Chapter 1816: with translation of chapter title

On Longshe Shan, Chen Churan suffered a tragic fate—she couldn't win, didn't dare to fight back, and could only endure beatings passively; her mother's loving discipline was truly effective, giving her a thrashing every day so the girl would remember it deeply, not just brush it off.

That daughter who lets things in one ear and out the other is truly… infuriating; we must make her remember deeply. On the Spirit Sword Sect side, things are relatively dull—those who decided to leave have gone in numbers, and some wanted to follow, but Lingjian Zhenren refused them.

He can only bring a limited number of people; it's impossible to take that many away at once. The Heaven Sword Sect wants outstanding disciples, not old-timers or worthless dying people—not worth wasting a slot.

After weeding out a large batch, the remainder are what he wants. He isn't Ming Jianzi, so he can't easily refuse; they should be what they are, and he needn't give them face—Lingjian Zhenren has the strength for that and doesn't need to watch their expressions. When he was Sect Master of the Spirit Sword Sect before, it was the same.

Now it's the same—no compromise possible.

"Alright, these are the ones; the rest stay behind. Heaven Sword Sect isn't a place you can just go to if you want—what do you think it is?"

"You all want to go to Heaven Sword Sect to make a breakthrough, to use its resources to extend your lifespans—hahaha, you're thinking too much. Heaven Sword Sect isn't a charity; it won't just give you resources for free."

"If you want resources, you must pay the corresponding price—that's the law; everywhere is like that. Why are you still so naive?"

Lingjian Zhenren's words left the eliminated old-timers' faces red, unable to retort or speak; they dare not act presumptuously before him, for he really will kill, not caring about their seniority or status.

No matter how high their seniority, they still aren't his equal.

"If you truly want to go to Tianwai, you may go on your own; when you reach Heaven Sword Sect, I will naturally bring you in and make you disciples of Heaven Sword Sect."

"Tianwai is very dangerous; the True Person Realm is hard to survive in, and it's also hard to reach Heaven Sword Sect."

"I advise you not to act recklessly—Tianwai is not this world; if you lot make it there and survive, that's just good luck. Don't think Tianwai is the same as here; Chen Chuyang has protected you too well, making you forget Tianwai's dangers."

"Alright, I don't want to waste words, nor do I want to damage our relationship."

Lingjian Zhenren waved his hand, no longer looking at those people; what they think is their own business.

He wouldn't care about those things; Lingjian Zhenren looked at the people he was to take away and said satisfactorily, "Alright, everyone, follow me."

Ming Jianzi and the others said nothing the whole time, just watching the show; those people could manipulate him, but not Lingjian Zhenren.

Ming Wuzi knew this would happen, arms crossed, waiting for Lingjian Zhenren to eliminate them; those people truly thought Heaven Sword Sect was Spirit Sword Sect, a place they could go to whenever they wanted, but Lingjian Zhenren gave them a heavy blow, and they snapped to attention instantly.

Lingjian Zhenren took a group of people and left without delay, fearing any mishap; these people had finally agreed to go to Heaven Sword Sect, so naturally we couldn't let them turn back, and he also worried that Chen Chuyang might change his mind and not allow him to take people away—otherwise it would be disastrous.

Leave early, finish early.

Thus, Lingjian Zhenren led people away from this world, heading for the Heaven Sword Sect in Cangzhou, Tianwai.

Seeing this, Chen Chuyang couldn't help but smile: "Lingjian Zhenren took the people and left—what speed! I thought he'd wait a few days, but he took them away so quickly; it seems he also worries I might change my mind."

Shang Hongxue joked, "If I were him, I'd worry too."

Indeed, I myself think I'll regret it; with so many people leaving, surely many have noticed, and those factions will certainly have ideas.

Chen Chuyang spread his hands: "What can they do even if they have ideas? If they're capable, let the elders of Tianwai bring them away—I won't stop them; in fact, I'd welcome it."

This world has its limits; even if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becomes richer, there is still a limit. Too many cultivators is not a good thing—it adds to the world's burden. Chen Chuyang is constantly strengthening the world's construction, continually siphoning spiritual energy from Tianwai.

His actions are highly covert; he dare not go too far, fearing discovery. He has always been sneaky, each time changing the place he siphons from, and the timing is random—he hasn't set a fixed schedule, all to prevent Tianwai natives from detecting him and ambushing him in advance.

Even I don't know the timing—how could they possibly know?

That's true as well—those whose lifespans are about to end, who previously lacked the courage to leave, seeing Lingjian Zhenren take people away, surely also want to go safely to Tianwai, but for them it's a dead end.

"They lack even the courage to strive; such people are no different from trash, merely wasting heaven and earth's spiritual energy." Shang Hongxue thinks nothing of them, even despising them.

They can't do anything right, contribute nothing to this world, offer no help, and instead keep sucking its lifeblood, increasing its burden.

Those people should just die early.

Rather than stay and waste heaven and earth's spiritual energy.

Many people, at this point, will go to Tianwai to seek their fortune; even if they fall, it's worth it.

Rather than shrink back in this world like a timid turtle.

"What the lady says is true—such people are indeed useless." Chen Chuyang agrees with Shang Hongxue's words; he knows the harm those people cause and their thoughts: clinging to life, wanting to keep sucking blood, then strengthening themselves, and destroying the hopes of others in the sect.

That way, the Faction's future would truly be gone; fortunately, the Yin Gui Sect doesn't have many of such people—after being cleaned out several times, the Yin Gui Sect now consists mostly of new-generation disciples, and those disciples are all hope.

By contrast, on the Spirit Sword Sect side there are more of such people—after all, in several successive battles the Spirit Sword Sect hasn't lost much, and the Monster Race side is the same.

In short, Chen Chuyang doesn't interfere in these factions' internal affairs; he lets them resolve themselves internally.

Three days later.

Mother Long Ming came down from the mountain, and Chen Churan's younger sister was freed—she could finally catch her breath.

"Hahaha, Mother finally came down from the mountain—now no one can stop me."

She really is going crazy—getting beaten every day, she can't match Mother's strength; every time she tried to resist, she was beaten down without exception.

Mother's strength is unfathomable, leaving her no power to resist; she doesn't know what realm Mother's power has reached, but it's certainly not the True Person Realm—True Person Realm couldn't achieve this.

Her attacks can't even break Mother's defenses—just imagine how outrageous Mother is.
