The crowd saw it, the young man bent his knees.

Clearly, he wanted to kneel, but could not bring himself to do so.

"Young man, you don't need to do anything, just listen to what I have to say, and the same goes for the rest of you."

Xia Liu scanned the Beast Taming Sect disciples and said.

No one dared to take it lightly, for if they dared to be careless, they might lose their lives.

"A man has gold under his knees, you don't need to kneel to me. Even if I wanted to kill you, I would strike regardless of broken heads."

Upon hearing Xia Liu's words, the eyes of the young man nearest to him turned bloodshot.

Xia Liu, who was the same age as him, had formidable cultivation, surpassing him greatly in both wisdom and tolerance.

"You are disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, but many things have nothing to do with you, at least not now. As for the future, I do not know."

"The Beast Taming Sect is guilty of many crimes. Sect Master Qiu Tianhen massacred hundreds and thousands of families and sects to promote the Glazed Snake, possibly including your relatives and friends. He is unforgivable."

This...

Hearing Xia Liu's words, the disciples concentrated.

Because they knew nothing about these matters.

"As I said, you have not yet reached the cultivation level to know the secrets of the Beast Taming Sect. Elder, tell them about the monstrous deeds the sect has committed over the years."

Xia Liu pointed to the Second Elder.

The Second Elder did not refuse because he understood if the disciples repented, Xia Liu would never harm them.

They were innocent.

The Beast Taming Sect's cruelty has its comeuppance now.

The Second Elder resigned and disclosed all the orders issued by the upper echelons of the Beast Taming Sect over the years.

After listening, the disciples widened their eyes, incredulously looking at the Second Elder.

In their eyes, the serious Sect Master was nothing but a terrifying, bloodthirsty evil cultivator!

To promote the Glazed Snake, he did not hesitate to slaughter hundreds of small families.

To create spirit beasts, he planted traps in the Huaxia Realm, involving countless powerful cultivators, using their flesh and blood to nurture beasts.

Cruel to the extreme!

"As this Elder said, do you think such a sect deserves to exist?"

Xia Liu asked solemnly.

If it were before, some proud bone disciples might have retorted.

But understanding Qiu Tianhen's deeds now, they were pained, utterly disappointed with the Beast Taming Sect.

Moreover, to survive, none of them spoke.

"I came to the Beast Taming Sect because Qiu Tianhen sent two disciples to my hometown. If I hadn't returned in time, perhaps a city radius of tens or even hundreds of thousands would have perished."

"Tell me, does the Beast Taming Sect deserve to exist!"

Xia Liu almost shouted.

His emotions surged.

Thinking of the innocent people who died in the disaster, he felt heartbroken.

He wished he could crush the Beast Taming Sect.

But his rationale remained. If he killed everyone in the Beast Taming Sect, how would he differ from Qiu Tianhen?

"You should all leave."

After calming his emotions, Xia Liu said softly.

"This..."

The many disciples looked at each other completely lost.

Because, after leaving the Beast Taming Sect, they did not know where to go.

They had known the sect since they were sensible.

Sect Master Qiu Tianhen arranged people to care for them, and as they grew older, they underwent rigorous cultivation.

Until today.

This place was considered their home.

Leaving home, they did not know where to go.

"Thank you, Senior, for sparing us, but we have no home and don't know where to go."

"Thank you, Senior, if possible, could we stay in the sect?"

...

Some bold youths voiced the collective thoughts of everyone.

They looked pitifully at Xia Liu.

Towards Xia Liu, they bore no hatred; instead, they revered him.

They envied his earth-shattering capabilities and his courage to act.

If it were them, facing a top sect in the Southeast Region, they would probably have collapsed long ago. How dare they challenge?

"Think with your heads, how many forces has the Beast Taming Sect offended over the years? Without the protection of an array, without powerful beings in charge, are you waiting for them to come and claim your souls?"

Xia Liu spoke bluntly.

...

Nobody dared to refute Xia Liu's words.

Though they didn't know the Beast Taming Sect's misdeeds, they knew how overpowering it was.

Qiu Tianhen intimidated countless forces in the Southeast Region.

If the news spread, within three days, a slew of forces would come to attack.

"Roar!"

Just as Xia Liu was about to speak, suddenly, a great roar could be heard from several miles away.

The next moment, a massive Dragon Soul floated back.

"Little Seven, how did it turn out?"

Xia Liu asked.

"Roar!"

The Dragon Soul roared proudly, as if to say, it successfully defeated the enemy!

As Xia Liu was expressing his gratitude, two streaks of light quickly traversed the distant sky.

As they neared, a pale shadow dropped swiftly.

Ultimately, it fell onto the plaza, blasting a deep pit in the ground.

"It's the Sect Master!"

"No breath, he's dead..."

Looking at the lifeless Qiu Tianhen in the pit, everyone fell silent.

"City Lord Xue, Senior Mo, thank you for your efforts..."

Xia Liu cupped his hands towards the descending lights in gratitude.

"Haha, Daoist Fellow Xia, you're too kind."

Xue Ao smiled slightly, clasping his hands in return after steadying himself.

"City Lord Xue, there's something I wish to discuss with you."

"Daoist Fellow Xia wants to discuss these disciples?"

Xue Ao questioned.

"Yes, if they stay here, they're sure to die. If Thousand Mechanisms City finds it convenient, I'd appreciate it if City Lord Xue could assist them this once."

"You trust them?"

Xue Ao did not say anything further, but looked intently at Xia Liu, seeking his honest opinion.

"They are innocent cultivators; they should not die unjustly."

Listening to Xia Liu, a warm current flowed through the hearts of the Beast Taming Sect's disciples.

They quietly vowed to themselves that in this life, they would make Xia Liu their goal, striving to possess his capabilities, embrace his magnanimity, and emulate him...

"Very well, since you trust them, I will take them to the City Lord's Mansion."

"Why aren't you all thanking City Lord Xue?"

"Thank you, Senior Xia! Thank you, City Lord Xue!"

"Thank you, Senior Xia, thank you, City Lord Xue!"

...

The western Zhejiang disciples shouted desperately.

The sound shook the heavens.

Every shout symbolized a new life ahead, a new identity...

"Elders, you are the core of the Beast Taming Sect; you must know those heinous acts, right?"

After dealing with the disciples, Xia Liu turned his gaze to the Elders.

"Yes, we know."

The Second Elder spoke first, offering no explanation.

Guilt-ridden for so many years, he hoped Xia Liu would be decisive today, allowing him to rest, forget those woeful cries, and erase those harrowing scenes from memory...
