Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "As long as your clansmen are willing to pay a sufficient price, then I will let you go."

Hearing these words, a look of hope emerged in the eyes of Lei Xiao and Feng Ye. They were both Nurturing God cultivators and had awakened the Phoenix Bloodline.

As long as their Divine Souls remained, they could go to the Ancestral Land to be reborn through fire.

"We are willing, we are willing."

The three people spoke almost in unison.

"Very good. Then first let me see what conditions your clansmen are willing to offer in exchange for your lives."

Ye Beixuan spoke indifferently, without a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

After looking at each other, the three said, "Fellow Daoist, please allow us to discuss with our clansmen for a moment."

"You may. Anyway, you cannot run away, can you?"

Ye Beixuan played with the Sword Jade in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators of the three clans.

When everyone saw the Sword Jade in his hand, the fear that had just vanished surged into their hearts again.

The three quickly met with their clansmen and began to discuss.

A moment later, the three came before Ye Beixuan and said, "We are willing to spend items worth one million Spirit Stones to exchange for our lives."

"Not enough."

Ye Beixuan's tone was still that plain, but it carried an irresistible intonation.

"Fellow Daoist, how much do you want?"

Lei Xiao asked tentatively.

He had been beaten until he had no temper left and completely dared not bargain with Ye Beixuan.

If he angered this guy and completely lost his little life, they would lose big time. As for those lines in storybooks about revealing one's identity and saying things like "try touching me if you dare," only a fool would do that. Even if they wanted to settle accounts later, it was not now.

"Offer up the ordinary treasures on your bodies. Incidentally, help this Seat kill all the subordinates of those two Demon Lords, and send their Demon Crystals to this Seat one by one."

Hiss...

Hearing these words, everyone subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air. This Ye Beixuan really was a lion opening his mouth wide.

"Alright."

Lei Xiao no longer wanted to wrangle. In this trial, he had completely lost; he could only place his hope on the other Heaven's Chosens of the same clan to get a good ranking.

He turned his head and said to the disciples of the same clan present, "First, take out the treasures on your bodies."

"Yes."

Although everyone was very unwilling in their hearts, they dared not resist. After all, Ye Beixuan clearly could have directly robbed them, yet he found a reason to make them send the treasures out.

Under the gaze of their own leaders, the cultivators of the other two families also took out the treasures in their storage rings one after another.

Ye Beixuan did not go out of his way to check the storage rings of these guys. Looking at the treasures and Spirit Stones piled up on the ground like a small mountain...

He rejoiced incomparably that he had brought several storage rings this time. Otherwise, these things were so numerous they could not be packed. Sure enough, one would obtain more treasures only by going out for training.

He waved his large hand and took away two-thirds of the treasures, then said to the Feng family disciples not far away, "The rest will be divided up by you all?"

"Are these words true?"

Several Feng family Heaven's Chosens asked with faces full of joy. For them, this was simply an unexpected joy, and their favorable impression of Ye Beixuan in their hearts also rose in a straight line.

Feng Yanxiang asked coyly, "Brother-in-law, isn't this not too good?"

Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "If you all feel uneasy about it, then supervise the disciples of the three families for me later to strangle and kill the remnants of the Demon Race, and incidentally collect all the Demon Crystals. At that time, half will go to you, and half will be handed to me."

"Is there really such a good thing?"

Feng Yanxiang blurted out subconsciously from joy.

"Naturally. Since we have come, we cannot just return empty-handed without taking anything, right?"

Ye Beixuan knew well the principle that if he ate meat, he must also let the big group drink soup, so he spoke very readily.

Feng Yanxiang gave him a thumbs up. "Brother-in-law, I admire you so much that I prostrate myself in admiration."

Seeing this scene, although the cultivators of the three families felt very aggrieved in their hearts, the situation was stronger than people. Even if they had much unwillingness, they could only do as Ye Beixuan said.

Several miles away, Hong Li watched the scene before his eyes and muttered, "Fellow Daoist Ye's methods and strength are truly rare in the world. Those who do not know would think he is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years."

Qing Li said, "Stop sighing with emotion. Let us set off quickly to suppress the monsters. In this training, we do not have the support of the Fire Phoenix Clan, so wanting to get into the top three is not an easy matter."

"En."

Hong Li nodded. Although he encountered setbacks previously, his fighting spirit was now ignited again.

Ye Beixuan did not know how much shock the power of his sword just now had brought to the younger generation cultivators of the Desolate Continent.

He stood on a mountaintop quietly watching the movements of the disciples of the three families.

The monsters under the Golden Flame King and True Red King had long been scared out of their wits. Facing the menacing disciples of the three big families, their choice was to run away.

Those who ran fast could still leave a life behind; those who ran slow could only turn into Demon Crystals.

After more than ten hours of strangling and killing, the monsters within a radius of dozens of li were almost completely suppressed.

Ye Beixuan looked at the monsters handed over by the three families and nodded with satisfaction. He let his gaze fall on the remnant souls of Lei Xiao and the other two.

"Remember to keep your eyes bright next time, and do not provoke me again. Otherwise, do not mention you; even the families behind you will not be able to bear the consequences."

"Yes."

The three did not take the last half of Ye Beixuan's sentence to heart. After watching Ye Beixuan's group leave, they breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Phew..."

The three looked at each other, then returned to their respective family teams. After selecting a qualified successor, they let their trusted aides take their bodies and remnant souls to follow the team.

On the other side, Feng Yanxiang asked happily, "Brother-in-law, what are we going to do next?"

Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "Naturally, it is to find a Half-Saint level Demon Lord and take first place in this trial."

Previously, when everyone heard these words, they would definitely have tried their best to stop Ye Beixuan.

But after seeing that sword, for some reason, everyone somewhat looked forward to how many swords from Ye Beixuan's Sword Jade could slay a Great Sage.

Feng Yanxiang said, "Brother-in-law, this is possible. Otherwise, shall we catch a monster and let it lead the way for us?"

Ye Beixuan's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up to Feng Yanxiang.

"Third Brother, good idea. However, the monsters within a radius of dozens of li have been wiped out by us, so we can only continue advancing to the west to find a lucky one."

Feng Yanxiang patted his chest and said, "Brother-in-law, leave this matter to us to solve."

"Alright."

Ye Beixuan did not plan to do everything personally; it was time to let these guys put in some effort, otherwise would they not have no sense of participation?

The group traveled all the way forward. Three days later, they discovered a small Demon Race gathering place.

The Feng family crowd did not rush in rashly; the big group subconsciously let their gaze fall on Ye Beixuan...
