Having obtained the Primordial True Explanation for such a short time, Wang Lin had already managed to use the Great Dao insights within it...borrowing another person's perfected realm as a medium.....to complete his own Intent and break through his cultivation bottleneck in one fell swoop.
Han Li also stepped forward to thank Zhu Chen and Wang Lin.
He was sincerely grateful that the two of them had come to help.
Of course… it would've been even better if Lin Dong hadn't come along.
After chatting briefly, Wang Lin turned his gaze toward the Extreme Yin Ancestor and the others.
"Fellow Daoist Han," Wang Lin asked calmly, "how do you plan to deal with these people?"
By his old standards, anyone who dared attack his companions would have been killed without exception.
However, after refining away the baleful energy during his Transformation Realm breakthrough, his killing intent was no longer as overwhelming as before.
Of course, that was only for now.
After reading Against the Gods and learning that the Killing Source and Annihilation Source could be fused, he had already begun considering whether to rebuild his baleful energy and cultivate those two sources in advance.
"Seniors, we were blind and offended you and your friends. We are willing to offer compensation and sincerely hope you will spare our lives…"
Seeing that the situation had completely collapsed, the Extreme Yin Ancestor immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply to Wang Lin and Zhu Chen.
At the same time, he removed his storage bag and carefully placed it at their feet.
Not stopping there, he shot a meaningful glance at his grandson Wu Chou, signaling him to do the same.
Although the Extreme Yin Ancestor was ruthless by nature, he was also extremely shrewd and skilled at judging situations.
The white-haired man had casually killed Jin Kui—his cultivation had undoubtedly reached the Nascent Soul realm.
As for the youth who appeared to be a transformed great demon, he had forcibly shattered the Void Heaven Palace's restrictions and effortlessly slain a Star Palace elder at the early Nascent Soul stage.
His cultivation was at least late Nascent Soul....possibly even higher.
Such figures were absolutely not people Extreme Yin Island could afford to offend.
Judging by Han Li's demeanor, he had clearly already formed ties with these two seniors.
If Extreme Yin did not show enough sincerity now, his fate would undoubtedly mirror Jin Kui's.
With Extreme Yin taking the lead, Wan Tianming and Man Huzi clenched their teeth and also offered up their storage bags, repeatedly explaining that everything had been a misunderstanding and that they never intended to offend anyone.
Although Qingyi Jushi and Tian Wuzi had not taken action earlier, they too brought out some treasured items to protect themselves.
Seeing Nascent Soul cultivators paying to buy their lives, the surrounding Core Formation cultivators quickly followed suit.
Spirit stones, magic treasures, pills—everything was thrown forward.
Before long, Zhu Chen and the others were surrounded by a small mountain of storage bags.
"Damn… so this is what robbery feels like!"
"I'm so jealous!"
Xiao Yan and Lin Dong stared at the pile with wide eyes.
Although both of them came from powerful backgrounds, they were now traveling alone and perpetually short on resources.
They were often hungry—this was the first time they had ever seen so many cultivation materials piled up in one place.
Han Li didn't harbor any deep hatred toward Man Huzi and the others.
Since they had voluntarily handed over such a large amount of resources, he wasn't inclined to push matters further.
However, just as he was about to speak—
Wang Lin calmly offered a suggestion.
Fellow Daoist Han, I have a way to punish them."
Han Li's heart stirred. He turned toward Wang Lin and asked respectfully, "Please enlighten me, Senior Wang."
Wang Lin nodded, then looked expressionlessly at the Extreme Yin Ancestor and the others.
"I'll give you three breaths. Hand over your soul blood—or die."
The moment those words fell, the expressions of Ji Yin and the others changed drastically.
Soul blood was the foundation of one's life.
Handing it over was no different from handing over control of one's very existence.
What difference was there between that and death?
"One."
As the group hesitated, Wang Lin began counting.
Barbarian Beard clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with unwilling fury.
Wan Tianming's expression wavered as well.
He desperately wanted to flee—
but could he really escape from a Nascent Soul cultivator?
"Two."
Wang Lin's voice sounded again, carrying overwhelming pressure.
Tian Wuzi and Mu Tengzi, whose cultivation was the weakest, were the first to give in. Gritting their teeth, they handed over their soul blood.
Seeing this, Qingyi Jushi let out a long sigh, pressed two fingers to his brow, and decisively offered his own soul blood.
In the end, even the Extreme Yin Ancestor and Wan Tianming compromised.
Only Barbarian Beard remained standing in silence.
