The Netherworld Empire had done that practice for quite a long time!
They will force some of them to join and then made the rest of the faction joined them too!
That way, they could receive many new cultivators and destroyed one faction that could threaten them in the future!
In many cases, something like that would be good on the smaller factions to be able to merge with a bigger one, but that is not a case on the Netherworld Empire!
They would reap all kinds of benefits they could get from the small factions and later on disposed them like garbage!
Heaven's Top Mansion was one example of the atrocity that the Netherworld Empire was trying to do. They would invite the top brass of a faction to join them, and then made them attack the faction from the inside to betray their own faction and then corrupted the faction slowly.
If it was not because of Yi Tianyun, The Heaven's Top Mansion would've fallen to Netherworld Empire's hands!
The Spirit Race was currently facing the same issue, their top brass has already joined the Netherworld Empire as a traitor to the Spirit Race, and now they tried to pin the traitor with the Spirit Race themselves!
Ye Qingxuan felt the pain in her heart from all that sad circumstance. She was sad to see her own people fight amongst themselves like that. Her hatred towards the Netherworld Empire keep growing everyday. All she wanted was to destroy the Netherworld Empire and released the captured Spirit Race, who were being imprisoned inside the Netherworld Empire's Prison!
"Relax, I am here to help you! I will not leave until the Spirit Race is safe!" Yi Tianyun said to reassure Ye Qingxuan.
"This is all because of the Netherworld Empire! I will make sure they paid for all their mistake!" Ye Qingxuan said confidently with a little bit of anger in her voice.
While Yi Tianyun listened to Ye Qingxuan's rant, Wu Peng, who they thought was already dead, groaned in pain.
Yi Tianyun and Qingxuan immediately walked over and looked at Wu Peng curiously.
Wu Peng immediately said, "If you kill me, the Netherworld Empire will uproot the Spirit Race in anytime soon!"
Wu Peng tried to throw something towards Ye Qingxuan, but Yi Tianyun was so much faster than him, Yi Tianyun quickly kicked him, and he was slammed to the trees harder than before!
"You still want to fight me with those injuries? Are you that stupid? But don't worry, it is not Spirit Race who will be destroyed in the end. It will be the Netherworld Empire!" Yi Tianyun said casually.
Yi Tianyun quickly touched Wu Peng's body and activated his Absorbing Stars Great Technique, absorbing the Spiritual Energy from Wu Peng's body!
In a matter of seconds, Wu Peng's body was visibly getting weaker and exhausted because his Spiritual Energy was extorted from his body.
"What would you like to do to this guy?" Yi Tianyun asked Ye Qingxuan.
"I would like him dead!" Ye Qingxuan said boldly.
Yi Tianyun nodded his head and then kicked Wu Peng as hard as he could, flinging Wu Peng one last time toward the tree; he was finally dead after that kick!
'DING'
'Successfully killed Wu Peng!'
'Reward: 830.000 Exp, 4.300 CPs, 300 SPs, Bloodthirsty Chop Martial Art, Demon Blood Soaring Technique, Bloody Monster Knife, Nirvana Armor, 500.000 Exp Pills!
Yi Tianyun also skilfully took Wu Peng's Storage Ring, which was witnessed by Ye Qingxuan. She teased Yi Tianyun for being a sleazy bandit who took a dead man's possession.
"Well, it's better than letting it go to waste on a dead person." Yi Tianyun said confidently.
"How could you become this strong, this fast? What is your secret?" Ye Qingxuan asked curiously.
"I don't really know my self! I keep on fighting every day, and this is what I become." Yi Tianyun said vaguely. He couldn't tell anyone about his system, not without making anybody confused.
Ye Qingxuan was confused by Yi Tianyun's answer and decided not to ask about it any further for the time being. She quickly gave a sign to Yi Tianyun that they should press onward to find another intruder group and kill them all one by one!
At the same time, Liao Cheng was looking around the forest desperately for anything suspicious. He was already stuck in that maze for a day, and he would really like to get out of there!
"Go find a way to break through this array!"
The Spirit Race Traitor, who was beside him, also looked disgruntled, he knew that it would be almost impossible to break through that forest maze since the Great Array has been fixed!
"We can't breakthrough for a while, we need time."
"What a bunch of useless! You Spirit Race is very incompetent. You will be punished when we back!"
The Spirit Race Traitor kept apologizing and said, "Trace Confusion Great Array can't be solved without knowing its pattern, and the pattern changed randomly, even the Elder will have a hard time to break through the forest!"
"If we are too slow, Wu Peng will take all credits!"
Liao Cheng also felt irritated! He began to shout for the Spirit Race Traitor to step up their work so he won't be left too far from Wu Peng!
Yi Tianyun suddenly appeared among them and said, "Don't worry, Wu Peng won't take your credit because he was already dead!"
Ye Qingxuan was hide in the dark, ready for a sneak attack.
