In the current interstellar era, human population is immeasurable.
The cost of awakening is very high, which most mortals cannot afford easily. Because of this, mortals are treated like pigs by various clans, organizations, and cultivators.
...
At the mountain peak of the Tian clan.
One hundred people were shackled in chains, including children, men, women, and the elderly.
Splash...splash.
The members of the Tian clan used whips on those captives.
Tian clan members were cultivators, and their physical strength far exceeded that of the mortals they were hitting with whips."
Each strike of the whip tore into the captive's skin, revealing flesh and bone.
The children were crying, their loud voices audible from a distance.
The women's clothes were torn.
The men endured.
The elderly were beaten nearly to death.
Why would suffering of mortals matter to them.
One hundred beasts, many of them rank 1 and some rank 2, were chained and sealed in cages.
In the center, a pit was being dug.
Tian Ming and Elder Shan observed, evaluating everything.
"Clan leader, what do you think Gue Ze is up to?" elder Shan asked with a confused expression.
"Elder Shan, we have thoroughly investigated him, and he appears to be an orphan, but a mysterious one as well, he had shown incredible talent in business."
"I can bet whatever he is upto is going to be incredible." Tian Ming replied with confidence.
At that moment, two people appeared in their line of sight.
They were none other than Gue Ze and Gue Lao.
Gue ze and Gue lao as soon as they got near Tian Ming and elder shan they bowed with respect.
Clan leader he is my junior brother Gue lao.
Gue lao was wearing slave clothes but had a very manly look and sharp eyes.
"Clan leader, it looks like every arrangement is done." Gue ze asked while looking at those human captives and beasts.
"As promised, we have arranged everything: 100 humans and 100 beasts."
While Gue ze and Gue Lao were looking at the arrangement, Elder Shan spoke in a low voice."Clan leader, I thought you said he is an orphan.'"
Tian Ming coughed ahem..ahem ignoring elder Shan.
"Gue ze, everything is arranged, what are you planning of doing next."
The words Gue ze spoked created a serious sensation in atmosphere.
Eliminate them all, Severe their heads and limbs and render them incapable of fighting back, Once they die throw them in pit.
"Gue Lao didn't react to Gue ze's words because he had fully decided to support Gue Ze's actions."
But Tian Ming and Elder Shan revealed signs of discomfort.
"Although they were mortals, they were also human like them."
"Tian Ming calmed his mind. 'Gue ze, are you sure of this slaughter?'"
"Clan leader, this is going to be part of my cultivation, and remember—you said that Tian clan would support me."
"Damn it this guy manipulated me earlier to say Tian clan will support him." Tian Ming grited his teath so hardly that a portion of his teath got damaged.
Tian Ming orderd clan members to do what Gue ze said, Tian clan members were not willing to do it but they couldn't refuse it.
In the blink of an eye, the slaughter began. Beasts were growling, and this time even the men couldn't endure it and screamed.
Heads were rolling on the ground, brain matter was being poured into the pit, and women's breasts were chopped.
After ten minutes, there was only silence; no one was growling or screaming—because they were all dead."
Gue ze walked towards the pit.
In the pit lay the dead bodies of 100 humans and 100 beasts, and it was releasing a bloody smell."
Gue ze took out many materials and around ten artifacts, all of these were blood path items, which he threw into the pit.
After that, he turned back towards Tian Ming, Elder Shan, and Gue Lao."
"Gue Lao, remember every detail that I told you over the past two days."
"Lord Gue ze, you don't need to worry about me; I will not only remember it but also apply it to improve my cultivation."
Next, Gue ze bowed and said,"Clan leader from today my brother and I will be under your care.'"
"Gue ze, don't worry Tian clan will take proper care of you and your brother, you just need to cultivate well." Tian Ming patted Gue ze's shoulder.
After this, Gue ze jumped into the pit; his feet didn't touch the ground but instead landed on the dead bodies.
The pit was full of blood, creating a blood pool in which the dead bodies floated.
Gue ze was slowly sinking into the blood pool.
Gue ze looked up and shouted loudly."Now you can pour dirt!'"
Upon Gue ze's command, the people outside the pit started to throw dirt.
While dirt was being poured, Gue ze took out some wood path materials and artifacts and threw them around him. Afterwards, he took out a rank 2 wood path seed.
In ten minutes the pit was completely filled with mud, as if the ground had never been dug buring Gue ze deep under ground inside.
