Chapter 119 - No interest.

Yao Jun ignored the rolling head of Cui Bao and bent over and took his interspatial ring. A quick check revealed that the ring was filled with a large amount of money and resources, it was clear that Cui Bao preferred to carry all the wealth of the sect on him.

After taking his interspatial ring, Yao Jun turned around and checked on the battles taking place in the courtyard. The snow elemental stood not far from him, but he was too scared to move. His strength was a bit weaker than Cui Bao's, so since Yao Jun could kill Cui Bao, it was clear that he could also kill him.

He was no longer affected by the slave seal, but he did not know if Yao Jun would choose to kill him. Yao Jun was the demon god, but that did not mean that he had to take care of and protect all Demonic beasts. Demonic beasts were a race that lived and breathed slaughter, the weak would be killed and feed the strong.

It had been like this ever since the first demon god walked the earth. Weak Demonic beasts knew that they did not deserve to be saved, the only use they had was to become food for the strong. That was why the world of Demonic beasts was one of constant slaughter, the weak tried to become strong, while the strong tried to stay strong.

The courtyard was currently filled with blood, torn up corpses and body parts spread around the entire courtyard. Little Thunder and Little Gray were the weakest of Yao Jun's Demonic beasts, so they had suffered some injuries, but none that were overly serious.

There were only a few people that were still alive. They grouped together and cooperated to resist the attacks of Yao Jun's Demonic beasts. But they were already wounded and it was clear that they would not manage to resist much longer, their only end would be to become food for his Demonic beasts, adding to their strength.

Yao Jun overlooked everything with a calm, nearly indifferent expression. He did not doubt that several of the people that died here were good men, people who had made the lives of the surrounding cities better. But he would not spare them, he could not spare them.

Since they had chosen to stand against him and on the side of Cui Bao, it was clear that they had already become his enemies. If he let any of these men live, there was a chance that they would attempt to harm him or those around him in an attempt to get their revenge. Yao Jun was not willing to let risks like these wander around. He did not want to end up regretting his mercy one day.

"You can leave. Try to stay away from populated areas, otherwise there is a chance that you will get captured again."

After checking over the battle in the courtyard, Yao Jun turned towards the snow elemental, removing all the lingering lightning as he spoke. The time it took for a snow elemental or a plant type Demonic beast to form was much longer than the time it took for a normal Demonic beast or cultivator to grow. Yao Jun found that killing it because of a fit of rage would be a shame.

"Thank you my lord!"

The snow elemental gave a deep bow as he thanked Yao Jun loudly. The snow elemental sank into the surrounding snow and vanished, heading towards it's old home at full speed. It was afraid that if it stayed there any longer, there was a chance that Yao Jun would change his mind and try to kill it.

Yao Jun did not try to stop the snow elemental from leaving, nor did he consider absorbing it into his gate. Yao Jun did not have too much interest in absorbing plant type Demonic beasts or most types of elementals. This was because of the simple reason that they were too limited for too long.

Little Thunder could produce and control lightning, which could be considered a very limited element, as it would only appear during thunderstorms. So if it could only control lightning, it's strength as a Demonic beast would be very limited. But Little Thunder made up for the lightning elements rarity by having the ability to produce lightning within it's body.

Ba-Shei could only control the darkness element, not create any. But it did not matter, as darkness was something that was present everywhere. Even if one were to be completely surrounded by lights, there would still be some darkness, whether it was a cavity or the space between the clothes and the body. So it did not matter that it could not produce darkness, as darkness was everywhere.

Plant type Demonic beasts could only control plants that were a part of them, so not only were they very limited in their ability to move, but they also required a long period of time to grow and produce new plants.

As for the snow elemental, it could only control snow, not create it. This would not be a problem if it simply stayed in this area, which was perpetually blanketed by snow. But if Yao Jun were to try and bring it with him, it would not be able to create any snow that it could control, making it nearly useless.

Once an elemental or a plant type Demonic beast grew in strength, reaching the 6th Houtian Sky, they would become able to freely produce the needed element or control the surrounding plants. But Yao Jun was not willing to wait that long, who knew how long it would take him to reach the 6th Houtian Sky.

After only a few more minutes, the last of the people in the courtyard was killed. With Ba-Shei's ability to move around in the darkness, and Little Gray's ability to mentally control people, not a single person was able to escape the courtyard.

Seeing that the battle was finished, Yao Jun stepped forward, heading towards his Demonic beasts. Eveery step he took caused another corpse or body part to sink into the darkness, vanishing from the courtyard. All these corpses would become food for his Demonic beasts, growing their strength.

But now was not the time to eat them. There were already people gathering outside the courtyard, trying to figure out what the commotion inside was. All the corpses would be stored in a corner of his gate, allowing his Demonic beasts to eat them in peace while he was waiting for Guo Luo to wake up.

"Come. Let us leave and find a peaceful place to rest."

Yao Jun's mouth curled up into a smile as he spoke, gently petting his Demonic beasts. After petting them for a short moment, he returned everyone but Little Gray into the gate. He hopped onto the back of Little Gray, who flapped his wings and took off, quickly vanishing into the horizon.
