Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 868: Chapter 636: Remove the Weeds, Roots and All_1

This Xiao Qing, however, did not handle the matter with sufficient thoroughness.

If it had been He Song taking action, there would actually have been a much larger room for maneuver.

Just as He Song had said, for truly eliminating the enemy root and branch, there were, in fact, many feasible actions.

Beyond the two methods that He Song had mentioned, there were indeed other ways to make the extermination more thorough.

But after all, Xiao Qing was still green behind the ears.

Being able to think of using the relationships left behind by her Master, and offering treasures to invite several Foundation Establishment True Persons to ambush and kill the enemy,

...

and moreover, being able to think of eradicating them completely, killing the enemy’s family and their mortal descendants, @@novelbin@@

could already be considered exceptionally thorough thinking.

For someone who was previously like a flower in a greenhouse, a Foundation Establishment female cultivator,

being able to accomplish this much on her first attempt at taking a life was already surpassing countless others.

And because of this,

when He Song had fully heard what Xiao Qing had said, and casually offered two better alternatives,

looking at the enlightened expression on Xiao Qing’s face,

He Song’s gaze carried a tinge of admiration.

This Xiao Qing,

though currently just a mere maid,

and her cultivation only at the Foundation Establishment Realm,

in He Song’s view, this woman might very well continue to grow and even possibly step into the Golden Core Realm.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of temperament alone, the Xiao Qing before him had already surpassed countless people in the Cultivation World.

Besides, being able to join the Treasure Pavilion and cultivate all the way to the Foundation Establishment Realm,

Xiao Qing, whom He Song was now regarding, her Spirit Root aptitude, and acquisition of various resources were likely second to none.

In such a situation,

I can perhaps do something.

He Song’s gaze swept over Xiao Qing’s figure, a stream of thoughts racing through his mind.

However,

just when He Song’s gaze turned towards Xiao Qing, and he was considering whether to extend a helping hand while she was at her lowest,

right at that moment, Xiao Qing, after having recounted her own affairs,

and having heard what He Song had said,

felt an overwhelming turmoil rising within her heart.

Eradicating the roots.

Eradicating the roots.

Initially, she utilized the network and treasures left by her Master to invite several Foundation Establishment True Persons to join hands in assassinating the enemy.

Her mind was full of this one thought.

And when the enemy was surrounded and killed, and she learned of the location of the enemy’s family from the memories after their death,

that idea naturally took root and sprouted in her mind.

To completely eradicate the roots, she did not hesitate to pay a further price to continue to engage those Foundation Establishment True Persons to uproot the enemy’s family along with her.

Thus, after settling the hatred in her heart and accomplishing the thorough extermination,

she then learned that this Foundation Establishment Family had a branch within the mortal world.

This discovery made her, who had just learned of it, feel like there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.

But facing a branch of a Foundation Establishment Family within the mortal world,

the several Foundation Establishment True Persons whom Xiao Qing had enlisted were naturally no longer needed.

Therefore, after bidding farewell to those True Persons, Xiao Qing personally went to the mortal world to completely erase that branch.

By doing so, she could indeed say she had truly eradicated the roots.

The frantic thought that had once flickered in Xiao Qing’s heart was quietly brought to a close in that moment.

However,

just when Xiao Qing felt that she had accomplished the thorough eradication of her enemy and had indeed done it perfectly,

now, by a chance encounter, she happened to meet He Song.

And, she discussed with He Song the deeds she had previously carried out.

Originally, Xiao Qing believed that what she had done was quite perfect.

After all, being able to directly pay a price to have someone kill a Foundation Establishment True Person,

and afterwards not forgetting to exterminate all the members of his family, and not even sparing the branches within the mortal world.

Such a method, though common in the Cultivation World, was the very extreme of what she had heard of.

Being part of the Treasure Pavilion, she had access to rather comprehensive information.

Naturally, she would from time to time hear of cultivators who, after killing others, also exterminated the victim’s entire family.

However, someone like her, who exterminated an entire family after a killing and also did not forget to eradicate their branches within the mortal world, was quite rare.

Over the years, she had seen only one or two such cases.

After all, when cultivators kill and exterminate families, the point is to ensure they won’t be sought out for revenge in future years.

Hence, killing everyone who is capable and potentially able to seek revenge becomes a task nearly all cultivators undertake.

If a Golden Core Master of a Golden Core Family accidentally dies, it’s very likely to provoke a blood feud with the Golden Core enemy of that family, leading to the extermination of the Golden Core Family.

The Foundation Establishment True Person whom Xiao Qing had people kill, and his Foundation Establishment Family behind him, naturally faced the same threat.

Typically,

an ordinary cultivator would only go this far.

Even if a Cultivation Family is exterminated, whatever branches remain in the mortal world,

how much strength can those mortal branches truly possess?

Even if they wished for revenge, they likely lack the ability to seek it.

After all, in the Cultivation World, a great number of cultivators actually originate from the mortal world.
