Through reading their memories, Su Chen discovered that the hundred or so cultivators who were about to be executed were all disciples of the He Clan.
The entire Sishui Continent was under the control of the He Clan. Why would the He Clan's disciples appear on this execution ground? Moreover, there were so many of them at once.
The He Clan was large and had many disciples. If there was some internal competition, it actually made sense.
However, the problem was that Su Chen discovered that these disciples of the He Clan who were about to be executed did not commit any major crimes. They were all labeled with some groundless crimes.
This could also be the result of internal competition. However, Su Chen also discovered that these hundred or so disciples of the He Clan were all very young. Moreover, they all had a single supreme-grade Spiritual Root. Every one of them had excellent talent in cultivation. Their lifespans were not more than 30 years old. Although their cultivation strength was not considered high, as long as they were given some training, they had a chance to become talents in the future.
Logically speaking, no matter how luxurious a clan was, it would definitely spend a lot of effort to nurture outstanding disciples.
However, the He Clan directly killed so many outstanding disciples. It was simply inexplicable.
"Pfft!"
The executioners acted decisively and beheaded the hundred or so disciples of the He Clan. The execution process was swift and swift. There were no accidents.
Su Chen naturally would not act. He was not interested in the lives of these irrelevant people.
However, Su Chen had some thoughts. He felt that there must be some secrets hidden in this. It might even be related to He Tianyu.
When the crowd on the street dispersed, a group of people came over and collected the corpses of the He Clan's disciples. They directly transported them out of the city.
Su Chen left behind a divine pattern imprint and continued to stroll around Shui Yun City. He also obtained a lot of information.
It had to be said that the He Clan's control of the entire Sishui Continent was really everywhere. From top to bottom, the He Clan's influence reached every corner. In the eyes of the ordinary people of the Sishui Continent, the He Clan was like the Deity Clan. They would willingly accept the He Clan's rule and treat He Tianyu as the supreme god. The He Clan's disciples were their parents.
The respect and love they had for the He Clan was even greater than the respect and love they had for their own parents.
It was as if they had been heavily brainwashed.
The He family was not a religion, but they were more like a religion. Their brainwashing ability was stronger than any other sect.
In comparison, the Snow Country, which was also under the control of the Qin Emperor, was much healthier.
The Divine Runes trembled.
Su Chen's expression changed. His figure flashed, and he arrived in a valley several hundred miles away from the northern outskirts of the Water Charm City.
The caravan carrying the corpses had just arrived at the valley.
The valley was shrouded in clouds and mist. A strangely shaped building that looked like a bunker was hidden in the mist. It was surrounded by tight sentries and many experts. There was also a tight array that covered the entire valley.
"This array …"
Su Chen frowned slightly.
He could see that this formation and the protective formation that protected the entire Sishui Continent came from the same person. It should also be He Tianyu's masterpiece.
However, the strength of the grand formation here was definitely far inferior to the grand formation protecting the entire Sishui Continent. With a flick of Su Chen's finger, it was easily broken without causing the slightest ripple.
Entering the valley, Su Chen hid his figure and walked straight into the ancient castle.
The experts guarding outside the ancient castle were at most in the Great Heaven Realm. It was definitely wishful thinking for them to find traces of Su Chen.
Entering the ancient castle, Su Chen's figure flashed and arrived in a huge space that looked like a crematorium.
The corpses of the more than one hundred He Clan disciples who had been executed just now were all placed here in their entirety.
At this time, a dark green flame rose from the ground and began to burn and refine these corpses.
This was not an ordinary flame, but the flame of the array. The flame contained a strange law that could decompose these corpses.
Su Chen watched quietly.
A moment later, Su Chen's face revealed a strange expression.
He saw that these corpses were burned by the flame of the array. Their bodies turned into ashes, but the spiritual qi in their bodies was extracted and condensed into balls of spiritual liquid that contained powerful life force.
What was more shocking was that the Spiritual Roots in the sea of consciousness of these dead He Clan disciples were also burned out!
After the Spiritual Roots were sucked into a treasure bottle and mixed with the Spiritual Liquid of Life, they were once again refined by the flame of the array. The impurities in them were removed, and what was left in the end was a group of pure and flawless supreme-grade Spiritual Roots.
Su Chen finally knew He Tianyu's purpose.
He was using the Spiritual Roots of the genius disciples of the He Clan to refine pure Spiritual Roots for his cultivation!
"What a sinister and vicious method. In order to improve his cultivation and enhance his strength, he even used his own flesh and blood!" Su Chen exclaimed.
Perhaps in He Tianyu's eyes, his descendants were nothing more than tools in his hands!
No wonder this old guy could have so many descendants. He was too vicious!
Su Chen was not angry because of this, but he finally understood that this He Tianyu was definitely a ruthless character. To be able to rule the entire Sishui Continent alone for millions of years, and no one could shake his position during this period, one could imagine how vicious his methods were.
What Su Chen saw today was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
"Behind the bright and beautiful, there is indeed a lot of filth."
Su Chen shook his head. With a wave of his hand, the bottle full of pure Spiritual Roots was crushed and melted by Su Chen's tyrannical law.
It seemed that he had to go and meet this He Tianyu now.
With a flash, Su Chen stepped into the void and directly arrived at the He Clan's sacred ground.
This place was not far from Shuiyun City. It was the true core of the entire Sishui Continent, and only the core higher-ups of the He Clan were qualified to enter.
He Tianyu lived here all year round.
As soon as he arrived at the sacred ground, Su Chen was shocked by the scene in front of him.
"What an extremely luxurious sacred ground of the He Clan."
The concentration of spiritual qi here was unimaginably high.
Every brick and tile here was priceless.
In the past, in order to build this sacred ground, He Tianyu used more than tens of millions of cultivators as coolies, and almost all the treasures in the entire Sishui Continent were plundered. It was said that in order to build this sacred ground, more than a million cultivators worked themselves to death here.
In the entire Immortal Cultivation World, a local tyrant like He Tianyu was probably one of a kind.
Su Chen shook his head and no longer hid his aura.
The aura of a Divine King was completely released.
"Who dares to behave atrociously in the sacred ground of the He Clan?"
The sudden appearance of a Divine King shocked the higher-ups of the He Clan. Soon, a large number of cultivators and experts rushed over, and there were several Divine Kings.
However, these Divine Kings were simply worlds apart from Su Chen, who was a Divine King.
Su Chen did not even bother to talk to them. With a wave of his hand, a terrifying storm of law swept up. In an instant, these higher-ups of the He Clan were turned into ashes, and their karma disappeared.
