Chapter 376: Weapon of a Noble Person
The Golden Core Tier earth immortal suddenly smiled and said, "I see, so you are a disciple of Legalism. No wonder…"
Chen Ping'an didn't know how the earth immortal had formed such a misunderstanding.
The earth immortal was probably very familiar with the culture and customs of the Azure Phoenix Nation. He smiled with squinted eyes and continued, "Then we should indeed spar with each other."
The atmosphere at the mountain pass instantly became very tense.
Vagrant cultivators were accustomed to going back on their word and betraying their allies. People die in pursuit of wealth just like how birds die in pursuit of food. Who didn't want to earn an additional fifty lesser heat coins? They would naturally work for clean money, but did that mean they would refrain from fighting for blood money?
How did vagrant cultivators obtain official positions in the imperial courts or become guest elders in immortal forces? Most of the time, their stepping stone would be the completion of a dirty task. For example, they would be tasked with assassinating some important official of an enemy nation, or exacting revenge and resolving hostilities between immortal forces, tasks that were unsuitable for the imperial courts and immortal forces to carry out by themselves.
The earth immortal calmly swept his gaze around as if he were inspecting the battlefield.
"Are you aware that tens of thousands of people will be killed or displaced if the earth bull chooses to turn its body and manipulate the earth veins?" asked Chen Ping'an.
The earth immortal hesitated for a moment before eventually nodding and replying, "I'm naturally aware of this, given my cultivation."
