Chapter 478 - 231: Suppressing the Heretics (Part 2)
Compared to Lu Hong, Augustus preferred not to kill if he could avoid it. The reason he killed Tie Shilan and Yu Lang was that they had participated in the ambush against him.
"What should we do with them?" Lu Hong pointed at the nearly two hundred strong from the Cold Extreme Divine Path and the Wanmu Divine Path.
"Just leave the Strength Divine Path, and I will let bygones be bygones," Augustus said. Before he was ambushed, he had defeated many heretics along the Strength Divine Path and allowed them to leave; however, no one heeded his advice, and they continued their wicked deeds once he was gone.
Once bitten, twice shy—Augustus certainly wouldn’t allow them to return to the sixth trial.
"We are willing to leave the Strength Divine Path." With their boss dead, the morale of his underlings naturally dissipated. They were all Third Transition strong, and the journey of cultivation had not been easy. It was clearly not worth dying for nothing in such a place.
"Good, I will watch you leave," Augustus said, fearing they might renege on their word and deciding to follow them until he saw them out of the Strength Divine Path.
"And you?" Augustus looked at the second in command, "What will the Wild Divine Path do?"
The latter gave a wry smile, "We will follow your orders."
Soon, Augustus was escorting three to four hundred people southward from the fifth barrier, drawing the attention of the Strength Divine Path Trialists.
Upon hearing how he had slaughtered in all directions and subdued the three great halls, the Trialists from the previous barriers could not help but cheer.
