Chapter 230
After breaking free from the old man’s persistent pestering, Qi Ping continued executing his carefully laid trap.
He didn’t care whether the old man’s words were true or false—it wouldn’t affect his plans in the slightest.
The only real impact that elder had was showing Qi Ping that perhaps not everyone at the upper echelons of the cultivation world was utterly rotten.
Apart from the mysterious black market, there were still people standing firmly against the Immortal Alliance, struggling and striving in their own way.
But wiping out the Alliance’s pawns was something he could handle alone. There was no need to drag other cultivators—rare as they were for still holding onto their humanity—into this mess.
Sure, the great Dao is heartless, and cultivators shouldn’t be shackled by mortal concerns. But Qi Ping still had some bottom lines. If he butchered countless lives and ravaged the world just to pave his own path to immortality, how long could this cultivation world really last?
At the very least, Qi Ping couldn’t do it. His Druid abilities came from the natural world itself—if the world decayed, where would his powers come from? His passives and formations all depended on a thriving, powerful realm. For that reason alone, he couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
“The trap site will be right here!”
To ensure his ambush plan went smoothly, Qi Ping had specifically chosen a location with highly active earthfire, based on the map.
