Xue Yangxia felt he had said enough, and further words would be meaningless.
It was better to end things here sooner rather than later, settling a lingering concern in their hearts.
Ma Tiangang and Ge Chenghua's faces lit up with excitement upon hearing this. It was finally time, the blood of the Nine Nether Physique could finally be used. They would soon become the most powerful beings in the Saint Realm, Saint Emperors!
What a distant term that was, a state everyone aspired to achieve.
If a cultivator didn't even aspire to become a Saint Emperor, it could only mean they were truly useless, incredibly useless.
Saint Emperors were the ultimate existence for every cultivator, the goal everyone strived for.
This was because Saint Emperors were truly invincible beings, reigning supreme over all other powerful figures.
The Saint Realm also had two Saint Emperors; they hadn't appeared in tens of thousands of years, yet their legends persisted in the Saint Realm. This was the charm of Saint Emperors.
Therefore, for a cultivator to lack ambition and not strive for Saint Emperor cultivation was a true waste of cultivation resources.
Not being able to cultivate was one thing; not wanting to was another. These were two separate matters.
"You said you'd let us eat our fill before heading on our way. We haven't even started eating, and you're in such a hurry?" Xia Feng pointed at the table laden with food. It wasn't even time yet.
Were they rushing to make a move?
You said you'd treat everyone to a meal, and now you're not even letting them eat. Does that count as going back on your word?
Xue Yangxia couldn't be bothered with Xia Feng. Instead, he shook his head and chuckled, "You're mistaken. This is preparation for your journey to the Yellow Springs, not for you to eat."
As Xue Yangxia continued his rambling, Ma Tiangang grew impatient.
"Big Brother, stop wasting time with this brat. Let's make our move. I can't wait any longer." As Ma Tiangang spoke, he glanced at Li Yurou, his gaze so intense it seemed he wished to drink her blood.
In their eyes, Li Yurou was the most precious thing in the world. Their eyes were practically watering, even appearing to be aflame.
Ge Chenghua was the same, swallowing hard, his hands clenched into fists, eager to pounce and bite into Li Yurou's neck, to drain her.
Xue Yangxia looked at his two impatient subordinates. He stood up abruptly and said, "Prepare the altar and escort this beautiful lady over."
"Yes, Big Brother." Ma Tiangang and Ge Chenghua, hearing this, excitedly rose and scurried away.
The object of their constant longing was about to become a reality; no one could refuse such a prospect.
These two lacked Xue Yangxia's immense patience. Meat that was within reach should be tasted first. What was the point of all these empty words?
Now that Xue Yangxia had finally given the order, Ma Tiangang and Ge Chenghua quickly departed to prepare the altar.
This was a matter that required their personal attention; they wouldn't allow anyone else to help, nor would they agree to it.
If even the slightest mistake were to occur, they wouldn't just have the desire to kill others; they'd have the desire to kill themselves.
As the two quickly ran off, Xue Yangxia turned to Xia Feng and Liu Chan, saying, "Prepare to send you lot on your way first. Later, you'll be waiting in shock for this young lady."
He also looked at Liu Chan, "I didn't expect you to have the strength of a mid-stage Saint Venerable at such a young age. It's a pity, your sacrifice this time is not in vain. When you go below, you can continue to look after them."
Xue Yangxia muttered to himself, as if the outcome was already decided.
He himself was at the Great Perfection stage of Saint Venerable. A mid-stage Saint Venerable was truly no match for him.
Moreover, he had the Vice City Lord, who was at the late stage of Saint Venerable, by his side. How could he fear a mid-stage Saint Venerable woman causing any trouble?
This was the Alien Beast City, where everything was dictated by him. It was useless for anyone to come here.
"Are you that confident?" Xia Feng suddenly laughed.
Everything that needed to be said had been said; there was no longer any need to pretend.
As for Liu Chan and the other women, they showed no concern whatsoever, their faces devoid of any expression of facing danger.
This was precisely what Xue Yangxia found strange.
By all rights, when ordinary women encountered such life-and-death matters, they would have been terrified, their faces pale, crying and wailing.
Yet, they appeared completely indifferent. Either they were devoid of emotion,
Or they were supremely confident.
Therefore, when Xia Feng spoke those words, Xue Yangxia realized something was amiss. He suddenly retreated a few steps and shouted:
"Who exactly are you?"
