Chapter 51: Cleaning Up (1)
As Old Jiang collapsed into the ground, dead, Yang Wei slowly approached his body.
Afterward, he did the same thing Old Jiang did to Old Lang’s corpse, slicing off his finger as he took possession of his spatial ring.
“What you reap is what you sow. For an insidious and scheming person like you, the cultivation world would be better without you. Thus, you can thank me when you arrive in the underworld.” Yang Wei said softly as he walked over to each of the deceased disciples.
All of them could have a bright future but because they followed the wrong elder, causing them to fight to the death, in the end, they obtained nothing.
Yang Wei calmly stepped over the pool of blood as he grabbed every single loot on the floor.
He would be a fool to leave them on the ground to respect the dead. Respecting is only possible when one is alive to receive and not when they’re dead without knowing the living world anymore.
Time passed slowly as Yang Wei finally finished looting all the dead bodies and bowing down to give his thanks.
“Thank you for fighting to the death and benefiting this Yang Wei in the end. I may have looted your property but at least you can thank me for finishing off your Elder Jiang who created this chaos.”
Yang Wei smiled briefly before glancing at Elder Jing on the hilltop, seeing if she approved of his action.
Elder Jing met his gaze and curved her lips upward. Afterward, she clapped her hand lightly before jumping down to face him.
“How do you like the way I handle this situation?” Yang Wei asked calmly.
Elder Jing didn’t reply immediately as she looked over the battlefield scene which is a complete mess.
“Your method of hiding in the bush and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike was commendable. However, you’ve failed at two important things that could cause a disaster to you.” Elder Jing said briefly, shocking Yang Wei as he didn’t know what mistake he made.
Holding a dazed and confused expression, Elder Jing shook her head slightly as she proceeded to explain his mistake.
“The first mistake you made is when you loot their property, you did not check it properly such as if the spatial ring has a tracking function.” Elder Jing said and continued with his second mistake.
“The second mistake is you didn’t clean the battlefield at all. If some other cultivators from different sects arrive here and investigate, they will know something is fishy.”
Yang Wei pondered the word from Elder Jing and he agreed with her. He was busy killing Elder Jiang and was distracted by the damage of this battlefield.
It wouldn’t make sense if both sides of the sects died yet their loot is gone. Also, as Elder Jing has mentioned, if the spatial ring has a tracking function, then they can trace it back to Yang Wei, thus inducing a death warrant for him.
The Azure Sword Sect and Burning Sword Sect would not let this pass when both their Elder and disciples were brutally murdered.
Even though the emperor has announced that their life and death stays in the mystery realm, who would actually follow the rule in reality.
If they got a hint of the culprit, they would do anything in their power to kill them off to save their face and complete their revenge at the same time.
Elder Jing smiled when Yang Wei wrinkled his eyebrow as he deducted the scenario of the outcome if he proceeds to leave the battlefield after looting.
“Elder Jing, then does the spatial ring I’ve collected contain a tracking function?” Yang Wei turned his head to face Elder Jing and asked.
Elder Jing showed her hand and Yang Wei showed the spatial ring for Elder Jing to check.
Elder Jing didn’t touch the spatial ring but used her spiritual sense to detect any true qi fluctuation embedded in them.
A while later, Elder Jing stopped using her spiritual sense and said, “You’re lucky this time because there is no tracking function in their spatial ring. However, don’t be happy as you won’t be lucky every single time so make sure you check everything thoroughly, especially when killing.”
Yang Wei nodded his head with a serious expression as he will keep this word forever in his mind.
In this harsh cultivation world, killing someone is a common thing and people become immune to it. Only when the person who died was someone influential would people start caring.
For insignificant people, no one would bother them as they can rot without a proper burial.
“Thank you Elder Jing for lecturing me properly.” Yang Wei said politely, as he unknowingly offended Elder Jing for speaking in a polite tone.
Elder Jing raised her hand and smacked on his head real hard without holding back as she injected true qi in it, causing Yang Wei to feel a ton of pain.
Yang Wei hurriedly tried to soothe his head and held a pitiful expression as he didn’t understand why Elder Jing suddenly smack him.
However, his expression only enraged Elder Jing more as she scoffed and turned around to clean up the battlefield.
Being ignored harshly, Yang Wei could only try to figure out what he did wrong as he follows behind silently.
Elder Jing used some of her true qi to cause the ground to tremble as it started showing cracks. Afterward, Elder Jing started blasting some powerful unknown technique at the corpses, causing their wound to show some burned mark.
Yang Wei doesn’t know much about Elder Jing’s action but continued to spectate and try to memorize it in his mind.
Elder Jing continued this process for every corpse that is near 3km from Old Lang who had his spiritual core self detonated.
Glancing at the battlefield once again, Elder Jing smiled briefly as she decided to focus on the last corpse, Old Jiang, who was killed by Yang Wei in a swiftly and clean manner.
