"We all come from the Boundless Heaven, a sacred land for cultivation. The Heavenly God Academy will probably be established there." The blond man said smugly, completely unaware of what Qi Shi'an meant.

Qi Shi'an's eyes lit up, his face filled with excitement.

Boundless Heaven? Boundless Heaven is great. Among the Nine Heavens, Boundless Heaven has the deepest foundation and the richest resources. A few raids there would be enough for my cultivation before reaching the Self-Severing Realm.

"That's great! How many divine herbs are needed to make a fighting servant?"

These words not only confused the cultivators from beyond the realm, but also left the cultivators of the Three Thousand Provinces bewildered. What was the Demon Lord up to? Did he really intend to bow down and become a war servant?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems unlikely.

Now everyone knows that the Demon Lord's actions in the Immortal Ancient Ruins were nothing short of monstrous, causing great suffering to those major sects.

They naturally didn't believe it; they thought that someone as brilliant as the Demon Lord would be willing to be someone else's servant, and that he might be plotting something else.

After all, the Demon Lord's reputation for being cunning and unruly had spread throughout the three thousand states.

"Ha ha······"

The cultivators of Wuliangtian laughed wildly. They did not understand Qi Shi'an's character, so they assumed that Qi Shi'an had developed a sense of awe and wanted to become a war servant to seek protection.

"Boy, if you want to become our war servant, you must hand over at least five divine herbs. Do you have any?" the blond man said with a cold smile.

"Really? Five divine herbs are enough to become battle servants? That's so cheap!"

Qi Shi'an was very excited and asked each of the cultivators from Wuliangtian a question. As a result, the cultivators from Wuliangtian couldn't help but laugh and nodded.

This was the first time they had ever seen someone being forced into becoming someone else's servant.

The Three Thousand Provinces have truly fallen into decline!

“Very good, very good. Then, to whom should I give the divine medicine?” Qi Shi’an asked.

"Just give it to me," the blond man said with a disdainful laugh.

"Then please count them. There are fifty divine herbs in total. Here you go."

Qi Shi'an smiled and took out fifty divine herbs, handing them to the blond man.

This scene left everyone stunned. Was this black-robed youth truly foolish or just pretending? Giving away fifty divine herbs so readily, did he really want to become a war servant?

Everyone was speculating that perhaps this young man had offended an unimaginable force in the Three Thousand Provinces, which was why he was in such a hurry to seek protection.

The blond man looked down at what he was holding, and his mind went blank for a moment.

He didn't know what tricks the black-robed youth was up to, but since these fifty divine herbs were given to him for free, he would never return them.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Qi Shi'an's next move truly brought them to a standstill.

Qi Shi'an waved his hand, and divine runes burst forth from his palm, transforming into chains of divine order that bound all the Boundless Heaven cultivators except for the blond man, catching them completely off guard.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an had changed his demeanor. He smiled and said to the two beauties behind him, "I didn't expect to gain a batch of Boundless Heaven's war servants before even entering the city. These fifty divine herbs were really well spent!"

The dragon girl's fair lips curved slightly, revealing a gentle smile, while the witch beside her laughed heartily, her voluptuous figure rising and falling, quite alluring.

Upon hearing this, the scene fell silent, with many cultivators wondering if they had misheard.

Something seems off about the script. Just a moment ago, wasn't the black-robed youth offering up the divine medicine with great eagerness, wanting to become someone else's servant?

How come it's now the cultivators of Boundless Heaven who have become the black-robed youth's servants?

Moreover, those cultivators from the Boundless Heaven were all extraordinary individuals, yet this black-robed youth dared to make a move outside the Imperial City?! Are all cultivators from the Three Thousand Provinces this barbaric?

"Hey kid, what are you doing?"

"Young man, you're courting death!"

A group of bound Boundless Heaven cultivators were indignant. These chains of divine order were wrapped around their necks like dog leashes. To be treated like this in front of so many people was a disgrace!

The most terrifying thing was that they desperately tore at the chains, using secret techniques to try and sever them, only to find that they were completely helpless. These chains were like celestial metal, indestructible, and tightly bound them.

Qi Shi'an shrugged and said calmly, "What for? I'm taking you as my war servants. Didn't we agree on five divine herbs for one war servant? You set the price, and I gave you fifty divine herbs."

"When did we say that there would be five divine herbs and one battle servant?!" the blond man said coldly, his gaze burning as he stared intently forward.

The face of the bound Wuliangtian cultivator behind him was also filled with gloom, staring coldly at Qi Shi'an with endless killing intent in his eyes.

"Are all cultivators of the Boundless Heaven so fond of breaking their promises? They clearly said something, but then they turn around and deny it?" Qi Shi'an's eyes turned cold, and a hint of impatience flashed between his brows.

Apart from the cultivators from the three thousand states, everyone else looked astonished, and each of them showed a strange expression.

"boom!"

A golden light shot into the sky, and the blond man unleashed a surge of blood energy that spread outwards, intimidating many people present.

This is a market town, teeming with life, and many people are turning around to look at this place.

"What, you want to break the contract? Then give me back my five hundred divine herbs!" Qi Shi'an said coldly.

"You're asking for it!" The blond man was about to attack.

"How dare you! How can you fight like this before the ancient city!" An aged voice echoed from within the city, its power awe-inspiring.

Although it is not an imperial city, the city's "smallness" is relative; in reality, it is quite magnificent.

Within a city, there are naturally many masters, either native to the area or descendants of unparalleled masters from the imperial city.

The blond man had already formed a hand seal. Upon hearing this, his expression changed repeatedly. He could only change the direction of his palm strike, aiming it high into the sky. Golden light surged, and the void exploded.

Everyone's expression changed. This person was too strong. A casual strike was enough to show his terrifying level of skill, which inspired awe.

"Wow, that's impressive. Better than those people who came to the Three Thousand Provinces for the assessment." Qi Shi'an sneered.

Everyone was taken aback. Was this person's confidence based on ability or just an act? It was hard to tell.

"Why bother? We didn't come here to fight. Young friends from the Three Thousand Dao States and the Boundless Heaven, please calm down." An old man walked out of the city gate and spoke to persuade them.

Everyone was shocked; this was a cult leader-level figure, and no one dared to be careless.

"I am here on orders to count how many people have come. Please be calm and respectful."

The old man was dressed in a purple robe, with white hair and a white beard, and looked like a wise man.

Hearing him say this, no one objected. No one wanted to offend such a person, since they still needed to enter the Heavenly God Academy and didn't want to be tripped up.

The old man in purple robes glanced sideways at them, then with a flick of his sleeve, severed the divine chains.

Qi Shi'an remained indifferent and calmly said, "Elder, you seem to be showing some favoritism. This is a battle servant I bought with fifty divine herbs!"

"You're talking nonsense! These fifty divine herbs were clearly given to us by you. When did they become money you used to buy war servants?!"

The blond man flew into a rage, and the Boundless Heaven cultivator behind him also glared angrily at Qi Shi'an.

This scene gave the purple-robed elder a headache. On one side were cultivators from the Boundless Heaven, whose status and position were extraordinary, and on the other side were geniuses from the Three Thousand Provinces, many of whom had outstanding talents. If he was not careful, he would cause dissatisfaction from the other side.

It's even possible that both sides are dissatisfied. He just wanted to complete the task properly, but he didn't expect to encounter such a tough opponent.

“Once you enter the Heavenly God Academy, you will be fellow disciples. Why be so hostile? Let’s each take a step back today,” said the purple-robed elder.

"No way! I paid for this. Either I take the war servant with me, or you give me five hundred divine herbs in return!" Qi Shi'an gritted his teeth, determined not to back down no matter what.

"Do you really think you can defeat us? If the elder hadn't intervened, that palm strike would have taken your life!" the blond man roared.

Qi Shi'an scoffed and laughed, "Is that so? Then let's exchange a palm strike. If I can't kill you, I'll admit defeat, and I won't take the fifty divine herbs."

From the very beginning, when he gave away fifty divine herbs, he had no intention of letting them off easily. He had to squeeze every last drop out of them and make these cultivators of the Boundless Heaven bleed profusely.

"you······"

"Alright, if you really took his fifty divine herbs, then return them. That settles the matter," said the purple-robed elder.

"I don't want the magic medicine, I only want my warriors!" Qi Shi'an said firmly.

"Elder, don't stop me! I'm going to kill him!" The purple-clad man's eyes flashed with fury, his killing intent surging.

Everyone was shocked; they had no idea how things had come to this, but that didn't stop them from watching the show.

This is a rare sight indeed! Cultivators from three thousand states fighting against cultivators from the Boundless Heaven is definitely big news.

“Young friend, that’s going too far. We’ll be fellow disciples in the future, why make things so awkward?” The purple-robed elder frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, Qi Shi'an sneered, silently took out a recording stone, and said, "Elder, these are their words, not my words of bullying."

The old man in purple robes took the recording stone and his expression darkened when he saw the scene on it.

The contents of this recording stone have been basically adjusted by Qi Shi'an using a special secret method. All the words spoken are true, but the order is uncertain.

It's unlikely that a mere Void Dao Realm sect leader could discern the clues.

"Elder, do you still have any doubts?" Qi Shi'an smiled calmly, as if victory was assured.

The cultivators from Wuliangtian had sinister expressions and stared at Qi Shi'an with extremely unfriendly eyes. They had not expected that this person's methods would be so ruthless.

Even if they knew the contents of the recording stone were fake, who wouldn't think that they were betraying their promise and trying to oppress the cultivators of the Three Thousand States when some people who didn't know the reason saw the scene on it?

If this gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable!

The old man in purple robes remained silent. These people made such promises, though there was a possibility that they were being tricked into revealing information.

But this group of people were really naive. They lowered their guard after just a few words and fell into a trap set by someone. He didn't even know what to say.

Chapter 227 Suppressing the Boundless Heaven Cultivators

boom!

At this moment, a strange phenomenon appeared in the void. A huge Dharma image appeared behind Qi Shi'an, with a wolf body, black scales, bull horns, three eyes, and nine tails like dragons. Then the Dharma image merged with him instantly, transforming him into a Nine Nether Beast.

"Since you want to break the contract, then we'll beat you until you're willing to pay!"

Qi Shi'an exuded boundless murderous aura, and an annihilating power permeated the world. His pair of demonic claws gleamed with a sharp, cold light, and his ferocious aura was terrifying, making him look like a demonic beast that slaughtered all living beings!

"this······"

At this moment, everyone was shocked. The black-robed youth's killing intent was too overwhelming, like a demon returning from hell, making everyone's hearts tremble with fear.

"Nine Netherworld Hound Treasure Technique!"

The old man in purple robes' expression hardened; this young man actually had such an opportunity.

Clang!

The blond man also made his move, a golden spear appearing in his hand. His aura surged, and he held it with one arm, giving it a powerful shake that shattered the void at the spear tip.

A burst of light erupted from the golden spear tip, even more terrifying than the sword's edge, sweeping across a vast area with a single strike, the spear tip trembling wildly as it thrust towards Qi Shi'an.

This single shot was enough to kill a god; it was incredibly sharp, its edge cleaving the sky, terrifying beyond compare.

"when!"

However, to everyone's surprise, Qi Shi'an chose to withstand the attack with his bare hands. His two demonic claws were so sharp that they cut several huge gaps in the void.

In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of the Dao resounded.

The blond man was utterly shocked. This person had actually clashed with his peerless divine weapon with his bare hands. How terrifying was that?

"This is a good find! It even contains Yellow Dao Immortal Gold. It's mine!"

Qi Shi'an extended one demonic claw and gripped the golden spear tightly, while the other demonic claw reached forward, accompanied by the surge of nine dragon bodies.

puff!

In an instant, an arm was torn off by the nine heads, along with the golden spear.

"No!"

The blond man screamed, a scream that was not only the pain of his severed arm, but also the heartache of having his divine weapon taken away by someone else.

"what······"

The next moment, the blond man unleashed his full power of magical techniques, charging forward to reclaim the spear, a rare and precious treasure that could not be lost.

At this moment, the other experts from Wuliangtian also moved, joining forces to attack Qi Shi'an and help the golden-haired man retrieve the Immortal Golden Spear.

Qi Shi'an stretched his body, black patterns appearing on his arms, his demonic power surging. As he threw a punch, the place roared, and the heavens and earth trembled.

Qi Shi'an fought against several people, facing them alone. He was like a demon god, with dense symbols and surging demonic light, his divine power unstoppable.

boom!

One of them was hit by Qi Shi'an's punch, which pierced through his chest. Despite wearing precious armor and using protective runes, he was still nearly blown to pieces.

This was the result of Qi Shi'an showing mercy, because the Heavenly God Academy would never allow internal strife, and his main goal was to obtain treasures from these Boundless Heaven cultivators.

If these people die, his plan will fall through; some people are more useful alive than when they are dead.

The cultivators from Wuliangtian looked extremely ugly. The black-robed youth alone had suppressed so many of them; this was far too embarrassing.

Not long ago, they were mocking this boy in black robes, but their words backfired. Not only were they tricked by the boy, but now they can't even fight as well as him.
