"Why are we flying? Is Cave Lord Venom Cloud making us dig up a new mine?" The cultivators had been enslaved for too long. They were powerless in front of Venom Cloud and could only allow her free rein over them. Even when they were being transported out, they believed that it was because of her.

All of them were moved out in terror.

Soon, they reached the asteroid"s surface.

Thousands of cultivators were moved here, with very few mortals among them.

w.a.n.g hugged his son and turned wary. As for his son, he saw a figure among the crowd. He shouted immediately, "Mom! Mom!"

"Hush." The middle-aged man was uneasy, but he immediately moved towards his wife.

"We were still mining when we were moved over," whispered his wife. "Do you know what happened? Why were we moved here?"

"No idea." The man shook his head. He shot a glance into a distance at the guards who appeared to be in a daze. "Besides, it seems the guards aren"t sure what"s happening either."

Just as the family of three were carefully observing their surroundings...

Phew!

A huge group of figures tore through the void. They were another bunch of horrified and unsettled cultivators.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

The void trembled slightly as more figures appeared.

"It"s the cultivators from the Frost Iron Ore Mine."

"Master! My master was in the Refined Stone ore Mine. The cultivators there have been transported out as well."

"Those are from the Smoky Copper Ore Mine."

"The Frost Iron Ore Mine is sixty thousand kilometers away from us. How can thousands of cultivators undergo Void Transference? Besides, many cultivators from different mines are being brought here."

"W-what sort of means are these!?"

A few of the enslaved cultivators had reached the Skyimmortal realm. They turned agape at the feat. At least, from what they knew, even the most powerful Skyimmortals, or even half-step Golden Immortals and those that matched mighty figures… were incapable of doing this. Perhaps only extremely powerful mighty figures who were adept in spatial aspects could do something so inconceivable.

Cultivators from eight mines were transported over despite being scattered.

They were all slaves of Cave Lord Venom Cloud!

But this was the first time they were all gathered at once.

"There are so many enslaved cultivators." w.a.n.g and his family were shocked seeing this scene. By the side, his wife could not help but say, "It seems like something major is about to happen."

…

Qin Yun"s spatial attainments made whatever he did easy.

He looked into the distant Changyu Great World. There were five top sects of the Numinous Treasure lineage. Qin Yun quickly selected the Red Sand Sect from among them.

"Junior Brother Yuwen," said Qin Yun via a voice transmission. "I"m Qin Yun."

The Red Sand Sect"s sect master, Yuwen Xiu, was a half-step Golden Immortal expert. He had extremely high standing in the Changyu Great World. When he heard the voice transmission in the sect, he nearly jumped in fright as he hurriedly replied, "Senior Brother Qin."

"Boom!"

Qin Yun casually blasted open a stable spatial pa.s.sageway that connected to the area above Red Sand Sect.

On the other end, many disciples of the Red Sand Sect looked in horror at the spatial pa.s.sageway. Only Sect Master Yuwen Xiu could see Qin Yun through the spatial pa.s.sageway. He immediately flew through it and arrived at the Disarray Star Sea.

"Greetings Senior Brother Qin." Dressed in a red robe, Yuwen Xiu was very respectful. Even though Green Touring Palace had numerous experts, Senior Brother Qin"s strength was only second to Eldest Senior Sister Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain. The Dao Ancestor had even bestowed him with his Qingping Sword.

"These are the poor cultivators who were enslaved by Cave Lord Venom Cloud." Qin Yun looked far into the distance at the tens of thousands of people on the asteroid"s surface. "Red Sand Sect is quite a force to be reckoned in the Changyu Great World, so I"ll be troubling you to help handle them. Those that need to return to their hometowns are to return and offer those that have nowhere a place to call their own."

"Senior Brother, how kind of you," said Yuwen Xiu immediately. "I long knew that these cultivators were enslaved by Cave Lord Venom Cloud, but the demons are rather powerful in the Changyu dominion. I did not dare take rash action. Senior Brother, now that you have taken action, you have saved them from living h.e.l.l."

Qin Yun nodded slightly.

Many demons were belligerent by nature. Many human experts were helpless towards that.

Back when Qin Yun taught a demon a lesson, it even caused Nine Phoenix to appear! Of course, when he trounced her to near-death… the demons did not dare say a word! And at present, the leader of the demons, Demon Emperor Bai Ze, was considered to have placid nature, an extremely rare trait among demons. His temperament was even better than that of many human cultivators, but there were too few demons that were like him. The belligerent ones were the majority and Bai Ze had no means to change the nature of the countless demons in the Three Realms. He could only restrain them as best as he could.

"Then, I"ll leave them to you," said Qin Yun.

"Senior Brother, rest a.s.sured," said Yuwen Xiu immediately. It was a great opportunity for him to make ties with Qin Yun, so he naturally had to do well.

Qin Yun nodded slightly and with a sweep of his gaze, he flicked his sleeve.

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

Qin Yun had transported Cave Lord Venom Cloud"s subordinates in pa.s.sing as well. As there were too few opportunities to do evil in the Stellar Sea, there were only seven with grievous sins. They were naturally killed by Qin Yun.

"Chi! Chi! Chi…" The seven subordinates had their glabellas penetrated by Sword Qi before their bodies reduced to nothingness.

"Ghost Worm Skydemon is dead."

"That ape fiend is dead too."

Many cultivators watched the situation play out in excitement.

After casually killing the seven, Qin Yun took a step and tore through the void.

"Senior Brother is really as the rumors say. He abhors evil." Yuwen Xiu watched this scene and could not help but sigh. "When Senior Brother, the best sword immortal of the Three Realms, takes action, even the demons can only bear with it."

Yuwen Xiu cast his gaze towards the tens of thousands of cultivators and small number of mortals.

The enslaved cultivators also looked up. They had seen a spatial pa.s.sageway blast open and it remained stable until now. The red-robed Daoist had walked out of the spatial pa.s.sageway and bowed towards another existence who left after saying a few words.

"Everyone." Yuwen Xiu looked down on the tens of thousands of people, his voice resounding in everyone"s ears. "I"m Red Sand Sect"s sect master. My senior brother, Sword Immortal Qin, personally rescued you. From this moment forth, you have regained your freedom. I will first send you to the Changyu Great World. After which, you can head home or anywhere else. My Red Sand Sect will help you.

"Now, follow this spatial pa.s.sageway and head for the Changyu Great World," said Yuwen Xiu as powerful Dharmic powers emanated and enveloped the tens of thousands of people.

Tens of thousands of people flew up in orderly fas.h.i.+on and began pa.s.sing through the spatial pa.s.sageway to fly into the Changyu Great World.

"We are free?"

"We regained our freedom?"

"That"s Red Sand Sect"s sect master? The Red Sand Sect is a top sect in our Changyu Great World!"

The cultivators were all excited.

When they flew close to the spatial pa.s.sageway, they saw the other end. It was filled with blue skies and white clouds. The scene was picturesque with lush vegetation.

"I see it. I see mountains and rivers."

"Changyu Great World, I actually got to see it again."

"I, Mu Xiuyuan, can actually return home?"

Many cultivators wept when they saw the scenery on the other end of the wormhole. During their days as slaves, they had never seen lush greenery. They felt their hearts brighten when they saw a world with color. Their worlds also turned alit from that moment!

"Dad, Mom, is that the Changyu Great World? How beautiful." The w.a.n.g family carried their child among the crowd as they looked into the distance. The child was looking around, having never seen another world since he was born in the mines.

"Yes, it"s very pretty. Our hometown is thousands of times prettier than the mine," said the woman. "Qian"er, I"ll take you to see grandfather when we are back."

"Qian"er, your grandmaster and your uncle-masters will definitely adore you," said w.a.n.g. He and his wife were feeling excited.

"Okay!"

The child nodded immediately as he immediately said, "Was it Sword Immortal Qin who saved us? Who is Sword Immortal Qin?"

"No idea. But since he"s Red Sand Sect sect master"s senior brother, he"s likely a mighty figure," said w.a.n.g. He remembered how reverent Red Sand Sect sect master acted in front of Sword Immortal Qin.

"Mighty figure?" The child was somewhat confused. "He saved so many people and good people will be rewarded."

The w.a.n.g couple could not help but laugh.

Good people will be rewarded? Was this a comment on a mighty figure?

"Yes, he will be rewarded." The couple did not say further. They carried their child, followed the crowd, and entered the spatial pa.s.sageway, heading straight for the hometown they had dreamed of thousands of times.

…

Cave Lord Venom Cloud stood in s.p.a.ce as two of her avatars were exploring the disorientation zone.

Suddenly, her expression changed.

"What? Sword Immortal Qin rescued all my mining slaves? He even got Red Sand Sect sect master to send them back to the Changyu Great World?" Although Venom Cloud"s true body was here, she also left an avatar in her cave abode. She naturally received the news rapidly. Qin Yun had only killed seven of her subordinates, but there were many Skydemons left alive. They naturally reported it to her immediately.

"Oh no."

"Will he deal with me after rescuing those mining slaves?" She felt uneasy.

Venom Cloud flipped her hand and held a token before activating it.

It connected to a distant spot.

It was a spot with a handsome man with white clothes fluttering.

"Master," said Venom Cloud immediately. "That Green Touring Palace"s Sword Immortal Qin rescued all my mining slaves. I have no idea if he will deal with me."

"Sword Immortal Qin? Quickly—" Following that, the handsome man saw something appear beside Cave Lord Venom Cloud"s side in horror.

A person had appeared beside her.

"Pfft!"

A wisp of Sword Qi tore through Venom Cloud"s glabella as her beautiful face froze immediately. She then transformed into a ma.s.sive spider corpse.

Cave Lord Venom Cloud was dead!

"Evil must be eradicated, so obviously I"d kill her." Qin Yun looked at the handsome man across the void.

"Yes, yes. Well killed, well killed." The man immediately forced a smile. "It"s these fools that do not know how to hold back that spoil the reputation of us demons."
