Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 757: Chapter 454: Ksitigarbha_1

The cooperation between these two individuals posed a dilemma for Logan at the moment, as the Wind Snow Daoist was injured executing his command, and it was only reasonable to save his life.

However, this action had harmed many; the Spirit Stones were a minor issue, but Cassius Heaven had killed quite a few, how should this account be settled?

Logan looked at the Wind Snow Daoist and shook his head, “In truth, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to extend your life, but the error lies in your choice of ally. Cassius Heaven is a man who will stop at nothing. Over this period, hasn’t he killed no less than a thousand? Moreover, have you done your duty to supervise him?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

His words left the Wind Snow Daoist silent; he had seen for himself Cassius Heaven’s actions but had chosen to turn a blind eye, all because he needed the Spirit Stones.

“My Michael Silvercloud Sect has always been charitable, yet I was still captured by Cassius Heaven, who demanded a billion Spirit Stones. Isn’t that excessive?” Michael Silvercloud also stepped forward to accuse, considering himself fortunate that dozens from his sect did not die, unlike the younger generation of other sects who perished during their trials.

“Michael Silvercloud Sect?” At these words, the Wind Snow Daoist became furious, glaring daggers at Cassius Heaven. If he had known that Cassius Heaven had captured members of the Michael Silvercloud Sect, he would have eliminated him at once; why wait for Logan to arrive? He knew all too well what others didn’t.

Last time, when he stood up for his Family Clan and sought to wipe out the Michael Silvercloud Sect, it was Logan who stopped him. From that moment on, he vowed never to offend this sect again, and yet despite his carefulness, his subordinate had made such a grave mistake.

“There’s another thing you’re unaware of, the Holy Life Elixir has already been refined; not only did the members of the Human race’s Holy See refine it, but they have also improved in their cultivation. And you, having stayed at sea all this time, have missed out,” Logan added bitterly, further fueling the Wind Snow Daoist’s anger, turning his face pale. Had he missed his chance to extend his lifespan?

His frustration was immense. The reason he hadn’t waited for Logan to refine the Holy Life Elixir was partly that he doubted Logan’s abilities and partly because he thought he had offended Logan. Although Logan had shown leniency, what if Logan changed his mind upon seeing him again?

For various reasons, he had decided to stay at sea, but little did he expect to let such a monumental opportunity slip by. If he had gone, might he not be like those members of the Holy See now? One mistake led to another, and he was filled with profound regret.

“How do you wish to resolve today’s matter?” the Wind Snow Daoist asked Logan, calming his emotions as he awaited Logan’s decision.

“I’m not too fond of giving second chances, but you are an exception,” Logan replied after a long contemplation. “After all, you are the one who brought Cassius Heaven in. I hope you would be willing to sever this relation for justice, and as for you, remain here at sea, guarding its safety. Should any thief appear again, you’ll bear full responsibility.”

Logan decided to let the Wind Snow Daoist redeem himself, considering the latter’s mistake was not fatal but merely consisted of taking Spirit Stones from Cassius Heaven.

The Wind Snow Daoist nodded in agreement, “Without the Spirit Stones, at most, I can live for another year. I’ll use that year to atone for my sins.”

“Who said that?” Logan threw a crushed pill to him, “The Holy Life Elixir was divided into thirty parts. Aside from those people, several portions are left.”

The moment the Wind Snow Daoist received the Holy Life Elixir, he was first incredulous and then overwhelmed with emotion, “This… are you really giving this to me? I’m clearly a sinner.”

“I, Logan, have always been clear about gratitude and grudges. You were injured because it was my command that sent you to eradicate the thieves; naturally, you deserve compensation. Spend the next hundred years here, and perhaps saving lives over a hundred years will allow you to step into the ranks of the Saint Emperor,” Logan said with a faint smile, nodding, “Anyway, when I return for the third time, if the seas are still rampant with thieves, then you will have no reason to exist.”

“I understand,” the Wind Snow Daoist took a deep breath and turned to face Cassius Heaven, “All this time you have been deceiving me. I only allowed you to demand Spirit Stones, when did I permit you to take lives? Since it all started with me, now I will end it myself.”

The moment the Holy See’s Divine Skill was cast, how could Cassius Heaven, a mere Quasi-Saint, withstand it? Already injured, he was rendered barely breathing after one hit.

“Master, although I have made mistakes, everything was done for gold coins. Even if my methods were somewhat excessive, you cannot kill me over this small matter!” pleads Cassius Heaven, wiping away blood, “I am just a Quasi-Saint, unable to withstand three moves from you. But if I die, don’t you feel any guilt?”

“If you had only taken gold coins, I might have spared you. But there are too many lives on your hands; now you want to turn back? How can you erase these deeds so easily?” the Wind Snow Daoist said without a hint of compassion, compelled by his own disgust for Cassius Heaven and the expectation of Logan—a command he dared not defy.

He struck again, and Cassius Heaven was left gasping for life. The gap between a Quasi-Saint and a member of the Holy See was too vast. Cassius Heaven’s instinct to live made him want to flee, but escape was not so simple.

Trying to flee for even a mile, he was slapped down by the Wind Snow Daoist’s palm through the Void. Even though he marshaled all his strength to form a protective barrier, it was to no avail.

With his dying breath full of resentment, Cassius Heaven perished, bringing an end to everything. Logan was unmoved. For someone like Cassius Heaven, his punishment was well deserved.

Logan approached the Wind Snow Daoist and said emphatically, “The Holy Life Elixir requires seven days to refine. Before that, there should not be a single thief at sea, as this involves your own safety. Should it be like the last time, you might be attacked and perish during the refinement process.”
