Chapter 111: Golden Light of Expiation Advances, Wei Lin Is Dumbfounded

“Exalted Immortal, to the left, to the left!”

“Exalted Immortal, to the right, to the right!”

“Exalted Immortal, there’s one more hidden in the alley.”

In the Qingzhou Ancient City.

Chen Yuan talked non-stop as he stared at the Fiendcelestial Cult devotees who were fleeing.

There were originally more than three thousand Fiendcelestial Cult devotees at first, but 80% of them were exterminated by Ye Ping.

About 10% of the Fiendcelestial Cult devotees were killed by Qingzhou cultivators, and the remaining 10% basically fled towards the Sword Dao Meet venue.

At this moment, Ye Ping’s cultivation level had not only risen to the tenth level of Qi Refinement, but he also had more than 2,000 power of merit.

Relying on these power of merit, he could increase his cultivation level again.

However, he couldn’t delay any longer, and hence, he couldn’t calm down and cultivate.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Ye Ping had just killed more than ten Fiendcelestial Cult devotees within seconds and his Golden Light of Expiation had also started changing.

The color became purer.

‘What’s going on?’

Ye Ping was somewhat surprised and could not help but ask Chen Yuan.

Upon sight of this scene, the latter immediately explained too.

“Exalted Immortal, congratulations, your Golden Light of Expiation has metamorphosed again. After nine metamorphoses, it will be advanced to the Golden Wheel realm.”

“If you can really condense the Golden Wheel realm, even a Nascent Soul realm elder will have to be terrified when he encounters you.”

‘Golden Wheel realm of expiation?’

Ye Ping was a little surprised. He really didn’t expect that it would be possible to upgrade the Golden Light of Expiation.

“That’s good, subduing demons can allow me to increase the power of the Golden Light of Expiation. That’s not bad.”

Ye Ping’s eyes were full of surprise.

Chen Yuan hurriedly spoke up.

“Exalted Immortal, it’s not just about subduing demons, you can also directly inject merit into the Golden Light of Expiation. That way, you’d be able to accelerate the completion of the metamorphosis.”

“You can inject merit too?”

Ye Ping was a little surprised. He really had no idea what to say and simply thought that merit was valuable and versatile.

At the thought of this, he tried to inject ten power of merit into the Golden Light of Expiation.

In an instant, the Golden Light of Expiation became even more golden.

Not only did it become dazzlingly golden, but it also seemed to have turned thicker.

The completion of the second metamorphosis only required ten power of merit.

Feeling the pleasure brought about by the Golden Light of Expiation, Ye Ping injected another ten power of merit.

However, the Golden Light of Expiation didn’t metamorphose. There was obviously insufficient merit.

Ye Ping injected another ten power of merit without hesitation.

Soon, the Golden Light of Expiation became even more dazzling. It was the third metamorphosis.

In the end, Ye Ping used up nearly 500 power of merit to barely complete the fifth metamorphosis.

As he progressed, the amount of power of merit he needed increased too.

In order to condense the Golden Wheel of expiation, the amount of power of merit he had now was still far insufficient.

Fortunately, he didn’t manage to metamorphose the Golden Light of Expiation. The current Golden Light of Expiation was not only larger and thicker than before, its power had increased greatly too.

The devotees who had been in contact with the Golden Light of Expiation previously would still wail loudly, but now, those that touched it would instantly die without shrieking at all. The range was large too.

“Exalted Immortal, you’re so ruthless!”

Chen Yuan was actually the happiest to see how ferocious Ye Ping was because he would gain a bit of merit for every Fiendcelestial Cult disciple he killed. Although it was insignificant compared to the amount of merit Ye Ping received, it was better than nothing.

Chen Yuan felt that it was even possible to re-sculpt his physical body. Although the chances were slim, there was still some hope.

“Exalted Immortal, you’re basically invincible now and you can kill anything that gets in your way. Even Lord Wei Lin will run when he sees you.”

Chen Yuan was bootlicking him endlessly.

“Even Wei Lin can’t defeat me?”

Ye Ping was a little astonished. He knew that Wei Lin was a Golden Core cultivator, and thus he felt that Chen Yuan was being overly exaggerated.

“Exalted Immortal, I’m not belittling you. Given your previous abilities, you’d never be able to defeat Lord Wei Lin even if there were ten of you. However, now that you have the Golden Light of Expiation, it’s different. You’re the nemesis of heretical cultivators.”

“It’s just like burning paper with fire. All papers would be burned into ashes by the flames regardless of how thick and many there are. The heretical cultivators are like paper while the Golden Light of Expiation is the fire. In the eyes of ordinary heretical cultivators, your Golden Light of Expiation is a blazing flame.”

“In the face of the heretical leader Wei Lin, your Golden Light of Expiation might just be a small spark. But as your Golden Light of Expiation metamorphosed, it might turn into a small cluster of flames, but even then, it would be enough to burn Wei Lin to death.”

Chen Yuan explained word by word.

Ye Ping also finally understood how terrifying his Golden Light of Expiation was.

He completely believed what Chen Yuan said, because no one knew more about the Golden Light of Expiation than he did.

At the thought of this, Ye Ping didn’t waste his breath on any nonsense. Without striking with his sword, he shot out a ray of golden light that instantly killed all the Fiendcelestial Cult devotees within a radius of a few hundred meters.

That wasn’t all. All the cultivators who had been poisoned or gotten into contact with the golden light immediately sobered up.

That was the power of the Golden Light of Expiation.

“Chen Yuan, you will die a horrible death.”

“Chen Yuan, you actually abandoned the darkness and defected to the light, what a shame and insult to the cult.”

“Chen Yuan, sooner or later you will pay for what you have done.”

Sensing that Ye Ping had become stronger again, the Fiendcelestial Cult devotees who were fleeing frantically couldn’t help but holler furiously.

What else could they do now apart from feeling helpless, incapable, and exasperated?

“Exalted Immortal, these guys have strong resentment, you should get plenty of merit from expiating them.”

However, Chen Yuan was in an extremely good mood, and thus he urged Ye Ping to hurry up and expiate them.

Just like that, at the venue of the Sword Dao Meet.

The clueless Wei Lin looked at Sikong Jiantian with a look of confidence.

The emerald gourd was continuously devouring the resentment, and as long as his subordinates activated their massacre mode, they would be able to condense a massive amount of resentment. By then, Sikong Jiantian would die there too.

However, there was something Wei Lin was bewildered about.

‘Logically speaking, the massacre should have already started, right? Why isn’t there a reaction after such a long time?’

‘They’re probably breaking the formation now, right?’

At the thought of this, Wei Lin’s smile widened.

Oh right, his smile was a little twisted too.

“Sikong Jiantian, do you really want to continue with the delay?”

“I know what you’re thinking about. You want to stall for time and wait until the reinforcements of Jin Nation arrive, don’t you?”

“I’m telling you, the cult has long thought of that and they’ve already ambushed every official passage. Do you think we’re only targeting Qingzhou? We have plans in all 33 states of Jin Nation.”

“If I were you, I’d escape now, at least I’d get to stay alive.”

Wei Lin said confidently.

However, he didn’t really give a kind reminder, he just didn’t want to continue being in a stalemate with Sikong Jiantian.

After all, no one would be able to guess the variables at all. If Sikong Jiantian retreated, he’d be glad. But of course, if Sikong Jiantian chose to stay, he wouldn’t be afraid either.

In all, he would have a solution regardless of whether Sikong Jiantian chose to retreat or stay.

“Are you scared?”

Sikong Jiantian asked with an icy cold gaze.

This time, a major incident broke out in Qingzhou and no one would be able to shirk the responsibility. Since things had already come to this point, they decided to kill as many as they could.

With that thought in mind, Sikong Jiantian didn’t leave and instead chose to stay in a stalemate with Wei Lin.

“Hahahaha, scared? Sikong Jiantian, are you kidding me? Why would I, Wei Lin, be afraid of you?”

“What would I be afraid of?”

“That you’d invite a Dao expert? Wake up, stop dreaming.”

Wei Lin mocked loudly.

He wasn’t being too confident, but mainly because it wasn’t difficult to find a Golden Core cultivator in this world of immortal cultivation. However, it was difficult to find a Dao expert.

However, before Sikong Jiantian could answer, people suddenly started wailing.

“Lord Wei, help! There’s a Dao expert!”

“Lord Wei, run quickly! There’s a Dao expert coming!”

“Lord Wei, there is… Ah, I’m dead!”

As the wailing sounded, black figures soon surged in from the Southern gate. They were disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult.

Wei Lin was dumbfounded.

‘What nonsense are you babbling in broad daylight?’

‘There’s a Dao expert? Where?’

‘Are you trying to scare me?’

However, in the next moment, Wei Lin was dumbfounded.
