Chapter 347: God of Slaughter Li Yang

Dunklu breathed a slight sigh of relief. His life was spared.

The direct execution of Balin, a cultivator at the Peak of World Realm, had been too great a shock for him. Dunklu himself was only in the Late World Realm and was no match for Balin.

As long as he wasn’t dead, everything else was negotiable.

"These are my demands. If you meet them, I will spare you." With a wave of his right hand, Li Yang caused streams of information to appear before Dunklu’s eyes.

"Hand over all of your clansmen who oppressed Earth. Their fate will be decided by Earth."

"Pay a compensation of one hundred quadrillion Galaxy Coins."

There were two demands. Handing over the clansmen who had acted against Earth wasn’t difficult; Dunklu had already brought them with him. But seeing the sum of one hundred quadrillion Galaxy Coins made him panic.

His entire family’s combined wealth was only seventy quadrillion Galaxy Coins. The amount Li Yang demanded was completely beyond his means.

However, Dunklu didn’t dare to bargain. He quickly said, "Yes, Young Master Li Yang."

Although he didn’t have that much money, he could borrow it. As a Late World Realm cultivator, he could still borrow a considerable sum.

Balin’s corpse lay right before his eyes. Even if Li Yang had demanded more, he wouldn’t have dared to utter a word of protest.

Everyone else present dared not speak. In the blink of an eye, of the two World Realm cultivators, one had been killed, and the other had to empty his family’s coffers to compensate Earth.

Li Yang’s gaze was calm. Naturally, the compensation he demanded was based on his investigation into the Dunklu family’s wealth.

His gaze swept over the remaining Star Lords.

"Kande, you led your family to oppress Earth. The evidence is conclusive. Die!"

"Muren, you once killed someone from Earth. Die!"

"Tariq, a member of your family had a conflict with someone from Earth, resulting in a death. Die!"

...

Then, Li Yang continued to act. Most of the people who had come to atone were executed, while the small number who remained trembled in fear.

A god of slaughter! At this moment, Li Yang seemed to have transformed into a veritable god of slaughter, showing not a shred of mercy.

In the end, ninety percent of those who had come to atone were killed! Only ten percent survived.

Every one of these survivors, without exception, was required to empty their family’s coffers to pay compensation.

"Minister Ke Yan, are there any issues with my judgments?"

After dispensing judgment, Li Yang looked to Ke Yan, the minister of the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, Milky Way Galaxy branch, who was standing beside him.

"No issues at all."

Ke Yan said with a smile, "Li Yang, for every person you executed, there is clear evidence proving they acted against Earth."

A slaughter of this scale still needed to comply with proper procedures; one couldn’t just kill others without cause. That was precisely why he had invited Ke Yan.

At this moment, Ke Yan marveled to himself.

’This Li Yang is truly decisive and ruthless, yet he hasn’t lost his reason.’

Faced with the same situation, some might have chosen a more lenient path, killing as few as possible. Others would have taken extreme measures, such as killing everyone.

But Li Yang killed those who deserved death and severely punished those who didn’t.

Li Yang nodded and looked at the trembling crowd. "Alright, this matter is concluded. You have three months at most to gather the full compensation you owe!"

"Yes, Young Master Li Yang," everyone present said in a hurry.

They smiled bitterly to themselves. ’We survived, but all our wealth is gone.’

’Still, no amount of wealth is worth more than one’s own life.’

"Remember this: I don’t want to hear about anyone oppressing people from Earth ever again!"

Li Yang’s cold gaze swept over everyone present.

"If it happens, I will not spare you again, regardless of whether you knew about it or not."

"Yes, Young Master Li Yang!"

"If something like this happens again, you won’t even need to say a word, Young Master Li Yang. I’ll personally deal with it and then come before you to atone for my failure."

The crowd hurriedly made their promises.

They now had only one thought: ’Never, ever provoke Earth again! We must stay far, far away from it!’

Just now, they had truly felt death’s approach!

From now on, within the Milky Way Galaxy, Earth would absolutely be the one power you must never provoke!

With the punishments concluded, the remaining ten percent of the crowd also departed.

"Minister Ke Yan, about the Balin family and the other factions..." Li Yang began, looking at Ke Yan.

"Don’t worry, Li Yang. Your punishments were all in accordance with the law. The Balin family and the others won’t dare cause any trouble," Ke Yan said with a smile, knowing what Li Yang was about to ask.

The Balin family was still very powerful. Even with Balin dead, they still had Star Lords, Longevity Realm cultivators, and so on.

Li Yang couldn’t possibly kill every last one of them, could he?

However, with Ke Yan’s backing, the Balin family would have no choice but to keep a low profile and not cause trouble.

The Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall was a juggernaut faction. As its minister for the Milky Way Galaxy, Ke Yan was undoubtedly the most powerful person in the galaxy.

If the Balin family dared to cause trouble, annihilation would be all that awaited them.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Minister Ke Yan," Li Yang said gratefully.

"Haha, it’s no trouble at all."

Ke Yan said with a laugh, "Li Yang, you should come visit our branch headquarters when you have time."

’I’m only the number one person in the Milky Way Galaxy because this galaxy has never produced any true powerhouses. There isn’t a single Deity here. Someone at the Peak of World Realm can call themselves king.’

’But with Li Yang’s Talent, as long as he doesn’t fall, he will easily become a Deity in the future. When that time comes, Li Yang will be the true master of the Milky Way Galaxy!’

’Even now, all I can think about is how to curry favor with Li Yang.’

After exchanging a few more words, Ke Yan also left.

"Dad, you were so badass!"

After everyone had left, Li Dong looked at Li Yang and said with immense excitement.

Those factions had been incredibly arrogant on Earth before. Li Dong had been bottling up his anger for a long time, but he had been completely powerless against them.

Longevity Realm, Star Lord Realm, World Realm—any of these could completely crush Earth.

But now, some of them were dead, others were forced to pay compensation, and everyone’s fate had been decided by a single word from his father!

The frustration he had been holding in was completely released, and he felt an incomparable sense of elation.

This was the father he admired most. Before his father, no problem was insurmountable.

Looking at his son, Li Yang said, "Cultivate diligently. When your strength increases in the future, you can be like this too."

"Okay, Dad! I’ll definitely cultivate diligently!"

Li Dong deeply admired his father and possessed the heart of a powerhouse, but unfortunately, his own cultivation Talent wasn’t strong.

Something like cultivation Talent couldn’t be inherited. It was rare to hear of a peerless genius whose relatives were also peerless geniuses.

"By the way, now that the situation with Earth is resolved, you should move forward with your marriage. Don’t keep Xiaoya waiting," Li Yang reminded him.

Li Dong had previously told Li Yang about his situation, and Li Yang had also met the young woman, Xiaoya. Both he and Zhou Yao were very pleased with their prospective daughter-in-law.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that she had stayed by Li Dong’s side for twenty years after the news of Li Yang’s death spread—a time when Li Dong had no intention of marrying—was reason enough for him to cherish her dearly.

"I know, Dad," Li Dong nodded.
