“Logan, you must save us. We are all humans, cultivators of the human race. Please speak favorably to the Beast King for us. We will be forever grateful and we can let go of past grievances.”

The three thousand people looked at Logan and pleaded. However, Logan was not moved by their words. He scoffed at their attempts to sweep past grievances under the rug with just a few words. What did they take him for? And they still had the audacity to act high and mighty even when asking for help?

He let out a cold laugh and questioned them, “We may not be mortal enemies, but we do not get along either. Now you’re begging me for help in such a rare display. What do you think I am?”

“Logan, we may have had our differences, but it’s been a while. Surely by now, all resentment should have dispersed. If you’re still holding onto the past, doesn’t it make you a petty person? Everyone’s lives are in your hands. Please calm down and don’t act rashly…”

Fearing the Beast King’s actions, the three thousand spoke in haste, frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

“With great power comes great responsibility. Since you are so powerful, you must help us all. Otherwise, you will be known as a traitor to the human race, and your name will go down in history as an ungrateful and treacherous worm.”

Logan merely scoffed at these words. These people had greatly overestimated their importance, thinking he would grovel to them. Stubborn even in the face of death, any remaining compassion Logan had felt for them vanished.

Self-centered and selfish, they should have fallen long ago. Wouldn’t their deaths be a blessing rather than a curse? It was actually a boon that the Beast King had captured them. Logan should be thanking him for eradicating these pests from the human race.

Logan turned towards the Beast King and stated with righteousness, “Beast King, I have a request. I do hope you will fulfill it. Consider it a favor I owe you. These three thousand are the hope of the human race, their future achievements beyond measure. I would even have to yield to them.”

“I can let…” The Beast King felt a sense of triumph. He thought that Logan was backing down for the sake of the three thousand people. However, before the Beast King could finish his sentence, Logan interrupted him. Logan held up his hand, signaling that he had a different meaning in mind.

“I suggest you wipe out these three thousand. I won’t save them, nor will I plead for them. Not only do we have no familiarity, we actually harbor great hatred towards each other. I am so infuriated by them. I was hesitant to kill them myself, but now, you’ve conveniently captured them.”

The Beast King was flabbergasted by Logan’s words. His plans came crashing down as he had hoped Logan would sacrifice himself to save the three thousand. Yet, his trump card turned out to be useless, leaving him in a very vexing situation.

“None of you are friends with Logan? And no one appreciates such a powerful cultivator like Logan?” The Beast King snapped, livid that his plot had failed. “If you had a good relationship with Logan, we wouldn’t have this problem.”

“Take these three thousand and execute them.” The Beast King waved his hand impatiently. He no longer wished to see the sight of these people, reminding him of his failed plans. He could’ve punched himself for not investigating more thoroughly beforehand.

The three thousand men felt as if they had been struck by lightning and continued to beg the Beast King for mercy. But he was only annoyed. They then turned to Logan for help in desperation, their attitudes now much more humble compared to before. The stark contrast from before was almost laughable.

“Logan, you are a forgiving person. Please ask the Beast King to spare us. We now realize we were wrong and overly aggressive previously, even going out of our way to target you. We regret those actions deeply. Scold or hit us as you see fit. But take pity on us as members of the same race, please spare our lives!”

The crying beeped at their pleas for mercy, making Bart Cloud feel happy,

“If you knew this would happen, then why didn’t you restrain yourselves before? You kept bullying Logan due to his lower realm. Now it’s too late to regret. Plus, this is the Beast King’s command. Even if Logan wanted to help, it would be useless.”

Logan remained calm and chose to ignore the pleadings of the three thousand men. It was not that he had no sympathy, but they simply did not deserve it. They only admitted their mistakes because of their current circumstances and would revert to their arrogant ways the moment they managed to escape.

“Logan, you are a ruthless and cunning man. You planned all this behind our backs to lead us to our deaths. If anything happens to us, we will curse you from the depths of hell. You are not fit to be a human and you deserve a fate a hundred times worse than ours.”

When the three thousand realized their situation couldn’t be reversed and that their deaths were all but assured, they began hurling all sorts of accusations at Logan. Everything that had happened was now Logan’s fault, as if the Beast King had nothing to do with it. Their words just reinforced his belief that these three thousand people were fundamentally selfish.

Lowen Shingo, unable to bear it any longer, wanted to argue on Logan’s behalf. However, Logan stopped him. It was pointless arguing with people who were about to die, especially since they did not reason things out properly. It was better for them to repent once they reached hell.

The three thousand Transcendent Tier individuals were led away amidst a chorus of mournful cries. Throughout, Logan remained calm which ultimately convinced the Beast King that Logan had no ties to the three thousand at all. Now that his plans were ruined, the Beast King had lost his advantage.

“Let’s talk this out properly. I can let a few of you leave if you first dismantle the Destruction Array. Then you can leave. I always keep my word. Once I agree to something, I won’t go back on it. You have one hour to consider. If we cannot reach an agreement, we can only hurt each other.”

Upon hearing the Beast King’s words, Logan smiled, “Do you have any credibility? You’ve already forgotten the favor I did you. Expecting you to keep your promise is harder than reaching the sky. I won’t dismantle the Destruction Array until we leave the Secret Land. If worst comes to worst, we’ll all vanish, and your Supreme Treasure of the Demon Beast race will be destroyed.”

“I disagree too.” Wake Shingo added, “Don’t take us for fools, Beast King. We need to see sincerity from you. After all, no one wants to push this to the brink. Your Supreme Treasure can be preserved, and we want to leave. It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it?”

Wake Shingo also chimed in. He hoped the Beast King would understand the situation and make a choice. He could not both have some people dismantle the Destruction Array and refuse to let the others go. That would only stall for time, and once everyone’s patience ran out, the situation would get worse.

The Beast King saw the situation with clarity. He did not want to let Logan and the others leave as they knew too many secrets. But if he did not let them leave, he could not protect the Supreme Treasure of the Demon Beast race.
