After two seconds, Wu Tian withdrew his spiritual energy.
Zhao Weiqi’s eyes went blank, and then he knelt down.
This kneeling had nothing to do with his injuries; it was purely because Wu Tian’s spiritual pressure was too immense.
If Wu Tian had retracted his spiritual energy even two seconds later, in his current state, he would have likely exploded and died on the spot.
Wu Tian looked at him coldly and said, "Well, do you know what my level is now?"
It took Zhao Weiqi a while to snap back to reality.
As if he had seen something extremely terrifying, he shuddered violently, then said with a pale face:
"You, you, you… you are a ninth-level spirit cultivator?!!!"
His voice was extremely distorted, as if his entire vocal cord had deformed.
No one knew why he reacted so strongly, and only he knew what kind of person he had offended.
With his seventh-level spirit cultivator level, if the opponent were an eighth-level spirit cultivator, he could still barely sense it.
But Wu Tian was different. He couldn't sense Wu Tian's spiritual energy at all!
Facing Wu Tian's spiritual energy, he felt as if he were facing an ocean!
With such spiritual energy reserves, who else could it be but a ninth-level spirit cultivator?
At this moment, he was almost scared to death!
A ninth-level spirit cultivator was an extraordinary figure in some major sects!
Yet today, he dared to provoke such an existence. Wasn't this courting death?
Seeing his extreme reaction, Wu Tian said indifferently, "Do you still want to see my strength now?"
How could Zhao Weiqi dare to do such a thing? He quickly said, "I, I, I, I am truly sorry!"
"It was my fault for not recognizing your greatness, and I actually offended you. I, I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"
As he spoke, he endured the pain of his injuries and kowtowed twice to Wu Tian, then continued:
"Please spare me, I will never dare to do this again!"
Wu Tian looked at him coldly and said, "I already warned you earlier, but you didn't cherish the opportunity."
"Since you are determined to seek death, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Zhao Weiqi didn't even dare to harbor any thought of defiance.
He didn't dare to lift his head, kowtowing as he said:
"Please, don't kill me!"
"This matter is all the fault of my beast of a son. He is a little beast, and I am a big beast!"
"My son and I dare not provoke you. We will absolutely never do such a thing again. I promise you!"
But Wu Tian still didn't seem inclined to let Zhao Weiqi go, saying, "It's too late for you to say that."
"You also know my identity. Since that's the case, do you think your status qualifies you to make me change my mind?"
"So if you want to repent, you'll have to wait until your next life."
As he spoke, Wu Tian slowly raised his hand.
Seeing that Wu Tian had no intention of letting him go, Zhao Weiqi’s heart almost exploded.
After all, one only had one life, and once it was lost, it was gone forever!
He opened his mouth, wanting to beg for mercy again.
But he was too scared to know what to say.
Just then, Zhou Qian said softly, "Um… Wu Tian, perhaps we should spare him."
"Although they did such excessive things, their crimes are not punishable by death."
"Since they already know they were wrong, I think it's better to let them go."
Wu Tian actually had no intention of killing anyone. He did this all for the sake of scaring Zhao Weiqi.
So when he heard Zhou Qian say this, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you and spare his dog life."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Weiqi was overjoyed.
He quickly said, "Thank you for not killing me, thank you for not killing me!"
Wu Tian continued, "Don't thank me yet, I haven't finished speaking."
"Although I don't intend to kill you, what you did was indeed too excessive, so you must bear the punishment."
"Your son disturbed others and caused them severe mental distress. Therefore, you must compensate for this mental distress, right?"
Zhao Weiqi understood Wu Tian's meaning, and he quickly said, "I understand, I understand!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out a bank card from his pocket: "This card has one hundred thousand yuan in it. Consider it my apology!"
Wu Tian's gaze turned colder. "Really? Sect Master Zhao, you are the sect master of an Hidden Spirit Sect, yet you only offer a hundred thousand yuan?"
"Your son spent millions chasing women, which shows that your Fire Cloud Sect is quite wealthy, right?"
"So, shouldn't you compensate a bit more?"
Zhao Weiqi was stunned, then cautiously asked, "Then, according to your meaning… how much should we compensate?"
Wu Tian held up one finger.
Zhao Weiqi quickly said, "One million, right? No problem, I'll pay!"
But Wu Tian said, "What do you mean one million? Are you thinking too simply?"
"I'm talking about ten million. Without this amount, you won't be leaving today."
"T-ten million?" Although Zhao Weiqi could afford this sum, he was reluctant to pay so much, so his attitude became hesitant.
"This… ten million is a bit too much?"
Zhou Qian also felt that the condition was not very suitable, so she said, "Wu Tian, aren't you asking for too much?"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "Too much? Ten million for his life, I think it's still too little!"
"Sect Master Zhao, my price is set. If you agree, pay the money now."
"But if you want money and not your life, then I'm sorry, you can die now."
Seeing that Wu Tian was about to make a move again, Zhao Weiqi couldn't care about anything else.
He quickly shouted, "Wait, wait, wait!"
"Alright, alright, alright!"
"I agree, I agree, okay!"
As he spoke, he took out another bank card: "This card has exactly ten million. I came down the mountain this time to collect debts. Take it all if you want it!"
Wu Tian extended his hand, and the bank card immediately flew into his hand.
Then he chuckled and said to Zhao Weiqi, "You offered this willingly, right? I didn't force you, did I?"
Looking at Wu Tian's smile, Zhao Weiqi froze for a moment, then put on a smile that was uglier than crying:
"Yes, yes, yes, I offered this willingly, and you absolutely did not force me…"
Although he said it with his mouth, he couldn't help but wail in his heart.
A devil, this young man in front of him was truly a devil!
