Chapter 3312: Concealment
"Stop! Listen to me! I found a Nest! I want to give it to Lord Lu! I want to give it to Lord Lu!" the woman screamed as terror filled her eyes. Even with the jade butterflies surrounding her, it was impossible for her to hide her fear. She had no chance of putting up any sort of resistance against the Heavens Corps.
Any member of the Heavens Corps, when using their tools and equipment, could easily take on an Envoy with a power level of over 600,000. The gap between them and the woman was just too big.
The beam passed through the area, and the woman was obliterated. She was not given any chance to explain herself. If she had not attacked with her butterflies, she would have been simply taken to the Heavens Sect.
A Nest was a Nest, but not all cultivators who found them were evil. Some merely viewed the jade-colored orbs as a tool. So, when the Heavens Sect released the announcements about the Nests, those people willingly turned their Nests in and received generous rewards. However, there were always some who believed that they could deceive the Heavens Sect, evade pursuit, and then rise to power by using a Nest.
People were not fools. The Heavens Sect was a behemoth, and they were also clearly quite concerned about the Nests. That meant that the Nests had to be of immense value.
How could ordinary cultivators resist such temptation?
Most of the people who found a Nest were unwilling to hand them over.
Nests were being discovered in various parallel universes, and in far greater numbers than Lu Yin had anticipated. Fortunately, with the Heavens Sect’s announcement, many universes cooperated, and many people worked together to eliminate the Nests.

"Huo Xiu, why are you so pale? You just defeated your older brother, successfully gaining the family inheritance. You should be happy! Your mother is happy for you."
"I'm just exhausted from training."
"Then take some time to rest. Don't worry about your older brother. It was a fair fight, and the family won't favor him."
"Thank you, Mother."
"Big Brother? Why are you here?"
