BOOM!!
The terrifying rumble echoed throughout the city, and all eyes were filled with shock, looking this way.
Some had seen the blood-red light descending above the Wang Clan just a moment before, and before they could fully comprehend, this tragedy unfolded in an instant.
Screams rose and fell incessantly, many cut short, as Blade Qi shredded them to pieces.
Wang Qinghe, a master of the Gang Essence Realm, was no exception, having no power to resist.
In an instant.
The Hua Mansion collapsed, crumbling into ruins, blood flowing like rivers, with tens of thousands lying dead.
Old Demon Lin laughed heartily.
Without a Celestial Human Realm master, the Wang Clan was as insignificant as ants in his eyes.
The blood-red Blade Qi swept through with nothing to obstruct it, the overlapping blade marks appearing particularly horrifying from a bird’s-eye view.
In just a few breaths, the Wang Clan, which had been glorious for hundreds of years, was nearly annihilated.
Only a few fortunate souls trembled amidst the ruins.
Old Demon Lin glanced back coldly and once again transformed into a blood light, soaring into the sky.
He could have taken his time to root them out completely under normal circumstances, but with the Divine Feather Grand General pursuing him closely, he couldn’t afford to waste time; the eruption he just demonstrated was merely to buy himself a few breaths.
"Divine Feather, if you have the skill, keep pursuing me. If you anger me, I’ll slaughter a few more cities for you to see!" Old Demon Lin laughed maniacally.
Several defiant blood-red blade lights fell within the city, again causing a multitude of deaths and injuries, terrifying spectators into retreat.
The Divine Feather Grand General arrived above the ruins of the Wang Mansion, face ashen.
He had been pursuing Old Demon Lin for over half a day.
Throughout this, Old Demon Lin would accelerate unexpectedly in an attempt to evade him—a tactic he was accustomed to by now.
Moments ago, when Old Demon Lin accelerated again, he followed as usual, not expecting him to detour and annihilate the Wang Clan.
Only then did the Divine Feather Grand General realize Old Demon Lin’s true intent.
Alas.
Too late.
Seeing the nearly exterminated Wang Clan, the Divine Feather Grand General suppressed his anger, aware that Old Demon Lin was retaliating against Ancestor Wang, yet this was also humiliating him and the Great Yan Imperial Court. Ancestor Wang worked for the court, and without proper restitution, who would dare serve the court earnestly in the future?
"Looks like I’ll have to compensate Wang Quan more generously later," he mused silently.
Below.
Members of the Wang Clan cried out to the Divine Feather Grand General:
"Please, my lord, avenge us Wang Clan!"
Some had been extraordinarily lucky, hidden in secluded corners, narrowly escaping the blood-red Blade Qi, while others, outside the mansion, had witnessed the massacre firsthand, now utterly bewildered, struck by this calamity, not even knowing who their enemy was.
The Divine Feather Grand General said nothing, only nodding slowly.
He gazed intently at the receding blood light, azure glow blooming, and once again pursued ahead.
He had no time to handle the aftermath; soon, other Celestial Human Realm experts would arrive to deal with it.
...
Moments later.
The Cyan Bull Blade Master was the first to arrive in the city, frowning at the chaos. The remaining Power of Heaven and Earth quickly led him to the source of the disturbance.
The Wang Mansion.
But now, it had become a wasteland.
The city’s Prefect and many Martial Path experts stared in shock at the ruins, managing the aftermath. At that moment, they sensed another formidable fluctuation approaching from afar, their hearts pounding, quickly turning their gazes.
Someone recognized the Cyan Bull Blade Master’s identity, breathing a sigh of relief.
"What happened here?"
A scion of the Wang Clan tearfully recounted the events.
From his initial anger, the Cyan Bull Blade Master’s expression gradually turned peculiar.
"Old Demon Lin exterminated the Wang Clan during his escape?"
A peculiar thought of retribution suddenly rose in his mind.
But he did not voice it.
"Cyan Bull Senior, please avenge us!"
The Cyan Bull Blade Master remained silent, just nodding slightly, then soared back into the air, pursuing along the Divine Feather Grand General’s lingering aura.
The Wang Clan’s disaster, what did it have to do with him?
Not kicking them when they were down was morally commendable enough!
The crowd looked at each other.
...
Another moment passed.
The intense fluctuation emerged once more from the sky, shocking everyone, hearts leaping with anxiety, unable to fathom the strange occurrence, how Celestial Human Realm experts seemed as abundant as cabbages, one after another.
This newest wave was especially numerous.
Yet someone recognized a few familiar faces among them, notably a scion of the Wang Clan, crying tears of joy.
"Ancestor! Ancestor, you’ve finally returned!"
The surviving members of the Wang Clan found their backbone, their cries heart-wrenching.
"All gone!"
"Centuries of foundation, all gone!"
"Ancestor, you must avenge the family head and others, they died so tragically!"
Ancestor Wang stood before the ’familiar ruins,’ listening to the wails around him, his spirit teetering, as if in a nightmare.
Went out once, and the home was gone?
His eyes were blood-red, fixed on a clan member nearby, his voice hoarse:
"What exactly happened?"
Listening to the clan member’s tearful account, Ancestor Wang let out a scream, staggering, vomiting a mouthful of vital blood, his already withered state deteriorating further.
Only then did some notice something amiss with Ancestor Wang—he was missing an arm!
They were all astonished.
"Ancestor, your arm?"
Ancestor Wang was deaf to them, only yelling skyward:
"Old Demon Lin, you and I are mortal enemies!!"
