870: 869: Some people are destined to be untouchable 870: 869: Some people are destined to be untouchable “Si Yue, do we really have to go this far?” Lan Tianhong was unwilling.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t resort to extreme measures.
But now it seemed impossible not to use them, and once he did, he would have to bear the consequences.
“Can’t we be as we were before?”
“No, I must marry you, even if you really don’t like me, you still have to marry me.”
“What if I say no?”
“Then I will destroy your entire family.” Lan Tianhong sneered.
“Lan Tianhong, I never thought you were such a person.
Love is holy and must have feeling.
Being forced together, neither will be happy.
Why do you insist?”
“This is my business.
It’s the bottom line.
In a month, we’re getting married.
If you don’t agree, there will no longer be a Si Family in Star World.
Don’t forget, there are many families wanting to ally with my Lan Family.
Women more outstanding than you, Si Yue, are plenty, but I want you to know I, Lan Tianhong, chose you and must marry you.”
“That’s impossible.
No matter what, I won’t agree.
As for you saying you’ll destroy my Si Family, I’ll also tell you, as long as I’m alive, I will destroy your Lan Family.
You should know I always fulfill my words.” Si Yue said with a faint smile.
Those who knew her were aware she always meant what she said and would follow through.
After hearing these words, Lan Tianhong fell silent.
What could he say?
There was nothing left to say.
If she wouldn’t comply, then destruction it would be.
He would not let others ridicule him forever.
Lan Tianhong cast a deep glance at the woman beside him, with pain, pity, reluctance, and more unyielding in his eyes, but in the end, they all turned into resolve.
Since he couldn’t have her, he wouldn’t let anyone else have her either.
Returning to the living room, he sat down silently, waiting for his uncle to finish his business, not saying another word to Si Yue afterwards.
Not even looking at her.
If they couldn’t be lovers, then let them be enemies.
He wanted her to always remember his name, Lan Tianhong.
If not with love, then let hate bind them.
Even remembrance through hate can be deeply ingrained.
On the Immortal Boat, Lan Tianhong’s uncle was shocked to hear his grandnephew’s idea, not expecting it to be so ruthless.
“Hong’er, have you really decided?
There’s no turning back once you go down this path.”
“Uncle, without ruthlessness, one isn’t a man.
Besides, we need to assert our power.
The Lan Family has always been a major clan in Star World, not to be casually commented upon by anyone.” Lan Tianhong replied.
“Alright, since you’ve decided, go ahead.
I’ll authorize a unit of Blue Clothes Guards for you.”
“Thank you, Uncle.”
“I hope you’ve made the right choice this time.
It’s a pity for that girl from the Si Family.” The elder departed alone, and Lan Tianhong watched the departing Immortal Boat without a hint of hesitation, not one to give up halfway.
Turning around, he flew towards the Si Family Territory.
The Si Family was about to hold a grand birthday banquet in two days.
Many branches of the Si Family had already arrived.
Apart from some young members out for experience, nearly everyone else was here.
Some came to show their face, others to see if they could gain any opportunity.
But they never expected Death God to arrive stealthily.
Just as they were filled with joy, the bright sky suddenly darkened.
The entire manor was enveloped within.
The Si Family elders quickly reacted, casting a Defensive Array to cover the entire Si Family Manor.
“Should we summon the ancestor?”
“The ancestor will awaken in one more day.
Hastily awakening him may affect his Cultivation.
Let’s wait and see.”
The Si Family Patriarch, Si Yue’s father, felt heavy-hearted.
Here, he was one of the most knowledgeable people.
This overwhelming black cloud was not naturally formed.
It was a Forbidden Technique known as Star Concealing Sky, acclaimed as ‘under its concealing sky, all will perish.’
How long the Defense Shield could last, he wasn’t sure.
The only plan now was to seek aid.
He sent out dozens of help charms.
Soon, replies arrived, much to the Si Family’s surprise.
They thought those families would help, or at least say something nice, but never expected each to decline with inexplicable reasons.
This was too unusual.
It seemed the Lan Family had made a move.
“Summon the ancestor!” The Si Family’s only God King Realm must be awakened.
It concerned the entire clan’s survival; no one dared to be careless.
“What about Si Yue’s side?”
“Don’t call them back.
Let them go as far as they can.
This time, we might not survive this ordeal.”
“Chief, activate the Transmission Array, get as many out as possible.”
“It’s too late.
Within Star Concealing Sky, all Transmission Arrays are nullified.” The Si Family Patriarch sat at the head, his expression sorrowful.
His own death didn’t matter, but losing the entire clan here was too grievous.
“Chief, is there really no way?”
“There is a way, but the effect might be minimal.”
“Chief, no matter what, we must try.” The elders of the Si Family walked in, each with a heavy face, apparently realizing the seriousness of the situation.
Just as the Si Family Patriarch was about to speak, giant hands descended from the sky above the manor, carrying the unmatched Star Energy with them.
Boom!
After the giant hands struck, they vanished but took countless lives with them.
The lives of Si Family clansmen were taken by the dense giant hands, causing the elders immense heartache.
Those were the Si Family’s future, gone just like that.
Who on earth was willing to use a Forbidden Technique with such recklessness?
Rescue!
The elders collectively took action.
The giant hands were merely the first wave of attacks.
Soon, Divine Punishment followed, and even the elders were hard-pressed, watching as their clansmen had their Divine Souls annihilated.
For a moment, grievances soared in the Si Family Territory, death auras spread, and if not dissipated, it would become the darkest ghost land.
Yet, who cared?
At least Lan Tianhong didn’t.
Anything he couldn’t obtain, he would destroy.
He wanted Si Yue to see the outcome of betraying him.
Coldly watching the Si Family clansmen’s annihilation, Lan Tianhong’s heart was calm as a lake.
At that moment, the Si Family unleashed a stunning Sword Qi, which directly shattered Divine Punishment, and a figure appeared in the Void, eyes piercing through Star Concealing Sky, fixing on Lan Tianhong.
This scene indeed startled Lan Tianhong, almost making him turn and flee, but he quickly regained composure.
The Forbidden Technique was specifically to deal with God King Realm experts.
No matter how strong, without breaking into the Emperor Realm, one couldn’t escape.
“Lan Family boy, if the Si Family doesn’t perish, the Lan Family will.” After speaking, he flew towards the sky above Star Concealing Sky.
What did that old man intend to do?
Lan Tianhong stared dumbfounded at everything, not expecting the Si Family ancestor to be so domineering.
For the family, did he really sacrifice himself?
Lan Tianhong was deeply moved for a moment; could he do the same if it were him?
Clearly not; to be honest, he already felt some regret.
This wasn’t how it was supposed to be.
Everything exceeded his expectations.
His grandfather once told him there are some people destined to be unprovoked.
Boom!
Endless Divine Light burst within Star Concealing Sky, like darkness meeting light, completely dispelled.
The Si Family escaped a disaster, though severely damaged.
However, the clan’s foundation remained, and there was hope for revival, provided the Lan Family didn’t eradicate them.
