"Ah!!! No!!!"
Within the Yu Family residence, wails rose incessantly.
A figure in starry robes held a demonic blade, mercilessly reaping lives. The two remaining Divine Marquis experts had long been captured by Mi Yong and Die Ying.
A thick, bloody scent slowly spread.
At this moment, the faces of all the Yu Family members wore looks of utter despair.
Why?!
They simply couldn't understand why this Ling Clan heir, having killed their young master and injured their ancestor, now sought to slaughter their entire Yu Family.
And!
What was with the demonic aura on him?
Why did a mere Breakthrough Realm cultivator possess such a heart-palpitating,terrifying demonic might?
"No… Save us!"
"De…Demon!!!"
But facing the despair of the Yu Family, Ling Xiao paid no heed. The demonic blade in his hand was stained red with blood over and over, only for the blood to vanish completely in an instant. At the same time, a frightening, ancient demonic intent seemed to be slowly awakening, to the extent that Ling Xiao's eyes gradually turned a shade of blood red.
"Demon! You are a demon! You will pay for this!!"
Only when the last Yu Family member died under Ling Xiao's demonic blade did the young man's figure finally still.
"Huu."
He let out a deep breath, looking at the demonic blade in his hand, his eyes now carrying a trace of solemnity.
This Primordial Malevolent Blade was indeed a rare, peerless treasure. But with his current cultivation, it seemed he still couldn't fully control it.
As for the curses of the Yu Family members before their deaths?
Heh.
I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me.
"Master, these two Divine Marquises…" Die Ying had long shed her disguise, standing quietly in the main hall. Before her, two elderly Yu Family experts glared with furious, bloodshot eyes, their gazes filled with terror as they watched the white-robed youth approaching slowly.
They never dreamed that one day the Yu Family would be slaughtered by a single youth. Centuries of foundation and heritage, destroyed in one night!
"Leave them to me." Ling Xiao grinned, his demonic blade slashing down once more, directly devouring the aura of the Divine Marquis expert entirely. As for the souls… of course, they nourished the Soul Palace.
"Let's go. Time to meet that Yu Family Ancestor." Ling Xiao turned his head, glanced at the empty hall behind him, and without further hesitation, strode towards the rear hall.
With Die Ying's mastery of illusion techniques, even a Divine Emperor expert would likely find it difficult to detect the changes here in a short time. And as long as he was thorough, presumably no one would notice the Yu Family's destruction was his doing.
---
Rear Hall of the Yu Family.
Yu Baitang sat coldly within the hall, spiritual light shimmering around him, but his aura was somewhat listless. Ling Xiao's blade might not have killed him, but the severe soul injury had similarly caused his cultivation to fall.
"That Ling Clan heir is truly terrifying. With two Dao Principles at his side, probably in the entire younger generation of the Sacred Dynasty… only those in the Central Sacred Land could compare." Yu Baitang sighed softly. But just as he was about to close his eyes and cultivate, the hall doors before him burst open with a crash.
Yu Yangzi's figure suddenly rushed in, his face seemingly etched with anxiety.
"Ancestor!! Ancestor!!"
"Huh? What is it? Why the panic?" Yu Baitang initially felt angry, but a sense of unease suddenly stirred in his heart.
"Ling… That Ling Clan heir has come to kill us!!" Yu Yangzi gritted his teeth, his eyes dull and gray.
"What?! Damn it!! Is Ling Xiao planning to wipe us out completely?!" Yu Baitang slumped onto the floor, his aged face ashen. He had considered that the Ling Clan heir might seek revenge against the Yu Family. But he never imagined he would be so brutal as to come directly to Canghai City.
"Where is he?" Yu Baitang hesitated for a long time before finally walking towards Yu Yangzi. Since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well see what this Ling Clan heir could do to him. At worst, he could flee and save his own skin. As for the family bloodline… as long as he didn't die, he could always create a new clan eventually!
"He's in the main hall." Yu Yangzi glanced back in the direction of the main hall. And just then, Ling Xiao's figure happened to step forward slowly, appearing before the two of them.
"Ling Xiao!!" Yu Baitang's expression hardened, his hands clenching sharply. "Young Master, why must you be so aggressive? Didn't Yuntian already die by your hand?"
"Heh. Yu Yuntian insulted my clan brother; his death was insufficient to atone for his crime. As for the Yu Family… Ancestor, since you are injured, why struggle? Go to the cycle of reanimation early; perhaps in your next life, you can be reborn into a better fate?" Ling Xiao smiled brightly, as if he didn't place this Divine King expert in his eyes at all.
"Hmph, judging by Young Master Ling Xiao's tone, you are determined to kill this old man today?" Yu Baitang frowned, his eyes warily scanning the space behind Ling Xiao. Only after confirming there were only the three of them did he feel slightly relieved.
To kill, or not to kill?
Killing this Ling Clan heir would surely provoke the Ling Clan to use their full strength to hunt him down.But not killing him… judging by this kid's attitude, it seemed he had no intention of letting him go. The methods of a Ling Clan heir were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Who knew if this guy had trump cards like a Divine Emperor soul imprint or an Emperor-level strike?
"Hmph! Young Master Ling Xiao, I cannot afford to provoke the Ling Clan, but… if I want to leave, who can stop me?!" Yu Baitang gave a grim laugh, his figure flashing as he instantly shot towards the sky.
Clang!
But at that moment, he distinctly felt a sharp pain on the top of his head. His whole body, dizzy and vision blurred from the impact, fell back into the hall.
"This… this is…" Yu Baitang looked up, his gaze terrified as he watched a dark green ancient cauldron gradually materialize in the air above. His eyes hardened fiercely.
"A Dao Artifact!! A Top Grade Dao Artifact!!"
In the Sacred Dynasty, Dao Artifacts were already among the top-tier spiritual treasures. As for Heaven-Surpassing Treasures, probably only the most top-tier Divine Emperor experts possessed a few. But he never expected this Ling Clan heir to have a Dao Artifact capable of imprisoning space!
"Ling Xiao!! You leave me no choice!!" Seeing his escape route blocked, Yu Baitang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. The Ling Clan was terrifying, but being slaughtered for no reason was clearly even more humiliating. Especially by a Breakthrough Realm ant…
"Ancestor… Ancestor, wait!!" Beside him, Yu Yangzi suddenly reached out, grabbing Yu Baitang's arm, his expression seeming hesitant.
"You! Spineless! If we don't kill him today, our Yu Family will surely be annihilated!!" Yu Baitang shot Yu Yangzi a look of utter disappointment. But at that moment, the latter suddenly shook his head. "Ancestor! The Yu Family… is already annihilated!"
"Wh… What?" Yu Baitang's face froze. Before he could react, Die Ying thrust out with her demonic dagger, instantly aiming for his throat.
Even with Yu Baitang's mental fortitude, he still found this utterly unbelievable. He simply couldn't understand how Yu Yangzi could betray the Yu Family?
Heh. As expected, people are all afraid of death and crave glory.
"Yangzi! How dare you!!" Yu Baitang, was an old monster who had lived for centuries; his reaction in crisis was terrifying. But just as his figure flashed, attempting to dodge to the side, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from above his head.
