"Leave no one alive?" Ancestor Qi Yu stepped forward, like a demon descending from the heavens.
Old Ancestor Yan Yun was clearly enraged, his face red and his neck thick as he said, "Yes, leave none of them alive. They're all no good anyway, a bunch of clueless idiots. Just kill them."
Fang Ruotang stood on the sword, listening to their conversation, and asked Xiao Jingzi in astonishment.
Not a single good one? Kill them all?
[Go ahead and kill them. It's not like you have to lift a finger, so why are you so concerned?]
Ah, oh!
Fang Ruotang stared blankly at the pile of people lying below.
Qi Yu raised his hand, and the people below cried out.
"Grandmaster, you actually led people to harm your disciples. You will be punished."
"You are not worthy of being called our grandmaster."
"Grandmaster, it's not too late for you to turn back now, otherwise your actions will be despised by the world."
"That's right! You are not worthy to be our grandmaster, so we will expel you from the sect."
...
A cacophony of voices erupted in condemnation.
Fang Ruotang turned her head in surprise to look at Ancestor Yan Yun. No wonder he looked so angry; he was practically defying the heavens.
The sect he founded is now being expelled by the very people he took in.
This is like in the mortal world, he opened a shop, hired a group of waiters, and in the end, those waiters joined forces to drive the owner out.
Frog Fun!
Fang Ruotang had also opened her eyes to the truth; this was the first time she had ever seen something like this.
To be honest, she was rather naive; such a shameless group of people was a rare sight, but she had seen it today.
"Shut up!"
Enraged, Ancestor Yan Yun unleashed the destructive power of a Mahayana cultivator as he charged towards the group on the ground.
Apart from the few people sitting at the very front who used their magical artifacts to block the attack of Ancestor Yan Yun and were not harmed, the group behind them staggered and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Some people didn't even get a proper seat before being knocked away and crashed to the ground, motionless as if they were dead.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
Old Ancestor Qi Yu, always eager for excitement, smacked his lips and made strange noises before speaking in a mocking tone.
"It seems that my worthless disciples still gave me face; at least they thought of me a little."
Ancestor Qi Yu completely forgot about Jiang Wangzhou and the others' actions of acting first and reporting later. He only remembered that they were also concerned about him and wanted him to successfully break through to the Mahayana stage.
As for the rest, well, that's not important.
Anyway, no one dared to say they would expel him from the sect.
"Don't add fuel to the fire." Fang Ruotang rolled her eyes at Old Ancestor Qi Yu. This person was clearly enjoying the drama.
Ancestor Yan Yun felt extremely embarrassed. After all, he wasn't the only Supreme Elder in the Tianyi Sect. That was bad enough, but he had actually made a fool of himself in front of them.
He certainly couldn't blame himself; he could only blame the group of people lying on the ground.
It was clear that Ancestor Yan Yun was about to destroy the world with a single move.
Little Mirror cried out in alarm.
"My lord, spiritual root, spiritual root!"
Ah, yes!
Fang Ruotang spoke up to stop her, "Wait."
Ancestor Yan Yun froze, his expression turning grim as he said, "If the Sect Master is unwilling to do this, you may step aside and wait for me to resolve the matter here."
"No, what I meant was, don't kill too thoroughly. Extract the spiritual root; I still have a use for it!"
[And the golden cores, they were all dissected. In case any disciples of the sect go out for training and their golden cores crack or shatter, they can be replaced with new ones.]
The little mirror added another reminder.
Fang Ruotang recounted.
After saying that, he paused for a moment.
It's a bit scary; they seem like evil practitioners.
The group of people lying on the ground looked like slaughtered pigs, cattle, and sheep, and they were discussing which piece of meat was better and which they wanted to keep for themselves.
"You bunch of evil demons and heretics, Heaven will not let you go, you will die a horrible death!"
The crowd below was filled with fervor.
Fang Ruotang felt a little embarrassed by the scolding. It was her first time participating in such a large-scale killing, and to be honest, she felt uneasy and somewhat fearful.
She wasn't present when the Tiangang Sect was attacked last time, and she didn't witness the bloody process. When she arrived afterward, although there were many severed limbs, she hadn't participated in the killing.
But this time was different, because she knew in her heart that she could stop this killing with a single word, so she felt a deep sense of involvement.
"Now you know how to use the laws of heaven to your advantage. When you used evil magic to extract our spiritual roots, why didn't you say such things? You deserve your current fate."
Yunni, who had been hiding in the back, couldn't help but rush out to vent her frustration.
Fang Ruotang and the others ignored her and left, which was an outcome she did not want to see.
But she didn't want Fang Ruotang and the others to kill everyone in front of her. After all, there were some grudges she wanted to avenge herself, otherwise she wouldn't be able to vent the resentment in her heart.
"It's Senior Sister..."
"How could it be Senior Sister? Has Senior Sister betrayed the sect?"
"What senior sister? She was no longer a disciple of our Cloud Sword Sect when she absorbed her junior brother's cultivation and colluded with outsiders to kill our master."
"But Senior Sister..."
A disciple whispered a rebuttal, and she looked anxiously at the clouds high in the sky.
Although the upper echelons of the Cloud Sword Sect are corrupt, most of the middle and lower echelons are actually unaware of these matters and have no right to participate in them.
Now that things have come to this point, they don't even know why. They've all been following the orders of their masters and grandmasters, like mindless ants.
"Sect Master Fang, I was once a disciple of the Cloud Sword Sect and know the situation inside the sect. Most of the ordinary disciples in the sect were not actually involved. Could you spare their lives?"
"Can!"
Fang Ruotang agreed as soon as Yun Ni suggested it.
She thought she would have to use her words and say all the nice things, but to her surprise, the other party agreed easily and said, "Then you tell them that those who don't want to die should stand aside."
Fang Ruotang now has a general understanding of the sects in the Cloud Deep Continent.
Some disciples in the sect, let alone knowing the sect's core secrets, can't even see the inner disciples, let alone the sect elders.
Therefore, it would indeed be unfair for these people to live and die with the sect, and Fang Ruotang did not want to cause so much bloodshed.
In her opinion, it would be best to just eliminate those evil cultivators; as for the others, if they didn't want to join the Tianyi Sect, they could leave. There was no need for bloodshed.
Ancestor Yan Yun didn't say anything or object to Fang Ruotang's decision, and directly gave up his position.
Yun Ni stepped forward and waved her hand, displaying the evidence she had collected over the past few days. The recording stone clearly showed that the sect elders had harmed their disciples and plundered their spiritual roots.
Not only that, but the elders also seized any opportunities that the disciples had taken a liking to without hesitation.
"My God! No wonder the mortality rate of my senior brothers and sisters is so high. They all died at the hands of their own master. This is terrifying!"
