The members of the Chi family were filled with grief and indignation. Most of them hated their own incompetence, some hated the demon in front of them who was radiating divine light but whose figure could not be seen, and some hated their ancestor whom they had hardly ever met.
This reveals the full spectrum of human nature.
Only the eldest elder of the Chi family seemed to have seen through life and death.
The Chi family's current prosperity is all thanks to the efforts of their two ancestors.
The current disaster that has befallen the Chi family is all the work of their two ancestors.
He enjoys the blessings brought by his ancestors, and therefore should bear the consequences brought by them.
He had a profound realization: if there were an afterlife, he hoped to be reborn into a good family.
Perhaps he wanted to live a peaceful and safe life.
However, today everything has come to an end.
He understood that the Chi family patriarch's shameless act of eliminating three geniuses must have been under the orders of a true immortal; they were nothing more than pawns in the game.
When true immortals clash, all living beings in the world are merely pawns, and the power they wield is dependent on those pawns.
Now that the pieces are broken, naturally, the momentum will also dissipate.
He saw his people begin to sob and beg for mercy in low voices.
He thought of his wife and children, whom he had just fled from not far from home.
He wanted to die standing up.
The eldest elder of the Chi family roared and stood up despite the oppressive aura.
The whimpering and pleas for mercy from the surrounding Chi family members instantly ceased, and now there was only silence.
Tell me! On what grounds?!
He was old and frail, but now he seemed a few years younger, roaring out his discontent.
"Why should our entire clan be wiped out when it was clearly their mistake!"
"Why! Is it just because you're strong?"
"Why! Tell us, where did we go wrong?!"
With the First Elder's roars, the rest of the Chi family members were also filled with rage, and many of them even sacrificed their lives just to stand up and look directly at Haotian.
In an instant, their momentum was restored.
The three people, including Diefang, who were next to Haotian, were also so frightened that they took a step back.
Diefang looked at Haotian now, and saw nothing but ruthlessness... She truly saw ruthlessness in him.
The three of them didn't say anything.
Haotian didn't say anything either.
That spirit sword came before Haotian, tracing its bloodline...
The next moment, the entire venue fell silent.
Every member of the Chi family, every person with Chi family blood, had a spirit sword appear around their neck.
The power of the spirit sword seemed capable of splitting the heavens with a single strike.
The biting cold pierced the necks of every member of the Chi family.
But this action seemed to be telling everyone in the Chi family.
Their mistake was... their own weakness.
Even the eldest elder of the Chi family said with a sorrowful expression, "Is it our fault that we are weak... The strong prey on the weak, heh."
The next moment, a flash of sword light appeared.
All members of the Chi family, whether far away or right before Haotian's eyes, regardless of age or gender, were decapitated at this moment.
Night-Staying Drunkard, standing to the side, opened his eyes wide.
They were astonished by the ruthlessness of the true immortals.
Even Diefang and the other two closed their eyes, trying their best not to see such a tragic scene.
The once-famous Chi family has become history.
Only when Haotian had ended their lives.
With a heavy heart, he said, "The mistake was that you were all born into the wrong family."
No one is perfect, so the only solution is to nip it in the bud. Although he is not afraid of assassination by a group of ants, he will eventually sow the seeds of hatred in their hearts. Rather than letting them live with hatred, it is better for them to be reincarnated.
Just like Xiao Hei back then, Haotian now looked at Diefang and the other two as if he saw himself back then.
Back then, Xiao Hei wiped out an entire clan in a fit of rage. It wasn't a mindless outburst of anger, but rather a genuine hatred and fury that drove him to do it.
He's the same now.
He also believed that Diefang and the other two, who might feel heartless and cruel now, would understand this truth in the future.
This is... the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation.
He would shelter them from the wind and rain before they were fully grown.
The Chi family was instantly plunged into a bloodbath, and the headless corpses seemed to be telling the world a cruel truth.
Haotian sensed that someone from the Chi family had escaped his bloodline's pursuit.
His eyes, piercing through the void, seemed to gaze into the distance like an abyss.
Tiger...
Is it something that was expected or something that was not unexpected?
The two patriarchs of the Chi family were originally his confidants, and now he is also getting involved.
A voice reached Haotian's ears.
"Leave a seed for the Chi family; this is the last thing they asked of me."
Haotian sneered.
With eyes that seemed to see through the void, a muscular man stood blocking the way for two children in a grand hall.
The next moment, an even more terrifying Dao came from the void, and the man immediately threw a punch to block it.
Although he managed to hold off the attack, the two children behind him were reduced to a bloody mist.
The man looked distressed.
Haotian's icy voice reached his ears: "Cause and effect are cyclical. Remember, your present cause will eventually lead to your future effect."
It was him... He subtly hinted that the two patriarchs of the Chi family should eliminate Diefang and the other two, because their talents frightened him.
He was the cause that prompted the Chi family patriarch to assassinate the three, and the consequence of that will come when the three grow up...
What Haotian can do is leave this useless thing to them in the future.
