The Han family has always been arrogant; this arrogance is ingrained in their bones. Even when facing the head of the Shangguan family, the most prestigious family, they can't help but reveal it.
The Shangguan family's timidity is ingrained in their bones, but timidity alone cannot allow the Shangguan family to maintain its status as the number one family for so many years; they still retain their due arrogance.
The Han family elder's face was extremely ugly at this moment, but he still did not admit his mistake. Instead, he said, "Patriarch Shangguan, you are exaggerating. Our families are originally one. The Shangguan family should know that our Han family has no excessive intentions. For Patriarch Shangguan to say that this is the Shangguan family's territory is really going too far."
"Moreover, this thing is clearly a demonic creature. Could it be that the Shangguan family has some connection with demonic creatures?"
His words prompted many people to reflect, and everyone looked at the head of the Shangguan family with a questioning gaze.
The head of the Shangguan family was about to speak when a blue spiritual energy flashed past and struck the Han family's eldest elder in the chest.
The Han family's eldest elder didn't even have time to utter a sound before he was instantly reduced to ashes.
The scene was completely silent.
All the powerful families and sects turned their attention to the person who had made the move.
Shangguan Liuyue.
Shangguan Liuyue's face was ashen, and her voice was filled with disgust.
"After all these years, the Han family still behaves in such a disgusting way, using their mouths to confuse the public and offend people's minds. Listening to the Han family speak such vile and foul language is truly unlucky!"
The second elder of the Han family was furious and said to Helian Tengyun, "Patriarch Helian, have you forgotten Xiaoshan You's responsibilities? Are you just going to watch the Shangguan family humiliate our Han family like this?"
Helian Tengyun lowered his eyes as if he was thinking about something. Upon hearing this, he raised his head slightly and looked at the Second Elder of the Han family.
Then he raised his hand and gently curled his fingers. The Second Elder only felt a gust of wind blow past him, and then he saw someone being grabbed by Helian Tengyun.
Helian Tengyun looked at the person in his hand and said calmly, "Bai Changxue... a member of the Bai family."
The Second Elder of the Han family's expression changed drastically.
Those present immediately realized what was happening.
The Helian family has an ancestral rule: if you see a member of the Bai family, kill them without exception.
The second elder of the Han family felt his heart turn cold.
Helian Tengyun chuckled and said, "Actually, the ancestral precepts of the Helian family have been passed down to this day, but we still don't understand what kind of grudges made the Helian family treat the Bai family this way."
"Having had the privilege of hearing the story of Ancestor Shangguan, I seem to have suddenly gained a clear understanding. This vast underground 'Fengling Town' is the cemetery of my Helian family ancestors. Whether it is related to the Bai family at this time is self-evident."
He fixed his gaze on Bai Changxue's face: "Now that you're here, I think there's no need to guess anymore. I'll find out what secrets the Bai family is hiding, but you must die."
After saying that, Bai Changxue turned to ashes in his hand.
In an instant, two Nascent Soul stage experts had died.
It's easy to imagine how powerful the person who made the move must be.
The head of the Helian family clapped his hands and looked indifferently at the second elder of the Han family: "Second elder, is there anything else?"
The Second Elder's previously stubborn mind instantly cleared.
He actually foolishly wanted Helian Tengyun to speak for the Han family?!
Where did Helian Tengyun get his power over Xiaoshan You?!
It's in the Hundred Flowers Forest!
Who is that half-step deity in the Hundred Flowers Forest?
The Second Elder's face darkened.
At this moment, the second elder of the Han family realized that, without realizing it, the Han family had lost its advantage.
The Shangguan family residence is located in the Hundred Flowers Forest, a secluded hillside...
These three mountains are connected by a story.
To make matters worse, there was also a living ancestor, Shangguan Liuyue.
The quiet cave was filled with onlookers.
Meng Wanwan seemed to sense something and looked at the banyan tree.
The current situation...
“Niannian, Zhuting…or rather, Zhuhaishan, do you think they foresaw this situation hundreds of years ago?”
Niannian whispered, "Master... they should be able to see it."
"However, this situation would not have occurred if the so-called war between gods and demons had not wiped out all the powerful beings of that time."
So, what price did they pay back then?
The once tranquil banyan tree suddenly trembled and charged wildly toward the direction where the Han family was located.
The second elder of the Han family roared, and the Han family members lined up in formation.
"It's nothing but a fabricated story, yet it has caused the Helian family, who pride themselves on upholding justice, to abandon the righteous path, and the Shangguan family to collude with them. This is a disgrace to the cultivators of the Nine Realms. Gentlemen, are you going to watch such a demon run rampant in our Nine Realms?"
"The tragic scene of the last war between gods and demons is still vivid in our minds. How many powerful beings have perished? Even today, the cultivation world of our Nine Realms is still so decadent. If the demon race is allowed to make a comeback, will our Nine Realms still be the Nine Realms of our human race?"
The Second Elder of the Han family's words were a wake-up call, suddenly bringing the onlookers, the wandering cultivators, to their senses.
A sense of crisis arose spontaneously.
Meng Wanwan knew something was wrong and immediately flew forward, with Yun Zhao, Helian Xiao, and the others following closely behind.
Shangguan Liuyue sneered and took a step forward. A magic array emerged from beneath people's feet, enveloping the entire space.
"We may fight, but this place cannot be destroyed."
After he finished speaking, a powerful aura descended from the sky.
Many rogue cultivators collapsed to the ground the moment the oppressive aura descended.
The disparity in strength was so great that it left them speechless.
"I knew it would be like this." The second elder of the Han family laughed loudly, and everyone saw the Han family disciple take out a yellow talisman from his pocket and stick it on his body.
Tiny chains extended from the yellow talisman to another person's yellow talisman, and then extended again, linking to other yellow talismans.
The intertwining of these elements created a dense, yellow net that spread across the ground within this space.
Then the net seemed to drift away like pure air, covering the green array pattern.
The oppressive aura vanished instantly.
Meng Wanwan was shocked: "What kind of formation is this?"
Shangguan Liuyue felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly by something, and her spiritual power was also locked away.
The anger in his eyes had become tangible.
"It's you...it's you..."
The second elder of the Han family gave a cold smile: "Since you all are so ungrateful, then don't blame the Han family for being ruthless. Kill!"
Meng Wanwan and Meng Xiuyi helped Shangguan Liuyue up, with Meng Wanwan forming a protective hand seal.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Shangguan Liuyue gritted her teeth in pain: "This formation... it shares the same origin as the thing that caused me to lose my memories, the Han family..."
Meng Wanwan understood instantly.
"Congying, take him back."
Congying was now trembling with fear. After that formation appeared, her head felt like it was being pricked by needles, and her previously loose memories became chaotic.
Upon hearing Meng Wanwan's words, he grabbed Shangguan Liuyue and went back.
When the head of the Shangguan family saw Shangguan Liuyue disappear from the spot, he immediately felt a little relieved.
Now, the Shangguan family has been led astray by him.
There was no turning back now, so he decided to go all in.
After being an unworthy descendant for hundreds of years, the head of the Shangguan family also wanted to get to the bottom of those long-forgotten matters.
"Disciples of the Shangguan family, heed my command! We swear to protect our ancestral land to the death!"
"yes!"
His Shangguan family is the most prestigious family!
