Those maids used to compete for the second young master's favor every day. On the surface, they were all friendly, but in reality, they were fighting tooth and nail to outdo each other.
When the head of the family agreed to let them come today, they were overjoyed, thinking that the head of the family had approved of them. They thought that they must perform well on the way, and even if they could not become the second young master's wife, becoming a concubine would be something to aspire to.
Who knew that coming here so happily would lead to such a tragic end?
Watching his maids perish before his eyes, Wang Neishi's face turned pale. His first reaction was anger, but when he realized that it was his father who had done it, how could he dare to vent his anger on his father?
"What are you doing?" Xie Daoyun asked, both shocked and angry, without caring about anything else.
Wang Youjun acted too quickly, so quickly that no one had time to react.
Wang Neishi couldn't help but admire her secretly; this young girl looked so gentle and weak, yet she was so fierce at heart.
Wang Youjun, however, did not take it seriously: "Of course it's to break this lightning formation. Look, isn't the thunderstorm much smaller now?"
Xie Daoyun certainly noticed that the thunderstorm had subsided, but was that the point? "But they are all living, breathing people!"
Wang Youjun remained calm: "If it weren't for our Wang family, they would have died long ago. They've lived so many more years and are still living a life of luxury. In a way, they've gained something. What's a little help to this old man?"
Xie Daoyun was so angry that she trembled all over. Yun Jianyue quietly took her hand to comfort her. As the leader of the Demonic Sect, she was naturally used to such things.
Wang Youjun ignored her and went to the outer edge of the stone forest. After observing the extent of the remaining thunderstorm, he suddenly made another move. A large hand appeared in the void and grabbed dozens of his subordinates with the lowest cultivation levels, throwing them in.
Those people screamed and tried to resist, but they were no match for Wang Youjun and were quickly thrown into the center of the stone forest.
Sparks and lightning flashed, and the flesh and blood of those people melted away instantly.
Everyone outside felt a chill run down their spines. These thunderstorms were simply terrifying. Even Yun Jianyue's expression changed. Compared to the thunder-type cultivators she knew, even Xuan Bajing, a grandmaster, was far less powerful in his thunder-type skills.
When the remaining members of the Wang family saw this, they finally understood why the patriarch had brought so many people on this trip. It turned out that they were not there to do any work, but to be cannon fodder. They were no longer willing to stay here and desperately ran back to the large ship they had come from.
Wang Youjun sneered: "I was a little hesitant at first, but since you've made your own choice, you can't blame me."
He manipulated a talisman, and soon a pair of large hands reached out from the void again, grabbing all those people and throwing them directly into the deeper part of the stone forest.
Although those people were all carefully selected experts, they all used their strongest skills to try to defend themselves, but unfortunately, countless arcs of lightning struck out, and everything turned to ashes.
Looking at the still steaming wreckage inside, Wang Youjun nodded in satisfaction: "It's almost done. Although there are still some lightning effects on the remaining parts, with our cultivation levels, we can withstand them."
Besides his son, Wang Neishi, he was accompanied by four elderly men, all of whom were senior members of the Wang family, of the same generation, and whose strength was not much different from his.
They remained calm throughout the events unfolding before them, suggesting they likely knew from the beginning that this would happen.
Xie Daoyun felt a chill run through her body: "You are a bunch of demons in human skin!"
She recalled how the people of Wangjiawu had proudly said that under the protection of the Wang family, the surrounding area was blessed with good weather and no demons dared to approach. At the time, she had admired them greatly and thought that the head of the Wang family was a great benefactor.
Looking back now, it was all a lie!
She took Yun Jianyue's hand and said, "Sister Yun, let's go!"
She no longer wanted to be with these devils, nor did she want to help them.
"Leave? Do you think you can leave?" As soon as Wang Youjun finished speaking, the four elders of the Wang family had already subtly surrounded the two women in the center.
Under these circumstances, he naturally couldn't let anyone leave, especially since Xie Daoyun's expertise in formations might still be useful later.
"What, you want to stop me?" Yun Jianyue raised an eyebrow, a cruel smile appearing on her lips.
Wang Youjun said calmly, "I know your cultivation is very high. In a one-on-one fight, I might not be able to defeat you, but if the few of us join forces, you have no chance."
"That's not necessarily true." Yun Jianyue snorted coldly. Although what the other party said was true, as the leader of the Demonic Sect who had fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, how could he easily accept his fate?
"Anyway, you can't leave on that flying boat without me," Wang Youjun said coldly. "Besides, you need me to help you find friends. You'd better come with us obediently. You're different from those ordinary consumables. You've proven your abilities. As long as you serve the Wang family, you'll naturally enjoy endless wealth and glory."
Yun Jianyue smiled and said, "That's right, you do have a lot of advantages, but you have one weakness."
"What?" Wang Youjun frowned.
“You don’t have enough time,” Yun Jianyue sneered. “When you were talking to me just now, you couldn’t help but glance toward the stone forest several times. Obviously, you used so many lives to temporarily release the accumulated thunderstorms in this stone forest, but after a while, those thunderstorms will return.”
“If you really fight me, even if I can’t win, I can definitely hold out until the thunderstorm recovers. By then, you won’t have as many people to sacrifice as before.”
Wang Youjun's expression changed, and he couldn't help but give her a deep look: "Young lady, you are indeed extraordinary, with such keen insight. Very well, you wait for us here. After we come out, we will take you back to the mainland, and we will also keep our promise to you."
