Subsequently, a bloody massacre took place within the cemetery.
Of the Ling family's descendants, only seventy-six remain in the world.
When the restrictions on the Ling family members, who had been oppressed and killed for countless years, were broken, their overwhelming hatred turned into extremely bloody methods.
Especially the middle-aged man who was blasted away by Yi Jiu.
The boy named Ling Sheng first chopped off the man's hands and feet and gouged out his eyes. Then, amidst the middle-aged man's endless wails, he chopped him to pieces piece by piece.
During this process, Xiao Jiu did not intervene again.
Because the strongest guard in charge of protecting the manor had already been killed by him and Qing Mijue when they first arrived.
The remaining trash was left for the Ling family to vent their frustrations on.
Throughout this process, he also kept observing.
Observe what changes will occur after the Ling family members break the restrictions within their bodies.
Then he realized something.
The Ling family consists of seventy-six people, each of whom is exceptionally talented.
Even Lingxi, who was deemed by the middle-aged man to have no awakened soul and was to be sold to Wanle Tower, was the same.
The seemingly gentle and delicate young girl was decisive and ruthless when it came to killing, without the slightest hesitation.
Then it was time for Xiao Jiu to perform.
The Ling family members, deemed sinful by the temple elder and Heavenly Dao City Lord Chu Daoran and imprisoned in the Spirit Garden in the north of the city, entered Heavenly Dao City.
Then, led by a man with a strange rune between his eyebrows, they headed straight for the Heavenly Dao City Lord's Mansion.
This was once the ancestral home of the Ling family.
But now it's decorated with a large "Chu" character.
Looking at the character "Chu" on the gate, Xiao Jiu's lips curled slightly.
With a wave of his hand, the huge plaque exploded.
He then led the Ling family members into the Ling family ancestral home, a place that existed only in their memories.
Everything inside the ancestral home excited them immensely.
Because this place once represented the supreme glory of the spiritual family.
Just as Xiao Jiu led the Ling family members into the Ling family ancestral home, a powerful aura of a Dao Realm cultivator instantly enveloped them.
Upon the release of such a powerful aura, the Ling family members immediately felt difficulty breathing, and their meridians, which had just broken free of the restrictions, began to stagnate once again.
"Who dares to trespass on Your Excellency's residence?"
The moment the Dao-attaining cultivator guarding this place appeared, his brows furrowed deeply.
"The Ling family?"
“The magistrate allowed you to live, but instead of repenting and working in the cemetery, you dared to leave without permission and even dared to appear here. You have truly brought this upon yourselves.”
After saying that, he waved his palm and was about to suppress the Lin family members on the spot.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiu was displeased.
Are you blind, or a complete idiot?
Didn't you see that I was the one leading the group?
I!
I was the one standing in front of the Ling family crowd, and I was also the one who smashed the plaque on the door!
It was I who brought the Ling family out of the mortuary.
I am the one emanating a powerful aura.
It's me, it's me, it's still me!
And yet, you come out here without even glancing at me, heading straight for the Ling family behind me.
Ninth Master, I'm furious!
You idiot! I was planning to throw out some passionate words to set the mood before I beat you up, and also to make the Ling family even more grateful to me.
But now I've changed my mind, I'm going to just smash you to pieces.
After a muffled thud.
The Dao Realm cultivator, who possessed an incomparably powerful aura and was about to suppress the Ling family upon his appearance, was shattered.
It shattered into pieces, not a single fragment remained, because Ninth Master was enraged.
Then, under the incredulous gazes of the Ling family, Huang Jiu began a one-sided massacre.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Jiu looked at the broken pieces all over the ground and waved his sleeves with satisfaction.
He then turned to look at the only survivor, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator with a terrified expression.
"Damn it, they're a bunch of bastards who deserve to be beaten to a pulp. Now they've noticed I'm here?"
But then the sight of that little piece of trash lying on the ground, constantly kowtowing, made Xiao Jiu lose interest in showing off.
"Go."
“Go tell that son of a bitch Chu Daoran that I’m waiting for him at the Ling family’s place in Tiandao City. Tell him to wash his neck clean before he comes over.”
"I've recently developed a germaphobia; I won't kill dirty bastards."
...
Subsequently, the Heavenly Dao City underwent a dramatic change.
Within Tiandao City, Wanle Tower, which belonged to Chu Daoran, was massacred.
The deaths of all those loyal to Chu Daoran within were extremely horrific.
Following them were some established forces within Heavenly Dao City.
These established powers all relied on the Ling family for their existence.
However, after the Ling family was seized by Chu Daoran, these established forces, who had benefited greatly from the Ling family, all switched their allegiance to Chu Daoran.
Compared to Chu Daoran, these people have done just as much dirty tricks on the Ling family.
The Ling family went mad; all those who participated in framing and betraying the Ling family were exterminated.
Whether they were elderly or infants, none were spared.
Hatred, especially hatred that has been suppressed for too long, can unleash tremendous power once it is released.
Xiao Jiu was not involved in these matters, nor did he want to be.
Even if these members of the Ling family were killed while seeking revenge, he would not choose to intervene.
Because there was no emotional connection or karmic ties between him and the Ling family; the only connection was that he had taken over the karma from Elder Ling.
Now that his descendants have been freed from oppression and confinement, this already fragile friendship has come to an end.
His killing of Chu Daoran had nothing to do with the Ling family members.
After dark, Tiandao City finally quieted down.
The Ling family members gradually calmed down from their irritable state and began to think about their future.
Among them, a man named Ling Zhong was the leader.
Because Lingzhong managed the Ling family members in the Ling Garden, he was spared the suffering of having his soul extracted.
And he is also the oldest among the descendants of the Ling family.
"Gentlemen, although we have now returned to our ancestral home and killed those ungrateful people."
"But my Ling family has been declining for too long and its strength is gone. If Chu Daoran returns, all of this will become a mirage."
Ling Zhong's words instantly extinguished the Ling family's enthusiasm due to their changed circumstances.
"Mr. Zhong, you are the eldest, what do you think we should do now?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhong stood up, stomped a couple of steps, and pointed towards the secret room where Xiao Jiu was.
"This person still helped the Ling family when they were in such dire straits, which shows that he is not only powerful, but also has a powerful background that is not afraid of Chu Daoran's identity."
"Most importantly, he said that he was very close to the Ancestor, which means that he had not only been to Tiandao City before, but had also received favors from my Ling family."
As he spoke, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
“My Ling family was incredibly powerful back then, and his current cultivation and status are all thanks to the kindness of my Ling family.”
"In that case, let him stay in the Ling family for fifty years. After fifty years, the Ling family should have recovered its strength. Let him take fifty years to protect the Ling family as his way of repaying the Ling family."
Upon hearing Ling Zhong's words, the girl named Ling Xi frowned deeply.
He then pulled Ling Sheng aside, who was about to step forward to argue.
They walked toward the secret room where Xi Jiu was.
