"Kill this little brat as well!"
Outside the main hall of the Yunfeng family, those elegantly dressed figures from the other five major families of Qiuhuo City said it casually.
Cut the grass and remove the roots!
Yunfeng Wuheng's eyes, filled with resentment, provoked them.
Yunfeng Wuheng was startled. The anger and hatred in his heart were immediately shattered by the unfavorable situation before him!
"According to the memories of this body, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, a world that follows the law of the jungle. There are no so-called laws here; all rules are based on strength! They can kill me with just a flick of their fingers!"
"How can I die? Just after crossing over to this world, am I to accept death?"
"No!"
"Wait!" Yunfeng Mo cried out in panic, "Ladies and gentlemen, my son Yunfeng Baisheng and my daughter-in-law Zhao Linlin have already committed suicide to atone for their sins. My grandson Yunfeng Wuheng is just a child. Why must you exterminate him completely?"
"Brother Yunfeng Mo, look at that little brat's eyes, how full of resentment and cruelty. Even when he looks at his own family, he has that look. To put it bluntly, if you let him live, he will be a source of trouble! In the future, if he finds an opportunity, won't he stir up trouble and destroy the foundation of the Yunfeng family?"
Beside him, a white-bearded, robust old man said in a condescending tone.
"Brother Yelv, your words are exaggerated! To be honest, Wuheng is just an ordinary child with average martial talent..." Yunfeng Mo defended himself vigorously. He had promised Yunfeng Baisheng's last request before his death to protect Yunfeng Wuheng's life. If Yunfeng Wuheng were to be killed today, Yunfeng Mo would feel guilty!
"No! Today, this child must die!" The old man named He narrowed his eyes, and a cold killing intent flowed from the narrow slits.
"Father, why must you go against everyone's wishes?" At this moment, a graceful, elegant middle-aged man in white slowly walked out from the Yunfeng family's side. "My fifth brother and sister-in-law are already dead. Wuheng, left in this world, will be alone and helpless. Why not send him down to reunite with them? Besides, Father, even if we want to protect Wuheng, we are powerless! If Wuheng doesn't die today, the six major families of Qiuhuo City will surely have conflicts, and it might even alarm the Aohan Sect. The cost is too high! The cost is too high!"
This man in white was Yunfeng Mo's eldest son, Yunfeng Chu. Yunfeng Chu was cunning and his Xuan Qi cultivation had reached the 7th level of the Later Heaven stage, on par with Yunfeng Mo, making him the second strongest in the Yunfeng family. His words carried some weight!
"Yes! Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
The people on the Yunfeng family's side began to stir.
Yunfeng Mo was in a dilemma, looking up at Yunfeng Wuheng and then at the group of people around him, full of killing intent. He sighed helplessly.
"Rubbish family! Today, if I want to live, I have to fight for it! This Yunfeng family is utterly unreliable!" Yunfeng Wuheng clearly understood that his situation was dire. He could no longer rely on anyone; he could only rely on himself.
"Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!" Suddenly, Yunfeng Wuheng burst into a loud laugh. There was no joy in this laughter, only ridicule and sarcasm!
"Hmm?"
The dozens of people in the hall were stunned, their eyes uniformly turning to Yunfeng Wuheng.
"Good! Good! Very good!" Yunfeng Wuheng stopped laughing and said loudly, "The six major families of Qiuhuo City are indeed old and prestigious families! How impressive! How mighty! Each of you has no weak Xuan Qi cultivation, right? Killing a ten-year-old child is like stepping on an ant! I should feel honored, right? After all, I am a powerless child, yet I am being killed by dozens of experts from the six major families of Qiuhuo City! In the future, the storytellers under the bridge in Qiuhuo City might turn today's events into a popular story... 'The six major families of Qiuhuo City attack the ten-year-old child Yunfeng Wuheng, mighty and awe-inspiring!' I wonder if you will blush at that?"
These words, spoken by Yunfeng Wuheng, were clear and forceful. The dozens of people surrounding him looked at each other, a hint of awkwardness in their eyes.
After all, the six major families of Qiuhuo City were nobles and still had to maintain some dignity.
The execution of Yunfeng Baisheng and Zhao Linlin was ordered by the head of the Aohan Sect, but the head of the Aohan Sect did not say to kill Yunfeng Wuheng as well.
Yunfeng Wuheng, unarmed and with no way out, had no choice but to speak these sarcastic words to try to save his life!
"Our Yunfeng family is also quite impressive. When people break in and kill men, women, and children, we don't dare to make a sound and instead become accomplices. Impressive, truly impressive." Yunfeng Wuheng looked at the "fellow clansmen" on the Yunfeng family's side with a mocking gaze.
"Old Lady He, it's just a child talking nonsense. Ignore him and kill him yourself!" The old man surnamed Yelv urged Old Lady He.
"Still, it's better if Brother Yelv does it." Old Lady He replied. After a pause, she turned to the old man with a ruddy complexion. "Brother Chen, why don't you do it?"
"Uh... This... It might be better to have a junior disciple do it." The old man surnamed Chen smiled awkwardly. He was already seventy years old, and now, thinking about it, it would indeed be ironic for him to personally kill a ten-year-old child!
At this moment...
"Ha ha! What a sharp-tongued little brat! Ha ha! Interesting, very interesting!"
Suddenly, a proud voice seemed to come from all directions! Accompanied by a subtle pressure, it seeped into the main hall of the Yunfeng family!
"It... It's a cultivator who has reached the 10th level of the Later Heaven stage, the Great Perfection realm..."
The patriarchs of the families in the main hall drew in a sharp breath.
Then, a cold breeze rushed in from the main entrance of the hall, quickly turning the air into layers of frost, making the originally warm hall feel like winter!
"The elders of the Aohan Sect have arrived! The elders of the Aohan Sect have arrived!"
"Interesting! Very interesting!" Light footsteps sounded, and a young man in white, with a proud expression, stepped into the hall.
His pace was not fast, and from the main entrance to where Yunfeng Wuheng stood, it was about twenty meters, but it seemed he only took a few steps to be three meters in front of Yunfeng Wuheng!
Yunfeng Wuheng felt the air around him tighten!
Making him feel slightly suffocated!
"Very strong! Much stronger than everyone here! He is... from the Aohan Sect..." Yunfeng Wuheng realized.
"Pay respects to the envoy of the Aohan Sect!" The hall immediately echoed with a chorus of respectful voices.
The people of the Yelv family looked pleased.
The reason was simple: this envoy of the Aohan Sect who had suddenly arrived was none other than the talented youth, Yelv Hong, whom the Aohan Sect had selected from the Yelv family five years ago.
The Aohan Sect selected a large number of talented and well-endowed young people from the various cities and families under its jurisdiction every five years!
The people of the Yelv family looked at Yelv Hong with a mix of emotions. When Yelv Hong left the family, he was just a talented youth at the 5th level of the Later Heaven stage. In just five years, he had reached the 10th level of the Later Heaven stage, the Great Perfection realm, just one step away from the Xiantian realm!
"Ha ha, Hong, I didn't expect your cultivation to have advanced so much. Truly commendable, a pride of our Yelv family!" The patriarch of the Yelv family, Yelv Zhen, stroked his beard and smiled, looking around at the other family patriarchs, his face glowing with pride.
Yelv Hong was the son of Yelv Zhen's younger brother, making him Yelv Zhen's nephew.
However...
"Let's skip the pleasantries. Today, I am here on the orders of the sect leader to verify if Yunfeng Baisheng and his wife have been executed." Yelv Hong raised an eyebrow and said coldly, giving Yelv Zhen no face at all!
Indeed, Yelv Hong was now a member of the Aohan Sect with a promising future. Why should he care too much about a mere Yelv family?
Yelv Zhen was choked, his face turning pale, and he dared not say another word.
At this moment, Yelv Hong stood with his hands behind his back, looking aloof and proud, and after a brief inspection of Yunfeng Baisheng and Zhao Linlin's bodies, he nodded. "The verification is correct; this pair of traitors is indeed dead."
Yunfeng Wuheng clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms!
He hated! He was angry!
But what right did he have to hate or be angry now?
"Are you the offspring of this pair of traitors?" Yelv Hong finally looked at Yunfeng Wuheng. "I heard everything you said. You are a smart little brat; you don't have to die. Our Aohan Sect has no interest in killing mere animals like pigs, dogs, or cattle!" He then looked at the people from the other major families, "You want to cut the grass and remove the roots, but it's unnecessary. Such a little brat is not a threat. To put your minds at ease, then..."
Yelv Hong looked disdainfully at the people from the major families in the hall.
He was aloof, cold, and arrogant!
Suddenly, he extended his right hand and drew a rune made of white cold air in the air, and with a light shout, "Seal!"
With a wave of his hand, the small rune was directly driven into a spot below Yunfeng Wuheng's navel! That was the Dantian!
Yunfeng Wuheng felt a chill all over his body, and then it seemed as if a mysterious substance had been stuffed into his Dantian. Later, he could no longer feel the existence of his Dantian!
"The Ice Seal from the Seven Secrets of Aohan?" Yunfeng Mo exclaimed softly.
"Little brat, I have sealed your Dantian. From now on, you will never be able to cultivate any martial arts and will be half-disabled!" Yelv Hong's eyes had a mocking expression, "Only a Xiantian-level martial artist might be able to break my seal."
"Crack... Crack..." Yunfeng Wuheng clenched his teeth, making a cracking sound.
Hate!
Hate that reaches the sky!
"To be toyed with like this? To have my Dantian sealed at will?"
"Alright, I'm about to return to the sect to report. This little brat will be crippled for life, unable to gather a single thread of Xuan Qi. You can rest easy. Don't kill him; it would tarnish the reputation of our Aohan Sect and invite gossip from outsiders!"
Yelv Hong stood with his hands behind his back, smiled gracefully, and his figure drifted out of the hall like a wisp of smoke.
"Envoy, your foresight is admirable! We are in awe! Farewell, Envoy!" The hall echoed with a chorus of praise.
Yunfeng Wuheng's eyes were fixed on the retreating figure of Yelv Hong, his eyeballs almost bulging out, bloodshot veins appearing!
"Ha ha, little brat, it seems you are very不服气! If you have the ability one day, you can come to the Aohan Sect and find me, Yelv Hong, to settle the score! Ha ha ha! Interesting, very interesting!"
Yelv Hong laughed mockingly.
"Ha ha, the Envoy is truly humorous." The hall immediately echoed with laughter.
"Rest assured, Yelv Hong, I, Yunfeng Wuheng, will definitely find you! Definitely!" The voice of the little child suddenly echoed in the hall!
"Ha ha ha ha!" But soon, this young voice was drowned out by a burst of laughter.
Yunfeng Wuheng clenched his fists tightly, vowing in his heart... "Each and every one of you, just wait! One day, I will make you pay for what you have done today!"
