Chapter 305: Chapter 305: The Unyielding Song Family
The pupils of Song Qingyun, Song Huai, and the others contracted as a ruthless glint flashed in their eyes.
’They got here fast!’
"All Song Family disciples, on my order, retreat at once!"
Song Qingyun immediately gave the order for the disciples in the courtyard to evacuate.
These families were here for the treasure. They wouldn’t bother with the disciples even if they fled.
Thus, no one paid any mind as the Song Family disciples escaped through another gate.
Everyone was straining to storm the courtyard, all wanting to be the first to get their hands on the dragon.
BOOM—
Four or five Divinity Transformation cultivators launched an attack on the space above the courtyard.
The Divinity Transformation cultivators who had been clashing with Song Qingyun and his group also flew up, their target now unanimously fixed on the array.
Once the array was broken, none of the Song Family’s secrets could be hidden any longer.
"Stop this at once!"
The hearts of Song Qingyun and the others sank. Even though they were prepared, the array would surely not last long against so many Divinity Transformation cultivators.
It would be a disaster if they were allowed to disturb Wan Ning.
Song Huai’s gaze hardened as he shot upward again, preparing to take on many opponents at once to stop them.
Song Qingyun exchanged a look with Mu Yuan and Fifth Elder, and they too followed suit.
The four of them were united as one, vowing to stop this invasion.
"Hahaha! Song Qingyun, stop this pointless struggle! Get the hell out of our way!"
"The few of you think you can stop us? What a joke!"
"That’s right! Scram, or don’t blame us for being merciless!"
The Divinity Transformation cultivators were incredibly arrogant, taunting Song Qingyun’s group as they attacked.
Did Song Qingyun’s paltry group of four really think they could withstand the attacks of a dozen Divinity Transformation cultivators?
It was utter fantasy.
As soon as they finished speaking, several attacks flashed out, knocking Song Qingyun’s group of four away one by one.
Down below, He Family Master was locked in battle with the Song Family’s Nascent Soul Cultivators.
The Song Family was in a dire situation.
They were vastly outnumbered in terms of both Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Soon, many of them were injured, and it was obvious they couldn’t hold out much longer.
But these men had grit. Despite their injuries, they refused to yield a single step.
They held their ground resolutely before the main gate.
Song Qingyun and his group were knocked to the ground, but they quickly wiped the blood from their mouths and soared back into the sky.
"If you want to get inside today, you’ll have to step over our dead bodies!"
With that, the four launched another attack, charging forward with reckless abandon.
The disciples who had just escaped could no longer stand to watch. With furious roars, they charged back toward the cultivators outside the gate.
Their individual strength may have been lacking, but if they stood united, they could at least create some trouble for their enemies.
They all knew that their young mistress was in the middle of something incredibly important inside the courtyard.
The entire family was protecting her, and they were no exception.
"Charge! Take down this pack of wolves!"
"Charge! Go, go, go!"
"Sons of bitches! Everyone, let’s give ’em hell!"
The disciples charged forward like madmen.
The onlooking cultivators who had gathered to watch the commotion revealed looks of shock at the sight.
They knew it was a suicide mission, yet these disciples charged forward regardless. Their courage was truly admirable.
’If it were us, we probably wouldn’t have such courage.’
Their enemies were Nascent Soul Cultivators. A single slap was enough to kill them.
BOOM—
With a deafening blast, a mushroom cloud rose over the Song Family’s courtyard. A violent gust of wind instantly swept through the surroundings, whipping everyone’s robes about and making them lose their footing.
The tremendous force of the explosion sent even the Divinity Transformation cultivators flying, knocking them back over ten meters before they finally stabilized.
Blood trickled from the corners of the mouths of Song Qingyun’s group of four, their eyes brimming with killing intent.
In contrast, the group opposite them looked arrogant, their eyes glinting with ridicule.
"Song Qingyun, do you really plan to meet your end here?"
"Move aside, or don’t blame us when we stop holding back!"
Killing a Divinity Transformation cultivator was no simple task.
Though they shared a common goal, everyone had their own agenda. No one wanted to exhaust their Spiritual Power killing these few, only to let someone else swoop in and snatch the treasure.
Song Qingyun naturally understood this, which was why he was desperately trying to stall for time.
He clutched his chest and coughed, his body trembling with pain, yet his resolve never wavered.
"In your dreams!!"
A ruthless glint appeared in Song Qingyun’s eyes. Just as he was about to attack again, a shout came from He Family Master down below.
"Song Qingyun, if you continue to resist, don’t blame us for slaughtering every last one of them!"
He Family Master and a group of his men had surrounded the Song Family disciples. Dozens of them lay on the ground, all heavily injured and unable to even get up.
Song Qingyun glanced down, and his eyes instantly filled with murderous intent as he locked his gaze on He Family Master.
’How dare he use the lives of these disciples to blackmail us into surrendering?’
’Despicable!’
"They’re all low-level disciples! As esteemed Nascent Soul True Monarchs, aren’t you afraid the world will spit on your names?"
The Song Family elders were so enraged they could taste blood. They never imagined He Family Master would stoop so low.
Hearing this, He Family Master snorted coldly.
"Hmph. Song Qingyun, spare me your lectures on benevolence and morality."
"We currently suspect the Song Family of engaging in activities harmful to the Cultivation World! If you continue to resist, you will be the ones shunned by all!"
’We can’t wait any longer.’
’But who knows where those Song Family bastards got this array? We still haven’t been able to break it!’
’Every time it seems on the verge of collapse, filling us with hope, the array somehow manages to stabilize. It’s infuriating!’
’At this point, any means are acceptable to get into that courtyard, as long as it works.’
The other Family Heads saw this but didn’t voice their agreement, content to let He Family Master play the bad guy.
However, their stance was clear. If the Song Family refused to compromise, they wouldn’t hesitate to attack these low-level disciples themselves.
High above, an ancestor of the Ning Family lifted his gaze and spoke to Song Qingyun. "Either you stand aside."
"Or they die."
"Make your choice."
A confident, triumphant smile played on his lips.
With a single, casual wave of his hand, he could turn all these disciples into a bloody pulp.
There was no way Song Qingyun’s group of four could fend off so many opponents.
"Clan Leader, don’t worry about us! We aren’t afraid to die!"
Suddenly, a Song Family disciple shouted out.
Once one person spoke, the others joined in.
"Clan Leader, we aren’t afraid to die!"
"You can’t let them pass!"
"To die for the Song Family is worth it!"
"That’s right! Kill us all if you have the guts! No one in the Song Family is a coward!"
"Clan Leader, kill them! Kill these bastards and avenge us!"
"Clan Leader, tell the young mistress we have no regrets!"
