Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Leave No One Alive
"Not good!"
The Divinity Transformation cultivators who had just arrived were instantly alarmed.
"These people really want to self-detonate!"
They had been pushed to their breaking point; they were ready to throw their lives away.
’But we were only here to help. We don’t want to die along with them!’
In that instant, the Divinity Transformation cultivators who had rushed out felt a pang of regret.
They had thought the men were just bluffing, but it turned out they were serious.
But now there was no turning back. They could only throw everything they had at the enemy, striving to kill them before they could act.
"Hahaha—Die!"
"Song Wanning, all of you can go to hell."
"All of you, DIE!!!"
As if by silent agreement, their expressions turned crazed as their bodies began to swell.
’This array was meant to trap us, wasn’t it?’
Now it had become their very own cage.
"Hahaha—"
Facing death, they felt a sense of liberation.
They no longer feared Song Wanning.
But to everyone’s surprise, Song Wanning remained completely unruffled.
She simply took a step forward with a smile on her lips, and the familiar Tai Chi Diagram appeared once more.
Lifting her head, a hint of pity flickered in her eyes, as if she were sighing.
Beneath that pity, however, was pure killing intent.
In an instant, a chill ran down everyone’s spine, and even their defiant resolve to die wavered for a moment.
But in that brief moment, the Tai Chi Diagram had already spread beneath their feet.
A powerful restraining force instantly swept over them. Their swelling bodies began to rapidly "leak air," as if a hole had been punctured in them.
Self-detonate?
Song Wanning smirked.
’They’d have to get my permission first.’
"You—"
The enemy Divinity Transformation cultivators were now truly in despair.
That power was suppressing them, making even self-detonation an impossible task.
The Divinity Transformation cultivators who had come to help breathed a sigh of relief at this sight and quickly began to attack the men furiously.
Everyone’s heart was heavy; there was not the slightest bit of happiness.
They clearly understood that if Song Wanning could so easily decide the fate of these Divinity Transformation cultivators from the three great families, she could just as easily decide theirs.
Thankfully, they had chosen to come out and help. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Now, their only choice was to perform as best they could, striving to leave a good impression on Song Wanning.
The battle among the Divinity Transformation cultivators quickly grew more intense.
The Song Family, however, had become mere spectators, standing to the side with their arms crossed and cold expressions.
Watching the surreal scene unfold, the Song Family members found it unbelievable, as if they were in a dream.
But their reverence for Song Wanning had reached its peak, a level no one else could ever surpass.
’This is strength!’
’They had never craved immense power as much as they did now!!!’
Countless cultivators stared at Song Wanning, their eyes shining.
Song Qingyun and the others, however, were concerned about Song Wanning’s condition.
"Wan Ning, the Divine Thunder from before... it didn’t hurt you, did it?"
Mu Yuan grabbed her daughter’s hand, her heart aching. Everyone saw her daughter’s power, but they didn’t know she had withstood the bombardment of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
’Sometimes, I really wish she weren’t so strong. Then she wouldn’t have to carry the weight of the Song Family on her shoulders.’
But at the same time, she was also proud of her daughter.
These complex emotions ultimately melted into immense guilt.
’If we, her parents, were more capable, our daughter wouldn’t have to suffer so much.’
The Evil Qi surrounding Song Wanning instantly dissipated upon hearing their concerned questions.
A broad smile filled her eyes.
Her gaze swept across the faces of the disciples, part promise, part sigh.
"This time, the Song Family will never again be lambs to the slaughter."
"We will all live on, and live well."
The many trials of her past and present lives finally dissipated at this moment. Everything was different now.
As Song Wanning smiled, her eyes gradually reddened.
She clenched her fists and looked up.
Endless battle intent surged in her eyes.
...
"No—"
"Ahhh—"
One after another, miserable screams rang out.
The trapped Divinity Transformation cultivators had no way to escape and were besieged by the other Divinity Transformation cultivators who had come to "help."
Coupled with the suppression from the Tai Chi Diagram, the men soon fell one by one.
The scene finally fell silent when the last man’s Nascent Soul was destroyed.
No one said a word.
Everyone stared at the corpses of the Divinity Transformation cultivators covering the ground, their expressions dazed, unable to process what they had seen for a long time.
The Divinity Transformation cultivators who had done the killing felt a deep-seated unease, their expressions complicated as they gazed at the bodies.
At the same time, they were incredibly glad that when it was time to pick a side, they had not chosen the wrong one.
If they too had been persuaded by He Family Master to come and pressure the Song Family, they would likely be sharing the same tragic fate right now.
The more they thought about it, the more terrified they became. They exchanged glances and waited obediently for Song Wanning to give her orders.
After waiting for a full few minutes, Song Wanning finally spoke.
This was exactly the effect she wanted—to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. It would teach these people a lesson, so they wouldn’t get any stupid ideas and come bother the Song Family again.
"I must thank you, seniors, for your invaluable assistance in helping my Song Family apprehend these bandits and thieves!"
"Please, come inside and take a seat."
She smiled and made a welcoming gesture, signaling that this turmoil had, for the moment, come to an end.
The Divinity Transformation cultivators breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put on smiles.
"It was our duty, our duty! These men forcefully besieged the Song Family, acting lawlessly without any regard for the rules of the Cultivation World. We naturally couldn’t stand by and do nothing!"
"Right, right! The Song Family nearly sacrificed all of its disciples just to protect itself. Those men got what they deserved!"
"It’s all thanks to Song Dao You for turning the tide—"
This group of what appeared to be senior, composed, and powerful figures began spouting flattery.
The blame for this matter could certainly only be placed on those other families. Besides, they were the ones who came to rob them in the first place, so it wasn’t as if anyone was lying.
Song Wanning was very satisfied with how perceptive these people were and gave Song Qingyun a look.
Song Qingyun understood and led the men into the courtyard.
Although it was just a small courtyard, it had a main hall, so receiving guests was not a problem.
Song Wanning, however, stayed behind, leading Song Huai and others to collect all the Storage Rings on the scene.
The other disciples began to clean up the battlefield, washing away the bloodstains on the ground.
The ground was covered in blood, a jarring sight to behold. There were even fragmented limbs and flesh.
Some of the low-level disciples, unused to such slaughter, couldn’t help but vomit, yet their expressions were filled with pride and glee.
The spectating cultivators were also still watching from a distance, reluctant to leave.
The scenes from today were simply too shocking; even now, everyone was still having trouble coming to their senses.
Some cultivators took out Memory Stones that had recorded the events and quickly began to spread the footage...
In an instant, all across the Human Clan Territory, people were watching the terrifying scene of Song Wanning slaughtering Divinity Transformation cultivators.
As for the three great families, the He Family, and the other families that had come to cause trouble, they felt as if the sky had fallen. Many of their disciples packed their belongings and fled, terrified of being purged by the Song Family.
But they couldn’t get their hands on any of the good stuff; they could only grab some of the common items from within their family compounds.
The high spirits of the elders before they left were still fresh in their minds.
Yet they had gone from being disciples of lofty, top-tier families to stray dogs!
