With the battle all but decided, the sun started shining clearly on the victors.
The Cai family did not rest though. They went forward, making sure that the Hong family was exterminated.
Man, woman, and child, none of them were spared. No one could afford to let the Hong bloodline live, or it might come back to strike them back in the future, when they would least expect it.
Screams filled the air, and Liu Feng tried his best to calm his mind, and stop thinking about it. Instead, he looked at the one that he just vanquished.
He was the one who had killed Hong Qiu. Not Cai Guo, but him.
Although there was the small discussion that Hong Qiu killed himself by succumbing to the heart devil, no one dared to say anything about it. The fact that Liu Feng could seal Hong Qiu such that he could not even move, and could not retaliate, was something that shocked everyone.
And now that Yue Zhe had shown such favor toward this Young Noble, everyone knew better than to offend him.
So when he walked up to Hong Qiu's corpse and pocketed his spatial ring, and then took Tian Wan's spatial ring, no one said a thing in response.
Liu Feng looked at Cai Guo next.
"There should be some nice stuff in these spatial rings, Family head, but all of us know that the real treasures are going to be inside. So are we going to wait here and dilly dally, or are we going to go inside and start splitting the real prize of the day?" Liu Feng said bluntly.
"After you, Young Noble. This battle has only been won because of the presence of you and your friends. I dare not claim right to the treasury."
Right now, the Cai family were only winners. If they could get even a fraction of the loot that Liu Feng was going to claim from the Hong family, they would go home with not a single major casualty.
And never minding any of that, now, Liu Feng had solidified his place as the stronger faction in the entire capital. This group of people that banded together to annihilate the Hong family, and destroy the Second prince's campaign in the process was a terrifying collection.
Cai Guo had no doubt that if the tenth prince, ahem, princess' people also joined them, then the crown was all but guaranteed.
And the Cai family would be the true winners, as the ones who supported both Liu Feng and the tenth princess.
Because of the agreement between Liu Feng and Tian Xiu, after Liu Feng became the king, he would pass the title to Tian Xiu and leave for the ancient realm.
After that, the Cai family could easily solidify its position as the strongest family, and maybe even the strongest power.
"Ah! The Tiandu sect and Sky Heavens sect are too powerful to topple just yet. I hope that this young noble will spare us a few good resources here." Cai Guo hoped in his head as the group dashed into the depths of the Hong family's manor.
Two of the Cai family's Soul Evolution Experts joined the battle so make sure that the Cai family wouldn't suffer losses. Why would they want to lose valuable Xiantian experts?
Cai Guo stopped for a second and scanned the area.
"The place where most of the Hong family experts are trying to rush to is that way. They might be trying to salvage a few treasures from the treasury before trying to flee." Cai Guo said.
"No. This is a distraction. They love their family so much that they are willing to be a distraction and let some people escape with a few treasures that will help the family line extend for a little bit longer." Liu Feng pointed to a distance.
This shrine was deserted. They were the only ones going this direction. It seemed like a contingency plan that was discussed a long time ago.
And the kids themselves were pretty fast for their cultivation, easily reaching the shrine in a few minutes. A few seals later, the shrine suddenly moved, and they entered the shrine.
Then, it immediately moved to close up.
"They did everything right, but it is too bad they underestimate the power of a soul evolution stage cultivator and his detection abilities." Liu Feng sighed as he rushed forward, landing in front of the shrine in a few blinks.
"It is a shame that someone so young has to lose their life. They are giving up their lives and sacrificing everything to try and push the family forward. It is a pity, but that is exactly why they must die." Cai Guo sighed as he appeared next to Liu Feng.
Just by touching the shrine, it blasted into pieces, and a staircase revealed itself.
Light shone through the once dark staircase, and three young men appeared, trying to open the doors of the treasury.
"How did they find us? I thought that the bait worked!" one of them grit his teeth as he raised his sword and pointed it toward Liu Feng, who walked forward calmly.
"Put the sword down, you fool. You won't get anything swinging it at me." Liu Feng took one step, but in that one step, he appeared right next to them, startling them.
"Get back!" the man jumped as he started waving the sword, but a thought crept in his mind.
Maybe this young looking man was actually a Soul Evolution Expert? Maybe he was too strong for them to handle?
"Get the hell out of my way, fools." Cai Guo's voice was heard, and immediately, the three men froze.
"Ah. Such terrible luck they have, being born with such a terrible leader, who only had greed." Cai Guo sighed as he snapped his fingers.
Splatter!
