Chapter 357: The Destruction of the Li Family
As Snake Spear and his team continued to massacre the remaining members of the Li Family, they suddenly felt a terrifying wave of energy coming from the entrance, causing them to look up in surprise.
"What incredible power, no wonder it's from that person."
Snake Spear inwardly clicked his tongue. Even he, with his strength, couldn't withstand such an attack for even a second. And the old gorilla? Don't even mention it.
"Speed up, the situation over there is already resolved."
"Yes."
The group quickened their pace, and the screams of the Li Family's remaining members became even more frequent.
"Damn it, who the hell are you? How dare you... dare to do this..."
Watching his clan members fall one by one before him, Taino's eyes turned red, glaring at the butchers, but his weak strength left him powerless.
In the end, he could only join forces with several clan elders to protect the younger generation with great talent, cutting through a bloody path.
"Quick, escape! Go find protection with the elders of the other three families, do not look back!"
The children, already terrified out of their wits, nodded through their tears and immediately ran as fast as they could toward the clan's borders.
Snake Spear watched all of this but made no move to stop them. Instead, he unconsciously increased the speed of his slaughter.
After several dozen minutes, Snake Spear and the soul masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect surrounded the remaining survivors of the Li Family, looking down on them coldly.
Taino, barely hanging on to life, struggled to open his tired eyes, glaring fiercely at Snake Spear and asking:
"Why? Who are you?"
"Knowing won't change anything. From the moment your Li Family swore loyalty to Tang Hao, the fate of your entire family was already sealed."
Snake Spear's words made Taino's eyes widen in disbelief. He gritted his teeth and growled:
"Spirit... Hall."
Taino couldn't think of anyone else who had such a deep blood feud with Tang Hao, so he naturally assumed that the Spirit Hall was behind this.
Snake Spear made no attempt to argue, only sneering at him.
"Don't rejoice too soon. The Li Family's descendants who escaped will grow up desperately, and they will come for revenge."
"Heh, what makes you think they can escape? Or do you think I'm blind, not noticing those little brats escaping?"
"You—"
Hearing this, Taino's eyes widened, a chill creeping up his spine, and in that moment, his injuries claimed his life.
In his final moments, Taino could only pray that Talon, still at the academy, would inherit the Li Family's legacy.
"Talon... don't let me down. Live well."
With the last of the survivors eliminated, Snake Spear led his group out of the clan's territory.
As expected, the children who had escaped were easily dealt with by Spiny Pig, who had been stationed outside. With the remaining few members of the family not present in the clan, the entire Li Family was wiped out, and from that day forward, the Li Family no longer existed on the continent.
Several streets away, in the Broken Soul Clan's meeting hall, the three leaders finally relaxed their fingers and opened their eyes.
"The noise is over, I guess..."
"Sigh, we'll go pay our respects to the old gorilla tomorrow. That's the only thing we can do now."
Bai He's words made Yang Wudi and Niu Gao nod repeatedly. While they felt some sympathy, for the sake of their family's development, they could only do what was necessary. If there was blame, it should be placed on Tang Hao, who couldn't protect his own family yet still gave favors to the old gorilla.
The next morning, as the sun rose, the three clan leaders, along with some of their people, arrived at the Li Family's land, intending to pay their last respects.
"Hiss!"
Although they had suspected it, when they saw the ruins of the Li Family's territory, the three of them couldn't help but gasp in shock.
The overwhelming stench of blood nearly caused the members of the three clans to faint.
"Leader, this..."
"Don't ask what you shouldn't. Go and pile up those bodies and bury them."
"Yes."
Upon hearing the reprimand, the clan members immediately swallowed their curiosity and began their tasks.
After traveling for a hundred meters, Bai He looked at Titan's broken corpse in the deep pit, and an expression of pity appeared on his face.
"Do you think Sect Master Ning went a bit too far?"
Bai He's words made Niu Gao lower his head. He too felt that Ning Fengzhi had been a bit too ruthless, but Yang Wudi looked on with a trace of admiration.
"Don't think too much about it. Since we've decided to join their camp, having a decisive leader isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"As long as he truly accepts us, this is something we can accept."
"Well, I hope so."
Looking at his two old friends deep in thought, Yang Wudi spoke up to comfort them.
"Don't dwell on the dark side of things. With the financial power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as long as we genuinely assist them, our family will definitely be more prosperous than it was under the Haotian Sect."
"Mm, Old Yang is right. We just need to focus on developing our family. As long as we're of use to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, we won't be abandoned."
Niu Gao's words made Bai He nod. Just as they had previously advised themselves to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as long as their Min Family didn't end up like the Li Family, they would only rise. There was no room for them to go down.
The news of the Li Family's destruction quickly spread across the continent after some time, causing all the major forces, who had just emerged from the shadow of the Blue Electric Tyrant Clan's fall, to become even more cautious. At the same time, they marveled at the decisiveness of the Spirit Hall.
A few days later, the other single-attribute sects of the Li Family announced they would join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for protection, and their ancestral land would be relocated from Longxing City to the outskirts of Seven Treasure City.
This shocked many factions even more. They couldn't believe that someone dared to accept the protection of the Three Great Sects while facing the Spirit Hall's pressure. While they were surprised, they were also curious to see how the situation would unfold.
Spirit Hall vs. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the strongest force on the continent against the wealthiest, everyone was eager to see who would emerge victorious. Of course, most people were betting on Spirit Hall. After all, when two forces clashed, how could you rely on golden soul coins to defeat the other? These people didn't realize that the two sides were unlikely to even clash.
At the Heaven Dou Palace, the little angel was all smiles as she praised Spiny Pig and Snake Spear for their efficiency.
"Good job. I'll report your achievements to my grandfather."
"Thank you, Young Master."
The two generals were in high spirits, already enjoying the rewards of their hard work. If nothing else, they would finally complete their missing soul bones.
After they left, Qian Renxue turned her gaze to Ning Bei.
"Shall we start planning against the Haotian Sect?"
"Sure, but it's best if you contact that person from the Spirit Hall. That way, we can be absolutely certain. Otherwise, there might be some losses."
Qian Renxue instinctively wanted to reject this idea. She wasn't ready to deal with Bibi Dong yet, but Ning Bei's words made her fall into deep thought. Was it really worth the heavy losses to resolve her internal hesitation?
"I understand. I'll try to convince myself soon."
"Don't rush. The Haotian Sect is not like the Blue Electric Tyrant Clan or the Li Family. They've definitely become alert by now. It won't hurt to prepare more thoroughly."
