Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Ahhhh!

Three varieties of anguish pitched reverberated throughout the Cao mansion. Laying on the floor were the three patriarchs that just sacrificed their bodies to keep their lives.

Previously, they thought it was just to lose a part of their body, but how wrong were they.

The chaotic Qi in the sword attack ran amok in their bodies, destroying their foundation. Each of them dropped two levels to their previous half-step Core Refining realm.

Once again, their plans were useless right in front of absolute strength. Their bodies couldn't even withstand the phantom attack of such an expert. How strong was that person?

It was then they realized how foolish their previous action must have appeared to that person. If that person decided, they could annihilate every one of them without breaking a sweat.

Realizing how futile their action and what they lost, the three men didn't care about their faces and wailed loudly on the floor.

This was the greatest loss of their lives.

Looking at three old dogs crying like babies, the old woman found solace in their misery. At least, she was not the only one that had the taste of misfortune.

The four lay on the ground in their pool of blood with regret etched on their faces. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do next. They've sacrificed their bodies, can they leave now?

Staying inside the Cao clan was like staying inside the demon abyss. They were not sure when the demon would change his mind and harvest their pathetic lives.

It was in that moment they heard the cold, emotionless voice in their ear.

"I've forgotten your insolence against me and you can keep your pathetic lives. But I haven't forgotten the loss from my stores. How are you going to repay?"

Listening to the voice, they tensed up with their faces full of panic. What do you mean you incur a loss from your store?! Which loss? We all lose all our elders and powerful subordinates without gaining a thing.

And now, we've paid with our bodies.

They wanted to cry and scream at such an unreasonable claim but held back their rage. Each of them was a shrewd person. They could control their emotions like it's the back of their hand.

"Powerful lord, what do you need? Please tell us, and we won't hesitate to fulfill it at the expense of our lives," Patriarch Ding flattered with his best smile.

En!

The other three looked at Patriarch Ding with a stunned expression. When did this old dog become a licking dog? They looked at each other and saw the stupefied gaze on each other's faces.

Even Su Yen was stunned for a couple of seconds before he burst into laughter. "What a shrewd old man."

He knew this type of people would do anything to keep their lives. Fortunately for him, he loves such type of people.

Quickly, he told them what he needed for them to keep their lives once again. This time around, they were not terrified because of the phantom sword but for something else.

Today, they met their master.

Previously, they thought they were cunning and shrewd, but they met Su Yen who was cunning, shrewd, and ruthless.

They never thought such a powerful person would have such attributes. He was threatening them while also extorting them and doing so with a righteous justification.

The four old dogs looked at each other with their jaws dropped to the ground. The four of them had to provide the manpower and resources for the construction of one thousand stores in the neighboring cities.

One thousand stores!

We're dead!

They cried in their minds. Their expressions so bitter that they wanted to commit suicide. Although they were wealthy, yet, none of them could support such a massive project.

Such a project would take years to complete, but he wanted it completed in a month.

Thrown in the whirlpool of emotions, which was mostly regret, they heard Su Yen's cold voice.

"Do you agree, or do you want me to exterminate your clan and pavilions?"

Sighed.

The four looked at each other for the umpteenth time and sighed once again. They nodded in agreement.

What could they do? They are already dancing in the palm of their enemies. And with their current strength, it would be a pipe dream to try to struggle.

"Good. I want it to start immediately."

With that, the air around them twisted, and they disappeared from their location. When they appeared, they were thrown outside the gate of the Cao clan mansion.

Ahhhhh!

They grimaced in pain, rolling a couple of feet before coming to a stop. They stood with a bitter expression on their faces and prepared to leave when they heard Su Yen's voice once more.

"You can choose to sabotage your promise and think I won't know. A note of reminder, a portion of my sword Qi is in your dantian, and if I detect anything… Hehe.." His voice trailed off not completing his statement.

However, to those old dogs, they shivered and quickly checked their dantian and behold a wisp of sword was laying calmly in their dantian.

Once again their plan to delay their donation for the project was destroyed before it even began.

Totally defeated both mentally and physically, they used the last bit of strength to escape from the vicinity.

With the leaders of the various factions defeated, the city began to regain its tranquility. The raging sound of battle came to an end, and the miserable howls of people came to a stop.

However, the thick stench of blood permeated the sky with small streams of blood on the street. Many clans had been butchered to a crisp. Such clans had nothing existing in them.

The brutality of the battle was so much that for the rest of the day, the city never recovered from the battle. Corpse after corpse was found in various parts of the inner city and outer city.

The death toll was so high that when people discovered it, they wailed in pain. Some even cried for the city lord's intervention and the guards. But nothing happened.

The city guards who were given a forceful leave returned to work after everything had died down. The only thing left for them to do was to pack the thousands of corpses lying on the street.

This day would be a day the people of Baiyun city would never forget. A day a name would resound in their hearts till generations to come — Celestial Heavenly Sect.
