Chapter 111

Under the hood, four old hags flicked their snake tails, shooting straight up into the sky; their aura even surpassed that of Jia Xingtian.

Four Fighting Emperor peaks!

Nalan Jie exclaimed in fear at the strength of those who had appeared; the Thunder Sect is truly terrifying, looking at these snake tails, they must have brought out all the trump cards of the Snake-People clan.

The Snake-People clan's Grand Elder stood proudly in the sky, continuously forming seals with his hands; with just a single palm, he sent all the incoming attackers crashing down to the horizon.

He gave Yun Leng a mocking glance, and the Grand Elder snorted coldly, "What kind of trash dares to also call themselves Grand Elder."

Yun Leng's face flushed a mix of green and red, yet he dared not utter a word; the opponent was a Fighting Emperor peak, and he was ten thousand miles inferior—one strike could take his life.

No longer paying attention to Yun Leng, the Grand Elder's seal had already formed; "Attack."

The three elders beside him nodded, their seals merging with the Grand Elder's.

"Four Snake Seal of Heaven!"

He let out a low shout, the Grand Elder directing the formation; the Snake-People clan's foundation is deep, there are many such multi-person joint-attack formations, for example the Five Snake Poison Sudden Seal from the original work.

The massive seal enveloped the sky; the joint attack of the four Fighting Emperor peaks would be difficult for even a Fighting Sect to block.

Moreover, this move isn't meant to cause harm; it's merely to block the path of the two Guardians.

Although this grand formation only blocked the two Fighting Sects for a moment, it was already enough for Yao Lao and Medusa to catch up.

Yao Lao's lifetime collection and abilities are not much inferior to the Snake-People clan's; the fire seal formed from three different heavenly fires firmly locked the two Guardians in a space.

The Guardian covered the wound pierced by Medusa, coldly staring at Yao Lao.

"Two Fighting Sects, nine Fighting Emperors, plus Xiao Li and Yao Chen, each a match for a Fighting Sect—what great ability."

The Guardian's voice was icy, yet it could not conceal the fury within.

Yao Chen gave a faint smile, "Trash, it seems you didn't count the number of Fighting Kings."

The number of Fighting Kings?

The Guardian's mouth twitched; these strange Snake-People weren't just four Fighting Emperor peaks, there were also six Fighting Kings, plus the Thunder Sect's, making over a dozen in total—the chaotic battle made it hard for the Guardian to count them at a glance.

That's right; besides the Flower Snake Child and the Moon Charm Guardian Family, the other six tribal leaders were also brought over by Xiao Li.

This time, the destruction of the Cloud Mist Sect is already a foregone conclusion!

Xiao Li slowly walked out of the center of the Thunder Sect's camp, with more than ten Fighting King–level experts gathered around him.

"Cloud Mist Sect, defeated."

Yun Yun lightly clenched her silver teeth, gripping her sword tightly, "The outcome isn't decided yet—stop spouting empty talk."

Gazing at the two Soul Hall Guardians completely suppressed and beaten by Yao Lao and his six companions, Xiao Li smirked contemptuously, "Sect Leader Yun Yun, from the very start you had no chance of winning."

Perhaps no one knows, but from the start Xiao Li had prepared for the strength of five Fighting Sects here, specifically having Qian Bai Er Lao leave a spatial imprint on him; whenever he needed, Qian Bai Er Lao would arrive within an hour.

But who would have thought the Cloud Mist Sect would be so unhelpful; although they had three Soul Hall Guardians, Yun Shan had yet to break through, and the current forces were already sufficient.

Yun Leng stood beside Yun Yun, "It's clearly Xiao Yan who first provoked our Cloud Mist Sect!"

Yun Leng was covered in wounds; as the Grand Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect, in this battle he didn't even rank as a third-tier fighter.

Xiao Li couldn't be bothered with him, watching as Yao Lao above had already brought down the corpses of two Soul Hall Guardians, he gave a faint smile.

"It's over."

Yun Yun painfully closed her eyes; her sword clanged to the ground, Nalan Yanran eyes brimming with tears as she supported Yun Yun.

"Spare the disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect, and we can surrender," Yun Yun said weakly.

"Heh, Sect Leader Yun Yun, you really haven't grasped the situation; what qualifications do you have now to negotiate with us?"

Xiao Li gave a mocking smile, watching Yao Lao easily seize Yun Shan and Jia Xingtian; with a light wave of his right hand, the remaining several hundred of the Thunder Sect united with the Snake-People clan's experts, already having encircled the Cloud Mist Sect on all sides.

Nalan Yanran knew she had no qualifications to negotiate with Xiao Li; she could only look pleadingly at Xiao Yan, not knowing what reason she had to seek him, but she only knew Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, as long as you let your brother spare the Cloud Mist Sect, I am willing to become a slave or servant."

Nalan Jie's heart gave a jolt; without saying more, he silently stood beside his granddaughter.

Xiao Yan's face showed hesitation, "Second brother, do we really have to slaughter even the ordinary disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect?"

Xiao Li paused, looking at Xiao Yan with some frustration at his inability to become steel.

"Xiao Yan."

"He didn't call him Xiao Yanzi, but Xiao Yan."

Hearing Xiao Li's words, Xiao Yan's body trembled, and he unconsciously lowered his head.

"Don't be so merciful anymore; it will only harm you."

Xiao Yan blankly raised his head, let out a faint sigh, said no more; his plea for the Cloud Mist Sect's disciples was merely out of humanitarianism.

"When these people brandished their blades at the Thunder Sect's disciples, when they set up the Cloud Smoke Covering Sun Formation, when they mocked you behind your back for five years—that's when they became enemies; do you understand?"

Xiao Li's words were pearls of wisdom; Xiao Yan's eyes regained clarity, as if he had realized something, and he nodded heavily.

"I understand, second brother."

Xiao Li's eyes showed relief, "As long as you know, that's good."

Afterward, Xiao Li gave the order; in Yun Yun's despairing gaze, he uttered a calm sentence.

"Cloud Mist Sect, from top to bottom, not a single one left."

Xiao Li turned, looking at Tie Wu, "You know my usual approach."

Tie Wu gave a ferocious grin, "Rest assured, Sect Leader; I've just found the Cloud Mist Sect's roster—whether those here or anyone who ever studied at the Cloud Mist Sect, I won't leave a single one!"

Xiao Li was greatly relieved, turning his head to look at Xiao Ding.

"Big brother, assign some people to wipe out those who once persecuted our Xiao family; pick the manpower as you like, but make sure not a single one escapes."

Xiao Ding nodded firmly, leading away Yin Gu Lao and five Fighting Kings, along with over a hundred able fighters.

Finally, Xiao Li looked at Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yanzi, take Medusa, fetch Father into the city; let the family's base be the imperial palace of the Jia Ma Empire."

From then on, the imperial family of the Jia Ma Empire bore the surname Xiao.

Xiao Li's methods were swift and decisive; he quickly dispatched everyone, striking with thunderous force against the forces opposed to him.

Of course, I haven't forgotten the Snake People either.

The Snake People's Four Great Elders' auras were somewhat withered, after all they were old, and they had just participated in a Fighting Sect-level battle.

The Great Elder looked at Xiao Li with some hesitation; to be honest, she didn't quite trust Xiao Li, fearing this guy would abandon them after using them, but fortunately, Xiao Li kept his word.

"Great Elder, thank you for your hard work this time; I will definitely fulfill what I promised you. Within the Jia Ma Empire, you may pick any place you like, and if the whole tribe encounters any difficulties in relocating, you can come to me."

The Great Elder instantly beamed with a smile, but she also knew that the Snake People were not suited to immediately go to a densely populated area, so she only asked for the vicinity of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

Xiao Li also began to establish laws, all of which were helpful in improving relations between the Snake People and humans.

For example, if Snake People intermarry with humans, their children can receive a medicinal pill to ensure survival rate, and so on.

It wasn't mentioned in the text, but I can now tell you clearly: Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, including Nalan Jie, and the Nalan Clan are all gone. To be honest, I originally wanted Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran to survive, but there was no reason. In this story, Yun Yun has no relation to Xiao Yan at all, and the Nalan Clan is the same; in fact, the Nalan Clan even owes the Xiao Clan. I don't know if this is a toxic point, I don't know whether it will provoke Yun Yun's fans to rage, but I know it fits the logic. In the story, Xiao Li is about eradicating the roots, leaving no future trouble.

Because there were too many comments, I haven't looked at them this period, but I can also tell everyone that I will delete bad comments; I won't let one person affect a group of people, because before becoming an author I was also a reader, and when I read books, I would be influenced by others' bad comments, since others' comments come with tinted glasses, I know that feeling, so I will delete comments that affect others, especially mindless spam. The other day, on QQ Reading, someone said something like 'Little Doctor Immortal single female lead is written by a sb author.' I checked their profile—a professional troll, giving all one-star ratings, bashing multiple female leads, bashing single female lead, bashing the protagonist for killing people, bashing for not killing people. It really affected my impression of QQ Reading, so I'll try to avoid QQ Reading as much as possible in the future.
