Chapter 549: Ten Thousand Years of Blood Feud

"Master Tushan Two Stripes?"

General Heishi Hei Louxi was stunned, only then recalling the intelligence gathered from interrogating the rogue cultivators earlier.

Rogue cultivators are the sort who forget righteousness for profit, know nothing of loyalty or filial piety; they spoke up voluntarily without even much interrogation.

The captive stated that a sword genius had emerged in the current Lu Xu Sect, named Master Tushan Sword Cultivator, who vaguely matched the Master Tushan City Lord mentioned in the family intelligence.

In less than a few months, this person slew the Guiding Ruler True Person of the Tie family, unified numerous rogue cultivators, and based on Master Tushan Two Stripes, suddenly established a massive power.

She had thought all this was a tall tale; rogues often spread rumors and love to exaggerate, and the few rogue cultivators captured had not seen it with their own eyes.

Even if it were true, she did not believe this had any relation to herself, born of the General Heishi clan.

The hatred between rogue cultivators and family cultivators is known to all.

The blood feud between the two sides has spread for who knows how many years; neither side can even say clearly anymore.

"This..."

Even if it were merely to humiliate her before death,

that would be a one-in-a-thousand chance; a Jin Dan from the General Heishi collateral branch could catch her breath for a while, still having a chance.

It is simply that every rogue cultivator who has grown up has suffered suppression and slaughter by the family cultivators of their region; every one is a survivor carved out from countless deaths, their relatives and family long vanished into the years, under the family cultivators' slaughter blades.

"In that case, then follow us to see Lord Master Tushan, to receive the Sword Intent and the One-Eyed Cicada."

Clearly, without any pressure forcing them, these aged and cunning Jin Dan of the General Heishi clan, through mere fragments of speech, had already guessed that deep in their hearts, these rogue cultivators extremely desired to kill them.

The beast-path He family destroyed the Qi Yu Zong, destroyed the home where he lived for over five hundred years, the home that held the sorrowful threads of memories of his former master, junior sister, wife, and children.

It was only that constrained by certain bindings, they dared not strike.

The moment her words left her lips, countless people sighed in the shadows.

These family members were not companions bound by an old cultivator who had weathered storms, nor so-called concubines, nor children born of them, but family from their youth, when they were innocent young children; the depth of that affection is unimaginable.

Regardless, the fact remains that these rogue cultivators have stopped; they possess the strength to kill without loss, needing no tricks.

General Heishi Hei Louxi's heart startled; she fell silent for a long while.

"I am willing to obey Master Tushan Two Stripes!"

"Sigh..."

How could there be no hatred?

It was merely weighing the situation.

In their youth, the passing of these family members would leave permanent scars in the hearts of even aged demonic path Liuzhi Liuzhi Laomo who had cultivated for years.

She said nothing; numerous Jin Dan from the General Heishi collateral branch all turned their gaze toward one person.

Many old cultivators are nearing the end of their lifespan, with no ties or burdens; their final choice is to assault the territories of the Northern Plain families, trading self-detonation for the death of a family Jin Dan, to avenge their mortal mother and brothers, and to clear their minds.

At that moment, saying nothing further, True Person Bai Mei continued: "True Person Bai Shi, True Person Luo Yun... these four are lost here; where are they?"

True Person Bai Mei felt a slight regret.

Following her, the other Jin Dan from the General Heishi collateral branch also bowed their heads.

General Heishi Hei Louxi lowered her head and respectfully said.

If one speaks of loyalty and righteousness, and truly gives them a chance, everyone here will die.

"True Person Bai Mei, they are here."

Moments later, a bald General Heishi Jin Dan cultivator forced his way out of the crowd, opened his storage bag, and released three Jin Dan cultivators covered in blood and flesh; they were no longer human in form, making one imagine what torture they had endured.

"True Person Bai Mei, at that time we did not know the grace of Heaven; the ignorant are not to be blamed; Lord Master Tushan surely will not be so petty..."

The bald Jin Dan cultivator smiled apologetically and secretly handed over a heavy storage bag.

True Person Bai Mei ignored him and carefully examined the injuries of the three.

"The meridians and divine souls of True Person Bai Shi and the other two have suffered extremely severe injuries; whether they can be restored is unknown... hand them over to Lord Master Tushan for handling."

True Person Bai Mei raised her head and looked at the bald giant: "Has True Person Luo Yun died?"

"This..."

The bald giant's cold sweat poured out continuously: "It was a momentary slip; it was not intentional on our part."

"Release your divine soul and allow me to examine it."

True Person Bai Mei said calmly.

"This... the sea of consciousness is the foundation of a cultivator... how can it be..."

The bald giant sensed grave danger; he gathered his magic power and looked at his General Heishi kin with a plea for help, only to see each person lower their head or turn their gaze elsewhere.

"Then die."

True Person Bai Mei recorded his words and deeds with the One-Eyed Cicada and let out a long sigh of relief.

Boom!

More than a dozen bolts of Lei Ting suddenly fell, smashing the bald giant who had just reacted into pieces; charred flesh and blood splattered everywhere; a Jin Dan Zhong Qi cultivation level was utterly useless.

This was not the end.

"This Daoist friend, the injury and death of True Person Luo Yun and the others require investigation."

True Person Bai Mei then looked at a beautiful woman of the General Heishi clan, a cultivator with late-stage Jin Dan cultivation, and politely said: "Please release your divine soul and allow me to examine it until the true culprit who killed and harmed these four is found."

Willingness to accept new Jin Dan cultivators does not conflict with revenge.

"We have clearly already surrendered; you go back on your word; you lowly rogue cultivators deserve..."

The beautiful woman cried out in shock and rage.

Yet she saw that the cultivator opposite, with white hair and beard, was not angry; instead, a hint of expectation appeared on his face.

Her heart turned cold.

After a moment of silence, she released her sea of consciousness.

"I did not expect this Daoist friend to be so aware of the times."

Bai Mei True Person sighed, his divine sense flooding into it, not only reviewing the previous events but also attempting to examine General General Heishi's Gong Fa and various secrets.

Unfortunately, he was blocked by a restriction and did not succeed.

"A total of five people need to be put to death."

After examining this woman's Sea of Consciousness, Bai Mei True Person raised his head and transmitted the results of his investigation to the other cultivators via divine sense, letting them confirm it.

"No errors."

"No errors."

The three squad captains of the Tremor Department confirmed one after another, leaving their divine sense imprints on a sheet of spirit text, and taking out blank jade slips to copy a copy for future spot checks.

This was a clearly stipulated system.

"Then, the five General Heishi Dao friends who participated in the murder of Luo Yun True Person, please set off."

Bai Mei True Person was not that decisive; he spoke slowly, as Lei Chong Guang gathered around the surrounding cultivators.

"Kill them!"

"These lowly loose cultivators are looking for excuses to kill us all off one by one!"

"Can't you all see it?"

The five Jin Dan cultivators roared in terror—some wielded their Yu Shi Fa treasures to strike at the nearest loose cultivators, some burned their essence blood to flee, some tried to incite cultivators of the same clan, and so on, each acting differently.

There was no response.

Many General Heishi cultivators, including Hei Hei Louxi, deeply lowered their heads, no longer looking at the pleading gazes of their clansmen around them.

Boom!

Over forty bolts of Lei Ting fell in unison, shattering all the noise; the spiritual light of their Ben Ming Fa treasures dimmed as they plummeted, and black ash scattered between heaven and earth.

"Go back and report."

Bai Mei True Person glanced at the General Heishi Jin Dan cultivators, then flew into the sky. Without an excuse, he truly did not make another move, not even a fraction, and no one was even watching over them.

"Follow."

Hei Hei Louxi said in a low voice, quickly flying up to follow.

She knew this was yet another hidden trap.

If people like them thought an opportunity had come and secretly fled, Lei Ting would instantly fall in a perfectly lawful and regulation-compliant manner, killing them on the spot, and the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in their treasures and storage bags would be divided up and emptied.
