Chapter 1104: Evidence of Guilt Piled Like a Mountain

A bolt of lightning flashed past.

The gloating Ji Baijie, the Ji Baijie busy watching the excitement, the Ji Baijie fearing the world would not be chaotic, the Ji Baijie harboring hatred toward these powerful human clans—he proactively borrowed a small Slaughter God Ship and brought it over.

The human militia that had previously been chasing Ji Baijie all boarded this small Slaughter God Ship.

The Slaughter God Ship was extremely fast, and with the aid of a human-built spatial gate, it took only a short quarter of an hour for the human militia to arrive in the thunderlight at Xi Valley.

Dense ranks of human elites poured out of the Slaughter God Ship, completely surrounding Xi Valley from all directions.

"Utterly devoid of heavenly virtue, utterly horrifying to mankind…… Such things, such things……" The Chief Elder of the Xi lineage went limp all over, able to stand in midair only with the support of a few Elders.

"Xi Valley, Xi Valley, this is humanity's final trump card, the sole…… military force we have against extraterrestrial demons." The Chief Elder of the Xi lineage, his face somewhat off, glanced at the following Hidden Dragon elites.

"These past days, internal strife has roiled humanity; I feared humanity might change, so after much thought I sent people to stir the ancestors of Xi Valley…… I never expected, never expected that Xi Valley would, would…… be slaughtered!"

The Chief Elder of the Xi lineage trembled violently, his voice hoarse from exertion as he spoke of what he knew.

The essence of the Xi lineage lies entirely in Xi Valley; there is no doubt about that.

The highest-ranking Elder, the strongest ancestor, the most outstanding junior genius—all are in Xi Valley.

As for the main branch of the Xi lineage, they actually have little power; they merely handle the worship and cleaning of the ancestral shrine, manage the daily affairs of the clanspeople, and continuously select elite talents to send into Xi Valley.

Xi Valley's daily needs are not supplied by the Xi lineage, but are regularly transported from Wa Island.

Thus, only after Gong Sun Yao brought his army back after being flung from the Heavenly Crystal Battle Star, and after Ji Baijie looted the holy temple of the Xi lineage, did the Chief Elder of the Xi lineage cautiously send people to rush to Xi Valley to inform the ancestors there.

The Chief Elder's purpose is simple—if humanity truly falls into internal strife, for example if the Hidden Dragon Army rebels, if the Heavenly Court erupts in chaos, if Gong Sun Yao exhibits some strange behavior, with the ancestors of Xi Valley holding the fort, the Xi lineage will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai, and need not fear any harm to its interests.

But the confidant the Chief Elder sent back returned with news that nearly drove him mad.

Xi Valley had been utterly slaughtered clean; hundreds of women, leading nearly a million Gong Sun clan warriors, were digging the earth like planting radishes, burying the Xi lineage's mighty experts into the ground to refine them into corpses!

The messengers of the Xi lineage entered the depths of Xi Valley directly through its secret passage.

They moved cautiously, not disturbing the gentle women and Gong Sun clan members remaining in Xi Valley…… Thus they immediately detected the abnormality in Xi Valley, and directly used secret arts to transmit what they saw and heard to the Chief Elder.

The human militia rushed to Xi Valley at once.

Military formations were swiftly set up in the air, sealing off Xi Valley completely—no escape route remained in heaven, earth, or sea.

Wu Tie struck—just one blow—and the defensive divine array above Xi Valley was easily shattered, revealing the gruesome scene within.

Countless corpses in heavy armor were neatly stacked in Xi Valley; hundreds of gentle women gestured, directing nearly a million Gong Sun clan members originally tasked with transporting supplies to dig deep pits along the valley's ley lines, carefully burying each corpse.

The chieftains and Elders of the human militia trembled all over, their faces twisted and spasming, fear reaching its peak in their hearts.

They knew of Xi Valley's existence.

Within humanity, only these high-ranking, powerful figures were qualified to know of Xi Valley's existence; in the vast human race, those qualified to know of Xi Valley would never exceed ten thousand!

The human populace, with tens of thousands of big and small branches, countless great tribes split off, only the truly core, few-and-far-between major figures of the human populace were qualified to know of Xi Valley's existence.

This is the hidden military force humanity has prepared for the next full-scale invasion of extraterrestrial demons!

Xi Valley, which each year draws countless elites, countless materials and resources from humanity, consuming the entirety of human strength to sustain it!

"Heh, hehe, hehehe!" The chief elder of the Shennong clan shivered with a strange laugh: "Is this humanity's trump card? The Xi Valley where humanity's elites gather…… humanity's last hope……"

"Just like that, wiped out clean?" The chief elder of the Shennong clan roared hoarsely: "All the manpower and material we've invested over countless years, the blood and sweat of countless clans and countless citizens—have they all gone to feed dogs?"

"How could this be…… how could this be……" The chief elder of the Suiren clan, eyes blood-red, screamed hysterically: "No matter who is involved…… exterminate the clan, exterminate the clan……"

With a "puff," over a thousand high-ranking individuals present who knew of Xi Valley's existence and its significance to humanity spat out blood.

Heartache, heartache as if being wrung.

Resentment, anger soaring to the heavens.

Despair, the whole body turning icy cold.

Xi Valley, Xi Valley…… to humanity, this is undoubtedly the sky falling!

"Seize them, seize them!" The chief elder of the Zhuanxu clan jumped and shouted: "Take them all, don't let them have a chance to commit suicide…… seize them, seize them!"

Battalions of human warriors growled low, charging into Xi Valley with raging fury.

Hundreds of gentle women meticulously directing the work cried out in unison, seeing the human elites descending like dark clouds from the sky, they uniformly drew forth the projected avatars of murderous daggers and viciously stabbed them into their own foreheads.

But just as they drew their daggers, Wu Tie's immobilization spell struck down.

In the vast Xi Valley, hundreds of gentle women and nearly a million Gong Sun clan warriors were all immobilized on the ground, unable to move.

The human warriors, fierce as wolves and tigers, swarmed over them, in a few moves breaking their arms and legs, sealing their cultivation with various vicious secret arts, then binding them tightly with specially forged rune shackles.

The high-ranking members of the human populace, wiping blood from the corners of their mouths, led the charge into Xi Valley.

They identified each captured individual one by one, then each broke into a grim smile.

"These women are all from Wa Island…… ha, we've seen them beside the senior matriarchs…… those who didn't flee are all from Wa Island, backup grand matriarchs!"

"These people……" the nearly one million captured Gong Sun clan members gathered together.

Being of foreign affiliation, it was naturally hard to discern these people's origins, after all the Gong Sun clan is also an immensely powerful great tribe, possessing tens of billions of members.

However, a large contingent of Gong Sun clan Elders and members were present, and they immediately severed ties with Gong Sun Yao.

Under their identification, the identities of these people were quickly confirmed.

They were indeed members of the Gong Sun clan…… and the branch they belonged to was extremely close to that of Gong Sun Jun!
