All the Tai Cang realm experts present also felt a sudden chill in their hearts…… The Wu family's old ancestor could forcibly rescue someone without a sound or trace, so naturally he could also kill someone without a sound or trace.

Well, the second sentence is pure nonsense.

That invisible blade is still pressed against everyone's neck.

The Wu family elder in the coffin let out a soft sigh: "Wu Tie baby, huh, is it you? Little guy, you look fine, worthy of being my descendant—standing among the crowd, you're so handsome and suave, just like my old self… Look at those guys beside you, each with a weasel-headed, rat-eyed look; obviously they're no good."

Wu Tie blinked his eyes.

He glanced at the people around him—five Mr. Mu, plus over a hundred experts from the regular troops… Besides them, the only one close in age and appearance to him is Luo Lin!

Luo Lin looks weasel-headed and rat-eyed—no good seed?

Uh, that remark basically cursed the entire Xi clan.

However, hearing that made Wu Tie overjoyed. Just moments ago, when everyone pointed at him, he was filled with anger and resentment, but now he feels like, under the scorching summer sun, he suddenly ate a whole bucket of ice cream—his heart brimming with indescribable comfort and coolness.

"Elder, please, elder, make things right for me." Wu Tie let out a soft sigh: "I unintentionally discovered…"

"No more nonsense—I'll have the elder go and argue with those who truly have a say."

The Wu family elder interrupted Wu Tie's words: "Some things need no explanation… Even if they did, with so many idiots here, what's the point of explaining to them? Is it useful? No…"

"I can understand that they suddenly lost many elite clansmen, filling their hearts with anger. But no matter how much I comprehend their rage overwhelming them, causing them to temporarily lose their judgment…"

"I cannot forgive them for daring to band together and besiege my Wu family's youths—this 'crime'."

"So this matter isn't over… I'll go one by one to find their parents and argue with them, hum."

"So you don't need to explain anything to them—Is it worth it? Is it meaningful? What's the point of wearing out your lips talking to them? Do you need them to understand? Do you need their forgiveness? Do you need them to think highly of you?"

"If you don't need that, why explain anything to them?"

"Do what you want to do… As long as you don't do evil, even if the sky falls, the Wu family will back you up—what do you have to fear?"

"Go ahead, tell me what you want to do now—just do it. The elder is here to back you up, so just do what you want. Don't be afraid; even if a few old geezers from the Great Jin show up, they can only stand aside and watch."

"I'm standing here, so you have the right to be lawless, you have the right to do as you please!"

Exhilarating and unrestrained, recklessly bold!

The Wu family elder's words were harsh and cruel, yet… they were truly exhilarating.

Wu Tie then smiled, slowly putting away the Reincarnation Tower.

The Reincarnation Tower trembled, and Old Iron howled 'ao ao' as he emerged, stared at the coffin for a while, then barked three times: "The kid in that coffin's not bad, heh, I like him."

The whole place fell dead silent—including the Xing Tian eel and the Xuan Ming butterfly—fixed Old Iron with a look that said 'you're dead.'

Yet the Wu family elder in the coffin showed no big reaction; he merely let out a doubtful little gasp.

Wu Tie paid no heed to those; he set down the Reincarnation Tower, grabbed the White Tiger Cleave, and stared hard at the deathly pale Luo Lin: "You're not a good person, are you?"

Luo Lin's body trembled, unable to speak.

Wu Tie thrust his spear through his chest; the Soul-Scattering Banner above his head swayed, and Luo Lin's soul was sucked in.

Seven Big Dipper Soul-Slaying Swords crisscrossed, rolled into the banner, and Luo Lin's soul exploded into fragments—true soul and spirit scattered. Wu Tie hated what Luo Lin had done; he struck mercilessly, giving him not even a chance for true spirit reincarnation.

"You too." Wu Tie looked at Mr. Mu: "You've made that kind of deal many times, right?"

Mr. Mu's body also trembled violently, but he clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Wu Tie fired five shots in succession, killing the five Mr. Mu.

Five Peak Fetal Storage realm souls, nearly indistinguishable from those of the living, were swallowed by the Soul-Scattering Banner; the Big Dipper Soul-Slaying Sword gradually sliced away their soul fragments, and the banner instantly blazed with light, its power and aura surging forward at a speed perceptible to outsiders.

Wu Tie also approached each of the over a hundred Fetal Storage realm commanders who had besieged him, shooting them one by one to take their souls.

These guys, sent by the Xi Qi Sect to besiege Wu Tie, weren't afraid he'd shout out deadly secrets… Clearly, they are Xi Qi's confidants, each knowing some of the shameful things Xi Qi does.

If so, there's no need to keep them alive.

Taking their souls to refine the Soul-Scattering Banner, Wu Tie felt no psychological pressure at all.

Under everyone's gaze, Wu Tie suddenly leapt up.

He turned into a golden light and crashed down beside the blood-soaked Xi Qi a thousand li away, lowering his gaze to overlook the bottom of the great pit, where Xi Qi lay sprawled, unable to move.

"Marshal Qi?" Wu Tie looked at Xi Qi.

"You little bastard." Xi Qi spat a mouthful of blood, his eyes wild as he glared at Wu Tie, then screamed hoarsely: "I won't accept it, I won't accept it… you guys, you don't follow the rules… you guys, you've dragged out this old monster… you guys, it's not right!"

Wu Tie looked at Xi Qi, amused.

No rules?

Not proper?

Heh, you used your marshal's authority to collude with the Great Jin and with You Ruo and others, framing Wu Tie and the Wu family—how could you not talk about rules then?

Actually, everyone does the same—bullying others with power and influence.

Put bluntly, it's cruel, but this damned world… is nothing more than the law of the jungle.

Few can retain even a shred of original heart, a bit of kindness—but that sliver of conscience, that mote of goodness, in this boundlessly cruel world, is so feeble.

"Can I kill him?" Wu Tie suddenly roared.

"I said you can do whatever you want." The Wu family elder in the coffin spoke softly.

Wu Tie raised the White Tiger Cleave.

Xi Qi screamed shrilly, his whole body trembling as he tried to resist.

But that blow just now had already shattered his limbs and bones; he was powerless to resist.

The White Tiger Cleave plunged down fiercely.

A roar of exhilarating tiger shook heaven and earth.
