Chapter 97: Extermination

"According to Ximen Guang's records, the entrance to this Precious Realm is this cave, but this entrance is a bit special. It only opens at specific times, and when it opens, it erupts with a strange flame. Only those who can resist this flame can enter. Let's wait a moment," Zhuge Tianxin said upon arriving at the entrance of the Precious Realm.

Teyi City, the Ximen family.

"Trash, all of you are trash! Even now, you haven't been able to find out a single piece of news. Get out! Get out and keep searching!" Sitting in the family head's seat, Ximen Yu flew into a rage at the trembling servants kneeling on the ground.

"What has made the Ximen family head so angry? Why not tell me and let me, your younger brother, help you solve it?" Just as Ximen Yu was raging, the voice of a middle-aged man suddenly came from outside the door, and a group of people walked in at the same time.

"Jiang Hua, why are you here? I have matters to attend to and cannot entertain you, so please return. When I am finished with my affairs, I will certainly host a grand banquet to apologize." Ximen Yu was in the heat of anger, but the person who arrived was a Rank 3 Mind User, one rank higher than him. Furthermore, Ximen Guang had been pursuing Zhuge Tianxin and the others and had not yet returned, nor had he sent back any news, so Ximen Yu did not lash out on the spot.

"Is the matter the Ximen family head speaks of related to news of the old family head, Senior Ximen Guang? If it is this matter, then there is no need to go to such trouble. I know where the old family head Ximen Guang is," Jiang Hua said sincerely, as if he had come specifically to tell Ximen Yu about Ximen Guang.

However, Ximen Yu knew that Jiang Hua's arrival this time was definitely ill-intentioned, but he was currently weak and could not lash out. He suppressed his anger and replied, "I appreciate the kindness of Family Head Jiang Hua, but my father is perfectly fine and is currently in seclusion for cultivation. The reason I am angry is that my son was killed previously, and I have yet to find the culprit, not because of the news about my father that Family Head Jiang Hua speaks of."

"Hmph, Ximen Yu, stop pretending. The old dog Ximen Guang is already dead. Men, bring up Ximen Guang's corpse and let our family head Ximen Yu take a good look." But Ximen Yu not lashing out did not mean Jiang Hua would not. After all, he had come to the Ximen family this time specifically to exterminate them.

After Jiang Hua finished speaking, someone from outside the door carried in a stretcher. Although the object on the stretcher was covered by a white cloth and it was impossible to tell who it was, it could be seen that it was a person.

Seeing what was brought in, Ximen Yu's heart skipped a beat.

*Pfft—*, Jiang Hua reached out and pulled off the white cloth covering the stretcher.

"Father." "Old Family Head." "It really is the Old Family Head." "This... what should we do?" As Jiang Hua pulled off the white cloth, the true face of the person on the stretcher appeared before everyone. It was indeed the deceased Ximen Guang. Although Ximen Guang was now skin and bones due to Evil Transformation, his features were still recognizable, and black Qi was still rising from his body, clearly showing the aftereffects of the Evil Transformation. This left everyone from the Ximen family present at a loss.

"Ximen Yu, take a good look. Is this the old dog Ximen Guang?" Seeing Ximen Yu and the Ximen family members at a loss, Jiang Hua was very pleased.

"What exactly do you want?" Ximen Yu began to panic after seeing Ximen Guang's corpse, but having been a family head for many years, he still possessed the necessary mettle. After a brief moment of loss of composure, he immediately reacted.

"What do I want? When your son Ximen Qing caused my daughter's death, I swore before my daughter's grave that I would uproot your Ximen family and kill every last one of you," Jiang Hua said loudly. "Back then, your son, seeing my daughter's beauty, plotted to defile her, causing my daughter to commit suicide because she lost her purity. I came to your house to demand an explanation, but not only did you not hand over your son who deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces, but I was also injured by Ximen Guang. If my father hadn't arrived in time, I would have been buried by your hands. Now that the old dog Ximen Guang is dead, I have come here to fulfill the promise I made to my daughter."

"Father, why say so much to this old dog? Just kill him directly. Today, not a single person from the Ximen family will be left alive." At this moment, the young man who had been standing behind Jiang Hua spoke. After speaking, he erupted with a burst of Mind Power; he was clearly a Rank 3 Mind User.

"I didn't expect even you to have reached Rank 3. Hmph, do you think that just because you have both reached Rank 3, you can be arrogant in our Ximen family? I have already notified my father's friend, Senior Lu Ju. With his Rank 7 strength, he will arrive soon. You can try to touch our Ximen family if you dare," Ximen Yu said toughly.

"Hahahaha—," Jiang Hua laughed loudly upon hearing Ximen Yu's words, then said, "Pitiful, even now you are still thinking of Lu Ju coming to save you. I can tell you, it was his notification that led us to find the old dog Ximen Guang's corpse. Hahahaha—."

"What? Impossible! Senior Lu Ju is my father's friend; it is impossible for him to cooperate with your Jiang family!" Ximen Yu roared loudly after hearing Jiang Hua's words.

"Hahaha, the only reason Lu Ju became friends with the old dog Ximen Guang was for the Precious Realm map on him. A few days ago, the old dog Ximen Guang already told Lu Ju the entrance to the Precious Realm. Now that the old dog Ximen Guang is dead, do you think Lu Ju will still help your Ximen family?" Jiang Hua laughed and said, seeing that Ximen Yu still held a glimmer of hope for Lu Ju, completely shattering Ximen Yu's last shred of hope.

"No, I don't believe it! I will kill you, I will kill all of you!" Ximen Yu's last hope was shattered. He roared in madness, then erupted with his strength, drew his sword, and charged at Jiang Hua.

"Hmph, overestimating your own strength." Jiang Hua did not move, but the young man behind him rushed in front of Jiang Hua, blocked Ximen Yu's attack with a sword, and then kicked Ximen Yu in the chest, sending him flying.

*Boom*, Ximen Yu was kicked and crashed into the tables and chairs behind him, smashing them, and then stopped only after hitting the room's wall, vomiting blood.

"Hahahaha—, you all must die." After being kicked away by the young man, Ximen Yu sat slumped on the ground, laughing and saying, then took out a black pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Not good, that's an Evil Transformation pill! Don't let him undergo Evil Transformation, kill him immediately!" Seeing Ximen Yu take out the black pill and eat it, Jiang Hua shouted, then immediately drew his sword and charged at Ximen Yu, thrusting his sword toward Ximen Yu's chest.

*Pfft*, Jiang Hua's sword pierced directly through Ximen Yu's chest, but when Jiang Hua wanted to pull out his sword to continue attacking Ximen Yu, the sword was gripped tightly by Ximen Yu and could not be pulled out at all.

"Father, move aside." At this moment, the young man behind Jiang Hua also rushed up and shouted loudly.

Hearing his son's words, Jiang Hua immediately released the sword in his hand and dodged to the side.

"Old dog Ximen Yu, go to hell." The young man rushed in front of Ximen Yu, and with a swing of his sword, he cut off Ximen Yu's head.

*Thump*, after Ximen Yu's head was cut off by the young man, it first flew up and then fell to the ground.

"Hahahaha—, Xue'er, my good daughter, do you see this? Father has finally avenged you. Watch, I will kill every single person in the Ximen family and let them be buried with you." Seeing Ximen Yu killed by his son, Jiang Hua said happily.

"Everyone listen, kill every single person in the Ximen family, not one left alive." Jiang Hua gave the order.

"Yes," the people Jiang Hua brought replied.

*Ah... *, "No, don't kill me," "I am innocent, don't kill me," "Please, don't kill me,"......, screams and pleas for mercy rose one after another.

"Father, all one hundred and thirty-seven members of the Ximen family, except for those who have not returned, have all been killed. All direct relatives of Ximen Yu, Ximen Guang, and Ximen Qing are here; not a single one escaped." About an hour later, the young man returned with a dripping sword and reported to Jiang Hua.

"Good, very good. Tell the men to empty the Ximen family's warehouse, take everything that can be taken, and then burn the Ximen family to the ground," Jiang Hua said.

"Yes," the young man replied.

*Crackle, crackle—*, Jiang Hua and the others exterminated the Ximen family, and after leaving, they set fire to the Ximen family, the great fire burning the entire Ximen family to ashes.

From then on, the Ximen family was exterminated and disappeared from Teyi City. ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
