Chapter 275: If You Kill, You Must Kill Thoroughly!
Chapter 275: If You Kill, You Must Kill Thoroughly!
At this time, Feng Xuan’s eyes fell on the dozen people kneeling in the center of the hall.
At the forefront were none other than Feng Baozhao’s lineage, including two Nascent Soul elders.
The second elder, Feng Li, and the third elder, Feng Yunsheng.
Feng Li’s aura was still weak, his power still sealed by Feng Xuan.
His face was calm, he had already accepted his fate, and there was no more struggle.
But Feng Yunsheng’s eyes were filled with anxiety.
Although he was from Feng Baozhao’s lineage, due to being punished by the Great Elder to kneel in the ancestral hall, he had not participated in many of the subsequent events of Feng Baozhao’s lineage.
He considered himself to have only helped Feng Baozhao’s lineage in their struggle for family power before, and always wanted to support Feng Baozhao as the true new head of the family.
But he had never done anything that harmed the foundation of the family.
Therefore, in his view, his death should be forgiven.As for the ten or so Golden Core cultivators behind the two Nascent Soul cultivators, they were trembling with fear.
But under the solemn atmosphere of the grand hall, they dared not beg for mercy.
Feng Xuan then turned his gaze to the Alchemist Association and Su Jingzhen.
“Vice President Ouyang, Friend Su, today my Feng family will be dealing with these family matters.
It’s a shame to let the Alchemist Association and the Evil Moon Sect see this.
However, inviting both of you here is also a way to bear witness!
Today, my Feng family cleanses the internal parasites, and with your two parties as witnesses, it is also a warning to the remaining disciples of the Feng family!”
As he spoke, Feng Xuan’s expression was serious, and then he stood up directly.
Immediately, the Great Elder, the Sixth Elder, Feng Qingya, and the remaining core figures of the Feng family all stood up.
They all bowed their fists to Su Jingzhen and everyone from the Alchemist Association.
This action clearly demonstrated his seriousness about the matter.
The more solemn Feng Xuan and the others were, the more fearful the kneeling figures became.
However, many people in the grand hall looked at Su Jingzhen with astonishment when they heard Feng Xuan’s words.
Many of them were hearing for the first time that Su Jingzhen was from the Evil Moon Sect.
And being able to represent the Evil Moon Sect, his status must also be high.
After doing all this, Feng Xuan’s gaze finally fell on Feng Li and the others again.
“The Feng family has always allowed internal competition, after all, any force, any family, has vitality through competition.
But it absolutely does not allow anyone to destroy the foundation of the Feng family!
You are all core members of Feng Baozhao’s lineage. What do you have to say about this matter?”
As he spoke, Feng Xuan’s tone was calm, but it carried an unparalleled majesty.
And the aura of a cultivator at the Soul Formation stage had already spread from him, directly pressing down on the dozen or so people kneeling.
What did it mean to destroy the foundation of the Feng family?
Feng Baozhao and Feng Mingyan dared to send assassins directly into Feng Xuan’s seclusion, to attack Su Jingzhen and his party who were there to detoxify him.
This could also be considered an indirect attempt to kill Feng Xuan.
And Feng Xuan was the one who was supporting the Feng family’s luck.
If he, Feng Xuan, fell, the Feng family’s foundation would be completely gone!
At that time, it would only be able to become a complete vassal of the Tobo family.
This was one!
Second, he had already found out that the death of the previous head of the family, Feng Botao, who was also Feng Qingya’s father, was also inseparable from Feng Baozhao’s lineage!
And Feng Botao had once been one of the pillars of the Feng family.
Now that Feng Qingya, as the Feng family’s direct and outstanding disciple, and as Feng Botao’s orphan, was also being suppressed and even persecuted by Feng Baozhao’s lineage.
Either way, it had already exceeded Feng Xuan’s bottom line.
As soon as he said this, Feng Li, who was kneeling in the hall, sneered.
“The Feng family only has a few Nascent Souls, and now Feng Baozhao and the others have already run away. If you kill me and the third elder, wouldn’t that be destroying the foundation of the Feng family? Wouldn’t that contradict your words?”
There was a hint of mockery in his words.
At this point, he was somewhat resigned to his fate.
As soon as he said this, Feng Xuan sneered again.
“You? Foundation?
Let me make it clear to you, the foundation of the Feng family is in me!
It’s in those promising juniors!
Not in you kind of waste who consume the Feng family’s resources but only know how to fight for power, grab benefits, scheme and plot, and can no longer make progress!
As long as I am alive, killing you will have no impact on the Feng family!”
As soon as Feng Xuan said this, the hall fell silent again.
At this moment, Feng Yunsheng, the third elder next to Feng Li, could no longer bear the pressure.
“Ancestor, I didn’t participate in Feng Baozhao’s subsequent plans.
Although I did have my heart set on Feng Baozhao before, it was only because I hoped that the Feng family would have someone to lead it.
If I had known they were actually trying to sabotage your seclusion, I would never have stood on his side!
I beg you to understand, Ancestor!”
He had already seen that the second elder, Feng Li, had completely given up and was ready to die.
But he didn’t want to go down the same path as Feng Li. He still wanted to live.
As soon as the third elder said this, Feng Xuan slapped him across the air.
His body flew out horizontally.
He spat out a mouthful of old blood and crashed heavily onto the floor of the hall.
“You are indeed not guilty of death, and your performance yesterday was still commendable.
But from now on, this seat will sentence you to guard the Feng family ancestral hall!
From now on, your life will no longer be your own, but belong to the Feng family!
I will keep your cultivation intact, and when the Feng family is in danger, you will sacrifice yourself for the Feng family!
If there is peace and prosperity, you will repent before the ancestors of the Feng family in the ancestral hall!”
After a pause, Feng Xuan said again: “And don’t even think about running away, this seat will plant a spirit mark on you!
I can take your life at any time!”
Hearing Feng Xuan’s words, the third elder’s expression showed a hint of surprise.
This was a death sentence that could be avoided, but a living sentence that was hard to escape!
But it was already the best outcome he could hope for.
“Thank you, Ancestor, for your grace!”
The third elder, Feng Yunsheng, immediately kowtowed to Feng Xuan in gratitude.
Feng Xuan ignored him and turned his gaze to Feng Li and the others.
“Where is Feng Lie?”
Feng Xuan shouted loudly, and the Great Elder Feng Lie immediately stood in front of him.
“Feng Lie is here!”
Feng Xuan said again: “Drag them all out and kill them!
The Feng family does not need such unfilial descendants. They are not allowed to be buried in the Feng family cemetery after death!
All the disciples and their families of the branches behind them will be expelled from the Feng family!
As for Feng Baozhao and the others who are still at large, their families will also be expelled from the Feng family!”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Great Elder, the Sixth Elder, and everyone in the hall changed.
They hadn’t expected Feng Xuan to be so decisive.
“Ancestor, spare my life!”
“Ancestor, please forgive us this time, leave us alive, we will be useful, and when the Feng family is in danger, we will be at the forefront!”
“Ancestor, show mercy!”
“…”
Except for Feng Li, most of the people kneeling here still had great expectations in their hearts.
When they were brought back, they were not executed on the spot.
They had originally thought they would also receive the same fate as the third elder, Feng Yunsheng, a death sentence that could be avoided, but a living sentence that was hard to escape.
They hadn’t expected the ancestor to execute them in front of everyone.
Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at Feng Xuan.
He looked at the old man with a newfound respect.
Having lived two lives, he understood many things.
He knew that the Feng family was already sick, and it was a serious illness.
Only by making such a drastic purge and kicking out all the corrupt elements could the Feng family have a real chance of rising again.
If they were still hesitant and unwilling to part with these former clan members at this point, then the events of before would inevitably be repeated in the future.
Hearing Feng Xuan’s words, Feng Lie hesitated slightly.
But before he could speak, Feng Xuan said: “There is no need for any questioning, execute immediately!”
In the cultivation world, strength is paramount, and those with greater strength naturally have the right to life and death.
Especially since Feng Xuan was their ancestor, it was even more so.
As soon as these words came out, Feng Lie showed no further hesitation.
He nodded to the Sixth Elder Feng Hua, and then the two of them took action, dragging the dozen or so people kneeling on the ground outside the grand hall.
The strongest Feng Li had already had his strength sealed by Feng Xuan, and the rest had no way to resist.
“Feng Xuan, you are acting against the heavens!
After our deaths, the Feng family’s luck will surely be cut off, and the Feng family is destined to fall!”
“The Feng family is finished, Feng Xuan, Feng Lie, we’ll be waiting for you down below!”
“…”
There is great terror between life and death, but it also evokes endless courage.
Since they were going to die anyway, many people began to curse at Feng Xuan and Feng Lie.
But before they could utter a few words, they were slapped to death by Feng Lie and Feng Hua.
Soon, only Feng Li, who still had a calm face, remained.
He didn’t curse, but his eyes were fixed on Feng Xuan in the grand hall.
At this point, Feng Li’s eyes no longer held any hatred.
Instead, they were filled with memories and feelings.
From the moment Feng Li was severely injured by Feng Xuan yesterday, he had already accepted his fate.
He had already cursed as much as he wanted to.
The next moment, before Feng Lie could make a move, a mouthful of blood suddenly gushed from the corner of his mouth.
He had already severed his heart meridian and died.
Seeing Feng Li fall, the many Feng family members in the hall, as well as the Alchemist Association members, all felt a deep sense of emotion.
Just two days ago, Feng Li was leading the alchemist convention, but now he was already dead.
As expected, life and death are impermanent!
After slaughtering this group of people, Feng Lie dispatched numerous Feng family collateral disciples to continue executing Feng Xuan’s orders.
They were to expel the families and disciples of the branch aligned with Feng Baozhao from the Feng family.
Since Feng Xuan had already decided to conduct a major bloodletting for the Feng family, there was naturally no room for hesitation.
Looking at the corpses strewn across the ground, Su Jingzhen felt a surge of emotion once again.
This was just an internal cleansing within a family, yet it reflected the cruelty of the cultivation world even more vividly.
Regardless of their proximity, these Feng family members were all related by blood, and they could be so ruthless.
To outsiders, the level of cruelty would be even more unimaginable.
After the Feng family disciples dragged away the bodies of Feng Lie and the others, Feng Xuan returned to his seat.
Su Jingzhen, sitting close to him, could sense that although Feng Xuan’s aura was still powerful, there was a hint of weariness.
As the patriarch, who would willingly slaughter their own descendants unless driven to desperation?
However, Su Jingzhen also knew that after this purge, the Feng family’s overall strength would undoubtedly weaken.
But with Feng Xuan’s strength, he could stabilize the current foundation. After this iron-fisted suppression, their cohesion would be stronger, and the future of the Feng family was bound to reach new heights!
When Feng Lie and Feng Yunsheng returned to the main hall, Feng Xuan spoke again: “From this moment onwards, issue a Feng family hunting order!
Hunt down all those who fled from Feng Baozhao’s lineage!
Anyone who encounters a core member of Feng Baozhao’s lineage need not report, kill them without mercy!
You can exchange heads for family contribution points and receive rewards!”
Since the killing had begun, they would eradicate Feng Baozhao’s lineage completely!
