You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Could it be that these three people all possess the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage?

The Qi family patriarch shook his head. Impossible. The entire Great Qin only had one late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. How could three appear all at once?

"Hehe! Alright, now everyone's here. You can get going. My master said he'd wipe out your entire family, even the chickens and dogs..."

Seeing that all the senior members of the Qi family had arrived, Lu Bing spoke up.

Zhao Yun and Guan Yu nodded, then launched a fierce attack, charging into the Qi family's crowd.

"Meet the enemy!"

When the Qi family patriarch realized that negotiations were impossible, he hurriedly shouted, but it was already too late.

Zhao Yun and Guan Yu had already charged into the crowd.

"what!"

"what!"

Screams rang out as these cultivators, whose highest level was only Nascent Soul, were utterly powerless against Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, their corpses falling one after another from the sky...

These corpses were either cleaved in two or had their throats pierced; their deaths were extremely gruesome. Even the Nascent Soul cultivators didn't have a chance to escape before being killed...

The dead can no longer die.

"Shuzi!"

The two Nascent Soul stage experts of the Qi family, the patriarch and the great ancestor, turned red with rage upon witnessing the slaughter of their clansmen...

They prepared to go and stop the two.

Where are you two headed?

Just then, Lu Bing came up to them and said with a smile.

"Step aside!"

Qi family patriarch was anxious to save his clansmen and did not want to get entangled with Lu Bing any longer, so he shouted angrily.

After saying that, he launched an attack, but Lu Bing easily caught it and even returned the blow...

This attack sent the Qi family's ancestor flying thousands of meters away.

The Qi family patriarch was pacing anxiously to the side, but he couldn't intervene. Even the Grand Ancestor, who was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, had been beaten into such a sorry state. If he, who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, went up there, wouldn't he just be offering himself up as food?

"Hongdao! Ask the Dark Pavilion for help!"

At this moment, the great ancestor of the Qi family transmitted his voice to the old ancestor of the Qi family, Qi Hongdao.

Upon hearing the Emperor's telepathic message, Qi Hongdao's face flashed with a hint of struggle. If he were to send reinforcements from the Dark Pavilion now, their relationship with the Dark Pavilion would be exposed, and then the entire Great Qin would have no place for the Qi family to hide...

After all, those assassins from the Dark Pavilion were universally hated and despised within the dynasties of the Xuanxing Domain...

However, if they hadn't contacted the Dark Pavilion, the Qi family probably wouldn't have survived until today...

A moment later, Qi Hongdao made up his mind. He put his right hand behind his back, and a black token appeared in his hand. Then he crushed the token violently...

An invisible wave rippled outwards...

"Let's attack together, hold him off, and wait for the Dark Pavilion's reinforcements..."

The ancestor of the Qi family came to Qi Hongdao's side and said with a solemn expression.

Qi Hongdao nodded, and then together with the Qi family patriarch, they charged towards Lu Bing.

Lu Bing had already sensed the strange fluctuation when Qi Hongdao crushed the token, but he didn't stop him; instead, a strange smile appeared on his face...

Before long, a great battle erupted in the sky, its aftershocks spreading in all directions. The Qi family below suffered the consequences. Although there were some magical formations in place, the aftershocks of a battle between Nascent Soul stage experts were not so easily withstood...

The Qi family's houses collapsed in large numbers, and countless clansmen perished, a stark contrast to their previous splendor...

...................

"What exactly happened to the Qi family?"

"Sounds and roars have been coming from here since just now!"

"Hmph! Who knows! Maybe he offended someone!"

"It would be best to kill everyone in the Qi family!"

"Over the years, the Qi family has bullied men and women, committing all sorts of evil deeds. Perhaps even Heaven couldn't stand it anymore!"

"..."

The Qi family's actions had already sparked much discussion among the people of Tianqi City, but most of the comments were curses against the Qi family, hoping for their complete annihilation...

This shows just how unpopular the Qi family is in Tianqi City...

Some people wanted to enter the Qi family compound to check on the situation, but they were all blocked by a transparent barrier and couldn't get in at all. They could only anxiously wait outside, and of course, those inside couldn't get out either...

Qi family.

The Qi family's top brass had been completely slaughtered. Zhao Yun and Guan Yu stood in the air watching Lu Bing mock Qi Hongdao and the Qi family's patriarch...

Both Qi Hongdao and the Qi family's ancestor were covered in large and small knife wounds, from which bright red blood gushed out...

Their bodies swayed precariously, as if they would collapse to the ground at any moment.

They looked down at the destroyed Qi family compound and the corpses of their clansmen scattered everywhere, a trace of undisguised sorrow flashing in their eyes.

"Even as a ghost, I will not let you go..."

Qi Hongdao glared at the three of them with resentment and said through gritted teeth.

"Heh, you'd have to be qualified to become a ghost first!"

Lu Bing remained smiling, standing there calmly.

"what!"

"Hongdao, you must leave quickly. You must preserve a bloodline for my Qi family..."

The Qi family's patriarch roared and charged towards Lu Bing, his spiritual energy surging and his blood and qi surging, cracks appearing all over his body...

"Emperor Taizu!"

Qi Hongdao shouted anxiously.

Seeing his ancestor charging towards Lu Bing and the other two, he couldn't let his ancestor down. He quickly turned and flew away into the distance. He had to survive; only then could he avenge himself...

"Damn the Dark Pavilion, why haven't they arrived yet?"

Qi Hongdao complained as he fled.

"Oh? Self-destruct?"

Lu Bing watched this scene, and a rare hint of seriousness appeared on his face, but it was only a hint.

The self-destruction of a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert is enough to threaten an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul expert...

But he's no ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

He slightly opened his palm, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted, immobilizing the Qi family's ancestor and preventing him from taking another step forward...

Boom~~

A deafening roar erupted, and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The powerful shockwave destroyed the surrounding barriers, and Qi Hongdao seized the opportunity to rush out.

"Look! Someone flew out of the Qi family's house!"

Outside the Qi residence, among the onlookers, one of them saw Qi Hongdao fly out and shouted loudly.

Everyone around looked up and saw Qi Hongdao flying out, covered in blood.

He dared not linger for even a moment and rushed off into the distance.

"That person looks familiar, like I've seen them somewhere before..."

A commoner watched Qi Hongdao fly away and asked in confusion.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, as if he had just realized something, he gasped and exclaimed in shock, "That's Qi Hongdao, the patriarch of the Qi family, a powerful expert at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

"What, Qi Hongdao?"

"Impossible! You must be mistaken. The Qi family patriarch is a Nascent Soul expert! Who could beat him like this..."

"Impossible, I'm absolutely not mistaken, I'd recognize his face even if he were ashes..."

The commoner said through gritted teeth.

Those around shook their heads upon seeing this; it seemed he was also a victim of persecution by the Qi family!

Just as the people outside were discussing this, a streak of light flew out from inside the Qi family home and headed towards Qi Hongdao.

Pfft~~

The streak of light quickly caught up with Qi Hongdao and then pierced through his head...

The primordial spirit was also annihilated...

Qi Hongdao's pupils gradually dilated, then completely lost their light, and he slowly fell from the sky...

"The Qi family patriarch is dead?"

Those around who witnessed this scene all had their pupils shrink in shock.

Qi Jia Nei.

Lu Bing slowly withdrew his hand, expressionless, and looked at Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, saying, "Generals, it seems the Dark Guard isn't coming. We'll have to make another trip..."

"It's alright! It just takes a little more time!" Guan Yu said nonchalantly.

Zhao Yun nodded as well.

"Alright! Let's set off now!"

Lu Bing nodded, then waved his hand, and countless streams of light flew out from the Qi family below. All of these streams of light were collected into Lu Bing's storage ring...

These are all resources of the Qi family. The Qi family has accumulated wealth over thousands of years, and now it has all benefited Ying Chen...

Then, the three flew outside. Before leaving, Lu Bing swung his palm, and a huge palm print appeared in the sky, heading straight for the Qi family.

A moment later, all was quiet; the entire Qi family had completely vanished from Tianqi City...
