Chapter 2491: Chapter 2465: Bloodbath (Part 5) Chapter 2491: Chapter 2465: Bloodbath (Part 5) In the square, a temporary platform had been erected, surrounded by stacks of pitch-black kindling. This kindling, made from the dead branches of Black Soul Wood, was very suitable as fuel for Soul Fire!
And there stood Lin Yaqin, right below the platform. Beside her, several disciples of the Great Void level were guarding her!
Lin Yaqinâs spiritual energy was sealed, her complexion pale. She had sustained internal injuries from repeated attempts to break through the seal and a trace of blood lingered at the corner of her mouth. Standing below the platform, she looked pityingly fragile.
Yet, at this moment, the disciples of the Shenxuan Sect merely watched in silence, most of them with hardly any emotion on their faces.
Soon, a procession of figures emerged from the gate of Shenxuan Sectâs grand hall, making their way towards the platform.
Master Shen Yong of the Shenxuan Sect, the sage-like old man Lin Jiu, the elders Guo Tai and Xu Mengqiu arrived above the square.
Their faces were incomparably grim, even saddened and resentful.
Lin Yaqin was the holy maiden of the Shenxuan Sect, possessing an Innate Killing Aura and unfathomable potential. She was the hope for the sectâs rise, and they had invested countless resources in her!
But now, she was to dieâbecause of a mere word from the Lei Family, and they were the ones who had to execute her with cruel torture!
How could they not be filled with sorrow and indignation?
But what use were sorrow and indignation?
In the Divine Kingdom, there is a saying that âpower just one level higher is akin to supremacy over heaven!â
What does it mean?
It means, if one force is stronger than another, even if only by a single level, the difference is as vast as that between heaven and earth!
And how does the Shenxuan Sect compare to the Lei Family?
They are two whole levels apart!
What grounds does the Shenxuan Sect have for resentment?
Let alone resentment, Master Shen Yong even had to don a subservient smile in front of the Lei Family members!
Fearing that they might vent their anger on the entire Shenxuan Sect!
He had absolutely no room for resistance!
Even if the Shenxuan Sect fought with all their might, what could they do? The Lei Family could crush the Shenxuan Sect with just one hand!
This would only result in the senseless destruction of the entire sect!
And the Third Elder Xu Mengqiu, the master of Lin Yaqin, at this moment, had an expression seemingly the calmest among the crowd.
However, her eyes lacked even the slightest hint of luster, completely dimmed!
There is no greater sorrow than the death of a heart!
Xu Mengqiuâs tears had dried up, plunging her into utter despair. She was completely dazed.
Lin Yaqin was her personally raised disciple. Xu Mengqiu had no children of her own, and Lin Yaqin was like her biological daughter!
The reason why the sect master, the sage-like old man and the elders had such heavy hearts mainly stemmed from the loss to the sect and the damage to the Shenxuan Sectâs reputation, but Xu Mengqiuâs feelings were differentâŠ
It was from the depths of her heartâŠ
If she could save Lin Yaqin, she would not hesitate to sacrifice her own life.
But in front of the Lei Family, what was Xu Mengqiu? She was just a martial artist at the Great Void Peak. Even if she exhausted all her efforts, it would just be suicide, a meaningless death.
So, all she could do was to despair.
Next to the platform, there were several seats set up like a spectator section, with a table in front of them laid with Spiritual Tea and spiritual fruits.
This was prepared at the Lei Familyâs request.
They were planning to treat it like watching a performance, enjoying the sight of Lin Yaqin dying in torment!
At this moment, several powerful auras rose from the east of Shenxuan Sect.
A disciple of Shenxuan Sect shouted loudly, âDistinguished guests of the Lei Family have arrived!â
The next moment, more than a dozen figures landed within Shenxuan Sect.
Leading them was a middle-aged man dressed in a gold brocade robe patterned with coin motifs, wearing a massive Half-step Ancient Artifact ring, of a somewhat gaunt build, sporting a goatee, with prominent cheekbones, a sharp chin, and shifty eyes.
This person was none other than Lei Youwei, the Lei Family Patriarch!
Donât be fooled by his unprepossessing appearance; his strength was genuinely at the Disaster Slaying realm!
Following him were other members of the Lei Family and several servants.
What was horrifying was that even the weakest and lowest-level individuals among them were beings of the Great Void realm!
Those of Great Void existence have already the qualifications to become true disciples within Shenxuan Sect!
But what about within the Lei Family?
They had even more in number!
All disciples of Shenxuan Sect changed their expressions slightly, feeling the might of the Lei Family from the depths of their hearts!
However, what stood out the most was that these people from the Lei Family were actually carrying a large red bed!
Lying on the red bed was a young man whose face was bloodless, breath faint, unconscious.
This person was Lei Yunpeng!
Moreover, Lei Yunpeng was dressed in a wedding outfit!
Shen Yong and others quickly repressed the anger, gloom, and other emotions in their eyes, not daring to show the slightest bit, and instead greeted with a forced smile, âLei Family Head, have you arrived?â
In the face of the welcome from Shen Yong and others, Lei Youwei didnât even bother to respond and went straight to the foremost seat beside the high platform, picked up Spiritual Tea, and leisurely savored a sip.
Shen Yong and the others had embarrassed expressions but could only stand to the side with smiling faces.
After quite a while, Lei Youwei finally put down his teacup, glanced at Shen Yong and the disciples of Shenxuan Sect, and let out a disdainful cold laugh, âIs this the Shenxuan Sect? Are you Shen Yong, the sect master of Shenxuan Sect?â
Sweat broke out on Forehead of Shen Yong, who barely managed a smile and said, âThatâs indeed me.â
All of a sudden, Lei Youwei said indifferently, âMaster Shen, with such grandeur today, why donât you let the disciples of Shenxuan Sect come out and witness this too?â
What?
Shen Yong was slightly stunned, looking at the disciples on the plaza. Werenât the disciples of Shenxuan Sect right here?
What did Lei Youwei mean?
However, he still answered stiffly, âLei Family Head, those on the plaza are indeed the disciples of our Shenxuan SectâŠâ
Lei Youwei glanced playfully at the crowd on the plaza, and with a shrill laugh said, âOh? Is that so? How come I donât see them? What I see areâjust a bunch of trash!â
Shen Yong, the sage-like old man, the elder, and all disciples of Shenxuan Sect had their expressions stiffen!
This Lei Family, they were pushing things too far!
They didnât give any face at all, and started with direct ridicule!
And there wasnât even the slightest hint of subterfuge!
Anger rose in the hearts of everyone, but what could they do?
They only bowed their heads even lower, almost burying them at their own feet!
Even Shen Yong managed to squeeze out a smile, appeasingly saying, âLei Family Head, your lesson is well taken, Shen has learned his lessonâŠâ
Not only did they not dare to show any dissatisfaction or retort, having been slapped in the face, they even had to offer the other cheek!
Lei Youwei gave a cold laugh and said, âYouâre sensible enough, showing some awareness, otherwise, just based on how you, Shen Yong, teach your disciples, allowing your Shenxuan Sect to seriously injure my son, the Lei Family would have already blood-washed your Shenxuan Sect!â
