93: Ordinary seeds

“My ancestors shed blood for the Wei Kingdom. Killing me won’t benefit you!”

“I don’t want to die. My uncle is a confidant of a Foundation Establishment Celestial. You can’t kill me!”

“No! My father is a Foundation Establishment Celestial. You can’t kill me!”

In the Face of death, anything can be said.

No matter if you’re a Foundation Establishment Celestial’s relative or the nephew of a high-ranking official.

As long as they had Xiao Clan Immortal Family blood, Xiao Qingyuan struck with his sword, without a single wasted word.

Yang Zhantang remained silent this time, standing to the side.

He had no intention of stepping forward to persuade.

He wouldn’t dare to stop Xiao Qingyuan in that state.

He was afraid of getting a sword strike himself.

Soon, Xiao Qingyuan killed all of these Zhenwu Guards.

Immediately after, he stretched his neck.

He turned his gaze to the three former first-tier Immortal Clans of Yanggu Prefecture.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

At this moment, Xie Sandao was not yet dead, but he couldn't get up.

His eyes, as he looked at Xiao Qingyuan, were filled with complexity.

“I never thought that our three families, after operating in Yanggu Prefecture for so many years, would ultimately be destroyed by you. This truly is fate playing tricks.”

“Fate?” Xiao Qingyuan sneered dismissively, “It was your own greed that pushed you into the abyss.

Let me give you one last saying: Heaven’s wrath can be forgiven, but self-inflicted evil leaves no escape!

It was all your own choices.”

Xiao Qingyuan glanced at Bai Yongxiao, who had his head buried firmly in the ground.

He turned to look at the dying Xie Sandao.

“Do you have any last words?”

“It’s all my fault. I will die alone; please spare my clansmen.”

After a long silence.

Xiao Qingyuan slowly spoke, “Hand over the spiritual items and assets from Medicine Immortal Valley, and I won’t bother searching for your clansmen.

Otherwise… they will ultimately not escape death.

Even hiding in the mountains will be no exception.”

Facing the threat, Xie Sandao shook his head, “The geng metal gourd is kept with our clan land. That is the key to our clan’s future rise. If I give it to you, the Immortal Clan will truly be finished!

And I don’t trust that you will spare my clansmen.”

Xiao Qingyuan shook his head and said, “If you don’t tell me, I will find it eventually.”

Xie Sandao suddenly laughed.

“Then find it and we’ll talk!”

“Can you spare the clansmen I brought with me?”

“No!” Xiao Qingyuan shook his head upon hearing this. “Those who came today must die!”

Xiao Qingyuan turned to look at Bai Yongxiao, who trembled.

“Bai Yongxiao, I’ve seen… I bow… No! Bai Yongxiao kowtows to Foundation Establishment Celestial!”

Xiao Qingyuan thought for a moment and said, “Do you have any treasures to buy your clansmen’s lives?”

Bai Yongxiao immediately kowtowed repeatedly, crawling over, wanting to hug Xiao Qingyuan’s legs.

But he was kicked away.

However, he didn’t care at all.

He just pleaded for mercy, tears streaming down his Face:

“I am willing to offer treasures. I am willing to be a dog for the Xiao Family. I know, I know, I know the location of all treasures.

I’ll take you there, as long as you spare my life!”

Xie Sandao looked at him with disbelief, then with anger: “Bai Yongxiao! How dare you!”

However, Bai Yongxiao immediately glared back at him upon hearing this: “Xie Sandao, do you think I don’t know? The Immortal Clan’s current predicament is all your fault!”

He then turned back to Xiao Qingyuan: “Senior, I’ll confess, I’ll be honest.

Actually, the cultivation of the geng metal gourd vine requires iron ore. Over the years, I don’t know how many resources it consumed.

And the Lu Family took most of the profits.

This is also why our entire clan moved into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

It was all for that Red Stone Mine.

However, due to improper transplantation, that spiritual plant is now dead!’

The reason Xie Sandao didn’t say anything was because he didn’t want to expose the Immortal Clan’s location!”

At this point, he immediately patted his chest with a fawning expression, saying, “I’ll tell you the location. You can eradicate them, you can kill them, just spare me, spare my dog’s life, I’ll do anything!”

Upon hearing this, Xie Sandao’s eyes were about to split, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood: “Bai Yongxiao, you dog-thief, may you die a terrible death!”

However, the next second.

Xiao Qingyuan raised his hand, and a sword light flashed, abruptly stopping Bai Yongxiao’s movements.

The next second, a bloodstain appeared on his forehead, and his body slowly fell to the ground.

Making a dull thud.

“Noisy!”

Xiao Qingyuan turned to look at Xie Sandao.

“How about it?”

“Well killed, he deserved to die!”

Xiao Qingyuan nodded.

“So I killed him!”

“In the Face of life and death, you are stronger than him!

Next, it’s your turn!”

Xie Sandao smiled, his heart at peace.

He opened his Storage Pouch and pulled out an iron box.

Then he spat out a mouthful of vital blood and slowly drew dozens of runes on it.

The iron box opened.

Inside appeared a Jade Slip full of cracks, and an ordinary-looking seed.

Xiao Qingyuan took it, seemingly uncaring, and examined it.

The Jade Slip was a Legacy Jade Slip, no problem.

It only had one Legacy opportunity.

What he cared about was that seed.

“This is the geng metal gourd vine!” Xie Sandao suddenly laughed, coughing up blood as he did so: “Didn’t expect it, did you? This is just an ordinary seed!”

Xiao Qingyuan nodded: “I didn’t expect it.”

“It’s all in here! This is the Water Refining Method, a type of Artifact Refining, a special Artifact Refining method for cultivating spiritual plants, allowing them to absorb the energy of mineral veins. It’s just one type of Water Refining Method.

Treasures are born without fire.

It requires time and resources, all relying on nurturing!

But the treasures nurtured can release the material’s characteristics to the greatest extent.

The geng metal gourd cultivated before was actually just a semi-finished product.

This seed is a more updated product than the previous plant.

But exactly how long it needs to be cultivated, and how many resources it consumes, no one knows.

If you are willing, consider it my repayment!

Besides this, there are many methods for refining Magic Treasures, a true Legacy of Tier 2 and above.

I give it to you because I don’t want the Legacy to disappear, and I also want you to spare the women and children of my clan!

Even if it’s… for Yuming’s Face.”

Xiao Qingyuan fell silent upon hearing this.

He didn’t answer; even if he didn’t act, his clansmen would.

Xie Sandao also didn’t wait for a reply. As soon as his words fell, his entire being became listless.

It seemed his earlier strength was merely a brief resurgence.

Life had truly reached its end.

His final gaze slowly swept over his clansmen, ultimately settling on Xie Yuming.

He gazed for a long time, his eyes filled with guilt and entrustment.

His body completely stiffened.

Xie Yuming looked at Xiao Qingyuan.

Xiao Qingyuan spoke indifferently: “Give him a proper burial!”

The other Xie Clan members wept softly, then each picked up their weapons and committed suicide.

This was to reduce the animosity with the Xiao Clan Immortal Family.

To preserve their clansmen as much as possible.

Xiao Qingyuan watched silently, choosing to tacitly approve.

The atmosphere on the scene was solemn and respectful, and the air became quiet.

The Xie Clan members died one after another.

The remaining members of the other two clans were utterly awkward.

They exchanged glances.

The atmosphere had come to this; should they die… or not?

Seeing this, Xiao Qingyuan suddenly sighed and raised his longsword again, saying, “You guys, why can’t you have some backbone?”
