319: Chapter 319 Destroying the Chu Family

Ji Taichang rubbed his chin, ultimately choosing not to reveal the truth.

Mainly because he didn't know Nan Yin was Yun Qiyao's Disciple, and thought Nan Yin and Ling Qinghan were somewhat related. Therefore, Ji Taichang decided not to disclose his intention to kill Ling Qinghan for now.

Secrecy leads to success.

Lu Qingmeng said, "Then... how about moving the people of the Qingyun Sect to the Tiangang Holy Land first?"

"With me watching over them, no one will dare to bully them."

After Lu Qingmeng's Breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage, she had already become one of the highest-status individuals in the Tiangang Holy Land. Let alone letting the Qingyun Sect stay for a while—

Even if she directly arranged for the Qingyun Sect members to become Inner Sect Disciples of the Shuiyue Holy Land, no one would dare say a word of dissent.

"That would work."

Ji Taichang's eyes brightened slightly.

Letting the Qingyun Sect members stay at the Tiangang Holy Land for a while was a good plan. Once he killed Ling Qinghan and let Yun Qiyao retake control of the Shuiyue Holy Land, he would be the man behind the Shuiyue Holy Land!

It wouldn't be too late to bring the Qingyun Sect people back to the Shuiyue Holy Land then.

"Xiao Changchang, why... do you not trust the Shuiyue Holy Land?"

Lu Qingmeng couldn't help but ask Ji Taichang via voice transmission, feeling truly perplexed!

Ji Taichang took a deep breath and replied to Lu Qingmeng via transmission, "Aunt Meng, if I said... that a battle might break out between Ling Qinghan and me in the future, would you believe me?"

Lu Qingmeng was a woman deeply in love with Ji Taichang, and her favorability was already maxed out, so Ji Taichang trusted her enough.

"Ling Qinghan!?"

Lu Qingmeng's heart jolted, waves of shock surging within her.

She gave Ji Taichang a deep look and didn't press further, only replying seriously via transmission: "Rest assured, I will secretly arrange for the Qingyun Sect people to stay in my territory within the Tiangang Holy Land. I won't let outsiders disturb them, especially those from the Shuiyue Holy Land!"

No sooner said than done.

Ji Taichang's group entered the Qingyun Sect Secret Realm. After briefly explaining the situation to Lin Xueyue and the others, Lu Qingmeng activated the dark cloud hundred refinements tower, taking everyone from the Qingyun Sect into the ancient tower.

However, Ji Taichang's group didn't head directly to the Tiangang Holy Land. Instead, they headed for... the Chu family!

Cai Ling rubbed her hands together and activated the square inch chessboard, leading everyone toward the Chu family!!

On the way.

Ji Taichang took a moment to claim the cultivation of the Nine-Element Demon Saint.

However, 10% of the Nine-Element Demon Saint's cultivation was still far from enough for Ji Taichang to Breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage; the boost in cultivation was not significant.

...

The Chu Family.

Ji Taichang had assumed that the Evil Emperor Xuanjin would have taken the core members of the Chu family to the Black Thorn Cult. After all, the Chu family's strength was not weak and they had significant utility value.

But when Ji Taichang's group arrived at the Chu family, they found nothing unusual. All the clansmen remained at the Chu residence, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation as they waited for Chu Sheng's return!

"Very good, very good!"

The corners of Ji Taichang's mouth curled up into a cruel, cold smile!

"Do it!"

At Ji Taichang's command, Cai Ling immediately activated the square inch chessboard. Terrifying Space Law spread out, enveloping the entire Chu family and isolating the place from the outside world!

"Hmm?!"

The members of the Chu family suddenly looked up to see a massive chessboard standing in the sky, covering the entire Chu residence.

"What's happening?"

"Why did a giant peacock appear? There are several people on its back... Ji Taichang!?"

"Not good!!"

"Ji Taichang, what do you think you're doing?"

When the Chu family members saw Ji Taichang appear, they were all struck with horror, a terrible premonition suddenly surging within them!

The Chu family's Mahayana Old Ancestor had only been gone a short while when their enemy, Ji Taichang, appeared and used a strange Magic Treasure to seal off the entire Chu family. Even a fool could see something was wrong!

"Doing? You'll find out very soon."

The corners of Ji Taichang's mouth curled into a cruel arc.

Boom!!

Ji Taichang opened his palm.

In an instant.

The world erupted as terrifying Law power transformed into a giant hand that blotted out the sun. Carrying a horrific aura of world-ending destruction, it slowly pressed down toward the Chu family's territory!

That overwhelming pressure caused everyone in the Chu family to feel their hearts and gallbladders split with fear, their faces showing expressions of despair and terror!

"No... you can't do this!!"

"Our Chu family is also a part of the Shuiyue Holy Land, you cannot murder your fellow Disciples!"

"Stop! Stop it now! Our Chu family's Old Ancestor Chu Sheng has already reached the third layer of the Mahayana Stage. If you dare kill us, the Old Ancestor will not let you off when he returns!"

"Ji Taichang, we know we were wrong, we shouldn't have targeted you... please, spare us this once!"

"God-damned Ji Taichang, you will die a miserable death! A miserable death! Even as a ghost, I won't let you off!!"

"Old Ancestor, where are you..."

"Save me!!"

The entire Chu family fell into endless despair and fear, filled with either blustering threats, pleas for mercy, or curses...

They tried to flee, tried to awaken the Chu family's hidden foundations to resist, or knelt and begged for their lives...

But none of it was of any use.

Ji Taichang's palm was like the divine punishment of the Heavenly Dao. Everywhere it passed, everything shattered and was annihilated. Even the Chu family's full array of hidden trump cards was futile!

Swaths of Chu family buildings and clansmen vanished into thin air!

The vast Chu family territory was directly wiped out by a single palm strike, leaving only a massive crater where nothing remained.

Meanwhile.

Near the Chu family territory.

A petite and exquisite figure stood quietly high in the sky, silently looking down at the tragic massacre of the Chu family.

"You see that? Ji Taichang and his group have exterminated the entire Chu family. Such cruel behavior... do you feel regret? Do you feel rage? Do you want revenge?"

"Submit to this seat, give up your resistance, clear your mind, and accept my control. This is the only way you can have your revenge..."

"Join my Black Thorn Cult, and the great Evil God will grant you the power for vengeance..."

The Evil Emperor Xuanjin's voice seemed to possess a special magic as she spoke slowly.

Inside the necklace around her neck.

Chu Sheng's Primordial Spirit trembled violently. Witnessing the extermination of the entire Chu family with his own eyes, his eyes nearly split as he let out hysterical wails and screams!

While his consciousness was in great turmoil, threads of Devilish Qi that were difficult for even Divine Sense to capture quietly invaded his Primordial Spirit, making the dark light in Chu Sheng's eyes even more horrifying.

...

"Xiao Yaoyao, do you know what this thing is?"

After exterminating the Chu family.

Ji Taichang fiddled with the god-slaying nail for a while, but unable to see through its mysteries, he asked Yun Qiyao via transmission.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is an ancient Demonic Path evil weapon, the god-slaying nail!"

Yun Qiyao's expression was somewhat grave: "This is an extremely sinister and terrifying evil object; it is a Spirit Treasure! It is said there are seven god-slaying nails in total. If paired with a specific set of forbidden incantations, they can directly curse and kill a Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouse!"

"That strong?"

Ji Taichang's eyes lit up: "If seven god-slaying nails can curse and kill the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, then if we find one or two more, wouldn't we be able to curse and kill Ling Qinghan?"

"It's not that easy."

Yun Qiyao shook her head with a bitter smile: "The god-slaying nails and the corresponding incantations were lost during the ancient era. It is said they were too cruel and terrifying, leading the ancient Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouses to join forces and crusade against them. The powerhouse holding the god-slaying nails was forced to flee into the Forbidden Zone of Life, but was still killed by the combined efforts of the great experts. Ultimately, the god-slaying nails were scattered within the Forbidden Zone of Life..."
