119: As an upright and kind person

The Tang Family member recording looked at Xu Le with a stubborn face. "Is it my turn?"

"No, go over there and continue recording." Xu Le pointed to a distant open space.

The Tang Family member's lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he eventually turned his head, leaving everyone with a sympathetic yet helpless view of his back.

"I gave you a chance before, but you didn't cherish it."

"Now, getting another chance won't be that simple."

"You need to complete a trial."

Tang Ying pursed his lips; he knew Xu Le was telling the truth.

As an Assassin, he had been constantly monitoring the battlefield; a few nobodies had slipped away at the very beginning and successfully escaped.

Most of those who remained only tried to flee at the last moment, but by then, it was clearly too late.

Most people hadn't noticed this and even felt that Xu Le was simply toying with them.

However, most of them had ordinary classes and low Ranks, so they didn't dare to talk back.

"What trial?"

Xu Le said, "Prove that the Tang Family is not in your hearts. After all, I cannot let enemies leave."

"How do we prove it?"

Tang Ying's breathing quickened; this time, he had to seize the opportunity.

Xu Le smiled gently, as if he weren't surrounded by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but by a cluster of flowers.

"Kill a member of the Tang Family!"

Boom!

The cold voice was like a giant boulder crashing into water, whipping up massive waves.

The crowd instantly erupted into a commotion, buzzing and shouting together.

The Tang Family member holding the recorder rushed over. "You can't do this, you're sending them to their deaths! Even if they're lucky enough to survive and get off the mountain, killing their own kin means that even if they aren't sentenced to death, they'll be boycotted by everyone."

Some of the heated Tang Family members suddenly snapped out of it, looking at Xu Le as if looking at the devil among devils.

Xu Le nodded. "Then come and kill me! If I die, or if you destroy my divine statue, you can also leave."

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.

Who could kill Xu Le?

Despair spread among the crowd.

"Hahaha, you clearly want us to kill each other. If I'm not mistaken, you're out of mana and skills!"

One person stepped out from the crowd and charged at Xu Le with a loud laugh.

Bang!

With a casual swing of his staff, Xu Le emptied the other's health bar.

"Regrettably, you guessed wrong!"

Xu Le waved his staff, and 100 Clones stepped forward.

In the past five minutes, although he hadn't summoned the Little Peach Tree, his high Spirit attribute allowed for fast mana recovery. Combined with what remained before, he now had 1/4 of his mana.

"Hahaha, I'd rather die than kill my own kin!"

Tang Ying laughed in grief and indignation. Beside him, a member of a Tang Family branch who was an ordinary person laughed along, only to have their throat slit by a blade the next moment.

I've proven it!

Tang Ying looked at Xu Le with pleading eyes. Xu Le pointed next to the Tang Family member who was recording, and Tang Ying excitedly rushed over, a faint smile on his lips.

The recording Tang Family member was completely stunned.

In the recorder, that expression was exceptionally prominent, comparable to the Mona Lisa.

This wasn't just destroying the Tang Family; it was digging up their roots!

He looked at Tang Ying with disdain. "You deserve to die. Only if you die will the Tang Family maintain its dignity!"

Tang Ying curled his lip in disdain, and the rest of the Tang Family members also began killing each other.

You stab me, I slash you; even several ordinary people turned their gazes upon their own kind.

"It's over. The Tang Family's reputation as a thousand-year-old Aristocratic Family is completely gone."

The Tang Family member sat paralyzed on the ground, face pale, as the recorder in his hand captured everything haphazardly.

Ten minutes later, every surviving Tang Family member had a life on their hands.

Xu Le clapped and cheered.

"One last thing. As an upright and kind human being, I really can't bear to see my fellow humans' corpses left out in the wild."

"Pile their corpses here in the Central Square, and stack their equipment, Materials, and such over there. After all, energy conservation, environmental protection, and sustainable development are eternal themes."

The crowd: "..."

Kind? Upright? Energy-saving?

Are these lines you should be saying?

If there were an internet cable between them, Xu Le would definitely have been flamed until not even his bones remained. Forget his household register; even his ancestors eighteen generations back wouldn't be spared.

But there were no "ifs".

Everyone felt miserable and could only work through their tears.

No one dared to be perfunctory or hide anything; those with blood and courage were all lying down.

Xu Le collected everything on the ground and took a brief look at Tang Qianchuan's space ring.

It had to be said, Aristocratic Families were impressive.

A full 1,000,000 cubic meters of space, comparable to an average-sized shopping mall.

Xu Le didn't hesitate and directly transferred everything over.

The accumulation of an Aristocratic Family over centuries, but unfortunately, he only got the surface level.

More real estate, top-tier skills, and such were all kept in the Family Treasury.

The space ring he obtained was large, but it was only Tang Qianchuan's personal property.

However, collecting the personal belongings of all the Tang Family's elites, he estimated his net worth to be at least a hundred billion. If he was frugal, he wouldn't have to worry about making money for the rest of his life.

"Can we leave now?" The Tang Family members asked expectantly.

"Wait a bit longer. After all, you were once one family. Even if you don't bury them, at least take a few handfuls of ashes with you."

Xu Le sent out a thought, and Nine Phoenix immediately flew over.

"Master Brother, leave it to me. I'll have it done in three minutes at most!"

Nine Phoenix and her nine Clones spat fire at the corpses. The white flames were extremely hot, and upon touching the bodies, they instantly flared up as high as a person.

In less than three minutes, the flames died down.

When they looked again, the ground was empty.

Not only were there no ashes, but even the soil and stones on the ground had been baked into a deep pit.

The Tang Family members' faces turned ashen, and several of them ground their teeth to the point of breaking.

Humiliation!

No, it should be domestication!

They felt like a herd of livestock being whipped in various ways, just short of calling him master.

Xu Le was a bit embarrassed; this wasn't his intention. He waved his hand: "Go on!"

The crowd was in disbelief, walking out half-doubting, and even after crossing the previous boundary, they still couldn't quite believe it.

When they saw some Tank classes jumping directly off the mountaintop to save time and then immediately disappearing from sight, they were finally certain—

Xu Le was really letting them go!

At this time, Tang Ying and a few others whispered together for a bit before returning to stand before Xu Le.

Xu Le raised an eyebrow. "What's this? Decided to put in one last effort for the Tang Family?"

"No, no, no!" They shook their heads like rattle-drums. "We wanted to ask, My Lord, do you intend to protect Tang Bo?"

Xu Le glanced at the stubborn Tang Family member and shook his head.

Tang Bo looked at the group in surprise, the disgust in his eyes growing stronger.

"You guys... Ah!"

Tang Bo screamed as a terrifying wound appeared on his chest. He felt weak all over, and his heart almost leaped out.

The others quickly dug a hole, clearly because Xu Le "couldn't bear" to see fellow humans' corpses left in the wild.

"Wh... why?" Tang Bo's face was pale.

The group didn't answer, their gazes only turning colder.

Xu Le smiled slightly. "Give me the recorded video; I'll keep it safe."

The group froze, while Tang Bo had a sudden realization, a mocking smile appearing before he died.

Only to see raging flames suddenly erupt on those people's bodies.
