115: genocide

It wasn't until half a month later that Xiao Qingyuan returned to the Xiao Clan Immortal Family as if nothing had happened.

These people ruined his reputation and followed the Prefectural City Martial Guards.

Xiao Qingyuan naturally wouldn't remain indifferent.

That very night, he obtained the first list from the Wang Family members.

After a simple investigation, it was discovered that not the entire Wang Family was involved.

Most people were completely unaware.

Xiao Qingyuan killed all those who were in the know and quickly departed.

He then followed this lead, obtaining several more lists.

The results once again astonished him.

It turned out that many Families had some members involved.

Even many of those who attended his Foundation Establishment banquet had relatives participating.

Some were unaware, but a small number were in the know.

Their Family members, sons, younger brothers, or other relatives, attracted by the promises made by the Zhenwu Guard in Yanggu Prefecture, had more or less helped them.

You kill my Family member, and my Family member kills your brother.

Almost every Family was implicated.

Those who spread rumors about him.

Those who colluded with the Prefectural City Martial Guards.

And there were even those, like the Wang Family, who outright joined in, seducing women and then pinning the blame on him.

Xiao Qingyuan was practically fuming with laughter at their shamelessness.

Regardless of how big or small the mistake.

As long as he found them, Xiao Qingyuan sent them all to the Netherworld Banner to become 'brothers'.

As the names on the first list were cleared, the second list followed, then the third... For half a month, he barely stopped for a moment.

Anyone he found, he killed.

He scoured over a hundred second-rate Families and nearly a thousand small second-rate Families throughout Yanggu County, not letting anyone off.

He thoroughly 'plowed' the entire Yanggu Prefecture.

He even killed those he found displeasing.

Aside from not attacking Yanggu Prefecture itself, he even killed Prefectural City Martial Guards he encountered who were out on missions.

He couldn't remember how many people he had killed, but it was certainly no less than a thousand, perhaps even more?

Who knew.

In any case, he gained over thirty thousand Spirit Stones.

Many small clans were directly annihilated, and even the large clans were terrified.

Eventually, even mountain bandits and brigands he encountered were directly sent into the myriad souls banner.

Turning into soulless corpses.

Making the entire Yang Valley region live in fear.

When the upper echelons fought, the common people suffered.

There were many who didn't recognize their own place and dared to get involved in such matters.

If that's the case.

Then kill!

If the house is dirty, just clean it.

Interestingly, among them, he encountered a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had come here before and kowtowed to him.

At the time, he seemed like a righteous person, quite principled.

This time, that person once again kowtowed to him repeatedly, begging him to spare his son, who had also joined the Prefectural City's operation.

He cried very sadly.

The young man was two years younger than him, and because he had an affair with his father's concubine, and out of fear of being discovered.

He simply killed the concubine and pinned the blame on him.

There were many similar incidents.

Those he found were all people who had already been approached and recruited by Wei Tao's men.

Although Xiao Qingyuan knew there were definitely some who slipped through the net, killing those he found would also serve as a deterrent.

He continued killing for several more days until all the names on his lists were gone.

Only then did Xiao Qingyuan return.

The many days of killing had left Xiao Qingyuan physically and mentally exhausted.

He had never imagined that these people would betray so easily, even though they had kowtowed to him in the air just a few days prior.

It almost made him believe that these people were irreconcilable with outsiders.

It turned out that most people just wanted to see who was stronger.

Aside from a few stubborn ones like Hong Tiexian, others had no real stance.

It was all an act.

They even thought it would be best if Xiao Qingyuan perished with those outsiders!

Xiao Qingyuan shook his head. Since someone had been taken away.

Then he would cherish what he had.

This incident also left a significant mark in the history of the Xiao Clan Immortal Family.

Known as—

—The Demonic Cultivator's Rebellion!

..."I wonder if the myriad souls banner, which just advanced to a second-tier Magic Treasure, the Netherworld Banner, can curse a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to death."

As he walked, Xiao Qingyuan pondered in his mind.

Fortunately, the Netherworld Banner had now advanced to a second-tier Magic Treasure; not only could the black mist be retracted, but it could also be stored in his Dantian.

For now, there was no need to worry about exposure.

He could even write names in advance and silently launch a deadly curse from his Dantian to attack enemies.

It was truly impossible to guard against.

Xiao Qingyuan nodded with satisfaction.

Next, he needed to quickly hunt Yao Beasts.

However, thinking of this, Xiao Qingyuan discovered another very tricky problem.

Humans have names.

What about those damn Yao Beasts?

Of course, the Netherworld Banner accepted all Yao Souls.

As long as they belonged to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, they were all within the service range of the Netherworld Banner.

The Animal Path was naturally the same.

But who could tell him.

What were the names of the Yao Beasts?

How was he supposed to write their names?

Huh?
