5: The extermination of the Wang family

The once prosperous Wang Family was now a river of blood and covered in corpses under the onslaught of the Yang family.

Arriving at the main hall, the experts of the Wang Family were gathered inside.

Sitting at the head of the table was none other than the Wang Family head, Wang Haichuan.

Wang Haichuan remained as steady as Mount Tai. Facing the carnage and the disaster of the Wang Family, he seemed like a stranger, his face devoid of joy or sorrow.

Yang Yi and his group burst into the main hall.

Wang Haichuan's expressionless face twitched.

"You lot are slaughtering in my Wang Family, truly like demons from Hell."

"Everyone should rise up and kill you."

"I have already written letters to all the major families and Sects."

"Before long, they will annihilate you evil heretics."

Yang Yi smiled indifferently.

"Before you destroy us, you must first be destroyed, Wang Family."

As his voice fell, Yang Yi had already arrived in front of Wang Haichuan and struck out with a palm.

With a loud boom, Wang Haichuan was sent reeling back, a trace of bright red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He wiped away the blood, looked at the glaring red on his palm, and glared angrily.

"Yang Yi, you have no martial ethics! You actually launched a sneak attack on me."

Yang Yi frowned. Was this guy crazy? He liked verbal sparring, but Yang Yi had no time to bicker with him.

Yang Yi did not respond and continued his attack.

The other members of the Wang Family saw their head being attacked and immediately rushed to assist. Inside the main hall, a battle was about to break out.

Wang Haichuan was cunning and experienced; as the fight progressed, he blended into the crowd. Even Yang Yi found it difficult to locate him.

With no other choice, Yang Yi could only deal with the others of the Wang Family first. By the time he dealt with the others and went to look for Wang Haichuan, that guy was already nowhere to be found.

Yang Yi sneered and instructed Yang Ming to handle the aftermath.

Yang Ming nodded and asked, "Wang Haichuan ran away. Should we chase him down?"

"Can you chase him down?"

Yang Ming looked embarrassed. "Aren't you still here?"

"I don't have the time to chase a guy like that."

Yang Ming smiled and asked, "When shall we make a move on the Liu family?"

Yang Yi said, "No rush."

Afterward, the group returned to the Yang family in high spirits.

Just as they arrived at the Yang family, before Yang Yi could even have a cup of tea, someone came to report that the Liu family head had brought a few people to pay a visit.

Yang Ming sneered. This guy was likely afraid of following in the footsteps of the Li Family and the Wang Family, so he had come to beg for mercy.

"You must not go easy on the Liu family," Yang Ming whispered.

Yang Yi narrowed his eyes and looked around at everyone present. "How do you think we should deal with the Liu family?"

"Kill them!" everyone answered in unison.

"Invite them in," Yang Yi ordered. Someone went to invite the Liu family head and his party.

A moment later, the Liu family head, Liu Xiji, walked into the meeting hall with four people.

As soon as Liu Xiji walked into the meeting hall, his knees went weak, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground.

"I am the Liu family head, Liu Xiji, paying respects to the Yang family." The four people behind him also knelt, though their faces looked very unconvinced.

Yang Yi smiled faintly. "Why kneel? Even if you kneel, I cannot spare you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the four people who were kneeling on the ground became even uglier.

Two of them stood up abruptly and glared at Yang Yi. "Yang Yi, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

"We didn't want our clansmen to get hurt, which is why we lowered ourselves to come and apologize to you."

"Don't be ungrateful."

"Our Liu family is not like those two trash families."

"If you want to annihilate us, you don't have the ability yet."

"Whether I have the ability or not, won't you know if you go back and wait for a while?"

Yang Ming said sarcastically, "Why even come here?"

Liu Xiji looked embarrassed. He turned his head and glared fiercely at the four people, scolding, "This is not a place for you to speak! Shut your mouths, all of you."

Afterward, he cupped his hands toward Yang Yi and said, "The young ones have rather big tempers; I hope you can understand."

"We came here this time specifically to apologize to the Yang family. We hope to obtain the Yang family's forgiveness. I wonder if you all could give our Liu family a chance."

Before Yang Yi could speak first, the others shouted in unison, "No!"

The sound shook the heavens, like the roar of a Dragon or a tiger.

Seeing that the group had firm gazes and showed no sign of changing their minds, Liu Xiji suddenly straightened his bent legs and stood up, a trace of determination in his expression.

"In that case, my trip here was in vain."

"It wasn't entirely in vain."

"Since you've come, you shouldn't leave. I have already prepared a coffin for you."

As Yang Yi said this, he gave a wink to the people beside him. The Yang family members rose one after another, each brandishing their weapons and Magic Treasures, surrounding the five Liu Xiji men tightly.

Liu Xiji did not expect Yang Yi to have such a lack of martial ethics. He had come to pay a visit and apologize. Even if Yang Yi had the heart to kill him, he was a dignified Family head; how could he act in such a petty manner? Yet, Yang Yi did exactly that, and he did it righteously, without even blinking an eye.

In the time he was stunned, the Yang family members had already launched their most violent offensive. They wished they could land every weapon and Magic Treasure on Liu Xiji's body.

Although Liu Xiji was strong, under the siege of so many people, he ultimately lost his life there.

As for the other four people, it went without saying; they were hacked into pulp by the enraged crowd.

After cleaning up the scene, Yang Yi looked around at the fierce-looking crowd and asked with a smile, "If I were to let you go to the Liu family, would you be able to annihilate the Liu family?"

The crowd was slightly shocked, understanding Yang Yi's meaning, but they didn't have much confidence. With Yang Yi presiding, they could deal with the many experts of the Wang Family, but if Yang Yi were not there, who would deal with that group of experts?

Yang Ming spoke up, "No problem."

"The Liu family head is dead; they have likely been scared out of their wits. Furthermore, you have already given me a Profound-grade Cultivation Technique. Although I have only Cultivated for one day, this Cultivation Technique is infinitely profound, and I have already gained some improvement. Dealing with that group of people from the Liu family should not be a problem."

Hearing Yang Ming say this, the crowd looked shocked. Although a Profound-grade Cultivation Technique could help people Cultivate and improve their strength, it shouldn't be this fast. Could there be something special about the Profound-grade Cultivation Technique that Yang Yi gave? This made everyone have a desire to obtain this Cultivation Technique. However, to obtain the Cultivation Technique, one must perform meritorious service for the Family. Where would the merit come from? Right now, there was an opportunity: annihilating the Liu family.

At this moment, everyone patted their chests and guaranteed to Yang Yi that they would absolutely complete the mission and would not let a single person from the Liu family escape.

Yang Ming asked when they should act. Yang Yi looked outside. "The wind is strong tonight; let's do it tonight."

When night fell, Yang Ming left with the Yang family.

Yang Yi returned to his room to rest. He slept very soundly; he believed that Yang Ming could perfectly complete the task he had assigned.

In his sleep, the sound of the System suddenly rang in his ears.
