698: Chapter 698 Finishing Blow Alliance Attack

The atmosphere inside the main hall was different from the surrounding area.

Surrounding the main hall, circle after circle, were over a hundred thousand Cai Family Cultivators, ranging from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul, extending all the way to the palace perimeter.

And that wasn't all.

There were also a vast number of Cai Family Mortals kneeling in the streets throughout the city, a dense, dark mass stretching as far as the eye could see.

Due to the fall of Cai Xingchen, many Cai Family members who had originally been scattered across the Tuyuan Star had rushed back.

Of course, this was just the main line of the Cai Family; there were still many branches distributed throughout the Immortal Domain—this was a consensus among all cultivation families to avoid the complete severance of their Bloodline.

Also because of Cai Xingchen's fall, the atmosphere in the city was completely different today.

In the past, it was always brightly lit, with caravans coming and going and bustling shops.

Today, no one in the entire city dared to step outside; all shops were closed, and everyone huddled in their homes, terrified of offending the Cai Family.

Many who were not part of the Cai Family hid in their homes, secretly rejoicing.

"Cai Xingchen has finally fallen. It's likely impossible for the Cai Family to climb back up again. Heaven truly has eyes."

"Indeed, I truly hope someone comes to wipe out the Cai Family."

"Shh, keep your voices down. Although Cai Xingchen is dead, the Cai Family still has two Body Integration experts."

Such discussions were happening all over the city.

Usually, when Cai Xingchen was alive, the Cai Family was the sky of this Tuyuan Star. Today, that sky had finally collapsed, and they were savoring this rare moment of joy.

Suddenly, the sky above Qingfeng City darkened.

It wasn't because it was getting dark; it was because the firmament had been enveloped by a great array.

Cai Yuanlang looked up abruptly, his expression changing drastically—the great array was channeling the Laws of Heaven and Earth, isolating the inside from the outside, preventing even Divine Thought from passing through.

"Who goes there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, over a dozen figures appeared in the sky above the city, hovering in mid-air.

Each of these dozen or so people wore Magical Artifacts to conceal their faces and were dressed in black. The weakest among them were at the Void Refining stage, and among them were two at the Body Integration stage—one at the Late Stage, and one at the Early Stage.

The black-robed figure in the lead looked down and said coldly, "The Cai Family has committed numerous evils; today, we have come specifically to settle this Karma."

Cai Yuanlang's pupils constricted. "You... aren't you afraid of the Celestial Palace?"

The leading black-robed figure did not speak.

He raised his hand, and an invisible giant sword of Law Power condensed in the Void Realm.

Cai Yuanlang immediately took action, his Law Power surging forth, shattering even the Void Realm inch by inch.

The other black-robed figure at the Early Stage of Body Integration faced off against Cai Yuankui.

This was the Cai Family's territory, and a large number of Cai Family Disciples were present. Cai Yuanlang and Cai Yuankui could not fight freely; they had to deal with the black-robed figures while also protecting their clansmen.

After a few rounds of fighting, the two Body Integration experts of the Cai Family had been slain multiple times in succession, their auras growing weaker and weaker.

However, the great array had sealed off the world; they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

They hadn't expected that anyone would dare to make a move against the Cai Family in the Celestial Palace's territory.

After just a few breaths, the bodies of Cai Yuanlang and Cai Yuankui exploded in mid-air, blood mist filling the air as they turned into ash.

The Cai Family's Void Refining and Soul Transformation experts, as well as those low-level Disciples, watched as their two Body Integration Old Ancestors fell, and their faces instantly turned ashen.

A Cai Family Void Refining expert, eyes reddened, roared with a hoarse voice:

"The Cai Family is suffering an unprovoked disaster today! Even if we die, we must show them that the Cai Family is not to be bullied!"

"Everyone, attack together!"

"Those who fear death are no heroes! If there is an afterlife, I will still be a member of the Cai Family!"

A Cai Family Soul Transformation expert didn't say a word; his figure flashed, and he appeared before one of the black-robed figures.

He wasn't attacking; he was self-destructing.

Just as his body began to crack, the leading black-robed figure raised his hand and made a gripping motion. The Cai Family Soul Transformation expert was crushed by an invisible force, turning into a pool of blood mist that rained down.

The blood mist landed on the faces of the Cai Family members below; it was impossible to distinguish between tear stains and bloodstains.

"Kill! Kill! Kill them!" a young Cai Family Foundation Establishment Disciple roared.

"Kill! Kill!"

Over a hundred thousand Cai Family Cultivators shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Some Cai Family Cultivators attempted to activate various escape Talismans.

However, it was useless—this great array had sealed the world using Law Power; even Body Integration experts couldn't escape, let alone mere Talismans.

The two leading black-robed figures were, in fact, Lin Feng and Huangfu Zhanming.

They looked down at the hundred thousand-plus low-level Cai Family Disciples below with calm expressions.

Lin Feng sent a voice transmission to the dozen or so black-robed figures: "Finish this quickly. Once resolved, disperse and flee separately."

The dozen or so Void Refining black-robed figures moved simultaneously.

One black-robed figure pressed his palms together, and golden light exploded from his hands, causing several Cai Family Soul Transformation experts to explode into blood mist simultaneously.

He said with a smile, "Amitabha, This young master is Yun Xiaozi!"

In truth, he was Jingkong.

"Dead bald donkey, stop chanting." A female voice came from behind him. Gu Lingshuang swept out with her sword, slicing the bodies and Primordial Spirits of several Cai Family Soul Transformation experts in two.

Tang Zhan did not speak; he unsheathed his long sword, and a cold light flashed for dozens of miles. Wherever the sword light passed, over a hundred people were severed at the waist, and not a single Primordial Spirit managed to escape.

Chu Yiyi collected the dropped qiankun rings while killing, laughing, "This is much more comfortable than exploring a Secret Realm; killing people and seizing treasures is truly satisfying."

As it turned out, Jingkong and the other three, along with a group of Loose Cultivators, had followed Lin Feng and Huangfu Zhanming to form a Loose Cultivator organization—the Finishing Blow Alliance.

This name had been chosen by Jingkong, who had insisted on it despite opposition.

The Finishing Blow Alliance had been established not long ago, with a total of less than twenty members. The weakest were at the Void Refining stage, and the strongest was Lin Feng.

They had formed it after the crisis at Ziyang Palace—that event had made Lin Feng and the others realize they had to unite.

This operation was also the Finishing Blow Alliance's first action.

Upon hearing that Cai Xingchen had fallen, they immediately decided to use the Cai Family as their first target.

Huangfu Zhanming and Lin Feng had been friends for many years, and knowing that he was also dissatisfied with the Celestial Palace, Lin Feng had pulled him into the group.

The people in the Finishing Blow Alliance all had, to some extent, a grudge against the Celestial Palace—in fact, there were too many people who had grudges against the Celestial Palace.

The larger the faction, the more enemies they had.

Huangfu Zhanming hovered in the firmament, overlooking the scene below, providing support for the others.

Wherever support was needed, he would strike down with a palm—whether it was a Void Refining or Soul Transformation expert, they would be reduced to ash on the spot under that palm.

That young Soul Transformation expert who had been shouting about revenge suppressed his aura, used a secret technique to conceal his form, and huddled in an inconspicuous pile of grass, holding his breath and playing dead.

But how could this escape Huangfu Zhanming's Divine Sense?

He raised his hand and made a gripping motion, and with a "bang," the young Soul Transformation expert exploded into a cloud of blood mist, not even having time to let out a scream.

The remaining black-robed figures also used their own methods.

The Cai Family's Void Refining and Soul Transformation experts fell like wheat being harvested.

As for those Cai Family Nascent Soul, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Refining Cultivators, they were shredded by the collateral Law Power; before they even knew what was happening, their bodies had turned to ash.

In less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the Cai Family's hundred thousand-plus Cultivators were all slain.

The palace complex in the center of the city, spanning a hundred miles, had turned into ruins, with blood flowing like a river. Most of the palace complex had collapsed, and a thick stench of blood permeated the broken walls and ruins.

Lin Feng swept a glance over the ruins, looked at the others, and said, "Let's go. Meet at the usual place."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and retracted the great array.

A dozen figures flashed simultaneously, each choosing a direction and vanishing from sight.
