117: Chapter 117 Roll Call: Who Lives, Who Dies

Inside the Fang Family main hall.

Fang Yuan, the defecting daughter of the Fang Family, stepped into the main hall, her gaze locking with Fang Chiyu, the Clan Chief of the Fang Family, and his son, Fang Zheng.

For a moment, the lively and active atmosphere in the venue instantly turned solemnly silent.

Meanwhile, the people from the other families and factions in the venue sensed the anomaly in the atmosphere, all wearing excited and curious spectator expressions.

Whether it was the families on good terms with the Fang Family or those with considerable grudges against them, not a single person wanted to intervene at this moment.

Instead, they all harbored the mindset of watching a good show.

After all,

Family scandals are not broadcasted externally, meaning that scenes of Family scandals are rarely seen by outsiders.

And now, the confrontation between Fang Chiyu and Fang Yuan, this "Family scandal" of the Fang Family, was truly a topic of conversation well worth discussing!

Exactly because Family scandals are rare, when witnessing one, one must watch the spectacle thoroughly!

Noticing the changes in the gazes of the surrounding people, Fang Chiyu narrowed his eyes, looked at Fang Yuan, and spoke preemptively:

"Fang Yuan... You betrayed the Fang Family, yet you still dare to return at this moment?"

"Betrayal?" Fang Yuan sneered, refusing to fall into the trap of his words, and instead directly pointed the spearhead at Fang Chiyu:

"Since when did the Fang Family become your personal property?"

"If we are talking about betrayal, the one who regards the lives of the clan members as grass is likely none other than you, Fang Chiyu!"

"Oh?" As soon as Fang Yuan's voice fell, the minor families who had come to attend the birthday banquet instantly raised their eyebrows.

They felt as though they had captured some secret of the Fang Family.

However,

for the six major families of Daliang Country present, they lowered their gazes and focused inward, as if they had long known the reason for Fang Yuan's defection.

"Heh." On the other side, hearing Fang Yuan's words, Fang Chiyu immediately shook his head with a sneer.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was so full of confidence, he immediately became certain that he had guessed her calculations:

Fang Yuan chose to return to the Fang Family today simply to borrow the hands of the various factions present.

Fang Chiyu judged that Fang Yuan must have thought that as long as the secret of the Nine-Turn Destiny Technique was made public,

then the Family members present would feel that this Cultivation Technique used members of its own clan as a price, no different from raising Gu with a Demonic Technique.

Consequently, everyone present would be filled with righteous indignation and respond en masse, turning to oppose the Fang Family on her behalf.

Fang Chiyu sneered inly, such a thought was as naive as writing about "raising the banner of righteousness and having responders gather like clouds" in women's boudoir readings!

This Fang Yuan probably still thought that the Nine-Turn Destiny Technique was a secret of the Fang Family.

In reality, many people in his Fang Family had long been colluding with outsiders.

On one hand, they leaked the Fang Family's intelligence to the other Seven Great Families early on, and on the other hand, they extorted money from these families!

Not only did his Fang Family have people colluding with outside families, but even among the other Seven Great Families, there were quite a few who colluded with his Fang Family!

Therefore, the so-called secret of the Nine-Turn Destiny Technique had long spread throughout the interior of the Eight Great Families!

But... so what if they knew?

In this world, strength is ultimately supreme!

Even if the other Seven Great Families knew of the existence of the Nine-Turn Destiny Technique, as long as the three Foundation Establishment Perfection major experts of his Fang Family were still around,

the other families would not dare to break into his Fang Family and snatch the fundamental Cultivation Technique diagram of the Nine-Turn Destiny Technique!

Whether standing on the grounds of so-called justice or so-called interests, his Fang Family had the upper hand in every aspect!

What does this Fang Yuan have to challenge him, Fang Chiyu?!

Thinking of this, Fang Chiyu burst into loud laughter, using spiritual power in his laughter to press down toward Fang Yuan like a violent storm.

Fang Chiyu spoke completely unhurriedly:

"You—"

"Alright, alright, what the hell are you laughing at, it sounds terribly annoying."

Just as Fang Chiyu uttered a single word, Qin Muyuan abruptly waved his hand to interrupt.

He simply glanced at Fang Chiyu, seeing that this person looked like an old geezer, dawdling while speaking and babbling a bunch of nonsense.

Qin Muyuan directly chose to interrupt and skip.

He turned his head and looked at Fang Yuan:

"I'm going to start a massacre, do you have any objections?"

Fang Yuan bowed to Qin Muyuan: "I leave everything to Senior's discretion!"

"Very well, you call out the names."

"Yes!" Fang Yuan bowed once more, raised her hand, and pointed around the main hall:

"Please spare Fang Zheng, Senior; he and I Cultivated the same Cultivation Technique."

"In addition, there is him, him, and her..."

"Right, Senior, my cousin Fang Congming is on our side..."

Fang Yuan pointed around the main hall, looking like "these people can be kept" and "the rest can all be killed".

This arrogant attitude, as if no one else was present, fell into Fang Chiyu's eyes, causing his expression to instantly turn gloomy!

This Fang Yuan was treating him like dishes to be ordered!

Fang Chiyu flew into a rage: "You junior, you—"

"Very well." Qin Muyuan still used his leap card, directly skipping Fang Chiyu's speaking turn:

"Since the roll call is finished, then—"

Swish!

Qin Muyuan held the sea of corpses and blood, aimed the blade at himself, and violently plunged it in.

Instantly, a violent power flooded into Qin Muyuan's mind like a tidal wave!

Sanity -50%!

But at the same time,

Boom, boom, boom!

within his body, it was as if a mountain torrent had breached its dike, his Qi and blood soaring wildly like a rocket lifting off.

Terrifying layers of blood Qi, condensed almost to substance, burst forth around his entire body.

Due to the excessive concentration, these blood Qi actually gathered into a crimson blood mist around him, rolling and sweeping in all directions!

This was not the end.

As [Blood Monarchs Joy] roared into activation,

the already suffocatingly thick blood mist seemed to transform from smoke into water, its concentration surging once again!

As the blood Qi surged, a bloody shadow abruptly plunged into Qin Muyuan's body.

The next instant, a ferocious, spiky Blood Crystal Armor bulged out from the surface of his skin.

Following that, he flicked one hand, and the twenty-seven jade swords sealed within [wriggling hunger] drew themselves in unison.

At the same moment, a Human Emperor Banner boiling with purple Qi and nearly oozing black appeared in his hand—

The moment the banner appeared, frenzied babbling and shrill wails instantly filled the main hall, and countless pitch-black human souls with painful expressions drifted out from the banner.

These human souls, like loyal guards, surrounded Qin Muyuan, who was wreathed in blood Qi!

For a time,

inside the main hall, blood mist permeated, dead souls roared, and jade swords hummed!

This mighty momentum caused the crowd of spectators who originally intended to watch a show to drastically change their expressions.

They quickly retreated dozens of steps, looking at Qin Muyuan with terrified expressions.

No, is this guy playing for real?

Is he really going to wipe out the Fang Family?!

On the other side, Fang Chiyu and Fang Zheng also sensed the might emanating from Qin Muyuan.

Fang Zheng's originally smug expression turned solemn, and he hurriedly wanted to retreat.

With the might emitted by this youth at this moment, for someone at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment like himself to get involved was simply courting death!

As for Fang Chiyu, he still maintained confidence in his own strength:

"Audacious—"

However, Qin Muyuan still chose to leap and skip his words!

Seeing Qin Muyuan tap his foot, his entire person transformed into a bloody shadow, enveloping twenty-seven jade swords and the shrilly wailing dead souls, instantly killing his way in front of Fang Chiyu!

Seeing this, Fang Chiyu's expression was as cold as frost, circulating the massive spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm within his body and infusing it into his palm.

Then, he let out a furious roar and slammed a palm toward Qin Muyuan:

"Go to hell!"
