294: The Jun family was destroyed, and Xi Ling wanted to curse

“Lowly ants, do you dare to dream of becoming my servants? How laughable.”

Xi Ling’s beautiful glazed eyes were icy cold, and the perfect lips hidden beneath her veil curled into a mocking arc.

“Goddess, please spare us…”

“We beg for the Goddess’s mercy…”

Everyone was terrified to the point of nearly wetting themselves.

That was being imprisoned in purgatory, scorched by divine fire, unable to live or die.

How could Xi Ling be so vicious?

Was she not afraid that too much slaughter would give rise to inner demons?

Xi Ling was certainly not afraid.

Because she had a clear conscience for slaughtering all living beings, so how could there be inner demons?

Only those with complicated thoughts and wavering personalities were prone to developing inner demons.

“Xi Ling, you slaughtered my Jun Family, and one day, you will surely face retribution, fall beneath a lightning tribulation, and be slain by a Heaven’s Chosen’s sword…”

“Xi Ling, you slut…”

There were also those who weren’t afraid of death, their eyes bloodshot as they cursed vehemently, uttering the most malicious curses.

In response, Xi Ling was expressionless; it was merely the wailing of ants.

She coldly glanced at the Jun Family’s Great Elder, who was closest to her, a hint of mockery appearing in her eyes.

Did he want to provoke her into attacking the formation with a grand seal, and then seize the opportunity to capture her?

This old fellow really dared to think such a thing.

If it weren’t for needing the Jun Family’s souls, one strike of her grand seal would have turned them all to ashes.

The Great Elder roared, “Heaven is destroying my Jun Family! I hate it!”

His Jun Family had been passed down for hundreds of millions of years, flourishing without decline, yet it was tragically annihilated because of Jun Lintian.

How innocent were the hundreds of millions of members of their Jun Family?

Looking at the sky full of blood mist and the wailing clansmen, the Great Elder was overcome with grief, and blood tears streamed down his face.

He looked at Xi Ling and said sternly, “Those who kill others will eventually be killed by others. You, this demoness, will surely face karmic retribution.”

Boom!

Su Yunhai smashed his physical body with a staff, roaring, “Old fellow, your Jun Family is cruel and inhumane. Xi Ling Goddess, for the sake of the Xuantian Domain, eliminated you scoundrels, rendering meritorious service to heaven and earth, and to all living beings in the Xuantian Domain.”

“Exactly, exactly.”

“Xi Ling Goddess’s merits are immeasurable, great fortune is bestowed upon her, her Dao path is smooth, and her future is boundless.”

“You… I’ll fight you all to the death!”

“Want to self-detonate? Dream on, die for me!”

Before the Great Elder could activate his power to self-detonate, his physical body was shattered again, leaving him no chance to explode.

Boom!

A formation was broken, and a Profound God Great Power looked indifferent, his divine might overwhelming, surrounded by myriad laws, transcendent and detached.

With a casual flick of his finger, a brilliant light erupted, detonating the physical bodies of the Jun Family members. With a flick of his sleeve, he collected their souls and essence of flesh and blood.

Then he moved to the next grand formation, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Jun Family members.

“How could this be?”

“Why is this happening?”

An old man knelt on the ground, roaring up at the sky.

His Jun Family was the overlord of the Xuantian Domain, an existence that could make the entire Xuantian Domain tremble with a stomp of their foot.

Jun Shengbao’s cultivation was even heaven-reaching, his magic power boundless, his prestige intimidating the Immortal Realm.

How could they be exterminated overnight?

Impossible, this is impossible.

This must be a nightmare.

It’s an inner demon at work.

He’ll be fine once he gets through it.

The Jun Family was still the absolute overlord of the Xuantian Domain, controlling the life and death of hundreds of millions of living beings.

“Jun Lintian, it’s all that little beast Jun Lintian’s fault.”

Countless people hated Jun Lintian to the extreme, their gazes malevolent.

At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten how they had envied and supported Jun Lintian in taking female attendants, and how they had wanted to plunder the Heaven’s Chosen’s fortune.

They even imitated him themselves, but simply lacked the strength.

“Lord Gu, that little beast Jun Lintian is already dead. Please have mercy and spare our dog lives. We swear…”

Seeing no hope from Xi Ling, everyone immediately kowtowed to Gu Qing, begging for mercy.

After all, Gu Qing was also one of the culprits in the destruction of the Jun Family, having brought an Immortal King to exterminate them.

If Gu Qing was willing to retreat, then their Jun Family could still survive, and even continue to prosper.

Because they didn’t believe that their Old Ancestor would fall.

In a one-on-one situation with Immortal King He Guang, Immortal King He Guang would definitely retreat.

Gu Qing swept his gaze over them indifferently, then no longer paid attention, his consciousness immersed in the system.

Killing Jun Lintian and six heroines, this time was truly a huge gain.

As for killing Jun Jiannan, he used the magic power left by Jiang Yu, so it didn’t count as an ultra-level kill.

However, the rewards were still very generous.

He was rewarded with a set of Heavenly God Realm artifacts, the tiangang nine swords.

Nine Heavenly God Realm artifacts could form the tiangang nine swords Grand Formation.

It could be given to Chu Qing.

The Seven Stars Sword, a Heavenly God Realm artifact obtained from Cheng Yang, could be given to Qingyue.

These were things he didn’t need; instead of gathering dust in his hands, it was better to give them to them.

In the future, he would only use Innate Spirit Treasures and Chaotic Spiritual Treasures.

Gu Qing then sifted through the system’s fragmented rewards.

Exterminating hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Ghosts also yielded massive rewards, but they were mostly immortal sources, as well as divine artifacts, saint medicines, and divine medicines.

To his surprise, killing a Heavenly Ghost in the Profound God Realm counted as an ultra-level kill.

He didn’t know until he looked, and when he did, he was shocked.

This was truly an unexpected joy.

Gu Qing opened it and saw that it was a Superior Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the Soul-Slaying Blade.

“I’m rich!” Gu Qing was overjoyed.

He felt like leaving now.

He wanted to return to his temporary cave dwelling, bathe and change, then grab He Ni’s small hand to draw a lottery, for even better luck.

But since he was already here, he had to finish dividing the spoils before leaving.

Moreover, there were still many unattached Profound Gods here, and countless Heavenly God Realm cultivators.

Gu Qing was currently in desperate need of subordinates, and these people were the best targets for recruitment.

As long as he spoke, many people would probably be willing to follow him.

“Hurry up,” Gu Qing urged.

Xi Ling rolled her eyes, saying annoyed, “It’s easy for you to say. How can a Profound God be so easily killed?”

“Then you all get out of the way and let me smash them to death…”

“Don’t.”

Xi Ling quickly forbade it. What kind of existence was a Profound God? More precious than Dao fruits, how could they be wasted?

She said with a fierce expression, “I, Xi Ling, mean what I say. They must be suppressed in purgatory. Those who dare to insult me, the Jun Family shall suffer the pain of soul scorching for hundreds of millions of years.”

“Alright.”

Seeing this, Gu Qing nodded thoughtfully.

He felt that Xi Ling might not just be simply scorching the Jun Family’s souls; she might be using their souls for cultivation.

But none of this concerned him.

Actually, Gu Qing was a little envious.

He really wanted half.

But with Xi Ling’s cunning, as soon as he opened his mouth, she would definitely suspect that he was cultivating demonic arts.

After all, demanding souls was too obvious a motive; besides devouring, it was for refining magical treasures.

Xi Ling would certainly think that he, Zhi Meng, and Jiang Yu had cultivated demonic arts, because their cultivation had improved too quickly.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, these souls were better off not taken.

Besides, even if he asked, Xi Ling would definitely not give him half.

These Profound Gods were all brought by Xi Ling and had nothing to do with him.

Being too greedy would make it difficult to cooperate with Xi Ling next time.

The benefits reaped this time were already sufficient; he couldn’t possibly take all the benefits for himself.

Anyway, there was nothing in the Immortal Realm that wasn’t abundant, except for living beings.

When he had the chance, he would do something big himself.

“Next time, I’ll ask her to exterminate an Immortal King family together, and I’ll also say I want to suppress them in purgatory,” Gu Qing thought to himself, looking at Xi Ling.

He felt this excuse was quite good.

Xi Ling’s crescent brows furrowed slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable under Gu Qing’s gaze, as if Gu Qing was plotting against her.

Did Gu Qing see that she had another use for the souls and was trying to demand more benefits from her?

If that were truly the case, then Gu Qing was really too young.

Xi Ling’s red lips, hidden beneath her veil, curved slightly, and a mischievous smile appeared in her beautiful glazed eyes.

“Boom!”

A Profound God Great Power, with a sinister smile, perfectly exuded the aura of a villain.

With a single finger, he detonated the cave-heaven world, killing everyone hiding inside.

His divine sense spread out overwhelmingly, searching for cave-heaven worlds hidden in the spatial rifts.

“Why are you all so heartless?”

Seeing this, the Great Elder was utterly despairing, roaring in grief and indignation.

This was truly an extermination of his Jun Family’s bloodline.

Boom!

Su Yunhai smashed him again with a staff, his eyes full of satisfaction: “Old fellow, when you exterminated my Su Family, did you ever consider leaving a spark for my Su Family?”

Hearing this, the Great Elder’s grief-stricken expression froze on his face, then became distorted and ferocious.

Indeed, he hadn’t thought of it either.

He only wanted to kill the opponent completely, to eliminate future troubles.

But… “Hahaha, the so-called Qilin Son is actually the root of the family’s destruction, hahaha.”

The Great Elder laughed wildly, his demeanor deranged.

“Old fellow, didn’t your Jun Family always talk about exterminating this and that? Why don’t you continue to be arrogant?”

Su Yunhai laughed heartily.

“Retribution, oh retribution.”

The Jun Family’s Profound God Elders looked at the scarred Jun Family, then cried and laughed simultaneously.

“It’s over, my Jun Family, passed down for countless years, has finally met its demise.”

Their hearts were filled with grief and indignation, but they had nowhere to vent.

Because the vast Xuantian Domain was almost entirely the Jun Family’s enemy.

As expected, the saying came true: those who are too arrogant will eventually be punished by the heavens; it's not that retribution won't come, just that the time isn't ripe yet.

"The family land is destroyed, and the clan members outside, the Jun Family women who married out, will all eventually die..."

"Jun Lintian, you are a sinner of my Jun Family."

The Jun Family Elder's soul was sealed amidst his unwillingness and resentment.

Next, it was time for the universally anticipated division of spoils.

Xi Ling Goddess collected the souls, and according to their prior agreement, the Jun Family's clan land and all its treasures would belong to her and Gu Qing, to be split equally between them.

All of the Jun Family's external real estate would be divided among themselves.

"Junior Brother, please wait a moment; I've already sent people to inventory the Jun Family's treasures."

In the vast Jun Family main hall, Xi Ling Goddess held a pastry, eating it in small bites, and asked casually, "How did you meet her? What is your relationship?"

"It's none of your business." Gu Qing didn't want to reveal a single word about He Ni.

Seeing this, Xi Ling Goddess, being sensible, didn't ask further: "How long do you think it will take for those two to kill Jun Shengbao?"

Gu Qing thought for a moment, then shook his head, indicating he didn't know.

He knew nothing about the battles of Immortal Kings, so how could he know how long they would fight?

"I guess it will take at least ten years," Xi Ling Goddess said.

"That long? No way?" Gu Qing was a little surprised.

"Is that long? Do you understand the divine abilities of Immortal Kings?" Xi Ling Goddess rolled her eyes, rendered speechless by Gu Qing's ignorant remark.

She began to explain to Gu Qing what an Immortal King was.

They were supreme beings who controlled a Great Dao.

Immortal Kings were very difficult to defeat, even harder to kill, and in fact, somewhat unrealistic.

Unless there were powerful killing artifacts.

Or if their divine abilities differed too greatly.

But those who could cultivate to the Immortal King level definitely had excellent divine abilities.

Therefore, in a battle between Immortal Kings, even fighting for thousands of years might not determine a winner.

Killing Jun Shengbao in ten years was already considered fast, given the absolute crushing advantage.

After all, Immortal King He Guang's Time Law was definitely not just for show.

And He Ni, she looked very powerful.

With the two of them working together, wearing down Jun Shengbao in ten years was already extremely fast.

"So that's how it is." Gu Qing listened silently, then secretly messaged He Ni to inquire.

Ten years was too long.

If He Ni couldn't wear down Jun Shengbao within a few days, then he could only lend out the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron.

Thinking this, Gu Qing's eyes lit up.

An Immortal King's entire body was a treasure.

If it could be put into the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron for refining, that would be an immense stroke of luck.

With this thought, Gu Qing found an excuse to leave for a moment, throwing the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron into the void and releasing its restrictions.

He Ni, across the boundless void, imprinted her divine soul, summoned the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron, and smashed Jun Shengbao with it, causing blood to spurt wildly.

The power was so great that even He Ni was momentarily stunned.

She had originally planned to use the Chronal Light Sword Formation for a quick battle.

Now, it seemed completely unnecessary.

She only needed a few hours to bring Jun Shengbao into the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron for refining.

Gu Qing received the news, breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to the main hall.

He had no intention of joining the excitement.

He wasn't a child of destiny who had to meddle in everything, especially fond of showing off in front of Profound God Great Powers.

In a battle between Immortal Kings, a single thought could obliterate cultivators below the Immortal King Realm millions of times over.

This kind of excitement was better left alone.

"You're back."

Seeing Gu Qing return, Xi Ling Goddess's beautiful, glazed eyes showed a smile, but a hint of malice was hidden in their depths.

"Of the Jun Family's clan land and the Panlong Fruit Divine Tree, which do you want?"

"I'll take the Dao Fruit Tree, I guess."

Gu Qing thought for a moment and chose the Mid-Grade Dao Fruit Divine Tree.

Actually, the Jun Family was more valuable.

After all, the Jun Family had been cultivating their clan land for hundreds of millions of years, with countless Lands of Creation, secret realms, and grotto-heavens.

There were also the Jun Family's immortal palaces, divine mountains, formation artifacts, immortal medicine gardens, and so on.

Their value was simply immeasurable.

While the Mid-Grade Dao Fruit, the Panlong Fruit Tree, was very rare and priceless, it only bore fruit once every Yuanhui.

Its income and value were far less than the Jun Family's clan land.

However, that was for others.

Gu Qing was interested in the Star Dao Sect, so the Jun Family's clan land was a bit of a burden to him.

"Alright then."

Xi Ling Goddess nodded, then took out two rings: "Choose one."

Gu Qing swept his divine sense over them; the contents were similar, so he casually picked one.

Xi Ling Goddess, this female villain, was quite magnanimous; the spoils were evenly divided.

There were a total of eighteen Mid and Low-Grade Dao Fruits, nine for each person.

The remaining divine items, rare treasures, celestial gold, divine iron, various magical treasures, immortal pills, formations, talismans, immortal spiritual medicines, immortal sources, and so on, were also divided.

"Then that's it; let's keep in touch when we have time." Gu Qing was overjoyed.

Leaving aside the magical treasures.

Just the immortal sources alone amounted to ten billion catties, and the other divine items and rare treasures were countless.

This wave had made him thoroughly rich.

"Wait, don't you have anything to say to me? Or anything to add?"

Xi Ling Goddess frowned; she clearly felt that Gu Qing was plotting against her.

Therefore, she deliberately let Gu Qing choose first and divided everything evenly. If Gu Qing was dissatisfied or greedy,

That would be perfect; she would mercilessly scold Gu Qing.

After all, she, a weak woman, had conceded this much; if Gu Qing, a grown man, was still not satisfied, she would scold him until he fled in shame.

"Add?"

Gu Qing was unaware of Xi Ling Goddess's little schemes.

Hearing this, Gu Qing was first stunned, then, after a brief thought, he angrily said: "Oh, right, what about the immortal crystals? Why didn't I see a single immortal crystal?"

If Xi Ling Goddess hadn't reminded him, he would have really forgotten about the inconspicuous immortal crystals.

Just now, he thought Xi Ling Goddess was magnanimous, but he didn't expect that he had ultimately misjudged her.

It was impossible for the vast Jun Family to not have a single immortal crystal.

"You want immortal crystals?"

Xi Ling Goddess's beautiful eyes widened, then, as if defeated by Gu Qing, she threw out a few storage rings: "Here, take them, take them all. I don't want a single one."

It seemed she had worried too much, being a bit paranoid; Gu Qing clearly had no interest in her and wasn't greedy.

Not being able to scold Gu Qing made her somewhat unhappy.

But then again, Gu Qing had so many immortal sources and various treasures that he couldn't use them all, so what did he need immortal crystals for?

One should know that many treasures in the Immortal Realm couldn't be bought with immortal crystals.

Generally, immortal sources were used, and more precious items were exchanged through bartering.

After all, heavenly materials and earthly treasures were rare and hard to come by, whereas immortal sources could still be obtained with some effort.

Gu Qing definitely wouldn't use immortal crystals for cultivation, so she hadn't given him any.

Xi Ling Goddess had planned to fill a lake with immortal crystals; when the wind blew, the bottom of the lake would sparkle, shimmering, emitting a colorful halo, absolutely beautiful.

Using them to pave roads or stack into mountains would also be good.

But since Gu Qing liked them, giving them all to him was fine.

"So generous?" Gu Qing swept his divine sense over them and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Five hundred trillion immortal crystals, just given away like that?

"If you don't want them, give them back to me." The way he said it, as if she had embezzled the immortal crystals, made Xi Ling Goddess secretly grind her teeth.

Mere immortal crystals, apart from filling lakes, were useless.

She, Xi Ling Goddess, had countless immortal second-generation sycophants; she didn't know how many trillions of immortal crystals she had used to fill immortal crystal lakes.

Her backyard was even piled high with immortal crystals, forming mountains.

Various exotic flowers and plants bloomed, reflecting each other, sparkling, and diffusing a fragrant aroma.

She would take Gu Qing to see it another day, guaranteed to blind his dog eyes.

No, that was her secret garden; how could she let Gu Qing see it?

She was truly flustled with anger.

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Senior Sister Xi Ling, for the gift."

Super rich women are indeed lovable... Gu Qing happily accepted them, finding Xi Ling Goddess much more pleasing to the eye.

His Time-Space Shuttle was an immortal crystal guzzler; the more immortal crystals, the better.

If there were enough immortal crystals put into it, fully activating the Time-Space Shuttle could even instantly leap across the Heavenly Domains of the Immortal Realm, tearing through cosmic planes.

Gu Qing made an estimate.

These five hundred trillion immortal crystals seemed like a lot, but in reality, it wasn't enough for the Time-Space Shuttle to fly for one hour at full activation.

"Hmph!" Xi Ling Goddess snorted, turned around, and bothered no longer with Gu Qing.

She found Gu Qing truly irritating, but unfortunately, she couldn't beat him, and she couldn't find any fault to scold him for.

She might as well just not see him.

Xi Ling Goddess said to a subordinate: "Have the Profound God Great Powers come to see me, and also invite those Heavenly God Realm cultivators. Although it was agreed beforehand, I can't let them come for nothing."

So many Profound God Great Powers, since they've come, don't leave... Xi Ling Goddess secretly added.

Gu Qing's eyes narrowed.

What did Xi Ling Goddess want to do with these tools she had used?

Given Xi Ling Goddess's ruthlessness and malice, she definitely wouldn't genuinely show kindness and reward them.

Unless... bad news, Xi Ling Goddess, this female villain, was going to snatch people from him.
