"I, the grandson, am fully aware of the grievousness of my sins. I ask only to atone with my death and not to implicate the future generations of my Sima Family...." The Great Elder was seriously injured, coughing strenuously as he knelt on the ground, trembling as he spoke. His words were intended for Master Blood Dragon and Elder An to hear. The deeds they had committed were enough to wipe the Sima Family off the face of this world. It could be said that the crime of treason was so severe that exterminating the entire family would not be considered excessive! The Great Elder hoped that through his own death, he could preserve the Sima Family. He fondly recalled how prominent and debonair he had been just a few days ago, as the foremost figure of the Sima Family, full of stratagems and great ambition. The elders of the Sima Family sought only to make a bold move that would elevate the Sima Family to the most exalted position within the Abnormal World of Hua Xia, to further the family’s reach! Sadly, the return of the ancient ancestor of the Sima Family today had shattered the Great Elder’s and others’ beautiful dreams in an instant. "Think you can die so easily? Use death to compensate for the lives of other family members? Dream on!" Master Blood Dragon sneered. While Sima Xuanxuan and Master Blood Dragon wore grim expressions, judging the elders of the Sima Family, Bai Yan, sipping his tea with a smile, had already put away the Blood Dragon Long Sword. With no place to interject in the elders’ judgment of the Sima Family, he might as well enjoy the drama. Alas, he had not managed to get his hands on the Divine Dragon Vein Map, and the original evidence for the annihilation case had not been retrieved! But today was no loss for him; the corpses of two Sima Family elders lay in his Abyss Territory, one of S-rank and another of SS+ rank, plus the Abnormal corpses collected by Qin Jiuluo and the others. This battle, indeed, was not fought at a loss! Bai Yan’s eyes swiftly shifted, slightly squinted; he realized that Sima Xuanxuan had only brought forth the Sima elders but had overlooked those priests from the Bright Church. After his eyes made a round, he set his sights on those priests. Perhaps, one could try to get their hands on those priests? Bai Yan sipped his tea, continuously pondering in his mind. "Let me ask you, what exactly is the deal with Xu Banxian!" The words of Master Blood Dragon roused Bai Yan from his contemplation to see Master Blood Dragon’s eyes gleaming with fury, staring at the Great Elder. "This...." The Great Elder’s face paled, hesitating somewhat. "Crash!!" Sima Xuanxuan abruptly smashed a teacup onto the Great Elder’s forehead; the cup shattered, and without Inner Strength to protect himself, the Great Elder’s forehead immediately began bleeding profusely! "Speak!" Sima Xuanxuan ordered coldly. Although Sima Xuanxuan seemed younger than the Great Elder on the outside, he was, in fact, the Great Elder’s great-great-grandfather. For a great-great-grandfather to punish his great-great-grandson was nothing out of the ordinary! The Great Elder dared not cover his wound, with a mournful face he said, "Responding to the ancestral elder, Xu Banxian paid a visit to our Sima Family a while ago..." The Great Elder promptly and straightforwardly divulged everything, which was largely consistent with the intelligence Bai Yan had acquired. After saying this, the Great Elder dared not make a sound, continuing to bow his head with fresh blood still dripping to the ground. "Where is Xu Banxian now?" Sima Xuanxuan played with a fragment of the Divine Map in his hand, squinting as he looked towards the Great Elder. "Ancestor, he gave me the Dragon Vein Divine Map and after leaving those words, he left the country..." The Great Elder did not dare to conceal anything. "This man has some ability indeed, foresaw his own impending difficulty..." Suddenly, Sima Xuanxuan laughed. Had Xu Banxian not left Hua Xia, Sima Xuanxuan would definitely have captured this old man and ground his bones to dust! If not for that sentence "Sima Dangxing!", why would the Sima Family have needlessly involved itself in all this trouble! "Don’t change the subject! The wrongdoings committed by your Sima Family, even if they involved Xu Banxian, would not have occurred if your hearts were clean—temptation would be without effect!" "Whether it’s by the clan’s rules or the nation’s laws, there must be accountability today!" Master Blood Dragon uncompromisingly interrupted Sima Xuanxuan’s words, his expression as cold as could be. The position of the Guardian of Hua Xia was open to the capable, but it did not mean the Sima Family could join forces with the Bright Church to vie for it! This was a grave sin that must be punished! "Cough cough, Elder An... What do you think, a minor punishment to serve as a severe warning, perhaps?" Sima Xuanxuan glanced at Master Blood Dragon, then coughed, somewhat timidly looking towards Elder An. After all, he was the ancient ancestor of the Sima Family. If they were to execute the punishments as Master Blood Dragon said, by tomorrow’s sunrise, there wouldn’t be a single living person left in the Sima Family, aside from Sima Xuanxuan! Whether according to the rules of the Dragon Vein Family or the norms of the Abnormal World of Hua Xia. There was only the outcome of extermination for the entire family! "A minor punishment to serve as a warning? Do you think this is a trade? Is there room for bargaining?" Master Blood Dragon suddenly slammed the table, rising quickly, glaring at Sima Xuanxuan: "Sima Xuanxuan, I’ll tell you! There are some lines that must never be crossed!" Though his strength had greatly diminished now, if Sima Xuanxuan showed any leniency, Master Blood Dragon, willing to give up his life, would once again summon the Blood Dragon Long Sword and slaughter the entire Sima Family! This is Master Blood Dragon, the Guardian God of Hua Xia, where everything is for the interest of Hua Xia first! His bloodline Loyal Soul is nothing less than the most formidable inheritance of Hua Xia! "Are you... really forcing me to butcher my own descendants?" Sima Xuanxuan also became infuriated. "Bai Yan!" Master Blood Dragon sneered, then suddenly roared. "Master, I’m here." Bai Yan coughed lightly and said softly. "Blood Dragon Sword!" "Yes, Master." Bai Yan drew the Blood Dragon Sword from the Void and handed it to Master Blood Dragon. "Hum~!" Master Blood Dragon snatched the Blood Dragon Long Sword; its blade quivered with clarity, obviously thrilled to be back in the hands of its old master. "Either you do the slaughtering, or I will! After today, the Sima Family will no longer be tolerated in Hua Xia!!" Master Blood Dragon shook his long sword, directing it at Sima Xuanxuan, his gaze cold and intense with a soaring will to kill! The blood-red blade trembled slightly, just waiting for Sima Xuanxuan to utter a single word of refusal before the might of the Blood Dragon Long Sword would burst forth again! In Hua Xia, besides Master Blood Dragon, no one else could wield the full power of the Blood Dragon Long Sword. Not even Bai Yan could! This is the exclusive weapon of the Guardian of Hua Xia! With the Blood Dragon Long Sword in Master Blood Dragon’s hands, it is like adding wings to a tiger, unmatched throughout the world, without a single adversary! Bai Yan’s eyelids drooped, just focusing on his tea. He had no intention of involving himself in these messy affairs. "Good! Well done, Blood Dragon!" Sima Xuanxuan was furiously trembling, his originally handsome face flushing red with anger. The two of them had fought a lifetime, as brothers and disciples, yet he never expected to be pushed to this point by his own brother! Kneeling here, standing there, are all people from the Sima Family, his own descendants! If the people of the Sima Family were gone, their heritage and bloodline would also be severed! For a fault not yet realized, the Sima Family was to be wiped out, causing an indignant suffocation in Sima Xuanxuan’s heart, nearly spilling blood from his own rage. Servants of the Sima Family and elders, bowing their heads aside, their bodies trembling lightly, their eyes filled with panic and unwillingness. The fault lies with the Great Elder and the higher-ups of the Sima Family; they are innocent, but Master Blood Dragon insists on exterminating the entire Sima Family! The kneeling Great Elder and the Sima Family Elders saw a glimmer of hope amidst the confrontation between the two men. "Great-grandfather! We bear great faults, too late for regret! Our deaths are insignificant, but the bloodline of the Sima Family cannot be broken!" The Great Elder slammed his forehead to the ground violently, with thudding sounds, blood spilling everywhere, his voice both shrill with regret and filled with remorse. His call of ’Great-grandfather’ made Sima Xuanxuan’s heart tremble. Those kneeling here are clan relatives related to him by blood! He is the only elder of this generation of the Sima Family capable of holding up their backbone! "Elder ancestor!" "Elder ancestor, kill us instead! Just spare the Sima Family!" "We would rather suffer the harshest punishments, just spare the innocent people of the Sima Family and leave a vestige of our bloodline!" The other elders, prostrating on the ground, shouted tragically. Ridiculously, considering Master Blood Dragon’s temperament – to kill or to annihilate entirely! Bai Yan sneered. This has always been the style of him and his disciple - eradicate the root, leave no troubles behind! If Master Blood Dragon were not so ruthless, how could he ensure the peace of Hua Xia for centuries?! "To kill or not to kill! If you can’t bear to do it, I shall do it for you!" Master Blood Dragon stared straight at Sima Xuanxuan. Just as the Great Elder and others looked eagerly at Sima Xuanxuan, waiting for him to confront Master Blood Dragon over the future of the family, Sima Xuanxuan’s eyes turned bloodshot, and he suddenly roared, "I will kill!" A single "I will kill!" hushed the whole scene. Every member of the Sima Family, be it the Great Elders or the servants, saw despair flood their eyes. Not even the great elder would take their side! The Sima Family, it’s utterly finished today! Sima Xuanxuan’s decision no doubt finalized the sentence. The entire clan to be wiped out, not a single survivor allowed!
