"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! You can use me as a hostage. That way, you can threaten them into not attacking the Ling Family. "
In the end, the Grand Elder of the Mu Family was captured by Ling Yuhua. As for the others, they were all killed without exception.
Ling Jiaojiao and Ling Yan both achieved breakthroughs in the battle.
One reached the ninth Grotto-Heaven Realm, while the other reached the first cycle of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
This way, the Ling Family's strength increased greatly.
At this moment, Ling Xiao had already carefully plucked the Infernal Fruit and stored it in a jade bottle. He was preparing to use it to refine pills.
One Infernal Fruit could only allow one martial artist to break through to the Yin Yang Realm.
However, one Infernal Fruit could refine ten Yin Yang Infernal Pills!
The effects of each pill were not inferior to the Infernal Fruit itself.
This was the reason why most people wouldn't consume the natural treasures directly after obtaining them. It would be too wasteful to do so.
With four Infernal Fruits, Ling Xiao could refine forty Yin Yang Infernal Pills, which could help forty people break through to the Yin Yang Realm.
Of course, he would keep ten for himself.
He would leave ten for the Eight Immortals County to win over people's hearts.
As for the final twenty, he would give all of them to Ling Jiaojiao and let her distribute them.
Whoever was loyal to him and had the talent to break through to the Yin Yang Realm would get the pills first.
However, this was a matter for the future. Right now, he had to deal with the Ling Family being surrounded.
When Ling Yuhua heard the Grand Elder of the Mu Family, he was somewhat hesitant.
He thought for a moment and agreed. If he had this fellow as a hostage, the Mu Family would at least hesitate to attack.
However, Ling Xiao suddenly walked over. A sword-light shot out from his sword and killed the Grand Elder of the Mu Family on the spot.
"We don't need any hostages. Those twelve families can't possibly break into the Ling Family's courtyard."
Ling Xiao said indifferently, "Let's go. You'll know the reason when we return."
Although Ling Yuhua and the others were confused, they all nodded out of trust in Ling Xiao. They followed Ling Xiao back to Yuhua Town.
…
Yuhua Town, outside the Ling Family's residence.
The ground was littered with corpses.
However, these corpses did not belong to the Ling Family, but were left behind by the twelve families that had besieged the Ling Family.
At a rough estimate, there were probably tens of thousands of corpses.
Blood flowed everywhere, dying the streets red.
"No, this is different from what we agreed on. Who was it that set up such a terrifying array for the Ling Clan, causing us to lose so many people? How hateful!"
One of the patriarchs roared in pain.
"I think we should retreat. If we continue fighting, all of us will die here."
A clan leader suggested timidly.
"Retreat? There was no turning back! Since we've already chosen to destroy the Ling Family, we can't let all our previous efforts go to waste. "
The Mu Clan's patriarch stepped forward and coldly said, "In any case, that old bastard Ling Yuhua is already dead. What do we have to fear? In this world, the most worthless thing is human life.
No matter how strong the Ling family's array is, there will be a time when it will be broken. Also, I heard that blood can make the array lose its effectiveness. "
"That's right, I've heard of this before. Let's just let our coolies do it. After all, those people were captured or bought from various places. Their lives aren't worth anything."
Someone else said.
"That's a good idea. The lives of a bunch of slaves aren't worth anything. After we destroy the Ling Family, we can just buy more people."
Soon, the twelve clans came to an agreement.
Some of them returned to their clans and gathered a large number of coolies and laborers.
These people were usually treated like livestock. Now that they encountered such a dangerous situation, they were actually treated as cannon fodder.
They didn't do anything wrong.
If there was anything wrong, it was that they didn't have the strength and didn't meet a master who truly respected them.
The twelve clans each had tens of thousands of coolies and laborers.
A total of 120,000 coolies gathered in front of the Ling Family's main gate.
"Hahaha, 120,000 people. We can flatten the Ling Family's main gate. Patriarch Mu's idea is really good."
Those who were already somewhat timid were now full of confidence.
They believed that destroying the Ling Family was just around the corner.
"Destroy the Ling Family!"
The leather whips lashed out at the coolies, forcing them to move forward.
But if it was just work, these people might be willing to do it without complaint.
But now, they knew that they were courting death. How could they be willing?
For a long time, they weren't willing to move.
This made the angry supervisors draw their weapons and directly kill the coolies who were walking at the front but were unwilling to take a step forward.
They wanted to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys.
However, this kind of action made the labourers who had been oppressed angry expressions appear on their faces.
They thought that they would be numb for the rest of their lives and that they wouldn't be able to resist anymore.
But at this moment, when they thought of their own families and their own tragic fate.
So what if they were obedient?
In the end, they were still cannon fodder for others.
They might as well rebel.
"Brothers, we worked hard for them without complaint. We didn't even have enough to eat, but we never thought of rebelling.
But today, they want us to die. Are you willing? Are your families willing?
If we die, your mothers, your wives, and your children will all be bullied to death by them.
Are you willing?
If there's anyone who can't accept this, then rebel with me. We can't continue to be such a coward. "
Suddenly, one of the coolies in the crowd shouted.
He was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He had a tall and coarse appearance, and one could tell at a glance that he had once cultivated martial arts.
Such coolies were not rare in Yuhua Town. Their working ability was stronger, so they wouldn't be crippled.
But most of them didn't have high cultivation. They were only in the Martial Vein Realm and couldn't overturn the heavens.
"It's that Wu Sheng fellow again!"
The Mu Family Head coldly glanced at the youth, revealing a trace of coldness.
"Kill him!"
Wu Sheng clenched his teeth. Seeing the martial artist charging at him, he didn't retreat, but instead charged forward.
He knew that if he didn't move, those cooly coolies wouldn't move either.
"Chi!"
A sharp sword stabbed into Wu Sheng's abdomen. He'd deliberately taken this attack head-on.
Although his cultivation was low, he was smart enough to use it.
The Mu Family martial artist was facing him. He had just stabbed with his sword and was enjoying the pleasure of killing someone, so he didn't have time to react.
Wu Sheng suddenly picked up a sharp blade from the ground and stabbed it into the other party's throat.
The other party was a Transcendent Realm cultivator, while he was only in the Martial Vein Realm.
The difference between them was huge, but in this case, the other party still couldn't escape death.
"Kill!"
