"It's good that you understand."
Ling Yun nodded and glanced at the cultivator with the highest realm at the front of the crowd. He raised his chin and asked, "What's your name?"
This person was the only remaining Guardian of the Sky Sword Sect. He was over sixty years old and had a goatee. His eyes were sharp like swords. He was at the peak of Qi Refinement Stage Six.
He immediately stepped forward and answered honestly, "This old man … Uh, no, I'm Li Piaoyang. I used to be the Guardian of the Sky Sword Sect."
Ling Yun smiled and asked, "Li Piaoyang, where are you going?"
"…"
Li Piaoyang was dumbfounded and stunned on the spot. He was speechless for a long time.
"I'm just joking with you. Don't be so nervous."
Ling Yun was afraid that he would scare him, so he quickly added that it was fine as long as his surname wasn't Di.
Ling Yun looked serious and said, "Among these people, you should be the one with the highest realm, right?"
This question was easy to answer. Li Piaoyang nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said, "You have sharp eyes. Indeed, my current realm is at the peak of Qi Refinement Stage Six."
"What about those two people?"
Ling Yun pointed to the two people behind Li Piaoyang. They were the only two remaining Deacons of the Sky Sword Sect.
"Oh, one of them is Guo Ping and the other is Zheng Xiuyi. They are both Deacons of the Sky Sword Sect and are at the peak of Qi Refinement Stage Five."
Before the two of them could speak, Li Piaoyang took the initiative to report their names and even their realms in detail.
Ling Yun asked, "It seems that no one in the entire Sky Sword Sect has a higher realm and position than the three of you, right?"
"Yes!"
This time, the three of them answered at the same time.
"Very well, as long as your surname isn't Di, then there's no problem."
Ling Yun nodded and said calmly. Then, he suddenly shouted, "All of you, listen carefully. Those who don't have the surname Di and have nothing to do with the Di Family, stand aside!"
Whoosh!
With that order, the crowd surged instantly. After some noise, more than two hundred people were quickly divided into two groups, separated by a distance of five feet.
Ling Yun scanned the area with his Divine Perception and realized that more than one hundred and fifty people had been separated. There were still more than seventy people left in the original crowd. Their faces were pale as they looked at each other.
Many people's legs began to tremble. They probably guessed that their fates would not be good, and their faces were deathly pale.
"There are over seventy people. It's no wonder that the Heavenly Sword Sect could become the Di Clan's domain."
Looking at these people, Ling Yun suddenly laughed and said, "I've already said that I won't kill the innocent, so you don't have to be afraid."
"But …"
"When I do things, I don't like to leave behind future troubles for myself. So, I'll have to trouble you a little."
Ling Yun had crippled Di Heming, Di Xiaozhen, and Di Heyi. He had already formed an irreconcilable enmity with the Di Family. Of course, he wouldn't let these people leave just like that.
He could tell that the overall cultivation level of these 70-odd Di Family members was higher than that of the 150-odd Di Family members. If both sides were to fight now, the 70-odd Di Family members would be able to emerge victorious easily.
In other words, if these people wanted to take revenge, they could easily wipe out the Ling Family. This was something Ling Yun would never allow.
Moreover, not only the Ling Family, but the Qin Family would also be in danger.
"All of you, cripple your own martial arts."
Ling Yun did not hesitate to state his request directly.
"Ling Yun, you … you're going too far!"
The Di Family members already knew that even if all of them joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for Ling Yun. However, they were all cultivators after all, and many of them still had some guts. When they heard that Ling Yun wanted them to cripple their own martial arts, some of them were instantly indignant.
"Oh? Going too far? "
Ling Yun laughed coldly. "I don't want to waste my breath explaining to you, and there's no need for that. If you want to blame someone, blame your surnames."
No one was a fool. Ling Yun's last sentence was clear enough, and he believed that the Di Family members understood what he meant.
"If you listen to me, at least you can live. After crippling your own martial arts, I will let you leave this place. I won't stop you."
After that, Ling Yun didn't say anything else. He let these people choose.
"Ling Yun, you bastard, I'll kill you!"
For cultivators, crippling their own martial arts was a fate worse than death. It was impossible that no one would resist.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
Suddenly, more than ten people from the Di Family flew out and pounced on Ling Yun, wanting to fight him to the death.
"It seems like you've already discussed this?"
Ling Yun shook his head and sighed. Although he admired these people's guts, he was merciless when he attacked.
With a single thought, the Yin Yang Astral Qi Sword flew out and shuttled like lightning. Chi, chi, chi, chi …
The Yin Yang Astral Qi Sword accurately pierced between the eyebrows of these people. Whoever rushed to the front would die the fastest. In the end, all of them fell to the ground, dead.
"I'm right here. I'll give you a chance. If you don't want to cripple your own martial arts, you can resist. However, there's only one outcome for you, and that is death."
Ling Yun's voice was cold and clear.
Those who had resisted and died were all members of the Di Family. They were also the relatives of these people. Some were angry, some began to cry in grief, but most of them had ashen faces. They knew that resistance was futile.
Even Di Heyi, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, had been killed by Ling Yun. Even the Heaven Sword Sect's Ancestral Master was useless against Ling Yun. What else could they do?
"As the saying goes, it's better to live a bad life than to die a good death. Since the Sky Sword Sect has been defeated, we are now meat on the chopping block. Since he has spared our lives, what else can we say? Let's cripple our own martial arts. "
Among the Sky Sword Sect's disciples with the surname Di, a rather prestigious old man spoke up. He was at the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refinement, and he didn't resist. After he finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled, and his Sword Qi automatically dispersed.
Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body swayed unsteadily.
Since the rest of the Di Family didn't jump out to resist and didn't want to commit suicide, they could only follow suit. They all dispersed their Dantian and destroyed it.
Ling Yun's eyes were cold and emotionless as he watched such a large group of people disperse their Dantian. This was something he had to do. He would never be merciful and let the tiger return to the mountain, which would lead to the destruction of the Ling and Qin Families.
As the elder of the Di Family said, he was already being merciful by letting these people leave alive.
"Ling Yun, can the Di Family leave now?"
After everyone had crippled their Dantian, the elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked Ling Yun in the eyes, and asked sternly.
Ling Yun waved his hand. "Go ahead."
The elder asked again, "Can you let us stay until dawn and pack up our valuables?"
Ling Yun nodded with a smile. "Of course, but only valuables. You are not allowed to take anything related to cultivation resources."
"Tomorrow morning, all of you will gather at the foot of the Human Peak. I will check it myself."
"…"
The elder was speechless. After a while, he suddenly stamped his feet, waved his hand, and said, "All the disciples of the Di Family, take the bodies of your family members and follow me!"
Therefore, the people of the Di Family endured the humiliation and grief, carried the bodies of their family members, supported each other, and left the peak. They went home and packed their belongings.
It was half past one in the morning. An hour ago, they were still holding a grand banquet and setting up a trap, waiting for Ling Yun to come in. But now, the Di Family had completely collapsed, and a cultivation family had perished.
