Black mist blotted out the sun.
A heavy, oppressive aura emanated from the black mist. The citizens of Heavenly God City couldn't help but shiver, and their skin tingled with pain.
Strangest of all, within the black mist, one could almost see a pair of blood-red eyes.
The eyes hovered in midair, like the eyes of an unsentient, bloodthirsty beast. Just by looking at them, one could sense a thick, bloody aura emanating from them.
Xiao Ting was the most dazzling within the black mist.
He wielded the Lightning Emperor Scepter, and silver-white lightning serpents coiled around him. He was the only light in this pitch-black world. Whether it was the citizens of the city or Ye Zichen and the others, they couldn't help but look at him.
"Lightning Emperor, you finally can't hide any longer!"
"What are you referring to, Alliance Head Ye?" Xiao Ting took to the air, and thunder rumbled in every direction. "You've brought people to attack the Lightning Emperor's estate's inner sect. If I don't show up, where will I put my face?"
"You know that's not what I'm talking about," snorted Ye Zichen.
"Be careful of your loose lips," snorted Xiao Ting.
"Ye-zi, what should we do now? Should we fight our way out, or should we kill him? "The Great Sage's transmission rang out in Ye Zichen's sea of consciousness.
Ye Zichen narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Upheaval Alliance's headquarters.
"Ignore him! Kill your way out!"
When the Upheaval Alliance experts heard this, they tried to break out of the encirclement, but the Lightning Emperor didn't stop them in the slightest.
"Do you think you'll be safe once you leave the Xiao Family estate? If you can attack the Lightning Emperor's estate, can I lead my people to attack the Upheaval Alliance? "
"Go ahead and try."
Ye Zichen smiled coldly, then continued to break out of the encirclement.
Strangely, Xiao Ting still didn't stop them. He allowed the Upheaval Alliance to slaughter the Xiao Family's outer sect clansmen. He could only watch helplessly as his clansmen coughed up blood and dyed the outer sect red.
The Xiao Family's outer sect clansmen had been slaughtered to the point of fear. They cowered and didn't dare rashly advance.
Inwardly, they were confused as to why the Emperor still hadn't done anything. The elders of the inner sect just stood there with folded arms. They showed no signs of trying to stop them.
Little did they know, it wasn't that they didn't want to move, it was that Xiao Ting had restrained them.
"This emperor will ask you one last time. Have you made a decision?"
Xiao Ting's question echoed through the Elders' minds at the same time. Their expressions flickered, because Xiao Ting's question just now left them in disbelief.
Some of these elders had come from outside because of the Xiao Family's reputation. After serving the Xiao Family for so long, they practically treated the Xiao Family as their own family. Every generation had been loyal to the Thunder Emperor's Manor.
Some of them were members of the Xiao Family, either direct or collateral.
Regardless of their background, they were fighting for the Thunder Emperor's estate and the future of the God Race.
Just now, the current Lightning Emperor, Xiao Ting, had told them that he was now a member of the Yao and Demons Alliance. He wanted to overthrow the God Dynasty, and he asked if they wanted to join him.
Betraying the God Race!
These elders didn't even dare to think about it. They were born in the God Race and had fought for the God Race for generations.
But now, they were being asked to betray the Demon Race and the Demon Race, who had been fighting with them for tens of thousands of years. The Lightning Emperor's Manor had been loyal for generations, and they had always taken it upon themselves to protect the God Race.
By doing this, Xiao Ting was basically trying to drag the Lightning Emperor's Estate into an abyss of eternal damnation!
"Emperor!"
"Hmph, I know what you want to say! The winner takes all. History will always be written by the victors. Now, do you think I'm committing treason? But if the God Race is destroyed, then I, Xiao Ting, will be the savior of the God Race! "
Xiao Ting's gaze was fierce, his eyes filled with undisguisable madness.
"The Lightning Emperor's Manor has been a vassal for far too long. I want to experience what it's like to be the God Emperor! Besides, the era is about to end. Do you really think Zhou Wu can lead the God Race to transcendence? He can't! But in my alliance, there's a master who can transcend. "
"Xiao Ting! You're messing around! The Lightning Emperor's Manor has been loyal for generations. I can't just watch as you lead the Lightning Emperor's Manor to destruction. "
The one who spoke was the Xiao Family's Third Elder. He was also one of the Lightning Emperor's Manor's older generation. In terms of seniority, he was Xiao Ting's uncle.
"Heh, then don't watch."
Rumble.
Suddenly, a lightning dragon several meters thick descended from the sky and completely swallowed the Clan Elder.
The other elders kept quiet out of fear. After dealing with the elder, Xiao Ting's eyes didn't waver in the slightest.
"It's your choice!"
"We solemnly obey the Emperor's decree. We are at your disposal!"
In the face of life and death, loyalty was insignificant. Very few people were willing to die for loyalty. That's why, throughout history, those who were loyal would be eulogized by future generations.
Especially these cultivators …..
The longer they lived, the more they wanted to live. Their former hot-bloodedness had long since been worn away by the passage of time.
All they wanted now was to survive. As for whether or not they'd betray the God Race, whether or not their future would be beyond redemption, that wasn't something they should be thinking about.
Their only choice was to agree. If they refused ….
It was death!
"Very good. You really haven't disappointed me," Xiao Ting transmitted through divine sense.
Xiao Ting's divine sense transmission rang out in the elders' seas of consciousness. They smiled bitterly and nodded fearfully.
Xiao Ting really isn't stopping us. "
They were about to leave the Xiao Family's territory. The outer sect members had long since been scared witless and didn't dare approach. However, Xiao Ting still stood in the sky, unmoving.
"You all noticed just now, right? Xiao Ting killed one of the family's higher-ups. Xiao Yan, do you know who he killed? "asked the Great Sage.
"That's my Third Grandfather!" Xiao Yan gnashed his teeth.
The onlookers froze. Didn't that mean Xiao Yan's Third Grandfather was Xiao Ting's Third Uncle?
He'd killed someone just like that!
Weren't they family?
"It looks to me like Xiao Ting's really gone crazy," said Xiao Yumei, biting her lip.
It wasn't just them. The Xiao Family's outer sect members noticed as well. They stared at the sky in terror. They couldn't understand why Xiao Ting would kill that elder.
But then, there was something else that made them feel even more despair …..
"What are you doing? Why aren't you stopping them? "
"Emperor, these people ….."
Xiao Ting didn't even give them a chance to speak. He coldly interrupted them.
"Are you afraid? The Xiao Family doesn't need weaklings like you. "
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky. At first, Ye Zichen and the others thought they were coming for them, but to their surprise, the lightning landed on the outer sect members instead.
Even as an enemy, Ye Zichen couldn't bear to watch. They watched helplessly as the Xiao Family's outer sect clansmen, from the gray-haired ones to the starving ones, were struck to death by the heavenly lightning …..
Not a single one survived!
