Chapter 118 Kneel Down

The Wan family patriarch’s roar, amplified by his cultivation, woke everyone up.

The allied forces stopped their infighting and looked around blankly. They saw Wan Hongzhuang holding the corpses of Duanmu Wenda and Ba Xin in his hands, but Qi Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be found.

They saw Wan Lei slaughtering like a madman in the field, and the Wan family army outflanking them.

Without their generals, there was no one to tell them whether to unite to fight the enemy or kneel down and surrender.

But if they fought, could they defeat two Nascent Soul stage experts, plus Wan Lei, whose combat power was comparable to the Nascent Soul stage?

They couldn't.

Then, surrender.

Someone, no one knew who, was the first to drop their weapon and kneel on the ground.

Then came a chain reaction, and a large number of invading soldiers knelt down.

Whether they were early-stage Qi Training soldiers, Foundation Establishment cultivators, or Core Formation experts, they all knelt down.

Except for two figures.

Those two young figures were only Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, and compared to the surrounding kneeling Core Formation experts, they were inconspicuous.

Qi Xiu,

Ba Ernu.

They stood side by side, covered in blood, their clothes torn. They hadn't been fighting, just resisting the allied forces who tried to attack them.

"Kneel down."

Wan Lei flew in front of them, expressionless, looking down at them.

"Wan Lei, a Qi family cultivator can be killed but not humiliated. I am a dignified sword cultivator, and I will never kneel to the enemy and live on in disgrace..."

"Oh, shut up. So righteous and awe-inspiring. You make it sound like my Wan family is invading your home!

Qi Xiu, remember, it was your Qi family, your three families, who came to attack the Wan family. My Wan family didn't beg you to come!

You're not strong enough, you were defeated, and now you're acting all high and mighty. Bah, what a piece of trash! When you were killing those poor, innocent Wan family members, why weren't you so high and mighty?!

Spit!"

Wan Lei spat on Qi Xiu's face.

He despised this kind of person the most.

When you kill others, it's justified, but when you're defeated, others aren't allowed to humiliate you?

What the hell? Where was your honor earlier?

Qi Xiu stared blankly at Wan Lei, not even wiping the saliva off his face.

Wan Lei, who had been on par with him a few months ago, now had the strength to kill a Nascent Soul, and was the top figure in Qishan Prefecture.

And he, Qi Xiu, was still just a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

What did he have to be proud of?

"Wan Lei,"

Ba Ernu raised his head,

"Were you the one who saved me in the Guannan Prefecture cave back then?"

"It was me, so what? Now you're trying to build a relationship?"

"No, do whatever you want with me, I just want to say thank you."

"You're welcome, now kneel."

"I didn't kill any Wan family members. The Ba family forced me to come. The blood on my blade belongs to the Ba family!"

Wan Lei looked at Ba Ernu in surprise,

Ba Ernu's eyes were firm and frank.

"Then you don't have to kneel."

Wan Lei turned his head, and seeing that Qi Xiu hadn't knelt, he prepared to slap him.

"I'll return your favor now!"

Wan Lei lowered his palm,

"What, are you going to kill yourself?"

"..." Ba Ernu.

"I have two pieces of information, one to repay your favor, and the other to get you to promise me one thing!"

"Oh, so you're a little informant? Tell me about it."

Wan Lei became interested and didn't plan to bully Qi Xiu anymore, looking at Ba Ernu with interest.

"The first piece of information is that the Ba family patriarch bid on the Heqi Huyuandan (Harmony Qi Protection Nascent Soul Pill)."

"I know that, I was there at the time. Tell me something useful."

"Well, he took the Heqi Huyuandan half a month ago. Just before the internal strife, I received a message from a trusted source within the family,

The Ba family patriarch has already passed the Heavenly Tribulation and broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and is on his way here to help."

"That's good information, but too bad, the battle here is already over. What's the other piece of information?"

"That piece of information is just to repay your favor. For the next piece of information, I want you to promise me a condition."

"A condition? Is it to have the Wan family protect you? After all, many people next to you heard what you said. You betrayed the Ba family like this, they definitely won't let you go."

Wan Lei glanced around at the kneeling people and chuckled.

"No, if my condition is met, you can kill me."

"Tell me about it."

"I want you to kill the Ba family patriarch."

"Oh?"

Wan Lei looked Ba Ernu up and down.

He remembered that Qi Manyao had said that this Ba Ernu had suffered a lot of bullying since childhood. His father was an illegitimate son of a collateral branch, and he was drunk all day long. His mother was a maid.

She watched her father kill her mother with her own eyes, and then she killed her father.

"Do you resent the Ba family that much?"

"The Ba family is just using me to kill people. I'm also using the Ba family's resources to cultivate. It's all mutual exploitation, there's no resentment.

I've already killed all the people who bullied me."

"Then why..."

"The Ba family patriarch is a beast!"

Ba Ernu gritted his teeth.

Wan Lei was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Ba Ernu with suspicion.

Could it be that the Ba family patriarch was so old, and this Ba Ernu was only a teenager, yet he could do such a beastly thing?

That wasn't the point. The point was that Ba Ernu was a member of the Ba family. Even if her father was a collateral branch, he was still related to the Ba family patriarch by blood.

If you really wanted to calculate it, the Ba family patriarch should be Ba Ernu's grandfather's generation.

A beast, not even letting his own granddaughter go!

But this Ba Ernu wasn't good-looking either, as thin as a monkey and dark-skinned. How could the Ba family patriarch bring himself to do it?

Could it be that this kind of taboo made him even more excited?

Ba Ernu looked puzzled.

She watched Wan Lei's expression change, sometimes angry, sometimes suspicious, and sometimes even a little excited.

What was this guy thinking?

She turned her head to look at Qi Xiu, only to find that Qi Xiu also had a suspicious and wicked smile on his face,

A smile that all men understood.

Ba Ernu suddenly understood.

"Hey, you two, what are you thinking about?!"

"No, no, I'm not thinking about anything."

"Are you thinking about that kind of thing?"

"Definitely not thinking about that kind of thing!"

"You say you're not thinking about that kind of thing, how do you know what kind of thing I'm talking about if you're not thinking about it?"

"So it really is that kind of thing?"

"Bah! It's not that kind of thing!"

"Then we're not thinking about that kind of thing either!"

Confused, twisted, let's sort it out...

Ba Ernu patted her little head and said angrily,

"The beastly thing I'm talking about is that the Ba family patriarch valued my aptitude,

He often grabbed me, drew my blood, and used it to cleanse the meridians and marrow of his direct descendants to improve their cultivation, causing me to be in a weak state for many years, making it difficult to improve my cultivation, and greatly damaging my vitality!

It's not the beastly thing you're thinking about!"

"Oh, so that's how it is, no wonder you're so thin."

Saying this, Wan Lei quickly laughed and said,

"This thing is indeed beastly, isn't it digging at someone's foundation?"
