Chapter 14 – Boundless Heavenly Venerable, remember this next time!
"Dead...dead?!"
Seeing Lin Xiongan, who was so arrogant just moments ago, now reduced to a pile of ashes, everyone was stunned.
Whether it was Xiao Zhan, Xiao Mingyi, Wang Long, or Lin Ming, their pupils trembled as if they had witnessed something terrifying, their bodies slightly shaking.
Lin Xiongan!
A being powerful enough to annihilate them all, now killed like an ant. The psychological impact of this scene was beyond shocking.
"No wonder she's the Medusa Queen, her power is terrifying."
Looking at the Medusa Queen floating beside Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but murmur in awe. With such a powerful being by Xiao Chen's side, he no longer had to worry about Xiao Chen's safety.
But the fact that Medusa's snake tail had transformed into legs—could it be that her cultivation had broken through to the Saint Realm?!
Recalling ancient records about the Naga Tribe, Xiao Zhan's body shuddered again, his eyes flickering with realization.
"Damn, turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, not even a hair left?!"
As the entire Xiao Family fell into a dead silence, Xiao Chen finally snapped back to reality. Seeing that Lin Xiongan had died without leaving a trace, he suddenly felt a sense of loss, his face showing immense sorrow.
That was a Celestial Grotto Realm expert! Equivalent to a fifth-tier demon beast, his corpse would have been worth a lot of points. Now, he was dead without a trace, completely erasing his life's value.
It was all because he was momentarily distracted by Cai Yan's legs and failed to stop her in time. Such a waste.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing Xiao Chen suddenly cry out in sorrow, Cai Yan thought something major had happened and quickly turned to ask him.
"Nothing, just felt that guy died too miserably, not even leaving a hair behind."
Hearing Cai Yan's question, Xiao Chen coughed and replied.
"The dead should be respected..."
"In the future, we should show some respect when killing people, at least leave their bodies intact so I can send them off properly."
"Amitabha, Boundless Heavenly Venerable, remember this next time."
After speaking, Xiao Chen put on a compassionate expression, making Cai Yan pause in surprise.
"Young Master wants to recycle their bodies, right?"
Recalling that Xiao Chen could recycle items, Cai Yan asked bluntly.
"Cough, cough, you straightforward girl..."
Being seen through by Cai Yan, Xiao Chen coughed twice to cover his embarrassment.
Cai Yan didn't know what "straightforward girl" meant, thinking Xiao Chen was praising her for being smart. She couldn't help but smile, then turned her gaze to the others.
"Shall we leave their bodies intact too?"
As her indifferent words fell, Wang Long and Lin Ming turned pale, collapsing to the ground in fear.
"Spare us, please!!"
"We are willing to submit to the Xiao Family, just spare our lives!!"
In their desperate plea for survival, Wang Long and the others begged frantically, their previous arrogance completely gone.
The Xiao Family members also looked at Xiao Chen, not offering any suggestions. Clearly, they left the decision of life and death to him.
"Alright, leave their bodies intact."
"After all, living is not easy, let them die with some dignity."
Xiao Chen glanced at Wang Long and the others, his voice cold and indifferent, showing no sympathy.
If he hadn't transmigrated and found the Medusa Queen, the entire Xiao Family would have been reduced to ruins. These people deserved to die!
"No!!"
"Fighting is forbidden in Floating Cloud City. If you kill us, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely punish you!!"
As Xiao Chen's words fell, Wang Long and Lin Ming screamed in terror, even bringing up the City Lord's Mansion in a desperate attempt to save their lives.
They hadn't thought about whether the City Lord's Mansion would punish them for trying to destroy the Xiao Family earlier.
In their pleas, Cai Yan raised her hand slightly. A ball of terrifying red fire ignited in her palm.
The next moment, Cai Yan crushed the fireball, sending countless sparks shooting out, transforming into serpents that roared and lunged at the crowd.
"Stop! Fighting is forbidden in Floating Cloud City. Are you trying to rebel?!"
As the fire serpents shot out, a voice like thunder boomed. Lord Liu Tiannan, filled with rage, descended upon the Xiao Family's grounds.
"City Lord, the Xiao Family not only killed our elders but now wants to annihilate us..."
Seeing Liu Tiannan arrive, Lin Ming and the others clung to him like drowning men grasping a lifeline, shouting desperately.
But before Lin Ming could finish his words, the fire serpents, like soul-reaping chains, pierced through the members of the Wang and Lin families in an instant, silencing them forever.
A group of Core Formation Realm experts and numerous Spirit Aperture Realm cultivators were killed on the spot. The horrifying scene left Liu Tiannan stunned.
Someone dared to massacre the high-ranking members of the Wang and Lin families right in front of him, the City Lord. Did they not regard him at all?!
"Should we kill him too?!"
As Liu Tiannan's anger surged and he was about to question the Xiao Family, a cold voice echoed. A terrifying killing intent locked onto him, making his hair stand on end.
At that moment, Liu Tiannan's body froze in mid-air, feeling as if he had fallen into an abyss. Any movement would surely result in his death!
"He's the City Lord of Floating Cloud City, not an enemy of the Xiao Family."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and waved his hand. This woman's killing intent was truly overwhelming.
Liu Tiannan must have sensed Cai Yan's presence and rushed over. Killing him would only bring more trouble, as his death would alert the imperial forces. Since Cai Yan was no longer in her Naga form, there was no need to stir up more trouble.
As Xiao Chen's words fell, Cai Yan withdrew her killing intent.
"What a terrifying woman..."
"She must be above the Mystic Mastery Realm, able to immobilize me with just her aura!"
Feeling the space around him return to normal, Liu Tiannan was drenched in cold sweat. He hadn't expected to be so close to death for the first time since becoming the City Lord of Floating Cloud City.
Who was this woman, and why did she obey the Xiao Family?!
"Lord Liu, the Wang and Lin families took advantage of our crisis, attempting to destroy the Xiao Family."
"Fortunately, we had the help of a benefactor and barely managed to counterattack. They deserved their fate!"
"You have no objections to this, right?"
As Liu Tiannan stood in shock, Xiao Chen spoke indifferently, raising his head. Cai Yan also locked her gaze on Liu Tiannan, making his hair stand on end again.
"No objections!!"
"The Wang and Lin families blatantly violated the City Lord's Mansion's rules, invading the Xiao Family with malicious intent. Their demise was well-deserved!"
Feeling the life-threatening danger again, Liu Tiannan quickly responded without hesitation. How could he dare object? If he said a single word of dissent, he might end up lying dead the next moment!
"Since the City Lord is so understanding, the Xiao Family won't go against your wishes."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, a cold glint in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Mingyi and the others.
"Elders..."
"Since Lord Liu agrees that the Wang and Lin families deserved their fate, please take some men and completely wipe them out."
"Also, check their markets and properties. If anyone dares to resist, I'll have my senior sister deal with them."
