Chapter 119 The Death of Xue Pan
As for Chen Xietong, he was so terrified that he immediately begged for mercy.
"My lord, I truly had no idea that Shen Taozhu was one of your people! Otherwise, I would never have allowed my daughter to marry Xue Pan."
The woman surnamed Chen pleaded, "My lord, Xue Pan deserves to die, but I and my son are innocent. Please, spare our lives!"
"I am a member of the Chen family, not a member of the Xue family!"
"Noisy."
Chen slapped his ear, his face showing displeasure.
Immediately afterwards, a sword flashed, instantly ending the lives of Chen Shi, his daughter, and Xue Pan's son.
"What are you talking about, the Chen family?"
"Don't you think your son will hold a grudge against me when he grows up? How ridiculous."
"I am not a fool who is so kind as to wait for you to come to my door for revenge. Besides, if I let you go, wouldn't that displease the master? If you have anyone to blame, blame yourself for insisting on getting involved with the Xue family."
"You, you beast! You even dared to lay a hand on Qing'er, who had just given birth!"
Xue Pan's eyes were bloodshot as he watched his wife and children die tragically before him, and he cursed incessantly.
"You'll get your comeuppance! What kind of demon-slaying guard are you? I think you're clearly a demon yourself!"
"Don't say things like that."
Chen Shi looked disdainful.
"The big shots above us in the Demon Extermination Guard and the big shots in the Pill Department are much more like demons than I am. If you, Xue Pan, hadn't offended the lord with your filth and hypocrisy, how could I have done something like destroying my family?"
"Speaking of which, you can ask around in your next life; all these years, I can truly be considered merciful!"
"You, the dignified Commander of the Demon Extermination Guard of Dongshan, actually obey the orders of a rogue cultivator! You're willing to be a dog of a rogue cultivator?!"
Xue Pan then realized that Chen Shi had come for Lu Qingyun.
Shen Taozhu and Chen Shi were actually Lu Qingyun's people!
A mere talisman master can command a high-ranking demon-slaying official!
"That's such an awful thing to say."
Chen looked up and casually took a bite of a chicken leg.
"Do you understand, loyal dog? I am not your dog, sir; I am your loyal dog!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Pan was both angry and furious.
"Loyal dog, what a loyal dog! I never imagined that my Xue family, who sacrificed for our country, would perish at the hands of such despicable scoundrels! Attack! In the next life, I, Xue, will surely avenge myself on you!"
"The Great Yun Kingdom will certainly not let you off the hook!"
"Well said!"
Chen clapped his hands.
"However, you won't die so easily if you want to. I came here on the orders of my lord, leaving you for last so that you can first experience the pain of your entire clan being wiped out, and then properly feel the agony of being slowly sliced to death!"
After saying that, Chen Shi channeled his magic power, and the blade of the magical weapon began to cut into Xue Pan's flesh.
Xue Pan screamed in agony.
Only when he was on his last breath and could no longer utter a curse did Chen Shi slowly say, "Xue Pan, do not say that I am cruel."
"When you drove the pregnant Shen Taozhu out of the Xue family, causing her unborn child to die tragically along with her, did you ever imagine this day would come?"
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and although it may not necessarily affect me, what you have suffered today is all your retribution!"
"What?! Shen Taozhu was already pregnant back then?!"
Xue Pan, barely breathing, spoke with difficulty, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Yes! And it's a boy."
Chen Shi shook his head, drew his ring blade from his waist, and was about to finish him off.
Thus, the entire Xue family, comprising 272 people, was executed.
This matter did not attract the attention of others. Chen Shi handled the aftermath cleanly. If anyone were to investigate, it would only be that the Xue family had indeed colluded with the Demonic Sect.
"My lord, that is indeed the case. I have confirmed that everyone in the Xue family and the Chen family who was involved in Miss Shen's death has been executed."
Chen returned to the Dongshan residence to report.
Lu Qingyun nodded and bestowed three [Sword Light Talismans] upon Chen Shi.
Chen was overjoyed. He knew that the master would never treat him unfairly.
Sure enough, the life-saving talismans that I used back then have been returned, and they even gave me two extra ones!
After Chen left, Lu Qingyun entered meditation again, muttering to himself:
"Regardless of right or wrong, one of the things on my mind has finally been relieved. It seems that my Dao heart is now at ease, and I should complete the cultivation of the [Spirit-Seizing Wood] to perfection."
