Five Dragons Sea Region, Azure Lotus Island.
Azure Lotus Pavilion. Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingqi, Wang Qingqing, Ye Haitang, Wang Tianmi, Wang Mengfen, Wang Huaxiao, Wang Youwei, Ouyang Mingyue, and Wang Jiyun stood before the spirit tablets of their ancestors. Several hundred more tablets had been added, with those of Wang Xiansheng and Wang Xianbin being the most conspicuous.
Wang Qingshan led the clansmen in offering incense and paying respects to those who had perished.
In this attack, the Wang Family had suffered 535 casualties. Two Core Formation Cultivators had fallen, along with more than forty Foundation Establishment Cultivators. The losses exceeded ten million.
Wang Jiyu's negligence had nearly brought ruin upon the family. Had the other clansmen not pleaded bitterly on his behalf, Wang Qingqi would have crippled him. Though spared the death penalty, he could not escape punishment: Wang Jiyu was confined for fifty years and given three hundred lashes of the Python Whip. The place of his confinement was rich in spiritual qi, so it would not hinder his cultivation, but he had been stripped of his status as one of the Eighteen Heroes. If he wanted to obtain a Core Formation Spiritual Object, he could only rely on Wang Qingqi.
Wang Jiyu's two concubines, along with the other Fang Family cultivators, were all arrested. In addition, the Wang Family had uncovered quite a few spies. These spies had been recruited by other powers, and they did not know who was behind it all; they had merely acted under orders.
After paying respects to the fallen clansmen, Wang Qingshan and the others walked out of Azure Lotus Pavilion.
Outside Azure Lotus Pavilion, dozens of cultivators wearing shackles knelt on the ground. They were all people who had directly or indirectly sold out the interests of the Wang Family.
