623. Going Home
"Break down the door." Zhao Xiaojie spoke to Wu Zixuan behind him.
Wu Zixuan nodded. "Yes!"
He immediately turned to coordinate with the Demon Hunter Squad. Once both sides were ready, they struck at once, smashing apart every door of the Shen Family—the main entrance, side doors, and back doors. Everyone charged in together, yet they did not find a single living person.
The Shen Family had been wiped out.
When everyone gathered in the Shen Family's main hall, they discovered that the resentment surrounding the Demonic Spirit: Death Gate God, whose body was surging with demonic energy, was gradually dissipating.
The dense black aura, black mist, black smoke, and constantly twisting strands of shadow were dissolving on their own. The young man's face gradually became clear again.
A faint smile still hung from the corners of his lips. Was it the satisfaction of having avenged a great hatred?
Zhao Xiaojie had the illusion that it was.
An experienced old Demon Hunter gestured for everyone not to approach any farther and not to provoke him. It would be enough to let him resolve his resentment on his own.
There was no hard-fought battle as expected. Everyone waited until dawn was nearly upon them, when the young man from the Bao Family exhaled his final breath, completely closed his eyes, and died.
In the end, a mass of black power was extracted from his body and sealed away by the Demon Hunters.
After daybreak, the matter on Shuyang's side came to an end. As for what turmoil would follow after the internal balance of power in Shuyang changed, that was not something Zhao Xiaojie needed to consider for the time being.
His own Household could no longer interfere too deeply in the power struggles among the surrounding forces.
