Yet even in the face of Ye Wanrou's actions, Chu Yun remained as cold as ever, his expression utterly unmoved.
He was no saint. If he had not crossed over and defied fate, changing his destiny, then back in the Nine Splendor Sect's main hall, his fate would not have been any better than theirs!
Because of one Ye Wanrou, the Ye Family had suffered a calamity that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
And was that not a kind of fate for them as well?
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Do it."
Chu Yun's expression was cold as he looked directly at Luo Feng and gave the order.
"Yes!"
Several Great Xia Shadow Guards struck at once. Like grim reapers, they entered the Ye Family's camp and began a frenzied slaughter!
In the span of a single breath, a hundred people died!
"Ye Fan!!"
"Ye Ming!! No!!"
Ye Kaishan and Ye Zhengxian, the two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Ye Family, watched their clansmen being slaughtered. Their hearts felt as though they were being carved by knives, and they howled themselves hoarse.
They wanted to stop it, but just as power surfaced in their hands, a Shattering Realm Shadow Guard released an aura that pinned both of them to the spot.
"No!!"
"No!! Chu Yun!! You're a demon!!"
"You're wantonly slaughtering innocent members of my clan! Even if you're a Great Xia Prince, retribution will come for you!!"
Ye Wanrou's hair was disheveled as she screamed herself hoarse. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with nothing but hatred and pain!
"I gave you a chance."
"If you still refuse to make a choice, then you can only watch helplessly as your Lineage is destroyed before your very eyes."
Chu Yun's expression did not change. His gaze remained as steady and calm as he looked at her.
The Asura Venerable watched his nephew behave this way, and his heart filled with satisfaction.
He was resolute and decisive, ruthless in killing, and possessed many methods.
He knew clearly what he wanted.
With such a disposition, even among the Great Xia Dynasty's Imperial Princes, he would not be inferior.
Ye Wanrou looked toward the Ye residence. By now, blood energy soared into the heavens within it, and corpses lay everywhere.
With every breath, another hundred members of the Ye Family lost their lives.
The Great Xia Shadow Guards were so brutal that some of the victims did not even retain intact corpses.
As for her family's ancestor and her father, they were like lambs awaiting slaughter, held down by the Shadow Guards' power, their eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
The entire Ye Family had suffered such an undeserved disaster because of her choice, Ye Wanrou's choice.
She, Ye Wanrou, was the Ye Family's sinner for all eternity!
"I... I choose..."
"I choose my father... I choose for him to live."
Forced to the end of the road, Ye Wanrou seemed to have every last ounce of strength drained from her after speaking those words.
It was not that she did not love her mother. On the contrary, her feelings for her mother were even deeper and closer.
But she could not wrong the Ye Family any further...
The Ye Family could not lose her father, its clan head.
"Stop."
After hearing Ye Wanrou's choice, a trace of playful amusement appeared at the corner of Chu Yun's lips, and he had the Shadow Guards halt for the moment.
Ye Wanrou's mother, Wang Yayun, gave a desolate smile after hearing her daughter's choice.
She slowly closed her eyes, and two streams of hot tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.
She had accepted her fate.
She did not blame her daughter for choosing her death, but that did not mean there was no grief in her heart.
"So you chose for your father to live."
"Good, good, good. What a filial daughter you are."
"Commander Luo, take her and do it." Chu Yun looked at Luo Feng with a smile.
Luo Feng nodded. A ray of finger light shot into Ye Wanrou's body.
Immediately afterward, terror and panic filled Ye Wanrou's face as her body moved involuntarily toward Wang Yayun.
"Chu Yun, wh-what are you going to do?!" Ye Wanrou asked in horror.
"Didn't you choose for your mother to die?"
"Since that's the case, then naturally I will have you do it yourself." Chu Yun smiled coldly.
"No!!"
"I don't want to! I don't want to!!" Ye Wanrou collapsed inside, struggling with all her strength against her own movements.
"Whether you want to or not is not for you to decide."
Chu Yun watched her. Under Luo Feng's control, Ye Wanrou arrived before Wang Yayun.
By now, tears streamed down Ye Wanrou's face. Her hands rose high beyond her control, and a sharp sword appeared in her grasp.
"NO!!!"
As the sword fell, Ye Wanrou screamed and wailed until her eyes nearly split open.
Wang Yayun died.
She had killed her own mother.
At that moment, she was utterly shattered. She no longer held the slightest hope of living, having suffered a fatal blow to her heart that could never heal.
"Yayun..."
Tears also burst from Ye Zhengxian's eyes. Seeing his family torn apart and scattered, his grief was immeasurable, while his hatred for Chu Yun rose to an entirely new level.
Ye Zhengxian's hatred had reached 90%. Ye Kaishan's hatred had reached 70%. Ye Wanrou's hatred had reached 99%.
Seeing that these people's hatred levels were about enough, Chu Yun gave the order without expression. "How boring."
"Alright. Destroy the Ye Family."
Luo Feng said, "Yes, Your Highness."
"Do it."
Luo Feng waved his hand, and the Shadow Guards immediately launched an endless massacre.
Bang! Bang!!
"Ah!!"
The Ye Family's buildings collapsed one after another, while its clansmen died in rapid succession within only a few breaths.
The entire Ye Family residence had completely become a mass graveyard.
Ye Kaishan and Ye Zhengxian were also struck down by a Shattering Realm Shadow Guard, their Nascent Souls directly annihilated with a single slash!
Ding! Congratulations, Host. A Shadow Guard killed Ye Zhengxian. You have obtained 1,000 Editing Points. Congratulations, Host. A Shadow Guard killed Ye Kaishan. You have obtained 1,050 Editing Points. Congratulations, Host. A Shadow Guard killed the Ye Family Grand Elder. You have obtained Editing Points...
Notification sounds rang out repeatedly in Chu Yun's mind once more.
"No!!"
"Chu Yun!! You broke your word!!"
"You clearly promised to spare my father and the others!!"
"You broke your word!! Chu Yun!!!"
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off! I curse you to die a miserable death, never to be reincarnated for all eternity!!!"
Ding! Ye Wanrou's hatred has reached 100%. Host, you may proceed with harvesting.
When Ye Wanrou saw her father and clansmen killed, she nearly went mad. She screamed and roared countless venomous words, cursing and insulting Chu Yun.
"I never said I would spare the Ye Family."
"As for your father, I merely allowed him to remain alive while you made your choice. When did I ever say I would not kill him afterward?"
"Ye Wanrou, you have finally experienced, from beginning to end, the taste of despair and collapse."
Chu Yun watched Ye Wanrou continue to curse madly, a cold and sinister smile appearing on his face.
"Uncle, is there any method that can raise a person's cultivation in the shortest possible time? Even if it only lasts for an instant and the consequence is death, that is fine."
Hearing Chu Yun's voice transmission, the Asura Venerable frowned. "Yun'er, what are you planning to do?"
"On the path of cultivation, do not be impatient for quick success. Do not do anything foolish."
Chu Yun smiled and explained, "Uncle, you've misunderstood."
"It's not for me. It's for Ye Wanrou."
The Asura Venerable did not understand. "Forcibly raising the cultivation of someone about to die?"
The Asura Venerable's tone was full of confusion. Clearly, he could not understand what purpose Chu Yun had in doing this.
Innate Realm, Qi Condensation Realm, Qi Gathering Realm, Qi Transformation Realm, Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Shattering Realm, Nirvana Realm, Venerable Realm, Heavenly Aspect Realm (Heavenly Venerable Realm), Supreme Realm...
Then, within every major realm, there were four minor stages: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak.
Now for the characteristics and abilities of the realms.
The Golden Core Realm was the condensation of a golden core. The Nascent Soul Realm was the birth of a Nascent Soul, which could leave the body.
The Shattering Realm brought a complete qualitative transformation to both body and soul. Its power could suppress seas and collapse mountains, crushing Nascent Soul cultivators.
The Nirvana Realm was the baptism of Nirvana fire. It could be called a life-and-death tribulation; pass it and gain control of Nirvana power, fail it and die outright.
The Venerable Realm achieved the Battle Venerable Body, similar to a dharma manifestation that reached heaven and earth. A single strike could easily destroy an entire city!
