She had never experienced anything like this before.

Now, the power of life and death was hers to decide.

How could she possibly choose?

"Ancestor, why don't you make the awakening for me!"

Thinking this, Song Yiyi looked towards where Song Aotian was, seeking his help.

"Your grandfather giving you the purple ring proves you have the ability to inherit the family."

"Now, you are the Family Head of this family, and all your decisions concern the future prosperity or ruin of the family!"

"My era has passed, and your era has just begun!"

"So, as the Family Head, what is your decision?"

Song Aotian said to Song Yiyi.

The meaning behind his words was obvious.

It was whether to kill these people or not, and Song Yiyi had to make the decision.

Song Yiyi bit her lower lip, unable to decide for a long time.

If she killed these people, they were still her relatives.

Even if they didn't consider her family.

But blood ties were undeniable.

If she didn't kill them, they had tried to kill her today. She didn't know if they would do the same in the future.

Keeping them would surely lead to endless trouble.

For a moment, she couldn't make up her mind.

In the past, all the family's affairs, big and small, were handled by her grandfather.

She had never formally dealt with such matters.

To suddenly ask her to decide, she truly couldn't.

She looked towards Jiang Chen for help.

Hoping he could give her an answer.

"Classmate Song Yiyi, this is your family matter. I am an outsider."

The Second Elder had been paying attention to all of this.

He knew that if these people wanted to live, it was all up to Song Yiyi's word.

"Slap!"

A loud sound broke the silence of the night.

The Second Elder, Song Tianshan, slapped himself hard and said tearfully, "Little girl Song, I watched you grow up, and I've always guided your cultivation. Can you forgive your Second Grandfather this time?"

"Your Second Grandfather was momentarily blinded by greed!"

"That's right, Little girl Song. Since childhood, you were the first person I thought of whenever there was anything good. Can you forgive your Third Grandfather this time, considering our past relationship?"

"Yes, Little girl Song, we know you are the kindest. You won't kill us, right?"

Looking at these people.

Song Yiyi pursed her lips, her gaze complex. Her heart swayed, unable to make a decision.

However, Song Aotian clearly didn't care about these things.

He glanced at the time.

"Time is almost up. Little girl Song, your decision is..."

"Do you kill these traitors to the family or not?"

Song Yiyi, who was called upon, remained silent for a long time.

She really didn't know how to respond.

After all, she had never dealt with such matters before.

"Little girl Song, you are not a child anymore. You are an adult, and moreover, the Family Head of the Song family."

"A Family Head must always resolve family issues when they arise!"

Song Aotian clearly had little patience left.

"If you cannot make a decision, these maggots of the family will be dealt with by this Ancestor."

"I..."

Song Yiyi looked at these relatives of hers.

For a moment, it was like watching a documentary of memories.

From childhood to adulthood.

These people treated me well.

Naturally, when my grandfather was still alive.

But now, my grandfather is no longer here.

They actually want to usurp the throne.

They even want to kill me for it.

They deserve to die!

She closed her eyes and said, "Ancestor, please spare their lives. After all, this matter has not caused any real harm yet."

Song Aotian did not offer any opinion on Song Yiyi's choice.

Instead, he said, "Good!"

"I will plant restrictions within their bodies. If they have even the slightest thought of betraying you, their fate will be to die with a shattered heart."

The Second Elder kowtowed heavily towards Song Yiyi. "Thank you, Family Head, for sparing my life."

"I am not killing you because of Grandpa!"

"I think if Grandpa were still here, he would definitely not want my hands to be stained with the blood of my own relatives."

This statement struck the Second Elder and the others like a heavy blow.

Their faces were filled with guilt and regret.

Regardless of the reason, at least the expressions they showed at this moment were sincere.

Led by the Second Elder, they kowtowed heavily towards Song Yiyi again. "We swear, in this life and this world, we will never betray the Family Head."

Song Aotian floated in the air and said to the members of the Song family, "Now that the internal strife within the Song family has been quelled, this Old Ancestor can retire with honor."

With that, Song Aotian and his sword disappeared.

The Song family elders who were kneeling dared not get up. Now that the Old Ancestor had awakened, even if he disappeared, he would definitely reappear.

They no longer had the courage to attempt any small tricks.

The internal strife within the Song family was considered over.

The Song family was firmly in Song Yiyi's control. She held the life-souls of those who had betrayed the family. Once these people harbored any malicious intent, they would face the consequence of their souls scattering.

Jiang Chen stood in place, unmoving.

It wasn't that he wanted to stay.

It was that he simply couldn't leave.

Having to confront the Supernatural Abilities of so many experts at once.

His Soul Power was completely depleted.

He didn't want anyone to see his current state.

He pretended to stand there as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his ear.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission to rescue Song Yiyi. You have received a Gift Pack!]

A Gift Pack, a Gift Pack!

Only by completing randomly appearing special missions would special rewards appear.

Rescuing Song Yiyi had earned him a Gift Pack.

This was the first time Jiang Chen had received a reward like a Gift Pack.

Therefore, he was filled with anticipation.

He politely opened the Gift Pack in his inventory.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 3 Advanced Recovery Potions, 10000 Activation Points, 2 Antidotes, and 1 Sode no Shirayuki Upgrade Voucher!"

The Battle Soul Blade could still be upgraded.

Jiang Chen was very curious about this, but he should prioritize restoring his Soul Power first.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen took out an Advanced Recovery Potion and drank it.

His Soul Power was instantly restored.

This was too convenient.

Jiang Chen wished he could have a few more.

Unfortunately, the system was too stingy, only giving him three.

After restoring his Soul Power, Jiang Chen could naturally move freely.

He opened the Sode no Shirayuki Upgrade Voucher in his inventory again.

He checked the description of the Upgrade Voucher.

Upgrade Vouchers can upgrade Zanpakuto.

Allowing a Zanpakuto to be planned from A-Class to S-Class.

Sode no Shirayuki is a B-Class Zanpakuto.

It needs to evolve to A-Class, requiring 10 Upgrade Vouchers.

Ten?

Jiang Chen only had one in his hand.

But he didn't know what changes Sode no Shirayuki would undergo after being upgraded.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen directly upgraded Sode no Shirayuki.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for upgrading Sode no Shirayuki!]

Sode no Shirayuki has been upgraded, he wondered if there would be any changes.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen summoned Sode no Shirayuki.

He drew out Sode no Shirayuki's blade.

He found a layer of snowflake patterns on the blade.

When his fingers touched it, he could feel that Sode no Shirayuki's coldness had increased.

Each upgrade doubled Sode no Shirayuki's attack power.

If he upgraded Omniscience, he wondered what changes would occur.

"I'm already max level, if you want to upgrade me, forget it!"

At this moment, Omniscience walked out, wearing a white Shinigami uniform.

As the oldest Zanpakuto.

He naturally had his own privileges.

Now that Jiang Chen's Soul Power had recovered.

He could naturally come out and walk around.

Jiang Chen was not surprised by Omniscience's appearance.

He just wanted to say, could he come out less often?

Every time he came out, his Soul Power was greatly consumed.

"Omniscience, since you're out, can you tell me where the Black Mountain Old Demon's true form is?"

"Just ask Song Yiyi directly, asking me feels like a waste of my Soul Power."

Ask Song Yiyi...

Thinking this, Jiang Chen looked at the person who had been staring at him and asked, "Song Yiyi, I have something very important to tell you..."
