"Son-in-law! Son-in-law! For the sake of us being Nan Family members, spare our lives! We were just confused for a moment, blinded by greed!"
Just then, Nan Shunda, Nan Yuantong, and others hurriedly kowtowed to Qin Guan, hoping he would spare their lives.
Nan Yunqi, standing by, couldn't help but curse, "You traitors and running dogs, how dare you beg for mercy? You all deserve to die!"
Thinking of how these people had colluded with outsiders to attack his own kin, Nan Yunqi wished he could tear them to pieces.
Nan Shunda suddenly looked at Nan Yunqi in anger:
"We also have Nan Family blood flowing through us, Nan Yunqi. If you kill all of us, there won't be many Nan Family members left. How will you face our Old Ancestor in the future?"
Nan Yuantong, standing nearby, also hurriedly said:
"If you kill us, future generations of the Nan Family will know that you, Nan Yunqi, were a butcher who killed your own kin. Your actions will leave a sinful mark in the Nan Family's genealogy!"
Nan Yunqi let out a scoff, "Right and wrong will be judged by future generations. But don't worry, after you die, I will order your names to be written in the genealogy, with a note added: 'Family Traitors,' to serve as a warning to posterity!"
"You! Nan Yunqi, you will die a horrible death!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Shunda and the others were furious and almost went mad. If Nan Yunqi did this, they would be cursed by every generation of descendants, becoming sinners for eternity.
"Nan Yunqi, the Nan Family will soon be ruined by you. Don't think you're so great just because you have a son-in-law who is a fifth-tier Martial Cultivator. Let me tell you, he has not only offended the Spirit Sword Academy but also the Cloud Mist Sect, two top powers in Qingzhou. Can a mere fifth-tier Martial Cultivator like him stop them?" Nan Shunda said menacingly.
Just then, seven or eight Nan Family disciples behind Nan Shunda and Nan Yuantong suddenly crawled out.
"Family Head, we were all instigated by the First Elder and Second Elder to defect to the Xiao Family. We regretted it the moment we joined the Xiao Family. The Xiao Family doesn't treat us like humans at all. Family Head, we know we were wrong, please spare us!"
Now that they discovered Qin Guan was a powerful fifth-tier Martial Cultivator, and under his leadership, every Nan Family member had a Mysterious Tier cultivation technique, plus the Nan Family had a close relationship with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, they now deeply regretted leaving the Nan Family and hoped Nan Yunqi would accept them back.
Seeing several Nan Family members pleading bitterly, Nan Yunqi's heart wavered slightly. He looked at Qin Guan, about to say something, when Qin Guan said sternly, "They didn't consider themselves Nan Family members when they drew their swords."
"Yes, Son-in-law is right. They didn't consider us a family when they attacked us just now!" Jia Quan said hurriedly. He knew that the Family Head, Nan Yunqi, had a fatal flaw: he was always hesitant and overthinking, not ruthless enough.
"Family Head, these traitors must not be spared!"
The other Nan Family members nodded in agreement.
Nan Yunqi took a deep breath, "You are right. Traitors cannot be tolerated!"
Nan Yunqi also understood that he shouldn't pity these traitors, but deep down, he still found it difficult to act.
"Not a single one left!"
At this moment, Qin Guan spoke.
Hearing this, Chen Guanxiang took the lead, followed closely by Old Mo and the others. Jia Quan, Nan Chang, and others also charged forward.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Soon, the Cloud Mist Sect, Xiao Family, Song Family, and many other participating family forces were all killed, leaving no survivors.
Many family forces had originally intended to seize the Nan Family's cultivation techniques and martial skills, but in the end, their momentary greed brought their families utter destruction.
At this moment, the Nan Family courtyard was a river of blood, with bodies lying scattered everywhere, emitting a pungent smell of gore.
Many people present had probably never killed as many people as they did today. Especially the Nan Family members, who were usually bullied. Let alone killing others, they were fortunate if others didn't kill them.
After this incident, their state of mind had undergone significant changes.
The most direct realization was that weakness meant being beaten, and even potentially killed.
Nan Yunqi ordered people to clean up the battlefield and dispose of the bodies.
Not long after, in the Nan Family hall.
Jiang Lianyue came to Qin Guan's side, "Qin Guan, my Heavenly Treasure Pavilion made a big bet today, how will you compensate us?"
Hearing this, Nan Rou, standing beside him, quickly said gratefully, "If it weren't for Sister Lianyue's help today, we might have all been killed by these people!"
Thinking of being surrounded by so many people earlier, if it weren't for the defensive formations set up by the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's formation masters, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Nan Rou still felt a chill when she thought about it.
Qin Guan nodded upon hearing this. He had been careless this time, but while there were disadvantages, there were also benefits. Flowers in a greenhouse would never grow. This was a good training opportunity for the Nan Family disciples.
"Don't just nod, show some sincerity!" Jiang Lianyue nudged Qin Guan impatiently.
