"It seemed Fellow Daoist Lei would rather let the cultivation manuals of Longevity Hall gather dust on a high shelf than use them to trade for the lives of his clan's younger generation."

After Song Wen finished speaking, the tentacles wrapped around Lei Feiguang delivered him before Song Wen.

"Steward Lei, do not blame me. It is your Lei Clan ancestor who refuses to save you; it is not my fault."

"No... Senior Cui Huo, Ancestor... save me..." Lei Feiguang screamed in terror.

The tentacles suddenly tightened. Lei Feiguang exploded into a cloud of blood, and both his flesh and soul were absorbed by the sea of blood.

"You little brute, how dare you!"

Lei Yue's eyes instantly turned crimson, blazing with towering fury.

Though rage filled his heart, with the lives of the six Golden Core clan members beside him in mind, he could only forcibly suppress his impulse and did not dare act rashly.

"Slaughtering the innocent—this is simply the conduct of the demonic path," Lei Yue cursed angrily.

Song Wen smiled faintly, his smile steeped in deep mockery.

"Your Lei Clan captures Rogue Cultivators everywhere to prolong your lives. That is true demonic conduct. I kill members of your Lei Clan to uphold justice on Heaven's behalf, hahaha..."

Song Wen paused, looked at Mi He, and continued.

"And you, Mi He, Supreme Elder of the Beast Taming Sect. You send your own sect's Golden Core elders to others to extend their lives. Is that the conduct of the righteous path?"

Mi He glanced at Lei Yue beside her and said in a deep voice.

"Why waste words with him? Kill him outright, and only then can we eliminate all future trouble."

Lei Yue hesitated because he feared harming the hostages, but Mi He had no such concerns.
