Exterminate Nine Generations, Leave No One Alive

"Oops, I went too far!"

Princess Vina spoke as she watched the burly men rush out one after another, Soul Rings pulsing around them. There was one Five-Ring Soul King and, incredibly, three four-ring Soul Elders!

Su Mu listened and could not help wanting to laugh.

He knew it was hard not to laugh, but that was simply the truth. He absolutely could not laugh right now—if he did, everything would be over.

Gao Huazhishou stumbled out of the residence. His face was filled with cowardice, but as he looked at the surrounded Su Mu and Princess Vina, a vicious gleam appeared in his eyes.

"You two! You two have gone too far! Today, I'll make your lives a living hell!"

"Hong Xing Thirteenth Sister? That fried-chicken-selling trash? You two think you're worthy of opposing the Gao Family?"

As Gao Huazhishou spoke, he casually waved his hand. The Five-Ring Soul King beside him immediately collapsed.

Gao Huazhishou turned to look at the Soul King, who had fallen asleep soundly on the ground, and his anger flared.

"You bastard! Why are you putting on an act at a time like this? There's only a three-ring Soul Elder and a one-ring Soul Master on the other side. What are you afraid of?!"

Gao Huazhishou's expression twisted viciously. The Soul Tool in his hand activated, and he turned toward them.

Yet the instant he turned, an aged figure appeared not far in front of him.

"This old woman is Zhi Cong. You've got some nerve, brat. You dared disrespect the princess of the Heaven Dou Empire and disrespect the family of my Body Sect?"

Su Mu looked at the old woman who had appeared so suddenly. Behind her hovered the phantom of an enormous head, connected to the back of her neck.

Within his spiritual sea, Cyrene immediately warned, "Be careful. Her spiritual power is very strong!"

The next moment, before Cyrene could finish speaking, an immensely powerful spiritual force locked onto Su Mu.

Yet even after examining him for a long while, Douluo Zhi Cong still found nothing unusual.

Suppressing the doubt in her heart, she reached out and gripped Gao Huazhishou's head with one hand.

Strange. She had clearly sensed an extremely powerful spiritual force probing her just now, so why could she not detect it?

Douluo Zhi Cong was puzzled. She was a level ninety-three spiritual-type Soul Master, one of the few spiritual-type Soul Masters on the entire Douluo Continent. By all reason, such powerful spiritual force should have been close to her own level, yet it had vanished without a trace, as though it had never existed in this space at all.

Still puzzled, Douluo Zhi Cong reached out and crushed Gao Huazhishou to death.

A host of royal guards surrounded the entire Gao Residence.

Soon, the members of the Gao Family were dragged out, some even bound in iron chains.

Princess Vina removed her black robe and respectfully bowed to Douluo Zhi Cong. After all, her Martial Soul was the Brain, which meant she could also be considered a member of the Body Sect.

"Thank you, Elder, for rescuing me."

At the sight of Princess Vina, Douluo Zhi Cong immediately smiled. Vina's Martial Soul was the Brain and likewise belonged to the spiritual type. To her, Vina was the perfect inheritor for her disciple.

At that moment, before Su Mu left, he looked at Gao Huazhishou's elder brother and family.

Before he could say anything, the generals found that black powder inside the Gao Residence.

Douluo Zhi Cong immediately noticed it. She took it into her hand and activated her spiritual power, exposing the aura within.

Under the ravaging force of her spiritual power, a stream of pitch-black air slowly dissipated, revealing itself as a drug capable of driving people berserk and robbing them of their reason.

"This is something only Evil Soul Masters possess. Where did you get it?"

"And you had the nerve to attack the princess?"

One of the generals pointed his firearm at the Gao Family patriarch. The aging man still did not understand how his family had offended Princess Vina. All he could do was repeatedly smash his forehead against the floor.

"Your Highness, this commoner is merely a merchant from the Outer City. I have never even had the chance to come into contact with Your Highness, much less behold your noble face. How could I possibly harm you? This must be a misunderstanding!"

"A misunderstanding? I don't think so!"

"You indeed wouldn't dare harm me, much less send people to track my movements. After all, I am the princess of the Heaven Dou Empire. If you wanted to touch me, you would have to consider how many heads you have first."

"But does that give people like you the right to occupy the Outer City for business, oppress ordinary merchants, stalk and murder others, and even force people into marriage?"

Princess Vina's voice was forceful and resonant.

Yet the old man sprawled on the ground still did not understand why arranging a marriage for his eldest son alone had offended the princess.

Could it be that the young lady of the Sai Family knew Her Highness and had complained to her?

At that thought, the old man immediately kowtowed. "This old man was foolish! I beg Your Highness to forgive me! I will go to the Sai Family at once, personally apologize to Miss Sai, and offer most of my family's assets to her!"

As the old man spoke, Princess Vina looked at his crass, worldly manner with helplessness. An ordinary merchant could go no further than this.

She then pointed at the eldest son kneeling on the ground. "Your two precious sons worked together to scatter a drug in the military camp of my Heaven Dou Empire, a drug that could gather Soul Beasts and drive them berserk!

"If not for the senior from the Body Sect who happened to be there that day, I might have died in that Soul Beast tide as well. What do you have to say for yourselves?

"Do the lives of poor ordinary people in the Outer City not count as lives? Does that mean you can do whatever you please in the Outer City?"

After Princess Vina finished speaking, she casually waved her hand. The entire Gao Family was exterminated to the ninth generation, leaving not a single one alive.

Looking at the now-empty courtyard, Vina turned to Douluo Zhi Cong, who was waiting nearby, and immediately bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for rescuing me today. However, after you return to the Body Sect, please thank that healing-type Titled Douluo who helped me in the military camp."

"I know she cannot reveal herself and is part of the Body Sect's hidden strength, so I did not tell anyone in my family. Even outsiders would only think she was a passing Titled Douluo."

As Princess Vina spoke, Douluo Zhi Cong wore a baffled expression. Since when had the Body Sect gained a Titled Douluo with healing abilities?

And by such coincidence, that person had saved their princess not long ago?

If Zhi Cong remembered correctly, the Sect Master had only ended the sect tournament that had been going on for nearly two months a few days ago. All the Titled Douluo should have been present then. How could someone have gone out and conveniently saved their little princess?

But seeing the earnest expression on Princess Vina's face, Douluo Zhi Cong's clever brain began to turn.

Could it be that the Sect Master had secretly nurtured a healing-type Titled Douluo, making her the Body Sect's hidden foundation for when it had no path of retreat?

As expected of the Sect Master who had led the Body Sect into its golden age.

Although Douluo Zhi Cong thought this, she still accepted Princess Vina's thanks. She reached out to help Vina straighten from her bow and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Once I return, I will naturally pass along your gratitude to her."

"But Princess Vina, what brought you to concern yourself with affairs in the Outer City so suddenly?"

As Douluo Zhi Cong spoke, her gaze fell on Su Mu.

Her eyes examined Su Mu. He was extremely young, with a bone age of only six, yet he possessed seventeen levels of Soul Power.

Even the Body Sect's young sect master, Ao Tian, had never possessed such talent.

Yet Douluo Zhi Cong could not sense the presence of a Body Martial Soul within Su Mu. She could only sense that his vitality was exceptionally abundant. He should be a healing-type Soul Master, nothing more.

Could it be this boy?

Douluo Zhi Cong looked at Jiang Hao. Su Mu was neither servile nor overbearing, and there was even a rare calmness and composure in his eyes, causing Douluo Zhi Cong to form a few suspicions.

At this moment, Princess Vina began pushing Douluo Zhi Cong away. "Elder Zhi Cong, you must be very busy, right? There's no need for you to worry over these trivial matters of ours. Remember to thank that Titled Elder properly for Vina after you return."

As Princess Vina spoke, she immediately took Su Mu's hand and left the place.

Su Mu was pulled away as well, finally breaking free from the state of being mentally locked onto. Cold sweat had soaked his back.

Zhi Cong had secretly observed him three times throughout the whole process. Together with the two open examinations before and after, that made five times. She had practically seen the color of his underwear.

That old woman was seriously perverted.
