Please, Spare Us!

"Why was the Amethyst Winged Lion King here?"

At that moment, countless people shared the same question, including Xiao Zhan, the clan chief, and Jia Lie Bi, the head of the Jia Lie Family.

Xiao Ning, who stood nearby, was especially stunned.

Even Xiao Xun'er had not expected this.

Although a Dou Emperor-level magical beast like the Amethyst Winged Lion King amounted to nothing to the Gu Clan,

Xiao Xun'er, who had grown up in Wutan City, had to admit it.

Within the Jia Ma Empire, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was indeed an overlord among magical beasts.

For something in a place like this to draw the Amethyst Winged Lion King's attention was truly inconceivable.

"Brother Xiao Yan, do you know why the Amethyst Winged Lion King came here?"

"The Amethyst Winged Lion King has always stayed in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and rarely ventures out. Why would he come here?"

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's puzzled expression, Xiao Yan smiled without saying much.

"What's going on?"

"Could some secret treasure have emerged here and attracted the Amethyst Winged Lion King?"

Jia Lie Bi looked utterly shocked, as did his son, Jia Lie Ao.

They had intended to deal with Xiao Yan quickly, never expecting such a sudden turn of events.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's arrival meant they might also suffer a devastating attack from the magical beast.

They grew nervous as a result.

Yet in the very next moment, something none of them had expected happened.

After descending from the sky, the Amethyst Winged Lion King prostrated himself on the ground, kneeling before Xiao Yan.

"Master."

The instant that word fell, everyone present was dumbstruck.

Had they not heard it with their own ears, they would never have believed that the mighty Tier-Six Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, had actually called Xiao Yan his master.

"What's going on? Master?"

Xiao Ning, who had been mocking Xiao Yan earlier, was dumbstruck on the spot, his face filled with shock.

As for Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan, along with Xiao Xun'er, the Xiao Clan's elders, and its younger members, every one of them froze.

"How is that possible? Xiao Yan is actually the Amethyst Winged Lion King's master? Did I hear that wrong?"

"The Amethyst Winged Lion King is a Tier-Six Magical Beast! How could a Dou Emperor-level powerhouse acknowledge Xiao Yan as his master?"

"I must be seeing things. I must have heard wrong. This is impossible."

The elders who had previously been so hostile toward Xiao Yan were all dumbfounded.

If this was true, it meant they had offended Xiao Yan beyond all hope of reconciliation.

If the Amethyst Winged Lion King truly was a subordinate or pet Xiao Yan had taken in,

then wouldn't a single word from him have the Amethyst Winged Lion King wipe them out in minutes? The mere thought left them trembling with fear.

The Jia Lie Family's people were in an even worse state.

"What's going on? Can someone tell me what this is?"

The Jia Lie Family's elders and its head, Jia Lie Bi, all froze.

Jia Lie Bi immediately lashed out at Jia Lie Ao.

"You bastard! Do you have any idea what trouble you've stirred up?"

"Xiao Yan has such terrifying power! Why didn't you tell us sooner?"

After suddenly receiving a slap, Jia Lie Ao looked utterly wronged.

Still bewildered, he immediately said,

"Father, I didn't know! How could Xiao Yan possibly-"

"There must be some misunderstanding. With Xiao Yan's mere Dou Zhe strength, how could he possibly command the Amethyst Winged Lion King?"

"His strength rivals that of a human Dou Emperor!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jia Lie Bi slapped him again.

"What good does saying that do now? Are you saying everything happening right before our eyes is fake? All of us are watching!"

After receiving another slap, Jia Lie Ao suddenly felt afraid.

For a moment, regret and despair even began to well up within him.

Everyone in the Jia Lie Family now realized one thing: under these circumstances, they probably had no chance of surviving unless they knelt and begged for mercy.

They immediately dropped to their knees, nodding repeatedly as they pleaded.

"Xiao Yan, this was a misunderstanding. Our Jia Lie Family is willing to apologize with the utmost sincerity."

"Young Master Xiao Yan, please be magnanimous and overlook our petty offenses. Leave us a path to survival. Ao offended you earlier, and I'll make him kneel and beg your forgiveness."

"And we will never dare come to the Xiao Clan to cause trouble again. Please spare us this once, Young Master Xiao Yan."

They all pleaded, their expressions imploring, groveling like chastened children.

Yet Xiao Yan merely sneered at them.

"Now you're scared? Isn't it a little late?"

His heart filled with terror, Jia Lie Bi hurriedly begged,

"It's not too late, not too late! Young Master Xiao Yan, as long as you leave us a way out, the Jia Lie Family can hand over all our cultivation methods and Dou Techniques for your use."

"You think I'd be interested in that pile of scrap your Jia Lie Family has?"

After that cutting retort, Jia Lie Bi was utterly terrified.

If he could not offer enough sincerity, Xiao Yan really might kill him.

He immediately changed his offer.

"How about this, Young Master Xiao Yan? As long as you spare us,"

"From now on, our Jia Lie Family is willing to become a subordinate clan to the Xiao Clan, serving at your beck and call forever, and we will never dare to step out of line or harbor any disloyal intentions."

"All we ask is that you spare my son and me."

He kept pleading, lowering himself to the utmost.

Jia Lie Ao also knelt on the ground, kowtowing over and over.

Without exception, every member of the Jia Lie Family knelt before Xiao Yan.

Yet Xiao Yan's expression remained utterly cold.

He merely cast a casual glance at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, then said coldly,

"Do it. What are you waiting for?"

Upon hearing the command, the Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately nodded.

"Yes, Master."

No sooner had the words fallen than the Amethyst Winged Lion King unleashed a powerful attack.

An immense surge of Dou Qi erupted.

Everyone from the Jia Lie Family screamed, without the slightest room or opportunity to resist.

They were slaughtered in a single second.

In that mere second, all those lives had been extinguished. Not one of them moved.

Corpses lay sprawled everywhere.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, everyone in the Xiao Clan froze.

One of the great families that competed with their Xiao Clan in Wutan City had actually been exterminated just like that? Good heavens, wasn't Xiao Yan far too terrifying? The elders and many of the younger members all sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Master, do you have any further orders?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King prostrated himself before the young lady and asked timidly.

"That's all. You may go."

Xiao Yan waved a hand as he spoke.

After the Amethyst Winged Lion King left and returned to the Magical Beast Mountain Range,

everyone in the Xiao Clan wore an expression of fear, overwhelmed with shock.

As Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan grew excited.

He had never imagined his son possessed such terrifying power that he could command the Amethyst Winged Lion King. It was truly beyond anything he had expected.
