CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 103: A HUNDRED YEARS OF HATRED AVENGED IN A SINGLE MORNING_2

Wang Shouzhe saw him in this state and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh: "Huangfu Jinhuan, our Wang Family did not offend the Huangfu Family back then, yet because of a mere whim from your Huangfu Family, we were nearly exterminated. Have you ever thought that those were living, breathing lives?"

"Moreover, the Huangfu Family colluded with the Yin Sha Sect externally and bullied the weak internally. Others may not know, but you, Huangfu Jinhuan, should know. The downfall of your Huangfu Family today is solely because your ancestors neglected virtue."

"Haven’t you heard, ’Heaven sees what people do’. Today, I, Wang Shouzhe, will seek justice for the lost souls of the Ping’an Wang Family and make the Huangfu Family taste how my Ping’an Wang Family felt back then! Noble families have their own unwritten rules. Even if this matter is brought before His Majesty the Emperor, my Ping’an Wang Family can sit straight and stand tall!"

As his words fell, Wang Shouzhe’s attacks grew even fiercer.

He had planned for so many years; today was the time to resolve decades of grudges, leaving no room for mercy or hesitation.

Otherwise, he could very likely plant a huge hidden threat for the family’s future and bring disaster to his descendants.

Under Wang Shouzhe’s vigorous offensive, another elder only held on for twenty breaths before his entire blood was devoured by the Bloodthirsty Vine, turning into a desiccated corpse.

Such a strange and formidable method left the Huangfu Family’s side in alarm and fear, while Xiao Yuanwu and Zhong Xiangyang exchanged glances in disbelief.

Earlier, they thought the greatest strength of the Wang Family lay with Ancestor Longyan or Mrs. Wang Liuo Ruolan, but unexpectedly, the deepest hidden and most surprising was Wang Shouzhe, who was reputed to be a coward.

To be sure, Wang Shouzhe was an excellent clan leader, who had quickly developed the family to this level, indeed an extraordinary talent.

But it wasn’t until he took action that they realized this money-making clan leader was truly the hidden ace of the Wang Family — not making a move was okay, but when he did, it was astonishingly impactful.

Moreover, once he decided to act, he showed a decisively ruthless demeanor with a cut-the-weeds-and-dig-up-the-roots reckoning.

"The Huangfu Family is doomed," sighed Hundred Islands Zhong Xiangyang, "With Shouzhe’s methods, the Huangfu Family may never have a chance for recovery."

An Yuan Xiao Yuanwu also looked at Wang Shouzhe with fear and apprehension in his eyes.

He suddenly thought: as long as Wang Shouzhe is present, our An Yuan Xiao Family can only maintain friendliness with the Ping’an Wang Family and absolutely cannot become enemies.

The Huangfu Family, being an in-law to the Xiao Family, had been helped by the An Yuan Xiao Family quite a bit over the years, fulfilling their intended duty. As Wang Shouzhe said, all consequences were the Changning Huangfu Family’s own doing.

With the extermination of the two Spirit Platform Realm elders by Wang Shouzhe, the battle that followed was devoid of suspense.

Even if the opponents wished to escape, it was difficult to flee from Wang Shouzhe’s arranged Vine Array.

Soon, apart from Huangfu Jinhuan, the other two Spirit Platform Realm household generals were also eliminated by Wang Shouzhe one by one.

Despite their bitter pleas, and even willing to betray the Huangfu Family from then on and expose some of the Huangfu Family’s scandals, Wang Shouzhe still mercilessly sent them on their way.

At such a crucial moment, what use were household generals who resorted to selling out their masters for profit?

He preferred to cultivate the Wang Family’s household generals slowly himself. After all, with the Wang Family becoming increasingly prosperous, he certainly wasn’t lacking resources to train household generals.

As for Huangfu Jinhuan, Wang Shouzhe did not take his life for now but ordered Wang Shouwei to break his limbs and tied him up into a bundle with the Blood Witch Vine.

"Wang Shouzhe, your Wang Family has won, please just kill me," Huangfu Jinhuan weakly pleaded.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuanwu couldn’t help but plead as well: "Shouzhe, although the Huangfu Family has many wrongs and has today’s retribution to blame no one else but themselves, Huangfu Jinhuan is still the master of a noble family. Could you give him a swift death for my sake?"

Wang Shouzhe pondered briefly and then smiled, "I have secretly investigated. While the Xiao Family and the Huangfu Family are in-laws, the Xiao Family has a good reputation and was not involved in collusion with the Yin Sha Sect, so for Ancestor Yuanwu’s sake, I’ll grant your request."

After saying that, he ordered Wang Shouwei to break Huangfu Jinhuan’s neck instead of letting the Bloodthirsty Vine drain him, leaving his body intact out of respect as a fellow family master.

"Thank you, Shouzhe," Ancestor Yuanwu gratefully said, "If you ever need my assistance, rest assured, I will not refuse."

These words were sincere. It was evident from how Wang Shouzhe showed him face, the Wang Family truly did not wish to become enemies with the An Yuan Xiao Family.

As the battle on Wang Shouzhe’s side ended, Ancestor Longyan and others on the field with Huangfu Huaye soon reached a conclusion as well.

Even as capable as Huangfu Huaye was, he couldn’t withstand the joint attack of three people, not to mention with the Huangfu Family members falling one by one, Huangfu Huaye was already in disarray.

After risking it all with his final strike using the Red Fire Dragon Scale, he had no further chance to recover, repeatedly sustaining serious injuries, and ultimately had his head severed by Ancestor Longyan’s sword.

Huangfu Huaye’s head traced an arc through the air before rolling to the ground. His red hair scattered messily, mingling with the blood on the ground, indistinguishable from each other.

Watching this scene, Ancestor Longyan stood stunned for a moment, before silent tears slid from her eyes.

The crystal-clear tears against her bloodshot eyes made her lose her usual detached and indifferent demeanor, instead looking as vulnerable as an ordinary daughter.

No matter how strong, everyone has their own weakness.

Even though Ancestor Longyan appeared invincible usually, she was, after all, just a person, a living, breathing person.

Not crying merely means the time for sorrow hasn’t arrived.

Wang Shouzhe sighed and stepped forward to support Ancestor Longyan, gently comforting her, "Ancestor, the grudges of Ancestor Zhou Xuan, Ancestor Qiong Yuan, and our forebears have finally been avenged; it’s something to be happy about. From now on, our Ping’an Wang Family can peacefully develop and live our lives well."

Truth be told, with today’s great revenge fulfilled, a weight was lifted off Wang Shouzhe’s heart.

Ever since transmigrating, he had been living with pressure, having to plan every step. Being lenient with the enemy was merely a helpless resort.

Given the choice, who wouldn’t want their family to be prosperous and live in peace every day?

Not to mention, although he never saw Ancestor Zhou Xuan himself, he saw the former decline and hardship of the family firsthand, and therefore hated the Huangfu Family that caused it just as much.

"Indeed," Beichen Ancestor also advised, "The main culprit is gone, and the remaining Huangfu Family remnants are no longer a concern. From now on, all families in the Changning Guard can stop living in fear."

After this battle, Beichen Ancestor was naturally very pleased.

The complete downfall of the Huangfu Family benefitted the Ping’an Wang Family the most. Besides them, the most benefited was the Changning Xu Family.

...

"Wang Shouzhe, are you done over there?"

Just when Wang Shouzhe and others completed their task, a roar came from afar by Faang You’an: "This guy is too fierce, Junior Sister Lvwei and I can barely hold on!"

Their battlefield had long moved outside of the massive Blood Nest’s interior, breaking through the dome to the outside.

Naturally, Wang Shouzhe and others quickly composed themselves and all hurried over.

As they fought, they had reached the edge of the Blood Nest Base’s floating island. The place was full of pits and scars from the fierce battle.

Subsequently.

Wang Shouzhe saw Faang You’an’s miserable state, causing the corner of his mouth to twitch slightly.

The dignified Senior Brother Yoou’an, how could he be beaten so miserably?

He had flown out earlier with such impressive heroism, and yet the contrast was so drastic now?
