Chapter 655: Chapter 194: Take a Breather [Two in One] _3 Chapter 655: Chapter 194: Take a Breather [Two in One] _3 At this thought, he couldn’t help but sigh.

“I initially thought that my elder brother’s demise was the end of his time as a martial prodigy, but little did I know that another prodigy met his end alongside him. If such a person were to grow and break through smoothly, it would be a major disaster, not only for the Nangong Family, but for the whole world… My brother held his own against such a formidable opponent, and for that, he can be proud.”

With these thoughts, his heart felt much calmer.

“Let’s proceed as he said and wait a while. As long as the divine doctor does not treat him, no matter how advanced his wisdom is, he cannot escape death. A rash attack would only result in unnecessary losses. Better to wait and see!”

…

The Ximen Family’s investigation of Heavenly Judgement was bound to yield nothing.

This was because the main conspirator was Feng Yin, who also dealt the first blow, severely injuring Ximen Huai Dao.

But the one who truly rendered Ximen Huai Dao motionless was Dong Xiaoyan, and the one who eventually took his life, decapitating him with a single stroke, was Zhuang Weiran.

In the end, the object that drew everyone’s attention from the Ximen family was Feng Ying, a white figure soaring into the sky.

Zhuang Weiran, who accomplished the ultimate assassination, was not a heavenly judge’s assassin, so of course, nothing suspicious could be found.

As for the underground tunnel collapse, it was, as Ximen Qianqiu had guessed, caused by the Rat King and his horde!

Moreover, there was more than one underground tunnel, which facilitated everyone’s evacuation, perfectly illustrating the wisdom of the saying, ‘A sly rabbit has three burrows.’

However, after the assassination was completed, the tunnels were no longer useful. As soon as Zhuang Weiran and his team evacuated, the nearby big trees and rats sealed all the entrances securely!

Even immortals would find it hard to imagine that someone could block several tunnels so quietly and quickly.

It was impossible to achieve this, even with the help of Spirit Beasts.

That night, Zhuang Weiran and his wife set up an altar, stacking rows of spirit tablets densely.

“Father, mother, brothers, sisters…”

The couple knelt on the ground and devoutly bowed their heads in prayer, “Today, we finally avenged one of our foes!”

“Today, the Ximen family has lost one. Ximen Huai Dao, the leader of the third group that pursued us back then, has been executed!”

“If you have spirits in heaven, you will see. The damn Ximen Huai Dao is already down… Don’t let him go after waiting for him for so long in another world!”

“Afterwards, we will send down the people of the Ximen family one by one to comfort your spirits in heaven!”

Ximen Huai Dao’s head was chopped into fine pieces by Zhuang Weiran with chaotic knife slashes, more meticulous than his usual mincing for dumpling stuffing!

“You rogue! Even you have fallen on hard times today!”

The bitterness and resentment was so intense it made Dong Xiaoyan shudder and made her hair stand on end.

It was her first time witnessing such terrifying hatred and bitterness in a person!

Such extreme resentment, full of bitterness, was almost materialized!

The surrounding air seemed to carry a slight scent of blood.

“How many of the Ximen Clan members do we need to kill to end this hatred and resentment?” asked Feng Yin softly.

“We never dared to expect to annihilate the Ximen Clan completely. That’s unrealistic, even with your full support, Feng,” said Zhuang Weiran with a sigh. “Ximen Huai De, Ximen Huai Rou, and Ximen Huai Dao… Once these three are dead, this matter will come to an end. Everyone else can be spared.”

A flash of unwillingness crossed his eyes.

But he knew if he insisted on killing all members of the Ximen family, Feng Yin would still support him. However, that would mean Feng Yin would face tremendous risks because of him.

He couldn’t be that selfish!

So, Zhuang Weiran would rather give up the most satisfying way of revenge, not wanting Feng Yin to get dragged into this huge quagmire!

“If it’s just these three, we can hope to accomplish it during this opportunity. As for the others, kill as many as you can!”

Feng Yin nodded.

“But Uncle Zhuang, you must promise me that dealing with the Ximen family, don’t rush. Be patient.”

“An unexpected stunt like this can only be used once. Expecting every attempt to be this smooth is unrealistic and delusional,” Feng Yin cautioned.

Hu Lengyue nodded, “Indeed, against a behemoth like Ximen Clan who has weathered countless storms and seen all kinds of tricks, such a raid, if successful once, has already reached its limit. Attempting to repeat it is akin to seeking one’s own death.”

She smiled and said, “Actually, having been successful this once is already a huge blessing in our lives, something we didn’t even dare to imagine! More than half of the suffocation in my heart has cleared. Even if I were to die now, I would have no regrets!”

Feng Yin laughed, for he understood Hu Lengyue’s feelings.

Dealing with an enemy like the Ximen family, the hatred and bitterness was the least of the problems.

The most tormenting part was: the enemy was right there, but you can’t lay a finger on them!

You know where they are, and there are so many of them, but you’re unable to kill even one of them through all these years!

That’s the crux of it, the most frustrating part.

Now that they’ve had this one victory, most of the depression in their hearts was instantly lifted. At least they were no longer as desperate for revenge as before, willing even to perish together with their foe just to let off steam.

This was why Feng Yin racked his brains, meticulously planned and executed this operation in such a short time.
