Chapter 938 - 938 416 Annihilation of a Clan 2-in-1_2

Chapter 938: Chapter 416: Annihilation of a Clan! [2-in-1]_2 Chapter 938: Chapter 416: Annihilation of a Clan! [2-in-1]_2 Under the glow of the fire, everyone’s face turned a bright red, whether from the reflection of the flames or the surge of emotion.

They watched the Xu Family’s home burn in silence, the light in their eyes flickering—this sight was even more splendid and magnificent than fireworks on New Year’s Eve.

At that moment, everyone felt a tingling on their scalps.

Many were in tears, kneeling and bowing their heads, murmuring words of prayer.

Clearly, they were giving thanks, expressing gratitude.

Oh Heavens, which deity has come to vent this wrath for us?

Others were offering sacrifices, honoring the relatives and old friends who died because of the Xu Family.

Who would have thought, who would have thought—revenge for a blood feud deemed hopeless was now achieved!

Vengeance had been served!

“Not a single soul from the Xu Family escaped alive! Men, women, the elderly, children, including the house guards and martial artists…not even the chickens and dogs were spared; all lives were extinguished.”

An official-looking man sighed with a heavy heart, “Although the Xu Family’s reputation was somewhat unsavory, such actions are perhaps too excessively cruel.”

No sooner had these words left his mouth than he felt an odd shift in the atmosphere around him.

Turning his head, he saw many people looking at him with strange expressions.

Many gazes were filled with undisguised disgust, as if they were looking at the proverbial corrupt official!

“My lord, for a family as utterly devoid of conscience as the Xu Family, is there truly anything worth lamenting?”

“The Xu Family deserved death, even total annihilation will not quench our hatred!”

“Well executed! Well died!”

“Retribution came too late!”

“If the hero who annihilated the Xu Family is caught, I would bankrupt myself, use all I have, just to pull a few strings for him!”

“Me too!”

“To erect a longevity tablet for the benefactor!”

“The benefactor is worthy!”

“Damn official! What nonsense are you spouting? Whoever speaks for those beasts, what kind of good official can that be?”

“…”

The official never expected that a mere sentence would provoke such public outrage.

There’s a saying that when everyone points fingers at you, no illness is needed to meet your end.

Once public sentiment boiled over, what hope would he have left for his official reputation—his life’s prospects would be bleak!

Looking around at the eyes of the people around him, nearly ready to come and tear him apart, he felt a chill run through his body and hurriedly said, “This official misspoke.”

The crowd was still not appeased.

“No one is to report this to the authorities!”

“Anyway, we didn’t see anything!”

“…”

The official’s face turned bitter.

I am the bloody official.

Even I am right here, in charge of overseeing this very area—how could I possibly ignore it?

What are you all trying to start?

Do you mean to kill?

…

As the fierce blaze surged into the sky.

Dong Xiaoyan was rushing over here.

Ironically, she had also intended to complete this mission.

After successively killing several King Rank targets and replenishing her energy, she casually browsed the Heavenly Judgment and discovered the major target, Xu Chengyun, sparking excitement.

Eagerly, she made her way over.

To see if she could reap the rewards with ease.

After all, Xu Chengyun was only at the Heavenly Level seventh rank; with her vastly improved strength, she was more than capable of securing the victory.

Little did she expect that before she arrived, the raging fire had already erupted.

Then, in her eyes, the vengeful energy from The Other Side was dissipating rapidly.

It was the accumulated resentment from Xu Chengyun’s years of evil deeds, slowly fading away, soon to return to nothingness.

Dong Xiaoyan ceased her flight, landing atop a high building, staring blankly at the dissipating grudge.

The once intensely dense resentment was indeed slowly scattering, gradually vanishing.

Dong Xiaoyan’s perceptive eyes faintly made out the virtual faces within the resentment, turning from venomous and hateful to serene, with the calmness of vengeance satisfied,

Rising fluidly, slowly fading in the air to become fleeting clouds.

Satisfaction.

Desires fulfilled!

The vicious criminal had finally died, receiving the most miserable retribution!

The entire family wiped out, such revenge could not be further consummated!

At the same time the Xu Family’s mansion continued to sear with flames, several officials from the Great Qin Ministry of Rites were killed in succession, and many of the Xu Family’s shops within the city also caught fire one after another.

It was obvious, the killer was enforcing a principle: Guilt by association, to execute thorough and complete extermination!

Dong Xiaoyan let out a soft sigh, nibbling on her red lips, pulling out the Heavenly Judgment to check.

“I really need to see who snatched my business; this is such immense joy, to have missed out.”

The moment she accessed it, she saw the prime culprit.

“Damn, it’s actually Gentle!”

Dong Xiaoyan’s eyes widened, then her gaze turned into a curved crescent moon, full of mirth.

“So it was you, lad. Coming so late, yet the moment you arrive, you steal the… this young lady’s target… when I see you, I’m definitely going to give you a good beating, making sure you’re all puffed up for the Mid-Autumn Festival! That’s the punishment… hmph, well done!”

“Those scoundrels have caused trouble in Xianyang for so many years, and nobody has dealt with them, hmm! It’s only my man who’s got the guts, cleaning up the moment he arrives, satisfying and assertive indeed!”

Dong Xiaoyan was momentarily filled with vicarious pride, feeling prouder than if she had acted herself.

She had already considered Physician Feng to be ‘my man’.

“Only I and my man dare to undertake such grand affairs; who else has the courage?!”

Miss Dong grew more and more proud, with a sense of unrivaled confidence.

In all the world, only my lord and Xiaoyan can!

…

However, at this very moment, the hero in Dong Xiaoyan’s heart had blood in his eyes.
