I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1866 - 1860: Death May Not Be a Bad Thing

"Everyone’s team-building activities are going well!" Zhang Menglong cleared his throat, his voice almost covering the entire Xuanyun City.

"Oh? The Clan Leader is here! Get lost, you swindler, I’ll deal with you later!"

"Hahaha, Clan Leader, you’ve finally arrived. Are we going to start directly? My big blade is already itching for action."

"Clan Leader, should we storm the Divine Profound Hall now? Let’s go avenge our fallen brothers right now!"

"I want them to pay in blood!"

...

Hearing Zhang Menglong’s voice, everyone set aside what they were doing and flew towards the direction of the voice. Astonishingly, nearly 6,000 people flew out of the densely packed city!

However, this also showed that more than 2,000 had already fallen victim to the Divine Profound Hall.

Zhang Menglong looked at the noticeably sparse crowd, his expression turning somber. He could almost call out everyone’s names, but many familiar faces had already disappeared.

Not long ago, everyone was still laughing and having fun together.

"Clan Leader!"

When everyone gathered around Zhang Menglong, although they were mentally prepared, the dramatic reduction in numbers dampened their spirits considerably.

"Clan Leader, we’ve lost 2,029 people."

"The Divine Profound Hall is despicable; they tricked us back, then set a trap for us. If some of us hadn’t missed the message or lived further away, there might be even fewer of us standing here now."

"Clan Leader, we must avenge this!"

"Hm," Zhang Menglong nodded, "We won’t tolerate any actions, but we will not conduct inhumane acts either. Each grievance has a source, and each debt has a debtor. What the Divine Profound Hall did, we will address with them!"

"We’re all with you!"

"First, let’s take control of this Xuanyun City," Zhang Menglong said. "If nothing unexpected happens, the Divine Profound Hall’s people will come to negotiate. As long as they hand over those who attacked, those who issued the orders, and those who made the plans, we can spare the rest."

"If they insist on covering up," Zhang Menglong’s tone was icy, "I won’t mind making the entire Divine Profound Hall disappear from this world. Didn’t Brother Lei Poguan set a very good precedent? What he didn’t achieve, we’ll accomplish on his behalf!"

"Who are you people? Why are you causing trouble in my Xuanyun City?"

At this moment, a voice sounded from the center of the city.

"Oh? You’ve come? Just who I was looking for," If nothing unexpected, this voice must be the City Lord of Xuanyun City, "It’s not causing trouble; we’re just here to seek justice."

The City Lord of Xuanyun City clearly didn’t know what had happened. After all, the affairs of Xuanyun City and the Divine Profound Hall were almost separate, and he wasn’t aware of any recent actions within the sect.

"Justice? I’d like to hear about it."

"Your Divine Profound Hall tricked away my group of brothers and ambushed them in their hometown. For these more than 2,000 lives, shouldn’t your Divine Profound Hall give Gu Xiao an explanation?"

"Gu Xiao? You are Gu Xiao?" Although he didn’t know the details, the City Lord of Xuanyun City had certainly heard of this name.

"What’s going on? What happened in the sect recently? Go find out now!"

Soon, someone reported the recent events to him. This matter wasn’t a secret, and nearly everyone in the Divine Profound Hall knew about it.

Upon understanding the situation, his expression suddenly turned to one of inevitability.

As an Elder of the Divine Profound Hall, he had experienced Lei Poguan’s incident back in the day. Upon hearing that these disciples from the Sunset Sect each reached the second level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art, he certainly sensed the potential threat these people posed.

"So, City Lord, have you figured it out?" Zhang Menglong said, "I know this has nothing to do with you, and I don’t want to cause you trouble. Go tell your superiors that we only want all those involved in this matter; we won’t pursue the rest!"

After a brief silence, the City Lord spoke again.

"Gu Xiao, it seems you’re here to demand people from my Divine Profound Hall?"

"There’s no need for pleasantries; our objective is crystal clear."

"Hahaha," the City Lord laughed, "I’ve lived over 40,000 years and have only ever heard of my Divine Profound Hall demanding people; never have I seen anyone demanding from us. You’ve walked right into our trap; I have to admire your courage."

"So, the City Lord is unwilling to pass our message?"

"Pass your message?" the City Lord chuckled. "I’ve already reported this matter back to the sect. Soon, someone will come to see you. You killed 50 of our Elders; you’re quite capable, but none of your helpers dared to come here now. I wonder upon what basis you demand people from me!"

"Ah!" Zhang Menglong shook his head. "It seems you just can’t change. The people of the Divine Profound Hall, from top to bottom, are all of the same ilk; there’s not one clean among them."

"Since that’s the case, I see no reason to be polite with you," Zhang Menglong turned and said, "those fallen brothers won’t have died in vain. Moreover, perhaps their deaths aren’t such a bad thing after all!"

Even the members of the Shamate Clan wore puzzled expressions. What does he mean? How could their deaths not be such a bad thing?

"You all, help me capture 2,029 people; all must be Divine Cultivation Realm or higher, and only from the Divine Profound Hall!"

"Alright!"

Although they didn’t know what Zhang Menglong intended, they dispersed in a buzz. When causing trouble earlier, some of them had already captured quite a few henchmen of the Divine Profound Hall.

Within a few minutes, these 2,029 people were brought before Zhang Menglong.

"What, you don’t plan to save these people?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"A group of Divine Cultivation Realm disciples, if they’re killed, so be it. It’s no big deal for my Divine Profound Hall to train more people,"

Although the City Lord was a Dao Realm power, he seemed engaged in something important at the moment. So even when Zhang Menglong apprehended people from the Divine Profound Hall right in his face, he didn’t intervene.

As for the other people from the Divine Profound Hall in this city, they truly lacked the ability to stop members of the Shamate Clan.

2,029 people were lined up and thrown to the ground, and the people of the Shamate Clan took several steps back, "What’s happening? What does the Clan Leader intend to do?"

"Kill them as a warning? Isn’t that too easy for them? Several of our brothers died terribly!"

"Did you bring the ashes I instructed?" Zhang Menglong asked, "Whatever part of the body, as long as there’s a bit, it’ll do."

"Brought them!" A group of people immediately stepped forward; this was something Zhang Menglong had asked them to do.

"Scatter them on these people, one person’s ashes on one person, don’t discriminate between male and female."

Everyone, full of doubt, followed Zhang Menglong’s instructions and quickly completed this step.

"Clear out!" Zhang Menglong looked at the group, and a circular formation appeared at his feet.

He formed a seal with his hands, and a massive amount of energy flowed from his body into the earth.

"Impure World Reincarnation!"
