Swordholder

These four corpses are the remaining wolf guards.

There were fifteen of them when they arrived at the ancient tree village.

There are seven people who stayed in the village these past few days and did not go with Chen Yuan to Sansheng Mountain to break the formation.

"roar……"

Just then, a series of chilling wolf howls echoed through the village!

"Quick! Let's go in and take a look!"

Chen Yuan and the others' expressions changed drastically. Without thinking twice, they immediately rushed into the village.

Along the way, the strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air.

Blood was everywhere on the village roads, and corpses lay strewn across the land!

Horrible!

"Brother, sister...you...are back...quickly...go save...my parents..."

Li Dashan, who often practiced his cultivation at the village entrance, was cleaved in two with a single blow, his internal organs and intestines spilling all over the ground.

With his two thighs remaining in place, and his upper body supported by his two hands, he tried his best to crawl little by little into the village, leaving a long trail of blood.

At this moment, he saw Chen Yuan and the others appear and spoke in a weak and anxious voice.

But he died before he could finish speaking.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently in the direction of the village, filled with worry.

Chen Yuan and the others were filled with rage and grief!

"It's hopeless! Quick, get into the village!"

Zhu Xin's face was grim, and she spoke in a dark tone.

Chen Yuan remained silent, his face ashen, and continued running forward.

Soon, they saw the village chief and Granny Wang lying in pools of blood, both with a gaping hole in their foreheads, their eyes wide open in death.

Li Wei and the others stared wide-eyed, their eyes instantly becoming bloodshot.

Although Granny Wang spoke in a vulgar and crude manner, at least she meant them no harm and even gave them wives... For a moment, Granny Wang's voice, appearance, and smile kept appearing in their minds.

His enthusiastic expression gradually overlapped with the tragic corpse before them, causing everyone to feel momentarily disoriented and as if the scene before them was unreal.

The crowd was deeply shaken, creating a huge uproar.

"Damn it!"

Chen Yuan cursed angrily and continued flying forward with murderous intent.

Li Wei, Zhong Yue, and the others were so enraged that they looked like crazed wild beasts.

As they passed through the village roads and houses, corpses came into view.

They saw many familiar faces, all of whom were the simple villagers who had recently lived with them. Among them were a few of the remaining wolf guards. Judging from their deaths, they had also fought a battle before their deaths, but unfortunately, they were defeated and died.

Chen Yuan and the others were filled with rage as they ran forward, glancing at the corpses around them.

Li Taiyi's pupils contracted sharply!

He saw Niu Tiantian, who had always tried to please him and take care of him, already dismembered.

Although Niu Tiantian was not his woman, her meticulous care for him these days still made Li Taiyi feel a strong sense of separation.

In an instant, his emotions surged, and he felt the anger rising in his chest, almost about to explode!

The veins on the faces and necks of Zhong Yue, Wang Hu, and Gu Chen bulged.

Before leaving home in the morning, Zhang Aihua, He Ailian, and Li Yufang, who had greeted the three women with bright smiles, were suddenly split vertically in two, with the remaining half of their faces still showing signs of terror.

"asshole!"

Zhong Yue let out a low roar, his eyes blazing with fire.

Li Wei was furious and enraged!

Once upon a time, the villagers who surrounded him and listened to him tell his novels and boast his stories have now all turned into cold corpses.

The images of them listening attentively to him, laughing heartily, and clapping enthusiastically kept playing in his mind, causing him immense grief.

Nuomi's hair stood on end, and his eyes were bloodshot.

She saw many of her playmates lying haphazardly on the ground, their bodies mangled and bloody, some with their heads blown open, others with severed limbs.

"They're at Da Niu's house!"

Chen Yuan swept his powerful spiritual sense across the area, his eyes instantly turning icy cold, and his figure vanished from the spot in a blur.

Zhu Xin, Li Wei, and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they all followed suit.

A few breaths later, they arrived at Da Niu's house.

At this moment, Da Niu's house has been reduced to ruins.

Amidst the ruins, a large group of figures stood, coldly staring at Chen Yuan and his group who had suddenly appeared.

They seemed to have been waiting for a long time, their eyes filled with bloodlust, and a cruel smile on their lips.

Chen Yuan didn't look at them. His cold gaze swept across the ruins and he immediately saw that Da Niu's mouth was open, her eyes were wide open, her pupils were bulging, and she was filled with fear and resentment.

There was a large intestine around her neck, almost deforming her neck.

Clearly, her throat bones were completely shattered.

She was actually strangled to death with one of her intestines!

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints, and he felt as if he couldn't breathe.

Li Wei and the others stared intently at that slightly immature face, watching the girl who had trusted them and cooked for them on their first visit... and then she was strangled to death with her intestines.

And in Da Niu's arms... nestled within her embrace was the head of her youngest brother, the little boy named Si Tong.

The head was deformed, a bloody mess, and it was definitely dead.

In another corner, there was a head to the east, an arm to the west, a leg to the north, and a torso to the south... Internal organs were scattered everywhere, which were the remains of Erjin and Sanyin!

"!!!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan and the others were deeply shaken, and then their fierce gazes fell on the murderers.

Facing them were the Twelve War Wolf Riders, the Gao family experts brought by Gao Yue, and a large group of law enforcement guards brought by Luo Qingzhu!

The leader of the twelve war riders, Zhanlong, held a black birdcage in his hand.

Each bar of the birdcage was radiant with a red glow, reinforcing the cage's confining power.

Inside the birdcage, Xiaoxi looked as if she had shrunk to the size of a baby's arm, like a little bird imprisoned inside.

She was originally gripping the cage bars with both hands, constantly banging her forehead against them, making a thumping sound, until her forehead was covered in blood and flesh.

Upon seeing Chen Yuan and the others, it immediately stopped ramming against the cage bars and burst into tears.

"Master, I am guilty. I have let down the villagers and implicated them. Waaah, I deserve to die. Waaah..."

As she spoke, she cried loudly and violently pounded on the cage bars, as if she wanted to smash her head open!

"Bang, bang, bang..."

She frantically pounded on the birdcage, crying heartbrokenly, "Waaah, Master, it's all my fault! It was my aura that attracted them. They said I was some kind of Great Seal incarnation and wanted to take me back to some Western Frontier..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan and the others were deeply moved.

But given the current situation, they no longer cared about the imperial seal; all they wanted was to go on a killing spree to avenge the villagers.

"It was—you—who—did—this!!"

Chen Yuan suddenly looked at the twelve War Wolf Riders, as well as Luo Qingzhu, Gao Yue, and others, and roared angrily through gritted teeth, each word filled with deep hatred.

"Woohoo~~~"

The burly black wolves beneath the twelve war wolves let out low growls, their eyes bloodshot and fixed on Chen Chang'an and the others.

"Heh, so you guys are here after all!"

Gao Yue spoke, glaring at Chen Yuan with venomous resentment, "Did you kill my sister?!"

Chen Yuan stared at her coldly, not answering her question, but angrily saying, "These villagers have no grudge against you, why do you want to exterminate them all?!"

The people behind him were also filled with extreme anger, glaring at them through gritted teeth.

"Heh, Chen Yuan, your cultivation seems to have reached the Purple Mansion stage, yet you pity these mortals who have nothing to do with you? How naive and laughable."

The war tiger, riding a large black wolf, gleamed with disdain and said, "These mortals, possessing a treasure like the Three Lights Divine Tree, are already courting death."

What's more, they even stopped us from digging up the trees?

"Ha, then let's just kill them all and use their corpses as fertilizer for the Three Lights Divine Tree."

As soon as he said this, the killing intent emanating from Chen Yuan and the others intensified, making the scene feel like the dead of winter!

Luo Qingzhu held a glass bottle in her hand, inside which was a Three Lights Tree that had shrunk to only half a foot in size.

At this moment, the Three Lights Tree was dim and lifeless, as if its power of light and shadow had been suppressed by dense black energy.

"Just slaughter a village."

Luo Qingzhu spoke calmly, putting away the glass bottle. Then, glancing sideways at Chen Yuan, she said, "Since you're so angry, why not send you to hell to join those lowly villagers?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards behind him approached with cold smiles.
