Chapter 1135: Chapter 1129: Kill Them All
“Qiu Xunfa, your hands are filthy! You caused this disaster—so why did the entire clan pay the price?”
“I…”
Qiu Xunfa dared not respond.
Qiu Chuhui originally wanted to say something, but Qiu Anran had already shouted.
“Who are you crying for?” Qiu Anran shouted at Qiu Chuhui. “When the clan faced calamity, where were you?!!”
“And you, Qiu Xundao!”
Qiu Anran let out a scornful laugh.
“Qiu Xundao, oh Qiu Xundao… the family has fallen to this state entirely because of you!
You’ve spent your whole life cleaning up Qiu Xunfa’s messes—surely that must make you feel very accomplished.
The two of you brothers suffered hardships since childhood.
You pushed yourself to climb higher than Qiu Xunfa, just to prove that you were the better elder brother.
You’ve always used him as a warning to the entire clan—that even Qiu Xunfa cannot be provoked, let alone you.”
“Deep down, you despise him, yet you still choose to protect him.
Even now, for his sake, you dragged the entire family into becoming enemies of the Li Clan.
You weren’t afraid of his death, nor did you lack the means to compensate the Li Clan.
What you truly feared… was that once you lowered your head, you would never be able to raise it again within the clan.”
“That’s enough!” A cold glint flashed in Qiu Xundao’s eyes as his anger surged.
“Enough? Not even close!”
Qiu Anran roared,
“For your own selfish desires, you sought out your so-called allies to enumerate the Li Clan’s ‘ten deadly sins.’
In the end, it all came down to your lack of confidence in finding your Dao path in the Northern Border.
You claimed to understand the Li Clan completely—but that was nothing more than delusion! Could you have foreseen today? No. You couldn’t.”
“Anran!”
Qiu Anran’s Spiritual Power continued to gather, the force of ice and snow enveloping the towering ice pillars.
With each of his furious accusations, the expressions of the returning Qiu clansmen grew darker and more distorted.
They looked toward the four Clan Elders with suspicion and anger.
“And you, Qiu Naihe!”
“…”
Qiu Naihe’s brows furrowed deeply. Faced with the family’s current devastation, his heart was filled with boundless guilt.
He was even furious at Qiu Xundao, yet utterly powerless to change anything.
Just as he was about to think of a way to stabilize the situation, he never expected Qiu Anran’s accusation to turn toward him.
“As the most ancient figure in the family, why have you always indulged Qiu Xundao and Qiu Xunfa?”
Qiu Anran demanded fiercely,
“It was your cowardice and indulgence that slowly led our family to this very day.
You knew long ago what kind of person Qiu Xunfa was—yet you were just as greedy!
You couldn’t bring yourself to let go of Qiu Xundao’s power within the Asura Army.
Whatever Qiu Xundao said, you chose to believe.”
“You knew full well that by paying a certain price, we could have given the Li Clan an explanation.
That price wouldn’t even have required Qiu Xunfa’s life! But you… you couldn’t restrain your greed.”
Tears of blood streamed down without end.
“You wanted more—just as you couldn’t let go of Qiu Xundao’s power.
The moment he claimed that annihilating the Li Clan would bring immense benefits, your greed was laid bare.
It may have looked like Qiu Xundao was leading the charge—but in truth, you were the one guiding him from the shadows.
You disguised yourself as someone worldly and wise… but your heart is utterly ruthless!”
“But did you ever think about us…?”
Silence engulfed the iceberg.
Only Qiu Anran’s quiet sobbing remained.
“We were born in the Northern Border.
We cultivated in silence, braving blizzards and fighting the Demon Race generation after generation.
Every one of us was innocent—yet bound by blood, we stood on the same battlefield as you.”
“All we ever wanted was our home… to watch our descendants grow amidst the ice and snow, to return with prey from the frozen plains.”
“The Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain belongs to the Northern Border—not the Azure Cloud of the South.
Even if we went there… we would never become the Azure Cloud Qiu Clan.”
“You… why did you kill my clansmen? Why did you kill me?”
Those grief-stricken cries made the hearts of the four Clan Elders tremble.
If only they could start over…
“That’s not right!”
Qiu Naihe’s expression abruptly changed.
He stared at Qiu Anran in horror.
Sensing the hatred and resentment the surrounding clansmen now directed at them, he fixed a cold gaze on Qiu Anran.
“How could you possibly know all this? When you came out of seclusion, your only order was to protect the family!”
“What?” The other three Clan Elders’ expressions darkened.
“It’s you!”
Qiu Xundao’s eyes turned bloodshot as he looked toward the cloudy sky.
Within the range of his divine sense, spirit boats had already encircled the Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain from every direction.
The Li Clan’s Void Refining experts stood silently within the void.
His eyes nearly split apart with rage.
He even saw the figure shrouded in black mist, standing before eight demonic figures, a smug smile of triumph on his face.
“They had already taken control of Anran!
Their goal was to use him—after we experienced the rage of our clansmen’s deaths—to shatter our clan’s faith!
They want our people to lose the will to fight to the death!”
“Li Clan… you beasts!”
At this moment—
Above the clouds and mist—
Li Wei slowly raised his hand.
Behind him stood the Seven Ironclads and the Blood Demon Lord, who had returned from the Auric Empire, their demonic Qi surging violently.
Elsewhere stood Li Xinghuo, who had broken through to the Void Refining realm, alongside his wife Zishu Wandong; Fairy Hongxiu of the same realm, leading many clansmen from the Azure Cloud Prefecture.
There was also the Martial Emperor from the Imperial Capital; and…
Li Tianming, who had previously defeated Qiu Anran and, even in his crazed state, had followed Li Wei’s orders to manipulate Qiu Anran.
Now, he wore an aggrieved expression because his clansmen feared him.
Hearing Qiu Xundao’s furious roar, Li Wei’s expression turned cold.
Clearly, Qiu Xundao had already sensed something was wrong.
But it was far too late.
What stood before them now was the Li Clan’s ancestor—tempered by countless experiences, his cunning sharpened to terrifying levels—Li Wei.
As his raised hand fell in unison with the sky filled with Qiu Anran’s ice spikes, his voice rang out, cold and absolute.
“Kill them all.”
