Chapter 137: Don’t Blame Me for Being Ruthless

Su Lang's voice wasn't loud; it didn't even travel outside the room.

However, the frantic Zhu Xiyan immediately froze mid-step, like a robot that had its power cut.

The air in the room seemed to solidify, becoming so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.

"My enemy… is that someone you think you can touch?"

Su Lang's indifferent gaze fell upon Zhu Xiyan, causing him to shudder violently!

"Su… Lord Su Lang, I was wrong!"

"I beg of you, please be magnanimous and spare me just one more time!"

Trembling, Zhu Xiyan knelt on the ground again and kowtowed.

"I already gave you a chance."

"But you lot still seem tired of living!"

"In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Looking down at Qin Hu and the other two, a hint of coldness appeared on Su Lang's face.

"No! Lord Su Lang! Don't kill me!"

"It was all Tian Xiu's idea! He was the one behind everything!"

Zhu Xiyan's head hit the floor with a loud 'thud', shattering the floor tiles.

"Lord Su Lang, we were truly bewitched!"

Qin Hu trembled with fear. "I'm willing to become your slave! I'm still useful! Please, give me another chance to redeem myself!"

"Lord Su Lang, I… this is my first offense…"

Tian Xiu was also terrified, his hair standing on end. "Please, in your great mercy, just let me go like a passing breeze!"

"Heh, you dare to plot against me and still expect to live? Impossible!!"

"Besides, simply killing you wouldn't be enough to quench my hatred!"

A cold and cruel smile curled on Su Lang's lips. "You all should prepare yourselves for the extinction of your lineages!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room seemed to be shrouded in a thick, bloody aura.

"No! Please, no!"

"I beg you, Lord Su Lang! Please spare my Zhu Family!"

"I truly know I was wrong! I'm willing to give up everything, I'll do anything! I can die right now!"

Zhu Xiyan kowtowed like a madman, babbling incoherent pleas for mercy.

"Lord Su Lang, I am willing to accept my execution!"

"Death by a thousand cuts, skinning, slicing my flesh and scraping my bones—you can kill me however you like!"

Qin Hu's mind also collapsed in an instant. "I only ask that you spare the members of my Qin Family! They are innocent!"

"Lord Su Lang, please spare my life!"

Tian Xiu was also covered in tears and snot, pleading miserably. "I can be your dog! I'll perform Alchemy for you for the rest of my life! Please spare the members of my Tian Family!"

The three of them prostrated themselves, kowtowing incessantly. In the blink of an eye, the floor was covered in dents and craters.

"Humph, it's not impossible for me to give up the idea of pulling up the roots."

Su Lang looked down indifferently at the three men at his feet. "I want you to hand over everything!"

"Money, treasures, Cultivation Techniques, Pill Formulas, Ancient Records—I want it all!"

In truth, Su Lang had no intention of killing innocent people at all.

He wouldn't do anything that violated his principles or crossed his bottom line.

His talk about exterminating their lineages was merely to scare them, ensuring they would hand over everything without holding anything back.

"Yes… Lord, we will send people to handle it immediately!"

Qin Hu and the others were both despairing and relieved. Despairing because they couldn't escape death, but relieved that their Family could be preserved and their Legacy would not be severed.

"Start by writing out the Cultivation Techniques from memory!"

"I hope you won't try any more tricks."

Su Lang indifferently tossed out several notebooks. "Otherwise, I really will kill your entire families!"

"Yes… Yes!"

Qin Hu, Zhu Xiyan, and Tian Xiu hung their heads, trembling as they accepted their fate.

Immediately, they summoned their subordinates and began collecting all the wealth, Cultivation Techniques, and Ancient Records within their families.

At that moment…

"Brother Su Lang!"

Beside him, Ji Ruxue tugged on Su Lang's sleeve.

"What is it?"

The ice on Su Lang's face melted away, replaced by a smile.

"Does Brother Su Lang like collecting Cultivation Techniques very much?"

Ji Ruxue's face turned slightly red, her eyes shimmering. "I have some here as well. How about I give them to you, Brother Su Lang?"

"Haha, that would be wonderful, of course!"

Su Lang smiled brightly and couldn't help but reach out to rub Ji Ruxue's head. "What a good girl!!"
