Chapter 1757: The Shang Family is Destroyed

"I don't want to, I don't want to!"

The young girl's tender face was filled with terror at that moment.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Just wait until this old man kills you!"

Shang Zhihao reached out and grabbed the young girl.

But just as his hand extended halfway, he suddenly shivered all over, then looked down, only to see a large, bowl-sized hole in his chest.

His heart had vanished, yet not a drop of blood flowed out, appearing incredibly eerie.

"Ah!"

The young girl was terrified by the scene before her, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

A wisp of Shang Zhihao's Primordial Spirit rose from the top of his head, but before he could even clearly see what was happening behind him, a huge suction force pulled him in, and then he completely lost consciousness.

"Another one!"

Ye Bufan looked down at the Demon Refining Bottle; it already contained six Divine Essence Pills.

He had just used Shang Peng's identity to move freely within the mansion, silently killing the only six Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the Shang Family.

The rest was much simpler. Ye Bufan followed Zhai Lingxiu's instructions and systematically eliminated all the deeply sinful people in the Shang Family.

Buddhism states that killing evildoers is doing good deeds. He naturally had no mercy for these people, otherwise, in the end, it would only be himself and the ordinary common folk who would suffer.

And all of this proceeded silently; the ordinary guards of the Shang Family didn't even realize that dozens of people had already died in their home.

After completing all this, Ye Bufan went directly to the Shang Family's dungeon.

"Da Shao, you're here. Do you want me to pick out a pretty girl for you?"

Upon seeing him, the head of the dungeon guards immediately came forward, his face full of flattery.

The Shang Family dealt in human trafficking, and the dungeon was filled with all kinds of women. Shang Family core members often came to try something new.

"No need. Open the cell doors and release everyone."

"Ah?"

The head guard was startled and said with a look of astonishment, "Young Master, did I hear that wrong?"

To the Shang Family, everyone imprisoned here was money. How could they possibly be released?

"Stop talking nonsense! Do I need to say it a second time? Hurry up and open the doors and release everyone."

"This…"

The head guard hesitated. Although Shang Peng was the Young Master of the Shang Family, this matter was simply too significant.

He clearly understood what these 100 women meant. If they were just released like this, the Young Master might

be fine, but the Patriarch would skin him alive.

"Young Master, I should still report this matter to the Patriarch…"

Before the head guard could finish speaking, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and his head flew off directly.

Ye Bufan held the blood-stained blade and looked at the few people next to him.

"You truly rebelled, daring not to listen to my orders!"

"Young Master, please calm your anger! Please don't be angry. We'll go release them now."

The other guards dared not hesitate for a moment. They immediately ran to open the cell doors, releasing all 100 women inside."

As these women walked out, their faces were filled with confusion.

Normally, the Shang Family would sell them off, and that would be during the day. Why were they being called out at night?

Ye Bufan glanced at them: "From now on, you are free. Each of you will take 1000 gold coins and then leave this place. It's best to leave Tianlang City as soon as possible."

As he finished speaking, with a thought, a small mountain of gold coins appeared before the cell door.

These were all just obtained from the Shang Family members. If he hadn't been afraid that these women couldn't carry too much, he would have given each person even more.

Even so, with Tianlang City's purchasing power, 1000 gold coins would be enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for a lifetime.

But after he finished speaking, the women were completely stunned, simply unable to believe that what was happening before their eyes was real.

Some were sold to the Shang Family by their parents because their families couldn't make ends meet, while others were forcibly taken. Yet, no one had ever imagined that one day they would be allowed to leave.

And to even receive so much money—they wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.

Ye Bufan frowned: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up, take the money, and leave."

He had no time to waste here. He directly grabbed 1000 gold coins and stuffed them into the hand of a woman in front, "Take the money and scram quickly, don't wait for me to change my mind."

The woman confirmed that she wasn't dreaming, took the money, and ran out the door like the wind.

When the other women saw her safely leave with the money, with no one stopping her, they realized that everything was real.

Immediately, they followed suit, each grabbing their own 1000 gold coins, and one by one, they fled outside as if escaping.

Although the guards nearby all had strange expressions, having learned from the previous head guard's example, no one dared to say anything. They watched with wide eyes as these people took the money and fled the Shang Family.

"Alright, you all go back and rest. There's no need to watch here anymore. If the Patriarch asks tomorrow, just say I

ordered it."

After finishing this matter, Ye Bufan dismissed the guards and then leisurely walked out of the Shang Family.

When he returned to Taiping Medical Center, the Su Family father and daughter had not slept and were sitting in the main hall, waiting for his return.

Seeing him enter, Su Caiwei immediately stepped forward and asked, "Ye Dage, how was it? Are you alright?"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "What could happen to me? I'm perfectly fine."

Su Dingfang asked, "Young Brother Ye, how did the rest of the matters turn out?"

Ye Bufan said, "Don't worry, my Master has already handled everything."

Su Dingfang didn't ask further. In his opinion, it was very likely that the Grand Alchemist had suppressed the Shang Family, or that the two sides had negotiated peace. In any case, it was good as long as there was no more trouble in the future.

Afterward, Ye Bufan returned to his room. He consumed the six Divine Essence Pills from the Demon Refining Bottle.

After a period of Cultivation, his Mental Energy recovered some of its cultivation, reaching the Late Stage Golden Core.

The next morning, at the Shang Family.

The servants all felt that something was amiss. For some reason, their Masters had not gotten up, even though it was very late.

At first, no one paid attention, as it might have been due to drinking too much alcohol the previous night, causing them to wake up later.

But later, the servants gathered together and found that none of their Masters had gotten up, which was somewhat abnormal.

Finally, the butler, mustering his courage, entered the Patriarch Shang Zhiyuan's room, only to find it empty.

He then checked the bedrooms of the other core members one after another, and still, there was no one to be seen.

Now everyone was a bit unsettled. So many people disappearing at once was truly strange.

Especially the guards watching the dungeon; the people had already been released, but Shang Peng couldn't be found either, leaving them extremely anxious.

The most nervous was Huang Sanye. Originally, he had hoped that the Shang Family's Young Master would stand up for him and capture Ye Bufan to heal his injured leg.

But now, even the Young Master and his sister couldn't be found. Who else could he rely on?

Thus, panic quickly spread throughout the Shang Family. Finally, recalling Ye Bufan's earlier words about destroying the entire Shang Family, everyone came to a conclusion: the Shang Family had been annihilated, and everyone had died.

Near noon, no one knew who started it, but everyone began to scramble for the Shang Family's gold, silver, and valuables, then fled the place as if escaping.

In the end, even the leg-broken Huang Sanye ran away. The vast Shang Family was left without a single soul, completely deserted, like a haunted house.
