In the Aotian Courtyard, everyone stared blankly at the lifeless body lying on the ground, devoid of any breath.
Dead?
The one who had previously commanded respect in Aojia and held a noble status in the Azure Cloud Sect, Aoling, was killed by Aotian with a single strike?
If it weren't for Aoling's body lying right in front of them, no one would dare to believe this was true!
After all, Aoling was like an untouchable proud fairy to them. Now that this proud fairy had been killed by Aotian, it was only natural for them to find it hard to believe.
The courtyard was silent, with the occasional sound of wind blowing that seemed so loud. Time passed in silence, and after a long while, everyone gradually came back to their senses.
Suddenly, a deafening uproar erupted in the Aotian Courtyard, and Aotian's reputation soared to the peak of Aojia.
As they looked towards Ao Gong, the Second Master of Aojia, complex emotions flickered in their eyes.
They understood that today's battle and Aoling's fall undoubtedly indicated that Aotian and his son had established an unshakeable position in Aojia. Meanwhile, Ao Gong's faction would likely face complete downfall.
"Aoling, that venomous woman, deserves this fate!"
"Exactly! Did she think she was superior just because she had the Azure Cloud Sect backing her? In the end, she was still trampled underfoot by Young Master Aotian and lost her life!"
"Master, I suggest that Ao Gong be punished for his insubordination; he should be executed immediately to maintain your authority!"
"Yes, Young Master Aotian! People like Ao Gong must not be spared! Otherwise, he will surely become a future threat!"
"That's right! Not only Ao Gong but also Ao Yu and Aofeng should be executed without mercy; none can be let go..."
Seeing Aoling dead, many members of Aojia quickly turned their accusations towards Ao Gong.
Ao Gong seemed oblivious to the voices around him; he merely stared blankly at Aoling's corpse, his eyes tinged with faint traces of bloodshot.
Although Aoling's previous attitude towards him and his children, Aofeng and Ao Yu, had left him very dissatisfied, she was still his daughter. Now witnessing her death surely brought immense sorrow and pain to Ao Gong's heart.
When Aofeng saw this scene, he was immediately frightened and fainted.
Looking at the fear of the Aojia members around him, along with their mockery and disdain for Ao Gong, Aotian couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart:
The world is truly cold. Previously, when he saw his father in a disadvantageous position, these people were indifferent, and some even mocked him directly. But now that the situation has changed, they immediately turned their backs and kicked him while he was down. In this world, it is indeed easier to add flowers to brocade than to send charcoal in the snow.
"Aotian, you killed Aoling. The Azure Cloud Sect will not let you go; you should prepare for the endless pursuit from the Azure Cloud Sect!"
Suddenly, a voice filled with coldness rang out.
Aotian frowned and looked towards the source of the voice, and there was Liu Yue's resentful expression coming into his view.
Previously, Liu Yue had been severely injured by Aotian's strike. Although she wanted to save Aoling, she was powerless to do so.
As for the other elites brought by Aoling from the Azure Cloud Sect, most of them were Innate Realm warriors who could not play a significant role in this battle.
As soon as those people intervened, they were directly taken down by Niu Geng and Sun Jing, so they could not successfully stop Aotian.
Now that Aoling was dead, the members from the Azure Cloud Sect were all terrified. They knew very well how much the Grand Elder Chen Buren favored this disciple, and now that Aoling was dead, everyone present would likely be held accountable.
As for the culprit Aotian, he would probably bear most of Chen Buren's wrath.
In the eyes of the Azure Cloud Sect members, Aotian had already become a dead man.
However, Aotian remained calm; he did not take Liu Yue's words to heart at all. After all, he had already killed many high-ranking figures from the Azure Cloud Sect; killing a few more was no big deal.
Aotian's calm expression appeared confident to everyone. Previously, Niu Geng had said that Xuantian Academy valued Aotian greatly, and now Aotian showed no fear of the Grand Elder of Azure Cloud Sect. This was enough to make everyone speculate wildly.
Xuantian Academy was truly Aotian's backing!
In everyone's minds, it seemed they had already accepted this notion. If Xuantian Academy were not Aotian's support, how could he remain so calm after killing important figures from Azure Cloud Sect?
Thinking about how Xuantian Academy stood behind Aotian, the members of Aojia naturally did not worry too much about what crisis might arise from killing Aoling.
After all, no matter how strong the Azure Cloud Sect is, they are bound to be weaker when facing the Xuantian Academy.
Liu Yue saw Aotian's calm expression and was instantly filled with rage, her resentment deepening.
Aotian's various displays were nothing short of a slap in the face to the Azure Cloud Sect, a slap to her own face! In a fit of anger, Liu Yue lost her rationality and screamed:
“Aotian, you damn bastard! How dare you be so arrogant? Just wait, the Azure Cloud Sect will not let this go. I, Liu Yue, will definitely avenge my junior sister!”
“Hm?”
Aotian's piercing gaze cut through the air like lightning, locking directly onto Liu Yue's eyes.
In that moment, Liu Yue couldn't help but shudder, fear flooding her eyes.
At this moment, Liu Yue was filled with regret; wasn't she just pushing Aotian to kill her with those words? Damn it, had she just eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall?
Little did Liu Yue know that from the very beginning, Aotian had no intention of letting her go.
If it weren't for Liu Yue helping Aoling, Aotian would have had no defensive power against Aoling. Therefore, from a certain perspective, Liu Yue's guilt was no less than Aoling's.
Thus, from the start, Aotian had already sentenced Liu Yue and her companions to death.
“Niu Geng, Sun Jing, send the Azure Cloud Sect members on their way so they won't keep buzzing in our ears!” Aotian said calmly, showing no regard for Liu Yue and the others.
This was only natural; both Niu Geng and Sun Jing were at the Human Spirit Realm level. Dealing with the severely injured Liu Yue was not too difficult for them.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yue screamed:
“Aotian, do you dare to kill me?!”
Aotian let out a cold laugh without responding. However, Niu Geng and Sun Jing demonstrated Aotian's stance through their actions.
Niu Geng charged into the group like a tiger among sheep, swiftly slaughtering the Azure Cloud Sect disciples. Meanwhile, due to Aotian's heavy injury inflicted on her, Liu Yue was also steadily retreating under Sun Jing's assault.
In the end, Liu Yue completely fell under the joint attack of Sun Jing and Niu Geng. However, at the moment of his downfall, Liu Yue's eyes remained wide open, filled with deep fear and disbelief.
Everyone looked at the dozens of corpses in the courtyard, shivering with cold dread. Damn it, these were all important figures from the Azure Cloud Sect, each possessing the power to dominate in Ning City.
Yet now, they had all fallen due to a single word from Aotian, which deepened everyone's fear of him even further.
After dealing with the members of the Azure Cloud Sect, Aotian's gaze fixed on Ao Gong, his coldness unmasked.
Seeing Aotian's actions, everyone was taken aback. Was this Young Master Aojia about to take action against the Aojia Second Master?
When Ao Gong felt Aotian's gaze on him, a wave of despair surged within him. As he glanced at the unconscious Ao Feng and Ao Yu lying on the ground, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, Ao Gong knelt directly before Aotian and said with a heavy heart:
"Aotian, it’s all my fault! I should not have been greedy and sought the position of family head. I understand that my sins are unforgivable; I am willing to accept any punishment as long as you spare my two sons!"
Aotian was slightly taken aback, and a trace of barely noticeable appreciation flickered in his eyes.
It is said that even a tiger does not eat its cubs. Although Ao Gong's ambition led him down a wrong path, his genuine love for his sons was indeed touching.
Ao Gong was willing to abandon his pride and risk his life just to save his two sons. This sentiment somewhat moved Aotian's heart.
However, from a certain perspective, Ao Gong and his sons were entirely Aotian's enemies. Despite their bloodline connection, Aotian never showed mercy to his foes.
Thus, Ao Gong's words did not completely dispel Aotian's killing intent; Aotian's expression remained cold.
After all, if he hadn't arrived in time, his father would likely have already met his end. Therefore, in Aotian's mind, Ao Gong and his sons were absolutely unforgivable.
Aotian had always adhered to his own principles. Whether one called him cruel or heartless, anyone who crossed his bottom line would find it difficult to earn his forgiveness.
And without a doubt, Ao Gong and his children had crossed Aotian's bottom line.
Perhaps sensing Aotian's unwavering killing intent towards himself and Ao Feng and Ao Yu, Ao Gong felt an even heavier despair. Just as he prepared to fight desperately for a glimmer of hope for his sons, Aotian's voice suddenly rang out:
"Tian'er, let it go! Your second uncle was momentarily blinded by ambition; I believe he will correct his ways in the future. Please forgive him?"
Aotian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, seemingly surprised that his father would plead for Ao Gong. Meanwhile, a flash of excitement crossed Ao Gong's eyes as he nervously looked at Aotian.
Although Aotian was very reluctant to let Ao Gong and his son off the hook, he had to consider his father's feelings since his father had been brothers with Ao Gong for decades. It was impossible for them not to have any feelings for each other. While Ao Gong might be ruthless, Aotian's father could not be heartless. If something were to happen to Ao Gong and his son, his father would inevitably be saddened, right?
Thinking this over, Aotian sighed lightly:
"Fine, you may leave Aojia! But if I ever see you plotting against my father again, I will not spare you!"
Upon hearing this, Ao Gong's face immediately lit up with joy. After thanking Aotian, he left Aojia with Aofeng and Ao Yu.
Watching Ao Gong's retreating figure, Aotian hesitated as if he wanted to say something but ultimately just sighed deeply without speaking.
Those who do wrong must ultimately pay the price...
