While everyone was filled with fear, they simply couldn't believe that Ye Xunhuan would actually say he would level Xumi Mountain!

To know that Dragon Ancestor Bodhi was a disciple of Garan Yu, yet now Ye Xunhuan was directly interrogating Garan Yu.

Yes, it was an interrogation, and he did it with a high posture, scrutinizing Garan Yu with the demeanor of a king descending!

Garan Yu, feeling the murderous intent emanating from Ye Xunhuan, seeing his icy expression, and eyes like a black hole, immediately felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and it seemed as if the surrounding atmosphere darkened.

He could sense that Ye Xunhuan was truly angry, truly ready to kill.

Moreover, the current Ye Xunhuan was much more formidable than before.

If the previous Ye Xunhuan were to be at odds with Xumi Mountain, the entire Xumi Mountain might still have a slim chance in a desperate battle, but now, Garan Yu felt that even if all of Xumi Mountain mobilized, they might not dare stop Ye Xunhuan's killing spree!

He was now too powerful, like a towering mountain, only to be gazed up at.

"S-Sir!" Garan Yu's voice was filled with an unmistakable tremor, "None of this has anything to do with me. Initially, I didn't agree with this marriage, but the elders forced me to compromise, and I was powerless against them..."

Upon hearing these words, Ye Xunhuan's cold and murderous face instantly took on a ruthless look: "Then send them straight to hell!"

"Go, find all the elders of Xumi Mountain for me and send them to hell!" Ye Xunhuan coldly commanded, "Anyone who resists, annihilate them!"

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan completely displayed his domineering side as the overlord of the underworld.

And this side was ruthless and merciless!

However, relatively speaking, Ye Xunhuan can't be considered merciless. If he were truly merciless, he wouldn't just kill the elders but also their families.

After all, if weeds aren't cleared entirely, they'll grow back with the spring wind!

"Yes, my king!"

As soon as Ye Xunhuan finished speaking, the people he brought responded with a voice that echoed through the sky!

The next moment, these people moved like phantoms, swiftly weaving through the crowd.

"I'm not from Xumi Mountain..."

"I'm not..."

In an instant, countless guests, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire, retreated hastily into a corner, watching the scene before them with horror.

The people Ye Xunhuan brought might not be able to kill all the elders of Xumi Mountain, but Ye Xunhuan certainly could.

And Ye Xunhuan stood right there, how could he not make a move!

The only reason he wasn't intervening yet was probably that the current situation didn't require it, and if it did, the blade in Ye Xunhuan's hand would certainly cut through life like a reaper's scythe!

At this moment, many hearts were filled with anxiety and unease.

They were there to attend a wedding banquet; who could have imagined encountering such a situation? The most important thing was whether Ye Xunhuan would eventually turn against them.

If Ye Xunhuan targeted them, how could they possibly withstand him!

Garan Yu was completely stunned, dumbstruck, as he watched Ye Xunhuan, unable to believe he would give such an order.

"Sir..."

"Garan Yu, I don't believe they didn't know about my relationship with Dragon Ancestor Bodhi," Ye Xunhuan seemed to know what Garan Yu was about to say and interrupted directly, "Yet they still dare to do this, I think they are challenging the authority of the overlord!"

"In the underworld, anyone who challenges my authority dies!"

Due to the situation with Mei Hanqing, Ye Xunhuan had long been frustrated with nowhere to vent. Now, the elder council of Xumi Mountain provided just the outlet, killing them as a show of force to demonstrate to everyone the consequences of challenging him!

Upon hearing this, Garan Yu was utterly at a loss for words.

With Ye Xunhuan's current cold demeanor, Garan Yu even suspected if he dared utter another word, Ye Xunhuan might very well aim his sharp sword at him!

The next moment, as if Ye Xunhuan sensed something, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and his figure flickered.

"Swoosh!"

It felt as if Ye Xunhuan had employed Huaxia's most ancient martial arts, appearing in front of an old man in the blink of an eye, the sword in his hand transforming into a silver-white light, piercing through the old man's throat with blood immediately oozing out!

Subsequently, the sharp longsword was rapidly withdrawn by Ye Xunhuan.

Upon witnessing this, everyone involuntarily shivered, their faces filled with intense terror.

Killing seemed as effortless and casual to Ye Xunhuan as slicing through a melon, with no difficulty at all.

"Marshal, we were wrong, spare us, spare us..."

In no time, many began pleading for mercy.

But Ye Xunhuan remained completely unmoved, and instead moved like the Grim Reaper throughout the crowd.

Each time Ye Xunhuan flickered forth, it almost signified a fresh life bidding farewell to this world.

Ye Xunhuan had no clue if he killed the wrong person, but as long as someone belonged to a targeted group, Ye Xunhuan would always grant them a final sword thrust, sending them on their way!

Ye Xunhuan's sword was swift, unpredictable, and extremely tricky, making it impossible to guard against.

In an instant, the entire Xumi Mountain was enveloped in a strong scent of blood, with corpses glaringly conspicuous under the sun.

Garan Yu, looking at the bodies on the ground, was filled with an expression of anguish and helplessness.

Although the elders were very stubborn, it couldn't be denied that they were indeed the masters of Xumi Mountain, and now, with Ye Xunhuan having slain them all, it was undoubtedly a significant blow to Xumi Mountain as a whole.

It would also cause Xumi Mountain's overall strength to plummet.

After an unknown period, the slaughter finally ceased. But the thick smell of blood was so overpowering that people felt as if they were in hell, sweating coldly, with hearts filled with anxiety and fear.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan halt his killing spree, Garan Yu clenched his teeth, seeming to have made a huge decision, directly kneeling down before Ye Xunhuan and declaring, "King, Garan Yu is willing to lead all of Xumi Mountain in submission to you!"

"I hope you will spare Xumi Mountain!"

Garan Yu didn't want to submit to Ye Xunhuan, but she had no choice.

If she didn't submit, once Ye Xunhuan left, and if someone attacked Xumi Mountain, they might not be able to hold them off.

Moreover, Xumi Mountain had been around for a long time, they've surely made numerous enemies over time, and now that Xumi Mountain's strength was weakened, all those foes would likely seize this opportunity!

After all, earlier, Ye Xunhuan mentioned that Dragon Ancestor Bodhi was his follower, but not Xumi Mountain itself.

Precisely for this reason, Garan Yu boldly speculated that Ye Xunhuan intended for her submission!

(PS: The remaining two chapters will be released at 9:30 PM. By the way, let me tell you all, Xiao Yi doesn't write about cultivation. In the earlier chapters, I wrote about the Voodoo Sect and the Reanimated Corpses. You can google 'Voodoo Sect' to see why it was written that way. Also, here's a recommendation for a friend's book "Monstrous Battle Medic," an older author's work filled with passion and excitement. If you're book-hungry, check it out; the quality is certainly guaranteed!)
