Chapter 349: Beautiful World! (Combined Chapter)
"Eliminate the roots?"
"That might be a bit inappropriate, right?"
Yan Kai furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat reluctant.
Although loyal to the sect, and prepared for a bloody storm to acquire abundant resources, this was merely directed at cultivators and did not include mortals.
To cause such slaughter so swiftly, he was still unprepared and felt a twinge of reluctance in his heart.
"Even though they are just mortals, aren't immortal cultivators born from the vast population of mortals?"
"If we eliminate all the cultivators from the Bai Family, who can guarantee that an outstanding child among the Bai Family mortals won't seek revenge after becoming an immortal cultivator?"
"If they become high-level cultivators, it would not only spell disaster for us and our families but also be a calamity for the sect."
"Junior Brother Yan, at this point, we cannot afford to be soft-hearted!"
Cui Liang said solemnly.
While he was "careful and cautious" when facing cultivators of the same tier and did not want to easily confront them, valuing his own life immensely, he advocated for a firm attitude and approach against the cultivators and forces of Yan State.
If one had to categorize him, he would be considered an "hawk."
"But these Bai Family mortals are innocent; they do not have the power to resist and cannot threaten us."
Yan Kai hesitated.
"Innocent?"
"No, they are not innocent."
"If it weren't for the Bai Family's strength, how could these Bai Family mortals develop into such a large number, with hundreds of thousands?"
"Isn't it thanks to the Bai Family's power that they suppress other mortals and compress their living space to achieve their current scale?!"
Cui Liang chuckled in his heart and wore a cold smile on his face.
"They have enjoyed the benefits brought by the Bai Family's prosperity, and now it is time for them to taste the bitter fruit."
Cui Liang said decisively.
From the perspective of the sect and the team, his stance was not wrong, and this approach aligned with the interests of the cultivators present.
However, for the Bai Family and the hundreds of thousands of secular clansmen, it was filled with malice.
"Friend Cui's words are reasonable; we must not be soft-hearted at this moment, or we will face endless troubles!"
"Among tens of thousands of Bai Family mortals, there will always be some with spiritual roots in every generation."
"If they are found by the remaining Bai Family remnants and embark on the path of cultivation, and even succeed in foundation establishment by chance, it would pose a significant threat to us."
"Even if we are unafraid, what about our clansmen, friends, and future disciples?"
"If you all dislike trouble and don't want to handle this dirty work, just leave it to the Wei Family."
"As long as Friend Qingyang gives the order, I will immediately instruct my clansmen to take care of it!"
As she spoke, the Second Elder of the Wei Family, Wei Guping, bowed respectfully to Liu Yu.
Her name was Wei Guping, and at the age of fifty-three, with the help of her family, she struggled to succeed in foundation establishment.
However, she had no potential for further advancement and remained at the early stage of foundation establishment.
Over the past two hundred years, she had witnessed the rise of the Bai Family and the entangled grievances between the two families.
Wei Guping was well aware of the Bai Family's overt and covert suppression of the Wei Family and bore it silently while keeping it in her heart.
Several talented members of the Wei Family had died under mysterious circumstances, and she and the clan leader knew who was behind it.
The seeds of hatred had long been sown!
The hatred in her eyes, combined with her wrinkled face, made her appear particularly ugly at this moment.
But this was merely an outsider's perspective and did not represent all of Wei Guping's character.
In the eyes of her clansmen, as an elder, she had dedicated her life to the family, fond of mentoring the younger generation and caring for the juniors.
