After the bite of a certain child so impregnated caused a rotting deep wound, Xie Jianying could only lie on the bed helplessly feeling the pain all over her body.
Yesterday, the healer had checked but found nothing strange to make Xie Jianying very upset. Obviously he was in pain all the time, but the healer instead said that he was healthy and just wrapped the wound on his hand. Until when night fell, the wound on Xie Jianying's hand was rotting.
Xie Jianying could only sleep for some time as she endured the pain, until she finally woke up when she smelled an even more stinging foul scent. Is his hand getting worse?
He wanted to move his body, but it was too stiff that the pain spread again making him groan so pitifully. His veins turned black, looking extremely sinister accompanied by a pale face. Just overnight, he turned into this which made him very unwilling to believe.
The stench was becoming more and more clearly carried by the wind, right towards Xie Jianying who was still sprawled. He turned his head, at that very moment his pale face became even paler until it was so colorless white.
He wanted to escape, but he could not move until he could only look at the piled up flesh with blood flowing on the floor. His eyes almost came out, while his body trembled violently until sweaty circles soaked the clothes. At the same time, he shouted extremely loudly causing all the servants to run around looking at him.
"Miss, what's going on?" When the servants arrived, they immediately cried out in fear at the pile of meat right in the middle of Xie Jianying's room.
"What are you guys doing there? Quickly remove!" Xie Jianying was so crazy right now. When he saw the head lying in front of his bed, he immediately recognized the identity of the corpses.
They were the ones he sent to kill Xie Ran! How can it be like this!
At this moment, Xie Jianying was filled with fear. It was clear that Xie Ran had deliberately returned these corpses to give him a warning. Xie Ran already knew he did it, whereas today was the day where the execution was carried out. Xie Jianying was extremely scared, thinking he would also be dragged to the execution altar due to this matter.
The servants tried to brave themselves to get rid of the pieces of meat that were piled up like horrible. Some of them instantly nauseated and vomited, some were just silently shaking unable to do anything.
The Xie Jianying family came. They were also shocked by the terrifying sight right before their eyes. Their legs were squeezed, especially the head of the family thought only Xie Ran could do it and their family would not be let off. They could only blame the stupid Xie Jianying.
In the distance a few meters away from the residence, Xie Ran stood up with a thin smile engraved looking at the fear of that one family. Dou Dou Dou's work was so good that it made them hysterical like that.
"You're gonna kill them too?" Qu Xuanzi by his side asked. If Xie Ran had already smiled at his enemy, there would have been murder.
"Depends on my mood. But for Xie Jianying, I will give her the privilege of feeling Xiao Caihong's poison slowly rather than executing. The rest, afraid that the prison is full, I'd prefer."
"Close to you," Qu Xuanzi replied calmly. "Actually, you're still too soft on them."
Xie Ran glanced at Qu Xuanzi in surprise. What else should be cruel? This time alone he was considered outrageous to carry out a massive execution. But in Qu Xuanzi's eyes was still too gentle?
"Then, how about I not be so gentle with them?"
"It's too early." Qu Xuanzi did not want to say it as it was no match for the 'soft' Xie Ran'. If you want to kill someone, then kill them. No need to use his methods.
But Xie Ran did not fail to catch his point. He smiled, then nodded. "If you think about it, I'm too soft."
Liu Chang who was jacking on the other end as an observer could only fall silent. He wanted to call Xie Ran to immediately go to the hall, but accidentally heard their inhumane conversation.
This couple .. they talk about life and death as if talking about the weather.
Liu Chang cleared his throat, making the two freaks turn to look at him. Liu Chang remained silent for a while, then walked up to Xie Ran while saying, "Everyone is waiting for you in the hall. The time is also near."
Xie Ran nodded. "Because everything is ready, it would be better to go directly to the location. There are a few things I want to say after the execution."
They went straight to where the execution was carried out. There were several tools for mass execution on the vast page, everyone present could see it clearly.
Several men in armor stood on each of the wooden beams used for the captives, with long swords in tightly clasped hands.
The disciples and clan members could only remain silent on the spot. Family members were required to look and stand crying. There's no happiness there, there's just sad things.
Xie Ran had already come when the captives were dragged to the execution ground. But when the announcement of the execution took place and the sword was raised, Qu Xuanzi closed Xie Ran's eyes.
"Wouldn't have seen."
"I'm used to it." Xie Ran couldn't see clearly after all.
"I don't want your eyes to be tarnished." Qu Xuanzi just felt, he did not want Xie Ran to see anything bad and depressing. The mass execution was different from the war, not worth Xie Ran's eyes.
Just when the heads of the captives were separated accompanied by the cries and cries of the people, Qu Xuanzi just opened Xie Ran's eyes.
At this moment, there were many people who hated Xie Ran greatly even though it was not revealed directly. Whatever Xie Ran's decision, they wouldn't like it and continued to hate it.
Xie Ran returned to the hall. In the middle of the road, he met Xie Wang who had not been present in front of people all this time. Xie Wang completely did not interfere, but this time Xie Ran had said something that made him have to come.
"Ranran, are you really going?" Xie Wang was a bit worried. Although there was Qu Xuanzi by his side, he still worried about his beloved granddaughter who had yet to fully recover.
Xie Ran nodded. "Maybe after my departure, I will recover. The Xie Clan for a while I leave it to Grandpa, is that okay?"
Xie Wang sighed. "Yeah, why should I go? There hasn't been a month for this old man to see you, but he'll be separated again. Is it because these people hate you? I'll handle it."
"It would be better if they hated me. Grandfather, I am thinking of closing the Xie Clan temporarily, only loyal people remain within the clan. The Xie clan would move from the empire to completely break away from the empire. I thought, there is something within the empire and do not want to involve the Xie Clan."
"Is something?"
"It's still not certain. But I don't want to interfere in the matters of the empire, I just want to protect the Xie Clan. Grandpa, please cooperate."
Xie Ran had yet to say this to Zhong Xiaorong and the others. When he left with Zhong Guofeng, he could slightly feel the demonic breath within the palace. He was still not convinced of that, so could only take precautions. He would also tell Zhong Xiaorong to be careful later.
The remaining accomplices of the demon lord were two, so he had to be careful. But since the Demon Emperor didn't make trouble, he wouldn't bother him. It's just, he felt there was something else—other than the Demon Emperor— that was bothering him.
Since Xie Ran was already determined, even Xie Wang had no choice. He sighed then nodded, following Xie Ran into the hall together.
Xie Wang's arrival into the hall caused all attention to be directed at him, intending to ask for justice. They thought that Xie Ran was really outrageous causing Xie Wang to be angry and present at the meeting to give him a punishment. Thinking about it, they felt happy to be able to teach Xie Ran a lesson.
Standing before the crowd that most of them were widowed women and children, Xie Wang could only sigh for the umpteenth time. The Xie Clan actually kept useless people who could only do harm, it was only natural that Xie Ran would do a mass cleaning.
Xie Ran next to him, just looked at the crowd whispering to each other with flat faces. Only a few people were silent, whereas the rest including the family that had just been left could not be silent.
Xie Wang let out his aura, causing everyone to shut up. They had absolutely no respect for Xie Ran either as the chairman or the clan lady, which made Xie Wang very upset.
After everyone was silent, Xie Wang glanced at Xie Ran and nodded at him. Xie Ran began to speak, "If there are still people who don't like my methods, I can let you go. The previous offer was still the same, drink farewell wine and leave. The Xie Clan doesn't need incompetent members."
Their gaze was directed at Xie Wang who was just silent. Xie Wang is here just to observe? Not defending them?
In an instant, their hopes were dashed by less than half a minute.
No one is talking, all is quiet. They do not want to be separated from wealth and strength, so they choose to survive in hell rather than being homeless. They can only harbor hatred that can no longer be restored, waiting for Xie Ran's death and they gain freedom.
Seeing that there was still no one moving, Xie Ran glanced at Mei Liena giving her a gesture. Mei Liena immediately nodded, then walked to Xie Ran's side.
He took out some pills. Blood red pills that have a distinctive aroma and are very soothing. But when the pill fell into Xie Ran's hands, they gave off a dense red radiance making the pill seem like a drop of blood.
Mei Liena faced everyone then explained, "His name is the Blood Pill of Loyalty. After the Clan Leader refined the pill with enchantment magic, the effect of the pill would be even stronger which could make his drinkers obey all the words of the Clan Leader. If you drink it, it might save your lives."
Everyone is surprised. Isn't it the same as getting into Xie Ran's control? How horrible is that! They will obviously never be able to take revenge or in part, completely become slaves to Xie Ran who cannot have the life they want.
Mei Liena smiled, then continued, "However, before that happens, maybe you will experience the torment of your filthy souls. With this, your memory will be lost, there are no feelings or emotions, just like being born again. Take it easy, it won't destroy your power."
They all look at each other. It seemed like the Clan Chief had somewhat softened after executing many people despite his methods being quite ruthless. At least, they did not die or lose strength. Just memory loss, it's not a problem.
But for some who have absolute hatred certainly object. Forget everything Xie Ran did and become his slave? They'd rather die than do that!
And just as Xie Ran had expected, many disagreed and started provoking each other. It seems they are impatient again.
Xie Ran smiled deeply. "Liena, prepare the farewell wine."
"Good."
Everyone inhaled a cold breath, then some people hurriedly came forward and knelt down to receive the loyalty blood pill. Followed by the others left a few people behind who were somewhat stiffened.
"Chairman of the Clan, beg his mercy. We will do anything for the Clan Chief!" They lowered their heads, not daring to look at Xie Ran.
Xie Ran simply hinted at the waiter to give them all the pills. They received one pill each, including young children over 3 years of age.
When one of them downed him, his body instantly gnawed and pale. His eyes turned white, he fell, the spasms in place made everyone stiffen.
"Klan— Chief"
Mei Liena interrupted to explain, "This is the initial effect for someone with bad thoughts, it could be even worse according to the behavior in the past. For kids, it won't be that bad."
They all stared at the pills in hand with complicated expressions. They have grown up, they have made a lot of mistakes. To be reborn is to make up for all their mistakes and become blank paper.
With doubt and fear, some began to drink. The rest just quietly looked for another time, seeing some people screaming in pain and convulsions together. There were even those who until his mouth frothed like poisoning. To endure such pain is to die better than to live.
"The rest, throw it away." Xie Ran's words fell into the ears of those who had not yet drunk.
Quickly who had received the pill immediately drank it before being checked for farewell wine. Almost all the disciples drank it together, then fell into a miserable state. The children who drank it did not experience anything bad, they only had a fever and were immediately collected for treatment. Others left.
Some people who refused to take the pill were not given the opportunity to apologize. Xie Ran had given them a loophole to live better, but they refused so they could only accept the arak of punishment.
After being checked for farewell wine, they were dragged out of the clan. The clan was encompassed by a forest connected to the Star Forest. Many wild animals roam. Those who do not realize sooner and go to the city will die devoured.
The effects that occurred on the pill varied until the hall was filled with dying humans. There were some who had recovered, but were still exhausted so they could only be weakly sprawled.
Time continued to pass, until finally the people who had experienced torment had regained consciousness. Whereas Xie Ran just played with Long Ying in his hand ignoring all of them.
Xie Wang became acquainted with some of Xie Ran's dragons. There was no Xiao Caihong here because he was with Su Liu'er. While Yan Yao and Liu Chang were playing paper stone scissors, Pei Xi and Zhou Kui were playing chess quietly, as well as Mei Liena and Zhong Xiaorong who were watching the show two fools and two people joined in.
They were kind enough to wait for the dying people to come to their senses.
Until finally almost half of them had come to their senses, stunned by the confusing situation of the hall. Actually their chairman and the others have been waiting for so long?
Xie Chao, the head of the clan family in Guizhou City who was a distant relative of Xie Yao came to his senses first and immediately knelt down.
"This branch, Xie Chao, will obey all the words of the Clan Chief." Xie Chao did not hesitate to kneel down. Even though he had been cleansed, he still clearly remembered what had happened before which meant that the pill did not erase his memories. It seems that only certain people have lost their memories.
Xie Ran and the others' views were directed at Xie Chao. Xie Chao was one of the families that shut down since Huai Mao's reign. He was exiled by another family and dropped into the mud until finally no longer interfere in clan matters.
Even during this cleansing operation, they were silent even though they had been splashed with blood on the first day. He considers it a payment from Xie Ran, killing all who dropped his family right in sight.
"Even if you don't take the pills, I know you'll obey." Xie Ran then looked at his grandfather.
Xie Wang stood up and went towards Xie Chao. "Aiya, Xiao Chao, there is no need to continue kneeling like that. Ranran is a bit rude but actually he's good."
Xie Chao was stunned by Xie Wang's unchanged welcome from year to year. He smiled, then stood up and bowed in front of Xie Wang. "Murid saluted Master."
Liu Chang in the corner of the delay spurted tea from his mouth onto Yan Yao's face. He was surprised to hear the call. Actually Xie Chao was Xie Wang's student! How could? What does that mean, his own grandson had been oppressing his student all this time?
Liu Chang was completely unconscious, his actions made Yan Yao extremely annoyed and eager to punch him. Lucky still in the hall, he'll teach a lesson later.
Xie Ran was even more silent. What kind of surprise is this!
Xie Wang laughed out loud. "Haha, it's unexpected that you still remember after eating my granddaughter's pills. I thought you'd forget about this old man. It's not in vain that I take care of you!"
Grandpa, haven't you forgotten your previous student? Are you unconscious or pretending not to know? Xie Ran felt that this grandfather was very strange beyond his expectations. How did Xie Chao have this irresponsible teacher?
Xie Ran stood up from the chair, ignoring Xie Chao who was now Xie Wang's concern. If seen, Xie Chao was the same age as his father, it shouldn't be a problem to give him some work so as not to be too leisurely by Xie Wang's side.
Qu Xuanzi who had been busy himself since earlier by Xie Ran's side could only smile silently. His Ranran was jealous of his own grandfather's student, he looked cute.
"I waited not without reason, but to announce something." Xie Ran immediately spoke making all the new clan members aware point at him full of questions. Their views are no longer views of hatred, but rather devotion.
Except for the children and Xie Chao, all of them lost their memories. Xie Ran made it specifically at Xie Wang's request. They were not in Xie Ran's control, but rather would do what they were supposed to do after experiencing memory loss. They forget everything except their families because of the bond of blood. That's why the pill is called the loyalty pill.
Xie Ran continued, "From today on, I announce that the Xie Clan is no longer in imperial power. The Xie clan will disappear from the empire, secluding itself with my grandfather. For some time, I will go somewhere, my grandfather who will take over the clan until I return. So, please cooperate for this."
Everyone bowed respectfully then said in unison, "Okay, Clan Leader!"
Xie Wang turned to face Xie Ran, intending to ask a question. "Ranran, where are you going after this?"
Xie Ran was silent for a while looking at his six friends, then looked at his grandfather back. "Content Lava."
