I Have an Omen System

BOOM!

The sound transformed into sonic blades, sweeping across the entire Qixing Lake battlefield.

The Wu Family Cultivators, who bore the brunt of the attack, felt as if an invisible sledgehammer had slammed into their Divine Souls.

SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!

Those with weaker Cultivation immediately started bleeding from all seven orifices, their eyes bulging as they clutched their heads, shrieked in agony, and dropped dead on the spot.

Even those at the Mid-stage Qi Refining or higher were afflicted with splitting headaches. The Spiritual Power in their bodies instantly fell into disarray, leaving them powerless to fight back.

Wang Runsheng’s eyes lit up. The terrifying Demonic Sound had intentionally avoided the Wang Family Cultivators!

"My sons, kill them! Avenge our fallen clansmen!"

Wang Runsheng’s eyes were crimson as blood as he roared and was the first to charge forward again.

With every swing of a blade, blood sprayed through the air. Every Wang Family Cultivator’s eyes were red with bloodlust.

In an instant, the battle turned into a rout. The Wu Family’s imposing formation collapsed in a moment.

A cacophony of screams filled the air.

"Damn it, what kind of Divine Technique is this?"

Wu Siyuan, at the Foundation Establishment Second Level, trembled violently. His face was deathly pale, and the circulation of his Spiritual Power stagnated for several breaths.

It felt as if a red-hot branding iron had been ruthlessly shoved into his head, which throbbed with swelling pain!

In that instant, as Wu Siyuan’s sea of consciousness roiled and his mind faltered,

"Geng Metal Breaking Gang, go!"

Qin Xuan barked the command, suddenly flicking up his left hand, which he had kept hidden until now.

Two dazzlingly golden Second-tier Treasure Talismans were suddenly unleashed.

The Treasure Talismans erupted in golden light, transforming into two bolts of golden lightning that tore through the sky and slammed viciously into Wu Siyuan’s defenseless chest.

"SPURT—!"

Wu Siyuan violently spat out a huge mouthful of blood.

His eyes filled with incredulous horror.

As if struck by a massive blow, his entire chest visibly caved in, and his body was sent flying backward like a broken kite with its string cut.

"No... Impossible!"

A bone-deep fear surged within him.

’How could my proud Earth Dao Foundation Establishment Cultivation be so fragile? I couldn’t even take a single move?’

"ROAR!"

The Cyan-arm Stone Ape pressed its advantage, its massive cyan figure leaving an afterimage as it appeared above the flying Wu Siyuan as if teleporting!

"Young Master!"

The remaining Wu Family Cultivators below cried out in despair.

BAM!

The Cyan-arm Stone Ape clasped its hands together and hammered down, unleashing a scalp-numbing crunch of breaking bones and bursting flesh that was sickeningly clear.

"AHH..." Wu Siyuan let out an inhuman scream.

His left shoulder and half his arm were instantly smashed into a blurry pulp of flesh and gore.

His entire body, trailing a shower of blood, was viciously slammed into the ruins below.

CRASH!

Dust and rubble shot into the sky.

A dignified Earth Dao Foundation Establishment Cultivator, now embedded in the ruins like a dead dog, his status unknown.

"The Young Master... is defeated..."

It’s unclear who shouted it first, but the Wu Family Cultivators’ morale completely shattered.

Having witnessed their Young Master get swatted away by that terrifying Demon Beast, the remaining Wu Family Cultivators threw down their weapons and armor and fled for their lives, scrambling away from Qixing Lake.

"Sons of the Wang Family, follow me and slay the enemy! We must eradicate this evil completely! Leave none alive!"

Wang Runsheng roared and was about to lead the family disciples in another charge, but Qin Xuan stopped him.

"Don’t pursue a desperate enemy. Quickly, take some men to clean up the battlefield, salvage the Spiritual Fields, and collect the bodies of our clansmen.

Take over the Wu Family’s territory. All spoils of war from this battle will first be used to compensate the families of our fallen clansmen. The rest will be put into the treasury, pending discussion."

Qin Xuan gave the orders decisively, overlooking no detail.

"Elder Wang is wise! I was being foolish!"

Wang Runsheng smacked his forehead, suddenly realizing his mistake.

In a clan war, one must be meticulous even in victory.

He had to remember that every single Spirit Stone was earned with the lives of their clansmen.

Wang Runsheng then pointed to the captured Wu Siyuan, Wu Qingchuan, and the others.

"Elder Wang, what should we do with them?"

Standing on the Cyan-arm Stone Ape’s shoulder, Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes. "The Wu Family will be annihilated today."

Before his words had even faded, the Cyan-arm Stone Ape let out a deafening, skyward roar as if on cue, its ferocious might surging.

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingchuan and the other Wu Family leaders trembled violently, their faces ashen. They all dropped to their knees to beg for mercy.

"Elder Wang, spare us! We are willing to submit to the Wang Family! For the rest of our lives, we will follow the Wang Family’s lead..."

"We will hand over seventy percent of all the Wu Family’s assets to the Wang Family!"

Wu Qingchuan pleaded wretchedly as he knelt, kowtowing with such force that his forehead dripped with blood.

"Oh? Is that so?" Qin Xuan seemed interested.

"Elder Wang, you mustn’t..."

Wang Runsheng had just started to speak when Qin Xuan cut him off with a wave of his hand.

The tip of Qin Xuan’s sword shifted slightly, pointing toward the barely breathing Wu Siyuan on the ground. He then gestured to Wu Qingchuan, a cruel smile playing on his lips.

"I am a kind-hearted man. I can’t bear to see a clan completely wiped out. So, I will allow the Wu Family to preserve one bloodline."

"You... or him!"

Qin Xuan pointed at Wu Siyuan, then fixed his gaze on Wu Qingchuan and said mockingly,

"The two of you, choose one to die."

"If you can’t make a choice within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn... then for the Wu Family, not even the chickens and dogs will be spared!"

At these words, Wu Qingchuan’s face turned deathly pale.

He looked at his son on the ground, who was breathing more out than in, then at his clansmen behind him, their eyes full of despair. His lips trembled violently, and old tears streamed down his face.

Finally, a deathly, ashen stillness settled over his aged face...

"Fine. I hope Elder Wang will keep his promise."

BAM!

Wu Qingchuan’s Palm True Essence surged as he slammed his palm heavily against his own forehead.

In an instant, a gruesome mixture of yellow and white matter splattered everywhere, like a bursting watermelon, drenching the Wu Family leaders in crimson blood.

The Cyan-arm Stone Ape looked disgusted and shook its massive, cyan-gray arm, which was spattered with brain matter.

"Patriarch!"

Wu Qingwen and the other Wu Family elders threw themselves over Wu Qingchuan’s body, sobbing uncontrollably.

He hadn’t gotten to see the scene of father and son turning on each other that he had anticipated.

Qin Xuan was greatly disappointed.

’The Wu Family’s cohesiveness is surprisingly strong.’

"Stone Ape, they’re all yours."

"ROAR!" The Cyan-arm Stone Ape’s face twisted into a human-like sneer.

CRUNCH!

The Wu Family leaders were stunned as if struck by lightning, frozen in place.

Wu Qingwen roared in grief and fury, "Old Dog Wang, you’re worse than a pig or a dog! You went back on your word...!"

SPLAT!

Before he could finish, Wu Qingwen and the other Wu Family leaders burst like fruit, tossed into the Cyan-arm Stone Ape’s mouth, and were messily chewed and swallowed whole.

The scene was horrifically bloody.

"ROAR!" The Cyan-arm Stone Ape seemed unsatisfied.

Afterward, it extended its long, scarlet tongue to lick the corners of its mouth, letting out a low, satisfied whimper.

Even the experienced Wang Runsheng couldn’t help but turn his head away, his stomach churning violently.

Qin Xuan spoke nonchalantly.

"Runsheng, come here. Organize the various branches. In one hour, I have instructions to give."

Staring into Qin Xuan’s dark, intimidating eyes, Wang Runsheng gulped, feeling that his Elder Wang’s temperament had changed completely, as if he were a different person.

"As you command!"

...

「One hour later, in the family’s ancestral hall」

Of the Wang Family’s three branches, only a dozen or so Cultivators remained. Surprisingly, Wang Lanmeng’s brother, Wang Lanfeng, was still alive.

"Elder Wang, all branches have assembled!" Wang Runsheng reported with a bow.

As the Elder, Wang Zezhou held a natural authority over the entire Wang Family.

Of course, they had no idea that the Elder before them had long since been replaced by someone else.

"Two things."

Qin Xuan didn’t even lift his eyelids, simply holding up two sallow fingers.

"First, we will absorb the Wu Family of Cold Abyss Valley and seize all of their Artifact Refining materials. From now on, our Qixing Royal Family will no longer raise Spirit Fish. Instead, we will engage in Artifact Refining, just like the Wu Family."

"Elder Wang, we absolutely must not! Our Wang Family has raised Blood-tailed Carp for generations! To abruptly switch to Artifact Refining now, wouldn’t that be..."

An Elder started to object but was stopped by Wang Runsheng.

He asked tentatively, "Elder Wang, could it be that on your trip to Canglin Country..."

"Mm. I was fortunate enough to acquire a Foundation Establishment Pill at an auction, and I also happened upon a complete Artifact Refining inheritance."

Upon hearing this, the Wang Family Cultivators looked at each other, trembling with excitement. The thrill was visible in their eyes.

’A complete Artifact Refining inheritance!’

Qin Xuan’s expression remained unchanged. "It is enough that you all know of this. Do not publicize it. This is the lifeline of our Qixing Royal Family. Just focus on your work."

"Yes, yes! Elder Wang is wise!" Wang Runsheng kowtowed repeatedly, his face filled with irrepressible joy.

’No wonder Elder Wang wants to change our focus.’

’It seems our Qixing Royal Family is finally going to rise to prominence!’

"Elder Wang, may I ask what the second matter is?"
