Chapter 261 Unleashing a Bloodbath, Reap What You Sow
"Ancestor, please calm your anger!"
The Bai family patriarch carefully tried to appease his enraged ancestor.
However, the deep voice suddenly roared angrily: "You bunch of good-for-nothings! How dare you lose my treasure! I'll eat you all and then go and take back my treasure!"
His voice was hysterical, and in his deep tone it sounded as if not just one person was speaking, but rather several men's and women's voices intertwined together.
The portrait fell, and the vines danced like pythons, whistling through the air, and pierced directly through the chest of an elder.
The elder coughed up blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He looked down at the bloody hole in his chest and muttered to himself, "Ancestor, I was at the third level of the Innate Realm... I was the pillar of the Bai family..."
However, the Bai family patriarch merely sneered, saying with utter disdain, "Heh, laughable. Third level of the Innate Realm? In my eyes, you're nothing but an ant."
"Only I am worthy to be called the pillar of the Bai family, only me!"
Since the patriarch had lost his mind and was about to start a massacre, the clan elders no longer cared about family honor and immediately fled in panic.
They pushed the speed of the Innate Realm to its limit, escaping several miles in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, they had only one thought in their minds: as long as I run fast enough, the ancestor can't catch me!
However, screams continued to ring out one after another.
The vines relentlessly pursued each fleeing elder, killing them one by one.
The scene was simpler and more brutal than slaughtering pigs or cattle, inspiring endless fear and despair.
The Bai family patriarch was closest to the ancestor, and his escape route had been blocked by vines, leaving him nowhere to run.
His face turned pale as he watched in horror as the vines hunted and devoured one person after another. The elders who had just been discussing family affairs with him were now dead souls beneath the vines.
His usually composed demeanor shattered completely at this moment.
He was the head of the Bai family, second only to the emperor, and incredibly powerful and arrogant.
However, now, in the face of the enraged ancestor, he is merely an "ant" unable to control his own life and death.
He could hold on any longer and knelt down, gripping the ground tightly with both hands as if trying to grasp the last glimmer of life.
He pleaded desperately, "Ancestor, please calm your anger! Please spare my life! I'm willing to do anything for you, just please let me go."
The vines, like bloodthirsty demons, dragged one cold corpse after another past the Bai family patriarch, leaving shocking bloodstains on the ground and staining the pristine floor of the main hall.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, making one want to vomit.
Just then, the Bai family patriarch stepped out of the cave, standing on his shattered portrait.
His figure appeared particularly sinister and terrifying in the dim light, and the cave behind him was extremely deep.
The ancestor was cautious and suspicious by nature, and even the Bai family patriarch did not know where this ancestor usually rested.
Each time, the clan elders simply followed instructions, delivering the so-called "offerings" to the designated location before respectfully withdrawing without daring to linger.
However, the ancestor now appears unusually crazy, almost out of control.
His mental state was deteriorating, and he actually did something absurd that exposed his whereabouts and undermined the foundation of the Bai family. The Bai family patriarch was secretly amazed, but dared not show the slightest abnormality.
He cautiously looked up and peeked.
The old ancestor took out a heart from his hand and put it into his mouth without hesitation.
His face was covered in blood, and his mouth was stretched open with a ferocious smile, making him look like a wild beast that only knew how to eat raw meat and drink blood.
The Bai family patriarch was startled and quickly lowered his head, pretending that he hadn't seen anything.
His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, but the fear and despair still spread through him.
He knew he was on the verge of death. Who could save him now? The leaders of the Four Clans? But they were far away in Huai Valley!
The Bai family patriarch's face grew paler and paler, his eyes filled with despair, for he could not think of any way out.
His dignity as the dignified patriarch of the Bai family and a master of innate cultivation had vanished at this moment. All he could do now was cry and beg for mercy, pleading in a trembling voice for his ancestor to spare his life.
But begging for mercy is useless.
Blood splattered again, staining the fallen memorial tablets red.
"I'm so hungry..." the Bai family patriarch sighed unsatisfiedly.
His eyes were bloodshot, and hunger had completely consumed his reason. The last vestige of his reason was focused on reclaiming his treasure.
By this time, some people had already noticed something amiss with the ancestral hall.
In the Bai family, the ancestral hall is the most important place, where portraits of ancestors, ancestral tablets, and the soul tablets of several innate elders are enshrined.
The ferocious vines were quiet for a moment after devouring several innate beings, but when someone approached, they transformed into terrifying hunters once again.
How many people live in the Bai family ancestral home? Nobody knows.
But now, there's only one left.
The Bai family patriarch's hunger was finally relieved, and he turned his head, following his sense of the treasure.
A pair of bloodshot eyes looked towards the direction of Huai Valley.
