Chapter 454: For the Family
Boom.
After a few moments, the Formation Array finally broke and the blue glow that had protected the inhabitants of the Sima Family for such a long time was finally gone.
The Dark Lord flung Sima Luo to the side and the force made Sima Luo shoot down into the ground a distance away.
And after that, the Dark Lord slowly descended into the Sima Family mansion.
"Help!" There were screams around Sima Yu when they saw the Dark Lord appear in front of them.
Some of the guards and men from the Sima Family came up at him with whatever courage they had, but it was futile.
The dark tentacles turned into thin strands that were as thin as a hair and shot at them.
Splatter.
It didn’t matter what artifacts the guards and men of the Sima Family had on them, they were useless against the fine strands of dark tentacles.
The fine strands of dark tentacles plunged through the guards and men of the Sima Family with ease and they were turned into bodies with thousands of punctured wounds in an instant.
Sima Bang and Sima Sun tried to stop the Dark Lord but they too weren’t able to cause any damage to the Dark Lord.
Sima Luo, who was heavily injured and cast to the side by the Dark Lord, was now unconscious and wasn’t able to do much.
Qian Ren got excited with what he was witnessing but with his nascent soul gone at the moment, he wasn’t doing so well for himself.
His head felt like it was splitting in half with his Spiritual Sea damaged.
And to make matters even worse for him, his dantian was rapidly deteriorating, all the Spirit Qi was escaping or flowing in reverse throughout his body.
"Sect leader." Elder Tan came over to Qian Ren and he tried to help him.
But Qian Ren shook his head and pointed at the Sima Family mansion.
"Go and destroy whatever you can." He didn’t know who the Dark Lord was but Qian Ren knew that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Six Pulse Sword Sect.
Even though he wasn’t doing too well himself, he wouldn’t want to miss out on the chance to destroy the Sima Family.
The elders nodded their heads at Qian Ren, and they descended down into the Sima Family mansion.
They started to go on a killing spree and killed whoever came across their paths.
Sima Bang and Sima Sun quickly changed their attention and both of them tried to stop the elders from the Six Pulse Sword Sect instead.
The Dark Lord would have to be taken care of by the family head or someone else instead...
...
Lee He Song saw what had happened a distance away and he quickly ran towards the Sima Family mansion.
He had to get Sima Long and Zhang Jie out of it and bring them to the Lin Mansion as soon as possible.
Some parts of the walls of the Sima Family mansion were now destroyed and he got into the Sima Family mansion relatively easily.
There were carnage and death all around but Lee He Song didn’t have time to be bothered with it.
He headed straight towards the house of Sima Long.
Thankfully, the Dark Lord and the elders from the Six Pulse Sword Sect hadn’t reached the area yet and he could see that the house was still intact.
Creak.
When Lee He Song pushed the doors open, he felt a gust of wind coming at his face and he raised his arm to block whatever was coming.
"I’m... sorry...." Sima Long shouted and he tried to stop the chair he had swung at Lee He Song.
Fortunately, it was nothing to Lee He Song and Lee He Song held onto the chair with ease.
"Thank the heavens it’s you..." Sima Long panted and held his hand onto his chest.
"We don’t have time, it’s better for you to come with me to the Lin Mansion." Lee He Song said and he saw Zhang Jie cowering in a corner.
"Lin Mansion?" Sima Long thought for a moment before he glanced over at his wife and at her swollen belly.
After a few moments of hesitation, he finally gave out a sigh and said, "My wife will go with you."
"What about you?" Lee He Song frowned and asked.
He was tasked to bring both of them back but if Sima Long wouldn’t want to go, he wasn’t sure if he should force Sima Long to do so.
Zhang Jie came up to Sima Long and said, "No, you have to go with me. Otherwise, I will stay here with you."
Sima Long held onto her shoulders, and looked at her sternly for once, "Go with Master Lee, keep our child safe.
"Even though the Sima Family haven’t been the greatest towards someone like me, I was still well taken care of.
"And now is not the time to run away like a coward, betraying my family name."
"But what can you do here?" Zhang Jie protested but Sima Long wasn’t convinced by it.
Sima Long glanced over at Lee He Song and said, "Bring her safely to the Lin Mansion.
"I’m sure brother Xuan Qi will understand and he would be proud of someone with loyalty like me."
Lee He Song sighed and he could understand Sima Long.
There were things in life that went beyond rationale and simple pros and cons.
And fighting for kinship and the same bloodline was one of them.
"No, you must come with me." Zhang Jie held onto the clothes of Sima Long and she tried to pull him along with her but he wouldn’t budge.
Lee He Song took the opportunity while they were tussling and he used his finger to press on the acupuncture point on Zhang Jie’s neck.
She closed her eyes and turned unconscious immediately.
Sima Long quickly held onto her before she fell onto the ground.
"I apologize, but I think this is the best way." Lee He Song said and Sima Long shook his head.
"Keep her safe and get her to the Lin Mansion." Sima Long said and Lee He Song nodded his head.
After Lee He Song left with Zhang Jie, Sima Long headed in the direction of the ancestor hall.
