The Blue family members were extremely shocked upon learning of Lan Hongtai's decision. It was completely different from the family head's previous style, but none of the elders opposed it.
They were well aware that for a family to undergo a transformation, it would inevitably require a baptism of blood. Although the process was cruel, the benefits were equally enormous.
The smooth progress of this decision was largely thanks to the internal strife that occurred among Lan Jingkuang and others at that time. If it hadn't been for that internal strife, the Blue family members would have found it difficult to proceed with everything.
Lan Kaicheng and others had always believed that the family head would never turn against them. Therefore, upon learning of the orders conveyed by the family head, they all fell into madness.
"Impossible! The family head can't do this to us!" Lan Kaicheng continuously shook his head, his face filled with despair.
"As elders of the Blue family, we have toiled for so many years. Even if we made a wrong choice this time, his actions are excessively cruel," Lan Yongtai expressed his astonishment, mixed with pain and difficulty accepting the situation.
Lan Borong looked at Lan Kaicheng and others, who were driven to madness, with a hint of sigh in his expression.
"It's not terrible to stand on the wrong side, but the means you all have employed in these years have exceeded the limits we can tolerate. Now, accept the consequences."
Over these years, Lan Hongtai had not turned a blind eye to the actions of Lan Kaicheng and others. It was just that after losing Lan Yunxiao, he had fallen into a depressed state and couldn't be bothered with many things.
Now that Lan Yunxiao had returned, the situation had completely changed. They wouldn't continue to indulge in all the mistakes and hidden dangers they had created in the past.
Upon hearing Lan Borong's resolute words, the faces of Lan Kaicheng and others turned extremely pale. If they still held a glimmer of hope before, they now realized that there was no possibility left.
Not far away, Lan Jingkuang also lost all color in his handsome face upon hearing Lan Hongtai's decision. Jealousy and resentment surged within him to the extreme.
He fiercely slammed his fist against the wall, leaving behind a bloody mark.
"Jingkuang!"
Yue Manlan was startled to see Lan Jingkuang's action and quickly walked to his side.
"This damn old man! I only destroyed Lan Yunxiao's family, and he treats me like this. But now, for the sake of helping Lan Yunxiao stabilize his position, he actually orders the deaths of all of them. I don't hold any weight in his heart!"
Although Lan Jingkuang was imprisoned in the dungeon, he had some understanding of the events happening outside. Especially the crucial news that Lan Yunxiao was about to succeed as the Blue family head, which almost everyone was discussing. This was the most difficult thing for him to accept.
As she listened to Lan Jingkuang's complaints, Yue Manlan also fell into silence.
They were already utterly disheartened at this point. Comparatively, it was a kind of luxury for Lan Kaicheng and others to die painlessly, while they would probably endure endless torture.
After Lan Borong issued the order and left, Lan Kaicheng and others looked at Lan Jingkuang and Yue Manlan with eyes filled with anger.
"It's all your fault! It's all because of you!"
Lan Jingkuang's face turned ashen. "You chose this path yourselves, and now you blame me. You deserve to die!"
