"Tomorrow's life and death battle, I hope that the patriarch and the elders will refrain from interfering."
Bai Li Hongzhuang turned around and looked up at Lan Hongtai and the others. The battle between her and Lan Qingyan was inevitable.
Lan Hongtai and the others had complex expressions. The intense conflict between Bai Li Hongzhuang and Lan Qingyan was within their expectations.
However, regardless of who loses, it would be a loss for the Lan Family.
"Patriarch, since the juniors have already agreed on this, why not proceed as planned?" Lan Yunxiao's deep and magnetic voice echoed in the quiet meeting hall.
Lan Hongtai couldn't help but look at Lan Yunxiao. After seeing the calmness in his eyes, he pondered for a moment and said, "Alright!"
...
"Yunxiao, by agreeing to this, you're aware that if Xiaoyuan doesn't win in this competition, Lan Qingyan will surely take her life."
Mu Lingbing frowned deeply. She couldn't understand why they needed to proceed with such a competition given their current situation.
"Ice, this is something Xiaoyuan herself wants to do. Why should we stop her?" Lan Yunxiao sighed. "Just like how I was determined to defeat Lan Jingkuang, Xiaoyuan also has her own persistence. If she wins, she can openly reclaim the Rainbow Divine Bead. Isn't that a good thing?"
"It would indeed be great if she wins, but if..."
"We should believe in Xiaoyuan."
Confidence flickered in Lan Yunxiao's eyes. He was full of confidence in his proud daughter.
The news of the life and death battle between Bai Li Hongzhuang and Lan Qingyan quickly spread among the Lan Family, causing shock among the clan members.
"The Second Miss and the Young Miss are actually going to have a life and death battle? Does this mean that in the end, only one of them will remain as a Miss in our family?"
"With the grudges between the Young Miss and the Second Miss over the years, even if they both stay in the family, they won't be able to coexist peacefully."
"But still, it's such a pity."
For a while, the Lan Family members sighed with emotion. A life and death battle within the family was a rare occurrence.
Lan Hongtai acted swiftly and decisively. Almost immediately, the members of the Yue Family who sought refuge with the Lan Family were slaughtered by the Lan Family members.
If you don't uproot the grass, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
Lan Hongtai was well aware of this point. The Yue Family came to take refuge in their Lan Family, yet they dared to make a move against them. They simply didn't deserve to live!
Now, only two people remained in the Yue Family: Yue Taotian and Yue Siqing.
Lan Hongtai intended to hand them over to Situ Yan and the others for handling.
Since learning of the annihilation of the Yue Family, Yue Taotian had already fallen into a state of collapse. The consecutive blows made it difficult for him to bear, and he became completely frenzied.
As for Yue Siqing, the gu poison had erupted fully. One could hear her painful screams every day from the dungeon.
The inch by inch of pain that spread throughout her body made her want to end her own life. However, Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others had anticipated this and imprisoned her in a special cage where there was nothing that could be used for suicide.
Yue Siqing's cultivation, which had been previously suppressed, was now completely crippled by Mu Jinse. She had become a useless person.
Without the support of spiritual power, her suffering only intensified, driving her to the brink of madness.
Mu Jinse spent the entire night in the dungeon with Yue Siqing, and no one knew what they had talked about.
