Chapter 1120 The whereabouts of the ancestor remain a mystery

The core masters of the family fell one after another, and in the blink of an eye, there were heavy casualties.

In the blink of an eye, less than 10% of the Situ family members who were crowded together just now were left, and all of them had terrified faces and staggered steps, obviously frightened.

As the patriarch of the Situ family, Situ Xiong's whole body was glowing at this moment, and his body was covered with layer upon layer of brilliant light. Each layer of light represented a precious body-protecting treasure.

There are purple crystal armor that can resist attacks from the soul, gilded shields that can absorb immortal energy, and jade pendants that can rebound attacks...

These treasures are his most valuable treasures, each of which is priceless. Only a clan leader like him is qualified to use them. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the family's most precious treasures!

However, water droplets fell directly from the sky. Each droplet looked only as big as a little finger, but the power contained in it was extremely terrifying!

The moment the first layer of light touched the water droplets, it shattered like bubbles, followed by the second layer, the third layer...

The light dissipated quickly like fallen leaves swept by the wind, and the protective magic weapons lost their luster one after another.

In the blink of an eye, they all turned into useless waste, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

Seeing this, Situ Xiong's eyes turned red. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, forced all the immortal power in his body to flow, and formed complex seals with his hands, trying to use his own immortal power to resist the attack of the water droplets.

However, everything was in vain!

The water droplets all over the sky are so unreasonable, as if they can penetrate all defenses and take away all life.

As the water droplets fell on his body, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if countless small swords were cutting his body at the same time.

"what!!!"

A shrill scream came from Situ Xiong's mouth, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.

He subconsciously looked down and saw that his body was riddled with holes. Densely packed small holes kept appearing and blood was flowing out of the holes.

He tried his best to mobilize his spiritual power to repair his body, but as soon as the spiritual power touched the wound, it was swallowed up by a strange force and had no effect at all.

Moreover, the speed at which his body melted was even faster than he had imagined. In a blink of an eye, most of his arm had melted, leaving only half of his arm still dripping with sticky liquid.

In the blink of an eye, his body was rotten beyond recognition, leaving only half of his body and a right hand that was still trembling slightly.

"No! I can't die like this! Ancestor! Ancestor, save me! Ancestor!!!"

Situ Xiong screamed in despair, his voice hoarse and full of unwillingness.

He is the patriarch of the Situ family, holding a high status and controlling the lives and deaths of countless people. How could he die here in such a cowardly way?

There was only one thought in his mind - Ancestor!

The ancestor of the Situ family is a genuine Divine Emperor at the peak of his power. If the ancestor appears, he will definitely be able to save him!

Unfortunately, as he wailed miserably, his body continued to melt and his consciousness gradually faded.

Until he completely lost his breath, the ancestor whom he regarded as his only savior did not show up!

On the other side, Master Situ was terrified. He looked at his father melting in misery, his legs weak, and he no longer had the arrogance he had before. He just screamed, "No! I don't want to die!!!"

"I'm sorry! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have had such bad intentions towards you! Please spare me! If you killed my father, don't kill me!!!"

Master Situ, who usually prides himself on being a filial son, actually said such heartless words in order to save his own life.

If Situ Xiong had died a second later and heard these words, he would probably have been so angry that he would have come back to life and died again!

However, no matter how he knelt and begged for mercy, or how he cried bitterly, he could not stop his own death.

When the water droplets fell on his body, he felt a chill all over his body, followed by a piercing pain.

Amidst his desperate howls, his body quickly deformed like a melting candle, and he eventually died completely, without even a trace left.

The other members of the Situ family also died one after another without any accidents.

Those guests who had fought alongside the Situ family before were now regretting it to the core.

They originally just wanted to come and help, to get closer to the Situ family, and to get some benefits by the way. They never thought that they would pay the price with their lives.

But things have developed to the point where they are completely out of their control.

They regretted it very much and wanted to leave and no longer be involved in the affairs here, even if it meant severing ties with the Situ family in the future.

But how could it be that easy?

Water droplets had already fallen on them, their bodies had begun to melt, and their vitality was rapidly fading away. Even if they escaped from here at this moment, they could not escape the fate of death!

As the screams became less and less frequent, more and more dirty blood fell from the air, and the living people gradually lost their breath.

Soon, all the water droplets disappeared, and the sky became clear again. There were even a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, as if the brutal battle just now had never happened.

But the scene on the ground formed a sharp contrast with the tranquility of the sky.

The air was filled with a disgusting stench and dirty blood everywhere. After the blood dripped onto the ground, it gathered together along the terrain and formed a small blood lake in the center of the courtyard.

There was a strange dark green foam on the surface of the blood lake, which looked shocking.

No one could believe that the people who were full of energy and shouting for war and killing just now had now all turned into this disgusting lake of blood on the ground?

Those who were hiding far away and watching the battle felt cold all over at this moment. They only felt an inexplicable fear, like a surging wave, hitting their hearts again and again!

The boundless fear, like the icy sea water, completely swallowed them up, making it difficult for them to even breathe.

“Are they all…dead?!”

A sexy young woman in a palace dress clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, her nails almost digging into her flesh. Her voice was trembling with an undisguised tremor, and her eyes were full of fear.

"The Situ family is completely finished, even the clan leader Situ Xiong is dead!!!"

A pale-faced boy, his lips trembling, his face paler than white paper, subconsciously took a step back, as if afraid that the strange water droplets would float onto him with the wind.

"Team wiped out!"

Those two words hit the heart of Yunhe Tower Master like a heavy hammer. He froze in place, his pupils dilated, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit a fist.

He had originally reasoned in his mind that even if the Situ family suffered a crushing defeat, at least a few senior executives would be left behind to hold the fort, but the scene before him slapped him in the face.

The people sent by the Situ family were lying on the ground in a mess, without even a sign of struggle, and were completely dead.

He rubbed his eyes so hard that his knuckles turned white. He checked again and again several times before he dared to believe that he was not mistaken.

"He just used alcohol as a means of attack? Is that true?!"

The voice of the Yunhe Tower Master was trembling, and the scene just now kept replaying in his mind.

Just now, Ye Chen held the wine glass and carelessly poured out the remaining wine, his movements as casual as if he was watering flowers.

But in just this simple moment, the wine turned into dense water droplets in the air, each of which carried a sharp murderous intent, falling like a rainstorm. The people of the Situ family didn't even have a chance to dodge and fell to the ground in an instant.

"One encounter... and the entire army was annihilated..."

The owner of Yunhe Tower muttered to himself, cold sweat oozing from his back.

He had seen countless masters fight each other, but he had never seen anyone use such an extremely simple method as "sprinkling wine" to destroy the elite of the most powerful force in Zhongzhou.

This was beyond his understanding of "strength" and was more like an incredible dream.

The crowd of spectators hiding in the distance fell into deathly silence at first, and then erupted into a deafening uproar when they saw all the members of the Situ family fall to the ground!

"Wow—"

The sound spread like a tide. Some people couldn't help but squeeze forward to see more clearly, while others pinched their arms hard to make sure they were not dreaming.

"It's gone! The Situ family is collapsing just like that?!"

A monk in a green robe spoke in a trembling voice, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

When he saw people from the Situ family before, he didn't even dare to look up at them, but now, this behemoth that was above everyone else was actually destroyed.

“There may still be some clansmen in the family, but what’s the use?”

Another businessman shook his head and sighed, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Other families and sects will definitely not miss this opportunity. Within three days, the Situ family's resources will be completely divided up!"

The chatter in the crowd grew louder and louder, and everyone felt dizzy.

Although this matter has nothing to do with them directly, the shock of witnessing the fall of a giant of the era is enough to make them remember it for a lifetime.

What made them even more excited was that they knew that from this moment on, the situation in Zhongzhou would change completely, and the power and resources once monopolized by the Situ family would be reshuffled.

And those who had been oppressed by the Situ family already had tears in their eyes at this moment.

An old man with a wrinkled face looked at the bodies of the Situ family members, suddenly knelt on the ground, and burst into tears: "Good death! You are finally dead! My son's revenge has finally been avenged today!"

A woman next to her was trembling with excitement. Three years ago, her husband was beaten to death by the Situ family because he refused to hand over the shop. Today, seeing her enemy defeated, she was finally able to put down the huge stone that was weighing on her heart.

"That young man is really doing a disservice to the people!"

"The rest of the Situ family deserve to die!"

"No need to worry about the Situ family's revenge anymore!"

Excited shouts rang out one after another, some people even raised their weapons and cheered, and the air was filled with the joy of finally being released after years of suppression.

Just as the crowd was immersed in shock and joy, a few thoughtful people gradually calmed down, the smiles on their faces slowly disappeared, and were replaced by doubts.

A white-haired old man frowned and whispered to the people around him: "No, the ancestor of the Situ family has not appeared yet."

His voice was not loud, but it instantly quieted the people around him.

"Yes! Where is the ancestor?"

Someone immediately reacted, "The ancestor of the Situ family is an old monster, his strength is unfathomable, and he is the pillar of the Situ family."

"If he was in the family, he would definitely be able to sense the movement here. With his protective nature, he should have rushed out long ago. How come there is still no news?"

"Isn't he in the family? Or..."

Some people didn't dare to think further, and there was a hint of worry in their eyes.

This question spread like a stone dropped into water, quickly spreading through the crowd. The originally boiling atmosphere instantly cooled, and the previous joy was replaced by a hint of unease.

Although the elite members of the Situ family were killed, as long as the ancestor is still there, they are not completely destroyed.

If this old monster comes back for revenge, the entire Zhongzhou may fall into chaos.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned towards the Situ family, wondering where this mysterious ancestor had gone.

Could he be somewhere, watching everything in front of him?

The people who were cursing the Situ family loudly just now, as soon as they thought of the three words "Ancestor Situ", it was as if they were poured with a basin of ice water, and their hot blood cooled down.

Someone subconsciously covered his mouth, and the loudest shouting just now stopped abruptly.

Someone quietly took two steps back and looked around in panic, as if Patriarch Situ would jump out from the darkness in the next second.

"It's over. I scolded you too harshly just now..."

A tall and thin monk had a pale face and was unconsciously twisting the corners of his clothes with his fingers.

He knew too well how terrifying Patriarch Situ was.

That was an old monster with unfathomable strength. Not to mention ordinary cultivators like them, even the elders of a large sect were no match for the ancestor.

"If they want to kill us, it's really just a matter of one finger. How many lives do we have to pay for it?"

This fear hung over the crowd like a dark cloud, but it didn't last long before someone reacted first and slapped their thighs: "What are you afraid of! Even if the ancestor wanted to seek revenge, he would go after that young man first!"

His voice grew louder and louder, attracting the attention of those around him. "We only cursed at him a few times, but that young man killed everyone in his Situ family! If there's any retribution, it won't be our turn!"

"Yup!"

This sentence was like a reassurance, calming everyone down instantly.

Someone else echoed, "That's right, we're just here to watch the fun. The real enemy is that young man. No matter how crazy the ancestor is, he won't bother us little bastards!"

The originally panicked crowd gradually regained order. Everyone talked to each other, fear was slowly replaced by rationality, and attention was put back on the whereabouts of Patriarch Situ.

"Seriously, where did that Patriarch Situ go?"

An old man with a goatee frowned, tapping the ground lightly with his cane. "Such a serious incident—the entire family's elite members were wiped out. Any other family patriarch would have rushed out with a knife in hand. How could he remain so secretive?"

This sentence expressed everyone's doubts, and the crowd immediately exploded, with all kinds of speculations emerging one after another.

"Could it be that he knew the enemy was too strong and he couldn't defeat them, so he hid in advance?"

A burly man in shorts touched his chin with a teasing tone.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around couldn't help laughing.
