The only nine elders left of the Blood Clan.

In the blink of an eye, they were all slain by Xiao Zheng.

Not even their bodies were left, only the scarlet blood flowing through the Temple, telling of the recent bloodshed!

"Didn’t you want to talk?"

"Then I’ll let you talk enough with King Yan underground!"

"Anyone else who wants to speak, step forward now!"

Xiao Zheng stood amidst a pool of blood, his gaze as sharp as a Divine Sword, piercing straight into the hearts of those remaining.

Almost instantly, everyone was trembling in fear, falling to their knees!

They no longer upheld the dignity of nobility, they cast aside their backbone, they also abandoned their pride! Everyone submitted at the feet of Xiao Zheng!

In their hearts, they revered and feared...

Yet their demeanor could not stop Xiao Zheng, who was intent on a massacre.

Xiao Zheng, exuding killing intent, walked towards them slowly.

Seeing this scene, a hint of despair flashed in everyone’s eyes. Some were so scared they wet their pants, inwardly cursing the nine elders who had just died!

If they had known this would happen, no matter what benefits were promised, they wouldn’t have come!

However, in this world, everything exists except a medicine for regret.

Xiao Zheng remained indifferent, then prepared to kill them all.

But at that moment, Hades, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Xiao Zheng, enough."

Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng first frowned slightly, then stopped in his tracks.

After all, this was still the Netherworld King Temple, and some matters had to be decided by Hades.

Seeing Xiao Zheng finally halt, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Hades then said, "This is your only chance. If you offend again, I won’t hesitate to slaughter everyone in your clan. Remember my words, now leave."

As if pardoned, everyone quickly got up and bid farewell.

Once they stepped out of the hall, they ran for their lives. Watching them, it seemed they regretted not having been born with an extra pair of legs. In a flash, they vanished without a trace.

"I think we shouldn’t have let them go."

When only the two of them remained in the hall, Xiao Zheng spoke calmly.

In his view, they should have been killed to end things once and for all.

Upon hearing this, Hades replied, "They do deserve to die, but even garbage has its uses. I need them to manage the Blood Clan for me because I don’t have much time."

After listening to her explanation, Xiao Zheng reluctantly sighed.

Though he didn’t want to admit it, he had to acknowledge the truth in Hades’s words.

If Xiao Zheng had killed those people just now, the Blood Clan would surely plunge into chaos. The Blood Clan had only recently survived a calamity, and another upheaval would have unimaginable consequences.

As for Hades, she herself was someone who didn’t care for worldly matters, naturally needing someone to assist her at this time.

"Enough, let’s not talk about those people."

"Thinking about them just annoys me."

"Let’s get to work; we’ll destroy the blood pool in the Underground Palace now. Only by destroying all the blood pools can I feel safe to go home."

Xiao Zheng said.

Hades nodded, then proceeded to activate a mechanism.

The two of them entered the passage and eventually reached the Underground Palace.

In the Underground Palace, the bodies of Noah and Lancelot still lay on the ground. They were well-practiced, so their bodies didn’t smell, appearing as if they might wake at any moment.

Seeing their corpses, Hades seemed troubled.

With a wave of her hand, the bodies of Lancelot and Noah were swiftly engulfed in a nearly white flame. In an instant, their bodies turned to ashes.

This scene left Xiao Zheng in awe.

Hades remained indifferent, saying, "Let’s begin. This blood pool is a bit different from the one in the Ancestor Cave. We must work together to destroy it."

"Understood," Xiao Zheng nodded.

He could sense that the energy within this blood pool was far greater than that of the Ancestor Cave. Moreover, five former Kings of the Blood Clan lay dormant within, warranting his utmost caution.

As Hades started the countdown, Xiao Zheng began to gather his strength in secret.

"Three!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

As the last number left Hades’s lips, the two of them struck the blood pool almost simultaneously!

Terrifying power instantly crashed onto the blood pool!

Thud!

The entire Underground Palace trembled as if an earthquake had struck, setting hearts on edge!

Unexpectedly, the blood pool before Xiao Zheng did not suffer the slightest damage, remaining perfectly intact. This caused him to frown, yet Hades seemed to expect this, signaling him with her eyes, and the two went on to strike again.

This time, they did not stop!

It’s uncertain how many times they attacked, but finally, cracks began to appear in the demon statue at the center of the blood pool!

Within the blood pool, raging waves rose!

Countless grimacing ghost faces soared with the waves, screaming wretchedly as if in great pain!

Yet both of their expressions remained unchanged, continuously attacking.

Boom!

With yet another loud blast, the demon statue finally shattered!

Then like a burst dam, the blood pool below began to fracture, and the blood within gushed towards the two of them!

Xiao Zheng noticed five unusually sinister presences lurking in the blood tide.

"Be careful, they’re awakening!"

Hades suddenly warned.

Just as her words fell, the five sinister presences Xiao Zheng sensed swiftly grew stronger. A terrifying aura swept through the entire Underground Palace, its immense pressure forcing Xiao Zheng to retreat a step.

"Now’s the moment, attack immediately!"

Hades shouted again.

Xiao Zheng’s gaze sharpened, and without hesitation, he attacked where the five presences were in the blood. Hades did the same.

Their furious attacks struck the blood, accompanied by surging blood waves and wails of agony.

Hades’s assault was especially fierce.

It seemed she was channeling all the murderous intent meant for the nine elders into this place.

The five presences never fully awoke, annihilated by the two of them. Especially Hades, who single-handedly obliterated four of them!

"From this day forth, the Ancestor Blood Pool will vanish from the world!"

Hades stared at the blood beneath her feet, a flicker of resolve in her eyes.
