32: Lu Yuan: Anyone Connected to the Xiao Family—Die!
The atmosphere inside the command tent was tense.
The elders sat silently on either side, their gazes fixed on Lu Yuan with unspoken questions.
News of the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect’s retreat had spread like wildfire.
Though the sect had mobilized a million-strong army to annihilate the Cloud Sword Holy Land, the Righteous Alliance’s reinforcements had arrived too quickly.
Pushing forward would have only resulted in heavier losses.
Retreat was the wisest choice.
But for the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect, this meant a blow to their prestige.
If they couldn’t reclaim their dignity, Lu Yuan’s status—and the sect’s influence—would suffer.
“At your command!”
A burly man clad in black armor strode into the tent and knelt respectfully.
“Take a squad and bring me every last member of the Xiao Family from Tianfeng City.”
“Anyone connected to Xiao Yun’er or the Xiao Family—men, women, children, elderly—none are to be spared.”
“Remember, treat them well on the journey. I want them alive.”
Lu Yuan’s lips curled into a cold smirk.
If the enemy wanted to play the reinforcement game, he’d play along.
And the Xiao Family was just one of his many cards.
“Young Master, may I ask… why?”
The guard hesitated, confusion written across his face.
Was this some twisted act of reconciliation?
Were they escorting the Xiao Family to the Cloud Sword Holy Land?
But Xiao Yun’er was nowhere to be seen.
“When the Young Master gives an order, you obey. No questions!”
Third Elder Li Xueren’s voice was sharp, his expression dark.
Though he didn’t understand Lu Yuan’s plan either, it wasn’t a guard’s place to question.
The Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect’s Four Great Legions followed orders—no exceptions.
Still, Li Xueren had been wounded in an ambush by Yun Conglong, and his temper was already frayed.
This guard had chosen the worst possible moment to speak up.
“Understood!”
The guard paled and quickly retreated.
“Third Elder, no need for such anger.”
Lu Yuan chuckled. “You fought valiantly on the battlefield, single-handedly crushing three of the Cloud Sword Holy Land’s elders. Your prowess is unmatched.”
“The Righteous Alliance’s reinforcements arrived faster than expected.”
“But since they want to protect the Cloud Sword Holy Land so badly, let them. The Xiao Family is in our hands now.”
A glint of understanding flashed in the elders’ eyes.
They could smell bl00d in Lu Yuan’s words.
“Young Master, what exactly do you plan to do?”
Li Xueren’s expression softened slightly, but he needed clarity.
If Lu Yuan truly intended to deliver the Xiao Family to the Cloud Sword Holy Land, the sect’s reputation would be ruined.
He could only pray the Young Master wasn’t still blinded by foolish devotion.
“Simple.”
Lu Yuan tapped the table lightly. “Xiao Yun’er clings to Tang Yun and seeks refuge with the Cloud Sword Holy Land, thinking they can shield her.”
“But she forgets—the entire Xiao Family is under our control. What can the Cloud Sword Holy Land possibly protect?”
“This mountain, the Desolate Sword Ridge, will make a fine burial ground for the Xiao Family.”
His voice was icy, his gaze ruthless.
With the Righteous Alliance backing the Cloud Sword Holy Land, a direct assault would be costly without the Demon Emperor’s intervention.
But if frontal combat wasn’t an option—
Lu Yuan had other methods.
You want to protect the Xiao Family?
Then watch as I slaughter them.
Let’s see how the Cloud Sword Holy Land responds when their so-called “protection” is put to the test.
Another massacre meant nothing to him.
“Hahaha! Brilliant! Yun Conglong will be frothing at the mouth!”
“The Young Master’s strategy is impeccable!”
“Since the Young Master has decided, let’s fan the flames. Spread the news far and wide!”
The five elders roared with approval.
Not only would this humiliate the Cloud Sword Holy Land, but it would also restore the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect’s lost face.
“It’ll take a day to retrieve them.”
“Execute them at noon the day after.”
“Until then, do as the elders say—make sure everyone knows.”
Lu Yuan’s smile was venomous.
If Xiao Yun’er wanted to hide in the Cloud Sword Holy Land, he’d drag her out.
By executing the Xiao Family at their very gates—
He’d slap the Cloud Sword Holy Land in the most brutal way possible.

The Ripples of the Plan
As the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect set their scheme into motion, word of the Xiao Family’s impending execution spread like wildfire.
Spectators who had begun dispersing now rushed back, eager to witness the spectacle.
“Lu Yuan is cunning—forcing Xiao Yun’er’s hand like this.”
“This just got far more complicated.”
“Hah! The Cloud Sword Holy Land can shelter Xiao Yun’er, but not her family!”
Discussions buzzed through the crowd.
The Cloud Sword Holy Land had only survived thanks to the Righteous Alliance’s intervention.
Yet even with that backing, they wouldn’t dare act recklessly now.
Lu Yuan was using the Xiao Family’s lives as bait.
If Xiao Yun’er don’t show up—
She’d be branded the murderer of her own kin in front of the entire cultivation world.
A flawless stratagem.
Now, the question remained—how would the Cloud Sword Holy Land respond?
With so many factions watching, the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect wouldn’t back down.
And as for Lu Yuan’s drastic change in demeanor?
The crowd was baffled.
The once-infatuated fool now wielded cruelty with precision.
“Is there any confirmation from Tianfeng City?”
Some still doubted the news.
They couldn’t reconcile the old Lu Yuan with this ruthless schemer.
“It’s real. The Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect announced it themselves.”
“You think they’d lie about this?”
“I heard their troops were already spotted heading for Tianfeng City!”
Rumors spread like wildfire.
And soon—
The news reached the Cloud Sword Holy Land.
