Nonetheless, shocking news continued to come in, making the situation worse!

It was all bad news. It seemed like the entire Continent had fallen into a state of chaos…

Since they had been oppressed, the Sikong Family and Duanmu Family had been faced with a dire situation in their businesses?their main source of livelihood?which was falling apart. A portion of it was monopolized by betrayers from their family, while the others were taken over by their competitors or occupied by unknown powers. Essentially, these two families did not even have a single shop or a single business left. They had completely fallen into a predicament, almost at the end of the line!

Or perhaps because they were at the end of the line, that was why the light at the end of the tunnel was more shocking! Within a short duration of a few days, the entire situation had instantly been reversed!

Each and every business that had belonged to the two families, those that were forcefully seized from them, had all suffered a destructive attack from a mysterious force! All those who dared to snatch the businesses of these two families had their heads falling on the grounds. Not a single one escaped. There was absolutely no room for mercy!

Before the incident, the main people of Sikong and Duanmu families had solid alibis that they had absolutely nothing to do with this shocking accident. Even if the rest of the people from the families wished to do it, they weren?t capable of it. Although these two families were the prime suspects, but it had ended up as an unresolved case. Some people could even tell with one look that with the remaining meek strength of the two families currently, even if they had the intentions, they definitely did not have the capabilities, so the real culprit was really worth thinking over…

Amongst all those who were destroyed, all their corpses were hung up and exposed to the public, the betrayers of the two families being left in the most miserable states. Although there was no reason provided, a scene of bloody carnage like this was essentially silently made clear to everyone else…

And all the businesses who had called off a partnership with these two big families were all exterminated! In ten short days, this sort of unresolved case continuously appeared all over the continent! Every single place was brimming with bloody rain and foul wind, every single case was a debt of blood, an appalling scene of devastation!

The ruthlessness and decisiveness of the culprit in the incident this time was unheard of!

They only killed. They never mentioned any reason or their aim! Large amounts of fortune, gold, silver, and valuables that piled up like a mountain were all left abandoned. As if to make clear a philosophy:

I like to kill people, so I?ll kill people! I do whatever I want to do! There is no reason, don?t ask me for a reason… As to the purpose and objective… Do you best to figure it out with your greatest imagination… Think however you like…

But all these people who died had one thing in common. They were all those who had opposed, set-up, or participated in conspiracies against the Sikong and Duanmu families! Although the killers did not say anything, but the dead had automatically revealed the truth!

And thus, while the Sikong Family and Duanmu Family were still kept in the dark, they suddenly realized that ways of the world seemed to changed again…

A few months prior, they went from one of the super families to a poor household overnight, living past each day with great difficulty. There was no reason or cause; all their customers and partners had suddenly cut off all relations with them and even suppressed them in every possible way.

Now, after a few months, the entire situation had changed! This time, there was also no reason or cause; it was just as unfathomable, or perhaps, even more unimaginable. All these partners and even strangers came running to them overnight!

First, they offered hefty gifts to express their apology, then made the request to collaborate again… And all of them were extremely respectful and polite, even more respectful when they were working well together. All those terms for partnership simply shoved money to them! How could it still be called business!

All of them had a clear viewpoint:

the three Holy Lands is not someone we can offend, but they will not simply exterminate and kill people! But this bunch of culprits this time would kill the moment there is any disagreement! Which is scarier?

Everyone was extremely careful about not offending anyone from these two families. Some wealthy and influential businessmen were extremely careful in being polite in their manners, even greeting the guards at the door of these two families!

They were fearful that they may accidentally offend them if they weren?t respectful enough, as if a calamity would befall them instantly the moment they do.

After all that suffering and grievances, with nowhere to turn for help even if they were willing to humble themselves, such an unusual situation had left these two families feeling extremely relieved!

Humans would never learn how to treasure things if they never experienced losing them! If they never tasted poverty, they?d never know how not easy it was to be wealthy! If they never experienced being treated with indifference, they?d never know how rare and difficult it was to be treated with respect!

And all this, gaining after losing, then regaining it… That sort of feeling was more thought provoking than someone who had lived their life again! And triggered a huge change in their attitudes!

That was the case for these two families!

After this incident, these two families were like phoenixes reborn from ashes!

Because of this incident, all the despicable vermin in the family had been eradicated, making it more clean! And they were even more bonded! As if in these short few months of adversity, they gained endless foundations!

And a foundation like this was simply the poverty after wealth!

The greatest wealth in life was to experience poverty with those who are less fortunate! Only with that experience could it release the greatest motivation in people! Or perhaps to say… Poverty was the greatest wealth!

A person or a family experiencing poverty was not scary! Even if it experienced generations of being poor, it was also not scary because they?re already used to being poor, used to being down and out. But the real tragedy and misery was falling into poverty when you were at the peak of your life, after having wealth and power!

And these two families knew better than anyone else to treasure things precisely because they had experienced such adversity, standing back up with great determination, back to owning wealth and power… so after this, Sikong Family and Duanmu Family became the most well-knit families of the entire continent, and the two big families that made the fastest developments, becoming super families that stood at the peak of the Xuan Xuan Continent!

If thousands of years later, the Duanmu Family, Sikong Family and Dongfang Family were to thoroughly rise, each occupying one direction, they?d each be a huge threat!

Duanmu in the North, Sikong in the South, Dongfang in the East, shall never fall!

The sudden changes of this entire incident had brought about the rise of three giant families in less than a year!… Of course, this would be for a later time…

In this incident, there were people who were accomplished, but conversely, there were also people who were unlucky. And they were the people who took over the businesses of the Jun Family after they had retreated. The Jun Family had temporarily retreated into hiding due to circumstances, but they had no intentions of giving up on their enterprises. The businesses that belonged to the Jun Family would forever belong to the Jun Family. After their retreat, those who were in charge of managing the business were iron-pillars of the Jun Family.

But a portion of people firmly believed that the Jun Family had no chance of making a comeback, practically snatching and swallowing up all the businesses that belonged to the Jun Family overnight! In this uproar, these people were also mercilessly wiped out. And they were the most thoroughly wiped out!

The Huang Family in Tian Xiang for example. A third-rate family that belonged to Huang Tai Yang of the Illusory Blood Sea. Enemies of Jun Family and Dugu Family. When the Jun Family retreated, they outrageously took over the Jun Family?s businesses, proudly claiming credit for their acts. They had seemed to have a boundless future for a period of time. But in this unforeseen event, they were thoroughly wiped out. The entire family was exterminated, and even the place of the family was razed to the ground…

And those who took over Blizzard Silver City?s Magnificent Jewel Hall were also all killed!

A single month! In just a mere one month!

The entire Xuan Xuan Continent had entered an unprecedented state of bloodshed, and everyone feared for their safety!

The Yu Tang Kingdom had saw the opportunity of conquering Tian Xiang after the Jun Family had retreated, and thus started a war. The two countries engaged in battle, but after hearing of this incident, the Yu Tang Kingdom instantly withdrew their troops! They instantly abandoned all the land they had already conquered, retreating back into Yu Tang territory at rapid speed…

They even abandoned their newly formed bases…

Within this month, excluding the kills by the Dongfang Family assassins, other kills out of revenge, and also those killed in the battle between the two nations, those who had died in this unfathomable incident alone was estimated to be not less than twenty thousand!

Twenty thousand people! This number may not seem like a lot, but these people who were sacrificed were all strong Xuan cultivators!

Amongst these people, the one with the lowest Xuan cultivation was at the peak of a Silver Xuan!

The entire world, from south to north, from east to west, underwent a huge cleansing with fresh blood!

And this bunch of killers was extremely hardworking, even forming groups, like locusts invading a territory. All those who had anything to do with the incidents mentioned above were all killed with no further discussion!

Another unique similarity was that they came and went like the wind, ruthless in their acts, killing in one hit and immediately leaving! When you investigated in the east, more cases happened simultaneously in the south, north, and west…

When faced with such a bloody incident, the three Holy Lands immediately took action to respond, deploying their affiliated families. But the moment they deployed a particular family, it revealed the relationship between this family and the three Holy Lands, so not a single person was treated unjustly…

This was the equivalent of heavily slapping across the three Holy Lands? face!

And it wasn?t just a single slap; it was slap after slap, continuously unceasingly! How many affiliated families were destroyed, and how many slaps there were!

And the most upsetting thing was… so many people had died, and there were so many mysterious killers, but no matter how they investigated, they couldn?t find a single one! Much less capture one!

This incident thoroughly enraged the people from three Holy Lands!

And just at this time, the call for help from Chrysanthemum City had arrived, coincidentally.
