After the scholar had finished speaking, a deep silence had fallen over the entire Huaxia Imperial Ship.
"If it were just a seven-day curse pollution, there might be a way to save them, but for a whole month, it is beyond redemption," Lin Qian's voice also rose at this ti, his complexion ugly, "There's no way, we can only kill them all before they are polluted, and destroy the cities, not sparing a single person."
"If the curse within their bodies were to manifest and they were to leave the Yun family territory, spreading the curse throughout the Soul Martial Continent, then it would be over."
At this point, Lin Qian paused, then looked towards his maternal grandfather Yun Fan, "Grandfather, you must also know who did this, right?"
"Yun Hu!" When Lin Qian asked, Yun Fan roared, fists clenched tightly, "And, to speak of it, I am also an accomplice!"
Yun Rong's expression changed as well, as she looked at her husband, "How could this be..."
"These territories were all conquered by grandfather initially; he had once modified the arrays and secretly incorporated a cursed array. Speaking of it, grandfather was the overseer, ensuring the success of these arrays." After sighing, Lin Qian spoke gravely, "However, grandfather was unaware of the curses hidden within these arrays, which are too bizarre."
"Even after the array virus had eroded, it couldn't be stopped, and its activation was utterly silent."
"The only thing I don't understand now is why this curse was activated a month ago? Grandfather, do you have any clue?"
Faced with his grandchild's question, Yun Fan could only helplessly shake his head, indicating he knew nothing.
"Initially, Yun Hu had wanted to transform all the arrays in the territory into a different form, and he ntioned that others were not reliable, only trusting to handle it. Who could have imagined such an outco?" Yun Fan gritted his teeth, his tone full of regret, "If only I could have recognized the curse runes back then."
The curse runes, incredibly obscure and difficult to understand, would have gone unnoticed if not for the Heavenly Art Departnt.
Moreover, the commanding Yun Hu also seed very confident, believing that no one would recognize the cursed array. Thus, the Array Masters who had modified the arrays were still alive.
Swift Wind and Night Shadow, or rather through these Array Masters, had investigated these results.
When Lin Qian received this piece of information from Zhuge Ming, and after viewing the records, he was sowhat confused.
An alien world version of a biochemical crisis?
While shocked, Lin Qian's eyes also displayed an unusual anger, wondering what ordinary people did wrong to deserve such involvent.
Especially knowing that those who were polluted were beyond dical help, Lin Qian also felt a sense of powerless anger.
Imrsed in his past life experiences, Lin Qian deeply knew that sothing like a biochemical crisis, if it spread, could spread alarmingly fast.
And this kind of curse pollution, according to research from the Heavenly Art Departnt and dical Departnt, even the powerhouses in the Entering Saint Realm might not be spared.
This sort of thing had already surpassed what the Soul Martial Continent should possess.
"Again surpassing what the Soul Martial Continent should achieve, now it seems, the Yun family really is fraught with mysteries."
"Qianer, is there really no way?" Just then, Yun Fan's sowhat feeble voice rose, asking Lin Qian.
Lin Qian could clearly see the self-reproach in his grandfather's eyes, but how could he bla his grandfather for this situation?
"There's no other way now, we must annihilate them all." As he said this, Lin Qian's gaze towards the distant horizon also revealed a trace of sorrow. "I believe they wouldn't want to beco what they are now."
Seeing the sorrow in Lin Qian's eyes, Yun Qingfeng stepped forward and patted his nephew's shoulder. "Issuing such an order must be very painful, right?"
The Yun family's territory spanned one hundred and ninety regions, vast and populous.
Yet, Lin Qian had no choice but to order the indiscriminate slaughter of these countless people, sparing none. Furthermore, there was no way to save the opponents.
After all, his nephew was still very young, and the weight of such a responsibility must have been too burdenso.
"If we don't do this, the entire Soul Martial Continent might suffer. These one hundred and ninety innocent regions have suffered enough. To prevent other innocents from encountering such disasters, this is the most appropriate course of action." After a mont's reflection, Lin Qian answered firmly, "In the future, the entire Soul Martial Continent will be the territory of the Huaxia Empire. I have no wish to rule over a chaotic continent."
"Hahaha, it seems I have a nephew with boundless ambition," said Yun Qingfeng, patting Lin Qian's shoulder. "Don't feel burdened. If this is a great sin, your uncle will bear it with you. Since we know the culprits, it's sufficient to avenge these innocents and comfort them."
Hearing his uncle's words, Lin Qian responded solemnly, "I will!"
The push and slaughter continued, and the unmatched strength of the Huaxia Empire's army was sothing the people of the Yun family could not resist.
"Why must you eradicate us completely?" In a city within the Yun family's territory, a blood-soaked Yun family mber scread incomprehensibly at the towering female warrior in front of him.
"Ah? Don't understand?" The female warrior, seeing this, showed a sympathetic expression and tossed a helt-mounted lens to him, "Look through this lens carefully. Don't bla for not letting you die comprehending."
The Yun family mber looked at the lens in his hand, slowly placing it in front of his eyes, and his pupils suddenly constricted.
Through the lens, he could clearly see the thick black smoke emanating from the bodies of the slaughtered people around him, swirling around their bodies and forming malevolent ghost heads.
"Ah!" The Yun family mber scread in terror, and his hand loosened, letting the lens fall to the ground.
At that mont, a slender hand caught the lens steadily while a sharp sword also pierced the heart of the Yun family mber.
The female warrior lifted her combat boot, kicked the man from the Yun family away, and reattached the lens to her helt.
"Ah..." Taking one last look at the lifeless body, the female warrior flicked the blood off her sword, shook her head, and walked away.
This scene was repeated everywhere—the Imperial Army and the War Beast Army of the Huaxia Empire, like unfeeling gods of death, eradicated any living being they encountered in the Yun family's territory.
The lenses they wore clearly displayed the curse that had infected their opponents.
From beginning to end, everyone who entered their field of vision was cursed, and none had been cursed for less than seven days.
It was as if everyone had been cursed one month prior simultaneously.
And one month ago, within the territory controlled by the Yun family, all arrays had been activated. Lin Qian saw this as the origin of the catastrophe.
