Chapter 1689 - 1688: Swearing an Oath to Heaven

With Tang Rao's words, Bei Lin felt much more at ease.

She was worried that if she didn't do well, it would cause a series of unnecessary troubles for Tang Rao.

A group of Gu-controlled people initially felt their bodies were out of control, but soon they found that kind of uncontrollable feeling disappeared, and their self-judgment ability was gradually recovering.

"Attack them! These people all deserve to die. Don't let any of them go!"

The anger in the Second Son of Yan Family had risen to a certain degree. If he kept bottling it up, there was a fear he might explode from the inside.

Logically, as long as the Second Son of Yan Family issued the order, these people should spring into action, but things didn't develop according to her expectations.

"Attack! What are you waiting for, do you want to die?"

Issuing the command again, the result was the same as before; still no action from these people.

The Second Son of Yan Family didn't doubt his ability; instead, the group of people controlled earlier was looking at him as if he was an idiot, unaware of what act he was performing.

"Hey, the extras you summoned clearly aren't up to the mark. Maybe discuss privately how they should act so that we might be more convinced."

Do you think Tang Rao's ridicule ends here? Not at all.

Tang Rao ridiculed the Second Son of Yan Family further and continued looking at the Gu-controlled people, saying: "You're awake now, aware that you've been controlled by a Gu Worm, right? Yes, the one harming and controlling you is him. We should seek revenge for our grievances without holding back."

The victims never doubted that they were under the control of a Gu. They knew their own bodies, but what happened after being controlled, they couldn't remember anything.

Such strange occurrences, they only reacted to it now.

"Was it you? We attended your grandfather's birthday banquet to show him respect, and you, a junior, pulled such despicable actions. Today, I will represent your grandfather and give you a proper lesson."

No matter how strong one's abilities are, once controlled by the Poisonous Insect Poison, they'll lose self-control. The first senior to speak lost his self-control and became incredibly agitated, soon making a decision.

He intended to teach the Second Son of Yan Family a lesson, letting him understand the consequences of disrespecting a senior.

"Impossible! The Poisonous Insect Poison on you can't disappear so easily. You tricked me, didn't you? You are Tang Rao, then Bei Lin must be here too. No one else but that vile woman could destroy my Poisonous Insect Technique."

It was only then the Second Son of Yan Family realized the anomalies involved.

"Destroy your Poisonous Insect Technique? Even without Bei Lin, it can be done. What do you think you are? Consider how you hurt so many people who now want revenge. Focus on how you'll survive instead of staring at me with those dead eyes. Staring at me won't help you a bit."

Tang Rao ridiculed the Second Son of Yan Family again, indirectly inciting the crowd.

The Second Son of Yan Family indeed committed murders unlawfully, and he disrespected seniors by using despicable methods, almost bringing shame to the Yan Family.

"Exactly, such a person using these underhanded methods deserves to die. Old Master, if we kill your grandson, you won't blame us, will you?"

The elder was not questioning but forcing the Old Master to provide an answer.

"It doesn't matter whether the Old Master has objections; the vital question is whether you want to survive. I almost forgot to tell you, the Poisonous Insect Poison in your bodies is fused with his Lifebound Poisonous Insect. If the Second Son of Yan Family doesn't die, the Poisonous Insect Poison in you will remain forever. Only if he dies will the Poisonous Insect Poison disappear, and if it isn't detoxified, it'll be too hard for him not to kill you all."

Tang Rao's words essentially cut off all paths the Yan Family could take to save the Second Son of Yan Family.

If the Second Son of Yan Family doesn't die, those poisoned will perish, but only his death ensures their survival.

"Does he really have to die for them to survive?"

Unexpectedly, the one speaking was not the Old Master Yan, but Yan Xiong.

Someone who couldn't even protect his own life still wanted to protect his second son. Was his second son not embarrassing enough for him?

"You could verify by asking your noble son if he dares to swear before the Heavenly Dao, saying that besides his death, there's another way to detoxify the poison in you."

Swearing before the Heavenly Dao?

No matter how strong one's abilities are, they all respect the Heavenly Dao. No matter how powerful they are, they'll never surpass the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is impartial, never biased toward anyone.

If he dares to swear, they might believe him, considering it once for the Yan Family's sake. Letting him off, but if he doesn't swear before the Heavenly Dao, then sorry, what is the Yan Family anyway, a mere foreign family? Far less important than their own lives.

At worst, the grandson is killed, and families feud.

The Old Master Yan surely won't feud with so many families, as their own family's strength isn't formidable enough to defy the heavens.

"Second Son of Yan Family, do you dare to swear before the Heavenly Dao?"

"Yeah, do you dare swear before the Heavenly Dao?"

The questioning voices rose one after another, but the questioned person remained silent.

He was pondering where he went wrong when manipulating the Gu Worms, while also considering how to turn the page on this without swearing.

"It seems this young man is telling the truth then. Not daring to swear means fearing punishment from the Heavenly Dao, worried about being struck by lightning and losing one's life accidentally."

"Such a person has no right to continue living. Kill him now so we can go on living."

The Second Son of Yan Family was at the peak of the Supreme God stage, Tang Rao had confirmed this long ago, but there could always be unexpected circumstances.

Perhaps this was fate; the Second Son of Yan Family expended too much Immortal Energy and focused entirely on his most trusted Gu Worms, causing his strength to drop directly from the peak of the Supreme God stage to the mid-Supreme God stage.

In the process, he fell an entire level of the Great Perfection.

The people poisoned by the Second Son of Yan Family included those at the mid-Supreme God stage, the peak of the Supreme God stage, and even those whose strength Tang Rao couldn't discern.

Once they started the fight, the Second Son of Yan Family was entirely outmatched; in no time, he was already lying on the ground, left with no time to even scream.

The difference between the strong and weak, Tang Rao could finally discern.

When Tang Rao, at the mid-Supreme God stage peak, faced Yan Lin at the mid-Supreme God stage, due to Yan Lin being controlled by a Gu, he wasn't easy to deal with at all.
