Chapter 246 Genocide
Seeing that the battle had ended, Li Qingyun stepped across the threshold and stood in front of Sun Ren's lifeless body, his eyes filled with extraordinary complexity.
Sun Ren may not be considered a powerful figure, but in Ding'an County, he was undoubtedly the most powerful man. Yet, at this very moment, this most powerful man in Ding'an County was dying right before his eyes.
This gave Li Qingyun an extremely unreal feeling, and also made him deeply realize Chen Dao's strength. The Yuan family had sent a total of eight seventh-rank martial artists, and apart from Sun Ren, the other seven were all killed by Chen Dao and his adorable pet...
At this moment, Li Qingyun finally understood why Xu Zhiwen respected Chen Dao so much.
Chen Dao didn't have as many thoughts as Li Qingyun. He gestured for Chen Cheng and Zhang He to clean up the corpses on the ground, and then said to Xu Zhiwen, "Magistrate Xu, it's time for us to head to the Sun family!"
Most of the Sun family's forces have perished here, leaving very few remaining members. It's time to reap the rewards.
"Alright!"
Xu Zhiwen nodded and said to Li Qingyun, "Brother Li, please wait at home for a moment. My friend Chen and I will be right back!"
After saying that, Xu Zhiwen took off and ran wildly towards the Sun family's direction with Chen Dao.

"what happened?"
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Dao, standing outside the Sun family's gate, stared at the wide-open gate with a puzzled expression.
Xu Zhiwen also frowned. At this moment, the Sun family's doors were wide open and flames were raging inside. However, strangely enough, there was no sound from inside!
"Go in and take a look!"
The two exchanged a glance and cautiously made their way through the gate of the Sun family compound, entering the interior.
"This……"
As soon as Xu Zhiwen stepped through the gate, he was shocked to see several lifeless corpses lying on the ground behind the gate. The blood flowing from the corpses almost stained the area red!
"It seems someone else broke into the Sun family's residence before us!"
As Chen Dao made his guesses, he quickened his pace and walked forward. He found that the situation inside the Sun family was indeed similar to what he had guessed. The huge Sun family compound was full of corpses, and there was not a single living person in sight!
Looking at the corpses lying all over the ground, even Chen Dao couldn't help but feel horrified. The entire Sun family, men, women, and children, had been wiped out by the intruders.
"Who did this?"
Xu Zhiwen asked subconsciously, "The Sun family's martial artists are not only those that Sun Ren took out. There must have been many more martial artists left behind to protect the family's safety. However... they were all killed."
The thief who broke into the Sun family's house was probably extremely powerful!
"It could be the White Lotus Sect!"
For some reason, Chen Dao suddenly thought of the group of White Lotus Sect members he had encountered a couple of days ago. With the strength of the Sun family, even if Sun Ren took away many martial artists, there was almost no force in Ding'an County that could shake him. The only force that could possibly break into the Sun family and kill all the members of the Sun family was an outside force!
In this situation, the White Lotus Sect members who suddenly appeared in Ding'an County naturally became the prime suspects.
"The White Lotus Sect..."
Xu Zhiwen also realized this, and his heart suddenly felt heavy. The White Lotus Sect was not a peace-loving sect. They suddenly appeared in Ding'an County and even went so far as to exterminate the Sun family...
This is probably not a good thing!
"Let's go check out the Sun family's warehouse!"
Chen Dao shifted his gaze from the corpses on the ground and began searching for the Sun family's warehouse.
Soon after, Chen Dao and Xu Zhiwen stood in front of the broken warehouse door, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Good news, the Sun family's warehouse has been found.
Bad news: the warehouse had already been entered by someone else.
Yes, what came into their view was a warehouse that had already been ransacked; the interior was extremely messy, and...
There were no valuable items to be seen.
"These thieves must be after the Sun family's valuables!"
Xu Zhiwen said that when he saw the warehouse had been ransacked, he immediately realized that the White Lotus Sect thieves must have come for the Sun family's wealth. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been no gold or silver left in the warehouse, only some worthless items.
Chen Dao didn't say anything, but went into the warehouse and started searching. After searching for a while, Chen Dao found a pile of fruit scattered on the ground in a corner of the warehouse.
"Fire-patterned Fruit!"
Chen Dao's eyes lit up. Although he had never seen the Fire Pattern Fruit before, he immediately recognized that this pile of fruits was the Fire Pattern Fruit he had been longing for. This was because the fruit was exactly the same as the one Sun Ren had taken out before. The peel was slightly red, and there were flame-like patterns spreading on the peel, making it look extremely mysterious.
Congratulations, young friend!
Xu Zhiwen laughed and said, "Fortunately, the White Lotus Sect thieves don't value the Fire Pattern Fruit, otherwise we might have made a wasted trip."
Chen Dao nodded, feeling extremely fortunate. If the White Lotus Sect thieves had taken the Fire Pattern Fruit ahead of time, Chen Dao would have had nowhere to cry, since the Sun family was the only place he could find the Fire Pattern Fruit!
Chen Dao found a piece of cloth in the Sun family's warehouse, wrapped all the Fire Pattern Fruits in it, and then left the warehouse with Xu Zhiwen. They picked some leaves and branches from the towering Fire Pattern Tree.
After doing all this, Chen Dao and Xu Zhiwen planned to leave.
As for the remaining supplies in the Sun family warehouse...
There were too many of these things; even the well-prepared White Lotus Sect thieves couldn't take them all, let alone Chen Dao and Xu Zhiwen. They could only leave them in the Sun family warehouse for the time being, until Li Qingyun sent people to move them away later.
Not long after, Chen Dao and Xu Zhiwen left, leaving only corpses scattered all over the vast Sun family estate and the howling wind, which sounded like the mournful cries of ghosts.

"The Sun family was wiped out?"
"How could this be? The Sun family was the largest family in Taiping County, how could they all be wiped out?"
"This is terrifying! The entire Sun family was wiped out, not a single person was left alive!"
"..."
The next day.
As the sun rose, a large number of people gathered in front of the Sun family's gate. They were all shocked to see the brick road stained red!
The Sun family, the most powerful family in the entire Taiping County, was wiped out overnight. What an astonishing thing this is!
Of course, besides being shocked, the people were mostly happy!
"Great! Excellent! The Sun family, that beastly clan, has finally been destroyed! Hahaha!"
"Good riddance! The Sun family had committed countless evil deeds; they deserved this calamity long ago!"
"Good riddance! Wonderful death! He died screaming!"
"..."
Many people applauded and cheered. They felt no sympathy for the extermination of the Sun family; on the contrary, they were overjoyed and wished they could go home and eat more rice.
