Liang Meijia's voice quivered with fear as she yelled, "Don't come near us!"

Xia Tian stopped in his tracks, the corners of his mouth curling into a wicked grin. "So, who's first?" he snickered, gesturing towards the cluster of women quivering behind Liang.

Their eyes darted frantically, waiting for Xia Tian's next move.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by a woman stepping forward.

Her shoulders were squared, her eyes blazing with determination. "I'll go first," she said in a hoarse voice, "if it means protecting my own."

Xia Tian watched with cruel interest as his eyes glittered with sadistic amusement. "You're a brave one," he sneered, "let's see how far that gets you."

The woman grabbed her daughter's head, tightening her grip with trembling hands.

Her daughter's eyes bulged in fear, realizing too late what her mother was about to do.

"I'm sorry, my darling," the woman whispered, tears streaming down her face, "forgive me." And with that, the woman started to smother her own daughter.

The other women gasped in horror, but none of them tried to stop the woman.

They knew that Xia Tian was watching their every move, waiting for an excuse to unleash his wrath.

The woman continued to asphyxiate her daughter, her face twisted with pain as she fulfilled her heartbreaking duty.

When she was finally sure that her daughter was dead, she collapsed on the ground, shaking with sobs of grief and guilt.

Xia Tian chuckled darkly, enjoying the scene that had just transpired. "Well, that was quite entertaining," he said with a smirk, "who's next?"

Su Xia's face twisted with anger upon seeing Xia Tian's unbothered expression.

Su Li stood frozen in fear as another woman stepped forward, "Please forgive me, Madam Liang. I can no longer serve you."

The woman took advantage of the momentary chaos and ended her and her daughter lives.

Xia Tian's whistle was a chilling backdrop to the gruesome scene, as if he were watching a macabre show unfold before him.

Su Mei's anger was palpable as she spoke out against Xia Tian, "You won't get away with this, you monster! This pointless killing will not be forgotten! The Immortal Realm will ensure that you never live in peace!"

Her words inspired others to mutter similar threats towards Xia Tian.

"Yes, You will pay for your actions one day!" 

"God won't let you go unpunished!" 

"Prepare to face your karma in hell!"

"God? Karma, hahaha..."

Xia Tian's response was both unexpected and unnerving as he burst into laughter, his voice ringing throughout the hall and causing those who had stood against him to recoil in fear.

It appeared that nothing could satiate Xia Tian's thirst for blood and madness.

Soon, his eyes caught something interesting, as he watched a blue haired women, subtle movements, she was signalling something to her daughter that appeared to be 18-19 years in age. 

The girl nodded, looking in one particular direction.

Did these women really thought they can send away the main characters away, while distracting Xia Tian with baits?

The blue haired woman was Xu Ruiqi, one of wives of Su Yang, who was sending her daughter sneakily towards the back to escape and find Su Yang and leave from this hell.

This was thier plan all along, to secure the future of Su Family. 

Sending their main line children away in secret, while maids and other members sacrificed their to distract Xia Tian's attention. 

Xia Tian was quite amsued by their small quirk against him, but he can't possibly let them do as they please, he didn't cared about maids or their servant but how can he let Su Yang's daughters or wife slip away? 

Without warning, his voice boomed, "I choose this one first!"

The group of women who had been chattering amongst themselves were caught off guard by his sudden outburst.

It wasn't until he pointed at one of them that they understood the gravity of the situation, and a collective frown appeared on their faces.

"No, please take me instead of Yu'er!" Xu Ruiqi pleaded, jumping to the forefront.

Xia Tian shook his head, delivering his response with an unyielding intensity. "Your turn is next. Please wait patiently for your chance."

The callous indifference in his words caused Xu Ruiqi's face to turn white as a sheet, but before anyone else could make a move, the blue-haired girl named Su Yuting mustered up the courage to speak.

Su Yuting was the girl, that Xia Tian pointed to, and she was also daughter of Xu Ruiqi.

Su Yuting's voice trembled as she asked, "Can you let others go before me?"

Xu Ruiqi stared at her daughter with disbelief as she tried to decipher her words. "Yu'er, you?"

Without a word, the young girl gritted her teeth and shook her head in a firm refusal.

The people around them couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion and bitterness at the sight of someone so young facing such a dire situation.

Su Mei felt compelled to step forward, but Su Xia held her back with a firm shake of her head. "We need to prioritize the survival of our clan," she whispered.

"But why only Yu'er?" Su Mei protested, her frustration clear in her tone.

Su Mei couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise mixed with confusion as she watched Xia Tian choose Su Yuting, the most favoured child within the clan.

She wondered how Xia Tian was able to spot the most liked one from the crowd with such ease.

In truth, it wasn't difficult at all. The fact that the clan had chosen Su Yuting as the first to escape made it quite obvious that they regarded her survival as being of the utmost importance.

Xia Tian found himself enjoying the game even more, his lips curling into a wicked smirk as he licked them hungrily.

Su Yuting, on the other hand, tried her best to maintain eye contact with Xia Tian despite her nervousness.

Her long blue hair cascaded down her back, and her mesmerising ocean-like eyes were as captivating as ever.

She had a charming figure with curves in all the right places, and her breasts were suited for someone of her age, not too big or too small

Xia Tian finally responded with a grin, "Sure, if you can satisfy me, I would let your mother go," he added. 

"Really?" Su Yuting expression crumbled as she spoke in surprise, filled with relief. 

"Yu'er, you can't!" Xu Ruiqi said, instantly Chen Xiaoxuan butted in, "Sister Ruiqi its not time to be emotional, you can have more childs if you manage to save your life," she said her cold words. 

Xu Ruiqi instantly frowned, with a angered look she said, "Would you say the same if it was your daughters Xiao? I didn't expected this from you!" Her voice made Chen Xiaoxuan bit her lips as she turend silent. 

Xia Tian meanwhile was loving this drama!

The big grin on his face was evidence of it!

He didn't wanted it to end any soon!

With the cunning of an old sly fox, Xia Tian spoke his next words, "How about I let everyone here go if you send those two to me as well?" His finger pointed sharply towards the pair of twins.

"What?"

"Me?"

Su Yilin and Su Xiaomeng shouted at the top of their lungs.

Their voices filled with fear and bewilderment, as they tried to make sense of Xia Tian's strange request.

Su Yilin's striking blonde hair cascaded down her back in soft waves, while her phoenix-shaped eyes possessed a deep red aura. With delicate features, she had a certain ethereal beauty that made her stand out in any crowd.

On the other hand, Su Xiaomeng had gorgeous silvery-white hair that shimmered like moonlight, while her piercing blue eyes and sharp features gave her a fierce beauty that was impossible to ignore.

"So, what do you think, girls? Are you going to sacrifice yourselves to save everyone's lives?" Xia Tian said menacingly.

Unknown to others, he had already begun his twisted game of despair, breaking their unity, and crumbling them into pieces, as he enjoyed every second of it...

People often say that family is the last thing one can trust, especially in tough situations. Maybe they haven't met someone as ruthless as Xia Tian yet...

The pair of twins exchanged hesitant glances, their eyes revealing their inner turmoil. Su Xia fell silent, as the thought of handing over their lives to Xia Tian felt akin to losing an entire generation.

She knew she needed to ponder over it carefully before arriving at any conclusion.

Seizing the opportunity, Liang Meijia gently leaned in close to the twins and whispered reassuringly, "Don't worry about his words, my loves. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do," her soothing words intended to calm their fears.

She then turned to Su Yuting, her eyes flashing with a hint of warning, "You, child, listen to grandma. Stop making decisions on your own."

Su Xia frowned, considering the offer made by Xia Tian, but the disapproving glares from Liang Meijia, Su Mei, and Su Li halted her thoughts as she remained silent.

Xu Ruiqi spoke up, her resentment evident in her voice as she addressed Su Xia, "Aren't you ashamed already Aunt? How can you think of using childrens as out meat shields?

Su Xia's actions nearly resulted in her losing her only daughter.

She took a deep breath before bravely standing up to Xia Tian, declaring, "We will not hand over our daughters. You can have us instead!"

The other women who were previously uncertain were now resolute and firm in their united decision, each nodding in unison.

Xia Tian found their defiance amusing.

What made these women believe they even had a choice?

However, he was not yet ready to destroy them, instead choosing to prolong the game.

"Alright then," he spoke, his gaze sweeping across the crowd of courageous women who stood before him.

A wave of relief and cheers erupted.

But Xia Tian was not finished yet. His lips curled into a sly smirk as his eyes fixated on the remaining servants and maids, "You were all willing to sacrifice yourselves and your children to save your master. It is commendable. However, have you ever thought why you were willing to let your master's child escape instead of your own?"

The maids opened their mouths to speak, but Xia Tian cut them off with a derisive snort, "Of course it's because they were your masters, right? Don't give me that bullshit... You never had any hope for survival from the beginning, did you?" His words dripped with scorn as he looked around at the complex expressions on their faces.

Liang Meijia's eyes narrowed as she sensed that something terrible was brewing, but she knew better than to interrupt Xia Tian.

"Now you have a choice... You can choose to survive, not just yourselves but also your daughters. Are you all still willing to abandon them to save three children?... Is it worth it?" Xia Tian's voice was persuasive, and it caused many to fall silent while others pursed their lips, wrestling with their thoughts.

The silence was short-lived, as a woman standing near Liang Meijia spoke up, suggesting, "Madam, I think we should try to save as many people as possible!"

Liang Meijia was stunned, but before she could speak up, similar voices of protest erupted, all directed at her, urging her to make a more sensible decision instead of an emotional one.

Liang Meijia was taken aback, her eyes flickering nervously towards Xia Tian.

The moment she saw the sly smirk on his face, a chill ran down her spine.

She realized that this man was far more dangerous than she had ever thought possible.

It wasn't just his powers, but also his words that were equally capable of eliciting chaos.

Xia Tian's eyes gleamed with a cunning light as he finally lit the fuse among them.
