Yi Potian unleashed a powerful attack on Jiang Xianhua, leaving Jiang, who had just expelled the poison from his body, defenseless and causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the little grass launched a follow-up attack. Its tentacles, which had been gathered nearby, attacked the instant Yi Potian successfully broke through Jiang Xianhua's defense, easily poisoning Jiang Xianhua once again.
Let's continue.
Jiang Xianhua's body didn't have time to form a defense, and he was instantly attacked by Xiaocao and Yi Potian multiple times. Xiaocao alone launched fifteen attacks, which seriously injured him, and his body fell straight to the ground. At this moment, he was no longer able to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth to maintain flight.
"die!"
The First Elder, Yi Potian, shouted, and a beam of cyan light, visible to the naked eye, flashed and struck Jiang Xianhua directly on the neck.
With a flash of blood, Jiang Xianhua, before he even hit the ground, was decapitated, and a master of the highest level fell.
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!" Elder Yi Potian, still hovering in the air, roared. The blood spilling from the corner of his mouth made his ferocious expression even more ruthless.
"Little Grass, are you alright?" Lin Yao asked, his first concern being for Little Grass.
"It's alright, Yaoyao." Xiaocao's tone was very smug. "With Yi Potian's help, killing a Heaven-level expert is much easier. He'll be fine after just one day of recuperation."
"That's good. Take a rest and make sure everyone is safe." Relieved, Lin Yao immediately rushed towards the Jiang family survivors in the hall. The hatred he felt for those people had not yet been fully vented and needed to be released with their blood.
In a short while, all the Jiang family survivors, despite being severely injured, were killed one by one, and the entire hall was filled with a bloody and malevolent aura.
Even the Grand Elder Yi Potian, a Heaven-level expert, disregarded his status and joined the pursuit. The Yi family annihilated the Jiang family without losing a single member, and the dozen or so Yi family members who had been severely injured by the Jiang family through life-for-life tactics were also safe thanks to Lin Yao's presence.
"Elder, phone call!" Yi An rushed to Elder Yi Potian's side, holding up his phone which was in use.
The call came personally from General Yue, the number two figure in the military. Yi Potian took it very seriously. In the sudden silence, all that could be heard was Yi Potian stating that he had ended the battle before receiving Yi Fei's call, thus bringing the matter of eliminating Jiang Xianhua to a close.
The entire revenge operation came to an end, and Lin Yao was quite satisfied with the result.
All members of the Jiang family's main residence, including the Heavenly-level expert Jiang Xianhua, were captured in one fell swoop. After hanging up the phone, Yi Potian continued to lead the Yi family members to search through the entire inner residence. Apart from some servants and family members, there were no Jiang family members above the Earthly-level early stage. It seems that the Jiang family has also concentrated all its forces to save Yi Potian the trouble of disobeying military orders.
What Yi Potian and Lin Yao didn't know was that not all the people in the Jiang family's main residence had been wiped out. Jiang Xianhua, who had a strategic vision, had already moved part of the foundation for the Jiang family's future rise to a hidden place. The hidden escape mechanism was not discovered by the Yi family members, and even Xiao Cao's investigation did not find it. After all, she could not possibly search the entire interior of the mountain.
The action teams from the five provinces all achieved excellent results. The important figures of the Jiang family in Hunan, Hubei, and Guangxi were successfully dealt with almost immediately after the operation began. These people with military and important official positions did not die, but their martial arts were crippled by means of the martial arts world, and then they were made disabled by the poison provided by Lin Yao. For these influential figures in the public society, it was more in the overall interest to retire due to illness than to disappear or die. After all, no matter how much the Yi family wanted revenge, they could not ignore their social influence.
The factory owner and the Jiang family members from Hainan obtained enough intelligence, and they all managed to evade the attack. Of course, the Jiang family members mentioned here are those who have attained sufficiently high positions; ordinary Jiang family members who are recorded by the Yi family all end up "disappearing."
The Yi family also suffered losses. Besides the two early-stage prefecture-level members lost in the attack on the Jiang family headquarters in Huizhou, every provincial action team suffered casualties. In particular, those members who hadn't yet reached the prefecture level lost thirty-two members in operations against Jiang family members who, despite their relatively low strength, could mobilize secular forces. The main reason for this was that the Jiang family had prior knowledge of the raid and had been monitoring the Yi family's movements through various means, thus enabling them to concentrate their forces to deliver a heavy blow to the Yi family.
Fortunately, the Jiang family still underestimated the overall strength of the Yi family. The rapid advancement of the Yi family members far exceeded their expectations, which led to errors in their defense and attack plans. This allowed most of the Yi family's action teams to complete their missions, albeit with significant losses.
====================
Sorry! Something came up today, so I had to cry. I won't even be able to finish 10,000 words. I still have to write as much as possible so I don't lose my perfect attendance bonus if I can't make up for it tomorrow.
I'm really sorry that today's chapter was terrible. I hope the next chapter will be better.
It seems I really need to stockpile drafts to avoid problems. I should at least have 10,000 words saved up. I'm reflecting on this.

Chapter 277 Divine Punishment
Please remember our website domain name <www.NieS>, or search for "NieShu Novel Network" on Baidu.
The Yi family, experiencing both joy and sorrow, brought their revenge mission to an end.
The vast majority of people returned to Yanji. Only a few wounded were sent to Chengdu for treatment by Lin Yao.
During this operation, the gentle and refined elder Lin Yao impressed all the Yi family members who participated in the Huizhou operation.
Lin Yao's performance during the operation completely overturned their previous image of him, and they could no longer regard this handsome and humble young man as a good man.
The number of Jiang family members who perished at Lin Yao's hands far exceeded that of Elder Yi Potian, a Heaven-level expert.
This result shocked and confused the Yi family members, and in turn made them even more respectful.
The First Elder, Yi Potian, only informed the family heads Yi Yang, Yi Dao, Yi An, Yi Gong, and Yi Shui of the situation. He said that Jiang Xianhua, a Heavenly Realm expert from the Jiang family, was not actually killed by Yi Potian himself. Most of the credit should be attributed to Lin Yao. He also revealed the astonishing answer that Lin Yao could kill a Heavenly Realm expert on his own.
As a result, Lin Yao's status and position in the Yi family became even more prestigious. Even Yi An, who had previously only regarded Lin Yao as a highly talented divine doctor who could bring great benefits to the Yi family, began to treat Lin Yao as a true super expert. The respect and humility in his eyes made Lin Yao feel his scalp tingle.
Lin Yao had already "emerged from seclusion," so Elder Yi Potian was relieved about his personal safety. After arranging things in Chengdu, he went to the capital, where another fierce battle was about to unfold.
Jiang Xianhua's son, Jiang Liu, has actually escaped! And he's even taken with him Jiang Nianba, a master who has always been overlooked by the Yi family!
Although Jiang Nianba is a peak Earth-level expert, the Jiang family, which has always concealed its strength and acted in an extremely shady manner, has always kept him hidden. He only showed his true colors now when the military needed to demonstrate the remaining strength of the Jiang family. This 57-year-old "newcomer" expert can be considered the strongest martial artist in the Jiang family at present, which allows them to barely avoid being classified as a third-rate family.
Because of decades of operation, the Jiang family's influence has penetrated into various sectors of the military and the five southern provinces. It is not possible to immediately remove their influence. Jiang Nianyao, the highest-ranking member of the Jiang family and the commander of the Changzhou Military Region, escaped this term, leaving Yi Yang and Yi Shui, who were specifically in charge of the operation, empty-handed.
Jiang Nianyao himself was at the top level of the Earth Realm. Because there were many guards, the Yi family arranged for Yi Yang and Yi Shui, who were also at the top level of the Earth Realm, to jointly take charge of the operation. This also shows how important Jiang Nianyao's identity was. Unfortunately, the Jiang family, who knew the information in advance, arranged for him to avoid the attack. At that time, he was on official business in the capital.
Although the Jiang family wasn't completely eradicated in one fell swoop, their losses this time were enormous, and they are unlikely to have a chance to recover under the continued attacks from the Yi family.
Although the Yi family is not good at economics and politics, as long as they are willing and their overall strength is on the rise, knowledgeable families will naturally take the initiative to cooperate with them.
Over the years, the Jiang family has offended quite a few powerful families, including many cunning schemers. However, the Jiang family has dealt them blows, leaving them barely clinging to life.
Now that the Jiang family has lost power, naturally many second- or third-rate families, or even families with only a few remaining members, will jump out and tear the Jiang family apart.
