Hearing Shao He's chilling ultimatum, the faces of all these people turned extremely unsightly.

They knew that Shao He was not joking with them anymore, so if they didn't quickly decide which side to stand on, they would soon indeed end up accompanying the dead.

Nobody wants to die!

Although these elders were already halfway buried in the ground, they still didn't want to die.

Thus, after wrestling with their conscience for a brief moment, they exchanged glances and, soon enough, silently moved to Shao He's side.

Shao He saw them approach, his face filled with smiles.

In his eyes, as long as he could divide them, everything would truly become easier to handle.

"Mommy, these grandpas are actually..."

Bai Mengmeng was completely dumbfounded as she saw more and more people moving to the other side.

She had not expected these people to truly want to betray their family...

Hearing the shock in Bai Mengmeng's voice, Bai Xuening gently waved her hand...

Compared to Bai Mengmeng, she could quite accept the situation unfolding before her.

She knew that these people had long harbored thoughts of rebellion.

Therefore, their current willingness to step forward was not at all reprehensible.

With these unstable elements gone, the whole family would be more united...

...

Having thought this through, Bai Xuening calmly looked at them.

Soon after, Bai Xuening spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Is everyone who wants to step out now present? If anyone still has thoughts of doing so, they can step out as well! Remember, this is your last chance to choose. If you do not step out now, that means you want to stand with me! Later on, if you betray me, then I won't be so easy to talk to!"

After listening to Bai Xuening's cold words, a few people hesitated for a moment but ultimately stepped forward.

Quickly, only five people were left standing behind Bai Xuening...

Bai Xuening had anticipated such a scenario, so she was quite indifferent...

However, the five people standing behind her were now furious...

"How could you… doing this, can you face the family and Master Xiaobei? Earlier, if Master Xiaobei hadn't helped you neutralize the poison, you would have already been dead!"

"Right, you really are shameless now!"

"Exactly! You have no sense of shame, it's disgusting!"

Before, they had also thought of betraying again, but they quickly gave up the idea because they knew that their lives had been given by Hu Xiaobei!

Under such circumstances, to betray again would indeed invite scorn...

Angrily berated in such a manner, those people were very irate...

In response, they came back furiously and bitterly...

"Stop acting so noble here! Weren't you harboring the same thoughts as us before?"

"Exactly! Now just because Hu Xiaobei saved you, you change your original intentions? Yes! We admit, it was Hu Xiaobei who saved us, but what does that have to do with Bai Xuening? We'll repay Hu Xiaobei when the time comes!"

"That's right! Separate the issues."

"Indeed."

All these traitors were not fools...

They knew that they absolutely couldn't let themselves be labeled as ungrateful and unrighteous, otherwise, it would be impossible to shed that label later on.

Shao He, hearing their chilling retorts, laughed!

Soon after, Shao He casually said, "You are right! Stepping out now is following the mandate of heaven. In the future, I will be grateful to you. By then, the Bai Family will belong to you, and as for the other remnants, I will soon cleanse the household for you, Bai Family."

When Shao He spoke like this, he was thrilled!

He knew that most of the Bai Family's elders had now taken his side, so with just a call to arms, many members of the Bai Family would choose his side.

By then, he could truly conquer the Bai Family without spilling any blood.

Hearing Shao He speak, those who had betrayed wasted no time in seizing the opportunity.

"Shao Family Head is right. Before, Bai Xuening relied on her bewitching words to deceive and become the Family Head of our Bai Family. Now, we want to remove her from that position, so you have to stand up for us."

"That's right, Shao Family Head, take her down for us!"

"Indeed."

"Alright! I promise you!"

Having made the promise, Shao He looked at the five people behind Bai Xuening with a cruel face...

Soon, he said coldly, "Have you made up your minds now? Are you choosing Bai Xuening?"

"Nonsense! If you're capable, come and fight."

"Exactly, if we were afraid of you, we'd be grandsons!"

"That's right."

These five people were screaming hysterically; they knew they were about to die...

But they didn't care, for they felt their life experiences had been rich enough!

...

"Grandsons? Then you've accepted being my grandsons!"

After such mockery, Shao He prepared to issue an order.

At that moment, his face suddenly changed...

The reason for this was that he heard a slight noise.

After turning his head, his complexion became extremely ugly.

The reason for this was that after turning around, he saw the array set up by those four men shaking rapidly!

Indeed, that pile of giant stones was trembling like crazy!

It seemed like it could collapse at any moment!

"Damn it, didn't you four promise me that at the very least, it would hold for an hour? It's only been a few minutes, you four useless fools."

Before, they would have been furious being scolded like that.

But now, they felt no anger, for all their attention was on the array...

In the past, they had used this array more than once!

Every time, it had lasted quite a while.

But now, it was about to completely crumble in just a few minutes, which they could not accept.

...

Seeing the four of them stunned, Shao He hopped around in frustration!

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and think of a way to repair it, if Hu Xiaobei really gets out, we're all done for."

Hearing such furious scolding, the corners of their mouths twitched involuntarily...

Quickly, they prepared to suppress it, but it was already too late, because at that moment, a cold hum came through.

After turning their heads, they saw that pile of giant stones completely shattered.

At the same time, Hu Xiaobei emerged unscathed, his face calm as he walked out.

The whole place fell silent!

Seeing Hu Xiaobei virtually unharmed, the silence became deafening.

Seeing their shocked expressions, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes...

Soon after, Hu Xiaobei's airy voice casually remarked, "This array isn't bad, but it's far from enough to hold me. If this is your ultimate move, then beg for mercy now, otherwise, you won't even have the chance to kneel later."

Deathly silence!

Listening to Hu Xiaobei's lazy words, the scene plunged into dead silence!

Before, the young people of the Shao Family, hearing Hu Xiaobei speak so arrogantly, would have mocked him furiously.

But now, they didn't dare, for Hu Xiaobei's strength was truly terrifying.

So much so that they truly dared not say anything!

Hu Xiaobei, seeing that everyone was silent as cicadas in winter, said nothing more but turned to look at Bai Xuening...

Seeing only a few people behind her, Hu Xiaobei sighed, "Such is human nature, actually exposing them might be better for the Bai Family."

Bai Xuening, hearing Hu Xiaobei's comforting words, nodded gently.

Soon, she whispered, "Indeed! They aren't with me wholeheartedly, so separating early is indeed better for the family."

Hearing Bai Xuening's words, those Bai Family elders who had previously defected, their faces turned extremely ugly!

Just then, they thought the Bai Family had no chance left, so they chose to switch allegiance; now, they knew they had chosen wrong...

They wanted to go back!

But they knew it was impossible now, for Bai Xuening would certainly not welcome them again...

Thinking this, they looked at each other with ugly expressions...

Quickly, they walked a few steps towards Shao He with expressionless faces, knowing that now they had to show their determination in front of Shao He...
