Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 919 - 399. Two sides causing trouble, a palace coup drama

Swish swish swish...

The raging wind swept across the earth, and the pouring rain cascaded down from the sky in torrents, as if countless faucets had been opened above the entire Hexi region, unleashing relentless torrents from the heavens.

Both the wilderness and the official road were enveloped in the rain curtain.

Thunder rumbled from the sky from time to time, followed closely by lightning. Rather than a rainstorm, it felt like a punishment meted out by the heavens in their wrath.

The raindrops struck painfully on people's foreheads, and any attempt to open one's eyes would be instantly blurred by the rain. The psychological and physiological intimidation was twofold, and even those who obediently hid at home, afraid to go out, often felt a sense of apprehensive fear.

Let alone, those who were fleeing!

At the official road in Si Shui County, hundreds of thousands of people were trudging forward in the pouring rain, mostly dragging their families along, many even pushing small carts, with few traveling alone. Among the larger groups, some even drove hundreds of nags, and heavy wagons crushed the puddles on the road, making cracking sounds.

The floods had already risen above the knees of the fleeing populace. Many wagons, overloaded with goods, were stuck in the mud pits. Those eligible to flee with horse teams were all prominent families of Si Shui County, who naturally had martial artists at their disposal. Seeing the wagons trapped in the mud, they hurriedly ordered their martial artists to help pull the wagons out, even if it delayed their escape and affected the people behind them. They spared no effort to save their family's assets. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

The people behind clearly recognized the owners of these convoys, mostly daring not to voice their anger. Even at this critical moment of life and death, they remained silent, patiently waiting for them to rescue the wagons before continuing their own escape.

Clatter......

But this rainstorm, it was truly relentless!

Under the relentless downpour, the water which initially only reached the people's knees flooded past their waists in less than an hour. Some young adults with cultivation or adept at swimming maneuvered with ease in the water, but the elderly, weak, women, children, and those unversed in martial arts or swimming were in dire straits.

Hundreds of thousands formed a long dragon-like procession on the official road, the throng of people greatly affecting the eastward flow of water. Even ordinary people, as long as they stayed on the official road and didn't get separated, had a very low chance of being swept away.

The problem is, under the intense water surge, the official road quickly submerged, and ordinary people couldn't tell whether they were on the road or in the wilderness. A slight misstep to the side would mean being pushed out of the official road and swept toward unknown waters, which meant almost certain death.

"My child has been swept away, will someone with authority please save my child..."

Suddenly, a woman's wails resounded repeatedly at the forefront, not loud enough for everyone to hear, but the issue was that she was surrounded by ordinary people.

For ordinary folks, fear and panic are highly infectious.

"I don't want to die, run, don't block the way ahead."

"Hurry, save yourselves, forget about her..."

"You can't save your own life and still want to save others, run fast."

"Don't step on me, don't step on me!"

"Everyone in front, move aside, or I'll cut you down with my knife!"

"Get out of my way!"

......

Days of fleeing, coupled with the woman's desperate cries for help, became the last straw that broke these people in the relentless pouring rain. A heavy sense of hopelessness and helplessness instantly drowned all the people around the woman.

This emotion soon spread throughout the fleeing crowd.

The most lethal thing was some martial artists, who, relying on their cultivation, didn't care about the lives of ordinary folks. Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm stepped directly on the heads of people below, while Martial Artists of the Open Body Realm wielded sharp blades, slaughtering the ordinary people who blocked their path, just to carve out a smooth escape route for themselves. If not for the sheer number of people, they might have carved a bloody path through the official road.

The hysteria of the martial artists undeniably exacerbated the panic among the people. Some timid folks, in order to avoid the martial artists, had to leave the official road. But doing so meant immediately being swept away by the faster currents on the sides, leading to certain death.

The intimidation of martial artists remained strong in the minds of the people. Even the boldest dared not resist, perhaps knowing that resistance was also a dead end. They knew leaving the official road meant death, so they could only stay in the middle, hoping the martial artists' blades wouldn't fall on their heads.

The marching speed of an army of hundreds of thousands would be greatly diminished, let alone ordinary people with no semblance of military discipline. Moreover, they were fleeing. The continuous rain, heavy waterlogging on the official road, severely damaged conditions, and chaos meant the entire fleeing crowd could only move two or three miles in an hour or two.

But the rain continued to fall, the water on the official road not just flooding past the waist but soon reaching the chest of an average adult. Such depth was lethal for the elderly, weak, women, and children.

"Father, save me, father save me..."

"Woooo..."

"Husband, where are you... where are you..."

"Heavens, please stop raining, please stop!"

"Help, help, save me..."

......

Thud thud thud, thud thud thud...

Suddenly, a sound of the earth trembling came from the west. Many who hadn't yet fallen into despair, both ordinary people and martial artists, were momentarily stunned. They hurriedly lifted their heads, braving the pouring rain, to look westward.
