所以呢
“Then what?”
“This is an unforgivable blood feud that can never be reconciled.”
In ancient Chinese law and feudal clan ethics, clan extermination (such as executing nine familial generations) was the ultimate capital punishment. In traditional narratives, clan identity supersedes the individual, making the obligation of avenging an exterminated clan supreme and absolute.
LEARNING CHUNKS & PARTICLES

Commonly found in wuxia, historical, or fantasy dramas, often paired with expressions like 'bu gong dai tian' (cannot live under the same sky) to underscore irreconcilable conflict.
