10: A family should be together!

The moment Lu Xian's courtyard gate closed.

Chen Yuyun discovered a strange phenomenon; the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the courtyard seemed to suddenly increase significantly, making one feel refreshed.

Seeing her look of surprise.

Lu Xian only gave a slight smile.

"Brother Lu... could this small courtyard of yours be built upon a Spiritual Vein node?" Chen Yuyun asked, her voice a mix of surprise and joy.

Lu Xian could not be bothered to maintain the pretense.

His Physical Body's strength suddenly erupted, instantly seizing Chen Yuyun's snow-white neck; with a slight exertion of force, he lifted her entire person two feet off the ground.

"Cough... cough..."

Chen Yuyun's breathing was immediately cut off, her feet kicking futilely in mid-air.

"Bro... ther... why...?" Her eyes were full of confusion and pleading.

Won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, eh?

The strength in Lu Xian's fingers increased further.

Chen Yuyun had only obtained the quasi-immortal jade token a few months ago and was barely at the first level of Qi Refining; how could those few wisps of weak magical power in her body break free from the terrifying power of the third layer of the Spirit Devouring Bone Transformation Scripture?

Finally, the shadow of death loomed over her, and a look of genuine terror appeared on her face.

Before Lu Xian could interrogate her, she pleaded in a trembling voice: "Yun'er will... will confess! Let me go, it has nothing to do with me, it was all my parents' idea..."

Lu Xian smiled and said, "Not bad, you're sensible."

His fingers loosened slightly.

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Chen Yuyun's eyes, and she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Help! Someone is trying to do something indecent! Indecent assault..."

Lu Xian watched her performance with composure.

After a while, the courtyard gate remained tightly closed, with no movement at all. Chen Yuyun's face turned pale as she seemed to realize something.

"You, you actually set up a Sound-isolating Formation?"

She said in disbelief with a miserable smile, "That's right, and there's also a Spirit Gathering Formation... Lu Xian, you've deceived everyone!"

Lu Xian raised his leg and kicked her hard in the abdomen.

"Bang!"

Chen Yuyun flew back three zhang like a tattered sack, crashing heavily into the corner of the courtyard wall and spitting out blood.

"One kick for every bit of nonsense. Any last words? If not, I'll send you on your way!" he said coldly.

He hated dawdlers the most.

"It's my parents! Chen Changfeng! He's the one who instigated everything..."

Chen Yuyun was in immense pain, her heart consumed by fear; she only wanted to live, so she spilled everything.

"Also! You can't kill me! I am now the Dao Companion of the Wang Family's Third Young Master!"

"So that's how it is. Heh, quite a calculation," Lu Xian sneered.

He thought quickly.

According to Chen Yuyun, the Chen couple consisted of one at the fourth level of Qi Refining and one at the third level.

The two didn't have any particularly strong offensive Spells, just a Water Sword Technique, which was nothing to fear.

Of course, Lu Xian didn't fully believe her; those two must have trump cards.

As for that "Young Master Wang"? It sounded like a scam at first listen!

Which Foundation Establishment Family's young master would be short of that small amount of Spirit Stones? It was just a familiar routine from his past life: lure you in with small profits, and once you've staked everything, swallow you whole, principal and interest.

He hadn't expected people in the cultivation world to fall for this as well.

"Shout again, and according to your original plan, lure those two in!" Lu Xian decided.

If he didn't settle this completely today, he wouldn't be able to sleep or eat in peace in the future.

After all, with two venomous snakes hiding in the shadows, there would eventually be a moment of negligence.

"Fine!"

Chen Yuyun endured the intense pain and gasped, "Then... then if you kill my parents, you can't kill me anymore..."

"Naturally, I can spare your life afterwards," Lu Xian agreed casually.

He dragged Chen Yuyun to a position directly facing the courtyard gate, while he himself slipped into the shadows beside the gate, simultaneously quietly deactivating the bonus effect of the [Immortal Cave].

Chen Yuyun already knew Lu Xian's purpose, but she had no choice.

"Help! Someone is trying to do something indecent! Worse than a beast, save me—"

She screamed shrilly, but in her heart, she thought: Father, Mother, I'm sorry! But I still want to be happy with Young Master Wang. Rest assured, I will definitely take revenge later... Outside the courtyard gate.

Chen Changfeng and his wife had waited for half an hour, but there was silence inside the courtyard, and they thought something unexpected had happened.

Suddenly hearing their daughter's shrill cry for help, Chen Changfeng was overjoyed.

It's done!

Liu Shi suddenly said, "Careful, it might be a trap!"

Chen Changfeng was very confident: "We can't worry about that now, let's get in first!"

"Boom!"

The couple casually smashed the gate.

Scanning the courtyard, they saw their daughter Chen Yuyun lying on the ground with a pale face, and their minds couldn't help but stall for a moment.

"Watch out behi—" Chen Yuyun opened her mouth, but before she could finish her sentence.

An extremely powerful force, like a venomous Dragon, pierced into Chen Changfeng's back, instantly tearing through his internal organs and erupting from his chest!

Blood sprayed wildly!

Under the 100% combat power bonus of the [Immortal Cave], Lu Xian's strike was unstoppable!

He withdrew his arm, his palm clutching a still-throbbing, steaming heart; his fingers closed!

"Squelch!"

Chen Changfeng's eyes bulged, and he died without being able to make a sound, unable even to activate his hidden trump card.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Having dealt with the most significant threat, Father Chen, Lu Xian's cold gaze instantly locked onto Liu Shi.

Without a word, he struck again!

After all, villains die from talking too much; although he wasn't a villain, he knew this principle just as well.

Only then did Liu Shi snap back to her senses, hurriedly circulating her magical power in an attempt to counterattack.

But when she clearly sensed the fluctuations of magical power emanating from Lu Xian, she screamed in shock:

"Third level of Qi Refining? How is that possible?!"

Lu Xian's fist had already smashed towards her like a meteorite!

She tried her best to dodge, but her right arm was still grazed by the wind of the fist.

"Crack!"

The arm bone snapped instantly!

Intense pain hit her, and Liu Shi's soul almost left her body; she fell to her knees with a thud, "Nephew Lu, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

She knelt down quite quickly.

Lu Xian sneered, "Misunderstanding my foot! Don't think I don't know; my parents were killed by you back then, weren't they?"

Although he wasn't the original owner, today, this Karma must be settled!

"You... you actually know? You've been pretending all these years?!" Liu Shi was horrified.

"So much nonsense!"

Lu Xian was annoyed; dead people talked too much.

He lunged forward with a full-force kick, directly blowing apart the head of the stunned Liu Shi.

Red and white matter instantly splattered across the front yard.

"Tsk... I'll have to clean this up."

Lu Xian shook the filth off his leg, looking disgusted.

This bloody and cruel scene was fully witnessed by Chen Yuyun, who was not far away.

Her lower skirt was instantly soaked by a pale yellow liquid, emitting a slight stench.

"Damn, even harder to clean now. Forget it, I'll send you on your way. A family should be together and whole."

Lu Xian cursed.

"No! Please, you said you'd spare my life, don't kill me... I'm willing to do anything!" Chen Yuyun cried piteously.

"A Cultivator is not a gentleman; is it so strange to break one's word? You've been in the cultivation world for all these years, haven't you grasped such a simple truth?"

Lu Xian gently stroked her neck.

Chen Yuyun's body stiffened suddenly, then twitched violently a few times; the light in her eyes quickly faded, and she breathed her last.

Scanning the three corpses in the courtyard, Lu Xian frowned slightly.

Killing for the first time, he felt no discomfort, and was even slightly excited.

The [Immortal Cave] effect had already been reactivated; it was silent outside the courtyard, and no one noticed the changes here.

However, the gate was broken. Although his place was remote, Loose Cultivators occasionally passed by, so he had to dispose of the corpses as quickly as possible.

Of course, looting the bodies was essential.

From the flesh of Chen Changfeng's middle finger, he dug out a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair, glinting with a faint blue, cold light.

"A one-time-use sinister Magical Artifact?"

Sensing its Materials and spiritual power fluctuations, Lu Xian felt a bit of lingering fear.

If he hadn't succeeded in the sneak attack first, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

On Liu Shi's person, he only found a Medicinal Pill. Based on Lu Xian's two-and-a-half years of experience as a handyman in the Hundred Elixirs Hall, he recognized this pill as a sub-grade "Qi Recovery Pill."

It was worth less than two Spirit Stones, but better than nothing.

As for Chen Yuyun, she only had an exquisite sachet on her, embroidered with "Presented to my beloved by Wang Qinghong."
