12: Chapter 12 A Bountiful Harvest

After killing nearly ten people in a row, Lin Shen arrived at a relatively secluded backyard of the Liu Family.

There was a dry well here.

According to the information collected by Liu Pingzhi, a spy of the Liu Family, this dry well was a hidden passage concealed by the Liu Family many years ago.

It was prepared precisely for any unexpected needs.

Once the Family encountered powerful enemies, they would arrange for some Disciples with outstanding Aptitude and core members of the Liu Family to escape to other places through this dry well passage, preserving the incense and fire of the Liu Family.

In the distribution of the action plan, Lin Shen was assigned the duty of guarding this dry well, specifically to prevent any remnants of the Liu Family from escaping through this dry well passage.

To this, Lin Shen readily agreed.

Although guarding this place might forfeit some opportunities to slaughter the Liu Family Disciples in the front yard and gain extra profits, its advantage lay in safety, eliminating the need to fight desperately like the others.

Besides, who said there were no extra profits here?

This hidden passage was simply too important.

Lin Shen believed that as long as the Liu Family wanted to preserve a trace of incense and fire within the Family, they would inevitably arrange for a group of Family Disciples with outstanding Aptitude and core figures to transfer through here.

At that time, if he suddenly killed his way out from the dark and swiftly resolved everyone, wouldn't the resources on these core figures and Family Disciples with outstanding Aptitude become his own?

Even if he had to hand them over to the Sect.

But there was only himself here; in reality, wasn't how much to hand over entirely up to him to decide?

Thinking thusly, the corners of Lin Shen's mouth curled up slightly, and his figure flashed, hiding in the shadows of the rockery in the backyard.

As long as anyone dared to enter and wanted to escape through this dry well passage, a single Flying Sword of his could swiftly end that person's life.

While Lin Shen was hiding, shouts of killing filled the air in the Liu Family at this moment, and the flames soared into the sky.

It seemed that Senior Brother Lin Zhiyuan, Wang Zhan, and the others had already begun this massacre.

He just wondered how many people would escape to the entrance of the dry well passage here amidst the massacre by Senior Brother Lin Zhiyuan, Wang Zhan, and the others.

Lurking in the shadows, Lin Shen did not move at all, and in his heart, he began to look forward to a big fish arriving.

Just as Lin Shen was waiting.

The shouts of killing in the front yard grew louder and louder, and the thick stench of blood began to blow over with the cool breeze of the late night.

Although the Liu Family only had more than sixty immortal cultivators, adding the recruited Loose Cultivator guards, Family members who had not stepped into the Cultivate Realm of the Liu Family, and Mortal servants, the population of the entire Liu Family had reached three to four hundred people.

Coupled with the fact that the Liu Family covered a rather large area, wanting to kill all these people at once still required spending a bit more effort.

Therefore, no matter how strong the strength of Wang Zhan, Senior Brother Lin Zhiyuan, and others was, it was still inevitable that some fish would slip through the net and desperately come to this dry well passage leading to other places.

As for escaping this place through the main gate of the Liu Family, that naturally did not need to be considered.

After Lin Shen and the others entered the Liu Family, Liu Pingzhi, acting as a spy, had already led his trusted subordinates to block all other exits of the Liu Family.

Furthermore, he activated the Family protection Formation of the Liu Family, tightly grasping it in his own hands and eliminating the possibility of anyone wanting to leave from the air.

He quietly waited.

Before long, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside this backyard.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, mixed with the thick stench of blood, as well as panicked breathing and low urging sounds.

Lin Shen lurked in the shadows of that rockery, withdrawing the Qi on his body so that his entire person seemed as though he had merged into one with the shadows.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! The entrance to the hidden passage is right ahead."

An urging voice from a middle-aged man sounded clearly, carrying a trace of grief and indignation in his tone as he said: "Chiyun Valley is truly so ruthless! For just a little bit of resources, they want to slaughter every member of my Liu Family! Once we safely leave the territory of Chiyun Valley today, when Prodigy Disciples emerge within the Family in the future, we will definitely make this Chiyun Valley pay in blood!"

Amidst the grief-stricken voice of this middle-aged man, five or six youths around eleven or twelve to fifteen or sixteen years old walked hurriedly into the backyard.

These were all the future of his Liu Family.

They were all the people with the best Aptitude within the Family.

As long as they were given time to grow, making a Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Late Stage in the future would definitely be a piece of cake.

Walking into the backyard, that middle-aged man carefully exhorted: "You've all brought enough cultivation resources, right? After leaving this place, uniformly hand over these cultivation resources, and at that time I will distribute them evenly. Once we reach outside places, I will definitely be able to lead us to develop a new Liu..."

Before he finished speaking completely.

Streaks of sword light rapidly shuttled out from the dark, so fast that even the moonlight did not shine upon the sword blades.

Three Flying Swords flew out consecutively.

Before the middle-aged man and the five youths could react, their heads were directly decapitated by these three Flying Swords.

Scalding hot blood splattered.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, it appeared unusually bewitching and beautiful.

Lin Shen appreciated this masterpiece.

His body flashed rapidly, and he directly and swiftly looted all the Storage Pouches on the corpses.

He certainly wouldn't leave this group of people any opportunity to beg for mercy or speak.

Villains die from talking too much.

Being able to achieve a kill with a single strike was naturally the best; who knew whether this group of people had any hidden lethal moves and methods lurking underneath?

Actually, they should have died when this group of people entered the backyard in the first place.

However, for the sake of being safe, Lin Shen deliberately waited a little longer to prevent anyone else from falling behind.

But it seemed that only these six people managed to escape to the entrance of this dry well passage amidst this massacre.

But it was also enough.

Killing six people in a row, he directly harvested nearly twenty Storage Pouches.

It seemed that taking advantage of the chaos, these six people still looted quite a lot of cultivation resources within the Liu Family, preparing to bring them out to develop well.

In this way, it also benefited him cheaply.

Looking at the nearly twenty additional Storage Pouches in his embrace, the corners of Lin Shen's mouth curled up slightly, and his mood was exceptionally wonderful.

He rapidly transferred the resources of these Storage Pouches, leaving only a small portion intending to take them out after the others resolved the battle.

This wave!

The gains he obtained were at least several thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Murder and arson bring golden belts indeed!

However, Lin Shen had not secretly rejoiced for long when from another direction in the Liu Family backyard, two extremely violent and bizarre auras suddenly erupted.

The stench of blood exuded in the air became even thicker amidst these two violent and bizarre auras.

One in Qi Refining Stage 9 and one at Qi Refining Peak?

Feeling these two suddenly erupting unfamiliar auras, Lin Shen's brows couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he only felt a wave of danger surge into his heart.

Especially the aura coming from that Qi Refining Peak made him feel a trace of a fatal crisis.

Possessing this aura, it was definitely not an ordinary Qi Refining Peak, and it was even very likely that it had infinitely approached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Without the slightest hesitation right now.

Lin Shen rapidly hid himself, his gaze staring fixedly at the direction where these two violent and bizarre auras erupted.
