290: The Lin family's revenge was finally achieved

“Still trying to escape?”

Xie Weilou’s figure flickered, instantly appearing before Yan Wugou. He grabbed Yan Wugou’s head, and a powerful force surged into his body.

“Ah…”

Yan Wugou let out a bloodcurdling scream, his bones shattered into dust, meridians severed, and Dantian utterly destroyed. His cultivation was completely gone. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, making him look utterly miserable.

“Sixth Prince, why aren’t you laughing now? Didn’t you think victory was assured?”

Xie Weilou’s tone was cold and sharp.

“Xie Weilou, you… you crippled my cultivation! May you die a terrible death! I am a Prince of Great Xia. If you dare to kill me…”

Yan Wugou’s eyes dimmed, and he uttered a venomous sound.

Boom!

Xie Weilou squeezed hard, and Yan Wugou’s body instantly exploded into a mist of blood, leaving only a wisp of soul power.

“You are a Prince of Great Xia? Even the Xia Emperor wouldn’t be enough.”

Xie Weilou spoke with an indifferent expression.

He waved his hand, and this soul body flew towards Lin Qinghuang: “Qinghuang, you search his soul. His soul is yours to deal with.”

He destroyed Yan Wugou’s physical body, and Lin Qinghuang destroyed Yan Wugou’s soul. This way, Lin Qinghuang could be considered to have avenged herself.

“Mm!”

Lin Qinghuang grabbed the soul body, formed a seal, and directly performed soul-searching.

“Ah…”

Yan Wugou’s soul body trembled continuously, emitting a shrill soul fluctuation.

Lin Qinghuang remained unmoved, continuing the soul search.

A few breaths later.

After Lin Qinghuang finished searching the soul, Yan Wugou’s soul body was incredibly dim. She casually squeezed it, and the soul body instantly turned into dust.

She also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling an inexplicable sense of comfort. The Lin family’s revenge for their extermination was finally achieved!

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou: “His soul was somewhat incomplete, but I did find some information. The destruction of the Lin family was indeed his doing, just as he said before.”

She paused for a second, then continued: “However, the matter of your Zhenxi Marquis Manor is a bit complicated. The true mastermind is the Nine Heavens Tower. He was merely working for the Nine Heavens Tower. Destroying my Lin family and framing you was just to kill you. Then, the destruction of Old Master Xie was a joint effort between him and Xie Cangxuan; as for your father’s death, it was also related to him. He used a treasure to invite the Great Peng King to act…”

“Nine Heavens Tower.”

Xie Weilou fell silent. Hearing this, things still didn’t add up, because his third uncle, Xie Bi’an, was a key factor.

He didn’t know how strong Xie Bi’an’s true cultivation was, but he understood that if Xie Bi’an wanted to protect the Zhenxi Marquis Manor, neither the Old Master nor Xie Nantian would have met with misfortune.

But surprisingly, despite Xie Bi’an being there, the Old Master and Xie Nantian still met with misfortune, which left him somewhat puzzled.

There must be some hidden secrets he didn’t know about, which he needed to explore himself. Now that Yan Wugou was dead, the Lin family’s revenge was taken, and the matter of him being framed was resolved.

Next, he needed to investigate the truth behind the deaths of the Old Master and Xie Nantian.

Lin Qinghuang said: “As for why the Nine Heavens Tower wanted to attack your Zhenxi Marquis Manor, he didn’t know. According to his memories, the Fox Maiden happened to know that the Nine Heavens Tower was going to attack the Zhenxi Marquis Manor, so she facilitated the connection for him. After he attacked your Zhenxi Marquis Manor, he caught the eye of the Nine Heavens Tower and became a part of it.”

Xie Weilou pondered: “The Fox Maiden and the Nine Heavens Tower are clues. I’ll investigate them later.”

The Nine Heavens Tower was mysterious and unfathomable, even having Divine Court Realm experts, so it should not be underestimated.

He waved his hand, and the storage rings of Nether Master, Yan Wugou, seven Mystic Form experts, and several Dao Repository experts flew into his hand.

The rewards from the Northern You Alliance were probably good, but compared to the items in these storage rings, they were likely inferior.

After a brief thought.

Xie Weilou erased all the Restriction on the storage rings, then opened Yan Wugou’s storage ring. There were quite a few things inside, but there didn’t seem to be any heaven-defying supreme treasures, which was a bit disappointing.

“Give me Nether Master’s storage ring; the rest are all yours.”

Xie Weilou put away Nether Master’s storage ring and gave all the remaining ones to Lin Qinghuang.

Lin Qinghuang was not polite and took all these storage rings. She then said: “Oh right, inside Nether Master’s storage ring, there’s a map of Phoenix Perch Mountain that Yan Wugou gave him. That place is extremely unusual! However, that map is incomplete. I got another map from Yan Wugou’s memories. I’ll make a copy for you to see later.”

“Mm!”

Xie Weilou nodded slightly.

Lin Qinghuang seemed to have thought of something else. She stared at Yan Wugou’s blood mist, formed a seal, and refined drops of scorching fresh blood from it.

A moment later.

A small cluster of peculiar fresh blood appeared before her. She took out a jade bottle and stored it: “This is a portion of Phoenix Blood I refined. Take it! Perhaps you can use it when you enter the Mystic Form Realm.”

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and put away the jade bottle. The previous Phoenix Blood had not yet been used, and now there was another portion, which was quite good.

“There are still some demons in this Cave Heaven. I’ll go deal with them.”

Lin Qinghuang flew away.

One incense stick later.

She arrived at the square.

“It’s resolved,”

Lin Qinghuang said calmly.

Xie Weilou waved his hand, and the Taixu Spirit Fire appeared. Gray flames furiously burned, erasing all the blood mist, corpses, and aura from the area. The Cave Heaven continuously shook and collapsed.

“Let’s go!”

Xie Weilou put away the Taixu Spirit Fire.

The two transformed into streaks of light and instantly flew away.

After they left, the Nether Mountain Cave Heaven immediately collapsed…

——

Evening.

On the peak of a mountain.

Xie Weilou leaned lazily against a tree, a blade of straw dangling from his mouth. The sun was setting, and the evening glow was beautiful.

Lin Qinghuang, in a green dress, sat calmly beside him, holding a pen and ink, drawing a map. A gentle breeze swept by, and her hair danced lightly.

After a while.

Lin Qinghuang handed a map to Xie Weilou: “This is the map of Phoenix Perch Mountain. Phoenix Perch Mountain is a peculiar area. Ye Guhong’s Phoenix Blood came from there, but that place must be very dangerous.”

Xie Weilou took the map, glanced at it casually, and then put it away. He smiled and said: “What are you planning to do next, Lin Qinghuang?”

Lin Qinghuang softly said: “For the rest of the time, I’ll slay demons!”

There were still three months until the Northern You Alliance ended. Since she had nothing to do, she might as well slay demons to improve her cultivation.

A gentle smile appeared on Xie Weilou’s face: “What I mean is, the sunset is beautiful, and my Qinghuang is very pretty. Why don’t you come into my embrace and let me kiss you?”

As the sun set, a cold wind naturally blew. A warm embrace seemed rather nice.

Lin Qinghuang froze for a second. She looked at the sky and murmured: “The sunset is indeed beautiful.”

Xie Weilou stretched, closed his eyes, and said with a smile: “The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s near dusk! Beautiful things are always fleeting. If one can grasp them, that’s perfect. If one cannot, it’s a lifelong regret.”

“…”

Lin Qinghuang glanced at Xie Weilou, and a smile appeared on her face. She hugged her knees, seriously watching the evening glow.

How many more times could she see such a sunset?

“Aren’t you going to ask me some things?”

Lin Qinghuang spoke softly.

However, a faint snore came from Xie Weilou beside her.

“…”

Lin Qinghuang was stunned for a second, then chuckled. After a fight, this guy must be tired.

She gently waved her hand, and a feather skirt appeared. She draped it over Xie Weilou…
