50: Chapter 50 The Sun Family Martial Arts School Suffers Disaster

Late at night, Wanhua Pavilion.

Inside the room of Courtesan Luoyan.

Courtesan Luoyan was removing her makeup with the help of a maid.

Suddenly, she instructed the maid, "You may leave first; I will handle the rest myself."

"Yes!"

Without a word, the maid turned and left.

Following the maid's departure, a woman in a black robe pushed open the window and slipped inside.

She then knelt on one knee and said to Saintess Luoyan, "Your subordinate greets you, Saintess."

"No need for formalities, rise!"

Without waiting for a response, Saintess Luoyan continued, "What has been the reaction from Master Sun Changming's side?"

The black-robed woman replied, "I have been secretly monitoring Master Sun Changming, but judging by his reactions, that secret technique should not be in his possession!"

"Impossible!"

Saintess Chen Luoyan refused to believe it. Years ago, their Holy Moon Sect, in alliance with two other Sects, had annihilated the Kaishan Sect specifically to seize that top-tier secret technique the Kaishan Sect had accidentally obtained.

Unfortunately, although they had destroyed the Kaishan Sect, they still had not found that top-tier secret technique.

Perhaps the Kaishan Sect had sensed the anomaly beforehand and secretly sent away some of its Disciples.

Over these years, the three Sects had spent a great deal of energy and resources to find all the Disciples the Kaishan Sect had sent away back then.

They had interrogated the other seven Disciples, but had not obtained any information regarding that top-tier secret technique from them.

Therefore, they were convinced that the secret technique was on Sun Lifeng.

Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, Sun Lifeng had already been dead for over a decade.

They had no choice but to target his son, Master Sun Changming.

Regrettably, after several rounds of testing, Master Sun Changming showed no signs of revealing the secret technique.

"Saintess, as far as this subordinate knows, as long as one can Cultivate that secret technique, one's strength will advance by leaps and bounds!" the black-robed woman analyzed. "Sun Lifeng never managed to reach the Bone Refining Realm before he died, and Master Sun Changming is currently stuck at the Late-stage Tendon Refining.

If the father and son of the Sun family truly possessed that secret technique, there is no reason they wouldn't Cultivate it! Perhaps that secret technique really isn't on him!"

"That secret technique is a source of disaster for the Sun father and son; perhaps they didn't dare to Cultivate it and hid it away instead!" Saintess Chen Luoyan speculated.

The black-robed woman was slightly taken aback, then agreed, "That is possible. May I ask, Saintess, what our next step should be? Should we directly capture Master Sun Changming and interrogate him?"

Saintess Chen Luoyan did not answer directly, instead asking, "What are the plans of the people from the Biluo Sect and the Qiongqi Sect?"

"The people from the Biluo Sect propose capturing Master Sun Changming directly for interrogation, while those from the Qiongqi Sect suggest capturing Sun Lingyue and using her to threaten Master Sun Changming into revealing the truth!" the black-robed woman said.

Saintess Chen Luoyan thought for a moment and said, "Proceed as they have suggested!"

"Yes, Saintess, this subordinate will withdraw!"

The black-robed woman saluted once more and flew out of the window.

Leaving Wanhua Pavilion, she sped along and finally arrived at a location to meet with two others.

"What did your Saintess say?"

One of them glanced at the black-robed woman and said with some impatience.

"My Saintess agrees to your plan!"

The black-robed woman said.

"It should have been this way from the start!"

That person revealed a sinister smile.

A quarter of an hour later.

A group of men in black broke into the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall.

In just a short while, the entire martial arts hall was brought under control.

Including Master Sun Changming and his Junior Brother, Zhuo Changlin, they were all subdued.

Soon, Master Sun Changming and Zhuo Changlin, their cultivation sealed, were brought before the black-robed woman and two other middle-aged men.

"Master Sun Changming, hand over the secret technique, and both you and your Sun Family Martial Arts Hall can live. Otherwise, you will all die!" the black-robed woman threatened in a cold tone.

At this moment, Master Sun Changming felt incredibly aggrieved. He said, "Our Sun family has no secret technique. Even if you kill us all, there still isn't one!"

"Hmph, you are ungrateful!"

Another middle-aged man in the Bone Refining Realm spoke with murderous intent, stood up, stepped forward, and drew his blade.

"Pfft!"

A flash of the blade, and blood splattered.

Zhuo Changlin's left arm was severed by the blade.

"Master Sun Changming, be sensible. Hand over the secret technique, and we will leave immediately. Otherwise, I will make your loved ones die before your eyes one by one. First it is your Junior Brother, next it will be your daughter!"

"Beasts! You are all beasts!" Seeing his Junior Brother's arm severed, Master Sun Changming couldn't help but shout in anger, "I have said it many times already, the secret technique is not in our possession!"

"Stubborn fool!"

The blade flashed again, and Zhuo Changlin's right arm was also severed.

"Beasts, bastards! If you have the guts, kill your Grandpa Zhuo!" With both arms severed, Zhuo Changlin felt his heart turn to ash. Desiring only death, he began to curse loudly.

"Wanting to die? It's not that easy!"

The black-robed middle-aged man's face wore a mocking expression. He swung his long blade, and with two thuds, Zhuo Changlin's legs were severed.

Zhuo Changlin fainted from the pain.

"Bring Sun Lingyue!"

Soon, two men in black brought in Sun Lingyue.

The black-robed middle-aged man said in a playful tone, "Master Sun Changming, just now it was your Junior Brother, but now it is your only daughter. Your daughter is still so young, with a bright future ahead of her. Is it worth sacrificing her for a secret technique?"

For a moment, Master Sun Changming's face turned deathly pale. "I have said it many times; the secret technique is truly not in our possession. Please, I beg you, let my daughter go. She is already betrothed to the second Young Master of the Hu Family!"

"Heh!" The black-robed middle-aged man laughed disdainfully. "The Hu Family is merely a local Bone Refining clan. A mere Bone Refining clan is nothing more than a slightly larger ant in our eyes. Using the Hu Family to threaten us is simply ridiculous!"

"Pah! You bunch of bastards! If you want to kill, kill; if you want to slice, slice! Where do all these useless words come from?" At this moment, Sun Lingyue spat defiantly.

"Lingyue, be quiet!"

Seeing this, Master Sun Changming was horrified.

Sun Lingyue said, looking death in the face, "Father, haven't you seen the situation clearly yet? These people are completely unreasonable. Even if we tell them that bullsh*t secret technique is not in our possession, they will still force us to produce it. Therefore, death is inevitable sooner or later, so why should we beg them!"

Hearing his daughter say this, Master Sun Changming was stunned, then laughed heartily. "That's right, Lingyue, you are right. Since death is inevitable anyway, you dogs, if you have the ability, kill us father and daughter!"

Seeing this, the black-robed woman and the other two men in black were struck with doubt. Could the secret technique really not be in the Sun family?

However, the black-robed woman was not willing to give up.

She walked up to Sun Lingyue, reached out to lift her chin, and said, "What a pretty little sister. As long as you make your father obediently hand over the secret technique, I will make the decision to let you go. But if you continue to resist, I want to teach you a lesson: sometimes, being alive is even more terrifying than death!"

Facing the threat in the black-robed woman's words, Sun Lingyue was dismissive. "I'm asking, do you not understand human speech, or do you have problems with your ears? My father and I have already made it very clear: the secret technique you are looking for is simply not in our Sun family. Therefore, there is no need to waste time on us, just do it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Lingyue closed her eyes, looking as if she were resigned to death.

"Hmph, want to die? I refuse to grant your wish. I'll give you a little lesson first!"

Sun Lingyue's attitude made the black-robed middle-aged man next to her very dissatisfied. With a cold snort, he swung his blade toward Sun Lingyue's left shoulder, intending to hack off her entire arm.
