24: Chapter 24 Family Reunion, the Myriad Soul Banner Devours and Advances!

Qin Yu looked at the Origin in his hand with satisfaction.

Then, he tossed aside the long-unconscious Xiao Fan as if he were trash.

"What a waste!"

Qin Yu wiped his hands, looking disgusted.

He turned around and glanced at the two women behind him who were already frozen in fear.

"Yu Xin."

Qin Yu beckoned to her, a gentle smile on his face.

"Come over and take a look."

"Is this Old thing really your high-spirited brother?"

Xiao Yuxin trembled all over, subconsciously glancing at the lump of humanoid object on the ground.

Where was there any trace of her brother left?

It was clearly just a piece of dead, withered tree root.

Dirty, smelly, and disgusting.

A physiological repulsion surged in her heart.

Coupled with the brainwashing from Qin Yu's previous revelation about his background.

"No... I don't know him!"

Xiao Yuxin shrank into Qin Yu's embrace, her eyes full of disgust:

"He is a monster, a spawn of evil!"

"Yu Xin only has Brother Qin Yu as a relative."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Fan, who had already been unconscious, suddenly twitched violently.

A final tear rolled down from his cloudy, aged eyes.

He was completely desperate, his heart dead and cold.

【Ding! Detected that the Child of Destiny, Xiao Fan's life functions are about to be exhausted, and his remaining value has been squeezed dry!】

Qin Yu smiled slightly. Squeezed dry? No.

As a qualified villain, how could he be so wasteful?

This Physical Body was ruined, but this Soul...

It was a premium product brewed after experiencing extreme pain, despair, and hatred.

It couldn't be more suitable to serve as the main Soul for the ten thousand souls banner.

Besides, he had sworn an oath back then.

As long as Xu Guanqing couldn't kill him, one day when he returned as a king, he would dig up his ancestral grave and exterminate his ten clans!

"Bring Xu Guanqing to me!"

"And drag Xiao Wanrou, who is playing dead over there, over as well!"

Qin Yu waved his hand, and the ten thousand souls banner was unleashed with a boom.

Black mist billowed, and ghostly winds howled.

Next was the moment for a real family gathering.

Black mist rolled, and ghostly winds whistled.

Xu Guanqing was thrown beside Xiao Fan. Xiao Wanrou was also dragged over.

The once high and mighty Elder Xu now lacked limbs and had become a human trunk.

The widely revered Saintess Xiao had her face beaten swollen, acting crazy like a hag.

Xiao Fan, who considered himself the Child of Destiny, had his Origin drained and had turned into a shriveled old man.

The family of three was finally gathered together, neat and tidy.

It was just that this scene of reunion looked creepy no matter how one looked at it.

"No, don't..."

Xu Guanqing looked at the large black banner hovering above his head, and his crotch wet again.

He was a Cultivator, so of course he knew what that hellish thing was.

Once inside the ten thousand souls banner, one could neither live nor die.

One would be torn apart by ten thousand ghosts day and night, never to be reincarnated!

"Young Master Qin! Lord Son of God! I know I was wrong!"

"I am a dog! I am an old dog!"

"Please, spare my life!"

Xu Guanqing wriggled on the ground with his remaining body, kowtowing hard. Thump, thump, thump!

His scalp was split open, and blood streamed down, but he didn't dare to stop.

"So noisy."

Qin Yu dug his ear, a playful smile on his face:

"I know you're a dog, that's why I found you a good home."

"Look, Lin Beichen and Liu Ruyan have been waiting for you inside for a long time. Old acquaintances meeting, shouldn't you have a good chat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shrill scream came from the ten thousand souls banner.

Two twisted ghost faces pressed against the banner's surface. It was Lin Beichen and Liu Ruyan.

They wailed and struggled in the darkness inside the banner. Looking at the living people outside, their eyes were full of resentment and longing.

"Come! Come in and keep us company!"

The voice was sharp and ear-piercing, making one's scalp tingle.

"It's over."

Qin Yu pinched a magic seal in his hand. The ten thousand souls banner grew in the wind, instantly turning a hundred feet large, covering the entire square.

"Rise!"

A huge suction force exploded from the mouth of the banner.

"Ah!!!"

Xu Guanqing bore the brunt of it, letting out a miserable scream.

His crown cracked open, and his Soul was forcibly pulled out.

The Soul's face was twisted. It gripped its own Physical Body, trying to resist the suction.

But in the face of the power of the ten thousand souls banner, what was this little resistance worth?

With a soft pop, Xu Guanqing's Divine Soul left his body and was swept into the black mist.

Next was Xiao Wanrou. She was already crazy.

At this moment, the pain of her Soul being torn apart made her lucid for a moment.

She looked at Xiao Fan, who was about to lose his breath beside her, and her eyes revealed a final maternal instinct.

"Faner, Mother is sorry..."

Before she could finish, her Divine Soul was also pulled out, wailing as it was sucked into the banner.

Finally, it was Xiao Fan's turn. This youth who was once high-spirited and wanted to defy the heavens and change his fate.

Now lying on the ground, unable to move.

His cloudy, aged eyes watched his parents being refined. He watched that pitch-black banner mouth press down on him.

No struggle, no begging for mercy. His heart had long since died.

Just at the moment his Divine Soul left his body.

He looked one last time at the high platform, at the sister he once loved with his life, Xiao Yuxin.

At this moment, Xiao Yuxin was standing obediently behind Qin Yu, her eyes empty and cold.

As for everything happening below the stage, she seemed to not see it at all.

"Heh!"

Xiao Fan's Divine Soul let out a final, self-deprecating bitter laugh.

Whoosh! This Divine Soul, filled with resentment and unwillingness, turned into a crimson-black stream of light and submerged into the depths of the ten thousand souls banner.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host, successfully refined the Child of Destiny, Xiao Fan's Divine Soul!】

【Successfully refined the Child of Destiny's relatives, Xiao Wanrou and Xu Guanqing's Divine Souls!】

【Detected dense resentment and high-quality Divine Souls, the ten thousand souls banner is beginning to evolve!】

Rumble! The pitch-black banner surface suddenly burst with streaks of blood-colored lightning.

The ancient runes on the banner pole began to wiggle frantically.

A pressure several times stronger than before swept out.

Then, in the center of the banner surface, a faint, flickering phantom of a demon god slowly emerged.

At the demon god's feet, Xiao Fan's family of three, along with the previous Lin Beichen and Liu Ruyan.

A total of five hideous ghost faces were circling each other, biting and roaring.

This kind of negative energy was exactly the nourishment for the ten thousand souls banner.

Crack! With a crisp sound, the black Qi around the ten thousand souls banner began to turn dark purple. Breakthrough in grade!

【Congratulations to the Host! The ten thousand souls banner devoured the Child of Destiny's Luck and evolved into—the nine netherworld bone banner!】

【Current main Soul: 1 (Xiao Fan)】

【Current effects: Can summon the phantom of the Nine Netherworld Ghost King to assist in battle, can condense Yellow Springs corpse water to corrode all things!】

Qin Yu gripped this brand-new large banner with one hand. A bone-chilling yet power-filled sensation surged from his palm.

Awesome! Too awesome!

Not only did he get a complete ball of Chaos Origin, but he also got a Divine Artifact, the heaven measuring ruler, for free.

He even upgraded his own life-bound Divine Artifact along the way.

This trip was truly a huge harvest.

"Withdraw." With a thought from Qin Yu, the sky-covering black mist instantly retracted.
