28: Chapter 28 A Desperate Child, an Indulgent Father, and a Runaway King

Ultimately, under the absolute power of the longsword, Young Master Liu Yun managed to break free from the Green Demon Vines. The remaining Green Demon Vines hid underground one after another, and Young Master Liu Yun took the Opportunity to rush out.

Young Master Liu Yun harbored a bone-deep hatred for Lin Kuang, who stood before him.

Especially since Lin Kuang never confronted him head-on, instead constantly controlling that golden longsword to harass him. And now, they had entered this disgusting forest! It had caused him a great deal of suffering.

"This is exactly the moment I've been waiting for! Thunder and Lightning!" Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Kuang attacked directly.

Young Master Liu Yun's bellyband had just been mostly corroded, and combined with his depleted spiritual energy, he was now like a candle flickering in the wind, completely unable to withstand Lin Kuang's attack.

Pfft—

Young Master Liu Yun spat out a mouthful of fresh blood; he was now at death's door.

Lin Kuang pressed the thunderclap sword against Young Master Liu Yun's neck. A look of terror appeared on Young Master Liu Yun's face as he threatened, "My father is a Fourth Realm expert! If you kill me, you're dead too!"

A cold light flashed in Lin Kuang's eyes as he began to circulate his spiritual energy, and the thunderclap sword began to radiate light.

The terror on Young Master Liu Yun's face intensified as he barked sharply, "If you kill me! My father..."

Without waiting for Young Master Liu Yun to finish, Lin Kuang swung his left hand, and the thunderclap sword pierced the other's chest. Fresh blood flowed down the blade.

Inside the Liuyun City Lord's Mansion, there was a blonde elder sister. The hem of her white shirt was tucked into her skirt, outlining a slender waist. Her long, shapely legs, clad in black stockings, were crossed as she sat by the pool.

"It seems you haven't changed those bad habits of yours!" the blonde beauty said gently, tilting her head.

"I know, I missed her too much! She's been gone for so long, and I only just found someone like you who resembles her," The Patriarch said affectionately, swirling his wine glass.

"Hahaha! So I'm just her Puppet, right?" The blonde beauty walked over and sat in front of The Patriarch, her rounded hips pressing the chair out of shape.

"No, you are more beautiful and gentler than she was. You are my one and only!" The Patriarch said tenderly, holding his wine glass and lifting the blonde beauty's chin.

The two smiled at each other and slowly began to get into the mood.

While the two were in the heat of the moment, the blessing lock on The Patriarch's chest suddenly shattered.

"Ah! My son?" The Patriarch stood up in a rage, knocking the blonde beauty to the ground.

He immediately formed hand seals and chanted an incantation, causing a massive rift to appear before him.

Young Master Liu Yun's blessing lock turned into a streak of red mist. Within the mist, a blurry figure faintly emerged. His features were indistinguishable, but a voice could be heard: "Fellow Daoist! Let's talk this over!"

Lin Kuang was greatly startled and looked up at the sky warily.

"Don't worry, this is just an external projection that only those in the Fourth Realm can manifest. In the end, it's just an illusion with no actual combat power."

"Just as his figure looks blurry to you, it's the same for him. You can only exchange words across the void! As for why it appeared, it's because there was a sliver of his Divine Sense inside Young Master Liu Yun," Yu Xiaotang explained calmly.

Once Lin Kuang understood, he ended Young Master Liu Yun's life without another word.

The Patriarch's projection seemed to sense his son's aura being extinguished. His eyes instantly became bloodshot as he roared loudly, "To kill a member of my Liu Family! You shall surely be cursed by me today! No matter where you flee to the ends of the earth, I will kill you on sight!"

"Old geezer! I'll be waiting!" Lin Kuang replied with a slight smile. Then, with a gentle sweep, he packed up all of Young Master Liu Yun's belongings and took them away.

Pei Yuhan would be coming in four days, so this old geezer was nothing to fear. For now, he just needed to enter the newly appeared Secret Realm to hide for a while.

Qiongming's Secret Realms were somewhat different from others in the Cultivation World. Low-level Secret Realms would collapse if high-level Cultivators entered. Lin Kuang felt this was a very well-designed feature, as it allowed one to hide inside at critical moments.

In Qiongming, every three realms marked a division, and Secret Realms were categorized the same way. Only those below the Third Realm could enter low-level Secret Realms.

The Patriarch's eyes flickered as he clenched his fists, muttering to himself, "Yun'er, even if it costs me my life, your father will avenge you!"

"What's wrong, Young Lord?" The blonde beauty, having no sense of the situation, chimed in at this moment.

Pfft—

With a gentle squeeze from The Patriarch, the blonde beauty's head fell to the ground.

"It's all your fault! For seducing me and causing my son's death!"

Immediately after, a small golden figure rushed out from The Patriarch's head, and the sky instantly turned gloomy.

"Blood Anchor Curse!" After he spoke, runes carrying essence blood appeared in the air, forming a massive golden ring. In that moment, the winds surged and thunder rumbled.

"Curse, Rise!" The Formation in the sky rotated, and countless golden lightning bolts connected, forming a strange triangle.

"Curse, Go!" the small figure shouted in the air, spitting another mouthful of fresh blood onto the Formation. The blood activated the Formation, turning the heavenly thunder blood-red before it merged into the triangle.

That pattern appeared above The Patriarch's head. As soon as it appeared, The Patriarch sensed Lin Kuang's aura nearby.

Lin Kuang felt his head grow heavy and he collapsed to his knees.

"What's wrong?" Yu Xiaotang supported Lin Kuang, her eyes full of worry.

"Quick! To the Secret Realm entrance!" Lin Kuang clutched his head and shouted.

Yu Xiaotang didn't know what had happened to Lin Kuang, but since they had just killed the Young Lord of Liuyun City, they would certainly be pursued. Entering the Secret Realm now was a good Opportunity.

She would send a transmission to her Family before entering; that way, they could make a clean getaway when they came out.

As Lin Kuang headed toward the Secret Realm, he felt another sharp pain in his head. Suddenly losing his balance, he fell. A triangle identical to the one over The Patriarch appeared above his head.

Yu Xiaotang exclaimed, "It seems we must hurry. The Patriarch did not hesitate to expend his Lifespan to curse you. As long as you are within a certain range of him, he can see your position."

"How much further to the Secret Realm?" Lin Kuang's expression darkened as he took out all the recovery Medicinal Pills and Talismans he had bought.

"Five minutes at full power! But we'll be..." Yu Xiaotang's face fell as she pointed at the Green Demon Vines.

He couldn't wait! Lin Kuang downed them all in one go and directly took Yu Xiaotang with him as he rushed toward the Secret Realm.

At the entrance of the Secret Realm, over a hundred Cultivators were gathered, but not a single one stepped forward to open it.

Newly opened Secret Realms were generally protected by a Formation that needed to be broken before one could enter.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, your Wu Family is the number one Family in the Southeast. Why don't you give it a try? The rest of us don't have life-saving Magic Treasures!" a woman in purple said, patting Wu's shoulder.

"That's right! Fellow Daoist Wu, you must think of the big picture. If you break the Formation, we'll let you be the first to enter!" a one-eyed man echoed.

"Exactly! Fellow Daoist Wu surely doesn't want to be looked down upon by Fellow Daoist Wang for the rest of his life!"

These Cultivators were very clever. Wu Neng was the least talented in the Wu Family, a fact that made him feel very inferior. Thus, he desperately needed an Opportunity to prove himself and win Fellow Daoist Wang's heart.

"Enough talk! Watch as I, Wu, break this Formation!" Wu Neng formed hand seals and chanted an incantation, and a white longsword shot out from between his brows.

The moment the longsword touched the Formation, a bolt of pink lightning traveled down the sword and blasted Wu Neng into ashes.

In an instant, all the Cultivators retreated. At that moment, the gate collapsed, and a teleportation portal appeared.

"Everyone! Fellow Daoist Wu used his life to open this Opportunity for us! We cannot let him down!" the one-eyed man was the first to step forward and shout, "I'm going in first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew into the Secret Realm, conveniently sweeping up Wu Neng's belongings as he went.

"How insidious! Taking his things the moment Fellow Daoist Wu died!" The purple-clad female Cultivator who had first persuaded Wu Neng stomped her foot and followed closely behind.

While the others were still hesitating, Lin Kuang flew in, bringing a large number of Green Demon Vines with him. To save their lives, they all flew inside as well.

"Found you!" The Patriarch's figure appeared in the sky, gathering power against Lin Kuang. A massive red Dragon roared as it pounced toward him.

"Not good!" Lin Kuang's hand had already touched the teleportation portal, but The Patriarch's attack had already appeared behind him.

Boom—
