70: The original owner was killed by 10 simp girls 2

Behind her, a man in green robes walked in slowly.

Xiao Fan.

With sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his temperament was ethereal, and his eyes held an indifference that looked down upon all living beings,

yet it transformed into endless tenderness when he looked at Ye Linger.

"Family Head Qin, this Junior, Xiao Fan, offers his greetings."

The two stood together, looking like a perfect couple.

The eyes of the ten sons and daughters of the Qin Family lit up instantly.

"Linger!"

Qin Poyue almost rushed over.

"Brother Xiao Fan!"

Qin Qingyue's eyes were filled with obsession.

Qin Jiuge watched this scene with cold eyes.

In the original plot, it was exactly today that the Original Owner's heart softened, starting the path to being squeezed dry step by step.

But now,

"You've come at just the right time."

Qin Jiuge smiled.

There was not a hint of warmth in that smile.

Ye Linger keenly sensed something was wrong,

but thinking that these ten simps of the Qin Family were completely under her control, she relaxed again.

"Uncle Qin, Brother Poyue said you might be reluctant to part with the dragon marrow golden elixir, but Linger truly needs this item to Breakthrough her Bottleneck,"

tears welled up in her eyes,

"if I cannot Breakthrough, the Cold Poison in my body will erupt, and then I'm afraid..."

She didn't continue, but her pitiful appearance already made Qin Poyue's heart ache intensely.

"Father!"

Qin Poyue fell to his knees with a thud,

"I beg of you! Just give it to Linger! Your son is willing to trade his life for it!"

"Trade your life for it?"

Qin Jiuge arched an eyebrow,

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

Qin Poyue did not hesitate.

"Good,"

Qin Jiuge nodded,

"then this seat shall fulfill your wish."

Before his voice could fade,

a flash of black light streaked past.

It was so fast that no one could react.

Qin Poyue's expression froze on his face.

He looked down and saw a bowl-sized hole in his chest.

His heart was gone.

"Brother Poyue!"

Ye Linger screamed.

The other children of the Qin Family were all stunned.

"The first one."

Qin Jiuge's voice was like cold ice from the Nine Nethers.

He held a still-beating heart in his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Bang!

A mist of blood exploded.

Qin Poyue's corpse slumped down,

his eyes still holding his obsession for Ye Linger.

"Father! Have you gone mad?!"

The second son, Qin Duanhai, roared and drew his sword.

His Sword Intent soared to the sky, and the Sword Intent Domain he had comprehended at sixteen instantly expanded.

But before Qin Jiuge, it was like paper.

"A Sword Bone Genius?"

Qin Jiuge took a step and appeared directly in front of Qin Duanhai,

"For the sake of a woman saying 'your Sword Bone is so special,' you wanted to gouge it out and gift it to her?"

He reached out and pressed his hand against Qin Duanhai's back.

Rip,

a Supreme Sword Bone, crystal clear as jade and swirling with Sword Qi, was forcibly pulled out.

"Ahhh—!!!"

Qin Duanhai let out a shrill scream.

"Since you love giving things away so much, why not give it to your father as an ornament."

Qin Jiuge casually stowed the Sword Bone away and then struck the crown of Qin Duanhai's head with his palm.

The skull shattered.

The headless corpse fell.

"The second one."

"No—!!!"

Ye Linger was truly panicked now.

She indeed liked Qin Poyue and Qin Duanhai,

she liked the way they were infatuated with her,

and she liked everything they unconditionally sacrificed.

"Uncle Qin, how... how can you be so cruel!"

"They are your own flesh and blood!"

Ye Linger's tears fell like rain, and her heartbroken appearance caused the remaining three sons' eyes to instantly turn red.

"Father! You've fallen into demonic ways!"

The third son, Qin Fentian, roared as the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire blazed around him.

The fourth son, Qin Zhen deep, fully activated his Indestructible Vajra Body, his blood and Qi surging like a dragon.

The fifth son, Qin Jingyun, summoned the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, the thunderous light illuminating the world.

The three of them attacked simultaneously, vowing to avenge their brother,

or rather, vowing to display their 'heroism' in front of Ye Linger.

"Like ants trying to shake a tree."

Qin Jiuge didn't even move.

He just raised his eyes and took a glance.

An invisible ripple spread out.

Qin Fentian's Vermilion Bird Divine Fire was extinguished.

Qin Zhen deep's Immortal Golden Body cracked apart.

Qin Jingyun's Nine Heavens Divine Thunder dissipated.

"Today, your father will teach you a lesson."

Qin Jiuge's voice echoed through the ancestral hall.

"simps do not die well."

He reached out and made a grasping motion in the air.

Qin Fentian's chest exploded, and a beating heart flew out.

The space between Qin Zhen deep's eyebrows split open, and a clump of golden Divine Soul Origin was extracted.

Qin Jingyun's skull shattered, and his Lightning Spiritual Root was forcibly stripped away.

The three corpses fell almost simultaneously.

Less than ten breaths had passed in total.

The five sons of the Qin Family were completely wiped out.

Ye Linger slumped to the ground, truly crying now.

It wasn't an act; she was truly heartbroken.

On her birthdays, Qin Poyue would search for rare treasures from all over the world just to win a smile from her.

Because of her saying she 'wanted to see a sword dance,' Qin Duanhai would stay up all night to create a set of peerless sword techniques.

Because she was afraid of the cold, Qin Fentian would use his divine fire to warm the courtyard where she lived year-round.

Qin Zhen deep would silently guard behind her, blocking all overt and covert attacks for her.

Qin Jingyun would stay by her side on rainy days, just because she said she was 'afraid of thunder.'

They truly loved her, loved her to their very bones.

Now, they were all dead.

Dead at the hands of their biological father.

"Why..."

Ye Linger raised her head, her eyes bloodshot,

"Qin Jiuge! They are your sons! How could you bring yourself to do this!"

Qin Jiuge smiled.

"The sons this seat has killed are more than the men you have ever seen."

He turned his head to look at the five daughters who were already scared silly.

"Next, it's your turn."

"Father! No!"

The eldest daughter, Qin Qingyue, screamed as she backed away.

She was finally afraid.

The father before her was terrifyingly strange.

That gaze, that Aura, those decisive and ruthless methods—

this was not their father who was kind to the point of being weak!

"Qingyue,"

Qin Jiuge approached step by step,

"just for Xiao Fan's words 'your eyes are so beautiful,' you wanted to gouge out your father's Divine Eyes for him, is that not so?"

"I... I..."

Qin Qingyue trembled all over.

"These Divine Eyes of your father's were obtained by your mother at the cost of her life from the God Burial Abyss."

Qin Jiuge's voice was very soft, yet every word was like a knife.

"Before your mother died, she said, 'If Qingyue Cultivates ocular arts in the future, these Divine Eyes can help her reach the Peak.'"

"And yet, you wanted to give them to a man you've known for less than three years?"

Qin Qingyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Her mother... that gentle woman had passed away when she was seven.

She had almost forgotten her mother's appearance.

"Father, I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong!"

Qin Qingyue knelt on the ground and wept bitterly,

"I shouldn't have—"

Before she could finish her sentence,

Qin Jiuge's hand was already pressed against her eyes.

Rip—

Those beautiful eyes, which had awakened the Ice Phoenix Bloodline, were forcibly gouged out.

"Since you don't want them, then don't have them."

Qin Qingyue screamed shrilly, rolling on the ground.

But Qin Jiuge did not kill her.

He turned to look at the second daughter, Qin Shuanghua.

"Shuanghua, you wanted to give the 'Primordial Formation Source,' the Foundation of the Family's Mountain-protecting Formation, to Xiao Fan so he could refine it into his Lifebound Treasure, is that not so?"

Qin Shuanghua's face was deathly pale:

"Father, I—"

"The Qin Family's Mountain-protecting Formation protects 37,644 clansmen, including 1,200 children and 800 elderly."

Qin Jiuge's voice was cold as iron.

"If the Formation is broken and foreign enemies invade, all these people will die."

"And you, for the sake of a promise to 'marry you as a concubine,' would gamble the lives of the entire clan?"

Qin Shuanghua slumped to the ground, unable to speak.

"As a concubine..."

Qin Jiuge smiled,

"A daughter of mine, Qin Jiuge, has actually become so lowly that she is delighted to be someone's concubine?"

He raised his hand.

The Formation talent Origin within Qin Shuanghua's body was forcibly stripped away.

Her cultivation instantly plummeted, dropping from the Nascent Soul directly to Qi Refining, and then she became a complete cripple.

"No... my cultivation... my Formations..."

Qin Shuanghua murmured to herself, acting as if she were insane.

Qin Jiuge didn't look at her again.

He looked at the third daughter, Qin Yurou.

"Yurou, you wanted to extract your own Medicinal Spirit Root to serve as a medicinal catalyst for Xiao Fan, is that not so?"

Qin Yurou nodded tremblingly:

"Father, Brother Xiao Fan, he..."

"Shut up."

Qin Jiuge interrupted her.

"Your Medicinal Spirit Root was condensed from the lifelong medicinal essence of your grandmother before she passed away,"

"she hoped the Qin Family would produce a medicinal Dao Immortal Venerable."

"And yet, you wanted to give it to a man who treats you like a tea-brewing maidservant?"

Qin Yurou was covered in tears:

"But Brother Xiao Fan said he would remember my kindness..."

"Remember your kindness?"

Qin Jiuge felt as if he had heard a great joke,

"He remembers the temperature of the tea you brew for him,"

"he remembers the age of the medicinal herbs you find for him,"

"but does he ever remember your birthday?"

"Has he ever asked if it hurt when you were injured?"

Qin Yurou was stunned.

Thinking back carefully... it seemed there truly was nothing like that.

Xiao Fan was always that gentle and jade-like person,

always accepting her kindness and then saying, 'Sister Yurou has worked hard.'

That was all.

"I..."

She opened her mouth but could not speak.

"Since you love sacrificing yourself so much,"

Qin Jiuge raised his hand,

"then sacrifice yourself to the end."

The Medicinal Spirit Root was forcibly extracted.

Qin Yurou slumped to the ground, her life force rapidly fading.

But Qin Jiuge left her with one breath.

To let her live and feel the pain of being a cripple.

The fourth daughter, Qin Xueluo, was already scared silly.

"Father, I don't want to anymore! I won't strip away my Zither Heart! I was wrong!"

She knelt and kowtowed, even breaking the skin on her forehead.

"Too late."

Qin Jiuge's hand pressed against her heart.

The Heavenly Melody Zither Heart was stripped away.

Qin Xueluo let out a scream and fainted.

Finally, it was the fifth daughter, Qin Mengdie.

This talented woman who knew all the ancient and modern secrets was currently trembling like a sieve.

"Father... I... I won't give the secret manual to Xiao Fan... I won't..."

She spoke incoherently.

"Mengdie, you are the smartest among your siblings,"

Qin Jiuge looked at her,

"you should know what the leakage of the Complete Manual of the 'Qin Clan's Archaic Secret Manual' means."

Qin Mengdie certainly knew.

It meant that the weaknesses of all the Qin Family's Cultivation Techniques would be known by outsiders.

It meant the Qin Family would become a target for all.

It meant the disaster of clan extermination.

"I... I was blinded by love..."

she cried.

"No,"

Qin Jiuge shook his head,

"you weren't blinded by love, you were just stupid."

He raised his hand and pressed it against Qin Mengdie's brow.

All memories regarding the Qin Family Secret Manual were forcibly erased.

Qin Mengdie's eyes became vacant as she turned into a simpleton.

At this point, of the five daughters of the Qin Family, one was dead and four were crippled.

The entire process had taken less than half a stick of incense's time.

Xiao Fan finally reacted.

He was initially shocked by Qin Jiuge's ruthlessness, but soon, rage consumed his reason.

Qin Qingyue—that affectionate woman who was willing to gouge out her father's eyes for him.

Qin Shuanghua—that Formation Genius who was willing to be his concubine.

Qin Yurou—that Medicinal Spirit Root girl who had brewed tea for him for three years.

Qin Xueluo—that musical Fairy who was ecstatic because of his words 'your zither music reminds me of home.'

Qin Mengdie—that talented woman who leaked her Family's secret manual for him.

All ruined.

Some dead, some crippled.

"Qin! Jiu! Ge!"

Xiao Fan's eyes turned red.

At first, he had indeed only been using them, but later he had truly fallen in love with them!

These five women should have spent the rest of their lives happily with him!

Now, all was ruined!

"I want you dead!"

Xiao Fan exploded.

His Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivation was released without reservation, and Dao Rhymes flowed around him—it was clearly some kind of ancient Legacy!

He threw a punch, and the world changed color!

This punch was enough to shatter mountains and rivers!

Then... Qin Jiuge extended a finger.

A gentle tap.

Xiao Fan's punch force shattered.

His entire body flew backward, smashing through the wall of the ancestral hall, and he spat out blood wildly.

"How is this possible?!"

Xiao Fan was horrified.

The Legacy he obtained clearly stated that Qin Jiuge's cultivation had already dropped to the Peak of the Tribulation Crossing Stage due to him giving up his Origin!

But that finger just now was at least of the True Immortal Rank!

"Surprised?"

Qin Jiuge walked slowly out of the ancestral hall and into the courtyard.

Ye Linger also followed him out, holding Qin Poyue's corpse and crying heart-wrenchingly.

"Qin Jiuge! Give me back Poyue! Give me back Duanhai! Give me back Fentian..."

Ye Linger called out the names one by one, and with each name she called, her heart ached more.

She truly liked these men!

She liked the way they were infatuated with her,

she liked their unconditional giving,

and she liked the sense of satisfaction from being the only thing in their eyes.

Now, it was all gone.

"Linger..."

Xiao Fan struggled to stand up and shielded Ye Linger behind him,

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

A look of determination flashed in his eyes.

Today, he must risk his life... "Qin Jiuge, do you know what kind of Legacy I have obtained?"

Xiao Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his Aura began to climb.

"The Legacy of the ancient Immortal Venerable 'Ling Tian'!"

"I am destined to rule this world and reach the absolute Peak!"

"You blocking me today is an act of defying heaven!"

Behind him, the phantom of an Immortal Venerable's Dharma Image manifested, its pressure overwhelming the world.
