92: Chapter 92: Liu Ruyan's Purpose

Looking at the overwhelming rage and killing intent in Liu Ruyan's eyes, Liu Mingxiu was terrified to the extreme.

Today, he feared he truly would not escape death!

He immediately pleaded weakly, "Ru... Ruyan, please, I beg you, leave your father a way to live. Whatever you want, I can give it to you!"

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan’s soft red lips curled slightly.

Her trip back to the Family this time was first to kill Liu Mingxiu and then slowly annihilate the Liu Family to avenge the various humiliations she had suffered growing up in the Liu Family all these years.

Her childhood had been spent growing up almost entirely in fear and trepidation.

Second, she wanted to obtain the Liu Family's ancestral secret technique, [Shifting Form and Shadow].

This secret technique had been passed down in the Liu Family until now, but except for the deceased first-generation Old Ancestor of the Liu Family, no other clansman had been able to comprehend it to this day; they were simply a bunch of useless trash!

"Hand over the Shifting Form and Shadow secret technique, and I can spare your life."

Seeing a hope for survival, Liu Mingxiu’s cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, but he also showed a look of worry.

"Ruyan, after I hand over the secret technique, will you really detoxify me? I need a guarantee!"

Liu Ruyan’s voice was ice-cold, "You are in no position to negotiate with me. You can choose not to hand it over, but you will surely die today!"

Liu Mingxiu's heart skipped a beat, and he was enraged to the extreme, but he did not show it on the surface.

Fine, fine, fine. I will compromise with you for now. Once I find a way to detoxify myself, I will definitely subject you to all sorts of sexual humiliation and then brutally kill and dismember you!

He immediately put on the expression of a kind father, "Ruyan, I have raised you for over twenty years. For the sake of those decades of upbringing, I hope you can keep your promise. As the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring, I..."

"Enough!"

Liu Ruyan coldly interrupted Liu Mingxiu's nonsense.

"Don't talk this rubbish to me. I only want the Shifting Form and Shadow secret technique. If you don't tell me the location right now, I'll kill you immediately!"

Liu Mingxiu’s heart turned cold. Refusing to listen to reason, are we? I'll make you crawl and lick my boots later!

Curse it, didn't the eldest and third brothers say they were coming today to discuss the Gu Family matters with me? Why aren't they here yet? If they don't show up soon, I won't be able to hold on!

Buzz!

A spiritual light flashed in Liu Ruyan's jade-like hand, and a moon-white longsword appeared, pointing at Liu Mingxiu’s lower body.

"I'll give you one last breath of time. If you still don't tell me the location of the secret technique, I'll emasculate you!"

Liu Mingxiu broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. If he lost his manhood, living would truly be worse than death.

"I'll talk! In the Scripture Pavilion, behind the bookshelf at the far north end of the top floor, there is a hidden compartment. Rotate the second fake book from the bottom left corner of the bookshelf clockwise to open it. The Shifting Form and Shadow secret technique is inside!"

"If you dare to lie to me, you will die. Remember, only I can cure your poison!"

After Liu Ruyan finished her warning, she put away her sword, cast an isolating sound Restriction in the bedroom, walked out of the pavilion, and flew straight toward the Scripture Pavilion.

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Liu Mingxiu’s mouth.

...

Liu Family Mountain Gate.

At the foot of the mountain.

Gu Jing stepped onto the long staircase, walking toward the mountain gate entrance above at a leisurely pace.

With his current strength, he could have directly launched a devastating attack on the Liu Family from the sky.

However, he was worried the aftershocks might accidentally injure his four cousins hidden somewhere, and he feared the Liu Family would use them to blackmail him, leaving him in a dilemma.

Therefore, Gu Jing decided to use the mountain gate as an entry point, enter silently, and use Soul Searching Technique along the way to find out where his four cousins were being held. Once they were rescued, he would destroy the Liu Family.

"Who goes there? State your name. If you have no important business, leave quickly, or else our blades and swords won't be merciful!"

At the mountain gate entrance, among the four Liu Family members, a young man with white clothes and red hair spoke arrogantly.

Their clothing consisted of three in white and one in purple.

Three of the white-clothed youths were at the Qi Refining Tenth Level Great Circle, while the purple-clothed youth was at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage.

Gu Jing didn't stop. To avoid causing a commotion, he had already had the System hide his cultivation at the Qi Refining Tenth Level Great Circle.

His Divine Sense was currently expanded to its limit, and he had confirmed that only these four were guarding the vicinity.

Such being the case, things would be easy to handle~

Seeing that Gu Jing, at a mere Qi Refining level, dared to ignore their words, the three white-clothed youths immediately felt killing intent.

They all used the Object Manipulation Technique to control the longswords in their hands, launching three swords simultaneously at Gu Jing.

At this moment, the four of them looked at Gu Jing as if he were a dead man. With Gu Jing's cultivation, it would be impossible for him to dodge or block the sword manipulation of three Cultivators at the same Realm. He was doomed!

However, in the next moment, the three white-clothed youths were all shocked to find that the three longswords were returning at an even faster speed, shooting toward themselves!

The three of them hurriedly tried to forcibly control the Flying Swords through their blood-refined master-servant connection.

But no matter how much effort they exerted, the Flying Swords showed no reaction at all.

In the next second, the chests of the three were pierced by their own Life-bound Spiritual Swords, and their bodies fell straight to the ground, dead.

From the moment the three attacked to the moment Gu Jing activated his Tongming Sword Body to kill them in return, the process happened in a flash.

The purple-clothed Foundation Establishment clansman of the Liu Family watched this scene with utter disbelief.

Even with his Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, he couldn't kill three Qi Refining Tenth Level Cultivators so effortlessly!

He was definitely no match for this person!

Escape!!!

With that thought, the purple-clothed youth immediately fled on his sword, while simultaneously taking out a Signal flare from his sleeve, about to fire it—

However, all his movements suddenly froze. He stopped in place, unable to move an inch, as if he had been struck by a Freezing Spell.

It was Gu Jing who had used the Freezing Spell.

His figure flashed, appearing beside the purple-clothed youth, and he reached out his right hand, grabbing him by the crown of his head.

He performed the Soul Searching Technique.

As Gu Jing read his memories, the purple-clothed youth couldn't stop trembling and twitching, his eyes rolling back as foam came from his mouth.

When Gu Jing finished searching the memories, the purple-clothed youth began to crawl and roll on the ground like a three-year-old child, learning how to bark like a dog.

Woof, woof, woof~

Gu Jing frowned and kicked him off the nearby cliff.

Woof, woof, woof~

The final three barks echoed through the mountains as Gu Jing walked into the Liu Family mountain gate.

According to the purple-clothed youth's memories, his cousins were being held in a dungeon in the northeast corner of the mountainside.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Gu Jing did not plan to fly on his sword.

Instead, he chose a remote path and used Three Thousand Thunder Movements, racing toward his destination.

...

Boom!

With a loud bang, a delicate fiery-red figure burst through a window and fled toward the east at high speed.

It was Liu Ruyan.

She had just used various pre-prepared methods to sneak into the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion and, following Liu Mingxiu's instructions, rotated the second mechanism book from the bottom left of the northernmost bookshelf clockwise.

It turned out not to be a mechanism to open a hidden compartment, but a switch that triggered alarms and Restrictions!

The moment the alarm bells rang and the sealing Restriction sealed off the entire top floor, she, having been prepared, unhesitatingly activated the divine speed talisman in her hand, broke through the window at the last second, and escaped from the Scripture Pavilion.
