Ready to strike again

The Qiu Family’s plight caused everyone present to fall silent, feeling a sense of powerlessness against such an enemy!

Ye Wen and Fairy Baihua looked grim, their killing intent towards Zhou Yuan growing even stronger.

“This child must not be allowed to live, nor can he be allowed to have any connection with the Zhou Family! Even if it means paying any price, he must be eliminated!”

At this moment, Ye Wen made up his mind completely, then crushed a jade slip.

This was a message jade slip of the Ye Family, and also a distress jade slip of the Ye Family.

When used by someone of Ye Wen’s cultivation, it was naturally even more terrifying!

Killing intent radiated from Ye Wen’s eyes; the recipient of his message was an elder of the Ye Family, whose cultivation was even higher than his own.

Moreover, this person possessed a special, top-tier Spiritual Weapon, capable of completely tracking a person based on scent, no matter how one disguised themselves, there was no escaping within a hundred-mile radius.

Ye Wen had roughly determined that this Zhou Yuan must possess a disguise technique, otherwise he wouldn’t be so difficult to find.

The day this external elder arrived would be the day of Zhou Yuan’s demise.

The three Old Ancestors of the Zhang Family, Liu Family, and Han Family all sighed simultaneously, feeling somewhat exhausted.

During this period, they had watched helplessly as their families declined day by day, yet they were powerless to change it, a feeling that was simply too painful.

But they were all Old Ancestors of a family and could not show their vulnerable side, which placed immense pressure on their hearts!

At this moment, they all clearly understood, what if they killed this Zhou Yuan?

Their four families were already destined for decline!

Everyone glanced at the Qiu Family, then shook their heads and returned to their respective families.

Zhou Yuan stood thousands of feet away, separated from the Qiu Family by several streets.

He didn't dwell on what was happening with the Qiu Family; in any case, it was enough to give them a headache!

Zhou Yuan decided to make another trip later.

Shearing wool was only fun when you targeted one person or one family and kept shearing!

Zhou Yuan took out a silk scroll, wrote a line of text on it, then found a street beggar and asked him to deliver it to the Qiu Family.

The beggar couldn't resist the temptation of a whole roasted chicken and agreed.

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly; he wanted to see if the Qiu Family would do as he said.

If they followed his instructions, he could temporarily spare the Qiu Family.

If they didn't follow his instructions, he would visit the Qiu Family again today!

The Qiu Family was a ruin, the defensive formation had vanished, and the faces of the Qiu Family disciples were filled with endless panic.

Even with the Patriarch and the Old Ancestor present, and with the defensive formation activated, they were almost wiped out!

This fear made them live in constant dread!

Qiu family Old Ancestor and Qiu He’s faces were pale, their eyes filled with both anger and helplessness!

The power of several sixth-tier Talismanic Incantations was not small; although they barely managed to resist, their bodies and meridians suffered severe damage!

Just then, a Qiu Family disciple, holding a silk scroll, ran over in a panic!

“Old Ancestor, Patriarch, this was just delivered by a beggar!”

That disciple had naturally seen the contents of the silk scroll, which was why his face was so terrified.

Qiu family Old Ancestor took it, and he and Qiu He looked at the silk scroll simultaneously!

“Behead Qiu Duoduo, and bring her head to the Spell Master Guild to offer sacrifices.”

“If you do as I say, I can temporarily spare your Qiu Family. Otherwise, I will visit the Qiu Family again tomorrow!”

“Don’t expect those two Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts to protect you; for the person I want to kill, what does Celestial Phenomenon Realm matter? They can’t stop me!”

This was the content on the silk scroll, without any signature, but it gave off a sense of overwhelming bloodlust.

Qiu family Old Ancestor’s eyes were filled with endless rage, and flames erupted from his palm, instantly turning the silk scroll to ashes!

“This is too much!”

Qiu family Old Ancestor spoke angrily, but then felt a wave of powerlessness.

Qiu He’s face was also extremely grim; Qiu Duoduo was his daughter, and although she wasn't a legitimate daughter, she was still his child!

Qiu He had two daughters: the eldest, Qiu Yilian, was legitimate and a key focus of the family’s cultivation, receiving many family resources.

It was precisely because of this that Qiu Duoduo felt neglected, and later, in a fit of pique, she joined the Spell Master Guild.

Sun Su did not place much importance on the concept of family; seeing Qiu Duoduo’s good aptitude and talent for cultivating Talismanic Incantations, she took her in as a disciple.

But the ultimate result was that with a single word from Qiu He, Qiu Duoduo returned to the Qiu Family and betrayed the Spell Master Guild!

Qiu He waved his hand, dismissing the disciple, his expression fluctuating between dark and light.

Currently, the Qiu Family only had a little over a hundred core disciples remaining; these were the Qiu Family’s foundation, and each one was exceptionally precious!

He would not kill Qiu Duoduo; even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs. If he truly did that, he would have no face to continue living in Danyang City.

The arrival of a silk scroll further panicked the already terrified Qiu Family members, and this matter also spread throughout the Qiu Family!

“Have you heard? Someone just sent a silk scroll to the family; it was sent by that person from the Spell Master Guild!”

“I just heard, they say the reason our Qiu Family is being targeted like this is all because of Qiu Duoduo; she betrayed the Spell Master Guild!”

“The Talismanic Incantation seems to say they want to use her head to mourn those Talisman Masters who were killed!”

“That little hussy, relying on being the Patriarch’s daughter, she flaunts her power in the Qiu Family; I’ve long found her an eyesore!”

“Isn’t that right? If it weren’t for her, how could our Qiu Family face such a great disaster!”

“Those who betray their trust are destined to come to no good end! This kind of daughter is a jinx; she should have died long ago!”

“She really should die. She always has a long face, as if the whole world owes her something. She’s a concubine’s daughter, yet she always tries to compete with the eldest young lady. It’s disgusting to watch!”

“Keep your voices down; I think I just saw her coming!”

At this moment, Qiu Duoduo was around the corner not far away, her face ashen, her body trembling incessantly!

Every word spoken by the Qiu Family members just now was like a knife, fiercely stabbing into her heart!

For the sake of her family, she had betrayed the Spell Master Guild; she had become a sinner of the Spell Master Guild.

But what did she get? After returning to the family, no one thought highly of her, and now she had become an eyesore and a thorn in the side of everyone in the family!

At this moment, Qiu Duoduo felt utterly disheartened; she walked through the Qiu Family like a walking corpse.

Zhou Yuan constantly observed the Qiu Family, and seeing no action from them, a cold sneer appeared on his lips!

He liked families with such backbone; he wanted to see how long they could last!

An hour later, there was still no movement from the Qiu Family.

Zhou Yuan looked at the distant Qiu Family, his expression growing colder. Since the Qiu Family didn't want this opportunity, he would take it back!

It seemed his words were still ineffective! Then he would give them something practical!
