125: Chapter 125 The Hunt Begins!

Senior Brother Liu's pupils constricted, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

Shen Yuanshan!

Shen Yuanhe!

The two Void Piercing Realm Elders of the Guangnan City Shen Family!

Just now at the entrance of the ruins, he had personally seen the aura they released when they stepped into the cave—Second Level Void Piercing Realm and Peak First Level Void Piercing Realm!

Powerhouses of this level were not someone he could afford to provoke.

"Elder... Elder Sun..." Senior Brother Liu swallowed hard, the arrogance on his face completely vanished, replaced by a face full of wariness. "Are these two members of your Shen Family?"

Shen Yuanshan did not answer his question. He simply walked slowly to Shen Chong's side, looked down at the blood at the corner of his mouth, and then glanced at the bluish-green longsword in his hand, his brow twitching slightly.

"The injuries are not light."

His voice was flat, revealing no emotion.

But it was this very flat tone that made Senior Brother Liu tremble all over, a chill rushing from his spine straight to his head.

"Elder Shen, it's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" Senior Brother Liu waved his hands hurriedly, a smile on his face that looked worse than crying. "We didn't know these two were from the Shen Family, otherwise we would never have dared to act!"

When under someone else's roof, one has no choice but to bow their head.

Though he was arrogant and held the status of a Tiangang Sect Disciple, he knew his limits when facing a Void Piercing Realm powerhouse.

This was an existence comparable to an Elder of their Tiangang Sect, not someone a Huahong Realm Disciple like him could offend.

"Didn't know?" Shen Yuanhe sneered and stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the Tiangang Sect Disciples. "You people from the Tiangang Sect beat up my Shen Family members on Guangnan City territory, and then tell me you didn't know?"

He paused, and the pressure of a Peak First Level Void Piercing Realm expert erupted like a massive mountain, weighing down so heavily that everyone present struggled to breathe.

"Does your Tiangang Sect really think our Shen Family is easy to bully?"

Senior Brother Liu's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down his forehead like rain.

Although he was at the Peak of the Huahong Realm and considered a Master among ordinary Cultivators, in front of a Void Piercing Realm powerhouse, he was nothing but an ant!

"Elder Shen, please appease your anger! Elder Shen, please appease your anger!" Senior Brother Liu cupped his hands repeatedly, his posture humble to the extreme. "We'll leave right now! We'll leave immediately! We won't dare to disturb you again!"

He turned around, preparing to flee.

"Stop."

Shen Yuanshan spoke indifferently.

Senior Brother Liu's footsteps abruptly halted, his entire body frozen as if a binding spell had been cast on him.

"You hit a member of my Shen Family and think you can just leave like that?"

Shen Yuanshan walked up to Senior Brother Liu and looked down at him, his eyes filled with coldness.

Senior Brother Liu trembled violently, his voice shaking: "Elder... Elder Shen, then what do you want?"

Shen Yuanshan didn't answer, but turned to look at Shen Chong: "Are your injuries heavy?"

Shen Chong shook his head, clutching his chest. Though his face was pale, his breath was relatively steady: "Third Elder, I'm fine, it's just a superficial wound."

"No, you are heavily injured!" Shen Yuanshan said with a grave expression.

Shen Chong was a bit anxious, "Third Elder, I really..."

Shen Yuanhe rushed to Shen Chong's side in a single stride. "Alright, since you're so heavily injured, speak less."

Shen Yuanshan withdrew his gaze and turned back to look at Senior Brother Liu. "You people from the Tiangang Sect injured a member of my Shen Family. This debt... should be properly settled, shouldn't it?"

Senior Brother Liu's face froze. He hurriedly pulled a Storage Pouch from his robes and held it out with both hands to Shen Yuanshan, his posture extremely humble.

"Senior! This is all a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding?" Shen Quan rubbed his bruised arm and poked his head out from behind Shen Yuanshan, his face full of mockery. "Seven or eight of you ganging up on the two of us, and you call that a misunderstanding?"

Senior Brother Liu's mouth twitched. Cold sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground with a faint sound.

"This... this..."

"Enough." Shen Yuanshan waved his hand, cutting off his excuses. "Stop talking nonsense. I've seen plenty of your Tiangang Sect people. From top to bottom, not a single one is any good."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over all the Tiangang Sect Disciples present, a flash of coldness in his eyes.

"Today, not a single one of you shall leave."

As soon as these words were spoken, Senior Brother Liu's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously gripped his longsword tighter.

The Tiangang Sect Disciples behind him were even more terrified, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. Some turned to run, some collapsed to the ground, and some desperately pulled out Distress Jade Talismans, wanting to crush them.

However—

Shen Yuanhe moved.

His figure flickered through the crowd like a ghost. Every time he struck, a Tiangang Sect Disciple fell to the ground.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Fist hitting flesh, the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible, accompanied by one scream after another.

In less than three breaths' time, the seven or eight Tiangang Sect Disciples were sprawled across the ground. Some were killed on the spot, some were at their last gasp, and some were still twitching.

Shen Yuanhe stopped and stood still, dusting off his palms before turning to look at Senior Brother Liu.

"Only you are left."

Senior Brother Liu's face was as pale as paper, and his entire body was shaking.

The veins on his hand holding the longsword bulged, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.

"You... you can't kill me! I am an Inner Sect Disciple of the Tiangang Sect! My Master is a Tiangang Sect Elder, a First Level Primal Chaos Realm powerhouse! If you kill me, my Master will not let you off!"

"First Level Primal Chaos Realm?" Shen Yuanshan raised an eyebrow, as if he had heard a funny joke. "How does your Master compare to Senior Brother Sun Zhengyang?"

Senior Brother Liu was stunned.

Senior Brother Sun Zhengyang?

That was an Outer Sect Elder of their Tiangang Sect, a Second Level Primal Chaos Realm powerhouse!

"Elder Sun's strength is profound; my Master naturally cannot compare..."

"Then your Master is even more useless."

Shen Yuanshan shook his head, too lazy to waste more words, and struck out with a palm.

The wind from the palm whistled as spiritual power transformed into a golden ribbon of light, heading straight for Senior Brother Liu's face!

Senior Brother Liu's pupils constricted. He tried his best to dodge, only to find his body locked firmly by an invisible force, unable to move at all!

"No—"

"Bang!"

The palm wind landed, and Senior Brother Liu was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and crashed heavily into the ruins thirty meters away, his chest caved in significantly, his breath completely gone.

Shen Yuanshan stood still, his gaze sweeping over the corpses on the ground without a hint of emotion.

"Old Sixth, destroy the evidence."

Shen Yuanhe nodded and took out a pitch-black jade bottle from his robes, dripping the dark red liquid onto each corpse in turn.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—"

The corpses rapidly corroded and dissolved, turning into pools of blood in the blink of an eye, which then seeped into the cracks in the stone floor, leaving nothing behind.

Watching this scene, Shen Quan couldn't help but swallow hard.

Was this still the Elder who was usually so kind and gentle?

"Third Elder, is it really okay to just kill Tiangang Sect people like this?" Shen Chong walked forward, his gaze sweeping across the ground, a look of worry on his face.

Shen Yuanshan turned and patted his shoulder, smiling: "Don't worry, someone will take the blame for us."

Before acting, he had already thought it through: the experts of the Guangnan City Zhao and Chen families, driven by greed for the treasures, killed the Tiangang Sect Disciples, inciting the Tiangang Sect's wrath and causing them to send powerhouses to wipe out the Zhao and Chen families...

Of course, this latter part... was merely his prediction.
