709: Su Qingge, full of contrast

Night deepened.

The ink-dark sky, like a colossal curtain, enveloped the entire city.

"As long as Qingge is safe, next... it's time to deal with the Huo Family..."

"I need to act quickly, Qingge is still waiting for me to come home..."

...

Lin Xuan looked around, carefully taking out the box containing the ocean heart necklace from his pocket, gently caressing it, his eyes filled with tenderness.

This ocean heart carried his immense love for Su Qingge.

Lin Xuan looked forward to seeing the surprised expression on his wife's face when she saw it.

Then, he carefully put the box away again and took out an exquisite, ancient-looking mask from his embrace.

The mask was made entirely of a strange material, displaying a faint, eerie blue, with complex and mysterious patterns carved upon it.

Those patterns seemed alive, gleaming with a cold luster under the moonlight.

This mask was a system reward Lin Xuan had recently acquired; it had the effect of concealing one's aura and transforming one's presence, making it a rare treasure... Lin Xuan gently put the mask on his face.

In an instant, his aura abruptly changed.

His originally gentle and refined demeanor instantly receded, replaced by a mysterious and stern presence...

"Huo Family... I hope you know what's good for you, otherwise..."

...

Lin Xuan muttered to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Immediately, he flickered, like a black lightning bolt, instantly merging into the night and speeding towards the Huo Family's direction... As the only immortal cultivator in the world.

Lin Xuan possessed extraordinary methods beyond ordinary people's imagination.

With a light tap of his foot, he could briefly fly through the air, moving with the speed of a phantom.

During his flight, a faint glow of spiritual power enveloped him, drawing a brilliant trajectory in the darkness.

Wherever he passed, the air seemed to be torn, emitting a subtle sound...

"Huo Family... Huo Qichen..."

"If you truly participated in this matter, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Tonight, I don't mind letting you witness what true... despair is!!!"

...

Lin Xuan's voice was low and cold.

The corners of his mouth under the mask curled slightly, revealing a chilling smile... On the other side.

The night was deep, and the silent, abandoned village was like a gloomy ghost domain.

Moonlight spilled down, casting a pale veil over this desolate place, reflecting the scattered corpses on the ground.

Some corpses stared with wide, unseeing eyes, their fear seemingly frozen on their faces.

Others had their chests pierced, blood long dried, forming pools of dark red on the ground, gleaming with an eerie light under the moonlight.

Mutilated limbs were scattered everywhere.

The smell of blood permeated the air, thick enough to be nauseating.

In this deathly silence, a stunningly beautiful girl stood quietly.

She wore a blood-stained dress, its hem covered in blood, like a spider lily blooming in a sea of blood.

Her originally beautiful face now looked somewhat terrifying due to the bloodstains.

In her hand, she clutched a bloody dagger, blood still dripping from its blade, falling at her feet with a faint "drip-drop" sound... She stared at her recently hung-up phone, her gaze gradually softening, the corners of her mouth curving slightly into a dazed, silly smile, immersed in the memory of her call with Lin Xuan...

"A Xuan... he called me..."

...

Su Qingge murmured softly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze, completely out of place with the surrounding bloody and terrifying scene, appearing extremely eerie.

A sickly flush appeared on her face, her eyes filled with infatuation and happiness...

"He just said... he had a surprise for me..."

"What could it be? I'm so excited..."

"No matter what it is, as long as it's from A Xuan... I'll love it..."

...

Su Qingge's face was radiant with a happy smile, like a girl deeply in love.

However, combined with the terrifying bloodstains on her face and the corpses all over the ground, the entire scene appeared extremely bizarre...
