287: The Murong sisters break off relations

"I'm going to kill that bastard! I'll tear him into ten thousand pieces!" Murong Qiudi shrieked.

Seeing her eldest sister react like this, Murong Jiu's face was filled with disappointment.

She truly overestimates herself; does she not know her own strength?

Because of your overestimation, you brought a catastrophe upon the Murong Family, and yet you still show no remorse.

"Heh..."

Murong Jiu was completely disappointed in her sister. Even at this point, she still believed it was someone else's fault.

"You should leave. I don't want to see you again. From now on, the Murong Family consists of only Murong Qiudi alone."

"Everyone else in the Murong Family is dead." Murong Jiu looked soul-shattered, her voice devoid of any emotion.

"Duan Zhengchun, I, Murong Qiudi, will definitely kill you! I'll kill your whole family!" Murong Qiudi had fallen completely into madness.

The only thing she wanted to do now was kill Duan Zhengchun to prove she wasn't wrong.

I am not wrong; it is all of you who are wrong.

Murong Jiu didn't react to Murong Qiudi's outburst; she just silently began to collect the bodies of her family.

Did she not want to avenge her family? Of course she did, but she didn't have the strength for it.

At the very least, she would need to reach the Earth Immortal Realm and Cultivate the Fossil Divine Art to its highest Realm.

By then, she would have an indestructible body and would surely be able to avenge her family.

However, Cultivating the Fossil Divine Art to the highest Realm was easier said than done.

She didn't even know if she would ever have the chance to reach that level.

Because right now, she had only Cultivated to the third rotation. The Fossil Divine Art had nine rotations in total, and each one was far more difficult than the last.

Before reaching the ninth rotation and before reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, she couldn't go for revenge; otherwise, she would just be throwing her life away.

If she became as mad and brainless as her eldest sister, then the Murong Family would truly be finished.

Murong Qiudi left the Murong Family in a frenzy. She intended to unite the entire Tian Zun Organization to head to the Kingdom; even if she couldn't deal with Duan Zhengchun, she would kill everyone around him.

What Murong Qiudi and Murong Jiu didn't know was that their conversation and reactions were all witnessed by Duan Zhengchun.

Atop a distant pavilion, two figures stood. From this vantage point, everything happening at the Murong Family's residence was clearly visible.

"Prince, why did you leave them alive?" Moon Princess was curious, not knowing why Duan Zhengchun had done this.

"There's no particular reason. Don't you think doing it this way is very interesting?"

"The Murong Family's greatest Genius, Murong Jiu—this Prince also wants to see how far she can go."

"As for Murong Qiudi, she's just a madwoman, merely a Great Grandmaster Master."

"As long as Xie Xiaofeng doesn't make a move, this Prince doesn't plan to act personally either."

"Only like this does an invincible life become interesting."

"Moreover, it can give the people around me a chance to grow. Flowers in a greenhouse ultimately cannot withstand devastation."

"This Prince cannot protect them forever; they need to grow up on their own," Duan Zhengchun said calmly.

"What the Prince says makes sense. So, where are we going next?" Moon Princess nodded and looked at Duan Zhengchun.

"Let's leave the matters here to Old Hua. Have him keep an eye on Murong Jiu's movements."

"Although this Prince believes she is a smart person, it is precisely because she is smart that we must be on guard," Duan Zhengchun stated calmly.

Moon Princess's expression became strange. Since Murong Jiu was a smart person and after what happened today, she should know that revenge is hopeless.

Furthermore, Murong Zheng's final words before he died were for her not to seek revenge.

If she were truly smart, she shouldn't seek revenge against the Prince.

But why did the Prince say that the smarter someone is, the more one needs to be on guard?

What exactly was the situation? Why couldn't she figure out where the problem was?

"Understood. I'll notify Hua Manlou right away." Moon Princess nodded in agreement.

She would unconditionally execute any of Duan Zhengchun's orders.

On this day, a piece of news that shocked both the Song Dynasty Martial Arts World and the Martial World spread.

Suzhou's Swallows Nest in the Song Dynasty Martial Arts World had been wiped out. When it was discovered, the entire Swallows Nest was covered in corpses, and rumors suggested it was the work of the Tian Zun Organization.

Furthermore, the body of the Brocade Clad Guards Commander Ji Gang was also found at the scene.

At the same time, the Murong Family in the Martial World was also exterminated, with Murong Qiudi being the only survivor.

No traces of the culprit were found at the scene.

The Tian Zun Organization did not come forward to clarify the matter either.

In an instant, the fame of the Tian Zun Organization spread throughout the Jianghu.

Everyone in the Jianghu knew that the Tian Zun Organization was a powerful force that had risen in the last ten years, known for its incredibly ruthless methods.

They just didn't know how the Murong Family of Suzhou's Swallows Nest had offended the Tian Zun Organization to the point of being exterminated.

However, the bodies of Murong Fu and his mother were not found at the scene, only the corpses of some Jianghu people.

This gave rise to many speculations.

Some said that the descendants of Murong Bo from the Swallows Nest Murong Family were not dead but had been captured by the Tian Zun Organization.

The goal was to force Lady Wang to hand over the wealth accumulated by the Murong Family over the years.

Because after investigation, it was discovered that the Murong Family's treasury had been completely looted.

As for the Murong Family in the Martial World, there were no clues at all, because when they were discovered, the people of the Murong Family were already gone.

Aside from the bloodstains all over the ground, nothing could be found.

No one knew who had erected the gravestones for the people of the Murong Family.

The matter became a mystery.

As for the instigator of it all, Duan Zhengchun, he didn't care about the matter and instead headed toward Snow Moon City with Moon Princess.

It's time to collect the debt. Li Hanyi, did you think you could run away?

However, to get to Snow Moon City from the Martial World, one must pass through the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Many Jianghu events were happening here, and Duan Zhengchun was in no hurry.

He and Moon Princess traveled slowly, enjoying the scenery and leisure.

One day, as Duan Zhengchun and Moon Princess were about to leave the Martial World, they encountered an uninvited guest.

Looking at the person before him, Duan Zhengchun was somewhat surprised.

"Shangguan Haitang greets the Prince." Shangguan Haitang bowed to Duan Zhengchun with her hands cupped.

"Miss Shangguan, there's no need for such formalities. What business do you have with this Prince?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Shangguan Haitang with a half-smile.

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Shangguan Haitang was about to answer subconsciously when she realized something was wrong.

What did he just call her? Miss? Could it be that he knew her true identity?

That's impossible. At Dragon Guard Manor, she had always presented herself as a man.

Even her eldest brother Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao didn't know her identity; only her foster father knew.

Duan Zhengchun was far away in the Kingdom, so how could he possibly know her identity?

Or could it be that the Prince of Zhennan's methods had already reached such a powerful level?

That he could even know such a private matter about her?

"Prince Duan, did you perhaps misspeak? I am a man, not some miss," Shangguan Haitang said, her eyes flickering slightly.

Moon Princess also looked at Duan Zhengchun with a puzzled face. The person before them was clearly a man, so why would the Prince call them a miss?
