The God of War is killing like crazy

The people around were talking, and Si Ying heard it.

"The Gong family has been selecting children with single spiritual roots recently. Which one is this?"

"Oh, that's right. I don't know what happened. After those children went in, we never heard from them again. I don't know whether they are alive or dead."

After hearing this, Si Ying roughly understood the situation, so when she was about to walk over, she saw the Taoist couple who had been staying at the little boy's house before, stood up and stopped the people from the palace. The man in the lead must have run out of patience, and without saying a word, he started fighting with the Taoist couple. Except for one who stayed to hold the boy, the others also joined the fight.

Their fighting style was very tricky and their attacks were ruthless. Soon the Taoist couple on the opposite side were defeated and knocked to the ground. However, the people from the palace did not stop at this time, but went forward directly to take the lives of the two.

Seeing this, Si Ying took decisive action.

She quickly stepped forward and kicked the man who was about to attack the Taoist couple. The man flew out in a parabola. Seeing this, the other people stopped dealing with the couple and quickly attacked Si Ying. It was obvious that they were well-trained in their moves. They were ruthless and decisive, and every move was aimed at Si Ying's vital points.

However, they were all easily resolved by Si Ying. Si Ying played with them like a cat playing with a mouse. In the end, they were so tired that their formation was in chaos. Seeing that there were too many people watching, Si Ying stopped playing with them and kicked them all away with a few moves. Then she ran to the monk who was planning to run away with the boy, snatched the boy away, and kicked him away as well.

Si Ying put the boy down, turned around and picked up the leading subordinate sent by the palace and took him away directly.

She flew on her sword and brought the man out of the city in an instant, hung him on a tree, then pasted a truth talisman on him and began to ask him why he captured the boy.

The power of the truth talisman was so great that the man had no choice but to speak.

So Si Ying soon found out what had happened.

The Gong family is a famous immortal cultivation family in Xuanling City, ranked among the top three. However, the legitimate son of the current head of the Gong family has three spiritual roots: water, earth, and wood.

In a sect of immortal cultivation, he could only be an outer disciple. Even if he worked hard, he could only be an inner disciple at best, which was the limit.

The Gong family would naturally not watch their eldest son continue like this, as this concerns the lifeblood of their family.

So the head of the Gong family tried many methods, including giving his eldest son a top-grade marrow cleansing pill, but it only changed his triple spiritual roots of water, earth and wood into dual spiritual roots of water and wood.

If this was just a member of the Gong family, it would be enough. The key is that this is the legitimate son of the head of the family, and the head of the Gong family plans to let him succeed him as the next head of the family.

In order for the family to continue to prosper in the city, the head of the Gong family got a secret method from somewhere to exchange spiritual roots for others.

Find those children with a single spiritual root, and use the secret method to transfer his spiritual root to your own son.

Such a secret method that goes against the will of heaven is naturally a forbidden technique and is not recognized. Therefore, the head of the Gong family has recently forced ordinary people and poor families in the city to bring their children to test their spiritual roots on a large scale. The Gong family captured many children from poor families with single spiritual roots, and then kept trying the secret technique. Of course, the results all failed, and those children were turned from single spiritual roots into ordinary mortals who could never again practice immortal cultivation.

Knowing everything, Si Ying naturally wouldn't just let it go. She brought that man directly to the Gong family, kicked the door and made a scene, and straight away demanded that the head of the Gong family come out.

Of course, despite being so loud and powerful, she did not forget to cast a spell to conceal her appearance and voice. After all, the old guys in the sect were waiting to catch her and Master Lieyang doing something wrong, and she did not want to implicate Master Lieyang because of her chivalrous behavior.

When the head of the Gong family came out, he saw a young girl grabbing his right-hand man. The guards around him were all knocked to the ground, wriggling in pain like bugs.

The head of the Gong family was immediately angry. A yellow-haired girl actually came to provoke the Gong family like this. He yelled and hit her. The late Mahayana cultivation came at him, and it was obvious that the head of the Gong family was so angry that he wanted to slap Si Ying to death.

But he was destined to be disappointed. He struck with all his strength, but Si Ying didn't even move a hair. She just stood there with such arrogance.

Patriarch Gong: ...

After all, he didn't know the word awkward.

Si Ying looked at him, murderous intent flashing in her eyes. She held back again and asked, "Master Gong, where did you get such a vicious technique? Since you are already a Mahayana cultivator, you must know what kind of cause and effect will be involved in interrupting someone's immortal path. You can't afford the consequences."

When Patriarch Gong first heard Si Ying speak, he was planning to play dumb, but in the end he realized that Si Ying already knew everything.

He also knew that he had hit a wall today and could not beat Si Ying, so he gave up struggling.

He said, "The foundation of the Gong family cannot be destroyed. It is not easy for a cultivator to have children. I only have this one legitimate son. I must help him become a strong man and continue the glory of the Gong family."

"Haha." Si Ying said sarcastically: "For the glory of your family, you can sacrifice other people's children. What do they have to do with your Gong family? Have you ever helped them at all? There is no effect without cause. No matter how many children you capture, the magic will not work, unless..."

The head of the Gong family finally understood why he failed despite capturing so many children. He had never helped those people and had no good karma with those families, so naturally there would be no good results.

But when he heard Si Ying's words that there seemed to be a solution, his eyes lit up, and he quickly promised Si Ying many benefits and asked her to speak quickly.

Si Ying did not keep the topic in suspense and said directly that the only way was for him to exchange his single spiritual root with his legitimate son, which might have a certain chance of success.

The head of the Gong family fell silent. He knew that if he failed, he would become a useless person, and even if he succeeded, he would still be a mortal.

If he became a mortal, his life would be very short. But now he is in his prime and has reached the late Mahayana stage. He should have no problem living another seven or eight hundred years or even a thousand years.

Why should I exchange my spiritual roots for my son?

People are selfish. The head of the Gong family sacrificed so many young children for his legitimate son without blinking an eye. When it came to sacrificing himself, he hesitated for a moment and then decisively refused.

Si Ying sneered in her heart, ha, see, this is human nature. Cold-blooded people are cold-blooded even to their own flesh and blood relatives.

As long as it does not harm their own interests, anyone can act righteous and fearless. Once it really comes to the time when they need to make sacrifices, they will seek benefits and avoid harm, and consider themselves.

Especially in this world of cultivating immortals, that is why the original owner was so grateful to his master, True Man Lieyang. He treated the original owner a hundred times better than some fathers treat their own children.

Si Ying asked the head of the Gong family where he got the secret technique. The head of the Gong family's eyes flickered and he said vaguely that it was given to him by a great god. Si Ying naturally didn't believe it and directly used the soul-searching technique to check. Then she found out that it was actually an elder of the Tianyang Sect of the original owner.

Sure enough, there was a problem.

Si Ying left in a hurry after resolving the affairs of the Gong family. After all, the head of the Gong family was in the Mahayana stage, so the original owner's cultivation was naturally not enough. Si Ying used her own strength, and her soul was damaged. Now she was forcibly using her soul power. Her soul, which had just gotten better, felt a little uncomfortable again. She planned to quickly collect spiritual herbs and treasures to recuperate her soul.

As for the Gong family, she destroyed the secret technique and the head of the Gong family's memory of the contents of the secret technique. The head of the Gong family has done so many things that go against the great principles of the Dao, and it won't be long before thunder from the sky strikes, and he won't live for many years.

So at that time, if he was willing to give his spiritual roots to his legitimate son, perhaps the Gong family could really continue to be glorious. However, it was obvious that he cared more about himself, so he missed the opportunity.

The Gong family is not far from decline and destruction.

Soon, there will no longer be a Gong family in Xuanling City.
