After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Finally, they arrived at the backyard.

From a distance, one could see Zhou's father and mother confronting a group of powerful monks.

Father Zhou's face was solemn, and he held a long sword tightly in his hand. Although he had several wounds on his body, there was no fear on his face, and he stood upright.

Although blood slowly seeped out of the wound, staining his clothes red, he still stood like a towering mountain.

Zhou's mother stood beside Zhou's father, also holding a long sword in her hand. Although her figure was thin, she did not retreat at all.

Her eyes were full of determination as she fought side by side with Zhou's father.

The monks all had ferocious looks on their faces and exuded a powerful aura of oppression. They surrounded Zhou's father and mother like a group of hungry wolves staring at their prey.

At this time, the head of the Li family walked out from the crowd. He raised his head and laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of ridicule and pride.

"Haha, Zhou Chengtian, aren't you like a tyrant in Gubo City? Don't you want to trample our Li family under your feet? Why are you so embarrassed today?" Li Xiong showed a ferocious smile on his face, and his eyes flashed with the pleasure of revenge.

Father Zhou looked coldly at the head of the Li family, his voice low and powerful, "Li Xiong, you still can't change your ability to talk nonsense. It is your Li family that has committed evil in Gubo City. I will follow the will of the people and drive you out."

"You harbored vengeance against my Zhou family for this, launching numerous sneak attacks. Now, you're colluding with evil cultivators to annex our Zhou family."

Father Zhou's brows darkened, his voice filled with anger, "Aren't you afraid of retribution for cooperating with evil cultivators?"

At this moment, Nan Qiao heard the word "evil cultivator" and became alert instantly.

Her spiritual sense quickly scanned the crowd, and soon she noticed two evil cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.

The two evil cultivators exuded a strange aura, and their eyes revealed viciousness and evil.

Their presence made the atmosphere in the entire backyard even more tense and depressing.

Nan Qiao frowned slightly and thought to himself: The strength of these two evil cultivators should not be underestimated. It seems that this battle will be even more difficult.

But no matter what, she couldn't put Zhou's father and mother in danger.

"Retribution? Retribution only exists in your Zhou family!" Li Xiong glanced at Zhou's father and mother and continued, "Today is the end of your Zhou family. From tomorrow on, all your assets and resources will belong to our Li family. All your former glory will vanish into thin air!"

Mother Zhou gripped the sword tightly in her hand and glared at Li Xiong: "You, the Li family, are so despicable. Sooner or later, you will be punished."

However, Li Xiong didn't take it seriously. He laughed again, and the laughter was particularly harsh in the quiet backyard.

Li Xiong showed a cruel smile on his face, "You are still so stubborn and ignorant of your own life, right?"

"These two evil seniors are powerful Yuanying cultivators, while you are only at the late Jindan stage. In front of these two seniors, crushing you to death is as easy as crushing an ant."

"However, you can't die so easily. I want you to die in agony. I will slowly burn you with ghost fire, and you will die in endless pain. Hahahaha..."

"So, are you scared now? If so, kneel down and kowtow to me, begging for my forgiveness. I might even show mercy and let you become a running dog for the evil cultivator, and still save your life!"

Zhou's father and mother tightly grasped the long sword in their hands, with a look of determination on their faces.

They knew that they had almost no chance of winning against the evil cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage, but they would never surrender easily.

Father Zhou said loudly: "Even if we die, we will not let you succeed."

Zhou's mother also echoed firmly: "That's right, our Zhou family will never bow to evil."

"Stubborn!" Li Xiong was completely enraged by them. He waved his hand fiercely and ordered the evil cultivators behind him, "Seniors, these two are making a lot of noise. Please take action to deal with them."

"Since they are so fearless, let them be slowly tortured to death by the will-o'-the-wisp fire. I wonder how long they can keep their stubbornness!"

The two evil cultivators nodded slightly, a bloodthirsty gleam in their eyes.

They slowly raised their hands, and strange black flames condensed in their palms.

The flames exuded a chilling aura, as if they could devour everything.

The air around seemed to become distorted because of the appearance of the ghost fire.

The atmosphere in the backyard was extremely tense, as if a storm was about to come.

Under the control of the evil cultivator, the two balls of ghost fire slowly floated towards Zhou's father and mother, and the shadow of death enveloped them.

At the critical moment when the two balls of ghost fire were about to devour Zhou's father and mother, a powerful spiritual power roared in like a surging wave.

The black flames disappeared without a trace in an instant under the impact of the powerful spiritual power.

Immediately afterwards, a ray of light flashed, and Nan Qiao brought Zhou Zimo and landed in front of Zhou's father and mother.

Nan Qiao exuded a powerful aura of oppression, and her eyes were as cold as a sharp sword, shooting straight at the two evil cultivators and Li Xiong.

Zhou Zimo looked at his parents anxiously, his concern evident in his words.

Mother Zhou looked at Zhou Zimo, her eyes filled with anxiety and heartache. "Zimo, why did you come back at this time? You should have run away. As long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood."

Zhou Zimo held his mother's hand tightly and said firmly, "Mother, I can't abandon you. We are a family. We live together and die together."

Father Zhou nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "I asked Zimo to come back."

"As members of the Zhou family, we must fight and die for them at this critical moment. We cannot escape this. This is our responsibility."

Nan Qiao looked at the determined expressions of their family and felt a surge of admiration in her heart.

She raised her chin slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you."

The two evil cultivators looked at Nan Qiao and the others, with a hint of hesitation in their eyes.

They felt Nan Qiao's powerful strength and also found out that Nan Qiao was in the early Nascent Soul stage. They began to wonder whether to continue the battle.

Li Xiong was unwilling to give up. He shouted, "Seniors, don't be frightened by her. We have many people and we will definitely defeat them."

The evil cultivators exchanged glances, thinking, "Even if they were both in the early Nascent Soul stage, so what? She was alone, while they were two, both extremely lethal evil cultivators. Why would they be afraid of a little girl?"

Thinking of this, he raised the evil power in his hand again, with a gloomy face, ready to launch an attack.

Seeing this, Li Xiong felt relieved. He looked at Nan Qiao and snorted coldly, "Two more of you are here to die. You will both die here today!"

For the first time, Nan Qiao felt no fear at all. He stepped forward and protected everyone behind him. His voice was cold and firm: "As long as I'm here, no one can hurt them!"
