For ordinary people in the secular world, the concept of the Heavenly Dao Oath might not be understood, or even heard of.

But for Xu Shengqi, the young master of the Xu family, he is not unfamiliar.

Because this is the only thing that can restrain the practitioners hired by the family.

In order to prevent being backstabbed, all hired Body Tempering Realm cultivators will be required to swear an oath not to rebel against their master.

As for the realm above Transcendent Realm...

I'm sorry, they don't care about the things of secular families, so they are naturally not within the scope of being hired.

"Really?"

Xu Shengqi looked slightly excited.

He knew clearly the horror of the Heavenly Oath.

Once violated, one will be punished by heaven and die immediately.

In this world, even immortals dare not challenge the majesty of God.

If the man in front of him was truly willing to swear an oath to Heaven, then he wouldn't mind cooperating with him.

Who wants to die if they can live? And the man in front of me is right. People who are lustful will only feel that they don’t live long enough. No one wants to die young.

what?

Remnants of the Zhao family?

It has nothing to do with Xu Shengqi. Naturally, this matter will be handled by the family.

As long as I can go back alive today, it will be the best outcome.

The reason why his attitude changed drastically just now and he pointed at other people's noses and cursed the remnants of the Zhao family was because he instinctively believed that if he met someone from the Zhao family, he would definitely die.

You are about to die, why are you still so timid?

Wouldn't it be pleasant to curse a few more words before dying?

But now....

The situation is different!

"Of course!"

Zhao Mu took a sip of tea with a calm expression.

As for Yan Bingqing, there was a flash of doubt in her cold eyes at first, but then her cold gaze returned to normal, as if she understood the deeper meaning.

"I, Zhao Mu, hereby swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. As long as Xu..."

"Xu Shengqi!"

"As long as Xu Shengqi answers all my questions truthfully today, I will not touch him at all."

Boom~

As soon as he finished speaking, thunder roared in broad daylight.

This frightened Xu Shengqi, who was already nervous.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something was unreal.

The man before him had taken the Heavenly Oath so easily.

Doesn't that mean he doesn't have to die today?

and many more.....

What did he say his name was just now?

Zhao Mu?

Xu Shengqi felt that the name was very familiar. He looked up suddenly and stared at Zhao Mu intently:

"Are you the son of Zhao Zhenrong, the head of the Zhao family?"

"Not bad!"

"But wasn't it rumored that you colluded with the Demonic Path and were executed by the Xuantian Dao Sect? How could it be..."

"Does this have anything to do with what's going on between us?"

“No…it’s okay!”

Xu Shengqi shook his head hurriedly.

It really doesn’t matter. The reason I said those two extra words just now was because I was too shocked.

Because, according to the news sent back by his brother, Zhao Mu colluded with the demons, and together with the female demon, they have been killed by the Xuantian Taoist Sect.

A person who was clearly dead suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Who wouldn’t be surprised?

However, after knowing Zhao Mu's true identity, Xu Shengqi could understand why the other party was willing to let him go.

Because, compared to directly taking his life, the reason for the Zhao family's genocide and the news of the rest of the Zhao family members are more important to Zhao Mu.

After all, Zhao Mu’s parents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters are all alive.

"Okay, then I'll ask."

Zhao Mu put down his teacup and said calmly, "Tell me the reason for the Zhao family's demise and how many people were involved in it."

"The biggest reason for the Zhao family's demise is you, Zhao Mu."

"I?"

"Yes, a month ago, our Xu family received news that you, Zhao Mu, were colluding with the Demonic Path..."

Xu Shenghao began to narrate the reasons for the demise of the Zhao family.

After listening, Zhao Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Unexpectedly, the thing I was most worried about still happened.

Because the news of his collusion with the evil sect spread, the Zhao family instantly became the target of public criticism.

Although Xuantian Dao Sect did not give a clear conclusion.

But for things like this, it is better to believe it than not. Not to mention the connections the Zhao family has made in Xuantian Dao Sect, no one dared to get involved with anyone from the Zhao family again.

Disciples from other sects also avoided it if they could.

The four words "colluding with the devil" are almost synonymous with unforgivable sins in the righteous path.

Whoever touches it will die.

Without the assistance of this force.

The Zhao family was like a tiger without claws and fangs, completely unable to fight back.

The Xu family, the Qian family and other forces that were originally inferior to the Zhao family immediately became evil and took advantage of this opportunity to unite and divide the Zhao family.

And these people are extremely cruel.

Overnight, both the main branch of the Zhao family in Yuzhou City and its various branches were surrounded and killed, not even a cat was spared.

No wonder when he mentioned the name Zhao family to passersby in Yuzhou City before, those people would immediately run away from him in panic.

Because of that night when flames shot up into the sky and blood flowed like a river, tens of millions of people in Yuzhou City were terrified.

Of course, what Zhao Mu could not have imagined was...

When the Zhao family was in crisis, instead of uniting to face the outside world, they started an internal conflict.

Those branch families united to drive his father out of the position of head of the family.

This made Zhao Mu sigh: Human nature is so fucking ugly.

But he didn't care much about these things. After all, these trash people had received their comeuppance and were directly surrounded and killed by the Xu family, Qian family and others.

He didn't even care about the Zhao family, which was divided up by other forces, or even looked down on it.

All he cares about are his parents and family.

However, Xu Shengqi's description was a bit strange.

His father and two uncles actually fled Yuzhou City with their families before the Xu family and other forces launched an operation to wipe out the Zhao family.

This is hard to wrap your head around.

His father and two uncles are not prophets, so how could they sense the danger in advance?

"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

"what?"

"My parents fled Yuzhou City early!"

"No, of course not. My father said that someone might have warned Zhao Zhenrong, so he escaped first."

"possible?"

"No, I really didn't lie!"

Xu Shengqi felt his whole body crawl under Zhao Mu's gaze, but that was all he understood.

Oh, Xu Shengqi suddenly thought of something and immediately put his four fingers together with his fingertips pointing to the sky.

"Will the Heavenly Oath be of any use to a mortal like me?"

"If it works, I can immediately swear an oath to the heavens. If I break it, I will ask the heavens to strike me down."

"..."

Looking at Xu Shengqi's distressed expression, Zhao Mu roughly understood in his heart that he was probably not trying to be clever.

My parents are still alive.

This news finally put his heart at ease.

"So, where did my parents flee to?"

Zhao Mu continued to ask.

"How could I know this?"

Xu Shengqi said helplessly, "I only know that they left Yuzhou City from Wangjing Gate."

Wangjing Gate....

Zhao Mu raised his eyes slightly and looked into the distance.

Immediately, he slowly stood up and left the pavilion.

Call ~

Looking at Zhao Mu's gradually receding back, Xu Shengqi breathed heavily.

he....

survived.

However, at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow out of the corner of his eye.

Zhao Mu’s young wife?

Why hasn't she left yet?

Could it be...

"cheat......."

Before he could even say the word "liar", a white light swept across his neck.

Gululu~

In the canal not far away, there is another head with eyes wide open.

shuh~

Yan Bingqing sheathed his sword with an indifferent expression and murmured:

"What a fool!"
