Emperor Qiankun

A few months ago, a young man named Zhao Sheng accompanied Chen Zixuan from the Chen family to Heishan Town and then stepped into the Chen family mansion.

A few days later, the Chen family attacked the shops, mines and other properties owned by the other two major families in Heishan Town - the Li family and the Yang family - without any warning.

There were also businesses of all sizes from other families in the town, which launched a series of swift and violent actions, carrying out strong suppression and large-scale plundering.

As the old and large families in Heishan Town, the Li and Yang families have always been the powerful forces in this land. How could they willingly swallow such a loss?

So, the Li and Yang families acted decisively and quickly united, gathering most of the elite warriors from both families and marching towards the Chen family in a mighty procession to seek justice.

But who could have expected that that day would be the beginning of a nightmare for the two families.

Only one young man came out of the Chen family, Zhao Sheng.

With his own strength, he killed most of the warriors from the Yang and Li families who came to ask for punishment as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. The blood dyed the land in front of the Chen family mansion red, and screams and wails resounded through the sky!

Speaking of this, Gusu Rou was overwhelmed with grief, tears glistening in her eyes, as if she could see through the curtain of time and truly see the tragic scenes of the past vividly reappearing before her eyes.

When Li Qingyuan heard this, he thought to himself: It seems that Zhao Sheng must be a cultivator in the Earthly Demon Realm, but it is not clear at which level he is in the Earthly Demon Realm.

......

After Gusu Rou calmed down a little, she continued slowly.

After that day, Zhao Sheng led a group of people from the Chen family and attacked the Li family's mansion with great momentum.

They were like hungry wolves, running rampant in the Li family's house, smashing things and beating people.

They turned the Li family's house upside down and looted all the valuables and treasures in the treasury.

The entire Li family mansion fell into chaos and panic.

Gusu Rou also mentioned that fortunately Li Changtian had foresight and made preparations in advance.

When the chaos came, the women in the mansion were hidden in a secret tunnel in advance, which allowed them to escape the disaster by chance.

As for the men in the Li family, their fate was tragic. All of them were captured and forced to do forced labor.

Li Changtian and several respected elders also failed to escape the disaster.

Among them, Li Muqiu's father, Li Sen, the eldest elder of the Li family, was unfortunately stabbed in the chest by Zhao Sheng during the confrontation and died on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Li Muqiu, who had been listening silently, trembled suddenly and tears instantly burst out of his eyes like a broken dam.

Seeing this, Su Yaoyue and Gu Yuyan rushed forward, hugged her tightly, and comforted her softly.

......

Gusu Rou continued, saying that the Yang family had also suffered a devastating disaster, with heavy casualties within the family, including the death of two elders.

The male members of the Yang family were also captured and forced to do forced labor, including the head of the Yang family and others.

Many female family members were also forcibly abducted, and this trip is likely to be dangerous.

At this point, Gusu Rou couldn't help but sigh and continued her story.

After this battle, the Chen family effortlessly became the only big family in Heishan Town, and controlled the discourse power and resources of the entire town.

Later, the Chen family became ambitious and attempted to build large-scale projects to demonstrate their authority.

He then mobilized all the people and warriors in the city, forcing them to work day and night to build Black Mountain City and the majestic and magnificent City Lord's Mansion.

Since that turbulent moment, Heishan Town has been completely transformed and became Heishan City under the rule of the Chen family.

And from then on, the Chen family became the only king in this city!

Zhao Sheng, with his extraordinary strength and ruthless methods, became the king of kings, holding the power of life and death, and making the people in the city fear him like a tiger.

......

Li Qingyuan clenched his fists, his heart burning with worry. He quickly asked, "Mom, where are Dad and the others now? What's going on?"

Gusu Rou replied worriedly, "After they completed the construction of Black Mountain City, they were ruthlessly imprisoned by the Chen family in the prison of the City Lord's Mansion. Now, whether they are dead or alive, mother has no idea."

Gusu Rou looked at Li Qingyuan with a worried look on her face, and said earnestly, "Yuan'er, listen to your mother's advice. Leave this troubled place as soon as possible!"

"Never take unnecessary risks and throw your life away in vain."

"Go and ask for help. Find the experts from the Heavenly Sword Sect and ask them to come and rescue your father."

She knew very well how powerful Zhao Sheng was. Even Li Changtian was beaten by him without any chance to fight back.

She really couldn't bear to watch Li Qingyuan go to his death, and only hoped that he could fly away and have a chance of survival.

"Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on. You're weak now, so it's best to rest well first."

Li Qingyuan comforted his mother softly, and as he spoke, he gently helped Gusu Rou up and carefully placed her on a relatively clean and tidy chair nearby.

Then, Li Qingyuan quickly took out a small bottle of spiritual dew from the space ring, gently pulled out the cork, and handed the spiritual liquid that emitted a soft light and a fresh breath to Gusu Rou's lips, asking her to drink it slowly.

He frowned slightly, his brain working rapidly, and began to think about his next move.

......

At this moment, Chen Lingyu's face was filled with anxiety, and he asked eagerly, "Third brother, what do you say? Just do it?"

Seeing Chen Lingyu's eager look, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but think in his heart: This guy is really a warmonger!

However, to be fair, he himself was also filled with pent-up anger, and urgently needed to find a way to vent it!

So, after Li Qingyuan pondered for a moment, he finally nodded and said in a deep voice: "Well, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to find out what's going on."

Hearing this, Chen Lingyu's eyes suddenly lit up and he became excited and ready to go.

......

At this time, Gusu Rou's body gradually recovered some vitality under the nourishment of Lingyuan Jinglu.

She slowly stood up and waved to Li Qingyuan and others, indicating that they should follow her.

Everyone followed Gusu Rou through the courtyard and into a seemingly ordinary house.

After entering the house, Gusu Rou walked to an inconspicuous bookshelf in the corner and reached out to gently turn one of the books.

"Long!"

There was a slight sound of a mechanism, and a secret door appeared in the ground that was originally tightly closed.

Hidden here is a secret tunnel leading to the outside world.

This tunnel was built very cleverly, and the entrance was very hidden. If you were not familiar with the inside story, it would be difficult to detect its existence.

Even if it were Li Qingyuan himself, it would be difficult for him to find the location of this tunnel without Gusu Rou's guidance.

Gusu Rou explained softly that this tunnel was secretly built by Li Changtian many years ago to deal with emergencies, and he didn't expect it to come in handy this time.
