After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

"Hehehe... How about it, you've fallen into my hands after all? Today I'll make you bastards wish you were dead, to comfort my grandson's spirit in heaven."

These are your nephews. Should I kill them one by one, or kill them all at once? Before you die, I want you to taste the pain of losing a loved one.

Having finally broken through all of Xu Qinghe and the others' defensive formations, Liu Qingshan did not immediately take their lives, but instead planned to give them a good beating first.

Seeing that the sword in the other's hand was already aimed at the Xu brothers, who were already unconscious, Xu Qinghe cried out in pain.

"You bastard, it was Liu Dongfang who acted like a scoundrel. He was the one who tried to kill me for no reason. I was just trying to protect myself."

And you, Ancestor Mingde, you're here aiding and abetting evil, helping outsiders kill your own disciples. Aren't you afraid my grandmaster won't let you off the hook if he finds out?

Upon hearing Xu Qinghe threaten him with the Eastern Lin Ancestor, the Mingde Ancestor gave him a look as if he were a dead man before speaking with a cold smile.

"Hehe, I'm really not afraid of that old bastard from Donglin."

So what if his cultivation level is one rank higher than mine? It's nothing special.

Besides, you're going to die here today anyway, and that old scoundrel Donglin will never know you're dying because of me.

Afterwards, Ancestor Mingde looked at the somewhat deranged Liu Qingshan and reprimanded him with a slightly impatient tone: "Alright, Old Liu, let's get started. Don't drag this out and cause unnecessary trouble."

Being lectured in such a tone by the much younger Nan De Patriarch didn't embarrass Liu Qingshan at all. Instead, he bowed obsequiously and nodded.

"Yes, Brother Nande, I will send these people on their way."

After saying that, Liu Qingshan gathered spiritual power in his right hand and waved it towards Xu Qinghe and the others.

Xu Qinghe closed his eyes helplessly. He knew he couldn't escape today, but it was a pity that he would implicate his two nephews.

With a loud bang, Xu Qing was surprised to find that she was still alive. She opened her eyes in disbelief and saw her older sister and brother-in-law standing in front of her.

Xu Shuyi and her brother were facing off against Nan De Lao Zu and his group, while Liu Qingshan, who had just been clamoring to grind him to dust, was lying silently on the ground.

"Big sister, Dafu, you've finally arrived! Quickly check on Shunuo and the others; they've been unconscious for quite some time," Xu Qinghe said, choking back tears.

Without him saying anything, Xu Qingman and her husband had already knelt down to check the children's injuries.

After the examination, Xu Qingman and her husband breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the children were only unconscious due to insufficient spiritual energy, and there was no need to worry about any damage to their health.

Seeing that the child was alright, the couple finally had the mind to ask what had happened.

"Qinghe, what's going on? I think that guy over there is from your sect, right?"

"Sister, I'm sorry, Shu Nuo and the others are all because of me."

Xu Qinghe apologized to his sister first, then gritted his teeth and continued, "That person is indeed from the Nine Yang Sect, and is an elder within the sect."

The one who died was named Liu Qingshan. Do you remember Liu Dongfang from two hundred years ago? This man was Liu Dongfang's great-grandfather and the head of the Liu family.

This person somehow found out that Liu Dongfang died at my hands, so he brought the Liu family's elite troops, along with Liu Dongfang's master and senior brother, to specifically follow us in the secret realm.

Once they discovered that our group had arrived at this remote location, they immediately launched their attack.

Xu Qingman nodded in understanding after listening, and said to Xu Qinghe, "Qinghe, since this person is from your sect, you decide whether or not to let him go."

Xu Qinghe immediately shook his head, "No, don't let him go. He tried to kill me first, and he almost killed Shu Nuo and the others."

"Xu Qinghe, how dare you! I am your senior uncle. As a disciple of the Nine Yang Sect, you actually colluded with outsiders to kill a sect elder. Aren't you afraid of being found out?"

Upon hearing that Xu Qinghe actually wanted his life, Ancestor Mingde panicked and shouted without regard for anything else.

He could tell that three of the four people were at the Void Realm, and if they were determined to kill him, he would have no chance of escaping.

“Junior Brother Qinghe, please ask them to let me and Master go. We were tricked by that scoundrel Liu Qingshan. He told us that you killed your fellow disciples without cause, which is why we took action.”

Seeing that Liu Qinghe ignored Mingde Patriarch's words, Bai Haonan, Liu Dongfang's senior brother, also became anxious.

Seeing that Xu Qinghe remained unmoved, Ancestor Mingde hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Qinghe, I am your martial uncle, you can't kill me. If you spare me today, I will definitely remember your favor."

Think about it, there are so many disciples in the Nine Yang Sect, and your master isn't even the most favored disciple of the Supreme Elder, Donglin Ancestor. He can't even allocate many resources to himself, let alone you.

"So, when we return to the sect, I'll give you 10% of the resources under my name—not 30%, 50% is fine too, as long as you're willing to let me off the hook."

Despite his seemingly kind words, what the Mingde Ancestor was really thinking was: "You little brat, you actually want to kill me."

"I'm an elder of the Enforcement Hall, in charge of insignificant people like you. Once I return to my sect, I'll make sure you die a horrible death."

No matter how sweet their words were, Xu Qinghe ignored them and let Xu Shuyi and her brother send him to the underworld.

After eliminating everyone and cleaning up any possible clues, Xu Qingman and her husband quickly led the entire Xu family away from there.

To avoid trouble, they even used several top-tier teleportation scrolls in succession.

At this time, the Nine Yang Sect.

At this moment, the Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the Soul Lamp was preparing to take a nap.

To their astonishment, they discovered that Elder Mingde of the Law Enforcement Hall and his eldest disciple had both disappeared one after the other.

With such a big incident, how could he possibly sleep? He hurriedly scrambled to the sect leader to report the news.

"What? You mean Bai Haonan's soul lamp went out?"

Upon hearing the junior disciple's report, Sect Master Taiwu Zhenren was so frightened that he stood up.

Seeing the sect leader's face turn ashen, the young cultivator trembled and replied, "Yes, sect leader, and his master, Ancestor Mingde, was the same. However, their soul lamps were extinguished in the blink of an eye."

Did you bring their soul lamps?

"Yes, I brought it."

After receiving the soul lamp and confirming its contents, Taiwu Zhenren finally gave up hope.

Taiwu Zhen waved for the young cultivator to leave, pressed his aching head, and sighed deeply. He was truly incredibly unlucky; he had only been in charge of the sect for less than a century, and yet such a terrible thing had happened.

It's alright if Ancestor Mingde dies. The Nine Yang Sect doesn't have much else, but it has forty or fifty people at the Void Realm. Losing one or two won't be a major blow.

The worst part is that Bai Haonan is also dead. Although he was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, his identity was extraordinary.

Others may not know, but I know very well what's going to happen now.
