Bloody Kyoto

As Xiang Yicong left the palace, Han Yueze stood on a high place watching, a hint of pain in her eyes.

After this matter is resolved, it's uncertain how many of the six reclusive families will remain.

Recalling the past he saw through retrospection, his eyes were filled with desolation. There used to be eight great families.

The first family: the family of surnames, possessing a vast amount of advanced knowledge.

The second family: the Han family, a legitimate Xuanmen (Taoist sect).

The third family: the Yun family, specializing in divination.

The fourth family: the Zhao family, specializing in incantations and healing techniques.

The Fifth Family: The Yu Family, who control corpses.

The sixth family: the Mohist school, specializing in mechanical arts.

The seventh family: the Hua family, incense makers.

The eighth family: the Xiang family, specializing in ancient martial arts.

Of the eight major families, two have been removed, leaving six.

He took out two wooden plaques from his sleeve. One plaque was carved with flowers, and the other plaque was carved with a collection of multiple characters.

He stroked the carved wooden plaque and murmured, "Even if we spared some of you, you still withered away."

Their gaze then shifted to the wooden plaque with carved characters, and their eyes lit up with newfound interest.

Originally the most reclusive family, a clan of a hundred surnames, they gathered the heads of a hundred families and developed a weapon that could cause destruction to this world.

They are intelligent and powerful, but the things they create are not suitable for this world.

He looked up at a spot outside the palace and said, "The truly wise live in seclusion. That's good!"

"Keep it up, but never get any unwarranted ambitions."

Otherwise, he would take matters into his own hands and resolve the issue!

Late at night in a certain town.

Li Nanle walked out of a house. Through the open gate, he could see vines intertwined inside, and a strong smell of blood wafted out.

Li Weidong's lineage is annihilated!

After returning to her room and taking a shower, Li Nanle took out the list and crossed out Li Weidong's name.

After eating something, she left the space and traveled through the night to Tree Skull Mountain.

Tree Skull Mountain is located at the border between the Great Shang Dynasty and the Chen Kingdom, and it is a very peculiar mountain range.

The mountains are full of trees and strange rocks. Once inside, the sun is not visible, and all you can see when you look up is the dense foliage.

The mountain is called Tree Skull Mountain because of the shape of the trees and rocks.

Trees usually have straight trunks, but the trees here are different; they are twisted and crooked.

It doesn't look like a tree; it looks more like a vine.

In addition, there are stones, whether large or small, all of them have multiple holes, and none of them are solid.

Some of them look just like human skulls, which is especially creepy.

To avoid alerting the enemy, she didn't bother to research the area before coming to Tree Skull Mountain.

She was quite startled when she suddenly entered.

Before entering, the sun was shining brightly, warming my whole body.

Upon entering, everything went black, and a chill ran through her body. Coupled with the two enormous holes in front of her, she almost screamed out in alarm.

It was dark, and although it wasn't night yet, Li Nanle still took out a flashlight.

When she looked at the light, she was startled again, because the two huge holes looked even more eerie under the light.

He took a deep breath and went to examine the two holes in the boulder. He found that the space inside was very large, like an exquisitely carved house.

After admiring the natural house, she sat down against the boulder, placed her palms on the ground, and closed her eyes.

A moment later, her stray hairs flew up, followed by the trees within a kilometer radius swaying passionately.

A short while later, Li Nanle opened his eyes. The trees stopped swaying. He got up and walked in one direction.

After walking one kilometer, she communicated with the plants again, and then continued walking, walking another kilometer, and continuing to communicate with the plants.

After repeating this dozens of times, she was lifted up by the vines and floated in the air, smiling as she looked down at the houses in the valley below.

Tree Skull Mountain is vast, and finding the Yun family's ancestral land would be difficult for others, but for Li Nanle, who can communicate with plants, it's a piece of cake.

Looking at the Yun family's territory surrounded by lush trees, her smile widened.

Not a single one will escape.

When evening came, she left the space and dropped a mutated Vine seed.

With a smile on his lips, he leaned against a large tree, secretly activating his supernatural power to cultivate the Vajra Vine.

The Yun family seemed to have absolute trust in this place, as no one kept watch at night.

Naturally, no one noticed that the entire Yun family territory was being silently surrounded by Vajra Vine.

Li Nanle continued to channel his supernatural power until his body was about to collapse from exhaustion. The Yun family's territory was completely enveloped, including the airspace above.

If the Yun family members wanted to escape, the only options were to cut down the Vajra Vine and dig tunnels.

However, cutting down the Vajra Vine is not so easy, unless one has the skill level of the two masters beside Yunji.

He slipped into the space, quickly made himself some food, and then set an alarm.

She had used up too much of her power. Normally, she would have continued to use it up completely in order to increase her power.

But not today. She still needs to go out and collect heads. While they're sleeping, she needs to recover quickly so they don't wake up and run away.

Two hours later, at 1 a.m., the alarm clock rang. She suddenly opened her eyes, checked her superpowers, and found that they had mostly recovered, which was not bad.

Once outside the space, she noticed a room with lights on in the Yun family's territory through the Vajra Vine.

His brow furrowed slightly; had he discovered something?

After observing for a while, it didn't seem like they had discovered anything, because most people were still asleep.

If it were discovered, there would definitely be chaos.

In the darkness, one person carrying a lantern hurriedly led the way, while another person, dressed, jogged behind.

Upon arriving at the brightly lit house, the door opened, and the two entered.

As soon as they entered, the person leading the way scratched his head in confusion and muttered, "It seems unusually dark tonight."

"What black?" the old man sitting at the table in the room, fiddling with the Liuren compass, asked without looking up.

Upon hearing the question, the guide walked over to the old man and said, "Grandpa, I just feel it's quite dark."

The old man remained silent. The other man, a middle-aged man, finished dressing and said with a smile, "Third nephew, isn't what you're saying obvious? Isn't it dark or bright at night?"

"Hehe..." The third nephew chuckled and scratched the back of his head.

"Sixth Uncle, what brings you here in the middle of the night?" The middle-aged man sat down on a chair to the side, looking at the old man who was seriously fiddling with the Liuren divination plate.

The old man looked up, pointed to the Liuren compass, and said, "Try to perform a divination."

The middle-aged man was surprised. His sixth uncle's divination skills were superior to his own, so why would he let him do the divination?

Thinking this way, I still got up and went over.

"Sixth Uncle, what are you calculating?"

"The future of the Yun family!" The old man stood up from his chair with his hands behind his back, giving his seat to the middle-aged man.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at the old man with a puzzled expression. "Sixth Uncle, although divination and fortune-telling are different..."

But some rules remain the same. As a member of the Yun family, I really don't have the ability to predict my own family's future.

The old man frowned and pointed to his grandson beside him, "Then let's calculate the fate of your third nephew."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Okay."

The old man walked to the window, looked out into the darkness, and felt a turmoil in his mind.

He just had a dream in which the entire Yun family was wiped out.
