Lu Qing knew that within these burning Soul Lamps, there was a wisp of Divine Split stored.
Only those in the Primordial Spirit Realm of the Gongshu Family, along with its most exceptional mbers, were qualified to produce a Soul Lamp by splitting their Divine Split, which would then be enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Swish!
As Lu Qing surveyed the surroundings, a shadow suddenly flew out from nowhere, its aura unbelievably restrained, holding a short sword, and attacking Lu Qing; in the blink of an eye, it was already behind him.
However, Lu Qing seed to have expected this, lightly pointing his finger backward.
A streak of Sword Qi was emitted, piercing through the Spiritual Artifact short sword in the shadow’s hand, along with his body.
"Cough, cough..."
The shadow’s attack was thwarted, and he fell to the ground, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.
He was revealed to be an elder clad in black, with sparse hair and a face full of wrinkles.
"Truly deserving of a Noble Family, even an ancestral hall is guarded by a Primordial Spirit Realm expert, but from today, your Gongshu Family will be completely erased from the Heavenly Origin Great World,"
Lu Qing turned around to look at the elder and said calmly.
"Who exactly are you? What deep hatred do you have with my Gongshu Family that compels you to destroy our entire family?"
The black-clad elder slumped on the ground, lifted his head, and stared intently at Lu Qing.
Having been struck by Lu Qing’s Sword Qi, his Primordial Spirit was already beginning to dissipate, ensuring his imminent death.
However, before his death, there was sothing he couldn’t comprehend, and unless clarified, he wouldn’t die in peace.
Hence, he mustered his last breath to demand an answer from Lu Qing.
"There’s no great enmity; I simply find you displeasing," Lu Qing replied with an unchanged expression.
"Just because of this?"
The black-clad elder’s eyes widened drastically, unable to accept this answer.
He couldn’t accept that their great family, which had existed for hundreds of thousands of years and dominated a region in the Heavenly Origin Great World, was annihilated for such an absurd reason.
"For the true reason, go ask in Hell."
Lu Qing flicked his fingers, sending out a wisp of Sword Qi to eradicate the elder’s last sliver of vitality.
Then, collecting the storage Magical Treasure from the black-clad elder, Lu Qing glanced around once more.
This ti, however, he was too indifferent to identify the owners of these Soul Lamps, and with a thought, innurable Sword Qi ford around him, expanding outward as a storm, slicing everything it encountered.
The Sword Qi that Lu Qing commanded was terrifying.
Even though the ancestral hall and those Soul Lamps were protected by Array Formation Restrictions,
in the face of his fearso Sword Qi, they were like paper, shattering upon touch, utterly useless.
BOOM!
In just a few breaths, countless cracks appeared on the entire ancestral hall, which then exploded into pieces.
While those spirit tablets and Soul Lamps were completely obliterated.
This also signified that the ancestors of the Gongshu Family, along with the black-clad elder, thoroughly fell with no chance of resurrection.
With the destruction of the ancestral hall, Lu Qing’s figure once again faded away.
By the ti he reappeared, he was standing before a towering mountain peak.
This mountain peak was where the elder with crane-like white hair and a youthful face usually secluded himself in ditation.
From his Primordial Spirit mories, Lu Qing further discovered that the largest Treasure Vault of the Gongshu Family was also hidden within the mountain.
Lu Qing brought his two fingers together, releasing a strike of Sword Qi.
Where the Sword Qi traveled, everything was cleaved apart, and the mighty mountain was split open by his single sword strike, revealing the treasure vault hidden inside the mountain belly, shimring with the light of an Array.
From the elder’s mories, Lu Qing learned that families with longstanding traditions have their rules and regulations; even as the Clan Leader, one cannot appropriate all of the family’s resources for oneself.
Therefore, this treasure vault existed before him.
Within the vault, most of the foundation accumulated by the Gongshu Family over hundreds of thousands of years was stored.
Seeing the gleaming Array light atop the treasure vault, Lu Qing did not imdiately choose to dismantle it.
Instead, he transford into a giant glazed palm brimming with multicolored light and grabbed at the treasure vault.
BOOM!
The next mont, the earth’s veins were severed, and the rocks shattered.
The treasure vault, as grand as a palace, was torn directly from the belly of the mountain by the Glazed Giant Palm!
Such a shocking scene left the remaining living Gongshu Family mbers within the inner city trembling even more fiercely as they desperately sought to hide themselves.
Faced with that terrifying Evil Demon, they truly had no ability to resist.
Lu Qing paid no heed to the weak Gongshu Family mbers, observing the treasure vault he had retrieved, he thought of sothing.
The Qiankun One Qi Bag at his waist suddenly flew out, growing larger with the wind, and in the span of a breath, it beca larger than the mountain, swallowing the treasure vault whole.
Then it returned to its original size and fell back into his hand.
The Qiankun One Qi Bag, as a low-grade Spirit Artifact, did not possess any offensive capabilities in Lu Qing’s hands.
However, with its vast internal space, it was perfectly suited for collecting this treasure vault.
After storing away the treasure vault, Lu Qing’s figure appeared briefly, arriving before another mountain peak.
Apart from the main vault of the Gongshu Family, other mountain peaks where different branches of the direct lineage lived also contained treasure vaults.
Just like the vault of the second branch of the direct lineage, which he looted back then, it had brought him significant gains; how could Lu Qing overlook that?
In the following ti, Lu Qing employed the sa thod to collect all the other branch vaults into the Qiankun One Qi Bag.
The entire process was very smooth; no one dared to co forth and stop him anymore.
Having completed all this, Lu Qing transford into a streak of light again, reaching the sky above.
He closed his eyes slightly, releasing his heart and spirit to sense the situation within the inner city.
A few breaths later, he opened his eyes, suddenly slicing out dozens of sword strikes.
Each strike targeted different positions within the inner city.
Where the Sword Qi reached, everything was obliterated.
"Not good, run!"
"Ah!"
"Spare us..."
"You Evil Demon, you’ll die a miserable death!"
As the Sword Qi descended, several Primordial Spirit Realm auras and nurous Golden Core Realm auras suddenly erupted, then dissipated in a very short ti.
Under Lu Qing’s Sword Qi, they t their end.
Having done all this, Lu Qing cast an indifferent glance at the Zhou Tian City below; with a ripple of Spatial Power, his figure vanished from the spot again.
Seeing Lu Qing’s disappearance, Zhou Tian City remained in deathly silence.
Everyone stayed fearfully in place, not daring to make any move.
For fear that the terrifying presence might return and casually slay them too.
It wasn’t until a long ti had passed, with no sign of Lu Qing reappearing and his aura fading from the city, that a commotion gradually arose within.
"Clan Leader, what should we do now?"
In the outer city, soone asked their Clan Leader.
"You ask , who should I ask?"
The Clan Leader glared at that guy.
He was rely a minor Golden Core Ninth Turn, how could he dare to get involved in such a deadly affair?
"Clan Leader, what I an is, now that the Primordial Spirit Realm and Golden Core Realm mbers of the Gongshu Family are dead, and there are no more powerful figures in the inner city, shouldn’t we do sothing?"
That person cautiously reminded.
"You’re saying..."
The Clan Leader’s eyes brightened.
They were a small family affiliated with the Gongshu Family, barely establishing a foothold in Zhou Tian City under the ostensible protection of the Gongshu Family.
But similarly, the Gongshu Family was notoriously parasitic.
Every year, they had to pay hefty tributes to maintain their position.
But even with this, the Gongshu Family’s greed led them to demand increasingly heavier tributes each year.
In recent years, it had beco unbearably burdenso.
There had long been grievances within the family about this.
But circumstances were stronger than people; facing a colossus like the Gongshu Family, there was simply no room for resistance.
Even thinking of moving out of Zhou Tian City to other places was unfeasible.
Because doing so would inevitably incur the Gongshu Family’s thunderous punishnt.
Originally, they thought that their family would be drained dry by the Gongshu Family, with its foundation exhausted, becoming slaves ultimately.
Unexpectedly, the Gongshu Family sohow provoked such a terrifying existence.
Just one person almost exterminated the Gongshu Family’s Primordial Spirit Realm and Golden Core Realm mbers.
Now, isn’t this the best chance to break free from the Gongshu Family?
However, before leaving, they should reclaim everything the Gongshu Family had squeezed out of the family over the years!
The Clan Leader of the small family, enlightened,
felt a bold idea sprouting in his heart as he perceived the unrest in the city and the long-disappeared Array Formation Light Screen in the inner city.
