"What a disappointnt, too weak!"
Under countless stunned gazes, the hamr maiden casually rested the hamr on her shoulder and scratched her cheek:
"What was the saying again? Oh right, all show and no substance! This Earth Mole is just a shell, not even a tenth of an Ancient Demonic Beast’s strength!"
"Sigh, so boring!"
"Hey, you with the staff, I’ve done what I promised your master, tell her she can’t go back on her word to !"
"I’m leaving!"
The hamr maiden waved to Qin Gengyun, casually shouldered her hamr, and bounced away, her twin ponytails swaying as she left the Chang Mansion swiftly.
She ca like a flash and left like the wind, not taking a cloud with her, leaving behind only the groaning Earth Mole on the ground and a crowd of dazed people.
"Roar!!"
The Earth Mole rolled and struggled on the ground, unable to stand up for the mont, only howling at the sky in extre anger.
"I’ll eat you all!"
Turning its head, it saw that the female cultivators it hadn’t had ti to devour were already scooped up by Qin Gengyun and whisked away to a distance.
"Thank you, senior, for the rescue!"
"Thank you, senior!"
A few female cultivators gratefully saluted Qin Gengyun, then tearfully embraced their husbands or fathers who rushed over.
Si Minglan and Fang Xue were held in one arm by Qin Gengyun, feeling not much surprise, having been through more extraordinary things before. Fang Xue cupped her hands and said:
"Uncle Qin, thank you for saving once again."
Si Minglan, pale-faced, still teased Qin Gengyun: "My dear, if you save a few more tis, I’ll have to marry you."
Qin Gengyun quickly shook off her hand: "Senior Si, please show so respect."
Then he looked at Mo Xiaolan, who had escaped his embrace. Her single ponytail was disheveled, her plain white robe tattered and stained with blood.
Qin Gengyun’s eyes flashed with distress: "Taoist Friend Mo, I’m sorry, it was my fault for causing you suffering."
Mo Xiaolan brushed the strands of hair by her ear, revealing a smile on her pale face:
"I just wanted to see the outside world, how could it be your fault?"
Qin Gengyun looked at the baby girl in her arms. Amidst the chaos, the baby neither cried nor fussed, her eyes lively, leaving Qin Gengyun stunned:
"This is..."
Mo Xiaolan hurriedly explained: "This is the child of a Taoist friend born in the dungeon. She entrusted her to before she died!"
"I see." Qin Gengyun looked into the distance: "This child is truly adorable."
"Yes, yes indeed." Mo Xiaolan lowered her head.
Their gazes averted, creating an inexplicable awkward atmosphere.
Si Minglan, standing beside, held Fang Xue’s shoulder: "Tsk tsk, Xiaoxue, if you marry into the Qin family, you might only beco the fourth wife."
Fang Xue was about to speak when suddenly a scream sounded from behind.
It was Wen Yongchang, eyes red with anger, charging at the Earth Mole with his sword.
"Chang Shengzi, all my family respects you, yet you harm my wife! You’re worse than a beast!"
The Earth Mole, missing two horns on its head, glared viciously, raising a tree trunk-like hoof to kick Wen Yongchang dozens of ters away.
When he hit the ground, his body was broken, his mouth continuously spilling blood.
Wen Yongchang struggled to raise his hand, as if grasping for sothing.
"My dear, you look so beautiful wearing this hairpin..."
Finally, his hand fell powerless, his pupils dilated, as he sought his wife in the afterlife.
"Brother Yongchang!!"
Earlier, Zhou Yun, who had angrily rebuked Qin Gengyun with Wen Yongchang, now had red eyes and was on the verge of rage.
He had just recognized his wife among the corpses on the ground.
His wife’s na was Miao Haihui, childhood sweethearts. When they got married, the Miao family didn’t ask for any dowry, so Zhou Yun gifted her a white jade bracelet.
Miao Haihui treasured it, never taking it off her hand.
Even now, her spiritual energy and Primordial Yin drained, turned into a blackened corpse, the withered arm still wore the bracelet he gave her.
"My dear, I wrongly trusted the Chang family; I caused your demise, I caused your demise!!"
Zhou Yun, beat his chest and stomped his feet, hair disheveled, took one last look at his wife’s remains, raised his Long Sword, and rushed towards a nearby Chang family cultivator to kill!
Not half an incense stick’s ti ago, Zhou Yun and this Chang family cultivator were together chasing Qin Gengyun.
Yet now, they were life-and-death enemies!
"The Chang family deserves to die!"
The Chang family cultivator sneered coldly: "You vermin dare to cause trouble! Uh?"
Just as he finished speaking, a Long Sword pierced through his chest, the scene mirroring when Xue Yan was killed.
The cultivator turned back, eyes widened.
"Luo Wenzhi, you, you..."
The elegant and handso Luo Wenzhi, face full of tears, cried incessantly, yet his hand wielding the Long Sword was exceptionally powerful, suddenly withdrawing it, blood sprinkling his face, as he cried out:
"Waaah, fellow townsfolk of Xingluo Town! We revered the Chang family like gods, yet Chang Shengzi treats us like pigs and dogs! My wife’s body can’t even be found now, waaah, today, today..."
He raised his Long Sword, shouting:
"I’m rebelling against the Chang family! Who will join ?"
Zhou Yun shouted: "Rebel against the Chang family, kill everyone in it!"
Around them, the male cultivators who had lost wives and daughters echoed in agreent: "The Chang family is unrighteous, annihilate them!"
Even further away, the Xingluo Town villagers who had originally co to defend the Chang family, seeing the devastation, likewise shouted:
"The Chang family is unrighteous, annihilate them!"
Housekeeper Lu’s face was dark, shouting coldly: "You’ve rebelled! Kill them!"
Before he finished, he noticed dozens of his subordinates already fallen to the ground, then looked up in horror to see a circular Array suspended above him.
From the Array erged a hundred Long Swords.
"Hundred Sword Array?!"
Housekeeper Lu widened his eyes, looking at Qiu Zhihe in disbelief:
"You’re just a little Loose Cultivator, you know this Third-Grade Killing Array?!"
Qiu Zhihe seed to ignore him, casually pressing down, sending a hundred Long Swords shooting out simultaneously, Housekeeper Lu not even having ti to scream before being pierced into mince!
Evidently, Qiu Zhihe had been holding back to engage these people so that Qin Gengyun could face such a scene alone and gain experience for similar future situations.
Now, the hamr maiden had already battered Chang Shengzi, who had transford into the Earth Mole, half to death.
Her husband was about to face his first major trial after Foundation Establishnt, so she, as his wife, naturally needed to support him in battle.
"Susu!"
Qiu Zhihe called to Liu Su, who giggled and said:
"Coming, young lady!"
Above her head appeared a pale blue eyeball, its pupil opening, revealing a blinding light.
The Chang family cultivators surrounding her imdiately stiffened, over a dozen cultivators unable to move!
"What kind of demon technique is this?" everyone was horrified.
"Young lady, should I kill them?"
Liu Su waved and asked Qiu Zhihe.
Qiu Zhihe gave her a cold glance, and Liu Su oh-ed, muttering:
"Forgot, the second elder of the Chang family injured the young master, none of the Chang family should survive."
After speaking, her figure flickered, hands dancing, and monts later, the dozen or so Chang family cultivators all fell dead.
"Miss, wait for !"
After killing them, Liu Su hurriedly chased after Qiu Zhihe.
Qiu Zhihe moved swiftly, arriving behind Qin Gengyun, and faced Mo Xiaolan from afar.
The two won exchanged glances, nodding slightly.
"Taoist Friend Mo."
"Taoist Friend Qiu."
At this mont in the patriarch’s courtyard, the remaining dozen or so Chang family cultivators were already surrounded by the furious villagers of Xingluo Town, being hacked and slashed into a bloody ss.
This scene didn’t look like cultivator Magical Combat but rather a gang revenge, with a group of people wildly swinging swords without a hint of grace.
Qin Gengyun watched with a sense of resonance, nodding repeatedly: "Indeed, cultivators should fight like this."
"Husband, concentrate your spirit."
The voice of Qiu Zhihe ca from beside him.
"Yes, my wife!"
Qin Gengyun gathered his thoughts, holding the Heaven-Reaching Staff, looking forward.
The massive figure of the Earth Mole finally crawled up from the ground, its beast-like face twisted with rage, vertical pupils glowing with blood-red light.
"Today, all of you shall die."
