96: The end of the Liu family

“How was it? Did Liu Zheng say where all those things were placed?”

Chu Tianyun had been guarding the door, and as soon as he saw Chu Tian come out, he eagerly asked.

“He did. They’re all in Mo Yun County.” Chu Tian nodded, then turned to glance into the prison. Liu Zheng had already closed his eyes, his face calm as he awaited his deserved end.

He didn’t tell Chu Tianyun that evidence of the Ye Family was also hidden there.

Too many eyes and ears.

Just like with his elder sister Chu Yunshang’s matter, some things only produce miraculous effects when brought out at the crucial moment.

“Mo Yun County, that’s the Ye Family’s territory. Liu Zheng truly is audacious. The Ye Family sent people to search every nook and cranny of the Sect and the Liu Family’s potential hiding places, but they probably never imagined that Liu Zheng would hide the items right under their noses.”

“He didn’t make any excessive demands, did he?” Chu Tianyun breathed a sigh of relief, then his gaze turned cold as he looked at Liu Zheng, his eyes filled with intense Killing Intent. For nearly a million years, no one who entered the Yanluo Temple had ever left.

Chu Tianyun still couldn’t understand how Liu Zheng had managed to find the evidence and the list of beings captured and brought into the Yanluo Temple throughout the generations.

Chu Tian took out a blood letter and handed it to Chu Tianyun, calmly stating, “Third Uncle, he is a very clever man; he wouldn’t speak such useless nonsense. Afterwards, bring Luo Yushan here as well, and let the couple go on their way together. Third Uncle, check it; if there are no hidden traces on it, give this blood letter to Liu Yun. Then the Law Enforcement Hall can inform the outside world of the Liu Family’s crimes, exterminate them, and then find an opportunity to announce the annulment of the engagement.”

“We must let everyone in the Sect know that for the Sect’s benefit, our Chu Family can righteously eliminate our own kin and will never act with favoritism.”

Chu Tianyun glanced at the blood letter and sneered, “This fellow, at the last moment, actually had a change of heart, realizing that only by pledging loyalty to my Chu Family could he save his daughter’s life. If he had known this earlier, why did he act as he did? To think he wanted to climb to power by stepping on my Chu Family’s corpses, he truly doesn’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth.”

Chu Tianyun immediately employed various Divine Abilities and secret arts, using all sorts of methods to examine the blood letter. Only after ensuring there were no hidden traces did he put it away.

“I’ll leave the rest to Third Uncle. As long as that little girl is sensible and obediently follows her father’s words in the blood letter, Third Uncle guarantees she can Cultivate peacefully and normally within the Sect.”

Chu Tianyun’s eyes were filled with Killing Intent. With a flip of his hand, the Chenxing White Tiger Blade appeared, and he turned to walk into the prison. The black-gold door slowly closed, and his voice came from within:

“Duanmu Rong’s little daughter is waiting for you outside the hall to go to Mo Yun County together. The investigation team has already been arranged and are all elites from the Four Halls, waiting for you at the foot of the mountain.”

At the last moment before the door closed, Chu Tian caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye: a ferocious white tiger roared, transforming into a sky-piercing blade light that tore Liu Zheng’s head into a bloody pulp.

A God King Realm expert’s Physical Body and Divine Soul have undergone extreme Nirvana sublimation. They can be Reborn from a single drop of blood, and ordinary means simply cannot kill them.

“Congratulations, Host, for reversing your Family’s destiny and eliminating the huge threat of the Liu Family. Rewarding 20,000 destiny points.”

“Congratulations, Host, for completely suppressing Liu Yun, the Daughter of Luck, causing a massive loss of her Luck. Her Innate Dao Body was broken, degenerating into an Innate Physique, and she is no longer the Daughter of Luck. Rewarding 50,000 destiny points.”

Chu Tian’s lips curved slightly, his face calm, as he walked towards the outside of the Yanluo Temple. At this moment, a prison door opened; it was the one from which a faint Dragon roar had just emanated. A dead soldier wearing a blood-red ghost mask walked out of it, respectfully saluted Chu Tian, and then walked deeper into the Yanluo Temple.

“Dragon Pearl.”

Chu Tian murmured to himself. Just now, he saw in the dead soldier’s hand a golden Dragon Pearl, the size of a baby’s fist, filled with blood-red Evil Qi. The golden Dragon blood staining it even exuded a powerful Dragon God’s might, but its contained power and profundity had been sealed by a secret art.

The Dragon Clan information Chu Tian King had taught him automatically appeared in his mind.

The Golden Dragon Clan, one of the strongest clans among the Dragon Clan, had produced three Dragon Emperors, and its Legacy spanned endless eons.

Among the Dragon Clan, only nine-clawed Golden Dragons at least could give birth to a Dragon Pearl. They were considered Prodigies with Dragon Emperor potential within the Dragon Clan.

This Dragon Pearl signified that at least a nine-clawed Golden Dragon who had ignited its Divine Fire had died in the prison.

Chu Tian looked at the not-yet-tightly-closed black-gold door and saw an enormous Dragon skeleton slowly sinking into a blood lake. The bones were riddled with holes, and a dense resentment, almost substantial,Entanglement around them. One couldn’t tell how much torment it had endured before dying.

The death of this Divine Dragon would likely provide more valuable information for the research of the top-tier Dragon-shaped Divine Ability within the Supreme Emperor Scripture.

If it had Cultivated normally, the limit of this nine-clawed Golden Dragon would have been at least the God King Realm. However, during its journey through the Myriad Worlds, it was targeted by the Chu Family and captured, brought back to the Yanluo Temple.

Chu Tian increasingly felt the cruelty hidden beneath the surface of this world.

The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive. A tiny mistake could lead to the loss of life, rendering all efforts futile.

For a million years, how many True Dragons had perished in this Yanluo Temple?

And there were probably no fewer than a hundred prisons in the Yanluo Temple. Besides the Dragon Clan, how many other unspeakable things were hidden within them?

Chu Tian shook his head, not delving deeper into such thoughts. For him at this moment, thinking about these things was a waste of time and energy.

As he walked, his mind stirred, and the System panel opened before his eyes.

“Supreme Secret Art Embryo.”

Chu Tian was stunned for a moment. In the original plot, there was no mention of a Supreme Secret Art. However, recalling the dog author who left the novel unfinished, he felt relieved.

When the dog author abandoned the novel, Ye Fan had just Broken through to Emperor Venerable, barely making it onto the Eternal Sky Ranking. He was far from reaching the Peak of the Myriad Worlds and probably hadn’t even come into contact with the Supreme Secret Art level.

“Ye Fan, even when you Break through to Emperor Venerable, you won’t be as good as me, let alone now.”

Cold light flickered in Chu Tian’s eyes. He had already learned from Third Uncle that, through the Elder Council’s mediation, Chu Tianyun had reached an agreement with the Ye Family not to harm Ye Fan’s life.

The plan to refine Ye Fan into a Medicinal Pill could not be implemented.

But he absolutely would not allow the powerful medicinal properties nurtured by those divine medicines and supreme treasures to remain within Ye Fan’s body.

“Calculating the time, Second Sister should have returned to the Sect. I need to have her deal with Ye Fan.”

“Lord of Deadly Poison, Hell Valley.”

Cold light flickered in Chu Tian’s eyes as he recalled the tragic end of his second sister, Chu Yueyao, in the original plot. A terrifying Killing Intent surged within him.

Tragedy must never repeat itself.
