61: He is a sacrifice

Wang Junlin heard the voices behind him and was so scared he nearly fainted.

He slowly turned around to look behind him, only to see Xun Xiuyuan sitting on the sofa outside the door at some unknown time, watching him standing in the bedroom.

With an incredulous look in his eyes, he asked loudly, his lips trembling, “Xun Xiuyuan?”

“It’s no use shouting louder, they can’t hear you, don’t worry! I’ll ask you a few questions, and once you answer them, I’ll let you go find them.”

Xun Xiuyuan had controlled the Heaven and Earth power within the entire room, so no sound from inside could be heard from the outside.

Xun Xiuyuan enveloped Wang Junlin with Heaven and Earth power, and a powerful pressure bore down on Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin, who had been standing, grew increasingly tired until he could only kneel on the ground.

As for the students on the bed, they had already fainted.

“Where is my maternal grandfather?” Xun Xiuyuan asked calmly.

Seeing Xun Xiuyuan mention his maternal grandfather, Wang Junlin immediately perked up a bit. He still had a hostage, so he didn't need to be afraid of him.

“I’ve already sent your maternal grandfather to Jiaolong City. If you know what’s good for you, you’d best release me. There’s still room for negotiation regarding your maternal grandfather’s matter,” Wang Junlin said, looking up.

It was as if, even kneeling, he was still high and mighty, and looking up made him seem tougher.

Xun Xiuyuan ignored Wang Junli’s words and continued to ask calmly, “What about my mother?”

Wang Junlin looked at the calm Xun Xiuyuan, feeling a little afraid, and quickly said, “Your mother was rescued.”

Xun Xiuyuan saw that Wang Junlin’s statement was consistent with Xie Yao’s, knowing that his mother had indeed been rescued. Since she was rescued, she should be safe for now.

“When Yuncheng Pass captured my maternal grandfather, two people died. Who did it?” Xun Xiuyuan didn’t give Wang Junlin much time, asking one question after another.

“It wasn’t me who did it; it was the Innate Realm attendants who acted. I couldn’t stop them in time.”

At this moment, Wang Junlin only wanted to distance himself, even lying that he had tried to stop them.

“Call the five Innate Realm followers with you into this room.” After saying this, Xun Xiuyuan waved his hand and closed the bedroom door.

Wang Junlin saw Xun Xiuyuan asking him to call his attendants, and his mind became active.

He picked up the phone and dialed, “I’m in room 1888 of the Dawn Hotel. Come as fast as you can.”

Xun Xiuyuan watched Wang Junlin’s performance without exposing him. The five Innate Realm cultivators were right next door; did he really need to tell them the room number?

Xun Xiuyuan walked up to Wang Junlin and punched him, knocking Wang Junlin unconscious.

Xun Xiuyuan unhurriedly walked to the next room, knocked, and killed them in one swift motion, without causing much disturbance to the Dawn Hotel.

Ding dong!

Killed an Innate Realm martial artist, gained 160,000 exotic beast value.

Ding dong!

Ding dong!

Killed an Innate Realm martial artist, gained 160,000 exotic beast value.

Xun Xiuyuan was startled. Killing humans also yielded exotic beast value? This was the first time Xun Xiuyuan had killed someone since arriving here, so he only now knew that killing humans also gave exotic beast value.

He took out a cloth bag, packed the heads of the five Innate Realm cultivators, and returned to Wang Junlin’s room.

He picked up Wang Junlin and left the room, arriving at the rooftop of the Dawn Hotel.

After receiving Wang Junlin’s call, the three Immaculate Realm cultivators knew something had happened to Wang Junlin and rushed towards the Dawn Hotel.

Upon arriving at the Dawn Hotel, a voice from the rooftop called out, “Over here.”

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the three Immaculate Realm cultivators from the Wang family who had arrived and directly called out to them.

The three saw Wang Junlin in Xun Xiuyuan’s hand, and their hearts tightened.

One of them said, “The person in your hand is a direct descendant of the Abyss Wang family, with considerable talent. If anything happens to him, you will surely not escape death.”

“That’s why I haven’t killed him, isn’t it? I was waiting for you all to come,” Xun Xiuyuan said with a smile.

At this moment, Xun Xiuyuan simply wanted to kill all the people from the Wang family, with no other intentions.

He deliberately let Wang Junlin send a message to round up everyone involved in this operation, trying as much as possible to temporarily keep the Abyss Wang family from knowing what had happened here.

The three stood opposite Xun Xiuyuan and continued, “You can name your conditions. As long as you release Wang Junlin, anything is negotiable.”

“Alright, as long as you can resurrect the two people who died at Yuncheng Pass, then I will release Wang Junlin.”

“The dead cannot be resurrected. Don’t deliberately make things difficult for us; propose some feasible demands.”

Xun Xiuyuan’s mental power had already broken through the limits of ordinary human Immaculate Realm cultivators, and his control over Heaven and Earth power far surpassed that of typical Immaculate Realm cultivators.

When the three got close enough, Xun Xiuyuan immediately controlled all the Heaven and Earth power, trapping the three, and then swiftly killed them.

He muttered, “You tell me to name conditions, but then you can’t fulfill them. What’s the act?”

Finally, he had killed all the personnel from the Wang family who had come this time. Of course, Wang Junlin was still alive.

Xun Xiuyuan put all eight heads into his spatial equipment. As he was about to leave, he felt someone peering at him from a tall building opposite the Dawn Hotel.

It was just a feeling, but Xun Xiuyuan knew that the feeling was definitely right. After his mental power grew stronger, this inexplicable intuition was sometimes more reliable than his eyes.

He gazed steadily at the tall building opposite. Soon after, a figure flew over from the other side.

Masked, dressed in black, in the attire of an ancient assassin.

Remembering that Xie Yao had mentioned a masked man in black had rescued his mother, Xun Xiuyuan looked at the other party without speaking.

Transcendent Realm. He hadn’t controlled the Heaven and Earth power here, so he should have no ill intent.

“I am Chen Gui, from the Abyss Chen family.” After speaking, Chen Gui removed his mask.

It was a very ordinary face, so ordinary that it was hard to remember.

“My mother was rescued by you?” Seeing that the other party had no hostility, Xun Xiuyuan got straight to the point.

The Chen family was stationed in Jiaolong City in the Abyss. When the other party revealed his identity, Xun Xiuyuan had already controlled the Heaven and Earth power in this area, ready to fight if anything was amiss.

Chen Gui felt his body being confined. While surprised by Xun Xiuyuan’s powerful cultivation, he was also happy about his family’s decision.

Such a genius, if he didn’t die, would surely become the backbone of humanity.

“I am the Deputy Director of the City Pass Headquarters. After the Chen family discovered the Wang family’s actions, they arranged for someone to inform me to monitor the movements of this small team from the Wang family and to disrupt them if necessary.”

Chen Gui looked at Xun Xiuyuan’s reaction. He was still looking at him with doubt, so he continued on his own:

“Seeing the Wang family attack Pass Lord Yan Yushuang, Sect Leader, and that their target was a woman, I decisively rescued that woman. Afterwards, I learned that she was the mother of Qianlong City’s genius, Xun Xiuyuan.”

After Chen Gui finished speaking, he beckoned and said, “Follow me.”

Xun Xiuyuan didn’t think much of it and directly followed Chen Gui, carrying Wang Junlin.

In a courtyard in the style of a traditional quadrangle, Xun Xiuyuan saw his mother, Ji Wushuang.

Ji Wushuang was very excited to see Xun Xiuyuan. In her heart, as long as Xun Xiuyuan was safe, nothing else in the world mattered. She didn’t yet know the news of her father’s capture.

Xun Xiuyuan saw that Ji Wushuang was safe and sincerely thanked Chen Gui.

Chen Gui waved his hand and looked at the still unconscious Wang Junlin: “How do you plan to deal with him?”

Xun Xiuyuan’s expression was indifferent: “He is a sacrifice. I need to take him back to Yuncheng Pass.”
