Chapter 390

Soon, masters rushed to the treasury, taking whatever they saw.

A quarter of an hour later, the Song family people were killed until they were scattered, leaving only some old, weak, sick, and disabled people trembling, the mansion stained with blood, the treasury emptied, leaving behind empty boxes all over the ground.

For a time, the entire Qingyang City was in an uproar. The Song family, one of the ten great families, was nearly exterminated overnight. Until everyone retreated, the family head Song Shirong and the Heaven Origin ancestor Song Yushao did not appear.

The Heaven Origin ancestors of the Ding family and the Song family were curious about whether Song Yushao was really dead, so they rushed to Yunqi Manor together, only to see that there was not a single living person in the entire Yunqi Manor, Song Yushao and Song Shirong had both been killed, and a large number of rare medicinal herbs had been picked by someone.

With doubts, he continued to read the cultivation technique.

The news spread crazily in Qingyang City and reached the Purple Sun Sect.

"What did you say? Brother Song Yushao was killed by someone?"

When Liu Qingyuan heard the report from his disciple He Song about Song Yushao’s death, his face was filled with shock.

"This matter has already spread crazily in Qingyang City. The Heaven Origin ancestors of the Ding family and the Du family went to Yunqi Manor personally and saw Song Yushao’s head cut off by someone, and all the Song family elites in the entire Yunqi Manor were killed," He Song said, trembling.

The death of a Heaven Origin martial artist—this kind of thing hadn't happened for many years.

Heaven Origin martial artists could fly in the air, their speed as fast as lightning, and under normal circumstances, it was very difficult to kill them.

"Do you know who did it?" Liu Qingyuan asked, pursuing the matter.

Even if Song Yushao wasn't his close friend, he wanted to know who could kill Song Yushao.

He Song shook his head: "The two Heaven Origin martial artists checked it, and only knew that the person who attacked should have used blade technique, and the cultivation method practiced was a supreme Yang cultivation technique. As for the cause, it is said that Yunqi Manor sent a distress signal first, and Song Yushao and Song Shirong rushed to check, but they never returned after going.

Not long after, a masked person killed his way to the Song family, killed the only remaining peak Marrow Cleansing experts of the Song family, blasted open the Song family treasury to rob it, and even claimed that Song Yushao had died at Yunqi Manor."

Liu Qingyuan frowned. The Purple Sun Sect practiced the supreme Yang cultivation technique.

The Purple Sun True Scripture and the Separating Fire Technique were both leaders in this path.

Could it be that a master of the Purple Sun Sect had taken a fancy to that Vermillion Flame Fruit and wanted to pick the fruit in advance, so they killed Song Yushao?

"Did no one recognize the identity of that masked person? That person should be the one who killed Song Yushao," Liu Qingyuan said.

He Song shook his head: "That person was very cautious. When he killed his way to the Song family, he didn't use Gang-Qi to leak his aura, only knowing that he might be a Heaven Origin expert."

Immediately afterward, his words turned, saying: "Master, now that the masters of the Song family are basically all dead, all parties are eyeing the Song family’s industries. Do you want to stand out and take over the Song family’s industries?"

Everyone knew that Liu Qingyuan and Song Yushao were close friends. If Liu Qingyuan stood out at this time as a close friend to preside over the overall situation, he could almost take over the entire Song family without any effort.

With the identity of an elder of the Purple Sun Sect, not many people dared to snatch this piece of fat from Liu Qingyuan’s mouth.

Even if the Song family’s treasury had been robbed clean, the remaining industries of the Song family were still an unimaginable amount.

Liu Qingyuan looked at He Song indifferently: "Have you forgotten Han Yingjie!"

The masters of the Song family were dead, but there was still Han Yingjie who had ascended the dragon twice. Who dared to snatch food from Han Yingjie’s mouth?

Han Yingjie was not someone to be trifled with; if you dared to reach out, your claws would inevitably be chopped off.

Hearing the three words Han Yingjie, He Song’s face changed slightly.

Han Yingjie had ascended the dragon and left; he had almost forgotten this person.

"Master, you and Song Yushao had a good friendship, do you know what enemy he had who was so ruthless, almost wiping out all the Song family masters?" He Song asked curiously.

The Song family matter was clearly a revenge. If it were just for money, they wouldn't have done it so excessively.

Liu Qingyuan shook his head: "He lived for over a hundred years; who knows how many enemies he had? I want to go into seclusion. Don't disturb me for anything during this period."

After speaking, he stood up and left directly.

"Disciple understands!" He Song bowed.

He knew that Liu Qingyuan was worried that the remaining clansmen of the Song family would come to beg Liu Qingyuan to take action. Liu Qingyuan used the excuse of seclusion to avoid seeing people, not wanting to offend those great families in Qingyang City who were eyeing them covetously because of this matter, and also afraid of provoking the master who could kill Song Yushao.

With the ruthlessness of the other party, it was clearly cutting weeds and removing roots, cutting off the opportunity for the Song family to rise again.

If Liu Qingyuan stood out to preside over the overall situation at this time, the master who killed Song Yushao would inevitably take action against him in order not to let the Song family rise again.

The identity of an elder of the Purple Sun Sect might not be feared by the other party.

And that person was very likely a master of the Purple Sun Sect. In this territory, except for the Purple Sun Sect, there was no master who could kill Song Yushao so easily, and the point of the supreme Yang cultivation technique also fit the characteristics of the Purple Sun Sect’s cultivation techniques very well.

What close friendship—it was just an equivalent exchange. Once Song Yushao died, how could Liu Qingyuan risk his life for a group of unrelated people?

"Senior Brother Xu!"

At the gate of the Purple Sun Sect, Xu Yang walked over carrying the things packed in animal skin. No one knew that he was the master who had wiped out the Song family, and the bag was filled with treasures snatched from the Song family.

Some outer sect disciples came up to curry favor and wanted to help him carry it, but were refused by him.

Returning to the courtyard, he entered the quiet room directly and began to count the harvest.

Thirty-five pieces of spirit iron, some larger than his fist, all of rare types.

Eleven stalks of spirit medicine, all with special effects.

Fifteen Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills!

Twenty Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pills!

Two spirit weapons, five half-spirit weapons!

Dozens of rare medicinal herbs!

Three secret manuals, all Heaven Origin-level cultivation techniques.

The foundation accumulated by the Song family over several generations could be said to be almost all here. He couldn't even calculate the value, because many things belonged to the kind that couldn't be bought even with money.

He just took a simple look at the spirit medicines and spirit iron; the focus was on those three cultivation techniques.

The one on top was none other than the Canglang Sword Art that Song Yushao had used during the battle. This sword technique was very strong and was a Martial Dao Imagery-level cultivation technique, but Song Yushao’s comprehension wasn't enough, and the cultivation technique had only been cultivated to Great Completion, not reaching perfection.

He planned to cultivate it, and while increasing his Heaven Origin means, he could also brush points.

The second cultivation technique was the main cultivation method, called the Pure Yang Technique.

Placed in the Jianghu, it was absolutely a supreme skill that people would break their heads to fight for, but compared to the Separating Fire Technique, it was much worse and didn't have much use for him.

He could only put it away and see if it could be used to exchange with others in the future.

The third cultivation technique was a fist technique, called the Xuanwu Mountain-Suppressing Fist.

After Xu Yang opened it, his eyes lit up. This was actually a true Heaven Origin martial skill.

Whether it was the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture or the Eight Evils Dragon-Subduing Power, they all cultivated Martial Dao Imagery. If one were to divide it carefully, both the Eight Evils Dragon-Subduing Power and the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture were Marrow Cleansing martial skills.

Because in a strict sense, these cultivation techniques could be perfected by Marrow Cleansing martial artists and were not true Heaven Origin martial skills.

True Heaven Origin martial skills could only be cultivated by Heaven Origin martial artists.
