Chapter 593

"It is not that I fear you, but that you should fear me!"

The Song family!

One of the ten great families of Yangcheng, with businesses everywhere and numerous clansmen.

The Liu family, where Liu Qingyuan resided, though shallow in foundation, still had over a dozen members and many shops.

When they were in the Yunling Mountain Range, he had chatted with Gao Lin about the situation of these two families and learned quite a bit of useful information.

……

The night was like ink!

The Liu Family Apothecary!

Liu Xunfeng was facing today's ledger, clicking away on an abacus to calculate the day's accounts.

His Liu family were originally rustic farmers, with generations digging for food in the fields. Fortunately, the Heavens opened Their eyes; decades ago, his Liu family produced a martial arts genius who successfully ascended the dragon, entered the Profound Heaven Sect, and eventually broke through to the Heavenly Origin Realm, becoming one of the four great Elders of the Profound Heaven Sect's Heavenly Power Peak.

This person was his father, Liu Qingyuan.

After he was born, although his talent was poor, he had a father who was a Profound Heaven Sect Elder. Any business he did in Yangcheng would flourish, and families of all sizes vied to curry favor with him.

The Liu Family Apothecary was opened with the help of his father.

He did not know how to refine elixirs, but that did not matter; he had a share of elixirs in the Profound Heaven Sect, and he just had to go and collect them on time every month.

He did not even need to collect them; when the time came, his father, Liu Qingyuan, would arrange for his disciples to deliver the elixirs to him. Over the course of a dozen years, the reputation of his Liu Family Apothecary gradually grew, and nowadays, it could be said to bring in a thousand gold pieces a day.

"Three hundred and thirty taels!"

After calculating the final entry, Liu Xunfeng revealed a smile. Today's net profit was three hundred and thirty taels, a bit more than yesterday.

"Three hundred and thirty a day, that's nearly ten thousand taels a month, and one hundred and twenty thousand taels a year."

Liu Xunfeng closed the ledger with satisfaction and was about to get up to blow out the candle and go find the concubine he had married a few days ago to have some fun and expand the Liu family population, but his five senses caught a feeling that made him somewhat terrified.

"Who?" Liu Xunfeng shouted.

Although his talent was average, he could not be stopped by having a father who was a Heavenly Origin Realm powerhouse. Using spiritual herbs, he was forcibly piled into a Marrow Cleansing Realm martial artist. When someone appeared within three zhang of him, his five senses captured it immediately.

It was just that the other party's cultivation was tyrannically beyond his imagination. Before his voice had even faded, a large hand was already gripping his neck.

"Don't move around, if you move around, your neck will snap."

A hoarse voice rang out. Liu Xunfeng trembled all over, his face showing a look of terror.

Someone who could render him powerless to resist and subdue him in one move could definitely snap his neck with ease.

"Friend, don't act rashly. I am Liu Xunfeng, and my father is Liu Qingyuan, an Elder of the Profound Heaven Sect's Heavenly Power Peak. If you are short on money, feel free to name a number. My Liu family loves to make friends in the jianghu and will never be stingy. Harming me will do you no good," Liu Xunfeng hurriedly said.

First, stabilize this bold and reckless outlaw.

"I don't want money, do you have spiritual herbs?"

The hoarse voice rang out again. Liu Xunfeng looked up and saw that the other party was wearing a mask, unable to see their true appearance.

To think they didn't want money, only spiritual herbs. This was definitely a martial artist who had gone mad for the sake of cultivation and would do anything.

"I do!" Liu Xunfeng said hurriedly.

Spiritual herbs were indeed important, but his little life was more important.

As long as he satisfied the other party's conditions, the other party should not kill him.

"Where are they? Take them out quickly, don't think about playing tricks!"

Xu Yang did not expect there to actually be spiritual herbs.

He had initially just wanted to play the role of a great bandit, but he did not expect that in this inconspicuous apothecary, there really were spiritual herbs.

"Friend, please wait a moment!"

Liu Xunfeng took a key from his waist, got up, and lifted a painting on the wall, revealing a hidden compartment inside.

He inserted the key into the compartment and turned it, and an iron box appeared before his eyes.

Liu Xunfeng stepped forward, took a jade box from the iron box, and lifted a corner of the lid. He saw a perfectly preserved Dragon Whisker Root lying quietly inside the jade box.

A sharp light flashed in Xu Yang's eyes. He did not expect it to be the Dragon Whisker Root, the main ingredient for refining the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill.

"Friend, you can let me go now, right?" Liu Xunfeng smiled.

Xu Yang took the jade box and smiled: "Naturally."

The next moment, a golden blade Qi emerged, and the surrounding heat rolled in waves. It was precisely the Blazing Sun Gang Blade that Xu Yang had not used for a long time.

In Liu Xunfeng's desperate eyes, the golden blade Qi pierced through his body, bringing up a puff of blue smoke.

"Puchi!"

He did not even have time to let out a scream before Liu Xunfeng was split into two on the spot, and a burnt smell filled the air.

Xu Yang stepped forward and opened the iron box hidden in the wall. He saw that there was also a thick stack of silver notes inside, as well as some rare medicinal herbs, several of which were needed for refining the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill.

Using a bag he had prepared long ago, he packed everything up, and Xu Yang transformed into a black shadow, soaring into the sky, and soon disappeared into the dark night.

"Ah..."

Not long after, a scream pierced the dark night. It was Liu Xunfeng's concubine, who had been waiting for him and came to find him, only to be frightened into a faint by the scene she saw.

Soon, the Liu family guards at the apothecary arrived.

"The Blazing Blade Guest, it's the Blazing Blade Guest! This beast has come out to commit crimes again."

Based on the traces, the Liu family guards quickly determined that the case was committed by the notorious Blazing Blade Guest. While their expressions changed drastically, they hurriedly reported the matter to the Yangcheng law enforcers.

A group of Yangcheng law enforcers arrived at the Liu Family Apothecary. When they learned that the person killed by the Blazing Blade Guest was the son of Elder Liu Qingyuan, they hurriedly sealed off Yangcheng while sending people to rush to the Profound Heaven Sect overnight to report it.

……

Heavenly Power Peak.

In the middle of the night, a figure quickly ascended Heavenly Power Peak, heading straight for Liu Qingyuan's great hall.

"Who goes there? Stop!"

He Song appeared from the darkness, blocking the person who had come up from the peak. He saw that the other party was in the uniform of a Yangcheng law enforcer, and he did not know what they were doing running to Heavenly Power Peak in the middle of the night, looking out of breath.

"I am a Yangcheng law enforcer. Take me to see Elder Liu quickly. Young Master Liu Xunfeng has met with an accident," the person shouted.

He Song's expression changed drastically.

"Ah, I've thought of it."

Liu Qingyuan suddenly slapped his thigh, finally thinking of a way to deal with Xu Yang.

Elder Huoyun was protecting Xu Yang, and the Peak Master of Departing Fire Peak would not allow outsiders to interfere in the affairs of Departing Fire Peak. Even if he were an Elder of Heavenly Power Peak, it would be impossible to forcibly make Xu Yang leave the Profound Heaven Sect.

Previously, he had been thinking about how to make the Peak Master of Departing Fire Peak not protect Xu Yang, but at this moment, he discovered that he had been drilling into a dead end.

Xu Yang's talent was something the Peak Master of Departing Fire Peak and Elder Huoyun could not give up. Even if Zhang Jingyuan came forward personally, the people of Departing Fire Peak would protect Xu Yang. It was simply impossible for him to attack Xu Yang from Departing Fire Peak.

Didn't Xu Yang have a younger sister? He heard that Xu Yang doted on her very much. As long as he transferred this sister of Xu Yang away from the Profound Heaven Sect and controlled her, he could manipulate Xu Yang however he wanted when the time came.

"That's it!" Liu Qingyuan smiled.

Initially, he only wanted to kill Xu Yang because of the Liu Xunjiang matter, but after Xu Yang reached Marrow Cleansing Major Success, his reason for wanting to kill Xu Yang was no longer Liu Xunjiang.

"Master, it's bad, something has happened."

Suddenly, he heard the voice of his disciple He Song ringing out from outside, carrying a bit of panic and anxiety.

Having just thought of a way to deal with Xu Yang, he was in a great mood and could not help but frown: "What are you panicking about? Tell me clearly what has happened."

He Song walked in, pushing the door open with a face full of grief: "The Yangcheng law enforcer has come to report that Brother Xunfeng has been harmed by a thief."

His own son had been harmed by someone?

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from Liu Qingyuan's body. The roof was almost flipped over, the entire great hall trembled slightly, and dust fell in showers.

Terrifying sharp light shot from his eyes, and he said word by word: "Say that again!"

He hoped he had misheard.

He Song knelt on the ground, grieving: "Please restrain your grief, Master."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyuan's body swayed as if struck by lightning. The tyrannical energy shattered the bed he was sitting on, and it collapsed to the ground with a boom.

Yet he seemed unaware, his mind filled only with the news that his son Liu Xunfeng had been harmed.

"Master, the incident just happened not long ago. The people from the Law Enforcement Hall have already sealed off Yangcheng. If you take action personally, you might be able to catch that thief and avenge Brother Xunfeng," He Song reminded.

Now was not the time for grief, but to rush to Yangcheng to find the murderer and dig out that beast, the Blazing Blade Guest.

"Right, revenge. No matter who you are, I, Liu Qingyuan, will surely tear you into ten thousand pieces and slaughter your entire family."

Liu Qingyuan's eyes were about to split, and the terrifying killing intent almost turned into substance, causing blood light to surge over his body.

Liu Xunfeng was his only son and his only child.

It was extremely difficult for Heavenly Origin martial artists to produce offspring. This only son was born before he broke through to the Heavenly Origin Realm.

"You immediately summon everyone and have them descend the mountain immediately to await orders!"

With a flash, Liu Qingyuan's figure disappeared from where he stood, with only his voice drifting from afar.
