Chapter 638
Soon, masters rushed to the treasury and took whatever they saw.
A quarter of an hour later, the Song family members were killed until they were scattered, leaving only some old, weak, women, and children trembling, the mansion stained with blood, the treasury emptied, leaving 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, had been almost wiped out overnight. Until everyone retreated, neither the family head Song Shirong nor the Heavenly Origin ancestor Song Yushao had appeared.
The Ding family's Heavenly Origin ancestor and the Song family's Heavenly Origin ancestor were curious about whether Song Yushao was really dead, and rushed to Yunqi Manor together, only to see that there wasn't a single living person in the entire Yunqi Manor, Song Yushao and Song Shirong had both been killed, and a large amount of rare medicinal herbs had been plucked.
The Song family was really finished, and the masters were almost all dead.
The news spread wildly in Qingyang City and reached the Profound Heaven 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 wildly in Qingyang City. The Ding family's Heavenly Origin ancestor and the Du family's Heavenly Origin ancestor went to Yunqi Manor personally and saw Song Yushao's head slashed off, and all the Song family elites in the entire Yunqi Manor were killed." He Song said, trembling.
The death of a Heavenly Origin martial artist—this kind of thing hadn't happened for many years.
Heavenly 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 in pursuit.
Even if Song Yushao wasn't his good friend, he wanted to know what kind of person could kill Song Yushao.
He Song shook his head: "Two Heavenly Origin martial artists checked it, and only know that the person who took action should have used blade technique, and the cultivation method practiced was a supreme Yang cultivation method. As for the cause, it is said that Yunqi Manor first sent a distress signal, and Song Yushao and Song Shirong rushed to check, but once they went, they never returned.
Not long after, a masked person killed his way to the Song family, killed the Song family's only remaining Marrow Cleansing Major Success masters, blasted open the Song family treasury to rob it, and even claimed that Song Yushao had already died at Yunqi Manor."
Liu Qingyuan frowned. The Profound Heaven Sect practiced supreme Yang cultivation methods.
The Purple Sun True Scripture and Li Huo Gong were both leaders in this path.
Could it be that a master of the Profound Heaven Sect had taken a fancy to that Zhu Yanguo and wanted to pluck the fruit in advance, which was why he 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 and didn't use Gang Qi to leak his aura when killing his way to the Song family. We only know that he might be a Heavenly Origin expert."
Immediately following, his words turned, and he said: "Master, now that the Song family's masters are almost all dead, all parties are peeping at the Song family's industry. Do you want to stand out and take over the Song family's industry?"
Everyone knew that Liu Qingyuan and Song Yushao were close friends. If Liu Qingyuan stood out to preside over the overall situation as a close friend at this time, he could almost take over the entire Song family without any effort.
With the status of an Elder of the Profound Heaven Sect, not many people dared to snatch this piece of fat meat from Liu Qingyuan's mouth.
Even if the Song family's treasury had already been robbed clean, a lean camel was bigger than a horse, and the remaining industry of the Song family was also an unimaginable amount.
Liu Qingyuan looked at He Song indifferently: "Have you forgotten Han Yingjie!"
The Song family's masters 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 easy to deal with; if one dared to reach out, their 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, and he had almost forgotten this person.
"Master, you and Song Yushao had a good friendship, do you know what enemies he had who were so ruthless, almost wiping out all the Song family's masters." He Song asked curiously.
The matter of the Song family was clearly a vendetta. If it were just for money, it wouldn't be done 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 was using the excuse of seclusion to avoid seeing people, not wanting to offend the great families in Qingyang City who were eyeing the situation because of this matter, and also fearing provoking the master who could kill Song Yushao.
Given the opponent's ruthlessness, it was clearly cutting weeds and digging up roots, breaking the Song family's chance 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 status of an Elder of the Profound Heaven Sect might not be feared by the opponent.
And that person was very likely a master of the Profound Heaven Sect. In this area, except for the Profound Heaven Sect, there was no master who could kill Song Yushao so easily, and the point about the supreme Yang cultivation method also fit the characteristics of the Profound Heaven Sect's cultivation methods 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 Profound Heaven Sect, Xu Yang walked over carrying things in animal skin. No one knew that he was the master who had wiped out the Song family, and the bag contained treasures snatched from the Song family.
An outer sect disciple came forward to curry favor and wanted to help him carry it, but was 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 rare types.
Eleven stalks of spiritual 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 Heavenly Origin-level cultivation methods.
The foundation accumulated by several generations of the Song family could be said to be almost all here. The value was immeasurable because many things belonged to the kind that couldn't be bought even with money.
He only took a simple look at the spiritual medicine and spirit iron; the focus was on those three cultivation methods.
The one on top was surprisingly the Cang Lang Sword Art that Song Yushao used during the great battle. This sword technique was very strong and was a martial arts imagery-level cultivation method. It was just that Song Yushao's comprehension wasn't enough, and the cultivation method was only practiced to the Major Success realm, not reaching the perfection realm.
He planned to practice it, and while increasing his Heavenly Origin means, he could also brush points.
The second cultivation method was the main heart method, called Pure Yang Gong.
In the world of the rivers and lakes, it was definitely a supreme technique that would make people break their heads to fight for, but compared to Li Huo Gong, 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 method was a fist technique, called Xuanwu Zhenyue Fist.
After Xu Yang opened it, his eyes lit up. This was actually a true Heavenly Origin martial skill.
Whether it was the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture or the Eight Fierce Dragon-Subduing Strength, they all practiced martial arts imagery. If one were to divide it carefully, both the Eight Fierce Dragon-Subduing Strength and the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture were Marrow Cleansing martial skills.
Because in a strict sense, these cultivation methods could be perfected by Marrow Cleansing martial artists and were not true Heavenly Origin martial skills.
True Heavenly Origin martial skills could only be practiced by Heavenly Origin martial artists.
