Chapter 211: I Have Money
"It is a pity that you, Shen Yu, came to Xichuan, came to Anzhou City, and caused all my plans to fall short in the end. Otherwise, in a few days, I would certainly have succeeded!"
"Although I have lost, the entire Feng Family must die; they must pay the price!"
His chest heaved continuously; at this moment, Xue Muchen's emotions were fluctuating violently, clearly still harboring deep resentment over the events of those years.
Even though decades had passed since that day, recalling those various past events still made him unable to suppress his rage, his heart filled with a fury difficult to calm.
Hatred had coiled around his heart for many years, not only failing to diminish in the slightest but instead increasing at every moment.
With each passing day, watching the Feng Family continue to live in wealth and luxury, the hatred and unwillingness in Xue Muchen's heart grew by another measure.
Yet, as this scene fell into the eyes of Shen Yu, it made him smile knowingly; the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.
At this moment, Xue Muchen was still endlessly accusing everything that had once happened to him, unaware that Shen Yu had already taken action.
"In fact, the Feng Family should have perished long ago; that I have spared them for so many years is already a grace to them!"
Quietly watching Xue Muchen, Shen Yu did not speak again, though his eyes clearly held a bit more joy.
And the next moment, Xue Muchen, who was endlessly recounting his hatred for the Feng Family, suddenly felt a buzz in his mind, then woke up with a start, so frightened that he stumbled back several steps before standing steady.
Just a moment ago, an extremely secretive mental power had silently intruded into the depths of his mind, attempting to flip through his memories.
Had he not been prepared and warned in advance, he would never have discovered it; this was going too far.
It was one thing for the Feng Family to bully him, but now even Shen Yu was bullying him like this—did he really think he was made of mud?
"Shen Yu, do not attempt to search my memories, do not attempt to challenge my bottom line, otherwise I will take all these secrets away with me!"
"By then, even without me, the Great Arrays in each city will be activated. At that time, the millions of commoners in the several great cities of Xichuan will all be buried with me!"
"My condition is very simple; I only want the lives of everyone in the Feng Family, nothing more!"
"Sorry, it's too late!" Raising his head, the sword in Shen Yu's hand slowly lifted, and terrifying Sword Qi shrouded everything within.
Firmly locked by this Sword Qi, Xue Muchen even felt as if the deepest part of his soul was trembling in fear.
Unlike at the very beginning, when Shen Yu only wanted to severely injure him, he could clearly feel that at this moment, Shen Yu truly wanted his life!
A premonition of death shrouded his heart; there was only one possibility for the opponent to completely disregard the arrays he had set up everywhere, and that was that his trump card had already been seen by the opponent.
"You, you, how is this possible!"
"There is nothing impossible!" The sword swung down heavily, and accompanied by Shen Yu's monstrous killing intent, it directly submerged the Xue Muchen before him completely.
"You should be glad that I could still calm my heart to talk nonsense with you for so long; now, please go die!"
Being able to tamper with others' memories, the inheritance Xue Muchen obtained must be extraordinary, and it must contain methods for controlling mental power.
Therefore, even if Shen Yu wanted to invade the depths of the opponent's memories, he did not need to be overly cautious; the entire process must not wake the opponent, otherwise, if the opponent discovered it, they might jump over the wall like a cornered dog.
If Xue Muchen had a ruthless nature and, upon discovering his memories were being pried into, chose to detonate his Spiritual Sea and let everything turn to ashes along with all his memories, that would be a loss that outweighed the gain.
If it weren't for these concerns, who the hell would have the leisure to listen to him ramble? It was all to make this lingering old man relax his vigilance and reveal a flaw.
A person who courted death and dragged his family down with him, now obsessed with revenge—why didn't you know how to leave a way out for others back then!
If you had been polite to the entire Feng Family when you were there and taken care of what you could, even if the Feng Family were just putting on an act, they would have taken good care of your family.
That the Feng Family turned against them after only two years and impatiently began to liquidate and retaliate against their family was likely because Xue Muchen had acted too excessively back then, which made others hold a grudge.
The Feng Family certainly had faults, but what about yourself? You don't even know how to reflect!
"No, the Feng Family has not completely perished yet, how can I die!"
The Sword Qi ignored Xue Muchen's roaring and struggling, swiftly piercing through him. Even with the strongest healing ability, it was futile under such destructive Sword Qi.
"I only wanted revenge, was I wrong? Tell me, was I wrong? The ones who were wrong were clearly them, and the ones who deserved to die were clearly them!"
"Why, why on earth!"
The voice stopped abruptly here, and the Sword Qi gradually dissipated; everything returned to calm. As for Xue Muchen, not even a scrap remained under the Sword Qi.
Only at the moment of Xue Muchen's death did Shen Yu vaguely feel that the opponent seemed to reveal a trace of relief.
It felt as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time and had finally reached it.
However, such a doubt only flashed through Shen Yu's mind for a moment; perhaps he had repented before his death.
After dealing with Xue Muchen, Shen Yu took immediate action. Following the opponent's memories, he quickly began to rush to various places to destroy the arrays he had laid out in each city.
The families and sects that had been implanted with the Seed were also cleared one by one.
The Great Array that Xue Muchen obtained was not perfect; its activation required the sacrifice of a large number of experts.
Just like the Feng Family, Feng Moli had used the vast majority of the experts in the Feng Family to sacrifice, only then gradually beginning to activate the Great Array.
Similarly, regarding the array at the Xinghai Gang, was it not Xue Muchen's plan to sacrifice everyone in the entire Xinghai Gang? It was laughable that Li Zehai and the others were kept in the dark from beginning to end.
Little did they know, the moment the Great Array was activated would be the moment they were all drained dry.
Although top-tier great families like the Feng Family were not easy to find, there were still quite a few families and sects of this caliber.
If one family could not support the array set up in various places, then add two more families; they could always activate the Great Array.
Come to think of it, although Xue Muchen did not walk the righteous path, he was indeed truly formidable; he had found more than one person like Feng Moli.
Coupled with his secret technique capable of tampering with memories, his actions were even more like a tiger with wings.
Sacrificing the commoners of so many cities just for his own resurrection—Xue Muchen deserved to die twice over.
"System, Sign-in!"
"Sign-in successful, obtained Absolute Strike!"
In the blink of an eye, a shimmering light enveloped Shen Yu, and various pieces of information about Absolute Strike appeared in his mind.
Within a quarter of an hour, his attacks could ignore any secret technique, ignore any defense, and ignore any array; a single strike would absolutely hit its target.
To put it plainly, within a quarter of an hour, he could hit any opponent he wanted to hit with 100% accuracy; even if they had treasures or arrays protecting them, it would be of no avail.
"Impressive!" After carefully contemplating this skill he had obtained, this wave was not just 'not a loss', it was a massive profit.
After finishing all this, Shen Yu came to the place where Li Zehai and Mo Li were hiding.
At the time when he destroyed the Xinghai Gang, the reason Shen Yu let them go was originally to use Li Zehai and the others to lure out the person behind the scenes; now it seemed it was no longer needed.
Xue Muchen was already dead, so these few people could not be left alive.
Even if they might have had countless grievances and countless compulsions before, they are now nothing but blood-stained executioners, and every one of them deserves to die!
However, when Shen Yu found them, he discovered an unexpected visitor here.
The place where Li Zehai and the others were hiding was originally the meeting spot for them and the person behind the scenes; logically, an ordinary person could never find it, and it would be impossible for anyone to stumble upon them so rashly.
Moreover, the person appearing before his eyes also surprised Shen Yu greatly. She was Li Zehai's former fiancée, one of the culprits who caused Li Zehai's family to be ruined and destroyed.
Previously, Shen Yu had seen her at the Feng Family; she was just an ordinary woman and appeared to be a complete victim, so Shen Yu did not kill her at the time.
But looking at it now, this woman is not ordinary, and the aura on her body seems to be of the same lineage as Xue Muchen.
Had he misjudged her back then?
