Chapter 247: Assassination on a Rainy Night

"Boom—"

Bursts of thunderous sounds came from the sky.

Pedestrians in Haitang City looked up at the sky, one after another, in confusion.

"What's wrong with the weather? It changes as soon as it says it will?"

"It's going to rain, let's go, let's go, hurry back to bring in the laundry."

"With such dark clouds, it looks like there will be a rainstorm tonight."

Pedestrians on the street quickened their pace and ran toward their homes.

Shi Quan was not interested in these ordinary soldiers; the only ones he wanted to kill were Spirit Masters.

"The death of the family's upper echelon is an unprecedented blow to the entire family. Those who participated in that incident were all elders within the family, and now that they have been wiped out, it is enough..." Ye Lingling's expression was somewhat dazed; there was the relief of having avenged a great wrong, but also some confusion, not knowing whether what she had done was right or wrong.

A thunderclap rang out, and Shi Quan and Dugu Bo moved at the same time.

"Wait for the thunder." Shi Quan looked at the sky, and Dugu Bo immediately understood.

Time passed second by second. It was already late at night; these Spirit Masters were either sleeping or cultivating. Everyone was being subtly influenced by the Dream Wave, and gradually, more and more Spirit Masters fell into a deep sleep.

Or they were directly strangled to death by the vines of the Blue Silver Emperor Tree.

"A dark, windy, stormy night is the best time for murder and revenge." Shi Quan slowly stood up, "You all enter my Hundred Treasure Bag first."

The remaining nine hundred people were mostly ordinary servants, and the others were some guard soldiers.

Shi Quan and the others did not wantonly kill the ordinary soldiers and servants.

"That's enough, Xiao Quan." Ye Lingling's slightly trembling voice came. Looking at this family she both hated and loathed, Ye Lingling finally called for Shi Quan to stop.

This sudden rainstorm was a manifestation of Heavenly Luck Power.

Or they were crushed to death by the terrifying pressure of Earth power.

Throughout the entire process, the speed was naturally much slower.

This was Heavenly Luck. The Destiny Power of Douluo Star that he possessed had the ability to subtly change the weather in a certain place. Although it was not one hundred percent successful, the stronger Shi Quan's intent was, the higher the probability.

Shi Quan's current strength allowed him to easily fight even a Spirit Douluo, so ambushing some Spirit Emperors and Soul Kings in their sleep was naturally simple.

Relying on Gu Yuena's strength, it was not difficult to silently kill a Spirit Douluo in seconds, but it was not easy for Dugu Bo to do so; however, with Shi Quan's help, it became much simpler.

Shi Quan stopped his figure and simultaneously informed Gu Yuena and Dugu Bo via Spirit Sense transmission.

After some investigation by Shi Quan, he discovered that besides the one Spirit Douluo on the surface, the Nine Heart Begonia Family also had another hidden Spirit Douluo.

A silver light flashed across Shi Quan's eyes, and his Mental Power turned into invisible waves that permeated from his body, continuously expanding in all directions until it covered the rooms of the vast majority of the Spirit Masters.

"Start the assassination!" Shi Quan's cold voice came.

But for these Spirit Masters, Shi Quan and the others did not show the slightest mercy when they took action.

Ye Lingling in the Hundred Treasure Bag was already weeping bitterly. Watching her hated clansmen—or more accurately, the enemies who forced her parents to their deaths—die one by one before her eyes, the emotions Ye Lingling had suppressed for many years finally erupted at this moment.

As he spoke, Shi Quan put everyone into the Hundred Treasure Bag one by one.

Shi Quan's figure split into three; his main body controlled the Spirit Soul Martial Soul to oversee the overall situation, while his avatars mastered the Earth Martial Soul and the Blue Silver Emperor Tree Martial Soul.

Shi Quan narrowed his eyes, not in a hurry, and waited quietly.

A claw reached out and locked onto a throat; this Spirit Douluo could not even breathe, his astonished eyes filled with fear.

Gu Yuena and Dugu Bo also split up to act. The assassination in the rainy night continued, and every scene at the scene was shared by Shi Quan via Spirit Sense to the minds of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling in the Hundred Treasure Bag.

There were sixty-eight more corpses in Shi Quan's Hundred Treasure Bag.

Shi Quan's figure shuttled through the streets like a ghost.

"Du..." The Spirit Douluo could only manage to say one word before Dugu Bo snapped his neck.

These soldiers were ordinary people. Shi Quan's Spirit Sense quickly scanned the entire Nine Heart Begonia Family. There were roughly twelve hundred people in the family, and the number of Spirit Masters among them was less than three hundred.

Having killed so many people, they had not been discovered.

"Have you decided?" Shi Quan transmitted his voice to Ye Lingling.

"Can only blame our bad luck." Another soldier also looked helpless.

As time passed, the entire Haitang City was covered in dark clouds, the rain fell harder and harder, and thunder and lightning flashed in the sky. On the streets, only the helpless complaints of pedestrians and the sound of hurried footsteps remained.

After transmitting the distribution information of the Spirit Masters to the two via Spirit Sense, Shi Quan also moved along with Dugu Bo.

"Grandpa Dugu, this way." Under Shi Quan's lead, the two arrived on the roof.

The places where the Spirit Masters lived were mostly concentrated in the five areas in the middle, and the distance between each area was not large.

Shi Quan smiled, directly put the corpse into the Hundred Treasure Bag, and looked to the other side, "Gu Yuena has also finished over there."

With the two major Domains restrained within, their aura was unified, and they quickly submerged into the mansion.

As the range increased significantly, the effect of the Dream Wave weakened a lot, but precisely because of this, it was less likely to be discovered.

"What the hell is going on with this weather? Suddenly raining so hard." A patrolling soldier couldn't help but complain.

Gu Yuena smiled without a word.

In less than an hour, the only powerhouse above the Spirit Emperor level left in the entire Nine Heart Begonia Family was Ye Liang, who possessed the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul.

Shi Quan's current Mental Power strength exceeded that of most Title Douluo, and the strongest in the Nine Heart Begonia Family was only a Spirit Douluo, so they naturally could not discover Shi Quan's probing.

However, he had to hide his own soul power fluctuations while not causing too much noise.

The Spirit Soul Martial Soul appeared behind Shi Quan, and seven brilliant Soul Rings emerged. The Soul Rings were restrained, and Shi Quan's figure instantly turned into a phantom, submerging into the rainy night.

Even though this Spirit Douluo reacted quickly, Shi Quan's cold Mental Power pierced directly into his mind, cutting off his connection to his own martial soul. Before his martial soul could even be released, Dugu Bo's cold figure had already broken through the roof and appeared in the room, reaching his front in a single stride.

Relying on his own powerful Mental Power, the range of the Dream Wave was increased by Shi Quan to a terrifying degree.

In the blink of an eye, the two strongest people in the Nine Heart Begonia Family died silently at the hands of Gu Yuena, Dugu Bo, and Shi Quan.

Spirit Shock could instantly transform Shi Quan's vast Mental Power into a condensed force to strike the enemy, causing massive mental damage.

"Gu Yuena, you go deal with the Spirit Douluo on the left, Grandpa Dugu, you follow me to deal with the other Spirit Douluo."

In terms of attack power, the Spirit Shock from Tian Meng's sixth Soul Ring was undoubtedly Shi Quan's strongest mental attack soul skill to date; other soul skills carried some special attack effects, while Spirit Shock was a purely offensive soul skill.

"Xiao Quan, did you do this?" Dugu Bo looked suspiciously at the torrential rain falling from the sky, his gaze inevitably landing on Shi Quan.

It was not until an hour later that Shi Quan slowly opened his eyes, "The time is about right."

"Boom—!"

The scene from back then was still vivid in her mind; Ye Lingling could not forget the cold gazes of those people. Although they were not the ones who killed her parents and grandparents, they had all participated in the events of that time. These people were among the originators. Clearly, it was the Ye family's clan, yet they let these outsiders take control. The unwillingness and resentment in her heart were thoroughly vented.

Both sides moved almost simultaneously. Gu Yuena's attack was quite fierce; she thrust out with the Silver Dragon Spear, and that Spirit Douluo had not even reacted before he was already buried beneath Gu Yuena's long spear.

In less than a quarter of an hour, raindrops suddenly began to fall with a clatter from the sky.

Bypassing these patrolling soldiers, Shi Quan's ghost-like figure quickly infiltrated the core area of the Nine Heart Begonia Family.

One Qi Transforms into Three Purities.

Shi Quan sensed that Ye Lingling's state was somewhat off, so he immediately spoke to comfort her: "Lingling, after today, you will have no further connection with the Nine Heart Begonia Family. The clouds and smoke of the past will all vanish like mist. Do not have any psychological burden; this is the price they deserve to pay. You are now a free and unfettered little bird; the sky is high for birds to fly, and from now on, there will be no one to restrain you."

His Spirit Sense scattered; even on a stormy night, there were still twenty guards responsible for patrol duties within the Nine Heart Begonia Family.

"First Soul Skill, Dream Wave!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Spirit Shock, Spirit Disturbance!"

Shi Quan smiled, "Grandpa Dugu, how could I have such great ability?"

Coupled with the ability of Spirit Disturbance, it can make the enemy mentally deranged.

Although this rainstorm was not Shi Quan's doing, it had an inseparable connection to Shi Quan.

The sound of the rainstorm and the thunder became the best protective umbrella for the group.

At the same time, Shi Quan also released Gu Yuena and Dugu Bo from the Hundred Treasure Bag.

"Xiao Quan, your spirit attack is quite strong; even a Spirit Douluo couldn't react. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have had to fight him." Dugu Bo grabbed the Spirit Douluo's corpse and threw it in front of Shi Quan.

Or they were directly turned into idiots by Shi Quan's Spirit Shock.

Aside from the reason of the rainy night, it was also due to Shi Quan's hour-long hypnosis from Dream Wave.

Ye Lingling's eyes were red; faced with Shi Quan's inquiry, the only answer Ye Lingling gave was to kill!

Ye Lingling nodded, and the three of them gathered. Since they had already come and killed so many people, Shi Quan naturally could not let the Nine Heart Begonia Family's treasury go.

As a family of Auxiliary Soul Masters focused on healing, over the long accumulation of time, who knows how many people owed their family favors. Likewise, the family had accumulated quite a few treasures. When scanning with his Spirit Sense, Shi Quan discovered many special hidden compartments. Regardless of whether the items were useful or not, he collected them first. After the looting was finished, the group left the Nine Heart Begonia Family without a sound.
