Chapter 885: You Must Pay With Your Life

"Grandfather..." Liu Lianxin hurriedly stepped forward. With a wave of her right hand, a Green Lotus suddenly appeared, and a flash of green Qi swept past, forcing Chen Yu back.

"To raise but not teach is your fault. Today, I am taking Liu Jingye's life. Whoever dares to stop me will meet the same end as Liu Jingye," Chen Yu shouted in anger.

Upon receiving the news, Chen Yu was furious. Huizhao Shitai had spent her life crossing souls and had accumulated immense merit, yet she had been destroyed by Liu Jingye, and Yu Sichen had disappeared. Chen Yu truly hated his own moment of mercy for not killing Liu Jingye back then, which had allowed this tiger to grow into a threat.

"Lianxin, save your elder brother!" Liu Zhangshun spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Let him go to his death," Liu Lianxin said coldly.

"He is the only male descendant of the Liu Family and your elder brother. Lianxin, I have never begged anyone in my life, I only beg you to save him this once." Liu Zhangshun grabbed Liu Lianxin: "My Liu Family has raised you for over twenty years; even if it is to repay the Liu Family, it is only right. Do you hear me?"

Liu Lianxin's figure trembled slightly. She stared at her grandfather as if looking at a stranger.

Heh, she had always believed that her grandfather saw her as his own granddaughter, but now it seemed she had been wishful thinking. In the eyes of the Liu Family, she was ultimately nothing more than an outsider.

"Fine, then today, I will leave my life here to repay the Liu Family's kindness in raising me." Liu Lianxin closed her eyes, and tears fell.

"Lianxin, today's matter has nothing to do with you. I must take Liu Jingye's life, and no one can stop me," Chen Yu looked at Liu Lianxin.

"But I must stop you, because this is what I owe the Liu Family. If you leave today and come back another day, I will absolutely not stop you." Liu Lianxin took a deep breath: "I also want to kill him, but not today."

"But I must have his life today," Chen Yu said coldly.

"Then I can only apologize." Liu Lianxin pulled her hand through her hair, letting her three thousand strands of black hair cascade down. A Green Lotus appeared once more, and she stood facing Chen Yu from a distance.

Chen Yu had already gripped Lichen in his hand. The Sword Intent of the Lichen in his hand was awe-inspiring; it was clear that Lichen felt its master's will to battle.

Suddenly, Chen Yu moved. Lichen in his hand vibrated, and a streak of Sword Qi condensed and struck toward Liu Lianxin. Liu Lianxin let out a clear shout. She spread her arms, and her slender fingers suddenly shifted through several Dao Formulas. The Green Lotus in her hand suddenly dispersed, and green radiance surged outward.

The green lotus light and the Sword Light intertwined. Boom, boom, boom—water columns erupted from the surrounding artificial pond, and the area within three zhang of the two was leveled to the ground.

A group of bodyguards protected Liu Zhangshun and Liu Jingye as they retreated; this level of battle was no longer something they could interfere in.

One wave of their attacks had not yet subsided when another rose. When their figures intersected again, Chen Yu suddenly withdrew Lichen and pulled back his Sword Qi.

Pfft—a green lotus petal surged into Chen Yu's body. His figure swayed, and a glimmer of green light emerged.

Chen Yu spat out a mouthful of blood. His body stiffened, and he retreated several zhang.

"Why?" Liu Lianxin's hands trembled slightly. Chen Yu had done this on purpose.

"Because I owed you once, and this time, I am repaying you." Chen Yu's face was pale: "Liu Lianxin, from now on, we are even. I will leave Liu Jingye's life until the Zi hour tonight. Once the Zi hour arrives, I will surely come to take his life."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, his figure flickered, and he turned and disappeared, leaving only Liu Lianxin standing on the spot, lost in a daze.

"Lianxin, Chen Yu will not let this rest. Think of a way, call your master here, or take his life while he is injured," Liu Zhangshun stood up and shouted.

Liu Lianxin remained silent. She slowly turned around and stared at Liu Zhangshun.

Her gaze was icy, devoid of any emotion, making Liu Zhangshun's heart crawl with fear.

"You, what is wrong with you?" Liu Zhangshun asked stutteringly.

Liu Lianxin did not speak. She slowly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully to Liu Zhangshun.

"Grandfather, this time, I have repaid the Liu Family's kindness in raising me. I should go." After finishing her kowtows, Liu Lianxin knelt straight on the ground and said indifferently: "From now on, I have no further relationship with the Liu Family."

"You, you are leaving now?" Liu Zhangshun was shocked. He shouted angrily: "Did you not hear what Chen Yu said just now? Tonight at the Zi hour, he will take your brother's life. If you leave now, who will deal with Chen Yu?"

"My brother is an adult; he should be responsible for his own actions." Liu Lianxin's expression was cold: "The evil he has committed over these years is enough for him to go to Hell ten times over."

"Since you all dote on him so much, you should bear the karmic consequences he has committed for him. Liu Family matters have nothing to do with me from now on. May you all cherish your time." After saying this, Liu Lianxin slowly stood up, turned around, and her figure flickered, disappearing without a trace.

"Grandfather, what should I do? Chen Yu will definitely kill me, please save me." Liu Jingye was truly panicked this time. He could not care about his injuries; he scrambled up and hugged Liu Zhangshun's leg tightly.

"You piece of trash." Liu Zhangshun kicked him away in anger, knocking Liu Jingye to the ground. He roared furiously: "Zou Ziang was using you as a pawn. You were sold by others and were still happily helping them count the money. You caused this trouble yourself, so find your own way to deal with it."

Liu Zhangshun left the place in a rage, but this was his grandson; he could not sit idly by. He secretly summoned the direct descendants of the Liu Clan to discuss how to resolve this matter.

As for Liu Jingye, he fled the scene in terror, going to find Zou Ziang.

Zou Ziang was playing golf. He was in casual wear and looked very relaxed, seemingly unconcerned about Chen Yu's affairs.

"Young Master Zou, save me! Chen Yu already knows about this matter. He came to the door and is going to take my life at midnight tonight," Liu Jingye said tremblingly.

"Oh, is that so?" Zou Ziang made a hole-in-one, then put down his club: "That is your business, what does it have to do with me?"

"Young Master Zou, I did all this for you. I was venting your anger. Chen Yu snatched your fiancée, and you were the one who told me to do it," Liu Jingye shouted angrily.

"I never actively sought you out; everything was of your own doing." Zou Ziang smiled: "Besides, Liu Jingye, I invited people from the Jinling Tiance Sword Mansion to let you deal with Chen Yu, but you—you went and killed a nun. Now even your own sister won't help you."

"You are truly capable. I have never seen someone as useless as you. Your sister has the natural Green Lotus Jade Bone and has cultivated Buddhism with a master; her strength is unfathomable, yet you managed to offend her to death." Zou Ziang said viciously: "A piece of trash like you isn't even qualified to be my dog. Get out."

"But I provoked Chen Yu for your sake; you cannot just stand by and watch," Liu Jingye knew he was in the wrong and hung his head.
