Chapter 54: Eighteenth Level

Gu Mingchuan returned home and just sat down when Zhou Ruxuan walked up to him and asked in a shocked and excited tone, "You, you really killed Li Jinghe?"

He glanced at the woman next to him and said, "Where's the tea?"

Zhou Ruxuan hurried over to get the tea and presented it to him respectfully.

In the past few months, she has become accustomed to being ordered around.

However, I didn't have such a good attitude before.

It gives people the feeling that they are just accepting what is given to them.

After all, she used to be a young lady. If it wasn't for revenge, she wouldn't have endured such humiliation.

Gu Mingchuan took the tea and asked, "Why, do you have a grudge against Li Jinghe too?"

"Yes. Ten years ago, I had a young uncle who was very talented. He was already at the fifth level of Gang Yuan before he was thirty. But he died inexplicably when he was out of town. My grandfather has always suspected that it was the Li family who did it."

Zhou Ruxuan mentioned the Li family with some resentment in her tone, and then asked, "Did you really kill him?"

"Correct."

She got a positive answer, her eyes were a little wet, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Sir, as long as you can help me avenge the Zhou family, I will repay you by working like a cow and a horse for you for the rest of my life."

When he knelt down, Gu Mingchuan moved his butt a little unnaturally.

There's nothing I can do. I've watched too many domestic movies, and whenever I see a beautiful woman kneeling in front of me, a picture pops up in my mind.

He suppressed these messy thoughts and said, "I never believe in other people's promises. Prove it to me with your performance."

At this time, Shi Tou's voice came from outside the door, "Master, it's time to eat."

……

In the hall, Gu Mingchuan and Su Lingshuang sat opposite each other.

"Come and eat this."

Su Lingshuang picked up food for him from time to time, and the atmosphere was warm and peaceful. "This time when I went back, I encountered something."

"what's up?"

It was the first time she mentioned her time in the Su family, and Gu Mingchuan couldn't help but become interested.

Su Lingshuang said, "A legitimate son of the Zhang family in Pingjiang Prefecture was killed in public. The Zhang family is one of the most prestigious families, so they naturally would not let it go, so they sent people to hunt down the murderer..."

Gu Mingchuan's eyes became a little strange.

I am familiar with this matter; I experienced it myself.

"…Not long after this incident, about a month later, a group of experts suddenly broke into the Zhang family, captured everyone in the Zhang family, and asked about the whereabouts of the man named Hou Longtao."

"I heard that the ancestor of the Zhang family was a master, but he was captured in one move. It turns out that Hou Longtao was the lover of a daughter of the Xue family in Jiangzhou."

"When the daughter of the Xue family heard that her lover was being hunted, she went to the Zhang family. In the end, she was unable to find out the whereabouts of her lover, so she killed everyone in the Zhang family. The Zhang family in Pingjiang Prefecture was wiped out."

Gu Mingchuan was a little surprised. He had not paid attention to this matter, but he did not expect that Xue Ruoyu was so murderous that he would kill the whole family just like that.

Much more cruel than him.

When he heard this, he roughly understood what Su Lingshuang wanted to express.

Killing someone feels good for a while, but you can never predict what kind of person you will offend after killing that person.

Gu Mingchuan pretended not to understand and accused, "Those aristocratic families are really lawless. They actually want to exterminate an entire family like this. This is too much."

Su Lingshuang said, "I heard that Miss Xue was soon captured and taken back to Jiangzhou and locked up. I'm afraid she will be punished."

Gu Mingchuan said bluntly, "Even if she was punished, it was not because she wiped out someone else's family, but because she behaved improperly and had an affair with a strange man."

"really……"

The topic was diverted in this way.

……

At the same time, the Li family had already set up the mourning hall.

Two bodies were placed in the mourning hall.

The entire Li family was filled with gloom and sorrow.

In just one month, four of the most important figures in the Li family died, and even the head of the family died, and he was killed in public.

In addition to grief and anger, the Li family was more afraid that the house was about to collapse.

"Why is this happening?"

Many people couldn't believe that the head of the family died like this, and was killed by an eighteen-year-old young man.

"My dear nephew, please accept my condolences."

Several people came to the mourning hall to pay their respects.

Zheng Yuhu, the acting leader of the Qinglong Gang.

Fan Siyi, the head of the Fan family.

Even Mr. Jiang from the Jiang family came and was comforting Li Manjin.

Among the younger generation of the Li family today, he has the highest cultivation level, so naturally he is the leader.

"I really didn't expect that Gu Mingchuan would be so cruel and do such a vicious thing to Brother Li."

"It's all our fault that we didn't arrive in time, causing Brother Li to die on the spot."

"Brother Li, I'm afraid you won't live long enough..."

……

The three of them expressed their regrets and accused Gu Mingchuan of being cruel and merciless.

Li Manjin listened with a blank expression and did not make any statement.

He naturally knew that it was the strength displayed by Gu Mingchuan that made them feel uneasy.

If you don’t know, you might think they really have a good relationship with the Li family.

Zheng Yuhu reminded him, "My dear nephew, Gu Mingchuan said that he wanted to wipe out your entire Li family. You should have made plans earlier."

"Yes, nephew, the Li family is now at a critical juncture of life and death. If we don't ask Senior Li to come out and take charge of the situation, I'm afraid..." "Don't forget, Gu Mingchuan's cultivation speed is rare in ancient and modern times. If it drags on, even if Senior Li comes out of retreat, I'm afraid he won't be a match for this kid."

After hearing this, Li Manjin finally understood why they came.

I just want him to invite his great-grandfather out to get rid of this scourge, Gu Mingchuan.

……

After sending the three men away, Li Manjin came to the back mountain alone, knelt in front of a stone house, kowtowed heavily, and cried blood, "Great-grandfather, my father, second uncle, fourth uncle and sixth uncle were all killed. I beg great-grandfather to come out and kill the enemy——"

Suddenly, the door of the stone house slammed open, and an angry voice came, "What did you say?"

Li Manjin looked at the figure walking out of the stone house and could no longer hold back her tears. She told her great-grandfather what had happened recently.

……

…………

the other side.

Gu Mingchuan opened the panel.

"it's time."

He added all five million ambition points to the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" in one breath.

At that moment, he felt like his whole body was melting.

……

In the yard at the other end.

Su Lingshuang stood on the attic, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, and asked Granny Yu behind her, "Granny, if the Li family comes to take revenge, can you protect me?"

Granny Yu said, "Don't worry, young lady. With the Second Young Master here, no one in Minglong City can hurt you."

Unconsciously, she started addressing Gu Mingchuan as the Second Young Master.

Su Lingshuang asked again, "What if the Fan family also takes action?"

"I will protect the young lady even at the cost of my life."

"How does your strength compare to Li Jinghe?"

“Not even close.”

Su Lingshuang didn't ask any more questions. She tightened her scarf and said, "I'm tired."

She went downstairs and returned to her room.

After Grandma Yu left, she was the only one left in the room.

She took out a wooden box from under the bed, the one she brought back from the Su family.

She had burned the letter inside, leaving only a jade pendant.

Su Lingshuang took out the jade pendant and held it in her palm, muttering, "Erlang, I will never hold you back."

Her gaze hardened.

Her mother's last words echoed in her ears again, "Shuang'er, there is a technique hidden in that jade pendant, which was left to you by your father. Only your blood can open it, you must get the jade pendant back. Remember, only with great power can you control your destiny in your own hands."

She didn't like fighting and killing, and after getting the jade pendant back, she never thought about learning the skills on it.

But how can people get everything they want while living in this world?

Erlang killed Li Jinghe, and the Li family will definitely take revenge.

Even if she couldn't help, she couldn't hold Erlang back. At least, she had the ability to escape when in danger.

It may be too late to start learning martial arts now, but it is better than not learning at all.

Thinking of this, Su Lingshuang no longer hesitated, bit her fingertips, and dripped a drop of blood on the jade pendant.

Suddenly, the phoenix on the jade pendant seemed to come alive, flew out of the jade pendant, and turned into a blood-red fire phoenix, almost soaring into the sky.

After a clear cry, the phoenix turned into a beam of fire and drilled into her forehead.

Soon, she felt amazing changes taking place in her body. Flames emerged and burned her clothes to ashes.

The person was also suspended in the air, and blazing flames were burning around her, but nothing in the house was burned.

Su Lingshuang couldn't bear the pain and soon fainted.

……

At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away.

Gods.

Inside the imperial city, in a ancestral temple, a young phoenix was seen flying out and dancing happily around the temple.

On the mat, an old man with eyebrows drooping to his cheekbones suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the young phoenix, and said in an old voice, "Pass the order down. Another member of the Xia family has been stranded in Jiangzhou. Send someone to bring him back."

"Yes."

Outside the ancestral temple, someone received the order and left.

The old man closed his eyes again, silent and motionless, like a statue.

Ps: It’s the end of the month, please support me with monthly tickets.
