"It seems that your Liu Family still understands the rules."
Suddenly, a voice ca from outside.
The tone was sowhat teasing.
"Just putting on a show, that’s all."
Another voice sounded, accompanied by a cold laugh.
Everyone looked over and saw two n standing outside the door, their arrival unnoticed.
One of them wore glasses, looking gentle and refined.
The other appeared much more brutal, with a fierce expression that made one’s heart pound just from a glance.
The hall was very quiet.
Rembering the lesson from last ti, no one dared to speak up and ask who they were this ti.
Liu Zhenyang and his son exchanged a glance, feeling a surge of surprise in their hearts.
Could it be that these two are the reinforcents sent by the Elder Council?
They arrived so quickly!
"Please co in."
In the next mont, Liu Zhenyang hurriedly walked towards them.
"Where are the people?"
The refined man on the left smiled and spoke.
For so reason, seeing the smile on his face made everyone in the room feel a chill in their hearts, a deep-seated coldness spreading through them.
Liu Zhenyang also paused, puzzled, and said, "Didn’t Elder Xu call you to inform you?"
"Inform us of what?"
"The person has already left?"
Liu Zheng said, "Just before you arrived, that guy left. Elder Xu called us earlier, and we thought Elder Xu had already inford you."
"So, you’re saying we ca here for nothing?"
The smile on the refined man’s face turned cold.
"No, no."
The unease in Liu Zhenyang’s heart grew stronger.
For so reason, he always felt sothing was off about these two people.
But since they were sent by the Elder Council, nothing should go wrong.
"You’ve co here for the sake of our Liu Family. How could we let you go empty-handed? Please wait for a mont. I’ll have a feast prepared to welco you."
"Yes, yes, you must be tired from coming all the way from Baijiang City. Please stay and rest for a while," Liu Zheng chid in.
He rembered what Liu Zhenyang had said earlier.
These two were among the strongest in Yan Country. Befriending them could only be beneficial.
They killed that guy nad Chen, and the things their Liu Family lost, only after handing them to the Elder Council, could these things be returned.
If they could build a good relationship with these two, they might even receive the items directly from them. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
"No need."
The brutal-looking man on the right frowned.
"Hey."
The refined man smiled, "They’re being kind. Why not accept? Since that kid has already left, we can’t catch up with him now. Why not rest here for a bit?"
Then, he looked at Liu Zhenyang and his son, smiled and said, "You said you want to host us with a banquet, right? Let warn you, making us satisfied cos at a high price. Are you prepared for that?"
Hearing this, the two exchanged glances.
From the tone, it was clear he wasn’t joking.
But having already spoken, to regret it now would look terrible. Moreover, they wanted to curry favor with these two.
"No matter what the request is, as long as our Liu Family can manage it, please feel free to ask," Liu Zhenyang gritted his teeth.
After all, their Secret Realm and Divine Demon-level Martial Arts had already been stolen.
What’s left might be valuable, but insignificant compared to the forr two.
They were willing to pay the price.
After Liu Zhenyang spoke, the brutal-looking man’s eyes showed a trace of sorrow.
The refined man’s eyes lit up with clear excitent.
"You said it."
"I said it. As long as senior helps our Liu Family kill that kid and retrieve what he stole, whatever senior wants, as long as the Song Family has it, I’m willing to offer it." Liu Zhenyang said without hesitation.
"Rest assured, the things I want, your Liu Family can definitely provide."
As the refined man finished speaking, countless streams of black mist emanated from him, enveloping the entire hall in an instant.
This sudden change caught everyone in the Liu Family off guard.
They stared at the endless black mist around them, their eyes full of confusion and uncertainty.
Although they didn’t understand what this black mist was.
Instinctively, it felt ominous.
"Senior, what are you doing?"
Liu Zhenyang exclaid.
"Didn’t you say you wanted to welco us?"
The refined man asked, beaming.
"Yes, we want to welco you, but trapping us here, how are we to do that?"
"No need, for you are the best food."
The refined man laughed sinisterly.
Behind him, more than ten black tentacles suddenly appeared.
"???"
Liu Zhenyang was stunned, not fully grasping the situation.
The others were the sa.
So had guessed the truth, but instinctively thought it impossible.
Because these were the people sent by the Elder Council, here to help them, how could they turn on them?
But reality gave them a harsh slap.
"Ah!"
A scream echoed.
A man on the periphery was impaled through the chest by a black tentacle. In less than a second, he turned into a desiccated corpse, collapsing to the ground.
"!!!"
All the Liu Family mbers were stunned at that mont.
They stared at the dried corpse on the ground, their brains seemingly shutting down.
How could this be?
How could it be?
The reinforcents sent by the Elder Council killed their family mber right in front of them?
"Senior! What are you doing!" Liu Zhenyang was terrified but mostly enraged.
"Ah!"
The response was another scream.
A black tentacle pierced through a second person, who instantly beca a dried corpse.
The brutal-looking man beside him shook his head and walked away.
"Senior, have you lost your mind! You are killing our Liu Family mbers!"
Liu Zhenyang scread hysterically.
He began to suspect that these two might not have been sent by the Elder Council.
But if they weren’t sent by the Elder Council, why did they ntion it and inquire about Chen Fan? Everything seed too coincidental.
"Hahaha, aren’t you the one who said to welco properly? My favorite food is blood, hahaha."
The refined man laughed wildly as multiple tentacles shot out from his back, impaling several Liu Family mbers at once.
"No, no..." A man’s voice was cut off, turning into a desiccated corpse with a gaping mouth, appearing extrely tragic.
"No, please, I don’t want to die."
"Patriarch, save us, save us."
The cries of despair filled the air.
"How could this be? How could this be?"
The clan head Liu Zheng was paralyzed with fear.
He had never seen such a bizarre scene before.
"You are not from the Elder Council. Who exactly are you?"
Liu Zhenyang’s eyes were bloodshot, True Essence surging within him.
"You are mistaken. We were indeed sent by those old fogies."
The refined man’s eyes glinted mockingly.
"No! Impossible! You’re lying! The Elder Council would never allow you to slaughter our Liu Family, nor would they employ such demonic beings!"
"Is that so?"
The refined man continued talking and laughing, killing several more people effortlessly.
With his power, he could have killed everyone in an instant.
But he found this too boring.
He preferred to savor the despair of his prey before they died, which was more enjoyable.
"Stop! Stop it now!"
In utmost urgency, every second saw the death of more family mbers. Yet, his plea seed to get no response.
"I’ll fight you!"
Gritting his teeth, he charged at the refined man.
"Splat!"
A tentacle directly broke through his Protective True Qi and pierced through his chest.
"Old fool, do you not know your place? Originally, I planned to kill you later, but you insisted on seeking death." The refined man snorted coldly, eyes filled with disdain.
