Lu Xuan gave them a cold look before pointing outward with a finger. The Geng Metal Sword turned into a stream of sword light that cut off their heads. Lu Xuan never intended to let them off the hook.
Lu Xuan looked at Liu Haotian, who seemed to have wanted to say something but had second thoughts. Lu Xuan said, “Is it unbearable for you?”
“No, it’s just…” Liu Haotian looked at Lu Xuan before looking at the two bodies without heads. He was at a loss for words.
Lu Xuan knew what he was thinking. Back when Lu Xuan was younger, he had been just as soft-hearted as Liu Haotian was now. Eventually, he became the person he currently was today; nobody was born a homicidal maniac.
After going through so much, he had a better understanding of what to do.
Lu Xuan said, “You are a descendant of the sacred ones. Now, you have awakened the blood of the sacred ones. Therefore, they need you to lead them. You may still be young, but you can’t afford to be so soft-hearted!”
He had seen many geniuses get tricked by others into getting themselves killed. Geniuses were only good at cultivation; that didn’t mean they were also good at reading people’s hearts.
Many people had been killed by sinister villains before they even had a chance to shine.
Liu Haotian nodded and said, “I understand, uncle!” The death of the man and the woman did not faze him. While he was still being hunted in the past, he had seen many people die in the process.
Lu Xuan said, “These two people had an ulterior motive. If we let them go so easily, they would’ve definitely revealed our whereabouts! That’s why I had to kill them. As the saying goes, if you want to deal with a problem, you have to go to the root of it. If it’s not thoroughly dealt with now, then the problem will eventually worsen later on!”
He then added, “I want you to remember this: don’t cause trouble for anyone, but don’t be afraid when someone makes trouble for you!”
Liu Haotian nodded. Although he still didn’t fully understand what Lu Xuan meant, he would remember it for the rest of his life.
Lu Xuan then coldly said, “Now, it’s time to deal with the Jiang family!”
He never expected them to have caused such a commotion even after many elders and the leader of the Jiang family were killed. Nobody knew how many people began searching for them after being tempted by the Jiang family’s offer.
However, Lu Xuan wasn’t the kind of person who avoided situations like this. If Lu Xuan wanted to solve this, he had to go directly to the root of the problem.
In other words, he needed to get rid of the Jiang family once and for all.
As long as the Jiang family was taken care of, part of the trouble would be resolved!
As for the rest, it was inevitable. As a descendant of the sacred ones who had awakened the blood of the sacred ones, it was impossible for Liu Haotian to avoid the countless prying eyes of others. Unless he and Lu Xuan could leave the Holy Sun Continent right now, they would’ve been found sooner or later.
“I’ll go to the Jiang family right now and avenge Aunt Liu and Uncle Zhang.”
Lu Xuan looked at Liu Haotian and said, “Originally, I wanted to keep the Jiang family alive so that you can use them to sharpen your skills in the future and grow. However, it looks like we cannot wait for such an opportunity to arise. Since the Jiang family doesn’t seem to know their place, I might as well get rid of them now!”
Liu Haotian looked at Lu Xuan with a pair of wide teary eyes and said, “Take me with you, Uncle. I can help! My parents, Aunt Liu, and Uncle Zhang all died because of them. I want to see them die!”
Liu Haotian’s expression was a bit mature and resolute. This wasn’t something someone his age should’ve had.
Lu Xuan sighed and said, “Okay, I’ll take you there. We’ll see who dares to hurt you while I’m there!”
Even if it meant Lu Xuan would lose everything, he decided to get rid of the Jiang family today.
For him, killing people was no different from pulling grass. The Jiang family had completely angered him!
———–
The ancestral home of the Jiang family was located in a mountain range.
The entire ancestral home looked very picturesque, being located next to the mountains and river. It had amazing formations, protecting the entire Jiang family in the middle. Looking at it from a distance, it looked very hazy.
On that day, countless people passed through at the foot of the mountain. Many of them were expert cultivators. This was because many people knew that it was the birthday of a Great Ancestor from the Jiang family.
Having traveled around the world when he was young, this Great Ancestor had made many friends on his travels. He was the only elder left in the Jiang family.
Many of the other elders from the Jiang family were killed some time ago, including even the head of the family.
However, this Great Ancestor still did things without restraint.
One by one, countless experts came forward to congratulate him.
In particular, many experts had arrived for the arrest notice from the Jiang family. It was this Great Ancestor who decided to offer up half of the Jiang family’s fortune as a reward for finding Lu Xuan and Liu Haotian, after all.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Jiang family to give away half of their fortune without it seeming like some sort of scam.
At the foot of the mountain, the welcoming disciples of the Jiang family stopped a young man in a white robe accompanied by a child.
One disciple asked, “Who are you and why did you come to the Jiang family? Do you have an invitation?”
“I came to the Jiang family to uproot them!”
Lu Xuan’s voice was loud and forceful, like a big bell.
Next to him, Liu Haotian grasped Lu Xuan’s clothes. Although he was a little scared, a trace of hatred lingered in his eyes.
The Jiang family had killed almost all of Liu Haotian’s close relatives. Even though he was only a few years old, he had already learned what hatred was.
If Lu Xuan hadn’t been looking after him, he would have gone into a deep depression.
The welcoming disciple responded by suddenly shouting, “What?! We have an enemy here!”
All the disciples near the Jiang family immediately rushed over. They pulled out their power items and pointed them at Lu Xuan as if they wanted to see through him.
Upon seeing such a scene, all of the guests at the foot of the mountain who were about to enter immediately retreated. Even a complete idiot could’ve seen that Lu Xuan did not have any good intentions
There was no way that the white-robed young man killed so many people on his way to the Jiang family just to celebrate the Great Ancestor’s birthday.
Therefore, he must’ve had evil intentions!
The welcoming disciple of the Jiang family pointed his sword at Lu Xuan and shouted, “Who on earth are you? State your name!”
“Who am I? Isn’t your Jiang family looking for me? Why are you even asking this? Don’t you remember anything?”
Lu Xuan looked at the disciples of the Jiang family in front of him and smiled.
One by one, the disciples of the Jiang family realized something. The disciples muttered amongst themselves, “Isn’t this the demon that the Jiang family is looking for recently? Isn’t this the one who had caused heavy losses for the Jiang family? Then that child next to him must be Liu Haotian, the descendant of the sacred ones!”
Suddenly, everyone felt as if they were facing a huge enemy. They all felt a chill go down their back and their scalp go numb.
This crazy demon had killed many of the elders of the Jiang family. During this period, almost every family member had been mourning for their deceased leader while this was happening. Therefore, the Jiang family held a bitter grudge against Lu Xuan and Liu Haotian.
The Jiang family’s welcoming disciples roared, “Kill him!”
His words caused a battle to instantly break out.
