Chapter 473: Isolate myself, to live or die

Another half day passed.

The sky gradually darkened.

In front of the Liu Mansion in Qian Yuan City, it became lively. Crowds gathered, making noise and forming a circle, all pointing and whispering.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Liu family is really something. Before, they relied on Liu Beifeng, who joined the Qingming Sect, to bully and dominate in Qian Yuan City, engaging in monopolistic practices. Their disciples were arrogant and looked down on everyone. Now that Liu Beifeng and the Qingming Sect have been wiped out by those beings from the upper realm, the Liu family's power and status have plummeted. All the families they bullied in the past are coming to kick them while they're down. Seeing that their days are numbered, they're pushing Liu Beifeng's lineage out to take the blame, hoping to gain forgiveness from the other families!"

"I have a relative who works as a guard in the Liu family. I know some inside information. Actually, when Liu Beifeng joined the Qingming Sect and became a disciple of that True Lord Ziyun, the Liu family soared, but the people of Liu Beifeng's lineage didn't get much benefit. Moreover, it was the other lineages that were bullying and dominating!"

"So, the members of Liu Beifeng's lineage are somewhat pitiful!"

"Of course, they're pitiful. They didn't enjoy much of the benefits, and now they even have to die to apologize to the other families in the city for the sake of the family!"

"Shhh, keep your voice down. Don't let those villains from the Liu family hear you. Although they've lost power, it's still easy for them to deal with us commoners!"

Most of the onlookers were commoners with no backing or background, mixed with a few spies sent by the families in the city. The reason these families sent spies was not because they really wanted to see how the Liu family apologized, but to watch the joke.

A family had to be so degenerate to come up with such an outrageous method of executing its own family members to preserve itself.

In addition to the spies, there was also a Foundation Establishment old ancestor who appeared to be a rogue cultivator, but was actually Liu Beifeng in disguise.

She looked at the family members kneeling on the ground in front of the mansion. Although she didn't have much affection for these family members, when she observed the emptiness and numbness in their eyes, as if they had lost interest in everything, especially the coldness, and that some of them had messy hair with burn marks, and even dense wounds on their chests, and thick bloodstains on their faces, stretching from the corners of their eyes to their necks, it was enough to see how inhumanely her family members had been tortured in this short half-day.

"Should I save these family members?"

A trace of struggle flashed in Liu Beifeng's eyes. She was here in disguise, merely playing the role of a Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator. Although the Foundation Establishment stage could be a king or ancestor in mortal kingdoms, in Qian Yuan City, if you hit someone with a stick, nine out of ten would be in the Foundation Establishment stage, and the remaining one would be half-step Foundation Establishment.

Her feelings for these family members were not deep, but blood was thicker than water. How could she stand by and watch them die? But she was worried that if she took action, she might be noticed by those beings from the upper realm and expose her whereabouts, which would implicate her master. At this moment, she was a little confused.

Suddenly, at this moment.

Some Liu family members rushed out of the Liu Mansion, holding weapons and charging aggressively towards the crowd. Without any warning, they ruthlessly smashed at the onlookers. In an instant, wails were everywhere, accompanied by curses and the sound of weapons fighting.

"Your Liu family is too arrogant and despotic. We're just watching, why are you attacking us?"

A Qi Refining cultivator retreated while fighting, angrily questioning the Liu family disciple who was chasing him.

The Liu family disciple sneered and said, "Just a broken Qi Refining rogue cultivator, daring to interfere in my Liu family's affairs. Today, I'll kill you as a warning to others!"

"Hmph, I won't get involved in today's excitement, but the mountains don't turn, but the roads do. We'll meet again sooner or later!"

The Qi Refining rogue cultivator forcibly exploded his power, pushing the chasing Liu family disciple back several steps. Seeing that the other Liu family disciples were besieging him, he knew that if he continued to entangle, he might die here. Therefore, he hurriedly left a harsh word and turned around and fled in a sorry state.

"Waste, vulnerable to a single blow. Someone like you dares to interfere in my Liu family's affairs!"

The Liu family disciple spat fiercely, then began to look for a target. He specialized in finding those who refused to be disciplined, thinking that a beating would teach these troublemakers a lesson.

Then, somehow, the Liu family disciple's eyes met Liu Beifeng's. Originally, he wanted to glance past, but when he met Liu Beifeng's eyes, the other party didn't look away, and even stared at him coldly, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

Regarding this unusual feeling, the Liu family disciple's mind suddenly tensed up, fearing that he had encountered some ruthless person. In this chaotic era, it was possible to bully the weak, but it was absolutely impossible to provoke ruthless people, because these ruthless people were often some lower realm geniuses who had been imprisoned by those beings from the upper realm, and then released by those beings from the upper realm. In order not to attract attention, these lower realm geniuses often ran to remote, desolate places to take refuge through seclusion.

These people must never be provoked, because once provoked, these lower realm geniuses would have no choice but to kill people to silence them in order not to expose their whereabouts.

But when he observed carefully, he found that this person was unremarkable, and his cultivation was at most in the Foundation Establishment stage. Immediately, his courage grew. Of course, in order to avoid accidents, he still called for a few helpers. These helpers were all in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage of the Liu family. He thought that with these people combined, they should be more than enough to deal with a mere Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator.

"What are you looking at? Are you blind? These wastes are all running away, but you still dare to stay here. Do you think that just because you're in the Foundation Establishment stage, you can interfere in our Liu family's affairs?"

The Liu family disciple looked ferocious, and rushed towards Liu Beifeng with his helpers, looking like he wanted to beat Liu Beifeng into a cripple.

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Liu Beifeng's eyes. She was not a soft-hearted person. When she was young, because of her extraordinary talent, the Liu family placed high hopes on her and sent her to the Yunfu Mountains to fight those fur-wearing beasts. She didn't know how many scars she had left on her body. Her past experiences had already turned her into a heart of stone. It wasn't until she met her master and a group of senior sisters that her heart gradually softened. She found that not all efforts required corresponding rewards. During her time at Ziyun Peak, she truly felt the warmth of home, and began to hate the people and things of the Liu family.

But because of her bloodline, she didn't break up with the Liu family, but had been enduring it until now, when she saw what the Liu family had done, she felt extreme pain in her heart, as if the flesh and blood that had finally grown out were being torn apart bit by bit, revealing the original face inside.

But she didn't want to tear it open like this, because she couldn't bear to leave the home of Ziyun Peak, the friendly and kind senior sisters, the grass and trees of Ziyun Peak, and even... even her master!

Therefore, she endured her disgust and stared at the Liu family disciples who rushed over, and said coldly:

"Does your Liu family not think that you are doing a bit too much? Everyone is just watching, why are you so exasperated to drive them away? Is it because everyone said things that your Liu family didn't like to hear, touched your sore spots, so you are jumping so high?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, daring to chew on our Liu family's tongue here, deserves a beating!"

The Liu family disciple heard Liu Beifeng's question, as if a cat had been stepped on its tail, his face instantly turned livid, and he said sternly.

In the meantime, several Liu family disciples came to Liu Beifeng, forming a three-sided encirclement, and used the Xuan-level low-grade Combined Sword Formation. This sword technique consisted of three Yellow-level high-grade sword techniques. For the Foundation Establishment stage, it was already a good technique. When facing rogue cultivators, it could even completely crush them, but in front of Liu Beifeng, the so-called sword formation was like a paper full of holes. A finger could easily tear this paper apart.

Because the one who guided Liu Beifeng was the Nascent Soul Xuan who possessed a flawless sword heart. In Liu Beifeng's heart, if the sword path of the senior sister was like the blue sky above her head, then the sword path of the three Liu family disciples in front of her was like dust, not even dust. Their sword skills were not worthy of being called a path!

They were defiling the sword path!

A cold light flashed in Liu Beifeng's eyes, and she gently swiped her finger. Although she used the power of the Foundation Establishment stage, it was comparable to the Nascent Soul stage. The terrifying power swept across the surrounding void, covering a large area of space. A gust of wind blew, and it directly blew all three of the attackers away!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

In a series of three sounds, the three people who were blown away flew dozens of feet away, and after falling to the ground, they vomited blood non-stop, as if they were dying, their faces became extremely pale.

Because Liu Beifeng was still thinking about the love of the same clan, and she didn't want to tear apart the flesh and blood that she had finally grown out, so she didn't kill them, but only seriously injured them.

The huge commotion here immediately attracted the attention of most people, especially the elders of the Liu family. When they saw their carefully cared for juniors being beaten so miserably by a stranger, their faces were bloodless and they fell to the ground weakly, as if they were about to die at any time, they suddenly became furious and shouted:

"Where did this thief come from, daring to hurt my Liu family's disciples, I think you don't want to live!"

Two or three Nascent Soul stage old men attacked Liu Beifeng with angry expressions. Because of the fate of these old men, the pressure on the other onlookers was suddenly reduced. They all looked at Liu Beifeng gratefully, and then ran away without looking back. After all, the Liu family was once the first family in Qian Yuan City. Even if they have lost power now, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse. Not to mention the other people of the Liu family, just these three Nascent Soul stage old men are not so easy to deal with.

At least in their opinion, the Foundation Establishment stage Liu Beifeng was definitely not the opponent of these old men, so they simply took this opportunity to slip away. As for Liu Beifeng's safety, they would definitely come to burn paper for her next year today.

Looking at the Liu family elders who rushed over without distinguishing right from wrong, Liu Beifeng clearly felt that the flesh and blood on her heart was being peeled off bit by bit, and the speed was getting faster and faster. When these old men rushed to her, the flesh and blood that had finally grown on her heart would completely fall off.

"No, don't, I want to always protect Ziyun Peak, protect my master... protect..."

A trace of reluctance and attachment flashed in Liu Beifeng's eyes, but in the next moment, her expression became even colder. Unlike the senior sister's coldness, the senior sister was as cold as frost, and strangers should not approach, while Liu Beifeng was to slowly freeze herself from the inside, and never contact the outside world again, completely locking herself up.

"Bluffing, just a small Foundation Establishment stage, an ant, can be slapped to death easily!"

The Liu family elders were very disdainful. Even if their talent was really heaven-defying, their realm was still there. As strong men who had been immersed in the Nascent Soul stage for many years, their accumulation and cultivation were far from what a mere Foundation Establishment stage could compare to.

"Looking for..." Liu Beifeng's pupils suddenly dyed a layer of red, bloody and enchanting. The fist that she had been clenching just now, the fingertips had even been deeply embedded in the flesh and blood of her palm, but now she was slowly loosening it.

The words 'death' had already come to Liu Beifeng's lips, and were about to blurt out, but she heard a soft bang. She saw that the three Liu family elders who had rushed over just now, their bodies directly evaporated into ashes in an instant, and all this happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned in place, not understanding what had happened, how the three well-behaved Nascent Soul stage powerhouses had disappeared so absurdly, without even making a scream.

"Being bullied?"

And at this moment.

A gentle voice was transmitted in the void, and then, everyone looked up and looked towards the source of the voice, and saw a burly figure descending from the sky and coming to Liu Beifeng's side, and gently patted her shoulder with his hand, comforting her.

In the blink of an eye, the red in Liu Beifeng's eyes receded like a tide. She looked at the burly figure, and the flesh and blood that had been peeled off layer by layer in her heart recovered as before in an instant. She stared at the burly figure with admiration, and nodded strangely, and said:

"Yes, they bullied me!"

"Life or death?"

The burly figure stretched out his hand and touched Liu Beifeng's head.

Liu Beifeng only felt warm in her heart. She stretched out her finger and pointed at the group of numb family members kneeling on the ground, and said, "They live, the rest die!"

"Okay."

The burly figure nodded.

The onlookers around were a little surprised when they heard the conversation between the two, but when they recalled that the three Nascent Soul stage experts had been burned to ashes for no reason just now, they felt that this burly figure definitely had the strength to destroy the Liu family.

That is to say, the Liu family kicked the iron plate this time!

And those rogue cultivators who were chased by the Liu family disciples just now, because of the appearance of the burly figure, directly did not escape, but instead the Liu family disciples became the ones to escape.

Those Liu family disciples fled into the Liu Mansion like frightened birds. They didn't even dare to look at the burly figure, because the burly figure was standing there motionless, and the aura he exuded was much stronger than their family head.

Soon, a rush of footsteps came from the Liu Mansion, and a middle-aged man with gray hair led a large group of people out in a hurry. When he looked up and saw the burly figure, the middle-aged man's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he knelt down on the ground directly with his people without raising his head, his posture was humble, and his tone was uneasy:

"Senior, my Liu family..."

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, the burly figure raised his hand, and a sky-covering palm appeared in the void. He slapped it down on the Liu Mansion without any hesitation. Except for the family members kneeling in front of the door, along with the middle-aged man, the Liu Mansion, all the people or things inside the mansion, were all crushed into powder!
