Chapter 1523: 1523: Are There Any That Have Slipped Through the Net?
Even if slow-witted, the elder could guess a bit by now.
Coming from the Luoyang Residence, and not a local thereof, there was only one possibility.
It seemed that they learned about Rong Mountain from the mouths of the Shao Family Members, but only the head of the Luoyang-Shao family and a few old creatures knew of this secret. How could they have divulged the secret of Rong Mountain to outsiders?
Especially from the attitude of these two, they must be enemies of the Shao family, right?
Even if foolish, the family head wouldn’t betray the overall interests of the Shao family. Something must have happened.
“What have you done to the Shao family?” he asked with a livid face.
A thought arose in his heart but felt impossible, directly leading him to dismiss it.
“The Shao family—this Prince will soon send you underground to reunite with the Shao family members,” Qian Jiyun said with dimmed eyes and a cold voice.
Upon hearing these words, the elder’s hands, supported by two men in white robes, suddenly stiffened.
It seemed the Luoyang-Shao family had likely met with disaster!
“Are you Prince Zhanyun, Qian Jiyun?”
He stared at Qian Jiyun, and as he guessed Qian Jiyun’s identity, his entire body trembled.
The person before him called himself a prince, who else could it be but Qian Jiyun? Even in his arrogance, he knew this was not someone he could afford to provoke.
He had previously advised the head of the Shao family not to overdo it, to let the matters in the capital take their natural course, but the family head wouldn’t listen.
Now, with things turned out this way, he didn’t know what to say.
“Prince… Prince Zhanyun?”
The people behind the elder, upon hearing the four words “Prince Zhanyun,” instinctively retreated.
Who didn’t know that Prince Zhanyun was a Killing God, not only a murderer at the southern border but also the most formidable lord atop Huayan Peak in their Daqing Kingdom.
Now, such a person had personally come to Rong Mountain—could the lives of these people be spared?
“At least you’re perceptive.”
Qian Jiyun didn’t want to waste words with them and directly took action.
Before long, wails started to rise in every direction. Qian Jiyun didn’t finish these people quickly. Each strike of Original Soul targeted the vital points but was not immediately fatal.
Having killed so many children, simply ending them with one blow would be too kind. They deserved to die slowly amidst agony.
Let them watch their lives ebb away bit by bit—that would be the greatest punishment for them.
“Still feels like it’s too easy on them.”
An Jiuyue watched those who lay on the ground, unable to get up, and pursed her lips.
It was not that she was heartless, but towards these thoroughly evil people, there was no need for kindness. Being generous to them now would mean harming the common people of Daqing in the future.
“I’ll watch over here. Qian Jiyun, go see if there are any fish that slipped through the net.”
“Alright, be careful,” he replied.
After Qian Jiyun responded, admonishing her with a word, he turned and left.
“You… you will not have good deaths!”
The elder, seeing only An Jiuyue left, gasped and cursed.
He knew he wasn’t going to survive. Even if a good medicine were available, it couldn’t heal him. He could only curse the woman before him, wishing she’d meet the same fate.
“Pfft.”
An Jiuyue glanced at him coldly.
“The only ones not meeting a good end are you. Do you have any idea how many people you’ve harmed? Yet you’re here cursing others? If cursing really worked, you’d have died hundreds of times over already, wouldn’t you?”
