Xiaguang City, late at night, an antique inn looks particularly peaceful under the faint moonlight.

The cold wind blew by, causing the wooden signboard to sway slightly and make a faint creaking sound.

A figure appeared outside the inn like a ghost, and he pushed the door in as if nothing had happened.

Behind the counter, a fat shopkeeper was keeping his head down and was just about to raise his head when he heard a noise, when a voice came from behind his neck.

"Has everyone inquired about the situation?"

The voice was very indifferent. When he heard the voice, the fat shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, I haven't..."

"Shut up, you have no connection with our Xu family."

"Yes, yes, I have never met the young master. It's just that I haven't found out the identities of those noble young masters. They haven't revealed them yet."

"Trash, what room number do they live in?"

The fat shopkeeper quickly said the room number, and heard a cold snort. Then the feeling like a ray of light disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

His inn is not owned by the Xu family, but when doing business in Xiaguang City, it is impossible to bypass the Xu family. Therefore, when faced with the request to inquire about the identity of the noble young master who stayed at the hotel in the afternoon, the fat shopkeeper could only If you can bite the bullet and do it.

On the other side, a young man wearing white clothes, with long hair tied in a crown, and a somewhat feminine face appeared in the inn.

Behind him were two maids, both of whom were practicing.

“I don’t know where it comes from, so I have to find out first.”

Xu Qiu walked silently and went straight to the third floor of the inn. Although he still didn't know the identity of the group, Xu Qiu was still very confident. This came from his background and strength.

As one of the most outstanding disciples of the Xu family, he has entered the fifth level of the Yunling Realm at a young age. In the martial arts world, he is a figure like a great master.

He is not only a descendant of the Xu family, but also a disciple of Guanchao Pavilion.

The Xu family has been inherited for hundreds of years. The earliest ancestor was once a disciple of Guanchao Pavilion, and the family was formed after leaving the sect and branching out.

Since then, the Xu family has not completely severed contact with the Guanchao Pavilion. The children with outstanding talents in the family will go to the Guanchao Pavilion to practice, and gradually multiply and grow relying on some incestuous relationships in the past.

Nowadays, the Xu family has become the largest aristocratic family in Xiaguang City. There are hundreds of cultivating disciples in the family, and they also run various secular and cultivating-related industries.

Xu Qiu returned to the family from Guanchao Pavilion this time with a sect mission.

However, Xu Qiu rarely came back, so he planned to make some extra money and have some fun while he finally got down the mountain.

It just so happened that the noble man living in this inn must be very rich if he could hire a group of second-rate and first-rate martial arts masters as his bodyguards. He might also have training resources. He planned to inquire about the situation and see if he could Can't afford to provoke.

Coming to a door, Xu Qiu knocked on the door.

"who."

The surrounding rooms were opened, and the hired escorts came out vigilantly.

"I have taken the liberty of visiting you. Xu Qiu, the third son of the Xu family in Xiaguang City, is here to pay homage to all of you."

Xu Qiu had a harmless smile on his face and reached out to avoid hitting the smiling man. The bodyguards just looked at him warily. Perhaps they saw that he had an extraordinary status and did not look like a villain, so they did not choose to drive him away.

"Please come in."

At this time, a voice came from the door. Xu Qiu straightened his clothes, then pushed the door open and entered.

There was only a man and a woman playing chess in the room. The man had bright features and a sense of nobility, while the woman wore a veil on her face and had no expression on her brows.

"Your name is Xu Qiu, what do you want from us?"

Su Jie was still playing chess with Han Ruyan, without taking his eyes away from the chessboard.

Xu Qiu was very unhappy at being ignored, but he didn't show it on his face.

"I heard that there are distinguished guests visiting here. It would be inconvenient to visit without permission. I don't know what to call you. Our Xu family still has some respect in Xiaguang City. If you don't mind, we can take you to enjoy the scenery of our Xiaguang City. Landlord friendship, I know a lot of interesting places.”

Xu Qiu said, and the two maids behind him obediently came forward and presented several beautifully wrapped gift boxes, which were filled with valuable antique calligraphy and paintings.

Of course, Xu Qiu would not be so kind. His so-called fun trip was to take Su Jie to his casino and flower house to extract value from him, and also to find out his identity.

If the background is serious, they will naturally return all the property intact.

If you don't have enough background, then you can expect to lose all your wealth or even owe huge gambling debts.

While talking, Xu Qiu turned his attention to Han Ruyan, who was playing chess with Su Jie.

Although Han Ruyan wore a veil on her face, her good figure and snow-white skin showed that she was definitely a beautiful woman under the veil.

I just don't know why, but seeing Han Ruyan, a beautiful woman, Xu Qiu felt chilled in his heart, as if he was facing some savage beast.

"Tsk, tsk, your Guanchaoge family has a big business. When did you start a pimp business? You are so short of money!"

Su Jie chuckled twice when he heard this, and shifted his gaze from the chessboard to Xu Qiu.

"Who are you?"

Hearing this, Xu Qiu's expression immediately changed. Not everyone knew his identity.

"I've known you Guanchao Pavilion for a long time. You offered me a reward of five million spiritual stones, and now you don't even recognize me. Guanchao Pavilion's education for its disciples is not very good!"

Su Jie picked up a white chess piece and put it on the chessboard, forming a decisive blow.

"Five million spirit stones, you, you, you, you are a massacre with corpse hands"

In just a moment, Xu Qiu was numb all over, and his face was full of ashes.

Su Jie's name was too famous in Qingzhou. He killed Wei Ji, a righteous immortal seedling, in the sect battle, and had the feat of killing five secret treasure realms head-on. Therefore, the bounty on the head of Su Jie, the immortal seedling of Guiling Palace, was as high as 5 million spirit stones, which was unique in Qingzhou.

Han Ruyan looked at the chessboard for several seconds, put down the black chess piece in her hand expressionlessly, and said, "I lost."

As soon as the words fell, Han Ruyan looked at the three people in the room with dead and cold eyes, as if she regarded them as the culprits of her loss.

Crack!

Thunder burst out from Han Ruyan's red clothes. It was the heavenly tribulation absorbed by Han Ruyan, and the thunder as thick as a finger blasted down.

The two maids with the cultivation of the first and second levels of the Yunling Realm instantly turned into ashes, leaving only clothes on the floor.

Xu Qiu didn't even have time to escape. As soon as he turned around, hundreds of pale corpse hands grabbed him. The corpse hands wrapped around his whole body, leaving only his head exposed. As the corpse hands exerted force, the terrifying force crushed his bones. He wanted to scream, but there were also corpse hands coming out of his mouth, so he couldn't make any sound.

"Didn't you invite me to visit your Xu family? Since you are so interested, I will go there."

Su Jie slowly stood up and walked towards the window. Behind him was Xu Qiu's terrified and desperate eyes.

But he couldn't even make a sound to beg for mercy. He could only watch his body being torn and squeezed by the corpse hands, turning into a bloody meat ball mixed with bones and flesh, leaving only a head.

The next moment, Su Jie had already flown out of the window with the head in his hand and soared into the sky.

Han Ruyan was a little slower. She stretched out her jade finger and lightly tapped. The fat innkeeper who was nervous on the first floor suddenly exploded, and the red and white dyed the counter red.

The Xu family's mansion is located on the south side of Xiaguang City, covering an area of ​​70,000 to 80,000 square meters, accommodating dozens of courtyards and hundreds of houses.

Everywhere you can see towering ancient trees, green vines, rippling ponds, verdant and vivid bamboo forests, carved and jade-built pavilions, flying eaves and corners, and exquisite brackets, showing the style of a noble family.

However, unlike the elegance and luxury imagined, there was a sound of mourning on an open space in the mansion.

Thousands of refugees were being slaughtered like chickens and dogs, becoming thousands of souls under the knife.

Those Xu family children sharpened their knives one by one, waving their sharp long knives at the tied refugees.

Blood and internal organs were spread all around, and the smell of blood was pungent, as if they were in a slaughterhouse.

These refugees who were given porridge by the Xu family during the day would never have thought that the Xu family, who was kind and generous and treated them sincerely during the day, would slaughter them like pigs and dogs after recruiting them into the mansion.

In the center of the open space, a large pit with a diameter of tens of meters was dug. A blood-red flame was lit in the pit, and corpses were thrown into it one by one.

If you look closely, you will find a huge cauldron in the pit. The corpses were refined in a short time.

At the bottom of the cauldron, there are dozens of blood pills the size of fingers. The pills are round and smooth, with a faint fragrance. It is impossible to tell what the raw materials are.

In an attic not far from the open space, sandalwood is lingering and brocade is paved on the floor.

A jade bottle is quietly placed on the table, with a few blooming peonies inserted in it, which is rich and noble. A landscape painting is hung on the wall, with ink dripping and clouds and mist lingering, as if cranes will fly out at any time.

Xu Liangpan, the head of the Xu family, was sitting here. He looked at the slaughter below and told his eldest son Xu Juyi: "With this batch of refugees, we can collect nearly a hundred blood pills. Juyi, you will personally escort this batch of blood pills to Liuyun Mountain Villa. With the recommendation and care of Elder Zhuang, you may become his disciple, and our family will become stronger."

"Thank you, Dad. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Xu Juyi's face was happy, knowing that this was an opportunity his father had fought for him.

Although he was also a disciple of Guanchao Pavilion, he was just an ordinary inner disciple in Guanchao Pavilion and had no way to get in touch with Elder Zhuang.

This time, if he could seize the opportunity and climb up, he would benefit from it for the rest of his life.

After all, the person he was befriending was the Grand Elder of Guanchao Pavilion!

Xu Liangpan nodded slightly and said, "This family will be handed over to you in the future. You should make good friends with fellow disciples and elders in Guanchao Pavilion. These will become our background in the future. Don't slack off."

"My son understands. I have always been trying to win over fellow disciples and have a good relationship with them."

"Just understand the importance of the matter. By the way, the third brother has been out for a long time tonight. Why is there no movement?"

Xu Liangpan felt a little uneasy when he talked about another matter.

"Dad, Xiaguang City is our territory, and Aqiu is a fifth-level cultivator in the Yunling Realm. Are you afraid that something will happen to him?"

Xu Juyi disagreed, but seeing his father Xu Liangpan's face, he changed his words and said, "Then I will go out to find him and bring him to see you."

As he spoke, Xu Juyi was about to leave.

But at this moment, there was a commotion outside.

"What the hell, where did all those paper figures come from?"

"Ghosts, ghosts!"

"Get your weapons, there are demon cultivators causing trouble in our Xu family, they don't want to live anymore."

"I can't beat them, I can't beat them at all, please don't kill me, it's none of my business!"

Xu Juyi and Xu Liangpan were stunned, and hurried to the window, and saw a scene that made the father and son's pupils shrink.

But paper figures with erratic figures appeared in the mansion, walking on the ground, walls and ceiling.

These paper figures were cut out of white paper, with eyes, noses and mouths dotted with ink on their faces, and thick blush on both sides. All the paper figures held paper knives, paper guns and paper swords, killing anyone they saw. The blood fell on them and immediately seeped into them. The corners of the paper figures' mouths cracked to the roots of their ears, becoming more and more ferocious.

In the bronze mirror of the mansion, a woman twisted her body, her arms extended dozens or hundreds of meters long, dragging the living into the mirror.

The hanging lanterns of the Xu family had all turned white at this time, with a big word "Dian" written on them. When a living person passed by, the head would automatically detach from the neck and turn into a new white lantern.

The Xu family's disciples who were practicing and the martial arts masters who were recruited to protect the courtyard seemed particularly vulnerable in front of these strange ghosts. They were killed like pigs and dogs, just like they killed those refugees.

Occasionally, the Xu family members who were able to fight back, and who had the third or fourth level of the Yunling Realm, would be attacked by the paper crowd and torn to pieces.

In the sky above the mansion in the distance, a woman in a red wedding dress was floating there, and a strange blood moon phantom appeared behind her.

"Ghost cultivation, it's the Tianhun Sect!"

Seeing this scene, the first thing that came to Xu Juyi and Xu Liangpan's mind was the Tianhun Sect.

After the sect war in Qingzhou half a year ago, after repelling the five righteous sects together with the Guiling Palace, the Tianhun Sect also became famous in Qingzhou, but it was just a fierce reputation. Who in the underworld doesn't know that this sect is good at raising ghosts!

Seeing his children and family members die tragically at the hands of evil spirits, Xu Juyi was angry and fear came like a tide. He put his hand on the storage bag on his waist, but he had no courage to take out the magic weapon and go to fight the evil spirits.

Because the evil spirits that invaded their Xu family, no matter how you look at it, are not something he can deal with at the seventh level of the Yunling Realm.

Just now, Xu Juyi saw with his own eyes that an uncle of his generation, a strong man with the eighth level of the Soul Condensation Realm, and also the most powerful master of their Xu family, was only looked at by the floating wedding dress ghost in the sky.

The uncle's clothes turned into a red wedding dress, and his body was like a cocoon wrapped by a spider. The red wedding dress was getting tighter and tighter, and the human body was like being thrown into a meat grinder, and from the sleeves, collars and hems, it was squeezed out into meat paste.

The Xu family is a noble family in Xiaguang City. The entire family has broken through the fifth level of the Soul Condensation Realm. Together with the recruited worshippers, there are only a few palms, which is not enough for the ghost to kill in a few seconds.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, how can there be such a cruel ghost, when did we offend the Heavenly Soul Sect."

Xu Liangpan's face became extremely ugly and angry, but after calming down a little, he quickly pulled his eldest son's hand.

"Follow me and leave through the secret passage. These ghosts are too strong. Our people are doomed. Let's go to Guanchao Pavilion."

It must be said that Xu Liangpan is also a ruthless person. He dared to abandon his family and property and chose to escape without hesitation.

But Xu Liangpan just turned around and found that a man was sitting where he had just sat, with a round object on the table.

"Master Xu, where are you in such a hurry to go? Your family invited me to be a guest, but you didn't show any courtesy at all. At least give me a cup of tea."

Su Jie had a smile as bright as the sun on his face. The object on the table, when he looked closely, turned out to be Xu Qiu's head. His eyes were wide open, revealing deep pain, unwillingness and despair, as if he had suffered inhuman torture before his death.

In conjunction with the screams of killing outside, Su Jie's figure was like a nightmare in the eyes of the Xu family father and son, making their hands and feet cold and fear devouring their bodies and minds.
