Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Aren’t you killing because you’re saving it for New Year? (2nd Update)
Qianniao Zhen felt as if her head was being stomped into the ground, a sense of humiliation so intense and unprecedented that she nearly went mad.
Yet she dared not disobey Xue An’s words.
Because she could feel the thick, almost tangible, killing intent emanating from Xue An.
She had no doubts that if she dared not listen, this man would definitely crush her head without hesitation.
At this moment, to save her life, she could no longer care about anything else.
“My lord, spare my life, I did not mean to offend you just now, everything was done by the Wuwang Sect, please do not kill me! If only you would spare me, my father will offer you endless wealth!” Qianniao Zhen said with a trembling voice, deliberately revealing her slender waist.
She was confident in her figure, hoping to please Xue An this way.
But Xue An didn’t even glance at her, simply stating, “What’s the deal with those from the Hua Clan?”
“My lord, they were sent by my father! He said they were captured from a neighboring country! And I truly didn’t know about the mistreatment of these prisoners of war, please grant me your forgiveness!” Qianniao Zhen begged.
Xue An nodded, “I really don’t like to kill women!”
Qianniao Zhen heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Damn it, once I get out of here, I will definitely find a way to get revenge for today’s events tenfold! Qianniao Zhen vowed bitterly inside, while maintaining a pitiful expression on her face.
“But now I feel, killing a few would not be bad! Because I have said before, you people, have no reason to exist anymore!” said Xue An, pressing down with his foot.
Qianniao Zhen felt as if a huge mountain was pressing on her head, getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn’t help but scream in terror.
“No… you can’t kill me! If you kill me, my father will never let you go, and the Wuwang Sect, if you kill those from the Wuwang Sect, they won’t let you go either!” Qianniao Zhen, seeing that begging for mercy was futile, started to make threats.
At her words, the corners of Xue An’s mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile.
“Don’t worry, including your father, none of these people… will escape!”
As he said this, Xue An exerted force with his foot, followed by a crunching sound.
Qianniao Zhen’s head was crushed.
Blood mixed with brain matter spread all over the place, her formerly beautiful face now horribly distorted.
Then a gray glow rose from the corpse.
With a casual wave of his hand, Xue An brought the glow into his palm.
Inside was a miniature, terrified-looking Qianniao Zhen, bowing down to Xue An as if begging for mercy.
Xue An’s expression remained blank as he clenched his fist, crushing the soul to pieces.
From that moment, Qianniao Zhen’s soul was scattered, utterly obliterated.
When Xue An returned to Qianniao City.
Xiao Shui, seeing him return safely, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted him, “Brother! Did you catch them?”
Xue An nodded.
“Where are they?” Xiao Shui’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.
“I killed them!” Xue An replied indifferently.
“Killed… killed them?” Xiao Shui was stunned.
“People like that, if not killed, should we keep them for the New Year?”
“But… but…” Xiao Shui was somewhat panicked.
He had thought that Xue An would capture Qianniao Zhen and bring her back, which would then give them an advantage in negotiations with the monarch of the Qianniao Kingdom by using this hostage.
But he hadn’t expected Xue An to kill Qianniao Zhen outright.
By this time, the rest of the Hua Clan had already rescued the Hua Clan slaves in Qianniao City.
Seeing these people with dazed expressions, unaware of how much suffering they had endured, Xue An’s killing intent grew ever stronger.
Once back at the original City Lord’s Mansion, Xiao Shui approached somewhat hesitantly, “Brother, what do you plan to do next?”
“What do you think?” Xue An looked at the youth.
Xiao Shui bit his lip, “Today you killed people from the Wuwang Sect and also killed Qianniao Zhen, this will definitely provoke retaliation from both parties! I think the best thing to do now is to take enough food and gold and leave this place!”
Xue An silently watched Xiao Shui, until he lowered his head in slight embarrassment, then Xue An smiled faintly.
“You’re right! But now, the Qianniao Kingdom and the Wuwang Sect won’t have time for revenge!”
“Hmm? Why?”
“Because they’re plotting something else and can’t spare their attention here!” Xue An said indifferently.
After he extinguished He Tianyuan’s divine soul, he obtained a lot of useful information from his memories.
This included their purpose for coming to Qianniao City.
“True Immortal Relics? Heh… it does sound very enticing! No wonder it has attracted so much covetous attention.”
Xue An murmured to himself and then said to Xiao Shui, “These next few days, you will lead everyone to stay in Qianniao City and recover well!”
“Brother, what are you going to do?”
“Join in the excitement! See for myself what kind of exceptional talents this northwest region really has!”
In the following days, Xue An began to eliminate the remnants within the city.
Due to Xue An’s astonishing actions that day, everyone in the city had become obedient and dared not make the slightest move.
At the same time, Xue An also modified the city a bit, setting up several simple arrays.
Although simple, they were capable of withstanding one or two Mojia Troops.
Xue An also intended to teach Xiao Shui some Spell Decrees.
However, he found that Xiao Shui and the rest of the Hua Clan’s meridians were extremely weak, to the extent that one could say they did not exist.
Without meridians, there was no talk of cultivation.
No wonder there were hardly any cultivators within the entire Hua Clan.
But why was this the case?
Xue An was somewhat puzzled in his heart.
However, since they could not cultivate Cultivation Techniques, he decided to teach them some physical skills first!
Xue An directly transferred a complete set of physical cultivation methods to Xiao Shui through his Divine Sense, and also gave several Battle Formation Techniques!
These things could quickly transform these Hua Clan people into an army with combat abilities.
Xiao Shui might not understand why the once slow-witted Brother An had suddenly become so powerful!
But he was very clear about the value of the things that Xue An had given him, so in his ecstatic state, he immediately began training.
It had to be said that Xiao Shui was a genius at deploying troops and handling affairs.
The vast Qianniao City was managed by him in an orderly manner.
After finishing all this, Xue An quietly left one evening.
His destination was the Bafang Mountain, a thousand miles away from Qianniao City!
Meanwhile.
In the capital of Qianniao Kingdom, within an imposing Imperial Palace, there was a room dedicated to various plaques.
This place was the most important to the Royal Family of the Qianniao Kingdom.
The Ancestral Ground.
When Qianniao Zhen’s divine soul was completely extinguished, the plaque representing her spontaneously combusted, burning to ashes in an instant.
The Divine Officer in charge of the Ancestral Ground paled greatly at the sight.
“Her Highness the Princess has met with misfortune, even her divine soul has not returned! Go report to the king immediately!”
“Yes!”
Soon, the king of the Qianniao Kingdom, Qianniao Haoyan, received the news.
He was furiously enraged!
“Summon my men, send out the troops, I want the murderer of my daughter hacked to pieces!” Qianniao Haoyan roared.
“Calm your anger, my king, now is not the good time to deal with this matter! Have you forgotten about Bafang Mountain…” The State Preceptor hurriedly came over to persuade.
Upon hearing this, Qianniao Haoyan’s expression tensed, and he ultimately let out a helpless sigh, gritting his teeth and saying, “Once this matter is dealt with, I will personally take action and utterly rip apart the person who killed my daughter!”
