Liu Zixuan intended to pursue him, after all, leaving behind a guy like Meng Zeyang could only lead to disaster. But just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly felt his blood and energy surge within, a faint disorder in his meridians.

"Looks like I'm still a bit short."

Liu Zixuan forced himself to endure the discomfort in his body, helplessly cracking a grin.

The strongest strike by Elder Qin just now was almost entirely withstood by his own strength. Liu Zixuan thought that with his strong bloodline, miraculous medical skills, and the protection of the Ghost Gate Needle, he would be completely unharmed!

But now it seems that what he thought doesn't match reality.

Seeing the change in Liu Zixuan's complexion, the three beauties, Meng Yu, Meng Chen, and Doudou, hurriedly ran over.

Liu Zixuan waved his hand and looked towards Elder Qin.

With a sneer, he said, "See, that's your master whom you've been loyally serving. At critical moments, they won't care about your life and death, only their own preservation."

Elder Qin displayed a self-mocking smile: "Everyone is selfish, especially between life and death. This is our fate, unavoidable destiny!"

"Destiny? Only foolish people blindly resign themselves to fate!" Liu Zixuan coldly replied.

"You... truly are exceptional!"

Using the Blood Cry Blade for support, Elder Qin slowly stood up and staggered towards Elder Lin's body, then laughed, "In the end, you've gone before me, Old Lin. Wait for me, I'm coming soon!"

"Don't you want to know why you failed to kill me?" Liu Zixuan suddenly spoke.

Elder Qin slowly raised his head: "Does it still matter? I feel it no longer matters. Your strength is far beyond my expectation, and your character is more open than I imagined."

Liu Zixuan did harbor some pity for Elder Qin and continued, "Actually, you don't have to die. I can cure your wound."

Elder Qin shook his head: "Back in the day, those brothers who followed the old man to build the world, either left or died, in this Meng Family, only Old Lin and I remain. Now that Old Lin is dead, how could I live alone?"

"Liu Zixuan, a man's words are kind when he's about to die."

"Please, go ahead!" Liu Zixuan used the respectful form "you," rather than the informal "you," for a simple reason: Elder Qin was a worthy opponent.

"The murderous aura around you is too heavy. I can see you're burdened with things that ordinary people can't bear, but I advise you, restrain your killing intent a bit. Otherwise, you'll eventually court disaster."

After speaking, Elder Qin slowly lowered his head to look at Elder Lin, old tears coursing down his face as he murmured, "With both of us gone, the Meng Family is truly weakened!"

Slash!

The blade of the Blood Cry Knife sliced through his neck, and Elder Qin lay beside Elder Lin, closing his eyes.

Sigh...

Liu Zixuan exhaled, smiling bitterly, "If the Meng Family had a person like this, how could they be afraid of storms! Heroes emerge, yet it's a pity cowards are in charge, what a loss."

If the Meng Family had someone like Elder Qin leading, they would never have ended up like this, but unfortunately, it was someone like Meng Zeyang in charge.

Elder Qin's death might be due to feeling sorry for Elder Lin, wanting to traverse the Yellow Springs together, but indirectly, it was also because the Meng Family, Meng Zeyang and his wife, had broken his heart and let his spirit become cold!

"Zixuan, are you alright?" Meng Yu asked anxiously.

Liu Zixuan shook his head: "It's alright, a few days of rest and I'll be fine!"

"Meng Chen."

"What is it?"

"Give these two elders a proper burial, either here in Ghost Wood City or take them back to Celestial Capital." After saying this, Liu Zixuan walked towards the car.

Meng Yu and Doudou quickly followed.

In the Xiao Qiao apartment.

Jiang Yiyi paced in Liu Zixuan's room, looking very displeased.

"I say, Miss, can we take a break? You're making my head spin with your pacing!" Liu Zixuan said helplessly.

"Liu Zixuan, oh Liu Zixuan, what do I even say to you!"

Jiang Yiyi stopped walking and came to stand before Liu Zixuan, speaking very seriously, "Do you actually think you're truly invincible in the world? Do you think Blue Star can't contain you anymore?"

"I... What big thing did I do?" Liu Zixuan sneered, it's just some injuries, is Jiang Yiyi this angry?

"Be serious!"

Jiang Yiyi reprimanded, mumbling, "Let's not even get into the Willow Association matter, but this time, are you out of your mind? People use secret techniques to boost their strength, using Imperial Realm power against you, even if you want to play hero and don't dodge, at least have some protective measures, right?"

"What? You're so formidable, using your body to withstand it? Do you even know, this time you were lucky to hold up, if you weren't, you'd be dead, you know that!"

This last sentence was almost shouted out by Jiang Yiyi!

Being scolded by Jiang Yiyi, Liu Zixuan was momentarily stunned, then sneered, teasing, "Yiyi, if I remember correctly, this is the first time you've cared for someone, right? Worried about me, caring about me, does that mean you fell in love with me?"

"Love you like hell!"

Jiang Yiyi scolded angrily, "Even if I loved you, I wouldn't be with someone like you. If you don't cherish your own life, how could you value me. Who knows if you'll die outside one day, and I'll have to worry!"

"Even if you didn't consider me, or Doudou, have you thought about Ruyan? If you didn't make it through, what would Ruyan do?"

For a moment, Liu Zixuan was silent.

He suddenly recalled what Elder Qin had said earlier: your murderous aura is too heavy.

Coupled with what Jiang Yiyi just said, Liu Zixuan truly fell into deep thought.

However, his demeanor surprised Jiang Yiyi for a moment.

She tentatively called out Liu Zixuan's name, but he didn't respond, Jiang Yiyi pouted: "Could he be angry?"

She quickly sat down next to Liu Zixuan: "Hey, maybe my tone was a bit off, but it was for your own good, it shouldn't make you angry!"

"How could I be mad at you!"

Liu Zixuan lifted his head: "You're right, I was a bit too hasty. Because of the Willow Association incident earlier, I was anxious to breakthrough and enhance my strength, hoping to swiftly grow stronger, so I could openly bring Ruyan back."

"Are you okay? Are you sure you're not upset?"

Liu Zixuan suddenly not teasing or rebutting made Jiang Yiyi a bit unaccustomed because before, no matter what was said, Liu Zixuan would definitely oppose her.

Liu Zixuan chuckled: "I'm fine, don't worry, I'll adjust my mindset well."

Jiang Yiyi furrowed her brows and reached to touch Liu Zixuan's forehead: "No fever here, right?"

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, directly pulling Jiang Yiyi into his embrace: "What? Only by teasing you, you impudent little girl, would it seem normal? Are you used to me torturing you, and now you're craving something uniquely stimulating?"
