Chapter 18: Liu Xingchang
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Sir, how far are we from Liu Fuxue?”
As they went deeper into the forest, Yang Wen’s hair stood on end.
He could feel the surroundings gradually changing.
It was clearly daytime, but there seemed to be ghostly shadows moving around. However, upon closer inspection, there was nothing but layers and layers of trees.
A group of servants followed behind him and the timid ones were already trembling all over.
They were curled up like shrimps.
“Soon, soon. It’s right ahead. We’ll catch up to them soon.”
Liu Xingchang replied calmly.
He had the token, so this strange place could not affect him.
Liu Xingchang had lured the Yang family here not for anything else but to kill all of them.
This way, he could gather all the blood sacrifices needed to open the land of inheritance.
He had been watching from the side the night the Liu family was exterminated.
From Liu Fuxue escaping into the forest, meeting Qi Chen, and then killing their way out of the strange place.
He had witnessed everything with his own eyes.
However, Liu Xingchang did not make a move.
There was no need for him to kill an egg demon.
If he killed Liu Fuxue, he would be marked with the tracking mark of the Liu family.
Thus, he could only rely on bandits.
However, these bandits were simply too weak. They could not even defeat an egg demon and were even killed by the other party who took advantage of the environment.
Those bandits were all stopped and killed by Liu Xingchang when they were escaping.
As for the fact that the Liu Clan already knew that he was the mastermind behind the destruction of the Liu family, it was not important to Liu Xingchang.
As long as he could gather the sacrificial offerings for the blood sacrifice, activate the legacy, and obtain the secret treasure left behind by the Black Dragon King when he died.
He could go anywhere he wanted!
At that time, the Liu family would be nothing. He could destroy them with a flip of his hand!
However, what Liu Xingchang did not expect was that the egg demon that he sent his men to “hunt” was secretly following behind them.
Qi Chen hid on a tree three hundred meters away from the group and followed them unhurriedly.
“Liu Fuxue? Are these people with those killers?”
Ever since he became a coiling cloud egg, Qi Chen’s hearing had become much better than before.
He could hear their conversation from hundreds of meters away.
Qi Chen followed behind them and entered the unknown area once again. In his mind, the system’s alarm began to ring continuously.
Under Liu Xingchang’s lead, the Yang family entered the center of the strange place.
The more he followed behind these people, the more frightened Qi Chen felt.
The black-robed man leading the way was taking the same path Qi Chen had taken with Liu Fuxue.
“How could there be such a coincidence?”
Qi Chen muttered softly to himself.
“Sir.” Yang Wen forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and braced himself to ask, “What exactly is this place? Did that Liu Fuxue really run here?”
Liu Xingchang did not reply and continued moving forward.
A servant with weak strength finally couldn’t hold on any longer and stopped. His entire body drenched in cold sweat.
Fear filled his eyes as he gazed into the depths of the strange land.
It was as if there was a great terror in front of him.
“No, no! I don’t want to go in!”
The servant moved his trembling legs to turn around and run.
Before he could take more than two steps, he was struck dead by Liu Xingchang’s palm strike.
“What was that for!?”
Yang Wen drew the long saber from his waist and pointed it at Liu Xingchang.
“I said, come in with me.”
Liu Xingchang sneered. “Don’t you want to take revenge for your son? Liu Fuxue is inside. If we walk a little further, we’ll be able to see her.”
“You killed a servant of my Yang family in front of me. Do you think my Yang family is easy to mess with?”
Yang Wen’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
“Hahahaha!”
Liu Xingchang laughed loudly. “The Yang family? In my eyes, you guys are nothing! However… Since you guys are unwilling to go in, I’ll give you a choice. Do you want to turn around and run, or stay here?”
“How dare you!”
Yang Wen was furious. The long saber in his hand swung out as he slashed towards Liu Xingchang.
Liu Xingchang extended two fingers and caught the blade firmly.
The crowd was astounded seeing this.
This person was so strong!
All the servants present asked themselves if they could withstand Yang Wen’s attack.
However, the black-robed man only used two fingers to block the Family Head’s saber.
Yang Wen’s expression changed drastically when he saw the black-robed man block the saber with ease.
Only now did Yang Wen understand that the black-robed man had never intended to take him to chase after Liu Fuxue. Instead, he had used his son’s death to trick him into this strange place.
With this in mind, Yang Wen’s face turned ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, “Your target is me. Let them go!”
“Release the Family Head! If you have any problems, come at me!”
“That’s right! Let the Family Head go now!”
A few loyal servants shouted.
“Oh? What a deep master-servant relationship.”
“I gave you a choice. To turn and run or to stay where you are. Too bad you didn’t choose.”
“Since none of you want to leave, then stay.”
Liu Xingchang smiled coldly.
“Me! I’ll leave!”
A weak servant’s tears flowed down his face. “I have an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old child. I can’t die… I can’t die!”
With that, he turned around and fled.
However, after taking a few steps, Liu Xingchang raised his palm and struck the back of the servant.
The servant was struck by the palm and his body froze. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. In a short while, his breath was extinguished.
“Those who turn around and run will be killed on the spot.”
Liu Xingchang said with a faint smirk.
“You—!”
Yang Wen’s eyes were filled with rage, but he was helpless. The person in front of him was far from someone they could fight against.
After a moment, Yang Weng remained calm. His gaze was deep as he stared at Liu Xingchang.
“Looks like my Yang family won’t be able to escape death today. But before I die, do you dare tell me your name so that I can seek revenge in my next life!”
“Interesting.” Liu Xingchang grinned. “Remember carefully, when you go down later, remember to tell them my name is Liu Xingchang!”
“Liu Xingchang!?”
When Qi Chen, who was eavesdropping from afar, heard this name, his breathing became hurried.
He did not expect to see this person so soon.
“Alright, Liu Xingchang!”
Yang Wen stared at Liu Xingchang.
“Let’s go.” Liu Xingchang smiled and said, “You can still live for a while if you follow me. If you don’t, you’ll die here.”
The few people who had initially planned to stay behind turned pale.
What is he trying to do?
Qi Chen was puzzled. He knew very little about the Black Dragon King’s inheritance.
As they went deeper into the strange place, those servants whose legs were so weak that they couldn’t walk, were all killed by Liu Xingchang’s palm.
There were less than twenty servants who could walk to the demarcation line.
“Hahahahahahaha!!!”
Liu Xingchang looked at the row of giant trees and laughed loudly.
