"Tell me, where and how did Yu'er die? Explain everything clearly. If not, I'll make sure all of you accompany him in death!" In the main hall of the Zheng residence, an old woman exuded an oppressive, chilling aura, glaring at the few kneeling guards. Her lips, resembling old tree bark, formed words one by one. Although the guards felt a deep chill, they trembled as they recounted what they knew. "The Second Young Master's body was found in a place outside the city called Yuanyang Village. Yesterday, we followed the Second Young Master out of the city. Before reaching a mountain village, he found an excuse to send us away, telling us to wait for him at the foot of the mountain. He went into the village alone with only Commander Yang. That village, called Yuanyang Village, is a place for indulgence and pleasure..." As the guard spoke, the old woman suddenly shouted, "Nonsense! Yu'er was always so well-behaved and sensible. How could he go to such a filthy place!" The guard was so frightened that he immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word, his body trembling even more violently. "Mother," the head of the Zheng family said softly. The old woman snorted coldly, "Continue!" "Yes, Ancestor." The guard's body trembled, and he chose his words even more carefully. "After the Second Young Master entered the village, it wasn't long before we heard chaotic noises from the mountain. Many people fled the village in panic. Sensing something was wrong, we rushed up to the village, only to find corpses everywhere, all of them martial experts. Even the Second Young Master and Commander Yang were not spared. Commander Yang's steel shield was shattered with a single palm strike, his body completely broken, and his brow pierced." At this point, the guard couldn't help but shiver. Commander Yang was a highly skilled martial artist in the Internal Organs Realm, known for his expert use of the sword and shield technique. Even an average martial artist in the Internal Organs Realm wouldn't easily defeat him. Yet, such a powerful Commander Yang met a tragic end with his shield broken, his death unimaginable. What kind of terrifying person could have done this? "In other words, as Yu'er's guards, you didn't even see his killer?" the old woman said coldly. The guards felt a deep chill, hurriedly replying, "Reporting to Ancestor, although we couldn't catch the killer, after finding the Second Young Master's body, we immediately captured a group of people trying to escape the village and interrogated them. From their mouths, we learned that the one who killed the Second Young Master was a man in black nightwear. This person was incredibly powerful, moving like a ghost. He killed everyone in Yuanyang Village. More importantly, from some guests, we learned that the man in black claimed that Yuanyang Village was actually a base of Seven Kill Tower. His massacre was to retaliate against Seven Kill Tower, so he didn't kill those guests!" "What did you say, Seven Kill Tower, are you sure you didn't hear wrong?!" The head of the Zheng family trembled, quickly asking. Even the old woman showed a serious expression, a gleam flashing in her eyes. "I swear, we didn't hear wrong. We interrogated over ten people, and they all said the same thing!" the guard said urgently. "Seven Kill Tower has established a base here?" The head of the Zheng family looked grave. This terrifying sect, which controlled most of the assassin world, had its power always concentrated in Zhongzhou. When did it become interested in a remote place like Cangzhou? What shocked him even more was that someone dared to provoke Seven Kill Tower so boldly, destroying this base. Who was this person, and what was their motive?

The old woman also had many thoughts swirling in her mind. But none of this could compare to her pain of losing a grandson. "You say this person's target was Seven Kill Tower, then why did he kill my Yu'er?" The old woman's eyes flashed with a terrifying light, staring intently at the guard. "Explain, are you lying?" "Injustice, Ancestor, every word I said is true. I dare not deceive Ancestor," the guard immediately cried out. "Then tell me, why did the man in black kill Yu'er? Wasn't Yu'er a guest?" "That's because, because..." The guard stammered, too afraid to speak. "Because of what? Speak, or I'll kill you with one strike!" the old woman said sternly. "I heard from a guest that when the Second Young Master and Commander Yang were killed, he was hiding in a corner of the building. He heard the man in black say that the reason for killing the Second Young Master was to seek justice for the brothel women whom the Second Young Master had abused and tormented to death..." "Rubbish!" Before the guard could finish, the old woman could no longer endure. Her steel dragon-head cane suddenly struck the guard's chest. The guard, unable to resist the blow, was sent flying. He spat a mouthful of blood in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground. His chest caved in, and it was clear he wouldn't survive. "Those lowly brothel women, how can they compare to my Yu'er? Even a thousand, ten thousand of them couldn't compare to a single hair of Yu'er's! The vile wretch dared to humiliate Yu'er, humiliate our Zheng family. No matter who you are, I will find you, torture you to death, and tear you to pieces!" After sending a guard flying, the old woman's anger showed no sign of abating. Her face was full of malice, each word dripping with venom. The terrifying aura she emitted pressed down on everyone in the hall, nearly suffocating them, even spilling outside, alarming those outside. Seeing the Ancestor's fury, the kneeling guards trembled even more, their legs weak, almost collapsing. But even so, the old woman had no intention of sparing them. "And you, tasked with protecting Yu'er, yet you left your posts. Not only do you deserve death, but your families will also accompany Yu'er in death!" The guards were shocked, about to beg for mercy, but the old woman's dragon-head cane struck out, hitting their vital points. In an instant, the kneeling guards trembled, their eyes vacant, collapsing dead. Their faces still bore expressions of terror in death. The smell of blood filled the hall, and everyone turned pale, drained of color. After a long time, the head of the Zheng family stepped forward to support the old woman. "Mother, the dead cannot be brought back. You must take care of your health." "Don't worry, I'm not dying yet," the old woman said coldly. "Prepare the best coffin for Yu'er's body, and as for these useless guards, death is too lenient for them. Bring their families; they will all accompany Yu'er in death!" "Mother!" The head of the Zheng family was shocked. "Living sacrifice is a great taboo. Both the royal capital and the Sacred Mountain have explicitly banned it!" "Hmph, who said anything about living sacrifice? As long as they're dead before being buried, it won't be considered a living sacrifice. Yu'er died so tragically, without a father since childhood. He may be lonely in the afterlife. Sending more people to serve him, isn't that right?" "But mother..." The head of the Zheng family wanted to say more. But seeing the old woman glaring at him, he felt a chill in his heart. He could only say, "I dare not disobey. I'll make the arrangements right away." Table of content
