Chapter 1588 - 458: Brother-in-law, You’re So Powerful! (6k)_4

"The Liu Family that he spent his whole life protecting, how could it... in front of his eyes..."

"—be reduced to ashes!"

Shen Yunzhou’s body trembled violently, his pupils suddenly constricting.

He looked at Zhou Qing, a complex expression appearing on his face.

Zhou Qing’s voice was icy: "Because his life is nearing its end, he can ally with the Yan Family and Celestial Phoenix Palace to annihilate your Shen Family. Then we, these lone wolves, should let him taste the pain of bloodline severance!"

"But—" Shen Yunzhou’s throat tightened.

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!" Zhou Qing cut him off.

The painstakingly repaired Extreme Dao Weapon, if not used to let that severely injured old ghost taste its power, how could he be satisfied?

Seeing that Zhou Qing was determined, Shen Yunzhou ultimately did not try to dissuade him.

"What do you plan to do next?" Shen Yunzhou asked.

Zhou Qing’s lips curled into a bloodthirsty arc: "Naturally, it’s to turn the Shen Family—upside down."

...

The bright moon hung in the sky, its silver glow pouring down like water, making the entire Liu Family appear dreamlike.

The majestic sect buildings were built along the mountain, the nine-tiered gilded palace reflected a faint gold light in the moonlit night, with the glazed tiles exuding a starlike glow.

At the center of the Liu Family stood a towering ancient willow tree that reached the sky.

Its trunk was over ten zhang thick, appearing as jade-like bluish-white, with patterns on the bark naturally forming mysterious runes.

Thousands of drooping willow branches shimmered with silver light, swaying gently in the night breeze, with each willow leaf emitting a faint spiritual light, appearing like an inverted galaxy from afar.

Strangely, the roots of this ancient willow were exposed on the surface like a coiling dragon, forming natural steps and seats.

Currently, three Spirit Severing Realm members of the Liu Family sat cross-legged at the tree roots, practicing Breathing Cultivation.

The Spiritual Power surrounding them mixed with the moonlight emitted by the willow, creating a dense spiritual mist under the tree.

At the top of the canopy, a light wheel formed by pure moonlight slowly rotated, enveloping an area of a hundred zhang in hazy, clear radiance.

Yet, these three powerful individuals did not notice—

In the shadows less than a hundred zhang away, two pairs of cold eyes quietly observed everything.

After a few breaths, Shen Yunzhou withdrew his gaze, turning to look at Zhou Qing beside him, his eyes full of shock and admiration.

He still couldn’t believe that just now, the proud Four-Color Clan Protection Array of the Shen Family, under his brother-in-law’s hand, was like child’s play.

He saw with his own eyes how his brother-in-law casually fiddled with the Array Patterns, and the Four-Color Restriction quietly broke open a gap.

And throughout the process, no alarms were triggered, and the guarding cultivators were completely unaware.

"Is this... the true prowess in Array Dao?" Shen Yunzhou marveled to himself.

Even his sister, hailed as a once-in-a-millennium genius in Array Dao, only managed to condense seventeen thousand Spirit Seals in her lifetime.

"Your mother was also from the Liu Family back in the day?" Zhou Qing suddenly sent a voice transmission, interrupting Shen Yunzhou’s thoughts.

Shen Yunzhou’s expression dimmed, and he sent back a voice transmission: "Yes, she and my third aunt were arranged to marry into the Shen Family by the Liu Family."

"But later, my mother truly fell in love with my father. She declined the various tasks secretly assigned by the Liu Family one by one."

Saying this, his voice carried a hint of choking: "Because of this, the Liu Family was always... dissatisfied with my mother."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly, feeling more assured, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes: "Stay here for now, I’ll handle what comes next."

Before he finished speaking, he stepped out, boldly exposing himself under the moonlight.

Shen Yunzhou’s heart tightened, but he dared not speak further, having to fully activate the Concealing Technique, completely retracting his breath.
