Chapter 1593 - 460: Zhou Qing, the Son-in-law, Pays His Respects to His Father-in-law! (6k)

"How should we help?" Shen Lieyang asked urgently.

Shen Juefeng, with a gleam in his eye, slowly analyzed, "The Liu Family originally had fourteen Spirit Slash Realm cultivators, but now they have lost five."

"Among the remaining nine, four are guarding the mine at the Fifth Tail, three are cooperating with the Yan Family and the Celestial Phoenix Palace to search for my father and explore the Desolate Forbidden area to find Zhou Qing."

"In other words, the core combat strength of the Liu Family now only consists of the ancestor Liu Xuancang (Late-stage Ultimate Venerable Realm), Family Head Liu Hanchuan (Early-stage Ultimate Venerable Realm), and one Spirit Slash Realm cultivator."

Upon hearing his family’s Old Fourth’s analysis, Shen Lieyang nodded repeatedly.

Although the Shen Family also had a few Spirit Slash Realm cultivators who had defected to them, the other side did not dare to easily trust them and had sent them far away.

"So, do you think Zhou Qing will directly attack the Liu Family?" Shen Lieyang mused.

A cold glint flashed in Shen Juefeng’s eyes, "Certainly. While all parties are unprepared, he will definitely apply pressure continuously, using thunderous means to intimidate the heroes."

Thinking of this, Shen Juefeng slapped the table and stood up, "I reckon that boy will quickly make a comeback, we have to go support outside the Liu Family!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swayed, his face turning pale.

Shen Lieyang quickly steadied him, "With how you are now, how can you support anyone? Even a minor Nascent Soul cultivator could take your life."

Sweating profusely, Shen Juefeng sat down in annoyance, slapping the table, "Zhou Qing is only mid-stage in the Spirit Slash Realm, able to slay those at Great Perfection by relying on those two Inscription Divine Techniques."

He breathed heavily, his Adam’s apple moving, "But against the Supreme Realm, he stands no chance, let alone with two people guarding!"

Shen Lieyang thought for a moment and said, "If your prediction is correct, that boy is indeed reckless. Why don’t I stay outside the Liu Family to help a bit."

Shen Juefeng raised his hand to stop him, "Your main body is Spirit Slash Realm Perfection, but now your Second Nascent Soul Realm is only at the Late Stage, going there would be sending yourself to death."

He suddenly groaned, coughing up a mouthful of dark blood, while Shen Lieyang patted him gently on the back repeatedly.

"How about this, if you see him outside the Liu Family, be sure to bring him back. Even if the Liu Family needs purging, it should be me, his father-in-law, recovering to personally wield the knife." Shen Juefeng added.

Shen Lieyang nodded, saying, "Alright, you focus on recovering, I’ll go lie in wait for him."

After saying this, he put on his mask again and headed straight for the Liu Family.

After Shen Lieyang left, Shen Juefeng hunched over again, coughing violently, and after the coughing subsided, his Adam’s apple moved with difficulty as he swallowed something.

Then, with blood-stained lips, he pulled a strange smile, "Speaking of, that boy still owes me a kowtow."

...

"Exhilarating! Truly exhilarating!" Shen Yunzhou listened to the discussions outside, watching the embarrassing state of the Liu Family cooped up, and couldn’t contain his excitement.

He frequently glanced at Zhou Qing’s calm demeanor, eyes full of admiration.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the sparkle in Lu Yaoyao’s eyes when she looked at Zhou Qing before.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with such a person, one could always feel an indescribable charm.

"Brother-in-law, the Liu Family is now like a bird startled by the twang of a bow, heavily guarded. Why don’t we divert to the Yan Family at the Third Tail and do the same?"

Suppressing his excitement, Shen Yunzhou whispered, "Wait for the Liu Family ancestor to die, and once they relax their guard, we can make a comeback, wouldn’t that be safer?"

Zhou Qing gently shook his head, "I said, this time, I want the Liu Family ancestor to see with his own eyes how wrong his previous decisions were."

Shen Yunzhou said urgently, "But those are two Supreme Realms! Even if the Shen Family ancestor is severely injured by backlash and aged, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse."

"Let alone Liu Hanchuan, who has passed the Supreme Tribulation! We are simply like eggs hitting a rock!"

"It’s precisely because even you think this," Zhou Qing’s lips curved slightly, "that the Liu Family will judge the same way—this is our opportunity."

Shen Yunzhou quickly said, "I know, but they think it’s my grandfather seeking revenge, not us!"

Zhou Qing gave a meaningful smile, "Don’t worry, I have a plan."

After a pause, he continued, "By the way, I’ll go alone this time."

"You alone?" Shen Yunzhou was instantly anxious upon hearing this, grabbing Zhou Qing’s arm, "How can that be! No, I must go with you!"

Zhou Qing gently patted Shen Yunzhou’s hand, but only smiled without speaking.

Back in the day, Second Uncle could seriously injure a Celestial Venerable with an Extreme Dao Weapon. Now, the power of the [Eternal Sin Fire Mirror] in his hand is even greater, and exterminating one or two Supreme Realms shouldn’t be difficult.

However, the fewer people who know about the existence of the Extreme Dao Weapon, the better. This is also for Shen Yunzhou’s safety, to prevent him from being entangled in it.

Just as Shen Yunzhou was about to argue, Zhou Qing suddenly raised his hand.

Before he could react, a bright yellow talisman was "slap" placed on his forehead, instantly sealing all his meridians.

Shen Yunzhou was frozen in place, only his eyes could move, and his pupils almost seemed to spit fire.

Zhou Qing placed one hand behind his back and sighed lightly, "I know you’re unwilling. But this trip is extremely dangerous. For your sister’s sake, I can’t let you take the risk."

His voice suddenly grew solemn, "Rest assured, I will return safely, after all, the blood debts of the Yan Family and the Celestial Phoenix Palace are still waiting for us to personally settle them."

Seeing Shen Yunzhou’s eyes reddening with urgency, Zhou Qing seemed to momentarily see Han Yi from those years—just like that, stubbornly standing in front of him.

Now with the roles reversed, he finally understood that what is called stubbornness is just the desire to protect the most important person.

"Wait for me in peace."

Zhou Qing placed several more talismans on Shen Yunzhou, ensuring foolproof safety before turning around.

Before setting off, he gave him a reassuring smile, then checked the room’s restrictions again, closed the door tightly, and left.
