"With these ten packets of Beisu San Gong Xiang, there shouldn't be any problem!"

Qin Wang took ten packets of Beisu San Gong Xiang from a bundle beside him. He had prepared these for the Chen Family long ago.

Now.

Chen Kun, the head of the Chen Family, had left the family estate to hunt down Su Dingfeng. This was the perfect opportunity!

Time passed.

Eleven at night.

The entire Chen Family was shrouded in darkness. Only the mourning hall and Old Madam Chen's quarters showed faint lights.

Qin Wang rose to his full height from a hidden corner, holding a fire starter in one hand and Beisu San Gong Xiang in the other. Like a civet cat, he slipped along the foot of the walls and infiltrated the Chen Family Mansion.

Chen Family.

Mourning hall.

Four coffins stood in a row inside. Before each coffin was a large funeral wreath, with the character "Mourn" written in the center.

Seven or eight young men, dressed in hemp mourning clothes and wearing filial headbands, sat in the hall. An old man sat to one side with his eyes closed, regulating his breath. The entire mourning hall was steeped in a gloomy, sinister air.

"Father, once I find the one who poisoned you, I'll grind him to pieces! I'll torture his family to death and feed them to dogs! I'll avenge you!"

A slightly plump man stared with venomous eyes, his eye sockets bloodshot as he ground his teeth.

Chen Zhong was Chen Bailin's son, one of the three Second-Rate Masters currently holding down the Chen Family. Last night, his father had gone with the family head to the Su Family, only to fall victim to Yellow Sparrow's poisonous ambush. His father and four other Second-Rate Masters had all had their throats slit.

Thinking of his father's murder, an enmity that could not exist beneath the same sky, Chen Zhong immediately rose and headed outside.

"Seventh, where are you going?"

At that moment, the gray-haired old man at the side of the mourning hall abruptly stopped Chen Zhong.

"My father was murdered. I can't just sit here waiting! I'm going to investigate that Yellow Sparrow myself and avenge my father!"

Chen Zhong gripped the longsword at his waist, his expression resolute.

"Seventh, our Chen Family has now lost four Second-Rate Masters. Only the three of us remain. The family head is absent, so we must guard the family estate. If you leave and a powerful enemy comes, your Uncle Wen and I won't be able to stop them. Then we'll be finished!"

"The family head has already gone to capture and kill Su Dingfeng. He should be back before long! Uncle understands how you feel, but you must put the greater good first!"

Chen Baishu looked at his nephew Chen Zhong and urged him in a deep voice.

Just then.

Five zhang beyond the mourning hall, a black figure like a ghost lit a fire starter in an empty corner, ignited a cloth packet in his hand, and threw it into the mourning hall.

"Who goes there?!"

Seeing a bowl-sized cloth packet spitting sparks land in the mourning hall, Chen Baishu and Chen Zhong both drew their swords and warily scanned their surroundings.

The other young men keeping vigil also drew their swords, their faces alert.

"This is bad—the cloth packet is poisonous!"

Remembering how four Chen Family experts had died from poisoning last night, Chen Baishu's expression changed drastically. He shouted, "Get out, quickly! Enemy attack! Someone, come!"

Chen Baishu immediately sprang toward the doorway. Yet the instant he leaped into the air, his inner force stagnated, and he crashed face-first onto the ground in a dog-eating mudfall.

At this moment.

Chen Zhong and the other filial descendants also crumpled to the ground, their steel swords rolling away as terror filled their faces.

"Big Brother, where is the enemy attack?"

At that moment, a lean old man raced over from a hundred zhang away with a sword in hand. When he saw his eldest brother Chen Baishu lying motionless at the entrance of the mourning hall—

He immediately stopped, his eyes full of vigilance.

Chen Baiwen had originally been in the mourning hall as well. He had gone to the latrine because he needed to relieve himself. He had barely started when he heard his eldest brother's cry and rushed over.

Whoosh~~~

Suddenly, a gray object spitting sparks flew toward Chen Baiwen!

Hiss!

Chen Baiwen flashed aside, dodging the gray object. It landed three zhang behind him. As he dodged, another gray thing sparkling with fire landed with a smack! not far from him.

Sparks scattered in all directions.

Alarm rose in Chen Baiwen's heart. In the blink of an eye, he retreated another three zhang and shouted, "Who is playing ghosts and tricks? Get out here!"

The moment Chen Baiwen finished speaking, he felt his inner force stagnate and his body sway. His face changed wildly. He sat down and circulated the Purple Sun Cultivation, beginning to force out the poison.

The next moment, he saw in horror an old man with a sallow face emerge from the shadows.

The sallow-faced old man picked up his nephew Chen Zhong's sword. With a sweep of the blade, his nephew Chen Zhong, a Second-Rate Master, was separated head from body!

Immediately after.

His eldest brother Chen Baishu also had his head cut off by the sallow-faced old man. In less than ten breaths, all the other filial descendants had been killed.

"Y-Yellow Sparrow?!"

Seeing his elder brother and nephew slaughtered without any ability to resist, Chen Baiwen's eyes filled with terror. He recalled what the family head had said about encountering Yellow Sparrow.

At this moment.

His mind was in turmoil, leaving him unable to focus on forcing out the poison. His inner force became sluggish, his entire body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Die!"

Qin Wang stepped forward and beheaded Chen Baiwen.

At this moment.

Alerted by the commotion in the mourning hall, the other Chen Family members awoke from their sleep and ran toward it.

Qin Wang set the mourning hall ablaze, threw five packets of Beisu San Gong Xiang and the corpses into the fire, then headed for the Chen Family's rear courtyard.

The fire in the mourning hall gradually grew!

Qin Wang knew.

The poisonous range of these five packets of Beisu San Gong Xiang would definitely be vast. Once the Chen Family members gathered around, they would be like moths rushing into flame, all collapsing from the poison.

Once he took his sister Qin Xuemei somewhere safe, he could return and clean out the Chen Family.

Chen Family rear courtyard.

Five zhang from Old Madam Chen's courtyard stood a quiet square courtyard, with rooms on all four sides and a large open courtyard in the middle. Its walls stood over a zhang high, and a heavy lock hung from the iron gate!

"This is the place!"

With one direct kick from Qin Wang, the courtyard's iron gate flew open and the wall collapsed.

"The intelligence says the child maidens were housed two to a room. Sister and a girl named Xiao Zi are in a room on the left."

Qin Wang's eyes flashed. He immediately strode toward the room on the left, smashed the wooden door down with one punch, sending splinters flying, and strode inside.

"Y-you, who are you?"

"Who is it?"

The room was not small. A wooden bed stood against each side wall, and there was also a wardrobe. The two girls on the beds awoke at the sound and sat upright, staring in terror at the sallow-faced old man who had barged in.

Qin Wang saw that the girl on the bed to the left was indeed his sister, Qin Xuemei.

However.

He did not immediately step forward to acknowledge her. Instead, he said in a hoarse voice, "You're all skinny as sticks, nothing worth a taste! Everyone in the Chen Family has already been killed. Before this old man changes his mind, get lost!"

Qin Wang understood clearly.

Although he had wiped out the Chen Family, Chen Kun, a First-Rate Realm expert, was still alive. Qin Wang was currently only a Second-Rate Master and could not kill Chen Kun.

Not to mention Chen Yi, who had joined an immortal sect!

If he revealed his identity and rescued his sister,

then once Chen Kun returned, he would be able to trace him directly through the clue of Qin Xuemei being rescued!

Before outsiders, he decided to pretend that he did not know his sister Qin Xuemei, then secretly take her away somewhere secluded. That way, Chen Kun would find it difficult to trace the matter back to him!

The Chen Family had many maids and servants.

When the time came, the Chen Family would have been robbed by a mysterious man, while the maids, servants, and child maidens had all fled. How could Chen Kun investigate that?

"Th-thank you, Hero!"

"Thank you!!"

Inside the room, hope immediately appeared in the eyes of Qin Xuemei and Xiao Zi. If the Chen Family was truly finished, they would no longer have to serve as child maidens.

The old man before them was probably not lying.

They had already heard the cries of alarm, weeping, and miserable screams outside. It seemed a fire had broken out.

As child maidens, the two had nothing to pack. They immediately thanked Qin Wang profusely.

Qin Wang ignored them, turned and released the other two child maidens, including Xiao Lan, and said, "Why are you all so skinny again? Nothing worth a taste. Get lost!"

He then used his Lightness Skill to fly over the heads of the four girls and leave.

Right after that, at the unavoidable path a hundred zhang ahead of the four girls, he punched down a wall more than a zhang high, then quietly circled back.

He followed behind the four girls.
