Yang Xuan ignored He Yun, and even turned around to say, "Elder He Yun, you'd better listen carefully later."
He had accompanied He Liao on so many occasions and knew that He Yun cared most about He Ling. As long as he grasped this point, he could definitely get He Yun to agree.
"Wait a moment."
He Liao suddenly called a halt, then turned to He Yun and said, "He Yun, I know what you're thinking. Since things have come to this point, I can tell you directly."
"Neither you nor your granddaughter will survive; this is the Family Head's order."
"But you can choose how you die. You may not be afraid of death, but have you thought about He Ling?"
"You should know my methods. I control all the Criminal Law within the Lineage. I have countless ways to make He Ling wish he were dead. Do you choose to let him die completely, or endure countless pains?"
He Liao's lips curled up slightly as he continued, "Our He Family has quite a few Servants, not just Yang Xuan. I wonder if this little girl, He Ling, can handle it."
Upon hearing this, He Ling's eyes were filled with terror. With her mouth gagged, she could only make muffled sounds.
He Liao's words were quite obvious!
He Ling looked at He Yun with tears in her eyes. She hoped that He Yun would hand over the item, even if it meant death, but she did not want to be humiliated to death.
Just hearing about such things sends chills down your spine.
Looking at He Ling's pleading eyes, He Yun deflated like a punctured balloon and lay helplessly on the ground.
He felt immense self-reproach.
Xiaoshan, your father failed to keep his promise to protect He Ling.
He Yun felt utterly desolate. He knew that He Liao would not give up easily if he didn't get what he wanted today.
In other words, both grandfather and grandson were destined to die, only in different ways.
Thinking of this, He Yun sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, "Fine, as long as you don't humiliate He Ling, I'll give you the things."
He Liao's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a smile, "That's right."
He Yun suddenly said, "But I want you to Heavenly Dao Oath, that you will not offend He Ling and will give her a quick death. If anyone else offends her, you He Liao, must stop them with your life."
"If you can agree to this request, I'll give you the item immediately."
He Liao narrowed his eyes; he had always intended to get what he wanted and then go back on his word.
He Yun, that old bastard, has dragged this out for so many years; he can't let it go without giving him a good beating.
But after thinking about it carefully, I'm glad I got the item.
Moreover... torment doesn't necessarily have to involve offense.
"Okay, I promise."
He Liao immediately began to swear Heavenly Dao Oath. Thunderclouds flashed across the sky, and an invisible power of the Heavenly Dao enveloped He Liao's body, eventually condensing into a Triangle between his eyebrows.
However, it disappeared completely after only a few moments.
In the darkness, He Liao was already bound by the Heavenly Dao. If he violated the Heavenly Dao Oath, he would be directly struck down by Heavenly Thunder.
He Liao then said calmly, "Alright, give me the things, and I'll give you and your grandson a quick death."
He Yun took a deep breath, and just as he was about to speak, a gentle voice came from the doorway.
"Old He, why didn't you come to me for help with such a small matter?"
Su Chen and Ruoxi slowly approached. He stood with his hands behind his back, his handsome face exuding an extraordinary air.
Upon seeing Su Chen, He Yun immediately showed signs of anxiety.
"Young friend, please leave. This is my family matter and has nothing to do with you."
Su Chen certainly has some background, but the He Family is much stronger, with a powerful expert at the Early Integration Stage in charge. How could Su Chen compare to them?
The key point is that he heard Ruoxi call Su Chen "Young Master," and Su Chen often went fishing with him instead of focusing on cultivation and traveling around.
Clearly, within the clan, he was probably of average talent, low status, and completely subservient.
He Yun was, after all, Elder of the He Family, and he knew these younger members of the clan all too well.
Su Chen often came to fish with him, so it must not be far from Pingshui Town.
The strongest force around Pingshui Town is only at the Early Void Refinement Stage. He Liao alone is enough to give them a hard time, not to mention the He Family's Ancestor at the Integration Stage.
He Yun, fearing Su Chen might not know the power of the He Family, specifically added, "They are from the He Family of Xuanming City, King Tier force. You can't afford to offend them. Leave now."
Seeing He Yun's anxious eyes, Su Chen simply smiled and shook his head, without leaving.
Neither He Yun nor He Ling are bad people. Even if he had no connection with them, he still wanted to meddle in their affairs, let alone the fact that Su Chen knew them.
Su Chen smiled and said, "Old He, don't worry, it's just a small matter."
Upon hearing this, He Yun's face grew even more anxious. Just as he was about to speak, He Liao released a terrifying aura that enveloped the Courtyard.
He Yun's expression changed; under this oppressive aura, he felt as if his blood was about to stop flowing.
It's over!
He knew that He Liao would absolutely not let Su Chen go today.
Just as he was thinking this, He Liao sneered and said, "An Ant like you dares to interfere in the affairs of the He Family?"
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, his Spiritual Energy transforming into Ice Blade that shot towards Su Chen.
He Liao was already at the Early Void Refinement Stage realm. Although it was just a casual strike, no cultivator below the half-step Void Refinement stage could withstand it.
Su Chen did not make a move, but Ruoxi beside him had a cold look in her eyes. A Longsword appeared in her hand, and a cold aura emanated from it.
The next moment, Ruoxi raised her hand and swung her sword, unleashing a terrifying aura.
Although Ruoxi lacks combat experience, he is a genuine Void Refinement stage, and the cultivation Cultivation Method he practices are all Heaven Rank.
Therefore, the power of this attack was immense; the aftershocks alone overturned the entire Courtyard.
If Ruoxi hadn't taken some control, countless people in Pingshui Town would likely have died in the aftershocks.
What!
He Liao felt a chill run down his spine, his eyes filled with panic, and he hurriedly raised his hands to defend himself.
This attack was so powerful that it made him somewhat apprehensive.
He never expected that Ruoxi would have such strength.
"Bang!"
The sound of the impact rang out, like a heavy drumbeat, and everyone in Pingshui Town covered their ears, collapsing to the ground in pain.
Some people with slightly weaker constitutions even had blood gushing from their ears and noses.
He Liao was sent flying backward, covered in blood, while the others were swept away by the aftershocks and thrown far away.
Su Chen raised his hand and waved it to protect He Yun and He Ling.
He Yun and He Ling were not strong Cultivation Level; if they were hit by the aftershocks, they would be severely injured, if not killed.
Ruoxi seemed to realize she hadn't controlled her Strength Great Dao, and said in a panic, "I'm sorry, Young Master, Ruoxi was too angry just now, so..."
Su Chen waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more.
It's just a small matter; Su Chen isn't the type to fuss over such things.
At this moment, He Yun also came to his senses, and he looked at Ruoxi with shock in his eyes.
This is... the Void Refinement stage!
Oh My God!
If a Maid Void Refinement stage, how powerful must her master be?
He Yun never expected that Ruoxi, this seemingly harmless little girl, would possess such terrifying strength at the Void Refinement stage.
He and Su Chen had known each other for some time and had a general understanding of each other. He naturally knew that Ruoxi was not old and was definitely under 100 years old.
To reach such Cultivation Level at this age is nothing short of genius, even within Saint Tier power.
Su Chen said with a faint smile, "Old He, I'll take care of him for you. We'll go back to fishing later."
As he spoke, he slightly raised his hand, and four beams of light flashed in his palm.
The next moment, the light Void Breaking and disappeared from its original spot, shooting off into the distance.
In an instant.
The earth shook four times in succession, as if some Primordial Fierce Beast was lurking underground, sending chills down one's spine.
