"You rats of the Liu family, all of you, get out here for this old man."
A booming voice spread throughout the Liu family, making their hearts tremble with fear.
Many of those with weak cultivation were instantly knocked unconscious by the terrifying power.
Even many of the Liu family elders were shaken to the point of spitting blood, their faces pale.
The Liu family descended into utter chaos.
The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate had arrived.
And they had come so quickly, with such imposing might.
It was beyond everyone's expectations.
In an instant, the Liu family scattered, each person focused on their own escape.
However, the Liu family members discovered with horror that the surroundings of their estate seemed to be sealed by some kind of restriction.
Countless pillars of light sealed off the entire Liu family, leaving them no escape.
In the sky, nine golden dragons soared through the heavens, wreaking havoc above the Liu family.
This turn of events was completely beyond Liu Chongshan's imagination.
The Nine Dragon Bell!
That was a Pseudo Saint Artifact of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, used for guarding their estate.
It was only half a rank away from being a Saint Artifact.
How could the insignificant Liu family possibly warrant the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate deploying the Nine Dragon Bell to suppress them?
Legend had it that hundreds of years ago, a first-rate force with a Saint Realm expert had offended the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.
The then Divine Marquis of Zhenguo had deployed the Nine Dragon Bell.
That first-rate force, with nearly ten thousand people, including several Saint Realm experts and dozens of Divine Emperors and Divine Venerables, was utterly annihilated under the Nine Dragon Bell, leaving no trace.
The Nine Dragon Bell, as a treasure for the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate to guard their territory, was not easily used.
Because its deployment signified bloodshed and slaughter.
Back then.
If that small first-rate force hadn't been so arrogant and directly provoked the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.
The then Divine Marquis of Zhenguo would not have used the Nine Dragon Bell to make an example of them.
Liu Chongshan's face had turned deathly pale, his entire body trembling uncontrollably, his legs shaking of their own accord.
Gazing at the nine divine dragons coiled above, bathed in golden light.
The fear in his eyes was self-evident.
If he hadn't been the head of the Liu family, if he hadn't been in front of countless cultivators in public.
Liu Chongshan would have likely been so terrified that he would have wet himself and fled long ago.
It seemed the entire Liu family was doomed today.
The entire Liu family was in a state of panic.
Only one person showed no fear, but instead, was filled with righteous fury, stumbling out.
It was a middle-aged woman in her late forties or early fifties.
She forced herself to take a breath and yelled at the sky.
"You bastards from the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, you don't know the rules and dare to scare me!"
"I'll tell Qin Anlan later, and he'll drag all of you ungrateful wretches out to be fed to wolves."
The woman was dressed lavishly, adorned with gold and silver, and wore many magical artifacts.
This person was none other than Liu Ruyan's mother, Zhou Caimei.
Liu Ruyan's ability to act so deliberately, to be such a complete White Lotus, owed a great deal to Zhou Caimei.
All the methods Liu Ruyan used to tease Qin Anlan and keep him hooked were taught to her by Zhou Caimei.
In Zhou Caimei's opinion.
When dealing with a Simp like Qin Anlan, one couldn't be too nice.
Otherwise, they wouldn't know their place.
Liu Chongshan wouldn't be able to extract enough value from Qin Anlan.
By simply maintaining enough aloofness in front of Qin Anlan, she could easily control this Simp.
The original Qin Anlan had indeed been completely controlled by this mother-daughter pair, Zhou Caimei and Liu Ruyan, and had been groveling for three years.
Zhou Caimei looked up at Qin Anlan and said irritably, "Qin Anlan, you little bastard, how dare you be rude to me."
"I advise you to scram honestly and compensate me.
Otherwise, my Liu Ruyan will never acknowledge you again, nor will she say a single word to you."
Zhou Caimei knew very well how much her precious daughter, Liu Ruyan, meant to Qin Anlan.
She was confident that by simply mentioning Liu Ruyan, Qin Anlan would obediently compromise.
After all, she had used this tactic for three years, and it had always worked to firmly control Qin Anlan.
Unfortunately.
Qin Anlan was no longer the simp he used to be.
He shot Zhou Caimei a cold glance.
"Who do you think you are, daring to yell at me, this Young Lord?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Caimei was instantly furious, gritting her teeth.
"You damned brat, talking to me like that! I'll teach you a good lesson."
Saying this, Zhou Caimei pulled out a fiery red command flag and swung it towards Qin Anlan.
Qin Anlan sat on his imperial carriage like a mountain, gazing at her with icy eyes.
Before the command flag thrown by Zhou Caimei could reach Qin Anlan.
Tu Xiu let out a cold snort.
An invisible aura blasted the command flag into pieces.
Zhou Caimei's body was sent flying like a tattered sack, and she fell to the ground, groaning incessantly.
Qin Anlan glanced at Tu Xiu beside him and instructed, "This bitch, which hand did she use to point at this Young Lord just now?"
"Never mind, just chop off both her arms."
"Understood."
Tu Xiu nodded slightly, the cruelty and bloodlust in his eyes becoming difficult to conceal.
With a slight wave of his hand.
A cold glint flashed out.
Zhou Caimei's two arms were immediately severed from her body.
Blood gushed out from the wounds, spraying continuously.
"Ah..."
"Ah..."
Screams like a pig being slaughtered echoed one after another.
The intense pain caused Zhou Caimei to writhe uncontrollably on the ground.
"Ah!"
Another piercing cry rang out.
Unable to bear the humiliation, Zhou Caimei closed her eyes and fainted.
"Mom!"
Liu Ruyan, who was severely injured, sensed the commotion outside and scrambled out.
As soon as she reached the doorway, she was met with the shocking scene of her mother's arms being brutally severed and her mother lying unconscious.
After a cry of alarm, she staggered over.
Lifting her head, she let out a hysterical roar at Qin Anlan.
"Qin Anlan, you damn simp, how could you treat my mom like this?"
"I order you now to find any means necessary to heal my mom."
"And this dog servant, who dared to injure my mom, chop him into minced meat immediately and apologize to my mom."
"If anything happens to my mom, I will never forgive you in this lifetime."
Liu Ruyan's arrogant demeanor.
Anyone would have thought.
She had gained the upper hand in the current situation.
That's why she dared to order Qin Anlan around so recklessly.
Such an idiot who completely misjudged the situation.
Qin Anlan couldn't understand what the original owner had seen in her to grovel so much.
