The Zhou Family members were stunned when they heard Qin Anlan's words.
Then, expressions of utter terror appeared on every face.
"Young Lord of the Divine Marquis, spare us! We did nothing, and we never offended you. Please spare our lives!"
"Young Lord of the Divine Marquis, be magnanimous. Please do not lower yourself to the level of insignificant wretches like us."
"Young Lord, I'm kowtowing to you. Please let me go."
Hearing their utterly spineless pleas, Qin Anlan snorted coldly.
"Are you sure you did nothing? Shall this Young Lord help you remember properly?"
"Over these past years, how many resources have you taken from this Young Lord through the Liu Family?"
"Not only that, you used this Young Lord's name to commit every kind of evil outside, even slandering my reputation. You truly deserve to die a thousand deaths."
Ever since Liu Ruyan had become Qin Anlan's fiancée, Zhou Caimei's maternal relatives had come sniffing around and repeatedly demanded resources from Qin Anlan.
They even called it building a good relationship with Liu Ruyan's maternal family.
It would have been one thing if the Zhou Family had merely eaten and taken whatever they pleased.
Qin Anlan did not lack those resources in the slightest.
He had simply considered it charity for beggars.
Yet while using the resources Qin Anlan had given them, they had still brazenly mocked him outside.
They said Qin Anlan had no bottom line, a thoroughgoing simp.
Eating from the bowl while smashing the pot.
Typical ungrateful white-eyed wolves that could never be fed full.
Looking at the Zhou Family members drowning in despair, Qin Anlan waved his hand and said calmly, "Do it. Leave none alive."
The many experts of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate struck again.
Spell after spell shot forth without pause.
The Zhou Family members instantly fell into pools of blood.
Blood flowed like rivers, corpses littered the ground.
The awakened Zhou Caimei watched helplessly as her family members fell one after another.
All she could do was lie on the ground and howl continuously, letting out bursts of powerless roars.
She wanted to stop them.
But she discovered that her entire body was pinned down by something, leaving her unable to move at all.
Overcome by fury, Zhou Caimei spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
Liu Ruyan had long since gone expressionless, standing there dazedly with vacant eyes.
Not long after.
The slaughter ended.
More than a thousand members of the Zhou Family and Liu Family had died unnatural deaths.
Among them, only Liu Ruyan and Zhou Caimei remained breathing.
Only then did Qin Anlan step down from the treasure carriage and walk toward Liu Ruyan step by step.
He grabbed her by the hair and threw her before Zhou Caimei.
Liu Ruyan remained as dull as a wooden chicken, her eyes lifeless, like a walking corpse.
Qin Anlan did not care what Liu Ruyan thought. He merely smiled faintly. "It is time to send your mother on her way."
Liu Ruyan shuddered, and her mind finally returned to clarity.
She opened her mouth and let out a hoarse voice.
"No, I'm begging you, let my mother go."
"She is innocent. Please let her go."
"Qin Anlan, I beg you."
"Only thinking of begging now? Isn't that a little too late?"
Qin Anlan could not help shaking his head.
The next moment.
Under Liu Ruyan's gaze, he gently raised his foot and stomped down.
A dull sound rang out.
Zhou Caimei's head was crushed into a deep pit, brain matter splattering in every direction.
She died on the spot.
"Ahhh..."
"Ah..."
Liu Ruyan let out a frenzied scream.
She watched with her own eyes as her relatives were killed one by one.
She watched her mother's head get stomped apart.
Liu Ruyan's fragile heart finally could no longer endure such a cruel blow.
After the scream, she fainted outright.
As far as the eye could see, the entire Liu Family estate had already become an Asura hell.
Blood flowed into rivers, corpses carpeted the ground.
Hundreds upon thousands of bodies lay strewn everywhere in crooked disarray.
The surrounding spectators had already gone pale with fright, trembling like sieves at the sight.
Everyone sighed with emotion.
When the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate acted, they were truly ruthless—and it was deeply satisfying.
"The Liu Family and Zhou Family were wiped out just like that."
"They brought this upon themselves. They dared to annul the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis's engagement and slap the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate in the face. They should have expected this day."
Regarding the destruction of the Liu Family and Zhou Family.
Not only did no one feel the slightest sympathy.
All they felt was amusement and schadenfreude.
What kind of force was the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate?
It was a colossal power capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan.
To be favored by the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate had been the Liu Family's honor.
Not only had the Liu Family failed to cherish that honor, they had personally destroyed it.
They had to bear everything before them now.
Qin Gengxin waved his hand.
The Nine Dragon Bell emitted a brilliant radiance.
It gathered all the surrounding corpses into itself.
Turning them into nourishment for the nine divine dragons raised within the Nine Dragon Bell.
Qin Anlan, meanwhile, took Liu Ruyan and swaggered back to the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.
Leaving behind only the Liu Family's utterly devastated grounds.
In just one night.
News of the Liu Family's destruction had spread throughout the entire Heavenly Flame Empire.
"The Liu Family was actually wiped out. Even the Zhou Family, which was connected to them, was slaughtered to the last."
"A mere Liu Family was nothing at all before the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate."
"The Liu Ruyan simply has rocks in her head. If not for the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis's favor, the Liu Family would merely have been a lowly, insignificant little family. Who did she think she was?"
"I heard the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis had been a simp for three years, becoming the laughingstock of the entire Heavenly Flame Empire and even disgracing the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate. Why did he suddenly rise overnight and come to his senses?"
"What do you know? I heard the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis did this to temper his state of mind and improve his realm."
"Didn't you see the phenomenon that appeared at the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate last time? It represented the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis making a breakthrough."
"That Liu Ruyan had no value left, yet she still dared to tear off all pretenses with the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis. Wasn't that the same as handing the Young Lord an excuse to destroy the Liu Family?"
The news of the Liu Family's destruction had already drawn the attention of countless forces.
A mere Liu Family naturally amounted to nothing.
But it had been connected to the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.
Many people had long since guessed Qin Anlan's true intentions.
He had merely used the label of simp to package and conceal himself.
This caused everyone to feel both awe and lingering fear toward the temperament and forbearance of Qin Anlan, the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo.
At the same time.
Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.
Qin Anlan's residence.
The system notification sounded as well.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for exterminating the Liu Family and Zhou Family. The host has obtained 300,000 Villain Points." "Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Golden Finger, Son of Heaven's Qi Observation Technique." "Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the System Mall."
At the same time, a Status Panel visible only to Qin Anlan appeared before him.
Name: Qin Anlan Identity: Young Lord of the Divine Marquis Realm: Mid-stage Emperor Sealing Physique: Void Saint Body Cultivation Technique: Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture (Fourth Layer), World Ending Demonic Codex (Third Layer) Items: Netherlight Armor (Pseudo Saint Artifact), Heavenly Punishment Sword (Heaven Rank), Purple Luo Heavenly Robe (Heaven Rank), Returning Origin Blood Pill Charm Value: 97 (Peak: 100) Villain Points: Destiny Points: 1500 (An ordinary person normally has 100) Additional Golden Fingers: Four Beasts' Blessing (Cooling Down), Son of Heaven's Qi Observation Technique
Looking at his attributes, Qin Anlan nodded in satisfaction.
He had dealt with the family power behind the female lead Liu Ruyan and turned Liu Ruyan into a cripple.
At last, he had more or less removed the simp label from himself.
Now that his hands were free, he could go find that Child of Destiny and have a proper little game with him.
Of course.
What satisfied Qin Anlan most was still the Golden Finger he had just obtained.
The Son of Heaven's Qi Observation Technique.
