The Price of Freedom

Tang Yu had already sensed Yao Changfeng's move the moment he made it.

Even his turning his head was a feint.

Playing dirty tricks on himself? This old guy should live another hundred years, I hope.

"You..."

After discovering that his attack was forcibly blocked by an invisible layer of true energy.

Yao Changfeng was shocked. Such a terrifying defensive technique?

But before he could finish speaking, he discovered that Tang Yu, who was standing in front of him, had vanished.

At the same time, he felt an explosive pain in his anus.

It felt as if someone had inserted a detonator into it, ignited it, and caused it to explode.

How could Yao Changfeng, who was nearly seventy years old, endure such pain?

Just as he was about to open his mouth and cry out in pain, his anus felt as if it had exploded twice more.

He jumped three meters into the air, then fell to the ground, his body trembling and his lips shaking. He couldn't even stand up.

Tang Yu then took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped her fingers.

Although the fingers were enveloped in true energy, they weren't soiled by the old man's chronic dermatitis.

Since joining the Nine Heavens Alliance, he has been trying to conceal his identity.

I no longer dare to use ancient martial arts techniques casually.

I had a long-awaited revisit of the Rigid Finger and Blade Hail Combat Intent.

Tang Yu felt it was quite good, and remarked with emotion.

"I'm laying my cards on the table: I'm invincible in my realm."

"You definitely have a problem..."

Yao Changfeng's old face was contorted with pain, and he glared at Tang Yu with venomous eyes, growling.

He was also one of Ye Feilong's deepest pawns planted within the Nine Heavens Alliance.

Yesterday, the Third Elder found him and told him that Ye Qiu had become suspicious of Ling Jun.

Just in case, let him launch a sneak attack and kill Ling Jun.

Only after his attack today did he realize that this person was not someone who had just entered the Celestial Realm.

Keep in mind that he had been stuck at the first level of the Celestial Realm for almost twenty years.

As a result, when he fought this kid who had just broken through to the next realm, he was almost instantly killed.

"Ye Qiu sent you? Where is he?"

As Tang Yu spoke, his foot was already on Yao Changfeng's penis; his urge to castrate him had returned.

I just took down that old guy.

He activated the Beast Taming Art immediately.

They then discovered that Ye Qiu, who had been cultivating in his room, had disappeared.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a violent explosion came from afar.

Dozens of explosions rang out in succession, followed by towering flames.

"It's too late, you're finished."

Upon hearing the explosion, Yao Changfeng burst into laughter, a poisoned needle clutched in his hand, intending to drag Tang Yu down with him.

Tang Yu placed her foot on his old man's penis but stepped down first.

An indescribable pain followed.

Yao Changfeng couldn't help but roar again, and the poisoned needle in his hand rolled to the ground, completely losing his fighting ability.

"You don't need it anyway, so what's with all the yelling?"

Tang Yu sneered, pressed the old man's pressure points, and then threw him directly into a nearby lake.

Let this old guy experience what it's like to drown.

After dealing with Yao Changfeng, Tang Yu originally wanted to rush back to find Qiu Xiaozhu.

The only thought was that Ye Qiu had disappeared.

The explosions and fires in the distance were clearly intended to involve the members of the Nine Heavens Alliance.

In that case, Ye Qiu must have already taken advantage of the chaos to make his move.

Having sorted out his thoughts, Tang Yu headed straight for the tomb.

He had assumed Ye Qiu would act secretly, but he hadn't expected him to create such a commotion.

Moreover, there are definitely quite a few people secretly assisting him.

In fact, Tang Yu was right.

At this moment, the Qiu Family was in complete chaos.

The Nine Heavens Alliance is surrounded by mountains, and its buildings are mainly made of wood.

If the sudden explosion and fire are not brought under control, the consequences will be extremely serious.

The Grand Elder on the platform was even more ashen-faced; he could tell even with his toes that someone was secretly plotting against him.

But it's precisely in situations like these that you must not panic.

With a grim face, he immediately roared, "All disciples, go and put out the fire! Elders, take charge! We absolutely cannot let the fire continue to spread!"

"I'm going to the ancestral graves."

Qiu Xiaozhu left after saying a few words, then turned and ran away, her face becoming extremely serious, and she even had a bad feeling.

"Please, please don't let it be Ye Qiu."

She prayed silently in her heart; he was the only bloodline her sister left in the world.

But if this matter is truly related to him... wouldn't I be forced to personally kill my sister's only bloodline?

After Qiu Xiaozhu left, the Grand Elder frowned.

"Second brother, let's all five of us go and guard the ancestral graves. I want to see who's so foolish as to dare to mess with them."

It was because of the bloody battle with the Ye Family back then.

Of the nine elders, five remain: the First Elder, the Second Elder, the Third Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the Eighth Elder.

All five were at the second level of the Celestial Realm, making them among the top combat forces of the Nine Heavens Alliance.

Upon hearing the First Elder's order, the Third Elder sneered, "It must be a remnant of the Ye Family. If Ye Feilong doesn't die..."

He suddenly slapped the Fifth Elder with his palm halfway through his sentence.

Caught completely off guard, the Fifth Elder was struck by the palm and flew several meters away, landing on the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Several poisoned needles were still stuck in his chest, and the wounds had begun to turn black, indicating that the poison was extremely potent.

At the same time, the Eighth Elder on the other side suddenly launched a sneak attack on the Second Elder.

Although the Second Elder managed to avoid a fatal blow, he was still seriously injured.

He took a few steps back and glared angrily, saying, "Third brother, eighth brother, what are you doing?"

"Stop you."

The Third Elder said expressionlessly, "Ye Qiu has already broken the formation in the tomb. Only when the Nine Dragons Array is broken can the Qiu Family truly be free."

The Eighth Elder remained silent, his eyes fixed intently on his old brother with whom he had spent many years.

They heard that Ye Qiu was already breaking the formation.

The Grand Elder immediately realized what was happening.

He was initially wary of Ye Qiu because the surname Ye bothered him, so he specifically sent his third brother to keep an eye on him.

Unexpectedly, this kid is actually from the Ye Family?

The Second Elder was so enraged that he was overcome with rage.

He harbored boundless hatred for the Ye Family, never imagining that the disciple he had imparted all his knowledge to would actually be a son of the Ye Family.

"Third brother and eighth brother, you betrayed the family and deserve to die a horrible death!"

With a roar, he charged at the Eighth Elder, whose eyes were bloodshot, and launched an attack.

Despite being seriously injured, he still maintained the initiative and even seemed ready to fight to the death.

To deal with traitors who sided with the Ye Family.

What's the harm in risking my old life?

The First Elder tried to rescue the Fifth Elder, but was blocked by the Third Elder.

His face was ashen as he glared at the Third Elder and roared, "Third Elder, is your so-called freedom about killing our clansmen? Destroying hundreds of years of our family's hard work in an instant?"

"Then why do you think members of the Qiu Family are destined to guard the tomb for life? Do you remember how my sister died? She died at the hands of you bastards."

The Third Elder spoke in a sinister tone, his face contorted with venomous resentment.

Decades of hatred have been brewing in his heart, like a jar of old wine; once the lid is lifted, it can intoxicate one to the point of death.

He roared resentfully, "Just for a worthless promise from our ancestors? Even if that Mr. Zhang saved our Qiu Family back then, the Qiu Family has been guarding the tomb for hundreds of years to repay that debt of gratitude."

"Does the Qiu Family have to stay here for the next thousand years? How many members of the Qiu Family have died tragically like my sister all these years because of your rules?"

"I just want to ask the hell, what gives you the right? You crazy bastards, if you want to guard this place to the death, then guard it yourselves. Don't let every member of the Qiu Family be born here to be a watchdog."
