He truly could not understand it. When had their Star Luo Empire ever offended this man? Even if the Star Luo Empire was at odds with Spirit Hall, it should not have drawn this man here directly, should it?!
This defied all reason. There had to be a reason why this man had come to the Star Luo Empire, charged straight into the Star Luo Imperial Palace, and begun a massacre.
Qian Daoliu looked at him with icy eyes. "Why? My most beloved granddaughter is dead. This old man has come for revenge!"
"What?!"
Patriarch Zhu was completely stunned. He said in utter disbelief, "Your granddaughter is dead? But... Senior Qian Daoliu, what does that have to do with our Star Luo Empire?!"
"If you wish to avenge her, then you should find the person who killed your granddaughter. Why have you come to our Star Luo Empire?!"
Qian Daoliu laughed at his words, and the laughter was terrifying. "Of course I will seek revenge from him! Unfortunately, that man ran too fast. This old man cannot catch him for the moment!"
"So, this old man can only kill all of you people who are deeply entangled with him first. Once I have killed every last one of you, I will naturally go find him and kill him with my own hands!"
Patriarch Zhu shuddered and urgently asked, "Senior Qian Daoliu, who was it?! Who killed your granddaughter and brought such a catastrophic disaster upon our Star Luo Empire?!"
The person who had killed Qian Daoliu's granddaughter was actually deeply connected to their Star Luo Empire? This was simply a disaster out of nowhere. They did not even know who it was!
"Tang San!" Before Patriarch Zhu could react, Qian Daoliu added, "Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are Tang San's companions."
"They followed Tang San and fled without a trace. Since I cannot find them for now, this blood debt will naturally be repaid with the lives of the Dai Family of the Xingluo Imperial Family and your Zhu Family!"
"What?! Zhuqing?! Mobai?!" Hearing those two familiar names, Patriarch Zhu felt as though he had been struck by lightning.
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! It was actually Zhuqing and Mobai?! It was because of those two juniors..."
Patriarch Zhu laughed in fury. He had never expected it to be Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.
When Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai had suddenly left the Star Luo Empire, he had thought they were going off to do something. Now it seemed they had fled to escape disaster.
They had not even thought to inform their elders. Only when Qian Daoliu came to kill them did they finally learn the truth.
How utterly ridiculous. Because of those two, their Zhu Family and Dai Family were going to be destroyed?! Hahahaha! How utterly ridiculous!
"Senior... this junior understands." Patriarch Zhu took a deep breath, ready to face death. "This junior knows that begging for mercy is useless."
"I only wonder how Senior intends to deal with the Xingluo Imperial Family and His Majesty?"
Qian Daoliu's gaze was as sharp as blades as he looked toward the Star Luo Imperial Palace. "How will I deal with them?! Kill them all. Leave not a single one alive!"
"On my way here, this old man has already exterminated the Tiantou Imperial Family, Shrek Academy, the remnants of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School—Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong—as well as the Clear Sky School and the Tang Sect. Not a single one was spared!"
"Rest assured, you will not be alone on the road to the underworld. After I send off your Xingluo Imperial Family, this old man will naturally seek out Tang San and the others and send them down to join you. If you hate anyone, then hate them. They are the ones who led this old man here!"
Patriarch Zhu's eyes widened as he said bitterly, "The Tiantou Imperial Family... Shrek Academy, even the Clear Sky School has already been wiped out?!"
"So this is a Peerless Douluo? This is the invincible Peerless Douluo of the world? We all underestimated Peerless Douluo. Fine, dying at the hands of someone like you can be considered our honor."
They had once believed that Peerless Douluo were still Soul Masters, and Soul Masters were still human. As long as they were human, they could be buried beneath sheer numbers!
But now it seemed... Qian Daoliu had killed his way here from Heaven Dou City, slaughtering an unknown number of people, and the news had not even reached the Star Luo Empire yet. Clearly, all of this had happened within a short time.
A Peerless Douluo was truly invincible. They and ordinary Soul Masters were practically in entirely different realms, one in the heavens and one on the earth.
"Alas..." Patriarch Zhu sighed softly. Before recognizing Qian Daoliu's identity, he had actually hoped to bury him beneath this swarm of ants?! How laughable!
With a wet stab, Qian Daoliu raised his hand and swung. The Angel Holy Sword pierced directly through Patriarch Zhu's chest. Scorching sacred flames instantly erupted from the wound, and in less than half a breath—
Patriarch Zhu turned to ash amid the sacred flames. When the wind blew... nothing remained. Not even a corpse was left behind.
Seeing Patriarch Zhu reduced to ashes, the few surviving Soul Douluo from the surrounding noble families completely broke down.
They no longer cared about dignity. They only wanted to live, so they all fell to their knees and knocked their heads against the ground like pounding garlic, begging Qian Daoliu for mercy.
"Senior Qian Daoliu, spare our lives! Please, Senior, show mercy!"
"We know nothing! What Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and that Tang San did has nothing to do with us."
"Please spare our lives! We are willing to serve Spirit Hall as our master! We will work like oxen and horses without hesitation!"
"We do not want to die. We only want to live. If you wish to destroy the Dai Family and Zhu Family, we are willing to help!"
Qian Daoliu coldly swept his gaze over the Star Luo noble family Soul Douluo who were kowtowing and begging. Disgust flashed through his eyes. He had seen more than enough of this. How could he possibly spare them?!
"Spare you? Why should this old man spare you?"
"Perhaps you truly know nothing. Perhaps there are indeed innocent people among you. But what does that have to do with this old man?"
"This old man came to Star Luo City today for one purpose only: killing. In my eyes, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than let even one go!"
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, one Soul Douluo immediately rose and cursed, "You old bastard! What kind of invincible expert are you? Tang San killed your granddaughter, so go find Tang San if you have the ability!"
"What does it make you to come here and slaughter us? You are only bullying us because we are weak! If we were as strong as you, would you dare?"
Qian Daoliu sneered. "You are right!"
"This old man is bullying you because you are weak. It is precisely because you are not Peerless Douluo that you are so weak, and that weakness is your greatest crime!"
As soon as his words fell, Qian Daoliu swung his sword. The Soul Douluo who had cursed him died, and he died thoroughly.
"Fight him! We will die no matter what. Even if we must die, we must die with some dignity!"
Seeing that they had no path to survival, the remaining Soul Douluo all rose and launched attacks at Qian Daoliu.
However, before absolute power, all resistance was futile. Qian Daoliu swung his sword three times in succession.
Stab, stab, stab. Three flashes of sword light streaked through the air, and a rain of blood scattered across the night sky. A moment later, the surroundings fell completely silent.
Corpses littered the ground, and blood flowed into rivers! Those once-arrogant noble families and Soul Douluo had not left a single survivor.
