Those Who Commit Many Wrongs Will Bring About Their Own Destruction

"Everyone thought that Old Master Han died because he missed Second Grand Master Han, but that's not the case. Old Master Han had three sons and three daughters. All three daughters married and moved away. The eldest son stayed in the Han family in Haozhou, while the other two sons embarked on the path of immortality."

But the path to immortality is not so easy; the jade pendants of the Second Master and the Third Master shattered one after the other more than ten or twenty years ago.

These two took a lot of cultivation resources from the Han family, and even the longevity-enhancing medicinal herbs for Old Master Han were taken away by them.

The old master Han was naturally unable to accept the death of his son, but in order to avoid turmoil in the Han family, he could only change his excuse.

As for the master and mistress, I only added a slow-acting poison to their daily meals and snacks. The poison works very slowly and only takes effect when they are emotionally agitated, so I have been waiting for an opportunity.

Three years ago, I finally got this opportunity. The second young lady was kidnapped by thieves. As soon as I heard the news, I knew my chance had come. I bribed the midwife to make the eldest young lady have a difficult childbirth. In this way, the Han family line would truly end.

As expected, the master and mistress were devastated by the news and died several months later after the poisoning took effect.

Landowner Zhu spoke, the expression on his face changed from fear to excitement.

Han Xiuyuan grew increasingly enraged as he listened, and with a heavy kick, he knelt down and slammed his leg into Landowner Zhu's body, gritting his teeth as he said:

"You damned old bastard, my Han family has treated you well, and my eldest sister is even pregnant with your grandson. How could you do such a vicious thing?"

"Hehe."

Landowner Zhu chuckled, "Your Han family is nothing but ignorant villagers. If it weren't for Second Grand Master Han joining the immortal sect, your family would never have been able to enter Haozhou City in this lifetime. My Zhu Lineage was once a wealthy family in Haozhou. If it weren't for our family's decline, I wouldn't have sold myself to your Han family."

As for the bastard child in your elder sister's belly, what does it have to do with me? If it weren't for your elder sister carrying a bastard child, do you think Master Han would have chosen my son as his son-in-law?

My son is so intelligent, yet he's destined to become a live-in son-in-law of the Han family, forced to wear a green hat for no reason! When I learned of this, I wanted nothing more than to kill the entire Han family! How hateful, how hateful!!!

hiss...

Those present gasped in shock upon hearing this. They hadn't expected to not only witness the magnificence of an immortal but also hear such a secret. Would that immortal kill them to cover their tracks?

Everyone cautiously turned their gaze toward Second Grand Master Han.

Han Ping looked calmly at Landowner Zhu and said indifferently, "Have you finished speaking?"

"Having said all that, even if I die, it will be worth it."

Landowner Zhu said excitedly.

"Rest assured, I won't let you die so painfully. Since you wiped out my entire Han family, I will make you watch your loved ones die one by one before your eyes."

Han Ping's tone was very calm, as if he were saying that he was going to crush a group of ants.

"No, no!"

Upon hearing this, Landowner Zhu panicked. The thing an old person fears most is not death, but having no descendants.

He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Immortal, please spare my family! This was all my doing."

"Snort!"

Han Ping snorted coldly, "You weren't like this just now."

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from not far away, and a group of people rode towards them.

Curious onlookers turned to see Judicial Commissioner Zhu leading a troop of cavalry towards them.

"Judicial Commissioner Zhu is here; this is going to be good."

"Even if Judicial Commissioner Zhu is strong, he is still a mortal. How could he possibly defeat an immortal?"

"..."

Sigh...

Amidst the murmurs, Judicial Commissioner Zhu dismounted. He had just received intelligence from the passersby that the immortals from the Han family had come knocking on their door and were even forcing his father to kowtow and kneel.

Seeing his father repeatedly kowtowing, he couldn't bear it and quickly stepped forward to help him up, saying, "Immortal Master, I don't know where my Zhu Lineage has offended the Han family. Please enlighten us."

Han Ping didn't speak, but used magic to recall what Landowner Zhu had said earlier.

After reading it, Judicial Commissioner Zhu became completely distraught, muttering to himself, "Father, you're confused! The one who had an affair with Xiulan was actually me! So the one who killed my own child and wife was actually me!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers and Landowner Zhu all showed expressions of shock.

Thump!

Landowner Zhu also slumped to the ground, staring blankly ahead.

"My father betrayed his faith, and I, his son, have taken all this for granted—this is disloyalty. My wife and daughters died at the hands of others, yet I could not avenge them—this is injustice. How can such a disloyal and injusticeful person like me have the face to become the Prefect of Haozhou and bring justice to the people of Haozhou?"

After Judicial Commissioner Zhu sighed, he turned around, drew the sword from the cavalry leader beside him, and slit his own throat.

"No!!!"

Landowner Zhu never expected his son to choose such a way to die, and he screamed in agony.

Han Ping said calmly, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. This is your retribution. Since my Han family has not wronged your Zhu Lineage, then you can all die. Xiuyuan."

"My grandson is here."

Han Xiuyuan took a step forward.

Han Ping casually tossed over a talisman. "This is Blood Kin Talisman. You just need to dab it with Judicial Commissioner Zhu's blood, and all of Zhu Lineage's blood relatives will be clearly visible. Bring them all out without leaving a single one alive!"

"Yes!"

As Han Xiuyuan spoke, he turned his gaze to the wicked servants and said calmly, "Many of you were formerly servants of my Han family. Now I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourselves by coming with me to capture the Zhu Lineage."

"We obey."

The servants all said in unison that they had already been terrified by Han Ping's methods, and now that Han Xiuyuan was willing to give them a chance, they naturally wanted to seize it.

Half an hour later, all ten or so members of the Zhu Lineage had turned into corpses.

Han Ping tossed a pile of silver coins at the cavalrymen watching the spectacle, saying, "I'd appreciate it if you could help me clean up the mess."

"Thank you, Immortal."

The cavalrymen quickly picked up the silver and then began to wash the ground.

Han Ping then led Han Xiuyuan and Mandala into the Han residence. As for the plaque of the Zhu residence, it had already been kicked to pieces by Han Xiuyuan.

The commotion on the street naturally did not escape the notice of the powerful and wealthy in Haozhou City.

Upon hearing that an immortal had descended upon Haozhou City, the minds of the powerful and wealthy began to stir.

Compared to ordinary people, they are not completely ignorant about cultivation. If they can seize this opportunity to obtain a chance to become immortal, they will be rich.

As night fell, in the prefectural residence, the prefect of Haozhou addressed the elderly man seated in the main seat, saying, "Uncle, you may be able to sense just what kind of being that immortal elder of the Han family truly is."

The old man shook his head and said, "His cultivation is above mine. He only slightly revealed a trace of his aura, yet he is already stronger than the seniors in my sect. We will pay him a visit tomorrow."

"Promise."

The prefect respectfully responded...
