She searched so fast that when she swept behind Liu Zhenxin, she left an afterimage in the same spot.
"Aaaaaah... What is this?! Aaaaah..."
Liu Zhenxin screamed in agony, her brows furrowed tightly.
The liquid slid down her scalp, onto her face, and then onto her shoulders, making her feel a burning pain all over her body.
It felt like being crushed bit by bit by something, forcibly minced into pieces.
With a 'bang,' it fell to the ground from mid-air, splashing up a mess of residue and liquid.
White fleshy worms surged out of the still-corroding limbs, gnawing at the bits of flesh and blood.
Xunmi and Ouyang Hanshuang felt nauseous and their faces were pale, but Xunmi insisted on finishing the reading.
When only the white fleshy worms remained, Xunmi, carrying Ouyang Hanshuang, stood in the air and flew above the entire Liu family.
The bright flame in his hand blazed brightly. "The Liu family should go down and keep Grandfather and Grandpa company."
Flames fell on various parts of the Liu family's residence, accompanied by screams and cries of terror.
There were many people ramming against the gate and banging on the walls.
These people have clearly lost their minds, yet they haven't forgotten their instinct to escape; it's truly laughable.
He searched for the hand seals in his hand, and a golden barrier completely sealed off the entire Liu family.
"Let's go." The once-prosperous Liu family, on this very night, was completely reduced to dust in the annals of history.
Ouyang Hanshuang had been paying attention to her little master's emotions the whole way, and was relieved to find that she was no longer in pain.
She started chattering again when she heard that her little master was going to the Holy Valley to find her lover.
After thinking about it, Ouyang Hanshuang decided to go along as well.
She wasn't there to be a third wheel; she just thought the term "hidden family" sounded mysterious.
She wanted to go and see for herself, so that her trip to this strange world wouldn't have been in vain.
"Junior sister, are you really sure?" Tianxuan asked with worry in his eyes.
After not seeing her for several months, my junior sister's cultivation level has improved again.
Tianxuan was somewhat disheartened. It seemed that he hadn't been able to settle down for a long time, which made it difficult for him to make any progress in his cultivation.
Perhaps while things are relatively calm at Liuguang Sect, he can go out and gain some experience.
Xunmi nodded: "Senior brother, I have already spoken to Senior Brother Xuanguang."
"I don't know when I'll be back this time. I don't have anything good to give you, so please accept this Marrow Cleansing Pill as a farewell gift."
"I hope we can have a match next time we meet."
Influenced by the original owner's personality, Xunmi really does want to throw a punch from time to time.
Tianxuan did not delay, as he understood his junior sister's personality quite well.
He accepted the Marrow Cleansing Pill and told himself that he would definitely give his junior sister an even better treasure in return.
"Alright, then junior sister, be careful on your journey. If anything happens, send me a message."
Xunmi smiled faintly, waved to Tianxuan, and pulled Hanshuang to sit on the Golden-Winged Roc beside him.
This is a flying monster that I caught while searching for it when I left the Eye of Death.
Actually, it can only be considered that the Golden-Winged Roc was unlucky. It didn't appear earlier or later, but just happened to show up and gloat when it was searching for a way to escape the Eye of Death.
As a result, she was tragically taken away by Xunmi, who complained that walking took too long.
It was a celestial-rank magical beast that reigned supreme in the Eye of Death, but tragically became this violent woman's mount, leaving it utterly heartbroken.

"How did the sealing go today?" Luo Ling asked as she approached Young Master Su, who had emerged from the forbidden area.
When they returned, they learned that the seal on the demonic energy had loosened, and several members of their clan had already died.
Not only did it cause widespread panic, but the seal continued to slowly crack.
No matter how much spiritual power the elders and patriarch exhausted, they couldn't repair it; they could only suppress it.
The problem was only slightly alleviated after Gongzi Su and Luo Ling returned.
Demonic energy is an extremely yin and resentful substance. To suppress and completely seal it, one must use extremely yang and extremely intense spiritual power.
Within the entire reclusive family, there are no more than four people who cultivate extremely intense and powerful techniques.
The most powerful among them is Gongzi Su, but even if he is powerful, he still cannot repair the cracked seal by himself.
Therefore, the clan began to discuss arranging for Prince Su to marry another woman of extremely yang nature.
Then, they extracted the extreme yang spiritual power from the woman's body, and with the assistance of several clan elders, they tried their best to repair the seal.
In that case, even if things go badly, they can still manage to hold on for another ten years or so.
Perhaps, in the next ten years or so, they will be able to find a complete solution.
However, Young Master Su consistently disagreed, which created a tense atmosphere throughout the entire clan.
As Gongzi Su's childhood friend and the person who accompanied him on his trip, he naturally knew why Gongzi Su disagreed.
Since she already has someone she loves, why would she marry someone she doesn't love?
Young Master Su frowned: "The situation is not good, Luo Ling, I need your help."
I will wait for you to come to me, and if I cannot wait, I will find you first in the next life.
Luo Ling had a bad feeling, and her voice was hesitant.
"What...what are you going to do?"
"When the tribe can no longer hold on, use me as a seal."
Young Master Su knew that if he refined himself into an extremely yang magical artifact, he could completely repair the seal.
He was neither a great man nor a selfless one.
He was only searching for this person on the Tianze Continent. If demonic energy were rampant, would she be safe and sound?
He didn't want to gamble, nor did he dare to gamble. She was the bright spot in his heart, and he hoped she would be alright.
"Are you crazy?" Luo Ling's voice suddenly became sharp, as if she wanted to rush up and punch him to wake him up.
"Young Master Su, do you know what you're saying? Have you thought about your uncles and aunts?"
"Also, Liu Xunmi, oh no, I mean Young Master Xunmi, have you thought about her?"
"You ask her to come find you, but what will she think and do if she comes and finds you're not there?"
Luo Ling was going crazy inside. His childhood friend had always been very rational, so how could he say such a thing this time?
Young Master Su stared steadily at Luo Ling, his tone calm yet resolute.
"It's because of her that I have to do this."
Luo Ling fell silent, and after a long while, she murmured, "You...you...are you worth it?"
Is someone you've only met a few times worth risking your life for?
"It's worth it." Without the slightest hesitation, Young Master Su replied.
He turned and left, not looking at Luo Ling's hesitant expression.
Young Master Su was actually very unwilling; he wanted to see that fiery red figure again.
But he was also afraid that he would lose his temper if he saw her, so he wanted her to live.
Looking at her childhood friend's straight back, Luo Ling suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders.
Yes, why wouldn't it be worth it?
They have guarded this secret generation after generation, and are now utterly exhausted.
