Liu Yanran and the others had slightly weaker soul power.

With the sea creatures actively concealing their presence, they didn't notice anything unusual about their surroundings.

However, when he saw Liu Ruyan, a strange sense of melancholy appeared on his face.

"Ruyan, we are indeed dead, but now we exist in a special way."

Liu Ruyan seemed to have thought of something and murmured softly.

"Darkness, Dark Summoning Technique, could it be a summoning technique based on dark supernatural abilities?"

The only thing that can resurrect the dead is the Dark Summoning spell.

But doesn't the Dark Summoning spell summon corpses?

The people in front of her didn't seem like normal humans!

Both sides fell into a brief silence.

The Liu family members were tortured terribly inside the Emperor's Banner. Even though their spirits had not yet collapsed, they were already running out of energy.

Liu Ruyan never imagined that she would be able to meet the Liu family again.

In her mind, the Liu family had long since died out.

Her gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on Liu Boda, who was curled up on the ground, clutching his head and sobbing softly.

Even without seeing his face clearly, she recognized him at a glance as Liu Boda, whom she had doted on for over a decade.

But her gaze lingered for only a second longer.

She acknowledged that Liu Boda was her younger brother because Liu Boda was a double S-class Dragon Knight ability user.

But for her right now, Liu Boda is nothing.

"Where is Mother? Where is she?"

Almost the entire Liu family showed up, except for Lin Xia, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Liu Chu'an hadn't figured out how to answer that question.

Liu Tianjiao, however, sneered.

"She is not our mother, she is the mother of the cultivator Liu Chen."

The resentment in his words was undisguised, and the intense grief and indignation surprised even Liu Ruyan.

What do you mean by that?

When she escaped Haicheng and arrived in Tianlang City, she learned that Liu Chuan and Lin Xia had both died at the hands of Liu Chen.

But judging from Liu Tianjiao's words, the situation seems to be different from what I had imagined!

Liu Tianjiao glared at Liu Chen resentfully and said bitterly.

"What else could it mean?"

He doesn't acknowledge any of us older sisters, but he still acknowledges Lin Xia.

Especially within the Human Emperor's Banner, their hatred for Lin Xia's existence grew even stronger.

The entire Liu family suffered all kinds of torment, so the hatred of everyone would be directed at the sole survivor.

But Liu Chen deliberately let Lin Xia go.

This caused the other children to transfer some of their hatred to Lin Xia.

But Lin Xia has indeed been very devoted to her daughters in the past.

Among them, Liu Tianjiao, who was the least favored, harbored the greatest malice towards Lin Xia.

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes as she looked at Liu Chen with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"He actually cares about family ties?"

She was skeptical of Liu Tianjiao's words.

She thought that perhaps the sisters were being manipulated by Liu Chen.

If Liu Chen really cared about Lin Xia, he wouldn't have killed her in the first place.

Liu Chu'an pursed her lips, but ultimately didn't say anything to explain.

Because of Lin Xia's special circumstances, everyone could see it.

Liu Ruyan waved her fair, white arm and gave the order in a deep voice.

"Liu Chen, I want to see where you can escape to after you're surrounded here."

"Go get him! Kill this brat!"

"I casually twirled my sword and said nonchalantly."

"Run away? Why run away?"

"It is not you who have besieged me, but I who have surrounded you."

Figures appeared one after another, densely packed and layered, filling the entire ocean.

By the time Liu Ruyan realized what was happening, nearly ten thousand figures had already appeared deep in the sea.

Surrounded by ghostly energy and churning with demonic aura, they glared at Liu Ruyan with gloomy eyes.

After glancing at it twice, Liu Ruyan chuckled softly.

"You think you can fight me with these pieces of trash? You think too highly of them."

She had known all along that Liu Chen had a group of strange energy beings under his command, so how could she not be on guard?

"In the face of true strength, numerical superiority is meaningless."

More than ten sea beasts, each the size of a mountain, merely shifted their bodies slightly.

It stirred up a huge wave, causing dust to fly for miles around, obscuring everyone's view.

"What you are about to face are ten of the world's most powerful sea beasts."

Do you really think these weaklings can stop them?

Even without the sea monsters lifting a finger, a mere flick of their bodies would be enough to obliterate this trash.

Liu Chen was unmoved by her mockery.

Numerous evil spirits emerged and entangled themselves around several sea beasts.

The moment the two sides made contact, the army of ghosts was routed.

The difference in their cultivation levels was too great; the beasts couldn't even make out their full appearance.

They had no idea where the sea monster had moved, but it had stirred up a colossal wave, shattering countless vengeful spirits into a cloud of smoke.

With a casual wave of their bodies, they possess the power of millions of tons.

The vengeful spirits of low-level vengeful spirits were simply no match for them.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan laughed even more wildly: "Liu Chen, you can't beat me. You couldn't beat me before, and you still can't beat me now!"

She knew Liu Chen would come looking for her; she had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Although it came earlier than expected, it didn't have much of an impact.

Liu Ruyan then abandoned Liu Chen and stared coldly and indifferently at Liu Chu'an.

“Father, as I have said, Boda is not as good as me, nor is Liu Chen.”

Why won't you let me succeed the Liu family? If you let me succeed, I could have developed the Liu family even better!
