His son has really suffered all these years!

"Thank you, Father." Wang Lang said guiltily, "It was my fault for being ignorant and causing trouble..."

"Alright, none of that matters. What matters is that my son will soon be reborn from the ashes! At that time... no Holy Domain Young Master can compare to my son's brilliance!"

The head of the Wang family said with a smile.

At this moment, Wang Teng outside the door felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

His father once told him: "Teng'er, now that your elder brother is crippled, the Wang family can only rely on you! Don't let your father down!"

He patted him on the shoulder and said: "After a few more years of training, my Teng'er will be able to stand on his own. That's really good."

Over the years, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Wang family, even neglecting his own cultivation time! If it weren't for these years of neglect, he wouldn't still only be at the mid-stage of the Profound Emperor realm.

He was already past the age where his cultivation could progress by leaps and bounds.

He thought all his efforts were worthwhile, but he never expected... he was just a stepping stone for Wang Lang.

Wang Teng sneered inwardly. To curry favor with his father, he had even taken a blow for him without hesitation...

But when you learn all this, all the sacrifices you made seem like a joke!

Before the Wang family father and son discovered it, Wang Teng left quietly.

-

The night was dark.

A black figure swept past above the Wang family's residence.

"It looks like something just flew by."

The patrolling guards below stopped and looked up.

It was completely empty; not even a ghost could be seen.

"Are you seeing things? Did you go drinking with brothels again last night? Hahaha!"

"I heard that a new courtesan has joined the brothel, Wan Hua Lou. You didn't secretly go to see her last night, did you?"

"Go away, do I look like such an improper person?" The guard waved his hand. "What courtesan? I don't know anything about her."

"Hahaha, still pretending? Why don't we brothers have some fun together tonight? I want to see how beautiful the new courtesan is, and whether she can outshine my Miaoyun!"

The guards chatted amongst themselves, completely forgetting what had just happened.

The lead guard stopped and looked towards the rooftop of the courtyard not far away.

He thought he had just seen a figure.

Could it really be his imagination?

On second thought, this is the Wang family! The number one family in Shenyue City, with waves of patrolling guards and numerous arrays and mechanisms inside the mansion.

Even if someone knows the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to burrow underground), they still can't escape the array and traps! Besides... no one would be so bold as to come to the Wang family to seek death, right?

Meanwhile, the black figure had already cunningly leaped over several tall buildings, its movements as nimble as a cat as it evaded the traps and formations.

Although Liu Yue is not proficient in array formations, avoiding these traps and arrays is not a problem! It's just that her progress will be a little slower.

For example, I was almost discovered by the patrolling guards just now.

Liu Yue followed the scent in the air and arrived at a courtyard north of the Wang family mansion.

A cold wind blew in, scattering withered yellow leaves that landed on the girl's shoulders.

"careful."

Xiao Luo's voice rang in my ears.

Whoosh! Immediately following was the sound of cold air cutting through the air...

Ryuzuki nimbly darted backward...

That was close!

Liu Yue took a deep breath, not daring to relax for even a moment, just now... she almost triggered the mechanism.

I never expected that there would be traps and formations in this dilapidated courtyard.

“No,” Liu Yue murmured. “I cast a tracking spell on that man during the day, but the tracking spell’s aura stops here.”

“If it were just an ordinary courtyard, there wouldn’t be such a dangerous mechanism,” Xiao Luo calmly analyzed from inside the space. “This place must lead to other places.”

"Hmm." Liu Yue nodded, then leaped to the treetop, surveying the entire courtyard.

I didn't find anything different.

"Set up so secretly?" Liu Yue frowned, jumped down from the treetop, and her feet had just touched the ground.

Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet gave way, and I plummeted downwards.

"Depend on!"

Liu Yue was completely flustered and quickly conjured a protective barrier.

She slipped into the space.

"What's that noise?"

A low, wary voice rang out from outside the space.

Liuyue manipulated space to roll behind the stone.

The man did not notice anything unusual.

"I think you're just too nervous. There are so many traps outside, how could anyone have gotten in? Come on, let's have a drink."

The group toasted and drank, unaware that a faint streak of light had flashed past in the shadows.

...

"ah!"

The man was locked in a cage made of black iron, his limbs were firmly locked by black iron chains, and he was spread-eagled and unable to move.

His tattered clothes barely covered his vital parts, and his exposed skin was covered with whip marks, old wounds not yet healed and new ones added.

Blood flowed freely down the man's body.

The man was breathing heavily, and beneath him lay a transparent container filled with the blood that had flowed from his body.

It has an eerie blackness to it!

It emitted waves of foul odor.

"You...will not have a good death."

The man let out a hoarse roar, staring intently at the middle-aged man outside the cage.

"Die a horrible death? You should worry about yourself. Look at the state you're in, you're the one who should die a horrible death," Qu Tianlei said with a sneer.

"Elder Qu, he has already bled out almost all his blood, so he's of little use now."
