The phoenix's figure froze instantly, even the condensed flames hesitated, hovering in mid-air.

Li Yu's anxious appearance left the phoenix completely bewildered.

It wasn't that Li Yu suddenly softened, but rather that she was afraid the phoenix's flames were too strong and would burn down the Ao family's treasure vault hidden in Stone Town as well.

Even now, he still hasn't forgotten what Han Qing once said about the treasure trove of the Ao family.

The fact that Han Qing was willing to take great risks to come and seek revenge for the Ao family, and that he still remembered it before his death, shows that the items stored in that treasure vault must be of extraordinary value!

Li Yu's trip here was clearly not just to wipe out the remaining members of the Ao family, but also to find this treasure trove.

His golden eyes swept quickly across the town.

In the field of vision, the silk threads representing the Au family were everywhere, covering every corner of the town.

Some huddled in the dark cellar, holding their breath;

Some hid in the attic's mezzanine, trembling all over;

Even worse, some tried to blend in with the truly terrified and helpless ordinary residents, hoping to slip through the crowd and that Li Yu wouldn't harm them.

Li Yu calmly picked up the Phoenix Bow, condensing fiery energy on the arrow, just as he was about to make his move.

Just then, a group of residents of Stone Town, who were unaware of the truth and had been incited, rushed over menacingly, their eyes red, carrying crude weapons such as broadswords and daggers, instigated by a few die-hard Ao family members.

Seeing Li Yu kill the town mayor and the law enforcement team for no reason, their faces were filled with anger and madness, and they kept roaring:

"Demon! You are not a hero of Zhongzhou at all!"

"He killed the mayor! He killed our people!"

"Avenge the mayor! Kill this fake hero!"

One of the residents, with a look of certainty that Li Yu was doomed, said:

"You're finished! This is Zhongzhou. You've injured someone within Zhongzhou's borders, and you will definitely be punished!"

Li Yu's eyes were slightly cold, showing no pity as she muttered to herself:

"It seems I was wrong. I thought there were still local townspeople, but I didn't expect this town to be full of hidden remnants of the Ao family."

The moment he finished speaking, he released the bowstring.

"Whoosh—"

The crimson arrow transformed into an incredibly agile streak of death the instant it left the bowstring!

As if it possessed consciousness, it traced a strange trajectory in the air!

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

The arrows flew at incredible speed, piercing through the stone town residents one after another, whether they were charging in resistance or trying to dodge.

And it didn't end there. The red streak of light continued to fly out, like a deadly ghost, moving through every corner of the town at a speed that was impossible for the naked eye to perceive!

Regardless of strength or weakness, no matter how well they hid themselves, they were all pierced through the heart by an arrow at the same moment and killed instantly!

After eliminating these targets, the streak of light didn't even pause for a moment, instantly chasing after them out of the town.

They caught up with the remaining members of the Ao family who had already escaped some distance and thought they could escape death, and pierced their hearts one by one!

In the end, the red streak of light that had completed the bloody cleanup actually flew back on its own and was caught in Li Yu's hand.

Now, in the entire Stone Town, only those awakened individuals who were willing to risk their lives to buy time for the other members of the Au family to escape are still alive in the town square.

At this moment, all the surviving members of the Ao family stood frozen in place, their faces filled with disbelief, despair, and bewilderment, looking at Li Yu as if he were the Grim Reaper descending to earth.

The time they fought so desperately for seemed so laughable and insignificant in the face of that incredibly fast streak of light.

Even with all their efforts to stop them, they couldn't even get Li Yu to glance at them.

However, they also understood that Li Yu had deliberately spared their lives, clearly with ulterior motives.

Sure enough, Li Yu nocked the returned arrow onto the bowstring, aimed at them again, and spoke with a menacing threat in his voice:

"Where is the treasure trove of the Au family?"

Seeing Li Yu draw his bow and threaten to demand the whereabouts of the treasure vault, the remaining members of the Ao family were instead filled with a surge of bloodlust.

One of the elderly members of the Au family, with gray hair, seemed to be the highest-ranking member remaining in the town.

Upon hearing Li Yu's purpose, a twisted mockery appeared on his face, and he spat out a mouthful of saliva, hissing as he said:

"Pah! Li Yu, you little thief, don't even think about it!"

"Even if we all perish, you'll never find the Au family's treasure vault! You could turn the whole town upside down and still not take a single fragment of it!"

Another member of the Au family also grinned maliciously:

"That's right! Even we collateral branches don't know the exact location of the treasure vault! Only the deceased patriarch and a few core elders know it! Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you probably wouldn't be able to find it even standing at the entrance, let alone get inside! Hahaha!"

Even if they knew the location of the treasure vault, they would never tell Li Yu, even if it meant their death.

Now, the remnants of the Ao family are trying to provoke Li Yu in this way, hoping for a quick death to preserve their last secret.

To everyone's surprise, Li Yu, upon hearing their mockery, not only did not get angry, but instead smiled faintly.

"Only a few members of the Austrian family know this, which means there are still people who know the location..."

His left eye gleamed with golden light, and his gaze locked onto the white-haired elder of the Ao family.

Immediately, a faint but real thread extended along the body of the old man from the Ao family, connecting to the depths of the underground.

Li Yu slowly lowered her head, her gaze seemingly piercing through the thick earth, looking directly into the ground.

“Found it,” Li Yu suddenly said with a smile.

Upon seeing the underground location within Li Yu's line of sight, the elder of the Ao family was struck as if by lightning. The madness and mockery on his face instantly froze, transforming into extreme shock and horror!

"How is this possible?!"

"How...how did you know?!"

He couldn't understand how Li Yu could spot the location of such a top-secret treasure vault at a glance, a location even the mayor of Shizhen didn't quite know!

Could Li Yu have mind-reading abilities?!

You should know that in order to prevent the Jincheng Thunder Bureau from having certain predictive abilities, the Ao family did not send any members of the Ao family to guard the most important treasure. Instead, they let outsiders guard it. No one would have thought of such a method!

With such absolute certainty, how did Li Yu know in an instant that the treasure vault was hidden underground in the town?

Seeing the astonished expression on the old man's face, Li Yu's lips curled into a smile:

"I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Ao, for even sending people to guard the place in case I couldn't find it."

Li Yu's smiling expression was terrifying to the Ao family.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yu ignored the terrified remnants of the Ao family in the small square and waved his hand lightly.

"They're no longer useful."

As soon as the words were spoken, the phoenix flapped its wings again, and the flames that had been gathering around its body instantly flew out.

"Let's fight him!"

"For the sake of the Ao family!"

Amidst desperate roars, the surviving Ao family awakened individuals exhausted all their strength, unleashing their final burst of power.

Even so, it still couldn't shake the platinum-white flames burning before them.

With a clear rang out, the flames burst open instantly, transforming into even hotter and larger platinum flames that swept out like a tidal wave, engulfing the entire Graystone Town in an instant.

"it's over..."
