Faced with the young master's lewd gaze, Liu Yan and Su Jiu'er were so nervous that their palms were sweating.
Zhao Keying, standing behind the two, subtly reached into her pocket, intending to secretly call He Xie for help.
But the moment her hand reached in, the young master noticed something amiss. His eyes narrowed, and he used his mental power to snatch the phone from her pocket from a distance, saying with a disdainful look, "Heh, trying to tip off someone and get help? Wishful thinking."
"I'll keep this phone for you for now. I'll call you for help properly when we get to bed."
As the young master spoke, his gaze lingered greedily on Zhao Keying's silk-stockinged legs, making no attempt to conceal his illicit intentions.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Keying bit her red lips, suppressing her anger and urge to retaliate, while secretly hoping that He Xie would return soon.
Gu Xinyao had a stubborn temper. When she saw her adoptive mother and sister being harassed, she immediately started cursing: "If you dare to touch Aunt Liu, Sister Jiu'er, or Sister Keying, I will never let you go when He Xie comes back. I will cut you off and make you a eunuch!"
"Tsk tsk, as expected of a descendant of the Witch Clan, her mouth is truly sharp."
The young master looked at Gu Xinyao with a smile, then suddenly his expression darkened and he ordered one of the guards beside him, "Go, slap this girl until she can't speak anymore!"
"yes!"
The burly guard responded and immediately strode towards Gu Xinyao.
Gu Xinyao never expected this young master to be so ruthless, not even sparing little girls. She was so frightened that she hid behind Liu Yan, crying out in shock and fear.
"Buzz—"
A whooshing sound suddenly rang out.
The twisted tree spirit, which was originally only a little over a meter tall, suddenly revealed its true form and transformed into a towering tree that blotted out the sky. It swung its vines and lashed out at the guard who was walking towards Gu Xinyao.
The guard couldn't react at all and was sent flying dozens of meters away with a bang, smashing through several boulders along the way.
Seeing this, the young master and his other guards were dumbfounded.
Soon, the Three-Legged Golden Crow, the Yingying Grass, and the Water Spirit also joined in, each displaying their unique abilities to attack the group of uninvited guests.
Blood Venom Bees, Hallucinogenic Grass, and various pets that have recently hatched from the Infinite Blood Eggs also launched an attack under the command of the Four Heavenly Kings.
An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one.
He Xie had raised these creatures in the yard for so long so that they could protect the orphanage if it were attacked.
"Charge! All of you, charge! Kill all these monstrous things!"
Enraged, the young master yelled at the guards behind him.
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately charged angrily at the Four Heavenly Kings.
"It's over."
Liu Yan's face was ashen.
The Four Heavenly Kings were too low-level creatures; they were no match for the elites from the Human Emperor's Palace. The attack they had just suffered had not harmed them, but had only insulted and enraged them.
Just as everyone closed their eyes, waiting for the opponent's attack to land.
A streak of sparks and light swooped down from the distant sky toward the orphanage.
Everyone looked up at the sky upon hearing the sound.
Su Jiu'er possessed naturally strong spiritual power and extremely keen senses. She immediately recognized the face of the person flying in from hundreds or thousands of meters away and exclaimed excitedly, "Master, it's Master who's back!"
Upon hearing this, the other people in the orphanage's eyes lit up, and they felt a great weight lifted off their shoulders.
He Xie is back! The orphanage is saved!
Only Liu Yan's eyes were filled with worry. She was afraid that He Xie would not be able to defeat this group of traitors who caused the destruction of the Human Emperor's Palace by all races back then, and that his return would only add another victim.
"This is the He Xie you've been talking about?"
"Good thing you're back!"
"I'll kill him right now and show you what despair truly means!"
After saying that, the young master ordered the guards beside him, "Take your red-tasseled spears and shoot him down!"
"yes!"
Dozens of guards responded in unison.
Then, dozens of red-tasseled spears were aimed at He Xie high in the sky. With all their might, these guards threw them, and they all flew towards He Xie with a whoosh, aiming straight for his vital points.
Seeing this, Liu Yan below shrank back and shouted nervously, "Watch out!"
Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and the message couldn't reach He Xie's ears at all.
Whether it gets passed on or not doesn't matter anymore.
The strength He Xie displayed in the next moment shocked everyone present.
His eyes narrowed, and the red-tasseled spears that had been shooting towards him suddenly stopped, then strangely changed direction, buzzing several times as they reflected back at the group of guards below.
Moreover, the speed at which it was reflected back was dozens or even hundreds of times faster than before!
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"......"
Soon, a sound of flesh being torn apart rang out.
Those guards below, still looking up at the sky and not yet reacting, were all pierced through the heart by red-tasseled spears in an instant, instantly losing all signs of life.
"winter--"
He Xie landed, shaking the entire orphanage and sending dust and fallen leaves flying everywhere.
He emerged silently from the dust and fallen leaves, his face filled with murderous intent as he walked toward the young master who wanted to take advantage of the women in the orphanage, his eyes chillingly cold.
The young master was so frightened that his palms were sweating, and he turned and ran without saying a word.
However, before he could run two steps, a terrifying biological pressure came from behind him and slammed him to the ground with a loud bang, rendering him completely unable to move.
"You...you can't kill me, my dad is..."
"......Bang!"
He Xie ignored the young master's threat and, before he could finish speaking, punched him in the head, killing him instantly.
Soon, a wisp of divine soul floated out from the young master's corpse.
The wisp of spirit swiftly transformed into a middle-aged man with dignified features, his face contorted with rage as he demanded, "You murdered my beloved son! I will never forgive you..."
"...Buzz!"
He Xie didn't give him a chance to finish speaking, and directly drew his Soul-Slaying Blade and slashed at him, shattering his soul with a single blow.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yan behind her was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
She truly couldn't imagine that He Xie's current strength was so terrifying that he could crush a group of imperial palace guards composed of epic and legendary powerhouses like ants.
This is absolutely incredible.
Even the Human Emperor, who was once hailed as having unparalleled evolutionary talent, paled in comparison to him and had no competitive edge whatsoever.
"ever!"
He Xie released his spiritual power and cleaned up the corpses on the ground from a distance, piling them all together and burning them.
Liu Yan hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped forward and softly called out to him, "He Xie..."
He Xie: "Let's go back inside and sit down to talk."
Liu Yan pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "Okay."
......
In the living room, the family of seven sat together.
Li Muke slowly woke up in Liu Yan's arms. As soon as she saw her brother sitting opposite her, she immediately ran over and burst into tears, hugging his leg and sobbing, "Brother Xie, so many bad people came to the house! I was so scared, waaaaah..."
He Xie thought her crying was too noisy, so he took out a lot of food from his system backpack and told her to squat down and eat, instead of making a fuss and disturbing everyone's peace.
Li Muke is indeed a foodie; she immediately stopped crying as soon as she saw food.
Because you only have one mouth, you can't eat while crying.
Even if she had two mouths, she probably wouldn't cry; she would just stuff both mouths full of food.
"Aunt Liu, what was the story behind those people who broke into the orphanage? And what is the background of you and Yuxin? I want to know these things."
He Xie looked at Liu Yan across from him and asked her earnestly.
This question had been puzzling him for a long time, and he needed to know the answer today.
