Qiao Suinian slowly drew the Haoye Dragon Blade. The moment he realized the bed was warm, he immediately activated Dark Shadow Assassination.
The young man's ice spike pierced only a phantom image. The young man was able to detect him in advance, which shows that he is not weak, but unfortunately he did not strike hard enough.
These young masters in Kyoto clearly all have this problem: they are not decisive enough in killing. After all, their strength comes from hunting down those alien races who are locked in cages, and they are naturally no match for those who have truly struggled in the apocalypse.
Before he died, the young man turned his head and pointed at him, as if he wanted to say something, but he died before he could speak, his face full of humiliation.
"Tsk, with this commotion, the Gongsun family should all be awake by now, right?"
Qiao Suinian looked at the button-like thing in the young man's hand. If he wasn't mistaken, this thing should be able to notify the other members of the Gongsun family.
Sure enough, not long after, there were firelight and chaotic footsteps outside, which surrounded the room where Qiao Suinian was.
Bang!
The door was kicked open, and Gongsun Hui, the head of the Gongsun family, walked in first. However, when he saw the terrible scene in the room, he couldn't help but sway.
"Tian'er!"
Gongsun Hui let out a miserable scream, his eyes instantly turning red!
The deceased youth was his most outstanding son, Gongsun Zhentian! He had been grooming Gongsun Zhentian to be the next head of the family.
It can be said that even if fifty Gongsun Qianbais died, it wouldn't be as devastating to Gongsun Hui as the death of Gongsun Zhentian. Upon seeing Gongsun Zhentian's corpse, Gongsun Hui almost collapsed and fainted.
"Who did this? Who did this?!" Gongsun Hui was like a raging old lion, his eyes filled with ferocity.
If he were to catch the murderer, he would surely have to torture him to death to relieve his heartache and hatred!
"Master! Please accept our condolences!" Someone nearby saw that Gongsun Hui was so agitated and was afraid that he might faint from exhaustion, so they quickly spoke up to comfort him.
But it would have been better if he hadn't spoken. As soon as he opened his mouth, Gongsun Hui vented all his anger on him. Without thinking, Gongsun Hui slapped him across the face.
"Talking nonsense is useless; let others take heart!"
"If you utter another word, I'll let you experience what it's like to have a dead son!" Gongsun Hui roared.
"Yes, Master!" The man who was comforting Gongsun Hui lowered his head and covered his swollen cheek, tears welling up in his eyes. He felt wronged, but he didn't say anything!
Just then, someone rushed in from outside: "Master! Something terrible has happened! Not only was Young Master Zhentian assassinated, but almost half the people in the rooms of our Gongsun family have been killed!"
"What?!"
Gongsun Hui's eyes widened, his pupils suddenly shrinking to pinpoints. The shock of hearing this news in the middle of the night was no less than the excitement of opening the website and seeing the news of Professor Mikami's retirement.
"Who the hell did this? How could someone sneak into our Gongsun family and kill someone so silently? Where are the guards? Where are the spies at the gate? Are all the people I employ useless?" Gongsun Hui roared angrily, and no one dared to say a word.
After a long while, someone weakly answered, "Master... all those spies and guards are dead too."
"What?!"
Gongsun Hui was shocked again, but this time, his eyes no longer held anger, but rather a hint of fear.
The ability to kill so many of them silently is something no ordinary force could do. So who exactly wanted to destroy the Gongsun family?
In Kyoto, apart from the four major families, only the Four Symbols Legion has the capability to do such a thing. However, the Four Symbols Legion would not attack humans without a reason, as they are the official force of the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom. Therefore, the only suspects left are the four major families.
It is said that the Li and Gu families were wiped out because they offended the Qiao family, one of the four great families, for reasons unknown to anyone. Even their ant nests were doused with boiling water.
Could it be that the four major families have taken action against the Gongsun family?
But that shouldn't be the case! Gongsun Hui has no recollection of offending any of the four great families.
Gongsun Hui grew increasingly frightened as he thought about it, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down involuntarily. The thought of abandoning the Gongsun family and running away on his own had already taken root in his mind.
A son can be born again, and power can be rebuilt, but if you really offend the four great families, then you are truly dead when you die!
Just as Gongsun Hui was lost in thought, a sudden cry of alarm came from the side, as a knife was aimed straight at Gongsun Hui's heart.
"Master, be careful!"
The man who had just been slapped by Gongsun Hui rushed over and pushed Gongsun Hui away. However, this push cost him his life. Hao Ye Long Dao pierced through his body and ended his life.
He had intended to push Gongsun Hui aside before blocking the knife, but there's always a difference between imagination and reality. It's like imagining how happy your married life with your goddess would be, only to be rejected as soon as you confess your feelings. The knife was too fast; he didn't have time to react.
"President...don't grieve for me, let others grieve too..." The man collapsed into Gongsun Hui's arms, blood continuously spilling from his mouth, before dying with a smile on his face.
Gongsun Hui suddenly turned his head and saw a strange and eerie bronze mask.
"It was you?! No! You were just wearing the same mask. The real person is still hanging in the middle of the city! You came to save him? You're from Dingtianque?"
Gongsun Hui was instantly enraged, his evil intentions rising. So it wasn't the four great families that killed his Gongsun family, then what did he have to be afraid of?
"You're courting death! If I don't let you experience the world's ten most brutal tortures before you die, I'll change my name, Gongsun Hui!"
"How can Patriarch Gongsun be so sure that I am not him?"
Just as Gongsun Hui was about to make a move, Qiao Suinian slowly removed her mask, revealing a face that Gongsun Hui knew all too well.
He had just seen this face that afternoon, and the two faces were exactly the same!
"Impossible!" Gongsun Hui was utterly shocked. "I clearly saw you being hung in the middle of the city this afternoon, and there were even people guarding you. Even if you were rescued, you couldn't possibly have recovered your fighting strength so quickly after not having eaten or drunk anything for a day and a night! Could it be... you're twins?!" Gongsun Hui voiced his guess.
"you guess?"
Qiao Suinian wore a sunny and cheerful smile. He just wanted to buy some time for the resurrected corpses to surround the Gongsun family and prevent anyone from escaping. Now that he had achieved his goal, he naturally wouldn't give Gongsun Hui a free answer. Even the fortune tellers on the overpass charge you 20 for their answers.
"I won't guess! Where are the others from your Dingtianque? Tell them to come out!" Gongsun Hui looked around warily, afraid that someone might suddenly come out and ambush him.
"No need to look at Patriarch Gongsun, I am the only one here. Today, all I want is to kill you all, or be killed by you all."
