Still, a sliver of hope remained. Her uncle wouldn't treat Gu Luoqi and their child Gu Boya like this:
"Where are Luoqi and Boya?"
Gu Zhenyang did not evade. "Dead."
Bai Liuli's eyes immediately welled up. "Did you kill them?"
Gu Zhenyang said proudly, "Indeed!"
Bai Liuli felt a surge of heat in her head, becoming dazed. "You are Luoqi's own uncle, Boya's own paternal uncle, how could you bring yourself to do it?"
Gu Zhenyang snorted coldly. "Luoqi held the 'Shu Jian Lu' for too long. It's time for it to change hands."
Bai Liuli nodded. "So, it was all for the 'Shu Jian Lu'..."
Then she thought, "No, Luoqi has the supreme artifact 'Shu Jian Lu' with one hundred and three Dragon-grade magical artifacts. You are no match for him! How...?"
Gu Zhenyang said, "Using the engagement arranged by the ancients, Shishi as bait. Gu Luoqi, being lustful and overconfident, naturally fell into the trap."
Bai Liuli shook her head. "You... you actually used your own daughter?"
Gu Zhenyang looked indifferent. "Those who wish to achieve great things should not be bound by trifles. She was prepared for sacrifice long ago. What is there to hesitate about?"
Bai Liuli's expression immediately changed, and she no longer addressed him as uncle. "Gu Zhenyang, you are shameless! You beast!"
Gu Zhenyang, unangered, chuckled instead. "Alright, my good niece-in-law, what else do you wish to ask?"
Bai Liuli looked at his bizarre gaze, and her body involuntarily shivered. "What do you want?"
Gu Zhenyang smiled faintly. "For this past month, the brothers have been busy searching for the 'Shu Jian Lu' inside and out, and haven't indulged much in women. Since niece-in-law has emerged from seclusion, it's just right to reward ourselves. Don't worry, your uncle will be the first to enjoy you, I guarantee you'll be transported to heaven and back. As long as you please your uncle, I promise no one will dare to harm you."
Looking at Bai Liuli's delicate yet noble pair of white legs, Gu Zhenyang revealed a rare, sinister glint.
Bai Liuli was so enraged she summoned a divine-grade magical artifact, a violin called Hailiuli. "Gu Zhenyang, you're worse than a beast! I'll kill you!"
Gu Zhenyang was very displeased. He was talking about the bamboo pole, and this little girl actually changed the subject and cursed him. How hateful! "All of you, go! Strip her!"
"Hum! ...Creak..."
Celestial music - resoundingly clear - lingering echoes - powerful and forceful. Waves of magical energy emanated from the violin!
The two powerful beings who attacked were immediately repelled and injured. Seeing this, everyone stopped holding back. Rather than cherishing a beauty and losing their lives, it was better to be ruthless and save themselves.
Fierce blades and dancing swords surged forward! Bai Liuli raised her violin and strummed the strings, instantly blocking several powerful bursts of magical energy!
Seeing that several people were locked in a stalemate and Bai Liuli was not at a disadvantage, Gu Zhenyang could no longer stand by and launched a surprise attack from behind with a saber!
Bai Liuli couldn't dodge in time and was wounded in the back, then fled.
"Chase...!!"
Outnumbered, Bai Liuli could only temporarily retreat from theιθ, hide first, and then look for an opportunity to forcefully kill Gu Zhenyang and avenge her husband and the other two.
On the other side...
Ming Zhi Tian forcefully used one hundred and three swords to form a staircase, leaving the Ancient Nether Abyss. Although the spiritual energy consumed was immense, the vital essence from the "Longevity Art" within his body continuously replenished his spiritual energy, making it abundant and full.
As soon as he emerged from the Ancient Nether Abyss, he encountered two great powers of the sixth level of the Divine Luo Realm. Upon seeing Ming Zhi Tian, they saw the "Shu Jian Lu" they had dreamt of, their faces splitting into wide grins as they quickly blocked his path.
Ming Zhi Tian was about to test the might of the "Shu Jian Lu." "Jade Unicorn! Draw!"
"Clang!..."
"Go!"
Before they could react, the Jade Unicorn sword swept across instantly, carrying immense power, slicing both of them in half.
Until their death, they had only seen the original "Shu Jian Lu," but had never witnessed its power.
Now that they had witnessed it, it was indeed a fortunate encounter, and they left with smiles in their hearts.
Ming Zhi Tian believed this was the true might of the "Shu Jian Lu." Little did he know, this was due to his bloodline power. All the divine swords marvelled, "Incredible."
