Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Nanhuang City.

Even though it had been over ten days since he left, nothing here had changed.

On his way to the residence, Xiao Yi was covered in the smell of blood, causing people to steer clear of him.

"Qingzhu, I'm back!"

As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Yi called out, but there was no response. A sense of intense unease gripped his heart.

When he reached Fang Qingzhu's bedroom, he discovered it was in complete disarray, with no one to be found.

"How could this be? Where is everyone?" Xiao Yi's face turned pale.

At that moment...

Lin Bingxin's voice came from outside, "Qingzhu, are you not home? Why is the main door open?" Lin Bingxin appeared in the bedroom and saw Xiao Yi with his back to her, her eyes lit up, "Xiao Yi, you're back?"

Xiao Yi looked as grim as still water, turning to face Lin Bingxin.

His eyes were fierce like a wild animal's, emitting a chilling light that seemed to threaten to devour someone.

Lin Bingxin felt a bone-chilling cold, she swallowed hard, her voice trembling, "What, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yi said with a cold face, "I asked you to take care of Qingzhu, where is she? Where did she go?"

"Qingzhu is missing?"

Lin Bingxin was startled, only then noticing the mess in the bedroom. Her face changed dramatically, "Impossible, she was still here when I left this morning, how could this happen…"

Xiao Yi's face remained as grim as water, "You just left this morning?"

"Yes!"

Lin Bingxin quickly said, "I had to deal with some matters at the Treasure Pavilion, I left for just an hour…"

"The Zhang Family? The Fang Family? Or is it the Black Tiger Gang?"

Xiao Yi's mind raced like a fierce tiger as he headed for the door, "You'd better not have hurt Qingzhu, if even a single hair on her head is harmed, I'll annihilate your entire clan!"

Watching Xiao Yi rush out the door...

Lin Bingxin stood in a daze for a moment, then came to her senses, "This is bad, a major disaster is about to unfold, I must report to my master immediately…"

...…..

The Zhang Family.

Two guards at the Physical Body Realm stood watch at the front. They barely caught a glimpse of Xiao Yi's figure appearing before the gate. They called out, "Who goes there? This is the Zhang residence, trespassers will be killed without mercy!"

"Bring out Zhang Yong to see me!" Xiao Yi said coldly.

"How audacious!"

One of the guards became furiously enraged, "You dare to call the family head by name, it seems you're here to make trouble. Die!"

The two guards raised their swords and slashed at Xiao Yi.

Crash!

Xiao Yi moved swiftly, kicking the Zhang family's gate wide open, while the two guards still maintained their sword-swinging posture, but a red line grew across their throats, and their heads tumbled down.

The commotion naturally drew the attention of the Zhang Family's experts.

Several strong figures appeared in front of Xiao Yi, with Zhang Xiong at the forefront, his face incredulous, "Xiao Yi? You, you're actually alive?"

Xiao Yi moved, his vital energy surging wildly, sending more than a dozen of the Zhang family's experts flying away in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Zhang Xiong, who reacted with horror and threw a punch in defense.

Xiao Yi used his finger as a sword, severing Zhang Xiong's arms, then grabbed his throat with one hand and said coldly, "Where is she?"

Zhang Xiong's face grew paler, his expression ferocious, "Xiao, Xiao Yi, you're indeed formidable. Not only did you survive the jump from that abyss, but your strength has also improved tremendously. But what of it? Aren't you supposed to protect Fang Qingzhu? Right now, she's probably already been ruined by our young master, hahaha…"

"Seeking death!"

Xiao Yi's face was unspeakably ugly, his eyes blood red.

"Seeking death? Hahaha, if I, Zhang Xiong, were afraid of dying, would I lead a team to ambush and kill you?" Zhang Xiong laughed manically, "You just wait at home. Once the young master is tired of Fang Qingzhu, he will naturally send her back to you, hahaha…"

"Not afraid of dying, are you? For every breath you don't speak, I'll kill ten of your Zhang Family. I will make your family accompany her in death!"

With a casual swing of the Blazing Wind Pursuit Sword.

He decapitated a Tenth Layer Physical Body Realm expert.

"You..." Zhang Xiong's eyes were split with rage.

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Two breaths!"

Thud!

Another person was beheaded.

Thud!

Three people!

Four people!

Five people...

Xiao Yi had already slain more than thirty people, like a blood-colored god of death, the powerful members of the Zhang Family around him had lost their nerve early on and tried to flee. But as long as they dared to move a step, Xiao Yi's sword would fall upon them.

Looking at the corpses strewn across the ground, blood flowing into rivers, staining the entire front courtyard red.

Despair filled Zhang Xiong's eyes, "Devil, you are a devil..."

"Devil? Even if I have become a demon, it was you who forced me!" Xiao Yi said coldly.

"Brother Xiong, just tell him!"

"We don't want to die..."

One after another, the strong members of the Zhang Family knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Zhang Xiong watched Xiao Yi raise his longsword again, despair mixed with intense reluctance and resignation, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you... The young master and the family head took Fang Qingzhu to the dungeon in the backyard, please stop killing..."

"Take me there!"

Xiao Yi grabbed Zhang Xiong with one hand, while the sword point rested on the neck of a Qi Gathering Realm Third Layer strongman, who slumped his head down and led the way.

In the backyard, in front of a rockery.

Zhang Xiong said, "The entrance to the dungeon is behind the rockery."

Crack!

Xiao Yi's fingers clenched, snapping Zhang Xiong's neck, tossing his corpse aside. As he retracted his longsword, the strongman from the Zhang Family also had his throat sealed by the sword.

Xiao Yi followed the entrance behind the rockery into the underground passage.

Inside the dungeon, the firelight flickered dimly, adding to the sinister atmosphere.

Now and then, one could see rats scuttling in the darkness.

In the deepest cell.

Fang Qingzhu, bound tightly, was trapped on a torture rack, hair disheveled, her body covered in whip marks stained with blood. Beneath her feet, two hollow bamboo tubes were inserted into her veins, her blood dripping down, leaving stains on the ground.

Fang Qingzhu's lips were pale and cracked, her dark eyes fixated on Zhang Ze father and son in front of her, "Is this all you're capable of? Dreaming of vengeance against Xiao Yi with such skills?"

"This bitch sure has a tough mouth..." Zhang Yong threw the bloodied whip on the ground, sitting on the Taishi Chair, panting, "Xiao Ze, look at how you've whipped this bitch to a pulp, it's not even fun to play with her anymore!"

Zhang Ze had a vicious smile, "Doesn't father think it's gratifying to grab a handful of blood while toying with her, causing her to scream in pain?"

"Hahaha, your father has never played with a woman like this before!" Zhang Yong laughed heartily.

Fang Qingzhu felt increasingly weak, gritting her teeth, "Xiao Yi won't let you off..."

"Your Xiao Yi is already dead, buried in a deep abyss, unless he becomes a ghost and comes back, he can't save you!" Zhang Ze said boastfully.

"Impossible, Xiao Yi can't be dead!" Fang Qingzhu roared.

"Hehe, I sent Zhang Xiong and Lei Bao to raid and kill Xiao Yi, and Zhang Xiong is an Eighth Layer of Qi Gathering Realm strongman, do you think Xiao Yi stands a chance?" Zhang Ze said.

"Xiao Yi is dead? How can that be..." Fang Qingzhu's face was full of despair.

Zhang Xiong was the leader of the Zhang Family Hunting Team, a master of the Eighth Layer of Qi Gathering Realm.

If he really made a move, Xiao Yi's chances of survival were virtually non-existent.

Zhang Ze's face was smeared with a lecherous smile, his greedy and fervent gaze focused on Fang Qingzhu. As he walked towards her, he said, "Fang Qingzhu, Xiao Yi really cares about you! It's just too bad that he couldn't see for himself, he'll only get to reunite with you down below, then I'll tell him how you were killed by me, hahaha..."

Zhang Ze lunged at Fang Qingzhu.

But just at that moment...

An icy, bloody sword light suddenly appeared, and with a 'pfft', it cut Zhang Ze down, amidst his shrill screams. A cold voice came from behind him simultaneously, "Sorry, I'm late!"
