Chapter 1034: Chapter 1034: Reaping What One Sows

The characters "Ancestral Love for Offspring" have disappeared from the plaque.

The moonlight from Mao Lulu in the sky was also obscured by thick dark clouds.

Nothing was visible, the world plunged into pitch black, only the wind could be heard by the ears.

Miaoqiu’s heart began to race, she understood it was not the moonlight being blocked by clouds, but their eyes being covered.

Xu Nanhai’s fox-like eyes exuded weirdness everywhere.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and upon careful sniffing, one could smell a faint scent of blood mixed in the wind, emanating from Xu Nanhai!

She has arrived!

But where is she? She’s not visible at all!

Smack!

A remarkably clear slap sounded, striking Miaoqiu’s delicate face, leaving a conspicuous handprint due to the heavy force.

"Little girl, with such little skill, dare you to shout in front of me? As your elder, I’ll teach you a lesson today!"

Xu Nanhai’s voice was icy cold, her left hand reached out to grip Miaoqiu’s throat, and with the slightest exertion, she could immediately end Miaoqiu, causing the little vixen spirit to perish.

"Nanhai! What are you doing? She’s one of the Xu family!" Xu Beishan shouted angrily, though unable to see the surroundings, he was certain Miaoqiu was in mortal danger.

"Someone from the Xu family? Brother, isn’t that insincere? After Xu Shaohui fell ill, didn’t you want to become the patriarch of the Xu family? What does his daughter mean to you?" Xu Nanhai sneered coldly, "If you help me protect the law today, once I acquire the Charming Bone, I’ll assist you in becoming the true patriarch. Then not only the Xu family but even the other eleven families will be ours!"

Xu Beishan was stunned, his clenched fist suddenly relaxed.

Everyone has ambition, Xu Beishan even more so! But hearing Xu Nanhai’s words, his heart boiled with hot blood, as if he had already seen the scene.

"Uncle... don’t believe her, she, she can’t... succeed, Lin..."

Miaoqiu’s throat was being strangled, speaking was incredibly difficult and broke off, as Xu Nanhai applied more force, nearly squeezing her swan-like neck until it broke.

"Do you really think I dare not kill you?" Xu Nanhai’s voice was as cold as an ice cellar; her murderous intent arose!

Xu Beishan finally snapped out of it, realizing he had just been ensnared by Xu Nanhai.

Even without discussing whether the Charming Bone would fall to her, even if successful, the two Golden Core masters outside the ancestral hall wouldn’t spare her!

Bang!

Suddenly, the ancestral hall’s door behind Xu Beishan was kicked open, and two extremely blurred shadows flashed by.

This change suddenly scared Xu Nanhai, she turned to look but saw nothing.

"Lin Tian, don’t kill her!" Xu Beishan shouted.

Before his words could fall, the Miaoqiu clutched by Xu Nanhai’s left hand was suddenly snatched away.

As for who snatched her away, it all happened too quickly for Xu Nanhai to see clearly.

"Hah!"

A deafening roar sounded beside Xu Nanhai’s ear, directly causing Xu Nanhai to become mentally dazed, nearly shattering her eardrums.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Lin Tian held Miaoqiu in his arms with one hand, while grabbing Xu Nanhai’s collar with the other, lifting his right knee for three consecutive strikes, like a comet crashing into Xu Nanhai’s abdomen.

Each knee strike increased in power. After three, Xu Nanhai felt her insides churn, pain causing her eyes to roll back, sweat beading on her forehead, leaving her unable to muster any strength.

Even now, Xu Nanhai hadn’t seen the opponent’s face! Nor did she know who they were! It happened... so quickly!

But she knew this person definitely wasn’t from the Xu family, but an outsider!

Smack...

Lin Tian loosened his grip, causing Xu Nanhai to fall to the ground like a dead dog.

"For now, I’ll spare you." Lin Tian looked down at Xu Nanhai; his icy cold tone filled with intense murderous intent!

"Ugh... Puh..." Xu Nanhai opened her mouth, groaned, then vomited a puddle of blood.

At this moment, her old face contorted in excruciating pain, yet she still turned her face with that unyielding expression to look at Lin Tian.

Aside from Mao Lulu’s moonlight, it remained pitch black around, but Lin Tian saw two flame-like pupils, breathtakingly beautiful!

Lin Tian did not linger on the scene, closing his eyes, he circulated Spiritual Qi to expel unnecessary distractions from his mind.

Then, he pivoted his foot backward before kicking out swiftly, like kicking a soccer ball, directly hitting Xu Nanhai’s head.

Thud~

Xu Nanhai’s body scraped harshly against the ground until finally stopping against a pillar.

Covered in blood, her right cheek’s jaw bone dislocated, hair disheveled, appearing scarcely human. Even in such darkness, she resembled nothing more than a stray spirit.

The other shadow that rushed in with Lin Tian was none other than the grand elder, yet he hadn’t made a move from start to finish, having had no opportunity.

Seeing Lin Tian, the elder couldn’t help but admire his increasingly powerful skills!

"Lin Tian, did you kill her?!" Xu Beishan angrily glared at Lin Tian, though stopping short of acting out, given this was the Xu family’s ancestral hall!

Even with such a grave mistake, outsiders should refrain from interfering.

But truly realizing Lin Tian’s strength, Xu Nanhai dared only question, not believing she’d be beaten so terribly.

"No," Lin Tian replied indifferently, "She’s not a normal person; tough enough to endure, far from dead yet, could be beaten again."

"..."

Ultimately, Xu Beishan said nothing more, as Nanhai’s plight was self-inflicted, being left alive was fortunate.

"Nanqiu!" Lin Tian called softly.

"Here!" Nanqiu replied gently.

"Keep an eye on that old woman, don’t let her escape, run a step, cut off a foot!" Lin Tian’s tone was icy cold, like bone-chilling ice crystals.

"Yes." Nanqiu responded sparingly, drawing a bright blade from her waist, her body agile as a cat, leaping beside Xu Nanhai.

Honestly, no need to watch her, as the old woman was in a mental haze, incapable of fleeing.

Lin Tian tenderly touched Miaoqiu’s delicate face, her skin smooth as jade, but the scarlet handprint was painfully conspicuous.

"Does it hurt?" Lin Tian whispered, "I’ll rub it for you tonight when we get back, and it’ll be fine."

Initially, Miaoqiu only felt searing pain, but hearing Lin Tian’s words, her heart turned sour with grievance.

She hugged Lin Tian tightly, longing to meld this man into herself.

"It hurts~!" Miaoqiu nestled against Lin Tian’s shoulder, breathing in his familiar scent, feeling truly happy.
