Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 183 - 137: Vital Intelligence, Mystery of Origins, the Death of Liuu Qingyun
"My wife truly cares for me. If it weren’t for her bridging relations, how could our Liuu Family have the great opportunity to rise to a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Clan? My dear, rest assured, once we reach the fief in Yunshan County, you’ll become the second-in-command of our Liuu Family. I will surely not let you suffer any grievances."
"Husband, you must keep your word."
"I would willingly die for you, my dear. How could I bear to deceive you?"
"Smooth talk..."
The two lingered in affection for a while longer.
Only then did Ping Wanning rise and say:
"Husband, I will go to the Jade Spring in the backyard for a wash, you rest first."
"Alright."
Liuu Qingyun, who had been toiling for a long time, was also utterly exhausted.
But because he was to go to Wanning Marketplace at dawn, he was too excited to sleep.
He mentally reviewed the recent events.
He had visited the Shangguan Family multiple times. Though they weren’t as dismissive as before and treated him with some courtesy, they never mentioned anything about the Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family status.
Evidently.
The Shangguan Family never considered supporting their Liuu Family.
In that case.
It’s understandable to seek better opportunities.
Liuu Qingyun snorted coldly in his heart.
Once their Liuu Family acquired a fief, with the Ping Family’s assistance, becoming Ninth Grade would only take a few years.
By that time.
Even with the protection of Shangguan Feng.
Crushing Fu Changsheng, that beast, would be as easy as squashing an ant.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
Liuu Qingyun couldn’t sleep. He got up from the bed immediately, not bothering to dress, quickly walked over, and embraced Ping Wanning, who was about to open the array, laughingly saying:
"My dear, let’s have a mandarin duck bath together!"
As he spoke.
A technique was cast onto the array.
The array’s light curtain swiftly opened.
At this moment.
A surge of life and death crisis struck his heart. Liuu Qingyun didn’t think twice and immediately flung Ping Wanning out of his arms into the air.
Bang!!
But a beam of intense light shot in from outside the door.
Ping Wanning, at only the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation, didn’t even have time to activate her protective light shield and was instantly blasted into scattered pieces of flesh.
The intense light, unwavering, aimed directly at Liuu Qingyun’s forehead.
Thanks to the moment afforded by Ping Wanning.
A Yellow Luo Umbrella appeared in Liuu Qingyun’s hand instantly.
"Bang!"
The intense light struck the Yellow Luo Umbrella.
The Yellow Luo Umbrella shattered in response.
Liuu Qingyun’s body flickered, narrowly avoiding the intense light.
At the same time.
"Screech!"
A Silver-winged Snow Eagle followed closely behind the intense light, its claws flashing like lightning, slashing down toward Liuu Qingyun’s face.
"Bang!"
At the critical moment.
Liuu Qingyun called upon his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, the Heaven-Shocking Hammer. With overwhelming momentum, he swung it towards the Silver-winged Snow Eagle.
The manifested Silver-winged Snow Eagle shattered with a sound.
But that wasn’t all.
Liuu Qingyun wielded the Heaven-Shocking Hammer with such vigor that shadows of it densely surrounded him, providing comprehensive protection.
As he completed this magic.
An assault followed immediately.
Thousands of Sword Qis howled in from outside the courtyard.
Clang clang clang!
The myriad Sword Qis clashed with the shadows of the Heaven-Shocking Hammer, sparks flying.
But for the time being, the Sword Qis struggled to breach the Heaven-Shocking Hammer’s defense.
Scanning around with his Divine Sense, Liuu Qingyun couldn’t locate the attacker. Being able to launch an assault from forty zhang away indicated the opponent was already a Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator:
"Can’t win!"
Making a split-second decision, Liuu Qingyun immediately clasped his hands in a technique, intending to deploy a secret technique for escape when.
A familiar figure stepped out from beyond the courtyard:
"Fu Changsheng?!"
This....
How is it possible?!
Wasn’t Fu Changsheng only at Peak Qi Cultivation? How could he have broken into the Foundation Establishment Stage in just a few years, and where did he get the Foundation Establishment Pill?!
Even if he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
His current strength couldn’t possibly be at the Fourth Layer of the Foundation Establishment!
Yet the young man walking towards him was unmistakably Fu Changsheng.
In a flash.
He finally understood why the Shangguan Family hadn’t informed him about the Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family status. It was because this brat Fu Changsheng had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage:
"Fu Changsheng, just you wait for me!"
No matter what method Fu Changsheng used to reach this level.
At present.
He couldn’t win:
"Escape!!"
Then Liuu Qingyun once more clasped his hands for a technique.
But.
In that moment of hesitation.
Fu Changsheng’s hand activated the Primordial Alms Bowl once more.
Bang!
A Three-Colored Extreme Light burst forth, like lightning, shooting towards him at incredible speed.
Bam bam bam!!
The seemingly impregnable shadow of the Heaven-Shocking Hammer.
Shattered like paper the instant it met the Three-Colored Extreme Light.
As Liuu Qingyun hurriedly clasped a Flowing Light Talisman to himself and shifted his body slightly to the right at a peculiar angle.
Bang!
The Flowing Light Talisman disintegrated.
The extreme light pierced through his left arm!
Bam!
His left arm shattered in response.
At this moment, Liuu Qingyun had completed the Blood Escape Technique with his right hand, a flash of blood light enveloped him, glaring fiercely at Fu Changsheng: "Brat, just you wait for me!"
The blood light covered him.
He was about to disappear into the ground.
However.
At that moment.
A purple divine light, following close behind the Three-Colored Extreme Light, came rushing in, unnoticed by Liuu Qingyun due to the Three-Colored Divine Light’s cover. By the time he realized something was amiss, the Purple Qi Divine Light was already at his brow!
Bang!!
The divine light pierced through his mind.
Liuu Qingyun’s eyes widened, as he collapsed to the ground.
As the last trace of vitality extinguished in his eyes.
His mind held only one thought:
"Eleven years ago, when Fu Changsheng was only at the Qi Cultivation Second Layer and came seeking help, he shouldn’t have listened to that wretch Liuu Meizhen’s slanders and spared Fu Changsheng, that brat. The moment Fu Changsheng stepped into their Liuu Family’s gates back then, he should have chopped down that brat with one stroke!"
Or rather.
When the Fu Family received favor from the Shangguan Family.
He should have sought an alternative path sooner.
Instead of waiting for the Ping Family to approach and dithering for so long before agreeing to affiliate with the Ping Family.
Regret!
Resentment!!
Come morning, he was supposed to ascend as the Patriarch of a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family and completely rewrite the Liuu Family’s fate!
His ancestor started off as just a Horse Slave.
Today.
It seems it completely perished at his hands.
How would he face his forefathers down in the underworld now!!
With boundless regret and dissatisfaction.
Liuu Qingyun’s last glimmer of life in his eyes vanished completely.
