Only My Way

"How much longer?"

The speaker was an old man dressed in a luxurious cyan robe.

He was maintaining a state of closed-eyed rest, sitting silently in the middle of the carriage.

Judging from his outward appearance.

He was probably around sixty years old.

Of course, as a cultivator, his actual age would definitely be more than that.

Following his question.

Beside him, a mature woman dressed in rather noble attire looked at the clock in the carriage and immediately replied:

"Master, we should arrive at 【Blackstone City】 in about four hours."

In the end.

As his wife.

She sighed with a hint of helplessness:

"This trip of ours is truly a bit of a long journey..."

"I'm getting tired of sitting in the carriage."

Hearing this.

The old man, with his eyes closed, could only softly comfort her:

"Ah~ This is a major event jointly decided by the three great families of 【Blackstone City】, and the matter is mainly led by the Miao family. As a family elder of the Miao family sent out, I definitely have to rush back no matter what."

"Otherwise."

"Others will inevitably look down on me a bit and gossip behind my back, discussing how I couldn't even make it to such an important occasion, implying that I don't have much say within the family..."

"Although those rumors can't do anything to me, they will still make me lose face..."

Hearing these words.

The noblewoman immediately muttered with some disdain:

"Hmph~ How are those guys worthy?"

"Back then, if you hadn't been willing to risk your life, your Miao family would have had to lose at least two more 【Qi Nurturing Realm】 cultivators when exterminating the Pei family!"

"Why would they dare say that about you?"

"You know, you spent a full two years just recovering from your injuries, and even now, you still have some lingering ailments..."

In her words.

The woman also had a sense of heartache.

Towards the end, she couldn't help but curse:

"Those damn dogs, they really have no conscience..."

Listening to his wife's angry scolding.

The old man felt even more helpless from the bottom of his heart.

After all, he knew very well that she was actually speaking up for him.

"Sigh... forget it, let's not mention those things."

After letting out a long sigh.

He could only slowly explain:

"It was very necessary for our Miao family to join hands with the Zhu and Huang families to exterminate the Pei family back then."

"That Pei Zhizong truly had the potential to greatly prosper the Pei family, and the younger generation of the Pei family had also produced talents in large numbers in those few years."

"If we hadn't acted in advance, even if the Pei family didn't take action against us in the future, our good days would have probably come to an end."

"Therefore, for the sake of the family, I had to risk my life."

"All threats must be nipped in the bud!!"

Although he had encountered some unfair treatment.

At this moment, the old man's words were still filled with unwavering emotions!

Compared to the various favorable conditions that the family had provided him by raising him.

The slight unfair treatment he had faced before was nothing at all.

At most, it was just a few minor contradictions.

Such things were inherently unavoidable problems between various large families.

As long as it wasn't too excessive, it didn't matter.

Right now.

After saying those words.

The old man also slowly opened his eyes, and gently comforted his wife:

"The reason why I'm returning to 【Blackstone City】 this time."

"Besides attending the joint meeting between the three families."

"Part of the reason is also to visit my cousin."

"Unlike me, a mediocre person, my cousin is much more outstanding."

"In that battle a few years ago, although Pei Zhizong's desperate counterattack injured him severely, it also allowed his strength to take a step further between life and death."

"Now, he should be not far from the unattainable 【Spirit Nurturing Realm】, and he may be able to successfully reach that step in the near future."

"When that time comes!"

"Our entire Miao family will immediately soar, truly becoming the real master of the entire 【Blackstone City】!!"

"To this end, although the relationship between the two of us is already quite good, it's better for our couple to take advantage of the present time to communicate with him more!!"

"When I came this time, I directly obtained a priceless Dragon Blood Ginseng."

"Presumably, that thing should make him feel satisfied..."

The next moment.

Just as the old man was still satisfied with his own thoughts.

A strange voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Don't worry."

"If he's really not satisfied, you can completely say a few more good words to him underground."

"Of course."

"In this regard, you definitely have to take a step first and wait for him underground..."

The latest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

At this moment.

Faced with the sudden voice that rang out from behind him without any warning.

The old man didn't hesitate at all and immediately wanted to turn his head!

And also tried to guard against any attacks that might occur!!

It's just that.

What puzzled him was that no matter how he tried to control his body, his body didn't react at all.

This immediately shocked him to the extreme!!

Moreover.

Soon, he realized that throughout the entire process, his beloved wife had no reaction for some reason.

In an instant.

His gaze couldn't help but look towards the direction where his wife was.

Looking out.

His wife was still sitting beside him.

Whether it was the posture of her body or the expression on her face, everything was exactly the same as before.

Only on her fair neck, there was a red line that was becoming more and more obvious…

The old man stared at everything with his eyes wide open, and the anger in his heart immediately reached its peak:

"You…"

But it was also at this moment.

He finally felt a sweet and fishy taste coming from his mouth.

At the same time.

In an irresistible feeling of drowsiness.

He felt a hand gently grab his head.

And the voice from before also spoke again:

"…This silent assassination swordsmanship is indeed quite useful…"

"It's just that I cut a little too fast just now, you didn't even realize that you were already dead until now…"

After complaining.

As the owner of that voice.

Ling Wuyuan casually picked up the old man's head, which had long been cut off but still retained some consciousness:

"Your wife is already waiting for you below."

"Of course, I'll borrow your head for a while, just to bring it to 【Blackstone City】 as a courtesy gift…"

He spoke to himself.

While putting the other party's head into a wooden box that looked extremely expensive.

And that box.

Was exactly what the old man used to hold the Dragon Blood Ginseng.

Unlike the other party's wife, whose strength could only be described as a deformed melon, if the old man hadn't been resting with his eyes closed before, Ling Wuyuan wouldn't have been able to walk into the carriage openly in front of a 【Qi Nurturing Realm cultivator】.

That way, it would be a bit too disrespectful~

But unfortunately, the other party was closing his eyes to rest at the time.

The timing can be said to be just right~

So good that Ling Wuyuan couldn't refuse at all~

So, using some kind of assassination footwork suitable for assassination.

Ling Wuyuan directly walked in swaggeringly.

Not only did he slowly search the carriage, but he also listened to the conversation between the couple, and roughly understood the truth about the Pei family's demise back then.

There's nothing special or hidden, a very ordinary truth.

However.

That kind of thing is already irrelevant.

Ling Wuyuan didn't come to figure out whether the problem was right or wrong, and he didn't come to investigate the truth, he simply came to kill people and exterminate the clan!!!!
