Meanwhile, as Xie Meiling was torturing her victims, Xie Qing was heading to the main hall.


    "Brother!"


    Behind him, a girlish and sweet cry rang out. He turned around and saw Xie Yu running towards him, apanied by the disciples of the Starry Stream Sect, who looked at him with admiration and blushed, turning away.


    "Xie Yu," the young man smiled and caught this excited girl who jumped into his arms and buried herself in his chest, rubbing her head againsthim,while her gentle hands clung to his back.


    Today,the girl was dressedbeautifully and magnificently. She was wearing a light blue one-piece dress with a chest cutout.The cor was sewnwith golden patterns. The skirt hem covered her buttocks.


    The girl did not skimp on her white stockings, which hada lotus flower pattern.Xie Yu wore blue high-heeled shoes with an ankle strap.


    ***


    Xie Qing ordered to gather everyone in the main hall of the estate. Everyone without exception - from the lowest ves to direct members of the Xie family, including children, infants, and the elderly.


    The only ones ignored were seriously ill people.


    And so, in the mainhallgathered all the remaining members of the Xie family, including servants and ves.


    Their total number was exactly 53 people. Initially,therewere 151 people in the family, of whom 51 were direct members of the Xie family.


    Unfortunately...perhaps even fortunately,their number had been reduced. Too many people were involved in that fateful night.


    Although it was wasteful to kill so many people, Xie Qing did not know mercy when it came to his enmity. Moreover, he had sworn a Heavenly Oath,which further strengthenedhis resolve.


    Speaking of the oath, when he finally fulfilled his promise, the strange pressure disappeared.


    And so, as he pondered...


    Ding!


    [The task "Capture the Xie family" has beenpleted. Receive rewards?]


    [Yes] | [No]


    "Oh, that''s right," Xie Qing raised his eyebrows: "Reward. There was such a thing, wasn''t there? I''ve already forgotten."


    Although he was a little excited, the young man knew that first, he needed to deal with this crowd, who were kneeling in fear, waiting for his words.


    And so, putting aside the system screen, he looked at this crowd.


    15direct members of the Xie family were kneeling, their faces filled with horror. The remaining 38 were servants and ves who had no rtion to that fateful night.


    All the guilty had been killed.The path had been cleared, allthat remained was to hang a new g on the ruins and begin repairs.


    "..."


    As Xie Qing said nothing, the servants became frightened and nervous. Even the most steadfast member of the Xie family could not help but sweat from nervousness.


    And so...


    "I don''t think I need an introduction. I don''t like to talk too much, so I''ll say right away - the Xie family is now in my possession," the young man began to speak and propped his chin with his hand, looking uninterestedly at the servants who were afraid to raise their eyes. He narrowed his eyes: "Soon, a person wille here who will help me govern.


    And if I hear that you are interfering with the work, I will kill you and your entire family to the fifth generation. Do you understand?"


    "Y-yes!"


    "Yes, master!"


    Xie Qing snorted and stood up from his ce, although in histhoughtshe admired how cool he looked.


    However, constantly intimidating was not beneficial for the long-term development of the family. Therefore, he said that forgoodachievements, one could receive a reward and even gain the status of a legitimate member of the Xie family.


    Thisslightly cheeredupthe crowd, who were d ofthis,but were afraid to make too much noise.


    ***


    "He is an amazing cultivator. He must be one of the best geniuses of the righteous path. That attack was so amazing," the demon muttered, narrowing his eyes: "And this technique... Damned Sword. I must say, I didn''t expect to see the legacy of the Empress of Swords with my own eyes. When I fought in the war against the righteous path, she didn''t even pay attention to this war.


    Now I understand why."


    For everyone else who couldn''t keep up with Xie Qing''s movements, it might seem that hesimplyattacked quickly and sliced the opponent into cubes.


    However, this was very far from the truth.


    "Sword Aura... he was able to make it hidden, and then controlling more than a hundred swords in an instant, he cut all the opponents into pieces. And all this while just standing in ce. An amazing sword technique..."


    Even he, who had renounced his human nature and be a demon, awakening his bloodline, could not help but shiver at the power of this technique.


    Althoughwith his power,he could block this attack, the young man from the righteous path had his whole life ahead of him and could improve his techniques, and then even with all his desire, it would not be sweet for the devilish cultivators.


    "Huhuhu... Jia, are you afraid of this guy?" a loud and vileugh rang out. It was the devilish cultivator Jia Bian.


    The demon was called Jia. He turned to his partner and snorted.


    "Of course not. I''m afraid of the power that stands behindhim. I still don''t understand why Hao Shen and Ma Lu decided to act. They even set traps that would harm the reputation of the righteous cultivators," Jia muttered and cracked his neck, looking at the Xie family estate, which was surprisingly very quiet: "Strange. A second ago, I heard that it was still noisy there. You think sotoo, Jia Bian?"


    Jia snorted and looked intently at theestate,but then puzzledly raised his eyebrows when his partner did not answer.


    "Jia Bian?" he repeated, and his eyes suddenly widened.


    Swoosh!


    A sharp gust of wind passed by Jia''s cheek, forcing him to fall to his knees and helplessly roll to the side. He was stunned.


    "Tsk. To think that a worm dared to resist," a female voice rang out, filled with mockery.


    "Y-you... it''s you..."


    The demon was very frightened, clearly recognizing the owner of the voice. In front of him stood a woman in an elegant pink hanfu with phoenix patterns. Her hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were like a sea of calm.


    "You are... X-Xu Mei!"


    Jia felt his heart sink. He got up and released his Qi cultivator at Divine Transformation.


    The ground beneath them began to crack, but when the cracks approached the mountain ledge, they suddenly stopped.


    "Barrier! Damn, I''m trapped!" the demon panicked and looked at the woman in front of him, who drew her sword. His eyes narrowed, and his body ignited, disappearing.


    His movements were fast, and his trail was hidden by aspecialtechnique.He moved so fast that an ordinary viewer wouldn''t even see him in the air. However, Xu Mei didn''t even bother to look at him.


    "Hmph!"


    BOOM!


    A single snort hadan amazingeffect. Jia''s body was cut in half, leaving the demon shocked and frightened.


    "Y-you... your power has grown! Monster!" he shouted, and the two halves of his body beganto slowly heal, merging into one: "Monster!"


    "Oh?Thisis the famous demon regeneration? Thest time a demonwas seenwas a hundred million years ago, whowould have thought that you would inherit their bloodline," Xu Mei said in surprise, not paying attention to Jia''s fear: "But don''t be too proud. Your stupid regeneration is not what can withstand my de. Pfff!"


    Xu Mei snorted, and Jia''s bodywas once again cutin half. She didn''t have to attack again, as the Sword Aura inside him had already taken deep root andeasilyinflicted new wounds.


    "AAAAAAAA!"


    Even the most powerful demon regeneration was not perfect. In a sense, it even became a curse for the poor demon, whowas forcedto endure horrific pain.


    His body was torn apart and healed. Whether it was the first or the second - these actions brought too much pain, and itwasdifficultto maintain reason.


    His spirit began to weaken, and even if his soul was powerful, it was not easy to withstand Xu Mei''s Sword Aura! Her Sword Aura could destroy even the soul!


    And the realization of this fact made Jia panic. Initially, he nned to secretly test the new development, which could increase power and turn a righteous cultivator into a devilish one.


    Butsuddenlyhe met a cultivator who was too sensitive, who discovered him and, it seemed, summoned Xu Mei!


    Xu Mei narrowed her eyes.


    "It seems that you are not in the mood for conversation. But don''t worry, Iam a fair person," Xu Mei began to speak and proudly smiled: "I just bought an interesting artifact... they say it helps to extract all the information from the soul, but then the victim''s soul bursts and loses the chance for reincarnation!"


    "AAAAAAAA!"


    ...Of course, Jia was not particrly pleased. But who asked him?


    ***


    "I have studied his soul and found some information. It seems that two scumbags have decided to show themselves again," Xu Mei reported, lookingserious.


    In the room wereFang Lan, Xie Yu, and Xie Meiling, including Xie Qing.The girls looked expressionlessly at Xu Mei.


    The reason was simple...she was sitting on Xie Qing''sp,who wascasually smiling and stroking her stomach (this was a kind of request from the woman).


    If Fang Lan and Xie Yu were shocked that there were SUCH rtions between these two, then Xie Meiling was simply jealous.


    It was moreplicated with her - she could not allow herself to be intimate whenthere were too many peoplearound.In other words, she was shy.


    And Xu Mei? I think it''s clear from the fact that Xie Qing is a self-satisfied and carefree guy who does what he wants thatit was she whoinstilled these qualities in him.


    The woman casually told about what she hadlearned,whilenot forgetting to kiss her lover and rub against him, kissing him on the cheek.


    And what about Xie Qing? He was only too happy. However, the news he heard made him worry.


    "The two mentioned people are the leaders of the remaining devilish sects. They pose a danger, and it seems that these people have found a way to break free from the control of the Sect of the Resting Eagle."


    Xie Meiling, who was boiling with jealousy, asked a question:


    "And what about the Sect of the Resting Eagle? They can quite fairlybe usedof failing to do their job."


    "In half an hour, a meeting of the four great sects hasbeen scheduled, so I came to see my disciple and at the same time attend the meeting," Xu Mei said with a smile and teased her lover by wiggling her butt on his sensitive spot, and then added: "Lian Lin is also with me, but she decided to go straight to the meeting ce."


    Xie Qing rolled his eyes. This older sister didn''t want to run intohim,because she owed him for the techniques he brought from the Ancestral Cave.


    "I came up with something..." a sly smile appeared on the young man''s face.
