After devouring the heart of his kin, Tang Qingshan let out a sinister laugh:

"Hehehe! Since I can't hide it anymore, there's no need to pretend!"

Originally, Tang Liu had planned that if Tang Qingshan refused to admit it, he would make him swear on his Dao heart. Unexpectedly, Tang Qingshan didn't even bother to put on an act!

At the same time, the spiritual power within Tang Qingshan's body began to surge wildly!

In just a few breaths, Tang Qingshan's aura had already reached the Spirit Spring Stage Peak!

The highest level of the Mortal Rank, just a step away from the Spirit Rank!

Tang Qingshan's gaze was profound as he stared at Tang Liu's entire right arm and slowly asked:

"Hehe! Tang Liu, do you know what happened to your father's body?"

Hearing this, Tang Liu's mind, after a brief thought, was immediately filled with endless rage!

Seeing Tang Liu's expression, Tang Qingshan continued to smile and said, "Have you figured it out?"

"That's right, you guessed it!"

"Your father was eaten by me!"

"His heart, his arm, and his thigh..."

Tang Liu erupted completely!

"Tang Qingshan! Fuck you!"

He charged straight at Tang Qingshan with a harpoon in hand!

Tang Qingshan was extremely pleased!

Hahaha!

Tang Liu, you finally got angry!

If you don't rush at me, how can I capture you?

How can I eat your flesh and drink your blood?

And how can I achieve the emperor's throne?

Tang Qingshan's robes fluttered, and his aura surged once again, as if he was about to break through to the Mystic Core Stage!

His palm suddenly reached out to grab Tang Liu!

Seeing the situation turning dire, Lin Xuan acted before Yu Jian!

Lin Xuan understood in her heart that although Yu Jian's combat power was strong, he might not necessarily be a match for Tang Qingshan!

Yu Jian's combat experience was too limited!

Lin Xuan wasn't familiar with Tang Liu, having only met him once, but Tang Liu was, after all, her nominal junior brother.

Letting her junior brother die without helping was not the character of this Half-Emperor!

Lin Xuan brought her index and middle fingers together, softly recited an incantation, and a woman's figure appeared behind her!

That woman, like an emperor, swept her gaze over everyone with a commanding presence, finally resting her eyes on Tang Qingshan.

Immediately, Tang Qingshan seemed to be attacked by some force and was sent flying backward!

"Poof!"

In mid-air, Tang Qingshan spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering internal injuries!

Tang Liu was forcibly dragged back to the entrance of the Lingxiao Sect by Yu Jian.

As for Lin Xuan, after unleashing this attack, she fainted directly!

At the peak of Qi Condensation, she directly inflicted internal injuries on someone at the Spirit Spring Peak!

She skipped the entire Meridian Opening Stage and Spirit Spring Realm in between!

Who has ever heard of a genius fighting across two major realms?

It's simply outrageous, isn't it?

Not only were the people around shocked, but even Chu Xian, who was watching from the Lingxiao Sect Main Peak, was stunned!

Oh my!

Wasn't this girl supposed to have poor talent? This combat power is ridiculous!

Did I misjudge her?

"Chi Yu, Shangxia, what do you two think?"

The two Great Emperors pondered for a long time but both shook their heads.

Chi Yu said, "Sect Master, Lin Xuan has neither a special physique nor bloodline power, yet she can unleash such an attack. It's indeed strange!"

Shangxia felt the same way, "I also didn't notice anything special about Lin Xuan."

"However, in this vast world, there's nothing too strange. I suppose Lin Xuan has her own secrets."

Chu Xian agreed with this view!

"Yes! Everyone has their own path to walk, and we shouldn't interfere!"

"Alright, it's your turn to take action. Hurry up and resolve the Tang Family's issue so I can go out and recruit disciples for the sect."

Chi Yu gave a slight nod, and Shangxia smiled and nodded in agreement.

Outside the sect, after stabilizing himself, Tang Qingshan's mouth twitched!

He hadn't expected that his Spirit Spring Peak cultivation would be injured by a mere Qi Condensation ant!

Although Tang Qingshan was internally injured, it was relatively minor. Looking at the unconscious Lin Xuan, he muttered to himself:

"Little girl! You've successfully caught my attention!"

Then his figure flickered, rushing towards a nearby Tang family member, and before the person could react, he had already extracted their heart!

"Chomp chomp!"

Tang Qingshan swallowed the heart in a few bites!

Finally!

With a "boom," Tang Qingshan's aura surged dramatically!

"Hahaha! The Profound Core is formed! I am now invinc..."

"Poof!"

Before he could finish speaking, Shangxia's distant finger pierced through the newly formed Profound Core within Tang Qingshan's body!

"No... impossible..."

Feeling the power within him rapidly dissipating, Tang Qingshan panicked!

"What is happening? Why is this happening?"

"Who is it?"

In the next second, Tang Qingshan, controlling the remaining power within him, rushed towards the nearest Tang family member, extracting their heart and sending it into his mouth!

However, this time it brought him no power.

"Impossible..."

"Impossible! How could the Ancestor deceive me?"

In the end, there was no longer any trace of spiritual power within Tang Qingshan, clearly reduced to an ordinary human.

Shangxia's voice came from within the Lingxiao Sect:

"The Sect Master has ordered! All Tang family members are to be dealt with by Tang Liu, and no one else is to interfere!"

Only then did everyone realize that the reason Tang Qingshan had become a cripple was because a cultivator from the Lingxiao Sect had intervened!

Originally, the Tang family had come with more than twenty people, but now, many were dead or injured, and those unharmed were already scared out of their wits!

"Tang Liu... we were blind to have made Tang Qingshan, this beast, the family head. Because of him, we don't know how many crimes we've committed."

"Today, whether you kill or flay us, we have no complaints!"

Tang Liu looked at the corpses of his clan members on the ground, his expression somber.

Kill them all?

Tang Liu couldn't bear it in his heart.

If he let them go, given the nature of these clan members, there might be another Tang Qingshan!

Tang Liu looked up at the sky and softly said, "Father, if it were you, what would you do?"

"Hehe! Father was gentle and sincere with others, he would surely let them go."

"So be it!"

"Today, I let you go, as a repayment for the Tang family's nurturing. From now on, I have nothing to do with any matters of the Tang family!"

With that, Tang Liu's harpoon shot out, piercing through Tang Qingshan's chest!

"But you must die!"

"When you return, hang Tang Qingshan's head on the gates of Biluo City. I want him to never enter the cycle of reincarnation!"

Tang Liu had once heard his father say that humans have three gates: the body, the mind, and the soul.

After death, when all three gates open, the body returns to the earth, the mind to the void, and the soul to the heavens, one can enter the cycle of reincarnation.

The body represents the physical form, with the head being the controller of all bodily actions. As long as the head is not buried in the earth, the person will not enter reincarnation.

The flesh will merge with the earth, and the soul will pass through the soul gate into the temporal rift, eternally suffering the trampling of all beings.

The mind represents willpower, and if a person has an extremely strong will at the time of death, this will can remain in the world, with the soul passing through the soul gate into the temporal rift.

The soul represents the spirit, and those who have cultivated to a certain level of power can have a strong soul, capable of closing the soul gate themselves, allowing the soul to remain in the world.
