I Can Extract Everything - Chapter 156: Lu Qin's Death
“Medicine Valley?” Qin Yi was slightly surprised.
Of course, he knew Medicine Valley.
Medicine Valley does not belong to the Great Sect but is still a huge force.
This sect was located in the Blossoming Range and became one of the most prominent sects there. They were proficient in pill-making and producing pill ingredients. They were also one of the largest suppliers of pill ingredients in the entire Azure Dragon Region.
Medicine Valley was similar to the Yun Clan of Ancient Dragon City in terms of strength and wealth. That’s why they became sworn enemies.
Qin Yi was surprised to hear this sect’s name because his Mystical Garden originally belonged to the remain of Medicine Valley.
However, he was not so sure whether the “Medicine Valley” that came out of Shen Ruxue’s mouth was the same as the “Medicine Valley” that Mystical Garden came from.
After all, according to The Treasures Catalog – The First Floor of the Treasure Pavilion, the Mystical Garden was discovered in the Ruin of Medicine Valley five hundred years ago. However, the “Medicine Valley” that came out of Shen Ruxue’s mouth already existed for eight hundred years.
Qin Yi tilted his head as he asked, “Did Black Water Auction House tell you that I would be here?”
“Black Water Auction House has always been trustworthy. Don’t worry. It’s not them. We know you would be here because we were the private room number 7’s guest three years ago.” Shen Ruxue explained with a reassuring smile.
“That’s very reassuring. I thought Black Water Auction House made a small betrayal of their precious customer. However, I have to advise Manager Lu to change the passages every three years. Seriously, they lack management…” Qin Yi sighed. Then, he looked at the two people in front of him and said, “Do you want to rob something from me?”
Shen Ruxue and Uncle Hu speechlessly looked at each other. After that, Shen Ruxue took a few steps forward and said, “We want to exchange with you.”
“Exchanges?”
“That’s right. We want Soul Nurturing Grass.”
“Soul Nurturing Grass? Wait, are you the competitive woman in room number…whatever, I forgot. Anyway, I know you!” Qi Yi suddenly figured out who this woman was.
Shen Ruxue twitched her mouth and said nothing.
“Soul Nurturing Grass is critical to me. I can’t exchange it with you, at least not now.”
Qin Yi turned around, and Yin Chen nodded and immediately submerged into his master’s shadow.
“Meet me three days later at Dusky Tavern and… don’t forget to bring a rare item with equivalent value!”
He disappeared using Void Jump soon after saying that.
Shen Ruxue dumbfoundedly looked at the spot where the opposite party disappeared.
“That’s… that’s Dao Space… Did we just talk to a Nascent Soul expert?” Shen Ruxue absentmindedly looked at Uncle Hu.
“This servant doesn’t think so. Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn’t speak casually to weak cultivators like us. A little disrespect can offend them and even kill us with a single flick, but this one acted way too casual despite our offensive. This person is probably very proficient at space technique or having an artifact or a bloodline related to space.” Uncle Hu couldn’t believe that that person was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
“Moreover, young miss, don’t you recognize the young man behind that black-cloaked man?”
Shen Ruxue nodded solemnly and guessed, “He is a member of the Shadow House. However, the Shadow House was destroyed, and all the members were annihilated…”
“No, I heard that there are still two survivors, which are the young heir of Shadow House and his elder sister, who ended up in a coma. According to the news, they are taking refuge or trapped in Ancient Dragon City. However, seeing him here can only explain that he fled from Ancient Dragon City and was employed by that black-robed man.” Uncle Hu said.
The Shadow House is one of the largest assassin forces in the Azure Dragon Region; they are considered terror; after all, their shadow bloodline is too fearful. However, they were destroyed overnight.
The news of their destruction received a lot of reactions from various parties. Still, nobody made a move at the survivors because Underworld City is never allowed the outsider to interfere in whatever is happening in their territory.
The details of how Ancient Dragon City could interfere with Underworld City’s affairs are kept hidden, but it is still leaked in the end
“If that young man really the young heir of Shadow House, that black-cloaked man should be in big trouble. Shadow House has many enemies, including the one who destroyed Shadow House and several forces in the Underworld City; They are persistent and ruthless.”
“Nevermind,” Shen Ruxue looked at Uncle Hu with a smile, “It’s not our business who he is and who he is currently with.”
“That’s right.” Uncle Hu nodded in agreement. He was silent for a moment before saying, “Young miss, that person said we could meet him three days later. Maybe we should start to consider what treasure we should exchange with him…”
“You’re right, Uncle Hu. Maybe we should give him Heaven Mending Flower or… some rare seeds.”
“This servant has a seed…”
…
In the middle of the night, a flock of black crows flies one after another, heading in one direction. Their deadly calls can send chills down people’s spines.
Lu Qin walked through the small alley, and for some reason, he had an ominous feeling.
He quickened his footsteps until finally, he arrived at the manor’s entrance.
However, his facial expression changed when he smelled thick blood from within the manor.
He hurriedly enters the manor and starts shouting.
“Xing An…”
“Lu Changyi…”
“Lu Changyou…”
“Lu Changruo…”
“Steward Wu…”
Lu Qin ran through the hallways and never stopped shouting his family’s names.
The more pungent the smell of blood, the more ominous the feeling was until he eventually saw many dead bodies belonging to his servants… his steward… his two sons… and his wife.
“No… no… no, how could this happen? Which bastard dared to do this?!” Lu Qin fell to his knees as tears rolled down his face.
“It’s this young master, but I’m certainly not a bastard.”
Suddenly a young man descent from above along with his other two subordinates.
“… Nether Son, it’s you!” Lu Qin’s eyes were burning with hatred when he saw the person who claimed himself as the culprit behind his family’s termination.
“Why are you doing this?!”
“I told you that you gonna regret your decision.” Nether Son said with a smile.
“You slaughtered my family just because of that?” Lu Qin unbelievably looked at Nether Son.
Nether Son sneered and said, “For your refusal to be precise.”
Lu Qin is even more unbelievable. He had met petty people before, but he had never met someone as petty as this one.
“Nether Son, you moved my family. Black Water Auction House will never let this matter slide! Even if your Underworld Monarch come down, our Black Water City Lord would never compromise!”
Nether Son scoffed, “Just for a mere manager like you?”
“Black Water City Lord is not afraid to kill a core disciple of the Underworld Sect. On the contrary, the Underworld Monarch will prefer to compromise rather than fight with the Black Water City Lord over a single core disciple!”
“You think you’re important? I heard that the Underworld Sect has a lot of core disciples, and you are at the bottom of the list. Your name isn’t even on the Golden Generation List. That’s why the Underworld Sect would rather lose you and save some resources than break up with a big company like the Black Water Auction House. You’re a useless waste that one day dies as nobody hahaha…” Lu Qin mescilessly said along with a hysterical laugh.
Apparently, every sentence Lu Qin uttered smashed against Nether Son’s restless heart that he could not refute.
“Haha, Nether Son, you made the wrong move! You definitely made the wrong move.”
Nether Son was furious as his arrogant expression turned cold; his expression couldn’t be even colder than the ice block from the Extreme North.
“Manager Lu, if you tell us who took the mysterious stone from the auction this afternoon, maybe we will spare your life.” The dignified middle-aged man behind Nether Son stared deeply at Lu Qin.
Lu Qin said in a sarcastic tone, “Funny, you all slaughter my entire family, yet you still expect precious information from my mouth? Screw you all!”
“You left me no choice. Elder Gu, do some soul-searching on him!” Nether Son said to the dignified middle-aged man.
Elder Gu hesitantly said, “Nether Son, soul-searching will kill him. He is the manager of the Black Water Auction House…”
Killing Lu Qin’s family is one thing, but killing Lu Qin…
“Dead won’t speak, and make sure there are no witnesses here.” Nether Son said.
“Hahaha, you want to soul-searching me? Dream on!”
Lu Qin knew that he had no room to fight back or escape. If he fought the Nether Son alone, he might have a chance to buy some time and find an opportunity to escape. However, he couldn’t do anything with two Golden Core subordinates behind Nether Son.
He would either be dead or captured and tortured.
‘There is no room for hesitation.’
Right after thinking that, Lu Qin made up his mind as a massive amount of spiritual energy rapidly gathers at his core, causing Nether Son and his other subordinates to change their expression.
“He’s going to explode his core. Nether Son, let’s go!” Elder Gu hurriedly pulled Nether Son away.
In the brief of urgency, Nether Son took out a talisman and was about to crush it.
However, the explosion suddenly broke out; it was loud and engulfed the entire manor.
