Chapter 66 Three Marriage Contracts
Chapter 66 Three Marriage Contracts
What did you do?
Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath and looked at Shen Yan, who looked as if she had been pulled out of the water, with a cold smile.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiuyuan immediately activated the Soul-Capturing Technique once again.
"You, you stop..."
Shen Yan, who was slumped on the ground, suddenly felt that dizzy feeling return, and she immediately spoke up.
"Um, stop! Why don't you just tell me directly!"
As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan withdrew his true energy, then looked at Shen Yan, who was trembling uncontrollably, and asked:
"Tell me in detail about the three marriage contracts you found about me."
What?
Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, Shen Yan's eyes widened instantly, and she suddenly became completely certain that her soul had just been controlled by Li Xiuyuan.
"Such methods... just how many secrets does Li Xiuyuan still possess? It's truly terrifying."
Thinking of this, Shen Yan couldn't help but suddenly look up, her eyes filled with a complex expression as she looked at the handsome young face in front of her, who was smiling and even looked a little naive.
"Looks like we should just go straight for the kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiuyuan didn't even wait for Shen Yan to speak before using the Soul-Seizing Technique again.
Having just used it for the first time, Li Xiuyuan felt that the Soul-Capturing Technique was really quite good.
They can't wait to use it again!
The extremely mysterious spiritual fluctuations in his eyes pierced directly into Shen Yan's eyes.
Suddenly, the expression on Shen Yan's face completely disappeared, replaced by a blank and wooden look.
"Tell me, what's the story behind the three marriage contracts you found on me?"
"The three potential marriage partners are Lin Wanqing, the top genius of the Lin family in Yunzhou City; Nangong Linglong, the prodigy of the Nangong family in Youzhou; and Ye Zhiyao, the ninth princess of the Dali Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin, who was standing there, couldn't help but tremble.
He quickly covered his ears and cautiously looked at Li Xiuyuan not far away, wondering if he could hear these things.
Not to mention the other members of the Shen family, who all immediately covered their ears, unable to bear listening.
Li Xiuyuan was equally shocked.
The ninth princess of the Great Li Dynasty is actually engaged to me...
Li Xiuyuan really wanted to know if his mother, Shangguan Xiuhong, was really that powerful.
Li Xiuyuan immediately stepped forward, grabbed Shen Yan, whom he was controlling, and headed towards the nearest room.
"All of you stay right where you are! Anyone who dares to move is dead!"
The door slammed shut with a loud bang.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin shuddered and immediately stood up straight.
He also glanced at the other members of the Shen family, some kneeling on the ground and others squatting on the ground.
Shen Lin stood there, feeling incredibly miserable, but his heart was also churning with a raging storm.
Putting aside other things, the two techniques, "Frostbite Technique" and "Soul-Capturing Technique," both originated from him, and only a few hours had passed since Li Xiuyuan used them.
Especially the Soul-Capturing Technique.
Shen Lin was already amazed when he first used it, but he just used it again.
Just who exactly is Li Xiuyuan?
Such an incredible cultivation speed was something he had never seen or even heard of before.
Before tonight, although he had been rendered a cripple by Li Xiuyuan's draining of his cultivation, he had always been thinking about how to take revenge.
After all, Li Xiuyuan killed his son and destroyed the Shen family in Yunzhou City!
Even when Shen Yan unleashed that terrifying life-saving sword energy, he prayed countless times in his heart to kill Li Xiuyuan!
But at this moment!
Standing there, Shen Lin had no desire for revenge whatsoever; he only wanted Li Xiuyuan to leave the Shen family as soon as possible.
Even if Li Xiuyuan took away all of the Shen family's wealth and cultivation resources, he would be willing to give them up!
On the other side...
in the room.
Li Xiuyuan listened as Shen Yan, standing in front of him, "obediently" recounted all the information about the three of them.
One can't help but admire the Shadow Pavilion; the information they possess is truly comprehensive.
What he never expected was that among his three betrothed partners, the Ninth Princess was actually the one who was the most secretive.
She was a martial arts prodigy from a young age, but she always kept it hidden, and even the Shadow Pavilion could not determine her exact cultivation level.
The other two are both at the peak of the fifth rank.
He was just one step away from reaching the fourth rank and becoming a martial arts master.
"What do you know about Shangguan Xiuhong?"
"Shangguan Xiuhong was one of the few true geniuses in the Dali Dynasty. However, she was like a flash in the pan, disappearing mysteriously more than ten years ago and there has been no news of her since."
I investigated before, but found that I didn't have permission to view much of Shangguan Xiuhong's information in the Shadow Pavilion.
Ok?
"Don't you have permission to view?"
"Yes, our Shadow Pavilion headquarters has a huge intelligence building that stores a lot of intelligence."
Access requires certain permissions; in short, my permissions are far from sufficient to obtain information related to Shangguan Xiuhong.
Li Xiuyuan nodded slowly.
Then he continued to ask:
"Then tell me in detail about the specific situation of these forces in Yunzhou City, as well as some of the secret intelligence you have collected."
"Yes, within Yunzhou City..."
Just as Li Xiuyuan used the "Soul-Capturing Technique" to control Shen Yan and make her reveal all the information he wanted.
The inn where Li Xiuyuan had stayed was now completely surrounded by the guards of the Shangguan family!
At this moment, Shangguan Rulin, dressed in a blue robe, stood beside the broken tables and chairs, looking at Shangguan Hongtao, who had become a corpse on the ground.
Three people stood behind him, all of them elders of the Shangguan family.
Listening to the stories told by the Shangguan family guards who had had their power drained and were now just ordinary people.
The expressions on Shangguan Rulin and the others' faces grew increasingly grim.
"Patriarch, it seems that the little beast Li Xiuyuan used that disguise technique to impersonate someone from my Shangguan family and infiltrate the clan."
That's precisely why we can't catch him!
Shangguan Rulin nodded.
"The fact that Li Xiuyuan was able to kill Elder Hongtao in public shows that he has already cultivated true qi and reached the sixth rank."
Furthermore, he can absorb people's true energy, and he's doing it in the dark, so we..."
Shangguan Rulin waved his hand to interrupt the elder's next words.
Then he turned around and glanced at the shopkeeper and several waiters who were already trembling with fear.
"Take Hong Tao's body away."
Before the sound faded, Shangguan Rulin had already reached the door.
The next moment, the sound of blood splattering came from behind. If Shangguan Hongtao died here, then there was no need for anyone else here to live.
Even the Shangguan family guards, whose power had been drained, fell to the sharp blades, dying without even a chance to beg for mercy.
I looked up at the cold moonlight.
Shangguan Rulin's eyes were filled with suppressed anger and murderous intent.
Li Xiuyuan has actually broken through to the sixth rank. We must find him as soon as possible, otherwise the Shangguan family will never have peace!
Qingyun will be home early tomorrow morning, and I need to have a serious talk with him about this.
Shangguan Rulin knew that a brazen newcomer to the martial arts world like Li Xiuyuan was at the age of impulsiveness and self-righteousness, and would inevitably infiltrate the Shangguan family again to cause trouble.
He had already decided to lay a trap at the Shangguan family's house tonight when he got home.
Disguise and sneak attack?
If that little beast Li Xiuyuan dares to sneak into the Shangguan family again, he will never return!
Shangguan Rulin snorted coldly and led the Shen family guards away from the once bustling street...
