Cultivation Pet Shop

After admiring Lin Ao's work, Mo Ze Chen came over and said, "It seems like you've already tidied things up? Should we head in then?"

Lin Ao raised a hand to stop him as he said, "Not yet. There's still more of them hiding inside the manor."

Mo Ze Chen turned his gaze to the manor and found that there were indeed some auras coming from the manor. Based on the intensity of these auras, the cultivation of the ones that these auras belonged to weren't weaker than Lin Ao's and they clearly outnumbered him.

Mo Ze Chen couldn't help knitting his brows, but before he could say anything, Lin Ao was already heading towards the Yue Manor.

Mo Ze Chen shook his head with a bitter smile when he saw this, but he also sent another message to the others.

After this message was sent, there was a sudden flash of light that appeared around the Yue Manor.

It didn't seem like anything had happened, but then there was a shattering sound that came from the Yue Manor. Just like glass cracking, the barrier that had been around the Yue Manor shattered to pieces and disappeared completely.

This was the Yue Manor's protective array, one that had been built and improved on by the Yue Family over thousands of years. It was an array that could even take several blows from a Nascent Soul Realm Expert.

But with a single flash of light, this protective array had shattered like glass.

The experts of the Yue Family who were still in the manor couldn't help staring on in shock.

Just how did this happen?

Naturally, the flash of light was also something that Lin Fan had given his subordinates. It was something that he had prepared just to deal with the Yue Manor's protective array.

As for how it was able to easily shatter that array, of course it was something that came from the system.

The system's items were on a completely different level, so it wasn't hard for Lin Fan to find something to deal with this array.

After the array had been shattered, Lin Ao started moving towards the Yue Manor in the smoke, unbeknownst to the people inside of the manor.

Mo Ze Chen was still worried since he could tell that there were people that were just as strong as Lin Ao in the manor, but he also knew that he couldn't stop Lin Ao. The only thing that he could do was follow him, throwing out the item in his hand just in case they needed to escape.

This was another one of the items that Lin Fan had given him and it was supposed to be used as a last resort.

It was a good thing that Mo Ze Chen didn't need to use this in the end.

Lin Ao moved right through the gates of the Yue Manor, ignoring all the guards that were spread out at the entrance. All he did was flick his fingers and send out beams of sword energy before they all collapsed to the ground.

But of course, these guards that had been placed at the entrance weren't that powerful, they were nothing more than normal guards.

As Lin Ao moved further into the Yue Manor, the experts that were scattered about there were much more powerful.

Each one of these experts was in the Peak Embryo Soul Realm, just being a step away from the Child Soul Realm. But when faced with this sword cultivator in the Child Soul Realm, they were still cut down like wheat before a scythe.

There was no stopping this god of death from making his way through the Yue Manor.

Finally, Lin Ao reached the inner parts of the Yue Manor where the Child Soul Realm Experts were hiding.

These were experts that were from the branches of the Yue Family, so they weren't by any means weak. Even if they weren't the greatest experts of the Yue Family, they still received the inheritance of the Yue Family, so they were far stronger than normal people.

The one problem was that they were facing a sword cultivator.

Sword cultivators were known for having the strongest attack out of all cultivators and since they were currently unaware of their surroundings because of the smoke, Lin Ao was able to catch them off guard.

He sent out sword energy beams at these experts of the Yue Family, catching them off guard since they only felt the sword energy beams coming when he flicked his fingers.

Since they weren't able to raise their guards, they were hit head on by these powerful beams of sword energy.

While they were able to survive because they were stronger than the others, they were still seriously injured.

With this serious injury, there was no way for them to resist the follow up attacks from Lin Ao, even if they knew that he was here. Not to mention that with the smoke around them still, they weren't able to see him at all, so they didn't know where these attacks came from until it was too late.

Just like this, Lin Ao swept through all the Child Soul Realm Experts of the Yue Family, only leaving two of them alive in the end.

These two were the two Peak Child Soul Realm Experts who had been left in charge of the Yue Manor.

After he took care of all the Child Soul Realm Experts, he dragged the two Peak Child Soul Realm Experts to a table that he sat them down at before flicking his hand to dissipate the smoke around him.

When the two Peak Child Soul Realm Experts saw him, they couldn't help revealing shocked looks.

They weren't shocked because there was an intruder, but rather they were shocked because they recognized Lin Ao.

When Lin Ao charged into the Yue Manor in the past, he had caused quite a commotion that had left a deep impression on all the Yue Family members. These two had been there when it happened, so they naturally recognized Lin Ao with a single look.

One of them couldn't help saying in a stuttering voice, "How can it be you?"

But the other one had more of a stable mentality, so he said, "What do you think you're doing? Do you really think that you'll get away after you do something like this? You're in the True Spirit Sect and you've attacked the family of one of the elders, this will not end well for you. It's best that you surrender…"

Before he could finish, Lin Ao slammed his hand down on the table, cutting it in half right in the center.

Both of them shut their mouths when they saw this and couldn't help shivering.

This Lin Ao was much stronger compared to before…

They almost felt the same amount of pressure from him as their ancestor, the Nascent Soul Realm Expert of the Yue Family.

Lin Ao said in a cold voice, "Where is my wife?"

The two of them looked at each other before revealing calm looks.

That was right, they still had Yue Qingrou in their hands, so it wasn't as if he could do anything to them. If he did, she would naturally suffer since it was unlikely that he would be able to escape the wrath of the Yue Family after what he did, so she would be left alone.

It was impossible that he wouldn't want to leave a way out for her.

So they were filled with confidence once again, but it was too bad that this was all false confidence.

How could Lin Ao miss the change in their expression.

One of them was about to speak, but then Lin Ao suddenly raised his hand and sent two beams of sword energy right at their faces. It deviated at the very last second, flying right past them on the right, cutting their cheeks.

The one that was about to speak immediately swallowed his words after that and the two of them looked at each other with wide eyes.

Lin Ao said in a cold voice, "If the next words out of your mouths isn't the location of my wife, don't think that the next beam will miss."

Both of the Peak Child Soul Realm Experts couldn't help giving a gulp when they heard this.

They could hear how serious Lin Ao was and they were completely surrounded by corpses, so they didn't doubt this anymore.

One of them finally said, "To the side, in the cabinet. There's a hidden passage behind it."

Lin Ao followed this person's eyes to the cabinet on the side before turning back to them.

The two of them started to beg for their lives, "We've already told you where she is, let us go! We promise that we won't…"

But before they could finish, Lin Ao had already slashed their necks, cutting their heads off.

Like father, like son, Lin Ao was just as cold and decisive as Lin Fan.

…No, that wasn't right since the original Lin Fan's wasn't as decisive as this.

After he came over to the cabinet, he released his spiritual sense to check it before flicking his hand to send out his sword energy.

The back of the cabinet fell and revealed a hidden passage.

Lin Ao quickly moved through this hidden passage until he reached a prison and it was there that he finally saw the person that he had been wanting to see the entire time.

Without any hesitation, he flicked his hand and cut right through the bars of the prison, freeing Yue Qingrou.
