Chapter 106: Extremely cunning and slippery

Ba County City, Liu Family Residence.
Inside a study, two elder men sit facing each other, looking towards the direction of the back mountain, an obvious worry etched on their faces.
“Ever since Zhe lost to that man, he’s locked himself in the back mountain. It’s been two months already, nothing bad has happened, right?”
The two old men were none other than the most important figures of the Liu family in the present, Liu Hai and Liu Yang. They were brothers with Liu Cheng, who had been killed by Su Qingzhen. Together, they were known as the Three Heroes of the Liu family.
The one speaking was the second brother, Liu Yang. Liu Zhe was his very own grandson.
Two months ago, Liu Zhe returned to the Liu family alone. He didn’t utter a single word, instead, he secluded himself on the back mountain.
Only after some days, they found out about Liu Zhe’s defeat and their youngest brother’s unfortunate demise at the same place.
That alone was shocking enough.
One month ago, they heard rumors that Gu Yang, the top-ranked fighter on the Hidden Dragon List, had openly executed a First Rank in Zhongzhou City.
The news sent a bone-chilling fear throughout their beings.
The Liu family had actually incurred the wrath of such a formidable enemy!
And all of this was connected to that calamity of the Su family.
Often, it is said that a beauty brings disaster, and the two brothers were experiencing the truth of this saying firsthand.
They regretted not killing her on the spot due to their temporary greed. It has turned into such a massive catastrophe.
But alas, it was too late for regrets.
Liu Hai seemed slightly calmer as he comforted, “No need to worry, brother. When has Zhe ever let us down?”
Liu Yang didn’t say anything but worry filled his eyes.
Ever since Liu Zhe was accepted as a disciple by the Sword Saint of the Eastern Sea, his name entered the list of gifted youth, making him the greatest hope for the rise of the Liu family. If he were to be utterly disheartened by this setback, it would be disastrous for the Liu family.
“Emergency!”
Suddenly, an alarmed voice echoed from outside.
Recognizing the voice of his son, Liu Hai frowned and reprimanded, “Stop shouting, uphold the dignity!”
That’s when the door was rushed open and a middle-aged man rushed in, saying fearfully, “Father, someone has come to attack. Uncle has been killed by a single strike…”
“What?”
Liu Hai and Liu Yang’s expressions changed instantly.
The third elder, the only one in the second generation of the Liu family who had reached the Third Rank, was just slightly inferior to them. He had been killed in a single strike.
The invader must be at least Second Grade!
Such a ruthless strike definitely came from an enemy of the Liu family.
Liu Hai and Liu Yang looked at each other, fear reflecting in each other’s eyes.
They thought of a name simultaneously.
Liu Hai, having weathered many storms, gripped the shoulders of his son and ordered harshly, “Immediately go inform Zhe in the back mountain to leave for the Eastern Sea. He shouldn’t return unless he reaches Divine Power Realm.”
“Ha?”
The middle-aged man was startled by his father’s stern expression.
“What are you waiting for? Go. Whether the Liu family can withstand this crisis depends on you.”
“Oh, ok.”
The middle-aged man finally snapped back to reality and rushed out.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Hai said, “Let’s go meet with the number one on the Hidden Dragon List.”
He was clear that this was a life and death crisis for the Liu family.
However, as long as Liu Zhe was alive, the opponents would still hesitate.
Even if the entire Liu family died here today, Liu Zhe had to be protected. If he survived, the Liu family couldn’t be extinguished.
Gu Yang arrived at Phoenix City yesterday. On a whim, he remembered the traders who took him away from Liu Family Village owing him money — though a small amount, it was still money.
He happened to run into Old Yang, rescued him on the way, and collected the repayment of a total of sixty-five taels.
Then, with one of the Liu family’s disciples, they raided the Liu family and the trading house, acquiring more than thirty thousand taels.
This money wasn’t even enough to use the Simulation once.
Today, Gu Yang came straight to Ba County City, the stronghold of the Liu family.
He only brought Chu Xiyue and Su Qingzhen with him, reducing the number of people not to manifest as bullying the Liu family.
One was a witness, the other a victim.
When Gu Yang arrived at the gate of Liu mansion and stated his purpose to the gatekeeper, “I came to collect a debt.”
A sarcastic laughter emanated from beside him, “Daring to act wildly in the Liu family, you are truly tired of living.”
Gu Yang glanced at the scoffing two middle-aged men returning from outside. Seeing their luxurious attire, he knew they were significant figures of the Liu family.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard one of them coldly ordering, “Break his legs, and throw him out.”
Immediately, two fierce thugs began to approach him.
Gu Yang could only blame Chu Xiyue and Su Qingzhen, whose faces were hidden behind veils. They were too strikingly beautiful and didn’t enjoy being watched so they covered their faces as they entered the city.
Otherwise, the people of Liu family would surely speak more politely.
Before the thugs could draw close, they suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground.
The middle-aged men realized their mistake. Soon, they felt a chill run down their throats as a blade was placed on their necks.
