The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3106 - 3101: He Family’s Revenge_1

The outcome confirmed that his suspicions were accurate.

The He Family could not have remained ignorant of the fact that he assisted Liu Feiyan in killing He Wenkui. Given their silence despite this knowledge, it was clearly out of character for such a prominent clan to let the matter slide.

It was more likely that the opposition was biding their time, waiting for the perfect moment to launch a devastating, thunderbolt-like strike against the Liu Family.

That anticipated blow had finally arrived.

Having now ascended to the Mahayana Stage, he possessed a clear understanding of the Liu Family's internal strength. Within their ranks, only Liu Jinghong had reached the Nirvana Stage.

The He Family was similarly limited to a single Nirvana Stage expert.

However, judging by He Wenkui’s arrogant behavior previously, the He Family held a distinct advantage because they had stumbled upon incredible luck, having once saved a Nirvana Stage powerhouse from the Yunhua Sect.

This individual was known as Venerable Tianhe.

Even though both were in the Nirvana Stage, an expert hailing from the Yunhua Sect naturally possessed far superior combat strength.

Yang Chen estimated that this person, who possessed over ten thousand Dao Intent Inscriptions, was significantly more powerful than either Liu Jinghong or the He Family Head. This newcomer had to be the genuine Venerable Tianhe.

He did not rush to intervene; after all, he was currently masking his cultivation at the Enlightenment Stage, and it wasn't yet appropriate for him to step in.

He decided to wait and see what path the Liu Family would choose.

Liu Jinghong was certainly aware of the massive fluctuation in Qi. Accompanied by Liu Feiyan, he soared into the sky to confront the visitors.

"Liu Jinghong, you actually have the guts to show your face?"

Standing beside Venerable Tianhe, the He Family Head glared at Liu Jinghong and shouted his rebuke.

The sight of Venerable Tianhe visibly shook Liu Jinghong. He first offered a respectful salute, saying, "I offer my greetings to Venerable Tianhe."

He then turned a frosty gaze toward the He Family Head and said, "He Yesheng, if you have something to say, speak plainly."

With a dark expression and a murderous aura, He Yesheng demanded, "Liu Jinghong, stop playing the fool. Did my son lose his life at your hands or not?"

Liu Jinghong’s brow furrowed at the question, and he replied in a heavy tone, "He Yesheng, your son and the Evil Dog Taoist were the aggressors against my daughter that day. She was forced to kill them in self-defense. Since weapons have no eyes in a life-and-death struggle, how can the blame be placed on her?"

He was well aware that He Yesheng had brought Venerable Tianhe to exert pressure, but he knew that showing weakness would only make the situation more dire.

Since it was an undeniable fact that He Wenkui died because of the Liu Family, he had no choice but to stand his ground.

This was the reason he could afford to show some spine. The Liu Family had not been the instigators that day, and he doubted that a figure like Venerable Tianhe would openly support such blatant injustice.

Hearing this admission, He Yesheng ground his teeth in rage, glaring as he spat out, "Liu Jinghong, so it’s true! My son really was murdered by your Liu Family!"

"He Yesheng!" At that moment, Venerable Tianhe brushed his sleeve slightly and spoke with a calm authority, "He Yesheng, compose yourself."

Recalling himself, He Yesheng quickly settled his temper and replied, "Venerable Tianhe, I apologize for my lack of restraint."

Venerable Tianhe looked on impassively and said, "This He Wenkui was also my disciple. I have come today to seek justice for him. Liu Family Head, do you have any objections?"

"Of course, that is only natural," Liu Jinghong replied, his frown deepening.

Venerable Tianhe continued in a low, resonant voice, "Your daughter alone could not have possibly slain both my disciple and the Evil Dog Taoist. If she truly was the one who struck the blow, we might overlook it. However, it is clear that someone else was involved. I, Venerable Tianhe, want that person. I trust you will give me enough face to hand them over."

Liu Jinghong fell into deep thought, his resolve beginning to waver. If sacrificing Yang Chen could ensure the safety of the entire Liu Family, it would be a small price to pay.

However, Liu Feiyan’s expression turned grim, and she immediately cried out, "The Evil Dog Taoist and He Wenkui were indeed killed by my hand! I possessed a protective talisman scroll gifted by my father; it saved my life and allowed me to counterattack at the critical moment. That is how I killed them both."

"Liu Feiyan, if you intend to lie, you should at least make it believable. I personally inspected the site, and there were no traces of Nirvana Stage Dao Intent Inscriptions. The strongest presence there was an Enlightenment Stage expert. Liu Feiyan, I suggest you surrender that person obediently," Venerable Tianhe spoke with icy coldness.

Liu Jinghong glanced at his daughter, having already sent her a secret sound transmission.

But Liu Feiyan bit her lip stubbornly. She possessed a strong sense of integrity; how could she possibly betray Yang Chen?

Exposing him would be the height of ingratitude after he had saved her life.

Clenching her fists, she spoke with renewed defiance, "Venerable Tianhe, I am sorry to disappoint you, but our sect harbors no other experts. I alone killed the Evil Dog Taoist and your disciple He Wenkui that day. If you want a reckoning, take it from me."

Following her words, Venerable Tianhe’s aura suddenly flared, filling the air with a bone-chilling pressure.

"Very well, Liu Feiyan, you certainly have nerve. In that case, I shall hold your Liu Family accountable for sheltering a fugitive! Today, your family shall pay a heavy price, or this matter will not be settled." Venerable Tianhe’s power erupted.

This terrified Liu Jinghong, who felt the overwhelming dread radiating from the Venerable, making it nearly impossible for him to even think of resisting.

Given the sheer number of Dao Intent Inscriptions the other man possessed, he was completely outmatched.

In his panic, he considered trying to convince his daughter one last time, or even simply revealing Yang Chen's identity himself.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen observed the entire exchange.

"This Liu Feiyan... it seems my efforts to save her were not in vain," Yang Chen remarked, standing with his hands behind his back.

While Liu Jinghong seemed ready to sell him out, Liu Feiyan’s unwavering loyalty was enough to earn the Liu Family his protection.

At that moment, Venerable Tianhe lost his patience for further talk.

"Hmph, since you refuse the easy way, you shall have the hard way. I will start by taking over a hundred lives from your Liu Family!" Venerable Tianhe prepared to strike.

Liu Feiyan’s face turned pale, realizing that the Venerable intended to target her kin.

If he unleashed his power indiscriminately, her siblings and relatives would be slaughtered.

"Stop!" Liu Feiyan screamed in fury.

As Liu Jinghong moved to intervene, He Yesheng blocked his path with a sneer.

"You!" Liu Jinghong was livid.

He Yesheng mocked him, "Liu Jinghong, your family dared to protect a criminal. Now that a Yunhua Sect Master is enforcing the law, you still think you can interfere?"

Just as Venerable Tianhe was about to annihilate the area with a single strike, a flash of light surged past. The overwhelming force of the Venerable’s attack was instantly neutralized and vanished into thin air.

Venerable Tianhe’s eyes widened in shock as he yelled, "Who is there?!"

"Get lost!"

A voice like a thunderclap exploded directly within Venerable Tianhe’s mind via sound transmission!

Simultaneously, a terrifying pressure descended upon him like a suffocating nightmare, leaving him paralyzed and unable to even contemplate resistance.

"The... Mahayana Stage?"
