Chapter 112: Spare No One!

“But how… how has our Fan family offended you gentlemen?

Although the two people were unfamiliar to him, as the patriarch of the tycoon Fan family, Fan Cheng was not sloppy. He spoke respectfully in a low voice as he voiced his question.

What kind of joke was this!

The two people before him were using the golden-crowned eagle from the Lost Forest as a mount, so how could they possibly be ordinary people?

Even his brother-in-law, the king of the Chu royal family or even the emperor of the country of Yunyang, did not have the ability to make these two golden-crowned eagles their mounts.

Of course, these two people could have used some unconventional methods to subdue these two golden-crowned eagles, but even so, they were not people he could afford to provoke.

At their command, the golden-crowned eagles had caused such destruction to their Fan family mansion, and it could be seen that the golden-crowned eagles obeyed their orders completely.

From start to finish, Fan Cheng did not think that the golden-crowned eagles were acting of their own will, because he had never heard of the golden-crowned eagles leaving the Lost Forest, what more leaving the Lost Forest and attacking any family clan.

Even if the two golden-crowned eagles decided to attack a family clan, they could not possibly have chosen the Fan family, could they?

From the Lost Forest to Tianxiu City where the Fan family was, not only did they have to pass the Chu royal city, but also two other cities that had many family clans; there were over a hundred family clans in the Chu royal city.

“About ten days ago, your Fan family members abducted a woman and a girl on the road south of Tianxiu City.”

Lu Qinghu spoke solemnly and reached out to point at the old woman behind Fan Cheng. “That day, it was this old woman who led the group that carried out the abduction!”

The old woman was the second elder of the Fan family, Fan Qizhu.

Earlier, she had found the middle-aged man on the golden-crowned eagle’s back rather familiar, but could not quite recall where from in that moment. Now, hearing his words, her expression changed in an instant, panic and disbelief on her face. “It’s you!”

She could not have imagined in her wildest dreams that someone she had seen as ants and whom she could kill at will ten days ago would today be standing on the back of a golden-crowned eagle, using it as a mount and looking down at her.

Who could tell her how this was possible?!

“Her?”

A cold gleam flashed across Zhou Donghuang’s eyes, and his mouth twitched.

The next moment, Little Gold, who had been circling beside, suddenly shook his wings and grabbed Fan Qizhu like a black bolt of lightning. By the time she reacted, she was already grasped tightly and more than a hundred meters in the air.

The way Little Gold had grabbed Fan Qizhu was completely different from how he had grabbed that young man in the mandarin robe in Tianxiu City earlier.

He had not hurt the young man.

But now, his sharp talons pierced right through Fan Qizhu’s shoulder, and as she was carried up into the sky, blood sprayed through the air, bright and eye-catching.

“No—!”

Before the gaze of the crowd, Little Gold released his talons a hundred meters up in the air, and Fan Qizhu let out a shrill, piteous cry as she plummeted to the ground.

Crash!!

Before the crowd of Fan family members, Fan Qizhu had only been wounded in both shoulders before she was carried into the sky, but when she landed, she was smashed into a meat paste, completely lifeless.

Not even a Great Consummation adept of the Qi-Gathering, what more a level-eight adept like Fan Qizhu, could possibly hope to survive a fall from a height of over a hundred meters.

“Second… Second Elder…”

“This… this…”

The whole crowd of Fan family members, including Patriarch Fan Cheng of the Fan family, felt their scalp tingle and a chill run up their spine as their expressions changed completely.

A whole and healthy person had been thrown to her death in an instant right before their eyes!

As Little Gold threw Fan Qizhu to her death, he purposely flew lower, circling around the crowd of Fan family members, frightening them so much that the fear showed on their faces.

“Just who has Second Elder offended?”

Fear was on the faces of many Fan family juniors, and some of the more timid ones had wet themselves with fear.

Even the strength of the entire Fan family would definitely not be sufficient to resist such powerful demons.

“The woman and girl abducted ten days ago… it seems that Patriarch… sent Second Elder to abduct them?”

A direct relative of the Fan family spoke softly as he glanced subconsciously at Patriarch Fan Cheng of the Fan family.

When Fan Cheng heard it, his expression changed completely, and he stared in fury at him, as though he wanted to skin him alive that very moment.

Saying something like that at this time was akin to getting him into more trouble.

Fortunately, however, it was not very loud, and the two people on the back of the golden-crowned eagle probably did not hear it.

But what the youth in white standing on the eagle’s back said next made Fan Cheng despair. “Was it you who sent people to abduct my mother and little sister?”

Zhou Donghuang looked down indifferently at Fan Cheng, his tone casual, as though he felt no emotion whatsoever.

“Sir, that Yun Lu is only a member of an insignificant grand family, how could she be… your sister?”

Fan Cheng sucked in a deep breath as he looked anxiously at the youth on the eagle’s back as he asked, “You… could you be mistaken?”

“Grand family?”

Zhou Donghuang came to a realization. That was why Freezing Wind had said that Xiao Lu had considerable martial talent, for she had been born into a grand family.

“Where are they?” Zhou Donghuang asked flatly.

Almost as soon as Zhou Donghuang had finished speaking, Fan Cheng hurriedly turned to glance at the old man behind him. “First Elder, hurry! Quickly go and invite Madam and Young Mistress Yun Lu over.”

“Yes, Patriarch.”

The old man acknowledged and left.

“Sir.”

Fan Cheng looked anxiously at Zhou Donghuang. “I… I did not know the lady traveling with Young Mistress Yun Lu was your mother, but I guarantee, the Fan family’s target was only Yun Lu and not your mother.”

However, Zhou Donghuang paid no attention to him and stood silently on the golden-crowned eagle’s back and waited.

After about fifteen minutes, the old man returned with a cunning-looking old woman and a middle-aged lady, both looking extremely foul.

They could never have imagined that just when they had managed to force the location of the object from the girl’s mouth according to the instructions of the patriarch of the Fan family, the little girl’s savior would arrive. Moreover, he was a savior so powerful that the Fan family could not hope to resist.

“It really is the golden-crowned eagles!”

At that moment, they knew that the first elder had not deceived them.

Now, the three of them were clustered around a beautiful lady as they walked, and the beautiful lady was holding a little girl who was covered in wounds, clinging to life by a thread.

“Xiao Lu, your brother is here, endure, you must endure.”

Lin Lan’s expression was full of anxiety, and her tears flowed freely, her gaze never leaving the little girl she was holding.

“Mother!”

In the split second when he saw Lin Lan, Zhou Donghuang ordered Big Gold to fly towards Lin Lan and land just in front of her. He leaped off the eagle’s back with Lu Qinghu.

Zhou Donghuang walked before Lin Lan, and looking at the little girl in her bosom all covered in wounds and soaked in blood, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and a murderous rage rose in him.

“Donghuang, quick take a look at Xiao Lu… you can do something right? Am I right?”

Lin Lan was stricken with panic as she passed the little girl to Zhou Donghuang.

Zhou Donghuang took the little girl and produced a small medicine bottle and tipped the elixir in it into the little girl’s mouth. “Xiao Lu, this is the wound-healing elixir that your brother has formulated, take it, and you’ll recover in no time.”

Zhou Donghuang’s tone was as gentle as water.

“Cough… cough…”

The little girl swallowed the elixir with some difficulty and opened her eyes with an effort. When she saw Zhou Donghuang, her pretty face broke into a brilliant smile. “Brother… you’re here?”

“I… I protected mother, Xiao Lu did not let mother get hurt… cough… cough… Brother, I am sleepy, so very sleepy…”

Seeing Zhou Donghuang, the little girl seemed to let out a long breath and shut her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhou Donghuang solemnly produced a bottle of blood-staunching elixir, and drop by drop, he dropped it very carefully on the wounds on the little girl’s body.

He had been fine initially, but when he saw that all ten of the little girl’s fingernails had been pulled out, he could no longer control his emotions as he raised his head suddenly and looked up, a red mist descending over his eyes.

“Big Gold, Little Gold… everyone in this Fan family mansion, spare no one!”

“Leave the leader for last.”

After Zhou Donghuang instructed Big Gold and Little Gold, he gathered up the little girl and greeted Lin Lan, walking with her towards the main entrance of the Fan family mansion.

Lu Qinghu followed them closely.

When the patriarch of the Fan family Fan Cheng stepped forward and saw the youth leading them towards the main entrance of the Fan family Mansion, he could not help heaving a sigh of relief, thinking that the Fan family had escaped a calamity.

Perhaps he knows about the Fan family’s connections with the Chu royal family and dares not cross the line.

Fan Cheng said to himself.

However, just as the youth had taken several steps, he noticed that the two golden-crowned eagles had moved.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two golden-crowned eagles shot out like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, they killed the head elder of the Fan family as well as the old lady and lady beside him.

Immediately, the two golden-crowned eagles turned and swooped towards him, and just as he thought he was about to die, he saw the two golden-crowned eagles sweep a cold glance over him and ignore him as they proceeded to slaughter the other Fan family members.

And those Fan family members, faced with two golden-crowned eagles that were Petty Consummation demons of the Qi-Gathering, naturally had no way to defend themselves. They were killed one by one as they screamed shrilly.

“Make them stop now!”

Fan Cheng looked at the youth who was walking away as he shouted, “My sister is the consort of the Chu royal family! The king of the Chu royal family is my brother-in-law!”

However, the youth did not even glance back and led his family out of the Fan family mansion to find an inn to stay in.

Yun Lu was too severely injured and was in no shape to travel. Even with the wound-healing elixir and blood-staunching elixir that Zhou Donghuang had formulated, she would need several days to recover.

On January 12, 1229 of the Ziyun Era, the Fan family of Tianxiu City was wiped out, root and branch.

Apparently, the ones responsible for wiping out the Fan family were none other than the two golden-crowned eagles from the Lost Forest!

When the news spread, it created an uproar in Tianxiu City, and as it spread further from Tianxiu City, it shook everyone who heard it!
