Chapter 186 Relief and Regret

Just as Qiao Yu was about to leave after exploring the entire basement, a rustling sound suddenly came from above.

Qiao Yu didn't hesitate at all and immediately activated the Six Paths Power while leaning against the wall.

Subsequently, a thin man who was only 1.6 meters tall walked down, like a monkey.

Laurian!

This guy seemed to be An Liya's cheap old man, right?

Qiao Yu was shocked. What was he doing here? If he wanted revenge, the Great Elder's head was long gone.

"Come out, I know you're down there." Laurian spoke coldly, startling Qiao Yu.

Then Qiao Yu calmed down. *See* me? Yeah right! You wicked old man!

He had clearly activated the Six Paths Power. He didn't believe Laurian could detect him.

Laurian also frowned slightly. He had clearly sensed movement down here just now.

Then, Laurian took out a hidden weapon and launched an indiscriminate attack in all directions.

"Damn it! An ambush!"

Qiao Yu exclaimed and could only block. The underground chamber was so small that he couldn't dodge at all.

As soon as he moved, his figure was revealed to Laurian.

"Evil Wind Swift Blades!"

Seeing Qiao Yu reveal himself, Laurian stretched out his hands abruptly. Immediately, three incomparably sharp blades transformed into three streaks of black light, flying out from three directions and directly sealing off all of Qiao Yu's escape routes.

Qiao Yu didn't sit still and do nothing. He directly took out the Zhulong Moon Blade that he had just strengthened.

The moment the Zhulong Moon Blade appeared, Laurian's heart tightened instantly. The feeling was as if he had encountered a natural enemy, making him feel a little nervous.

The Zhulong Moon Blade was swung violently, and a phantom of Zhujiuyin vaguely appeared behind Qiao Yu.

Accompanied by a low roar like rolling thunder, Qiao Yu slashed away all three streaks of black light with one strike.

Then, he stomped hard and charged towards Laurian, slashing down with the Zhulong Moon Blade.

Laurian raised two Swift Blades to block, but he was sent flying backward by Qiao Yu's strike, crashing into the wall of the secret chamber.

"How can there be such a terrifying powerhouse in the Divine Mountain?" Laurian was shocked.

After Qiao Yu walked out of the shadows, he finally saw Qiao Yu's appearance clearly by the light of the night-luminescent pearl.

"It's you? You're the brat next to An Liya back then?"

Laurian was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect Qiao Yu to appear here, and even more so, he didn't expect Qiao Yu to become so much stronger.

"Who are you calling a brat? You're the brat, your whole family are brats." Qiao Yu didn't back down.

He couldn't beat Laurian before, but now Laurian was no longer a strong enemy in his eyes. After all, this guy couldn't even beat the Great Elder. How could Qiao Yu possibly be polite to him?

"The elders outside... were they killed by you?"

Laurian looked complicated, ignoring Qiao Yu's greetings to his family.

"I killed them, so what?"

Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said with his arms folded.

Qiao Yu had no good feelings towards An Liya's biological father, so naturally, he wouldn't be polite to him.

Unexpectedly, Laurian knelt down with a thud. His speed was so fast that Qiao Yu was startled. Was this the speed of a Saint-level assassin?

"Thank you!"

Qiao Yu then noticed that Laurian was already crying bitterly. This time, Qiao Yu was completely dumbfounded.

"I originally thought that I would never be able to avenge myself in this lifetime. Thank you, really thank you!"

His wife was humiliated, and his daughter was kept captive. Through years of forbearance, no one knew how much pain this man had endured in his heart.

The moment he learned that all his enemies had been killed, the emotion that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally couldn't help but burst out.

Laurian, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly seemed to have thought of something and crawled towards Qiao Yu on his knees.

"That's right! Where's the Great Elder? Why didn't I see the Great Elder's corpse outside?" Laurian asked.

Of all the people in the Divine Mountain, the one he hated the most was definitely the Great Elder who had humiliated his wife.

Whenever he thought of his wife being forced to kneel in front of the Great Elder and Eat Little Almonds in order to protect him, Laurian felt as if his heart was being cut into pieces.

He couldn't wait to eat the Great Elder's flesh and drink the Great Elder's blood so that he could relieve the hatred in his heart.

"The Great Elder? He's also dead, but his corpse should only have a hand and a torso left." Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly.

"Huh? Then where's his head?"

"Head..." Qiao Yu recalled the force of his kick just now. "It should have already escaped the gravity of Ji Star and reached the second cosmic velocity..."

Laurian was confused, but he roughly understood that the Great Elder was already dead.

A sense of relief suddenly appeared on his face, as if an old man carrying hundreds of pounds of firewood had suddenly unloaded all his burdens.

"Now that all the enemies are dead, it's time for me to go down and see Anya. She must be waiting for me anxiously."

As soon as he finished speaking, Laurian suddenly pierced his temple directly with a Swift Blade, a relieved smile appearing on his gaunt face.

"Damn it, what are you doing, brother? Why are you committing suicide when the Great Elder and the others are dead?" Qiao Yu hurried over.

"You're called Qiao Yu, right? I'm not a qualified father, and I don't have the face to see An Liya again. If possible, I'll entrust An Liya to you."

Laurian's pupils began to slowly dilate.

Qiao Yu didn't use the Necromancy spell to revive Laurian. This guy was An Liya's biological father after all. Although Qiao Yu had no bottom line when doing things, he wouldn't attack his own people.

Besides, if he revived Laurian with necromancy, what would he say to An Liya when he saw her in the future?

Your dad is awesome?

Or your dad is really useful?

"By the way, can you tell me where An Liya is now?"

A peaceful smile had already appeared on the corner of Laurian's mouth, but the next second, Qiao Yu's answer made his smile stop abruptly.

"She should... be in the Underworld..."

Qiao Yu scratched his nose a little awkwardly. He didn't know how to explain An Liya's situation to Laurian. After all, Hermes's words were also ambiguous.

"The... the Underworld???"

Laurian widened his eyes and looked at Qiao Yu as if he was having a flashback. Then, he slowly uttered half a sentence of beautiful language before losing his breath.

"Fuc..."

"Alas, is this what a Saint-level assassin is like? They commit suicide so quickly that I don't even have time to save you."

Qiao Yu shook his head, then dug a hole on the Divine Mountain and buried Laurian in it.

Then, he picked up the Great Elder's remaining corpse, which only had a right hand and torso, and erected it as a tombstone in front of Laurian's grave.

He believed that Laurian would like this tombstone.

After burying Laurian, Qiao Yu returned to the secret chamber under the temple and pried off all the night-luminescent pearls embedded in the wall.

After doing all this, Qiao Yu closed his eyes contentedly and began to sense the aura of the Void Domain Gate according to the method that the Second Elder had given him.

"Found it! It seems to be over here!"

Qiao Yu was overjoyed and hurried towards a direction.
