th no one daring to speak.They all knew the Zhong family was powerful, but they never expected it to be this strong!Cao Yuan didn't seem weak, but he died such a miserable death!Who else dares to go o...Like being on the edge of an endless abyss, grasping at the last straw.

However, even though his body could feel the warmth, his heart remained incredibly cold.

What just happened, happened and cannot be forgotten.

Zhao Zi Nan tightly embraced Fang Yu, her delicate body trembling violently.

"Woof!"

The Void Devourer leaped onto Fang Yu's shoulder and let out a soft bark at Zhao Zi Nan, as if trying to comfort her.

"Zinan, you were just under an illusion. Everything you saw was fake," Fang Yu said after thinking for a moment.

He didn't know what Zhao Zinan saw in the dream realm.

But obviously, that's a bad thing.

But the real bodies hidden beneath those humanoid outlines... Fang Yu didn't intend to tell Zhao ZiNan directly.

He was very clear about the sibling relationship between Zhao Zinan and Zhao Xuan.

If Zhao Zinan knew that Zhao Xuan was dead...she would probably collapse.

Therefore, Fang Yu decided to push everything onto illusion and temporarily conceal the truth about the Zhao family's extermination.

As expected, upon hearing Fang Yu's words, Zhao ZiNan slowly raised her head.

Her eyes were slightly red and swollen, her pure and delicate face was covered with tears, her complexion was pale as paper, pitiful to behold.

"Brother Fang Yu, I saw..." Zhao Zi Nan's voice trembled, wanting to tell what had just happened.

The moment she thought of her brother's terrifying appearance, she felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't speak.

"Forget everything you saw. It's all fake and meaningless," Fang Yu said.

"...Hmm." Zhao Zijian naturally believed Fang Yu's words and replied.

After realizing that everything she had just seen was an illusion, her mood calmed down considerably, and her body gradually stopped trembling.

"Fake How naive... It seems I'll have to bring out the bodies for you to accept reality."

A female voice came from all directions, echoing in the hall.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, beams of light began to flicker throughout the hall.

The corpses, one by one, emerged from beneath the humanoid outlines, lying flat on the floor before Fang Yu and Zhao Zi Nan.

There were twenty-seven people in total, all core members of the Zhao family.

Zhao Jidao, Zhao Xuan, Zhao Zinan's parents... were all among them.

Their bodies were rigid, their faces contorted, their eyes bulging, their deaths were terrifying to behold.

It's hard to imagine what they saw in their final moments.

Looking at these corpses before him, Fang Yu's eyes were cold.

"Don't entertain any fantasies, I'll tell you straight up, all your relatives... were killed by us, not a single one left."

At that moment, the alluring female voice appeared once more.

"Boom!"

Fang Yu raised his right palm and blasted a blast of true energy towards the door.

"Bang!"

Qi exploded at the front door, a figure groaned and was thrown back, crashing to the ground dozens of meters away.

"You think you can hide in the shadows and I won't see you" Fang Yu looked down at the figure lying on the ground, his voice cold.

The figure rose from the collapsed ground, brushed the dust off its body, and looked towards Fang Yu's location.

And Fang Yu was also sizing up this figure.

This is a woman wearing an ancient long robe.

She was strikingly beautiful, with lips red as blood and a prominent red flower mark on her forehead.

Although she appears young, Fang Yu is very aware that this woman's true age is much greater.

Because he recognized the red flower mark on her forehead.

This is the exclusive mark of the true disciples of Mihua Sect, a renowned second-rank sect from back then.

However... the mark on the woman's forehead indicated her status as a true disciple.

At this moment, Fang Yu recalled the old man from Bitian Zong he had seen last time in Heishi Village.

Both of them came from a long-gone sect and both wore ancient robes.

They were like they had traveled straight from that era, quite eerie.

But they have a unified identity... Punishers.

Existence hidden behind the foreign race!

"The Mihuazong is most skilled in the illusion of shifting flowers and replacing trees. No wonder the illusion just now was..." Fang Yu's eyes twitched slightly.

"As expected of the one who even Raijin himself couldn't capture, truly formidable." At this moment, the enchanting woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said with a sneer.

"If that's the case, then you're still coming to die" Fang Yu's eyes flashed with cold light, he said.

"I have a mission that must be accomplished," the seductive woman purred, her voice laced with playful malice. "As for death... that's hardly guaranteed."

Between words, her gaze shifted to Zhao Zijun beside Fang Yu.

Fāng Yǔ frowned and also looked at Zhào Zǐnán.

At this moment, Zhao Zinan was staring straight at the twenty-seven corpses lying before him, their deaths gruesome and tragic.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief and despair.

"Yes, take a good look at the state of your family! They all died because of you!" The alluring woman outside the door cried out, "What you saw just now wasn't an illusion, but their true heartbeats before they died! I simply relayed their words..."

"Boom!"

Before the seductive woman could finish her words, a blast of qi shot towards her.

The woman's face changed, and she immediately cast a spell.

"Whoosh..."

Her body transformed into a cloud of pink smoke, dispersing in the air and dodging the direct impact of the true energy.

"Hee hee...Fang Yu, no matter what you do, you can't change the facts." The woman let out a shrill laugh, said provocatively.

Fang Yu's eyes were cold.

He still doesn't know the other party's purpose.

These punishers had always targeted him before, but this time... why had it become Zhao Zinan

Moreover, if the target was Zhao Zinan, why use such a method instead of a direct attack

Killing all members of the Zhao family would have a severe impact on Zhao Zijun's emotions.

But... what benefit does such emotional punishment bring to the punisher

If they want to get rid of Zhao Zinan, they should just kill him.

If their purpose is the same as that of the Heavenly Demons, then Zhao Zinan should be taken.

What is the purpose of using this method to cause Zhao ZiNan's psychological breakdown

"...Poor vessel, unaware of its own purpose." The woman murmured again, her voice soft and laced with sadness.

"No, no..."

Zhao Zi Nan knelt on the ground, her eyes wide open, staring at the corpses before her.

Her dearest brother, Zhao Xuan, lay motionless on the cold floor, without a breath.

This isn't true... It's not true!

Zhao Zinan bit her lips until they bled, her whole body trembling.

"Well, let me show you what your most beloved brother looked like right before he died." The woman's voice echoed again.

The next second, Zhao Zinan trembled, and before her eyes appeared the last image of Zhao Xuan before his death.

Then the woman raised her right palm and touched his forehead with it.

Zhao Xuan was as if struck by lightning, his body jolted violently, his face twisted in agony, and he instantly died.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Zinan was struck dumb. Her brain felt like it was about to split open, the pain so intense she couldn't breathe.ords left his lips, a chill ran through the many royal members gathered around him.Jun Yang, the prince's words were impeccable and beyond reproach.Following the ancient Demon Emperor's orders is exac...
