Chapter 588: 587, go all the way or not at all
“Yes, I indeed obtained the map,” Qu Ling said as he took out the map.
Family Head Yan, quick and alert, snatched the map and unfolded it. Seeing the marked terrain, he laughed heartily, “It’s this map.” He had planned for so long and had finally gotten the map today. He had heard that the place marked on the map contained an Ancient Divine Artifact.
“Brother Yan, let me take a look,” Family Head Zhao reached out to grab the map.
However, Family Head Yan had already put the map away, “Don’t rush, let’s deal with the Xu Family first.” Now that he had the map, there was no more use for the Xu Family.
No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt a wave of dizziness and completely lost his strength. He looked at Qu Ling with both shock and rage, “Did you drug me?”
“Family Head, I was forced to do it, I would have died if I hadn’t,” Qu Ling said helplessly. He too was poisoned now; he had to obey Song Yan Ning.
“Do you want to monopolize this map? How despicable!” Family Head Zhao, enraged, glared at Qu Ling upon hearing Family Head Yan’s words.
“You can still turn back now, we won’t blame you,” Family Head He advised. If he had the strength, he would have killed Qu Ling on the spot. Yan Hao really outsmarted himself by being too clever—how could someone who had lived with the Xu Family for so many years have no feelings for them?
“Turn back?” Qu Ling laughed, “There’s no way back for me.”
He knew he had no way to retreat having offended the three great families; even if he didn’t die, he would face their endless pursuit. Moreover, he had betrayed the Xu Family, and it was already generous of them not to kill him; he couldn’t expect any help from them anymore. So, he decided to do or die, kill these three and then flee immediately. Song Yan Ning devised such a vicious plan to help the Xu Family, but he wanted to push the Xu Family into an irreversible abyss. As for the poison in his body, he only needed to find a poison doctor to resolve it. He didn’t believe Song Yan Ning could handle a poison doctor.
Drawing out a sharp dagger, Qu Ling slowly walked toward the three Yan family members.
“What are you trying to do?” Family Head Yan demanded sternly, but his voice lacked any command as he was completely weak.
“I’m going to kill you,” Qu Ling bent down, his face twisted savagely as he looked at Family Head Yan, the dagger in his hand gliding across Yan Hao’s face, leaving trails of blood, “Yan Hao, after all these years have you ever been unfair to my mother? Have you ever treated me as your son?” Yes, he was Yan Hao’s son, but his mother was a servant of the Yan family, and even though she bore him, the Yan family never acknowledged their relationship.
They even drove him and his mother out of the Yan family. If Xu Lingling hadn’t found him on the street, thinking he was pitiful and taken him back to the Xu Family, he might have died long ago. He did feel guilty towards the Xu Family, but he had to return to the Yan Family to reclaim everything that should belong to him.
“I have treated you as a son, always; otherwise, why would I have come to the Xu Family specifically to find you?” Yan Hao saw the murderous intent in Qu Ling’s eyes and knew he genuinely wanted to kill him. Now, he needed to stabilize him first, wait for the poison to clear, and then slowly deal with this scourge.
Qu Ling sneered, “Do you think I would believe you? Yan Hao, go to death!” As he spoke, the dagger in his hand swiftly stabbed towards Yan Hao’s chest.
