Chapter 1585: Chapter 458: Brother-in-law, You’re So Powerful! (6k)

After listening to Zhou Qing’s account, Shen Yunzhou’s breathing gradually steadied, and his voice carried a hint of disbelief and trembling: “So… Third Uncle is still alive?”

“Yes.” Zhou Qing nodded emphatically.

“That’s wonderful… Grandfather, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, and elder sister… all are still here…” Shen Yunzhou’s eyes were slightly red, tears shimmering within them.

For the past five years, he carried the weight of a deep-seated grudge alone, walking through darkness, never imagining he wasn’t truly alone.

Zhou Qing firmly placed a hand on his shoulder, speaking in a deep voice, “So, you’ve never fought alone. We’re all here.”

Shen Yunzhou looked at him deeply, nodding vigorously.

Over the years, he thought he was just a surviving lone wolf from the Shen Family, launching an almost hopeless revenge against three colossal entities with the strength of just entering the Spirit Severing Realm, alongside a few clan members in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Each day was like walking on thin ice, never knowing when he might meet his demise.

But now, upon learning that some of his closest kin still lived, the shadow weighing on his heart for years finally cracked slightly.

“Brother-in-law, what’s your plan next? Would you really leave Little Yaoyao with Yu Yan? Is she trustworthy?”

“I’ve heard the Yu Race is looking for you — no, it seems the entire Nanhuang State is watching you!”

Shen Yunzhou’s brow furrowed slightly, “After all, those two Inscription-level Divine Techniques you possess are incredibly enticing.”

Zhou Qing let out a cold laugh, eyes filled with killing intent: “No matter, let them come. They’ll be my whetstone, helping me perfect my Realm!”

Seeing this expression of his, Shen Yunzhou felt inexplicably relieved.

In a trance, he seemed to see his sister once more — always standing in front, no matter the occasion.

Zhou Qing continued, “Yu Yan is trustworthy for now, and I’m at ease leaving Yaoyao with her. As for the plan…”

His eyes flashed slightly, and he spoke slowly, “Before coming here, I extinguished the Xiao Family and deliberately exposed my whereabouts.”

“Now, everyone’s focus will naturally be drawn to the Fifth Tail, while we — will do the opposite and go straight for the Sixth Tail!”

“You extinguished the Xiao Family?” Shen Yunzhou’s pupils shrank, almost doubting what he heard, “The Xiao Family that replaced my Shen Family?”

Zhou Qing nodded indifferently: “Yes, though not a full extermination, merely solved the family head, the great elder, and second elder in passing.”

Shen Yunzhou sucked in a cold breath; if he remembered correctly, the Xiao Family’s head, Xiao Tiance, was an old hand at the Spirit Slash Realm Perfection.

Just like my Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and elder sister.

And in brother-in-law’s mouth, they died so casually?

Not to mention there were two late-stage Spirit Severing Realm elders!

At that moment, Shen Yunzhou couldn’t help but ask: “Brother-in-law, what is your cultivation now?”

“Late-stage Spirit Severing Realm.” Zhou Qing’s lips curved, “However, for certain reasons, I can slay even those at Great Perfection.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunzhou’s eyes immediately revealed a trace of shock and admiration.

Back then, he witnessed with his sister as they protected his brother-in-law during his breakthrough into the Spirit Severing Realm, even seeing his Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown and Little Venerable Realm Tribulation.

Yet every step forward in the Spirit Severing Realm is incredibly challenging, requiring painstaking accumulation of Spiritual Power and Realm perfection.

And brother-in-law, to have reached the late stage in such a short time!

“Great! Let’s go to the Sixth Tail!” Shen Yunzhou’s eyes burned with fighting intent, fists clenching hard.

“This time, we must shake up the heavens and earth! Let everyone know — my brother-in-law is back!”

His voice carried years of suppressed severity, “I will ensure those scoundrels who destroyed the Shen Family live the rest of their lives in fear!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing chuckled lightly and pointed towards the distance: “I heard there’s a Liu Family mine nearby? Shall we collect some interest first?”

Shen Yunzhou’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Just what I wanted! That place was originally our Shen Family’s property, now occupied by the Liu Family; half a year ago, I and Shen Hai were ambushed there…”

His words cut off abruptly, eyes flashing a trace of pain, then transforming into more intense killing intent, “Today, with brother-in-law here, we’ll make them pay in blood!”

Zhou Qing stood up, brushed off his robe, and glanced deep into the cave at Shen Hai, who was healing, speaking softly, “Let him rest and recover; a true hero he is.”

Shen Yunzhou nodded solemnly.

He remembered the life-saving favor deeply, leaving the Four-Color Array quietly before setting out — this array, considered repaying the favor.

Two figures swiftly swept out like a gale, heading straight for the mine.

Shen Yunzhou’s heart surged with fervor, as if already seeing the fearful faces of his enemies.

Sun Thieves, I, Shitian Emperor Shen Yunzhou, come with my brother-in-law for vengeance!

Are you ready?

…

The bloody setting sun dyed the entire mine dark red, the earth cracked, mountain rocks fragmented, and the air was filled with a pungent smoke and heavy stench of blood.

The mine tunnel had long collapsed, with broken wooden beams and shattered ore mixed together, forming a chaotic wasteland.

The bodies of the Liu Family cultivators lay scattered everywhere, some sliced in two by Sword Qi, others crushed internally by immense force.

Dark red blood trails snaked across the scorched earth, converging into grotesque little streams.

The miner slaves were dressed in rags, trembling as they kneeled at the edge of the ruins, heads deeply bowed, unable to lift them.

They trembled all over, barely daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing those two killing gods.

Standing in the air, Zhou Qing’s robe fluttered, his presence suffused with an overwhelming, terrifying pressure.

He looked down indifferently, as if all this was nothing but ants crushed effortlessly.

The air carried only an invisible oppression, causing everyone still alive to have hearts pounding, almost suffocating.

Below, Shen Yunzhou stood covered in blood, like a god of death returning from hell.
