When he returned to the ground, he immediately went to find Yuan Jingui's clothes, attempting to extract the remaining human energy.

Lu Jin retrieved many discarded items from inside the house, along with firewood from the kitchen, and threw them into the cellar.

"boom!!!"

Soon, a cluster of raging flames transformed into a sea of ​​fire, burning fiercely and spreading continuously along the roof beams.

"Uncle-Master, it's time to go."

Hearing the call, Jiang Mo's gaze shifted from the gray sweater in front of him, which was covered with blue flames and had already been tempered into a wisp of faint Qi.

"Walk."

Jiang Mo clenched his fists, instantly refining the wisp of Qi. In the vast天地 (heaven and earth), he also generated a new coordinate sense and found Yuan Jingui.

A blurry image appears: a rickshaw speeding madly across an empty plain...

"Wow!"

Behind him, flames surged, but Jiang Mo walked calmly to the outside of the house.

Lu Jin's white clothes were stained with blood and dust, and the bright firelight reflected his resolute expression.

After witnessing the dozen or so corpses in the cellar, his murderous intent reached its peak.

"Uncle-Master, can you find that demon?"

"I will kill him with my own hands!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint white aura appeared in Jiang Mo's palm.

"We've got it."

Jiang Mo gazed at the distant mountains, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Based on the direction of his escape, Yuan Jingui is heading to the southern border."

"Southern Border?"

Lu Jin was taken aback. "The journey is so long, why would he go to those Hundred Thousand Mountains? Could it be that he comes from that secret land?"

"boom!!!"

An explosion came from the old house behind them, drowning out all other sounds. The fire became increasingly out of control, burning the entire building until it swayed precariously, and the charred beams and pillars collapsed one after another.

"Go, intercept and kill him."

Jiang Mo raised his right hand, causing the void to tremble.

The vast white energy flowed and took shape, transforming into clouds and mist, lifting him and Lu Jin, soaring through the night sky, breaking through the sea of ​​clouds, and heading far away in the southeast.

......

At dawn, the sun rises.

In a wide-open mountainous area, the roar of an engine filled the air, billowing yellow sand as a black sedan sped past.

"Damn it, are you crazy driving that fast?!"

A woman's cursing voice came from the passenger seat: "Don't scare the child. Slow down, are you in such a hurry to be reborn?"

Yuan Jingui, with the accelerator floored, looked both arrogant and slightly pleased. The all-night drive put him at ease.

"Wife, you have no idea what I've done."

"Anyway, just run away."

"Hehe, I bet the Trinity Sect is thinking of killing me right now."

The woman was still shaken. She looked worriedly at the back row; her child was too sleepy and was still asleep.

"boom--!"

In that instant when he turned around, a stone came flying from the side, as fast as lightning, and pierced through the rickshaw's front tire in a flash.

"What?! Oh no, we hit a rock!!"

Yuan Jingui's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly turned the steering wheel, only to find that the car had gone out of control and drifted nearly a hundred meters away.

The near-overturning jolt threw the boy in the back seat high into the air, causing him to hit the roof of the car and wake up in pain.

"father!"

"Yuan Jingui, I told you to slow down, but you won't listen?!"

The woman scolded him fiercely, but then noticed that her husband's lips were turning white and he seemed panicked.

Where his gaze was fixed, a figure in black and a figure in white were walking towards them.

"What is that?" The woman's pupils contracted sharply, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

"quick!!"

"No time to explain."

Yuan Jingui roared, "Take the children and leave! I'll hold them off!!"

The car door opened, and the mother and son hurriedly fled.

Jiang Mo instructed Lu Jin: "Bring the person back. If they resist, kill them."

"it is good."

Lu Jin's hair turned white as she entered her second form, her speed increasing dramatically, like a shooting arrow, instantly pursuing her.

"Don't even think about it!!"

Yuan Jingui was horrified. He immediately flicked his wrist and used all his strength to throw out several black Qi Flame Beads covered with pale blue.

"Oh!"

The bead, bursting with extreme speed, was interrupted by Jiang Mo, who arrived in an instant, before it could even pass through the void.

He reached out his long, white hand, grabbed the beads, and with a little force, shattered them into dust.

"Pfft!!"

A mouthful of thick blood gushed from his throat, and the artifact he had spent half his life refining was thus destroyed.

Yuan Jingui felt as if her heart was being torn apart, but she was quickly overcome by fear.

He was breathing heavily, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Mo raised his hand, gathering his Qi into four long white cones that whistled through Yuan Jingui's hands and feet, pinning him firmly to the ground.

"what!!"

The tearing of flesh and the shattering of bones contorted Yuan Jingui's face as he screamed in agony.

"Is writing letters fun?"

Jiang Mo looked down at him, his two fingers slightly contracting and expanding. The long white cone that ran through his limbs began to expand, tearing apart his tendons and crippling Yuan Jingui's hands and feet.

"what!!!!"

Blood soaked through his clothes; Yuan Jingui's face was deathly pale, and the sinister glint in his eyes intensified.

"Fine, you Sany bastards, you've got a keen sense of smell. I admit defeat this time."

"However, it's quite satisfying to see you, these usually dignified and respectable noble families, utterly disgraced!"

He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

"father!!!"

"You wicked old man, save the children!!"

A helpless cry of sorrow rang out.

Lu Jin walked over carrying the small pottery in one hand, while the woman stumbled behind him, almost in tears.

"Yuan Jingui, I didn't hear what you just said clearly."

"Could you please repeat that?"

Lu Jin's eyes were as cold as ice.

Chapter 32: Initial clues emerge

Looking at the kidnapped Yuan Tao, a flicker of panic crossed Yuan Jingui's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness. Blood trickled from his mouth and nose, and he said in a disheveled yet arrogant manner:

"Come on! I'm telling you, all of you from Trinity are cowards."

"Don't let the misfortune befall your family. If you're so capable, then kill this mother and daughter."

"They're not from Quanxing. Let's see if you dare to make a move!"

Having come this far, Yuan Jingui knew he had no other choice but to take a gamble.

As long as the identities of the mother and daughter are removed, he believes that these righteous disciples would not commit the act of killing an entire family.

However, Lu Jin remained unmoved. Instead, he tightened his grip, squeezing Yuan Tao until she almost fainted, crying out for help in agony.

"Father...Father..."

"The premise of 'the misfortune not extending to family members' is that the benefits should not extend to family members."

Lu Jin looked down at Yuan Jingui, whose limbs were crippled, and said indifferently, "Your family's conditions are such that you are not worried about food and clothing in this chaotic world."

"You monstrous cultist, you do not engage in any productive activities. Just how many heinous acts have you committed to amass your wealth?"

"Besides, I don't believe your wife and children wouldn't know about the corpses in the cellar."

"These two points alone are not enough for me to kill them?"

This tough stance startled Yuan Jingui, and the sharp words were like a long knife piercing through his psychological defenses.

Especially that palpable murderous aura, it was no joke.

He was absolutely certain that if the white-haired youth in front of him dared to utter a single word of rebuttal, he would definitely snap the child's head in two.

"No...come at me!" Yuan Jingui tried to struggle to get up.

"Alright, Jin'er, let go."

"Humph!"

Lu Jin casually tossed it aside, and Yuan Tao fell to the ground in terror. He stared at his father, whose limbs were pierced and who was nailed to the ground, filled with immense fear, his whole body trembling.

Just then, a hand landed and stroked the head with the side-parted hairstyle.

In a mere instant, Jiang Mo's Qi transformed into an incredibly thin stream of white energy, flowing through the child's body.

Gradually, a scene that Yuan Jingui would never forget unfolded before his eyes.

"No!!!"

“Stop!!!”

"You beast, let me go, you son of a bitch!!"

Yuan Jingui howled like a mad dog, and the woman rushed over desperately, but was stopped by Lu Jin.

With a "whoosh!", Xiao Yuan's body gradually crystallized. After reaching its limit, it shattered into countless points of light, transforming into a ball of white qi, which was then controlled by Jiang Mo's palm.

Two fat, grotesque worms fell to the ground. After being separated from the flesh and blood of their host, they became extremely fragile and were withering away at a visible rate.

"Sure enough... the mouthparts of this venomous insect are almost identical to the wounds on the skulls of the dead!"

Lu Jin clenched his fists, wishing he could kill the entire family of three with a single punch.

Yuan Jingui's wound was pierced by four long white cones, and as he struggled to resist, his flesh and tendons were severely torn apart.

"You beasts! I'll haunt the Trinity Sect even as a ghost!!"

"do it."

Jiang Mo remained calm and said, "Whether you are human or ghost, it doesn't prevent me from killing you."

Immediately, he used his true magic, flipped his right hand, and let the Qi flow from his palm fall down, reconstructing Xiao Yuantao's body once again.

"Father...save me..."

"father..."
