"Boom!"
Xuanwu stepped forward to turn the key, and the heavy stone gate opened.
However, the moment the stone gate opened, a terrifying force suddenly blasted out from inside.
Azure Dragon and the others were shocked, not expecting that someone was hidden behind the Treasure Vault's stone gate.
Fortunately, in unfamiliar places, people habitually remain vigilant.
The dazzling Turtle Shell Shield appeared in front of Xuanwu.
"Boom!"
The violent force crashed into the Turtle Shell Shield in front of Xuanwu and exploded with a loud bang.
Xuanwu let out a cold snort, raised a hand, and sent out a huge handprint formed by terrifying power.
"Boom!"
A storm swept by, accompanied by several shrill screams.
When the opponent ambushed, Xuanwu realized their cultivation wasn't strong.
Xuanwu rushed straight in.
Azure Dragon and the other two followed him inside.
Unexpectedly, there was an empty room behind the stone gate, with nothing inside. Three figures lay on the ground, obviously severely injured, unable to get up, struck down by Xuanwu's palm.
Additionally, four people stood in the farthest corner, watching Azure Dragon and the others warily.
Xuanwu shouted sharply, "I didn't expect the remnants of the Su Family to be hiding here."
Azure Dragon looked thoughtful at the people opposite and suddenly said, "You are the Seven Sons of the Su Family, aren't you?"
Xuanwu was slightly stunned, "You mean these are the Seven Sons of the Su Family that Qin Yi is looking for?"
Azure Dragon nodded slightly, there were precisely seven, it seemed there was no mistake.
"In that case, Qin Yi doesn't have to search everywhere; I'll call him back," Vermilion Bird said as he headed outside.
Qin Yi was searching for the Seven Sons of the Su Family. These seven were all mighty figures of the Divine Separation Stage. Although Su Cheng was in the Divine Separation Middle Stage, the others were in the Early Stage, but this was an already terrifying force.
The seven had to be found.
While he was searching, suddenly, he heard Vermilion Bird's call.
Qin Yi's figure flashed as he swiftly arrived at the sound.
"Qin Yi, the people you're looking for have been found," Vermilion Bird said with a smile when he saw Qin Yi.
"Found?" Qin Yi was somewhat surprised.
Vermilion Bird laughed, "They were hiding behind the stone gate of the Treasure Vault."
Qin Yi was momentarily stunned and followed Vermilion Bird into the Treasure Vault. Upon entering, he saw it was indeed Su Cheng and the seven others.
"Oh, long time no see, I've missed you so much. Don't know if you've missed me?" Qin Yi asked Su Cheng with a joking smile.
Su Cheng looked at Qin Yi with cold eyes; he had long known what had happened outside, even their Su Family ancestor was dead.
These seven were Su Wuyu's confidants. With Su Cheng's cultivation, he was competent to be an Elder, but he wasn't one because these seven had a greater duty—to guard the Treasure Vault.
Actually, there were two mechanisms in this Su Family's Treasure Vault, and Qin Yi had obtained two keys from Su Wuyu's body, with the other in Su Cheng's hand.
Su Cheng and the others usually stayed here; the Su Family's Treasure Vault was too crucial, affecting a family's rise and fall, so they guarded it every day, not leaving an inch.
When Qin Yi and the others came to attack yesterday, they had no idea because the Treasure Vault was made of stone iron, completely soundproof, making it impossible to know what was happening outside.
By the time they discovered it, the Su Family ancestor, Su Wuyu, Su Family Elders, and disciples were all dead.
Su Cheng knew they were no match for Qin Yi and didn't rush in headlong but instead secretly retreated to hide here.
As long as the green hills are left, there's no need to worry about no firewood. Seek revenge later.
But what they didn't expect was that Qin Yi actually found this place.
Su Cheng thought that as long as the seven brothers lived on and with the vast resources in the Treasure Vault, given time, they could rebuild a Su Family. But the moment the stone gate opened, all his hopes were shattered.
Su Cheng looked at Qin Yi with hatred, "Heaven wants to destroy my Su Family."
"Wrong, it's I who want to destroy your Su Family, even God cannot save you."
"Qin Yi, you are so cruel and merciless, you will definitely face retribution. Just wait, one day you will die without a burial place."
Qin Yi sneered, "Even if that day comes, you won't see it."
"Qin Yi, I will not beg for mercy. Do it!" Su Cheng shouted fiercely.
He knew full well that even if he knelt and broke his head, Qin Yi wouldn't spare them.
So, he might as well show some backbone; it was their final dignity.
Qin Yi said indifferently, "If you begged, I could give you a swift death. There are many ways to die, some without pain, some worse than death.
Su Cheng, if you tell me where the Su Family Treasure Vault is, I can give you a quick death."
Su Cheng sneered, "I knew you came for the Su Family Treasure Vault, but I'm telling you, you'll never find it in your lifetime."
Qin Yi sneered mockingly, "You underestimate my intelligence and overestimate yourself. The gap between the stone slabs beneath your feet is much wider than the others, and the edges are rounded from frequent movement. Clearly indicating that.
I am certain that below the slabs lies the Vault's entrance. Asking you is to give you a chance. Tell me how to open this slab; it's your last chance."
He had already noticed that the stone slab directly below Su Cheng was different. But the slabs were clearly made of stone iron, and forcing it open was difficult, so he asked Su Cheng.
Su Cheng's face changed dramatically, but he stubbornly said, "Dream on, even if you discover it, you won't open it."
Qin Yi's eyes turned cold, "I admire your bravery; I hope you stay tough."
"Swish!"
Qin Yi's figure flickered and disappeared, reappearing already close to Su Zi, suppressing his cultivation with a raise of his hand and grabbing him by the neck, lifting him up.
Su Zi, though at the Early Divine Separation Stage, had no resistance against Qin Yi; he hung like a ragged sack, swaying in mid-air.
"Goodbye!"
Terror flickered in Su Zi's eyes as he desperately struggled.
"Crunch!"
Qin Yi's fingers tightened, crushing his neck. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the body in front of Su Cheng.
Su Cheng looked at the deceased Su Zi. Though not brothers by blood, for nearly a century, they had done everything together, closer than biological siblings. Watching Su Zi being crushed like an ant by Qin Yi made his eyes nearly crack, and he howled furiously, "I will kill you."
Su Cheng unleashed his cultivation to its highest, launching a palm strike at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi sneered, punching back, the force like dry thunder rolling.
"Boom!"
Palm and fist clashed directly; a terrifying storm erupted.
"Puff!"
Su Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backwards, crashing into the wall with such force that the entire room trembled incessantly as the bone-cracking sounds resounded, breaking an unknown number of bones.
Qin Yi said indifferently, "Overestimating yourself. Su Cheng, if you don't reveal how to access the Vault entrance, you'll watch your brothers die before your eyes."
