The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Xu Hao sneered, "Do you really think you can do whatever you want here by setting up the Eight Directions Blood Absorbing Formation and holding a fake Evil Qi orb?"

"It's that thing!"

Lei Qianjue suddenly screamed in horror, his face filled with fright, retreating as he said, "Could it be the legendary, extremely evil object of Evil Qi?"

The old man's voice arose again from all directions, "Hehehe, yes, this is the Bloodthirsty orb that can invisibly absorb human blood and qi! Boy, you actually know this is a counterfeit; it seems you come from no ordinary background! However, since you dare to step into my great array with malicious intent toward me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Qian Changle quickly said, "Would you attack without understanding the circumstances? Since you live in our Qian Family, and my father even specifically reserved this room for you, it shows his friendliness toward you. Young Master Xu is our guest; how can you make a move against him?"

The old man sneered, "Friendly? If I weren't controlling your father, would he be friendly to me? Would he lend this place to me to live? He would have killed me long ago in collaboration with that damned fellow!"

"What? You have been controlling my father?!" Qian Changle was shocked to his core, completely unaware that his own father was being controlled.

"Three years ago, I was chased here; originally, it had nothing to do with Old Man Qian, but he had to meddle. Just as I was about to turn the tables and counter-kill, Old Man Qian brought people to help that guy, forcing me to flee here. Days later, I stealthily returned, assassinated that fellow, and then took control of Old Man Qian," the old man recounted with great pride, his words also filled with resentful emotions toward Elder Qian.

It suddenly occurred to Qian Changle, and he angrily said, "Three years ago, after my father returned from a trip, he indeed brought back a high-ranking Taoist. Later, that man died mysteriously, and my father held a grand funeral for him. You must have already taken control of my father by then, hadn't you?"

"That's right!" The old man didn't hide it.

"But just now, when we wanted to come in, my second brother didn't let us enter, his eyes filled with panic. Why is that? Does he know about your existence, or is there some agreement between you two?" Qian Changle asked immediately.

The old man laughed loudly, "Anyway, you're about to die, so telling you won't harm me. Qian Wei Le has been good to me these years, and has helped me acquire the things I need. My injuries are long healed, and my strength is even greater than before. Once I advance to the Grandmaster level, I'm going to settle the score with that guy's sect! They dared to attack me in the past; I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

It was then that Xu Hao finally spoke, "Over these years, you must have absorbed quite a lot of people's qi and blood, right? Underneath this house, there must be many buried skeletons."

"Hmph! Kid, you're quite perceptive. Are you from some family?"

"What if I am? What if I'm not?" Xu Hao replied with a light smile.

"If you weren't, I might have considered taking you as my disciple, as I find your bone structure to be quite good. But your every word and deed indicate that you definitely come from some family. Moreover, the cultivation technique you practice is different from mine. So, if your family learns of my existence, those self-righteous hypocrites from the right path will definitely come to wipe me out!"

A secret compartment slowly opened, and the old man's figure suddenly emerged, his face twisted into a savage smile as he said, "Therefore, you must die!"

Lei Qianjue and others were tremendously horrified at this moment. The old man looked just like any normal person, but he was surrounded by a faint, light red qi, and the blood-red orb in his hand made one feel as if they would be sucked into it, leaving them powerless.

Xu Hao examined the old man with interest and said, "Approaching the peak, nearly at Great Perfection, you're still some distance away from Grandmaster level."

"You can actually see my strength?"

The old man was astonished beyond measure. By normal standards, unless one's strength was at least a Great Realm higher, it was impossible to discern his own strength.

But there was another possibility!

The old man asked with astonishment, "You're under twenty-five, definitely not stronger than me, but you know my strength, so there's only one explanation: you are a person from the Jiangnan Shui Family!"

The old man's eyes flickered with a strange light as he coldly said, "Only the Jiangnan Shui Family, due to their special cultivation technique, can discern the strength of someone who is not three Great Realms higher. Boy, I have never dealt with the Shui Family before, but since you stepped into this room with malice, don't blame me for being rude!

If I let you go today, perhaps you would bring reinforcements from the Shui Family. The Shui Family has more than one Grandmaster Level Expert; I can't take that risk, nor will I make the mistake of letting a tiger return to the mountain. Boy, prepare to die!"

The old man was indeed someone who had struggled on the brink of life and death. Though he had lived comfortably in the Qian Family for three years, he had not forgotten his survival instincts, understanding well the strategy of capturing profits and eradicating dangers!

Therefore, without any hesitation, he activated his Qi Force and spurred the counterfeit Bloodthirsty orb!
