The experience from the first-person perspective.

Lin Qianxuan could even feel the sensations coming from this body.

But he couldn’t actively control the body.

At this moment, he was located inside a residential area of a city, and through the window, he could see the sky outside quickly turning gray.

The dark gray gases stained the entire land, and countless people in the city underwent drastic transformations, their limbs twisting, muscles swelling, and veins bulging.

“Sister, what is that…..”

Gongsun Ying turned her head, and Lin Qianxuan also saw the young Gongsun Yue beside her.

Just as she was about to say something, the dark gray murkiness swept over like a tidal wave.

In that instant, a piercing pain struck.

Yet Gongsun Ying’s gaze remained fixed on her sister. At this moment, her sister’s eyes were hit by the murky air, causing her to close them tightly in pain, blood seeping from them.

“Sister, my eyes hurt so much….”

Gongsun Yue groped around, appearing to be in great pain.

“Yue’Er….”

Despite the pain spreading throughout her body, Gongsun Ying gritted her teeth and stepped forward to grab her sister’s hand.

“Let’s go find Dad and Mom….”

She pulled her sister out of the bedroom and into the living room.

However, the sight before her eyes caused her to be greatly shocked, even ignoring the pain in her body.

Her parents were also tainted by the murk, their faces ferocious, with veins bulging and muscles grotesquely inflated and twisted.

“Dad, Mom, is it you? Sister, where are you?”

Momentarily dazed, Gongsun Yue drifted away from Gongsun Ying’s grasp, fumbling around, searching for something to rely on.

Gongsun Ying wanted to speak, but the pain grew even more intense, spreading to her mind.

She faintly sensed that in the depths of her consciousness, a special force was forcibly chiseling open a crevice.

What is it?

She didn’t know, and didn’t want to know.

The pain surged through her entire body. She curled up in agony, holding her head, and with a hoarse voice, she desperately looked towards Gongsun Yue’s location.

“Yue…Er….don’t go…”

The words came too late, as Gongsun Yue was already grabbed by their mother, who then bit her shoulder.

“Dad, Mom…it hurts….”

This cry aroused the previously dazed father, who grabbed Gongsun Yue’s right leg, about to bite down.

Gongsun Ying’s gaze fell on the broom not far away. She endured the pain, got up, and swung the broom hard.

Bam~!

With just one strike, she directly knocked her father back.

Then she swung the broom again, hitting her mother’s head and knocking her off Gongsun Yue’s shoulder.

After doing this, she kicked her mother and managed to pull Gongsun Yue away, protecting her behind her.

The pain in her body intensified, and her heart was filled with fear and confusion.

But she still gritted her teeth, glaring at the monstrous parents.

“They…. are no longer our parents….”

Gongsun Ying seemed to comprehend something.

Soon, the murk-tainted couple once again lunged forward fiercely.

Though affected by the murk, Gongsun Ying’s strength seemed to have increased significantly. With the broomstick in hand, she quickly repelled them after a few strikes, one of which landed on her mother’s neck with a snap, causing her head to tilt to one side, no longer moving.

This scene left Gongsun Ying momentarily stunned, her body trembling slightly.

But there was no time to think, as her father rushed forward again, and she struck the same spot once more.

This solid wood broom completed a double kill.

Gongsun Ying collapsed to the ground, her expression filled with confusion and horror.

Even though they had become monsters, the feeling of personally killing her own parents was still unbearable.

“Sister, what happened to Dad and Mom?”

Gongsun Yue’s voice brought Gongsun Ying back to her senses a bit.

She didn’t have the heart to reveal the truth, so she simply said, “It’s nothing, Dad and Mom just aren’t here. There were two bad people just now, but I’ve driven them away.”

Gongsun Yue, unable to see anything and so young, naturally believed what Gongsun Ying said.

“Sister, my eyes hurt so much….” Gongsun Yue said.

“Wait a little while, when Dad and Mom come back, we’ll go to the hospital together.” Gongsun Ying comforted her.

After closing the door tight, Gongsun Ying waited until nightfall, with the pain in her body almost entirely gone. She found something from the cupboard at home for her sister to eat, then looked outside through the window.

The street was devoid of people, leaving only a scene of devastation.

She decided to wait longer.

This wait lasted three days.

During this time, although Gongsun Yue still couldn’t see, she could vaguely sense the situation in the room, and knowing the truth about her sister killing their parents, her heart was filled with complex emotions.

The food at home was nearly gone.

She had no choice but to leave home in search of food.

Leaving her sister alone at home felt unsafe, so she decided to take her along.

A seven-year-old and a five-year-old.

Thus, the two little girls walked along the desolate streets.

“Be careful, sister, there’s something coming from the left!” Gongsun Yue called out.

Gongsun Ying turned her head and saw that indeed a corrupt hound was charging towards her.

The broom in her hand swept out quickly, accurately smashing the dog’s head, turning it into a pulp.

During this time, she felt a special energy spreading from her mind to her whole body.

This caused her to gain strength increasingly swiftly.

The two sisters journeyed onward, soon finding food and feasting.

But this was merely a beginning.

With the arrival of heavy snow, much of the food in the city became spoiled and unpalatable, and many areas were guarded by powerful corrupt spirits. Had it not been for Gongsun Yue’s early warning, they might have lost their lives there.

Food became increasingly difficult to find, and as more corrupt Qi emerged, the corrupt spirits became even stronger, forcing them to leave the city and move towards areas unaffected by the corrupt Qi.

Outside, the number of corrupt spirits was vast, and it was also challenging to find food.

Finally, Gongsun Ying found herself trapped by a group of corrupt spirits.

During her strike against one spirit, her battle-worn stick broke apart.

Truthfully, the fact it lasted this long already speaks volumes about the craftsman’s skill.

Life-and-death danger loomed near, yet at this moment, a Bronze Walking Stick swept away several spirits, quickly breaking through the encirclement.

Gao Ming and his Rebel Army emerged.

Soon, the surrounding corrupt spirits were cleared away, and Gao Ming approached Gongsun Ying.

“I am Gao Ming, from now on, you are my adopted daughters. It is no longer safe here. Come with me to a safer place.” Gao Ming smiled, offering food to the two girls.

—————–

Lin Qianxuan’s consciousness detached from his memories, looking at Gongsun Ying in front of him; the image of the little girl in his mind hadn’t changed. In a surge of emotion, he suddenly couldn’t help but pat her head.

“You’ve had it tough too,” Lin Qianxuan lamented.

At only seven years old, forced to kill her corrupt parents by hand and then protect her sister all the way out of the city.

In the midst of it all, Lin Qianxuan, as someone who experienced these memories firsthand, understands this better than anyone else.

“Master Lin!”

Gongsun Ying didn’t immediately realize what Lin Qianxuan intended, so she didn’t avoid him.

Her face turned slightly red.

“Sorry, I acted impulsively, that was rude…” Lin Qianxuan also paused for a second, then quickly withdrew his hand.

How could a head pat be used on a woman older than oneself?

This was a serious strategy error!

Luckily, the goodwill is high now; it shouldn’t result in any negative consequences.

Gongsun Ying avoided Lin Qianxuan’s gaze, making an excuse to leave, “Master Lin, I have other matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave.”

With that, she hurriedly left.

She clearly felt goodwill toward Lin Qianxuan, but she couldn’t let this goodwill grow and take root.

For she carried a heavier responsibility on her shoulders, and her personal feelings seemed all the more insignificant in comparison.

Thus, she would not let herself get lost in it.

Lin Qianxuan sighed, turning back to continue his cultivation at his residence.

“Qilin Body Tempering Skill” combined with “Immortal Divine Body Skill” is incredibly effective.

Especially now, gaining Gongsun Ying’s first Sound Talisman, his Divine Energy’s concentration increased directly by fifty percent.

Efficiency had greatly improved as well.

The Qi and Blood surged in Lin Qianxuan’s body like rivers, while crimson divine light flickered around him, the strength of his flesh becoming almost visibly enhanced.

Simply converting to strength increase terms, it was about one pound of strength every few dozen seconds.

With a day’s cultivation, the strength could grow by about a ton.

The pinnacle external exercises in ancient martial arts novels scarcely reached a thousand pounds of force; Lin Qianxuan’s growth was remarkably exaggerated.

A pity that, if he could fully conquer Gongsun Ying to obtain other Sound Talismans and [Supreme Martial Arts], coupled with the Emperor Sword of the Universal Simulation, absent consideration of body absorption limits, the day’s cultivation effects might be achieved in less than two minutes.

…

Time passed during Lin Qianxuan’s cultivation.

At noon, Gongsun Yue came again to deliver food, and incidentally conveyed a message from Bo Mu.

Bo Mu’s desire to learn the “Supreme Sword Technique” could hardly be contained.

Lin Qianxuan noticed, after this incident, Gongsun Yue’s goodwill seemed to have increased as well.

Reached about twenty-five percent.

With such a high level of goodwill, he felt there was no need to truly beat the Purple Bamboo Prince; soon he could obtain the first Sound Talisman.

After Gongsun Yue left, Lin Qianxuan planned to further attempt the Eyes of Death.

After all, with the talent acquired, if unused, relying on last-minute preparation might lead to immediate failure.

With a thought, Lin Qianxuan’s eyes turned hollow, tendrils extending within, his Divine Energy rapidly depleting, focusing on a teacup.

A red dot appeared on the teacup.

Lin Qianxuan flicked a finger, causing a droplet of water to fly out, landing on the red dot.

The power of this water droplet was not strong; it could even be considered weak, similar to a person’s finger flick, but at the moment of contact, the teacup shattered instantly.

This weak point rupture effect is indeed impressive.

“By the way, Master, sister said there’s a banquet tonight to welcome the newcomers….”

Gongsun Yue originally returned to inform Lin Qianxuan of the feast tonight, but witnessing Lin Qianxuan with eyes full of tendrils, she froze.

Lin Qianxuan was equally stunned.

While experimenting with the Purpose of Death, focusing intently, he truly hadn’t noticed Gongsun Yue had returned.

For a moment, both were somewhat bewildered.
