"Boom! Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Pedestrians in Haitang City looked up at the sky in confusion.
"What's wrong with the weather? It changed so suddenly?"
"It's going to rain, let's go, hurry home and take in the clothes."
"Such dark clouds, it looks like there will be a heavy downpour tonight."
Pedestrians on the street quickened their pace and ran towards their homes.
In less than a quarter of an hour, raindrops began to pour down from the sky.
As time passed, the entire Haitang City was covered in dark clouds, the rain grew heavier, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and only the helpless complaints and hurried footsteps of pedestrians remained on the streets.
"Shi Quan, did you do this?" Dugu Bo looked suspiciously at the torrential rain falling from the sky, his gaze falling on Shi Quan.
Shi Quan smiled, "Grandpa Dugu, how could I have such great ability?"
Gu Yuena smiled without speaking.
Although this torrential rain was not Shi Quan's doing, it was inextricably linked to him.
This was Heavenly Luck; the power of Douluo Star's destiny on his body had the subtle ability to change the weather in a certain place. Although it was not 100% successful, the stronger Shi Quan's will, the higher the possibility.
This sudden downpour was a manifestation of the power of Heavenly Luck.
"A dark and stormy night, the best time for murder and revenge." Shi Quan slowly stood up, "You all enter my hundred treasure pouch first."
With that, Shi Quan placed everyone into the hundred treasure pouch one by one.
The Soul Martial Spirit appeared behind Shi Quan, and seven brilliant spirit rings emerged. With the spirit rings restrained, Shi Quan's figure instantly transformed into a phantom and disappeared into the rainy night.
Shi Quan's figure moved through the streets like a ghost.
His Spirit Sense spread out. Even on a stormy night, twenty guards were still on patrol duty within the Nine Heart Begonia Family.
"What in the world is going on with this weather? It suddenly started raining so heavily." A patrolling soldier couldn't help but complain.
"We can only blame our bad luck." Another soldier also looked helpless.
These soldiers were all ordinary people. Shi Quan's Spirit Sense quickly scanned the entire Nine Heart Begonia Family. There were roughly 1,200 people in the Family, and the number of Spirit Masters was less than 300.
The remaining 900 people were mostly ordinary servants, and the others were some guard soldiers.
The residences of the Spirit Masters were mostly concentrated in the five central areas, with not much distance between each area.
Shi Quan's current mental force strength surpassed most Titled Douluo. The strongest in the Nine Heart Begonia Family was only a Spirit Douluo, so they naturally couldn't detect Shi Quan's probing.
Shi Quan was not interested in these ordinary soldiers; he only wanted to kill the Spirit Masters.
Bypassing these patrolling soldiers, Shi Quan's ghost-like figure quickly infiltrated the core area of the Nine Heart Begonia Family.
"First Spirit Ability, Dream Ripple!"
A silver light flashed in Shi Quan's eyes, and his mental force transformed into an invisible ripple that spread from his body, continuously expanding in all directions until it covered the rooms of most Spirit Masters.
By relying on his powerful mental force, the range of Dream Ripple was amplified by Shi Quan to an extremely terrifying extent.
As the range greatly increased, the effect of Dream Ripple also weakened significantly, but precisely because of this, it was even less likely to be detected.
Shi Quan narrowed his eyes, not in a hurry, quietly waiting.
Time passed by minute by minute. It was already deep night, and these Spirit Masters were either already sleeping or Cultivating. Everyone was subtly affected by the Dream Ripple, and gradually more and more Spirit Masters fell into slumber.
It wasn't until an hour later that Shi Quan slowly opened his eyes, "It's about time."
One Qi Transforming into Three Purities.
Shi Quan's figure split into three. His main body wielded the Soul Martial Spirit to oversee the overall situation, while his Incarnations controlled the Earth Martial Soul and the Blue Silver Emperor Tree Martial Spirit.
The two Domains were contained within, and the aura around his body was perfectly integrated, quickly merging into the mansion.
At the same time, Shi Quan also released Gu Yuena and Dugu Bo from the hundred treasure pouch.
"Gu Yuena, you go deal with the Spirit Douluo on the left. Grandpa Dugu, you come with me to deal with the other Spirit Douluo."
Besides the visible Spirit Douluo, Shi Quan's investigation revealed that another Spirit Douluo was hidden within the Nine Heart Begonia Family.
With Gu Yuena's strength, it wasn't difficult to silently kill a Spirit Douluo, but it would be challenging for Dugu Bo to achieve the same. However, with Shi Quan's help, it became much simpler.
After transmitting the distribution information of the Spirit Masters to the two with his Spirit Sense, Shi Quan moved with Dugu Bo.
"Grandpa Dugu, this way." Under Shi Quan's lead, the two arrived on the rooftop.
"Wait for the thunder." Shi Quan looked at the sky, and Dugu Bo immediately understood.
"Boom!"
As the thunder rumbled, Shi Quan and Dugu Bo moved simultaneously.
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Mental Impact, Mental Disorder!"
In terms of attack power, Tianmeng's sixth spirit ring's Mental Impact was undoubtedly Shi Quan's strongest mental attack Spirit Ability to date. Other Spirit abilities had some special attack effects, while Mental Impact was a pure attack Spirit Ability.
Mental Impact could instantly transform Shi Quan's immense mental force into a concentrated mental force to impact the enemy, causing a large amount of mental damage.
Combined with the ability of Mental Disorder, it could make the enemy mentally confused.
Even if the Spirit Douluo reacted quickly, Shi Quan's icy mental force directly pierced into his mind, severing his connection to his own Martial Spirit. Before he could even release his Martial Spirit, Dugu Bo's sinister figure had already broken through the roof and appeared in the room, taking a single stride to reach him.
A claw shot out, locking his throat. The Spirit Douluo instantly couldn't even breathe, his astonished eyes filled with fear.
"Du…" The Spirit Douluo could only barely utter one word before Dugu Bo directly snapped his neck.
"Shi Quan, your mental attack is quite strong. Even a Spirit Douluo couldn't react. If it weren't for you, I would have had to fight him." Dugu Bo grabbed the Spirit Douluo's corpse and threw it in front of Shi Quan.
Shi Quan smiled, directly putting the corpse into the hundred treasure pouch, and looked to the other side, "Gu Yuena's side is also resolved."
Both sides acted almost simultaneously. Gu Yuena's attack was more aggressive; a silver Dragon spear pierced out, and the Spirit Douluo didn't even react before he was buried under Gu Yuena's long spear.
The sound of the heavy rain and thunder became the best cover for the group.
In an instant, the two strongest individuals in the Nine Heart Begonia Family died silently at the hands of Gu Yuena, Dugu Bo, and Shi Quan.
"Let the assassination begin!" Shi Quan's cold voice came.
Gu Yuena and Dugu Bo also split up and acted. The assassination in the rainy night continued, and every scene was shared by Shi Quan's Spirit Sense with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling in the hundred treasure pouch.
Ye Lingling in the hundred treasure pouch had long been sobbing uncontrollably. Watching her hated Family members, or more accurately, the enemies who forced her parents to their deaths, perish one by one before her eyes, the emotions that had been suppressed in Ye Lingling's heart for many years completely erupted at this moment.
Ye Lingling's eyes were bloodshot. When faced with Shi Quan's question, Ye Lingling only gave one answer: kill!
The scene from back then was vivid in her mind. Ye Lingling couldn't forget the cold eyes of those people. Although they didn't kill her parents and grandparents, they all participated in the events of that time. These people were all among the instigators. It was clearly the Ye Family's Family, yet they allowed these outsiders to take charge. The unwillingness and resentment in her heart were completely unleashed.
Shi Quan and the others did not indiscriminately kill ordinary soldiers and servants.
However, when it came to these Spirit Masters, Shi Quan and the others showed no mercy whatsoever.
They were either directly turned into idiots by Shi Quan's Mental Impact.
Or directly entangled and suffocated by the Blue Silver Emperor Tree's vines.
Or crushed to death by the terrifying heavy pressure of the Earth power.
Shi Quan's current strength allowed him to easily fight even a Spirit Douluo, so ambushing Spirit Emperor and Spirit King in their sleep was naturally simple.
However, he had to hide his spirit power fluctuations and not cause too much noise.
The entire process, naturally, was much slower.
However, in less than an hour, only one strong individual above Spirit Emperor remained in the entire Nine Heart Begonia Family: Ye Liang, who possessed the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Spirit.
Shi Quan's hundred treasure pouch also gained sixty-eight more corpses.
After killing so many people, they were still not discovered.
Besides the rainy night, Shi Quan's hour-long hypnosis from Dream Ripple was also indispensable.
"That's enough, Shi Quan." Ye Lingling's slightly trembling voice came. Looking at this Family she both hated and grieved for, Ye Lingling finally called Shi Quan to a halt.
Shi Quan stopped and simultaneously informed Gu Yuena and Dugu Bo through Spirit Sense transmission.
"Have you thought it through?" Shi Quan transmitted to Ye Lingling.
"The Family's high-ranking members are all dead. The blow to the entire Family has reached an unprecedented level. Those who participated in that incident were some of the elders in the Family, and now they have all been killed. It's enough…" Ye Lingling's expression was somewhat dazed. There was a sense of relief from having avenged a great grudge, but also some confusion, unsure whether what she had done was right or wrong.
Shi Quan sensed that Ye Lingling's state was a bit off, and immediately comforted her, "Lingling, after today, you will have no more ties with the Nine Heart Begonia Family. The past is like smoke, everything has vanished. You don't need to have any psychological burden. This is the price they should pay. You are now a free little bird; the sky is vast for birds to fly, and there will be no more restraints on you in the future."
Ye Lingling nodded. Shi Quan and the other two gathered. Since they had come and killed so many people, Shi Quan naturally couldn't let go of the Nine Heart Begonia Family's treasury.
As a support Spirit Master Family focused on healing, over time, countless people owed their Family favors. Similarly, the Family had accumulated many treasures. When scanning with his Spirit Sense, Shi Quan discovered many special hidden compartments. Regardless of whether the items were useful, he collected them first. After the looting was complete, the group quietly left the Nine Heart Begonia Family.
