Chapter 162 Cheating [3rd update, please vote with double monthly tickets!]

Qingzhu Lake.

Lady Wang was overcome with grief.

Seeing themselves and the Han family prosper, the Four Symbols Sword Sect has become incredibly powerful in the past two years.

But who would have thought that her family would be brutally murdered!
"Father is dead."

"Grandpa died too."

"The entire clansmen are dead!"

Wang Hong'er hugged Madam Wang and wept uncontrollably: "Aunt, only a few of us are left in the Wang family!"

Madam Wang was also crying: "I was planning to go back to Songxi to see my father and mother after things settled down in Qingzhu Lake, but, but!"

Madam Wang held her mother's hand, tears streaming down her face, unable to utter another word.

Over the years, she did harbor some resentment towards her father for marrying her off to Han Fu in exchange for the Wang family's prosperity, but judging from the past two years, the outcome has been good, and the future will be even happier and more fulfilling.

She had hoped that as the Four Symbols Sword Sect grew stronger and her own power increased, she could finally give back to the Wang family, which would bring her, Wang Yan, some glory.

Can!
But how did the Wang family suddenly become wiped out?
Sobbing, Madam Wang gritted her teeth in hatred: "Who on earth is so heartless and insane! I swear I will wipe out their entire family to avenge my father!"

Madam Li was already too grief-stricken to speak.

Madam Qin said angrily, "They are the 'One Cave of Ghosts' from Songshan!"

Worried that his aunt might not know, Wang Xuanfu added, "Songshan is more than two thousand miles away from Songxi. The 'Songshan One Cave Ghosts' consists of ten people who practice the art of raising and controlling ghosts. Their methods are bizarre and their abilities are extremely strong. They originally had no dealings with each other, but because an elder of the clan passed through Songshan a few days ago and had a conflict with them, these ten ghosts actually came to Songxi and caused the annihilation of the entire clan!"

As the eldest grandson of the Wang family and the recognized next head of the Songxi Wang family, Wang Xuanfu couldn't contain his anger when he mentioned this matter, and he felt extremely frustrated.

It's truly hateful that 'Songshan One Cave Ghost' made such a big fuss over such a trivial conflict, where no one on either side even died!

After hearing this, Madam Wang realized that the "Songshan Cave Ghosts" were indeed capable. There were ten of them, each raising one of ten different types of ghosts: Long-Bearded Ghost, Big-Headed Ghost, Evil Ghost, Impermanent Ghost, Funeral Ghost, Smiling Ghost, Death-Taking Ghost, Hanging Ghost, Pretty Ghost, and Debt-Collecting Ghost. The ten of them were of one mind and worked together. If they attacked together, hundreds or thousands of evil ghosts would swarm up and claim their lives.

Only ten people actually took action.

But the family was wiped out by hundreds of evil spirits.

The Wang family of Songxi was quite powerful, but when faced with the relentless, incessant, and bizarre attacks of those evil spirits, they were defeated in less than half a day.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

Fortunately, the old patriarch of the Wang family, seeing that the situation was not good, had his wife lead his son, grandson and others to escape through the secret passage of the house in time, thus preserving a ember for the Wang family.

"A den of demons in Songshan!"

Lady Wang drew her sword, ready to charge.

Madam Qin quickly stopped her: "Don't be rash! We need to discuss this with your brother-in-law first."

It's hard for her to say.

Madam Li spoke frankly: "Two years ago, Qi Sheng offended the 'Dragon Head Qi Family,' one of the five surnames and seven noble families of the Netherworld Sect, and betrayed the Netherworld Sect. The Qi family could not catch up with Qi Sheng, and the Qi Zhen couple became hysterical. They even went to Chang Weishan to fight, but were defeated by their son-in-law who fought against two of them."

"In the past two years, many of the Qi family's businesses outside have been wiped out by Qi Sheng, who appears and disappears like a ghost."

"Qi Sheng is elusive and these two can't catch him."

"He's trying to cause trouble for his in-laws, but he can't beat my son-in-law in a fight."

"You can imagine how frustrated and angry he was."

Madam Li had reason to speculate: "Since they couldn't do anything to that father-in-law and son-in-law, they secretly sent the 'Songshan Ghosts' to annihilate my Wang family to vent their anger!"

……

In the end, Madam Wang did not impulsively seek revenge against "The Demon of Songshan Cave" alone with her sword. After much deliberation...

To be on the safe side, she ordered Yong Weimin to lead ten swordsmen to escort her mother and her entourage to Changwei Mountain, two thousand miles away, without letting them linger at Qingzhu Lake, fearing that the Songshan Yiku Gui would come after them and she would be unable to protect them.

The group set off early the next morning.

Four or five days later, we arrived at Cangshi Mountain.

Yong Weimin explained to Madam Li and the others: "Cangshi Mountain was originally occupied by Liehuo Sanren. He had gone to Wanku Ridge to deal with the Han family, but was defeated and forced to retreat by that 'lawless' man. After the sect leader established the Four Symbols Sword Sect, he came to Cangshi Mountain alone with his sword to subdue Liehuo Sanren. Now, Liehuo Sanren is an elder of the 'Wanfa Palace,' one of the four palaces in the sect, and serves under the sect leader. Since then, Cangshi Mountain has become a property of the sect, and is now under the jurisdiction of Madam Shi, the 'Peach Blossom Sword Demon,' the sword leader of the Sixth Sword Pavilion."

Everyone knows about Madam Shi. She was originally the wife of the Valley Master of Sanyang Valley in Changwei Mountain. Later, she was taken in by Han Fu and entered the Han family. After the Han family was reorganized into the Four Phases Sword Sect, Madam Shi was taught the Sixth Form of Sorrowful Clouds. Because of her foundation in the previous Peach Blossom Seven Kill Sword, her swordsmanship improved very quickly. She quickly mastered the sixth form and was appointed by Han Fu as the head of the Sixth Sword Pavilion, stationed in Cangshi Mountain.

Madam Shi is an absolute core member of the Four Phases Sword Sect.

Not only is she the head of the swords, but her only daughter, Qiu Ling, was taken in as a disciple by Jing Gu, the master of the Swords Palace. Her swordsmanship has grown rapidly, and she was given a flying sword. Now her swordsmanship is almost at its peak, and she serves as the head of the sixth sword pavilion in the sect.

Qiu Ling.

Mrs. Shi.

The mother and daughter are both sword masters, and Jing Gu, the master of the Sword Arts Palace, one of the four palaces, is also Qiu Ling's master.

This lineage is actually the largest among the Four Phases Sword Sects besides the original Han family. In fact, if the sect leader Han Fu were not the head of the Han family, this lineage would have two sword masters and one palace master. In terms of prestige, it could even be called the number one lineage among the Four Phases Sword Sects.

As Madam Li listened to Yong Weimin introduce Madam Shi and the current Four Phases Sword Sect, she was filled with doubt. She pulled her daughter-in-law, Madam Qin, aside and whispered, "The Four Phases Sword Sect now has four sword masters and one palace master. Apart from Yan'er and Third Aunt, they are all outsiders, all women. Is this Four Phases Sword Sect still the Han family?"

Madam Qin said, "As long as my brother-in-law is here, the Four Symbols Sword Sect will always belong to the Han family, so Mother doesn't need to worry."

Madam Li sighed: "What I'm worried about is not the loss of power in the Four Phases Sword Sect, but that my son-in-law won't be able to keep it. Don't forget, he took a second wife back then, and now he's confidently handing over these important positions to Jinggu, Madam Shi, and Qiu Ling, while sending your sister away and keeping Jinggu and Qiu Ling behind. What are they planning? Have you thought about it?"

"..."

Madam Qin remained silent for a while, unable to refute.

From the perspective of the Wang family in Songxi, Han Fu was indeed not a devoted person, and her mother-in-law's concern was not unfounded. It's only natural for a mother to worry about her daughter being wronged.

But these days are different.

Madam Qin said, "This is inevitable. My brother-in-law couldn't resist it when he was mediocre, so now—"

"The Yang Demon of the Hehuan Sect."

"Master Suyu of Baihua Mountain".

"Qi Zhen and his wife from the Netherworld Sect."

“Which of these people isn’t a patriarch-level figure? Yet none of them are a match for my brother-in-law.”

"My brother-in-law has become a powerful figure in the region."

She comforted her mother-in-law, saying, "As long as he still puts his sister-in-law first, there's no need to dwell on other trivial matters."

Yes!

What cat doesn't steal fish?
Madam Li sighed deeply and said no more.

At this time.

On Cangshi Mountain, Madam Shi received the news and hurried down the mountain to greet them. A fragrant breeze wafted from afar and landed in front of Madam Li, Madam Qin, and others. It was a delicate and timid middle-aged beauty.

It was none other than the Sword Master of the Sixth Sword Pavilion of the Four Phases Sword Sect, the Master of Cangshi Mountain, and the wife of the Valley Master of Sanyang Valley—

'Peach Blossom Sword Demon' Madam Shi!
