My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Inside the main hall of the East Palace, everyone stared blankly at the headless corpse that had been easily beheaded by the man in black robes, and they all involuntarily swallowed.

Not long ago, this prince was planning to go to the front lines to command troops, attack other cultivation forces, and expand the territory for his family. Now, however, he has simply died in the palace.

It should be noted that this headless prince was also at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he was beheaded by the black-robed man with a single sword strike. The difference in strength between the two was so great that it seemed like an illusion to them.

however,

The headless corpse's blood splattered into the faces of the others, a stark reality that told them the man in black before them was the ruthless, bloodthirsty Asura.

After being swept over by the black-robed man's icy gaze, the East Palace Hall fell silent; no one dared to utter a sound.

"What's wrong?"

"Are they all tough nuts to crack? Since none of you will talk, I'll kill them one by one until someone speaks up."

I'll count to three.

"If none of you speak, I'll just randomly kill someone."

Gu Qing stretched out his palm, and the spiritual energy in his palm transformed into sword-like roots, pressing against everyone's brows.

Feeling the unparalleled sharpness emanating from the roots of the sword energy, no one dared to move.

Gu Qing glanced at everyone and then softly uttered the word "three".

All the royal children in the palace were startled.

next moment.

With a "whoosh" sound, the head of the other person standing at the front was pierced by the emerald green sword energy roots.

The emerald green sword energy passed through, and the person chosen began to wither away. Their flesh and blood lost their vitality, and under everyone's gaze, they quickly turned into a skeleton made of skin and bones, their essence and spirit completely drained.

Everyone could only watch as the chosen person, in silent confinement, had their face contorted in agony, looking extremely painful and ferocious, yet unable to utter a single sound.

This silent suffocation sent chills down the spines of all the royal offspring in the East Palace.

"Such ruthless methods..."

Some people stared at the skeletons scattered on the ground and couldn't help but shudder.

Gu Qing observed the changes in these people's expressions.

He pointed to the person whose body was trembling the most and said, "You speak, tell me what you know, and I'll spare your life."

"Senior, I really don't know where the Azure Emperor Sword Manual you're looking for is."

The person chosen by Gu Qing had his vital point pressed against the sword energy root on his forehead, and he spoke with trembling lips.

"have no idea!"

"Then what's the point of keeping you around?"

Gu Qing frowned and, with a thought, the sword energy roots pierced through the head, causing the person to die in extreme fear and pain once again in front of everyone.

Seeing Gu Qing's ruthlessness and how he slaughtered them like animals, one of the older members of the royal family, head bowed, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes, suddenly spoke:

"He was alone, so everyone worked together and killed him."

All the royal descendants present were at the Foundation Establishment stage. Everyone understood that there was some truth to what was said, but not much. In the current situation, whoever made a move would die.

Hearing this man's hysterical and frantic roar, the other royal descendants around him all looked at each other in bewilderment, none of them daring to be the first to make a move.

Gu Qing turned around, staring at the person who had just spoken with a half-smile:

"Judging from your appearance, you hold a high position."

"I'm sure you know a lot of information. Tell me, and if you do well, I'll give you a quick death."

"Pooh."

"You won't get any useful information out of me..."

Gu Qing frowned slightly and said coldly, "You won't listen to reason, so I'll have to drink the penalty cup. I'd like to see just how tough you are."

Before he could finish speaking, a streak of emerald green sword energy pierced into the man's chest.

next moment.

The man's clothes were torn at the chest, and a lotus flower of blood and flesh bloomed from his chest. The lotus flower bloomed and withered. The man was in so much pain that his whole body convulsed, and his facial expression became uncontrollable, sometimes looking like he was crying and sometimes laughing.

A dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet tears flowed uncontrollably in front of everyone.

Looking at the royal offspring on the ground, too weak to even struggle, their bodies convulsing, the atmosphere in the East Palace Hall fell silent once more, a chilling cold penetrating straight to the soul.

No one dared to even breathe loudly.

The bizarre and alluring method of causing flesh and blood to bloom shocked everyone.

The person on the ground was still persisting, but with disheveled hair, he looked like a trapped beast in despair, his eyes filled with madness but not fear.

Gu Qing had a sudden thought and decided to increase the intensity of the effort.

next moment.

Even the bone fragments of the person on the ground began to sprout white bone lotus flowers.

"Are you going to tell us or not?"

"If you don't speak up, you'll end up like him."

Ignoring the hard bone on the ground, Gu Qing turned to the other royal offspring present.

Despite Gu Qing's pressure, everyone persisted.

They all understood that if they didn't reveal the information Gu Qing needed, they would still have a chance to survive. But if Gu Qing got the information she wanted, they would lose their only value, and their fate would be self-evident.

however,

Just then, a thin man stepped forward tremblingly: "I...I know where the second volume of the Azure Emperor Sword Manual is."

"I can tell you, but you must kill them all."

"Um?!"

Looking at the thin man who stepped forward, Gu Qing smiled slightly: "Interesting. You don't happen to want to become the next emperor, are you trying to use someone else to kill your rival?"

"No... I want to avenge my mother and my grandmother. The Wei family all deserve to die..."

"Wei Long, how dare you betray the Wei family!"

"You really are just like your mother and your grandmother, all despicable people. No wonder the ancestor turned you into a puppet..."

The man on the ground, who had been tortured to the point of near death, heard Wei Long's words and immediately seemed to have a sudden burst of energy before death, struggling and roaring.

"Noisy."

A murderous glint flashed in Gu Qing's eyes. The next moment, the stubborn Wei family descendant on the ground took root and sprouted, transforming into a sapling made of flesh and blood in the main hall.

Immediately, Gu Qing looked at the thin man and asked, "Do you know where the second volume of the Azure Emperor Sword Manual is?"

"I know."

"But I can't get into that place. It's where the Wei family's royal family collects all kinds of true teachings. You need a secret order from the emperor or the ancestor to get in."

"So troublesome?"

Hearing Gu Qing's whisper, a hint of pleasure flashed in the depths of the eyes of these Wei family descendants. What harm would it do to kill them?

In the end, this person's efforts were all for naught.

"Whoever has these two secret orders on them, hand them over, and I will spare your lives this time."

"Don't even think about it."

"The Wei family's True Dharma Pavilion is capable of withstanding attacks from cultivators at the Purple Mansion Realm. You dare to challenge us..."

"Bang—"

Before the man could finish speaking, a sword aura blasted him from his body into a cloud of blood mist.

"Kid, revenge is only meaningful when you do it yourself."

"Go, kill them all, then we'll go to the True Dharma Pavilion."

Gu Qing tossed a trash flying sword to the skinny man, then used his sword energy to seal the cultivation of the others.

The thin man picked up the flying sword, but still walked tremblingly toward the many Wei family descendants. With each sword strike, the more he killed, the more nimble his movements became.

Soon, his cowardice was replaced by ruthlessness.

"Senior, let's go."

"You're not bad, kid..."

Inside the main hall of the East Palace, there was no one left alive.

The two quickly disappeared from the spot.

A short while later, led by the thin man, Gu Qing arrived in front of the so-called True Dharma Pavilion.
