Konoha: On the night of the massacre, I summoned Inuyasha.

"Give me the resources?"

Yue's expression turned somewhat strange.

The Li family is one of the local tyrants in this small mountain town.

There are genuine martial artists among them.

Not long ago, before Yue had awakened her memories, the notorious head of the Li family happened to meet Zhao Bao'er, the younger sister of Yue's incarnation.

Driven by his desire to possess her, he decided to take her as a concubine.

This man's whim turned into a nightmare for the Zhao family for days.

After being refused multiple times, the Li family directly sent a wicked servant to pile up the betrothal gifts at Zhao Ying's house.

This time, it was something I couldn't refuse.

How can an ordinary family, whose head of the household died several years ago, truly refuse a powerful rural clan in a world where martial prowess reigns supreme?

This is a world where as long as you have enough money, power, or strength, you can kill someone without taking responsibility.

"The strength should be about right."

With that half a pig and a large amount of grain as provisions, my body had been pushed to the point of superhuman strength, capable of lifting a thousand pounds.

A mere local tycoon in a small town—based on my limited understanding of this world, the strongest he could achieve was at the Bone Refinement stage.

Those who refine their bones have a strength of no more than two thousand catties.

If I still can't beat this, I might as well die and let my true self be forged into reality once more.

Yue chuckled, her eyes flashing with divine light.

Although he did not practice the illusory cultivation techniques he once knew, he still did not hesitate to use some small methods to improve his physical condition by consuming food.

Moreover, regardless of the type of martial arts training, physical constitution is an extremely important factor.

Those with strong physiques will naturally cultivate faster.

Of course, there are limits to human capabilities. Without engaging in cultivation, increasing one's physical strength by several thousand kilograms using ordinary food is already considered the limit.

However, given Yue's current family circumstances, her immense strength is already the only thing in the family, and this was only after the Li family thoughtfully provided half a pig.

"Therefore, it's better to do things sooner rather than later."

"Tonight we'll wipe out the Li family, and while we're at it, relieve Mother and my younger sister from their worries and fears."

Without any hesitation, Yue glanced at the sky, then went out to look at his younger sister and mother's room not far away. Gathering his equipment, he quietly left.

The body of Yue, belonging to Zhao Ying, was truly born from her mother's womb and has grown to this day.

Even though her memory was not fully restored at the time, Yue still acknowledged the relationship between her mother and younger sister.

...............

Night, pitch black.

The full moon hangs high, bringing a faint light to this dark world.

At this moment, the moon is obscured by dark clouds.

A slightly thin figure slowly walked into the shadows outside the Li family mansion.

A long sword was slung across his waist, a dagger was stuck in his leg, and a slightly worn longbow was on his back.

This is the spare hunter equipment from Yue's biological father. The young man who lived in her memories disappeared into the vast wilderness when Yue was less than ten years old and had not yet awakened her memories. He never came out again.

After that day, the Zhao family, who were originally quite wealthy in this small mountain town, fell into poverty at an alarming rate.

She, a mother, alone bears the responsibility of raising two children.

After all, the so-called small mountain town is actually named because it is a small town located on the outermost edge of the Tianxuan Mountain Range.

There are many hunters and few farmers among them; only young men with some fighting skills can support a family's survival.

A typical nouveau riche mansion, lacking the grandeur of a high-ranking official's residence or the elegance of a scholar's home; it simply and crudely pursues extravagance, and...

Big!

As one of the wealthiest families in the small mountain town, they even had a guard standing watch at their gate late at night.

Of course, at this moment, the guards had already leaned against the gate and entered a state of dozing.

In this small mountain town, who would dare to provoke the Li family?

With too much peace, the Li family's guarding was more of a routine matter.

call out!

A rather noticeable sound rang out in the night—the sound of an arrow piercing flesh.

The guard suddenly opened his previously drowsy eyes wide, and died in a daze.

The moon's silhouette has emerged from the shadows of the dark clouds.

Under the moonlight, he slowly pushed open the door of the Li family's house.

Beside him lay the corpse of the guard, who died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

A long arrow was stuck in his head.

One eye was wide open in anger, yet it appeared utterly bewildered.

His other eye had been pierced by an arrow.

"Ha, the perfect infiltration is to kill everyone who sees me."

Yue drew his arrow and entered the Li family's residence. Looking up, he saw a large courtyard shrouded in darkness.

He found the right direction and headed towards the area most likely to be the bedroom of the Li family patriarch.

As for what if you go to the wrong place?

Ah, then let's try going in another direction.

The night remained quiet.

The moon passed by several houses, circled a garden, and arrived at a rather elegant courtyard.

Compared to the Li family's overall ostentatious style, this small courtyard appears much more refined.

"This doesn't look like the place where Master Li lives."

But it doesn't matter.

Yue slowly drew an arrow from the quiver on her back.

Step into the courtyard.

Under the moonlight, delicate flowers can be faintly seen, dotting the emerald green landscape.

"It seems there's nobody here?"

Yue raised an eyebrow slightly and gently opened the door to the main house.

However, at that very moment, an extremely swift figure pounced from the side, carrying a fierce killing intent.

Suddenly, it sounded as if bones and muscles were cracking, producing a piercing sound.

"Ah, just as I thought..."

Moreover, it's actually bone refining?

With a quick turn of her feet, Yue easily dodged the attacker's sudden attack.

Then, he nocked an arrow onto his longbow, and then...

call out!

An arrow struck, piercing the man's back.

Yue then threw down her longbow, drew her longsword from her waist, and slashed fiercely at the man's neck.

Under the moonlight, the rust on the long sword was faintly visible.

This is what is called the tetanus knife.

To avoid causing her mother and younger sister further worry, Yue didn't even bother to polish the longsword that had been idle for several years.

A head, its eyes wide open in death, fell to the side, still filled with confusion and resentment.

She couldn't understand why such a seemingly cunning thief could so easily kill her, a martial artist at the Bone Refining stage.

She, a girl who could be considered a prodigy even in the city, would easily die in such a rural place.

"Senior brother..."

He murmured to himself, as darkness enveloped his vision.

Yue looked at the pretty and delicate-looking girl who had fallen not far away and tilted her head slightly.

"Killing his sister to establish a path?"

Yue couldn't help but make a comment.

He never expected that his second drop of blood would come from such a beautiful young girl.

"Does the Li family have a young girl with such cultivation?"

Yue frowned and walked forward to examine the headless corpse of the girl.

"Stone-Smashing Palm?"

"A skill book actually dropped!"

With the intention of not leaving empty-handed, Yue searched the girl's bulging body and found a martial arts manual.

"The Stone-Shattering Palm seems to be the signature martial art of the Stone-Shattering Martial Arts School in Zhenshan City."

So, this girl comes from Zhenshan City, the Broken Stone Pavilion?

After all, based on my understanding of this world, martial arts are confined to disciples and could never be passed on to the outside world.

Unless, of course, the person who spread the sect's martial arts were trying to kill those they taught, and...

Himself.

Yue stroked her chin and guessed.
