Upon learning that Liu Yansong had departed, Xiu Qiyan did not hesitate. He set off for Youzhou at once, determined to bring him back.
When he finally arrived in Youzhou, he found the Liu Family estate decimated. The ground was slick with blood, and bodies lay scattered in every direction—a silent, harrowing testament to a nightmarish tragedy. Xiu Qiyan rushed into the house, his heart frantic, searching through every cold corpse and turning over every corner of the property. When he finally confirmed that Liu Yansong was not among the dead, the weight on his chest lifted just a fraction. Despite his exhaustion, he pushed himself to spend an entire day personally laying the members of the Liu Family to rest.
After the funeral rites, Xiu Qiyan gathered information and discovered that it was the Shi Family who had slaughtered the Liu household; furthermore, they were currently hunting Liu Yansong down with relentless intensity. This news ignited a fury in Xiu Qiyan. Like a wild beast driven to madness, he hunted down every member of the Shi Family who had been sent out to track Liu Yansong. Each time he found them, he struck without mercy, killing them with ruthless precision.
