Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Clang!

He casually smashed the oil lamp, igniting the nearby curtains.

Then, Gu Yuan went out and headed straight for the study.

Killing Qian Yunjie was nothing; the key was Qian Cheng, the head of the Qian family, who held the greatest power within the Qian clan!

The Qian family had thousands of members, definitely a considerable force!

According to Gu Yuan's previous investigations, although Qian Cheng was the patriarch of the Qian family, a figure who had the final say, the second, third, and fourth branches below, as well as other collateral relatives, were not harmonious with each other and often engaged in infighting.

Only Qian Cheng's suppression prevented any major disturbances.

But once Qian Cheng, the head of the family, died, the Qian mansion, and even the entire Qian clan, would fall into chaos.

At that time, the entire Qian mansion would definitely be too busy to deal with themselves, vying for power and profit, where would they have the energy to find trouble with him?!

To put it another way, even if someone managed to spare the effort to find trouble with Gu Yuan, the threat posed by a Qian mansion caught in internal strife would be greatly reduced!

Besides, the Qian mansion was a well-known prominent family in Beiliang County, and they must have a lot of good things.

Gu Yuan had finally made a trip to the Qian mansion, so naturally, he couldn't return empty-handed!

Before long, he arrived outside a room.

At this moment, faint cries could already be heard from behind:

"Help!"

"It's bad, there's a fire! Someone, come and put out the fire!"

The voices were noisy, accompanied by bursts of fire and thick smoke, in the night, many people in the Qian mansion were awakened.

Some movement also came from the study in front of Gu Yuan, and a steady voice said:

"Fengping, go and see what's happening outside!"

"Yes, Master!"

A moment later, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in black walked out.

This man was not tall, with a stern face, especially his hands, with thick, powerful knuckles!

The moment he saw this man, a name appeared in Gu Yuan's mind—Qian Fengping!

A member of the Qian clan, and one of the two enshrined experts of the Qian mansion, skilled in palm techniques, his 'Great Stone Crushing Palm' was incomparably fierce!

Clang!

Gu Yuan stepped forward, the long sword in his palm vibrated, and the cold sword light flashed, directly stabbing towards Qian Fengping's chest!

Chirp—

This sword was extremely fast!

Very fast!

Qian Fengping only felt a blur before his eyes, and a chilling light, wrapped in a strong killing intent, rushed towards him!

His mind trembled!

Although he had reached the Bone Refinement stage, and his famous stunt, the 'Great Stone Crushing Palm,' was well-known in Beiliang County, he was still a step slower in the face of this sudden sword, only managing to reach out and block it in front of him, before the long sword pierced through his palm!

Pfft!

The sword light's momentum did not diminish, piercing through his heart.

Then, Gu Yuan took another step forward, bent his body to gather strength, and punched out.

Boom!

The force of the punch howled, as if a strong wind had risen, Gu Yuan's fist slammed into him like an iron hammer, accompanied by the sound of cracking bones, Qian Fengping's eyes bulged, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, and his whole body flew out, smashing the wooden door behind him.

He landed on the ground, staring with his eyes wide open, motionless, already lifeless.

Gu Yuan took advantage of the situation and stepped into the study, only to see a middle-aged man staring at him in astonishment.

The middle-aged man had a handsome face, wearing a robe, revealing a bit of refinement, with bright eyes, and looked quite extraordinary.

This person was Qian Cheng, the head of the Qian mansion, and also the patriarch of the Qian clan!

But being able to indulge his son's violence and raise a son like Qian Yunjie was obviously not a good thing!

"Stop! Who are you?!"

At this time, the middle-aged man stared at Gu Yuan who walked in in astonishment, and then shouted loudly, with a stern voice and expression.

Gu Yuan had no intention of wasting words with him at all.

Boom!

His feet shook, and his strength erupted, even the solid bluestone floor cracked and shattered.

Taking advantage of this step, Gu Yuan rushed out in one step, crossing the distance of several feet, and poured all his strength into the long sword.

Buzz buzz buzz—buzz buzz buzz—

The sharp sword forged from a hundred refined iron, at this time, seemed to be unable to bear it, the sword body buzzed loudly, making a violent tremor.

Then, under Qian Cheng's horrified eyes, it pierced his heart with one sword, and lifted his whole person up, nailing him to the wall!

"You!"

Qian Cheng opened his mouth, but a stream of blood gushed out, staining his clothes red.

Bang! Bang!

He tried his best to raise his arms, and there was a faint sound of mechanical parts trembling inside.

"Not good!"

Gu Yuan was startled, and before he could pull out his long sword, he dodged to the side and flew back.

At this moment, several extremely fast arrows flew out of Qian Cheng's sleeves,

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The arrows cut through the air, turning into streaks of black shadows, easily piercing through the solid bluestone floor and sinking into the ground.

Gu Yuan was terrified by this scene.

He didn't expect that Qian Cheng actually had such a terrifying hidden weapon on him.

The bluestone floor was thick and hard, but under these few sleeve arrows, it was not much stronger than tofu, and was easily pierced through.

If he hadn't avoided it just now, he would have had several blood holes through his body.

"Hateful! I couldn't kill you!"

Seeing that all his sleeve arrows had missed, Qian Cheng's face was full of resentment and unwillingness, and then his arms drooped weakly, his breath faint.

"There's nothing hateful or unhateful, blame yourself for failing to teach your son and harming the lives of many people! I have already sent Qian Yunjie to take the first step, and now, you can go and accompany your son."

Gu Yuan strode over and slapped him on the forehead.

Pfft!

Hit by Gu Yuan's palm, Qian Cheng's whole body shook, and then his head drooped down as if his bones had been pulled away.

His head seemed intact, but in fact, it had been shaken into a paste by his gentle force.

Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!

At this time, A'Huang, who had climbed onto the nearby bookshelf, called out to Gu Yuan.

While calling, his two front paws alternately pulled on a porcelain vase above, and his sharp claws scratched the porcelain, making a harsh "creak creak" sound.

But no matter how much he pulled, the porcelain vase would not fall!

At the same time, a strange emotional fluctuation entered Gu Yuan's mind.

"Oh, are you saying that Qian Cheng's scent is strongest on this porcelain vase?"

Gu Yuan pulled out his long sword, let Qian Cheng's body fall to the ground, he didn't look at it any more, and strode over.

Seeing that the porcelain vase was unusual, he reached out and twisted it.

Crack crack crack!

A wall in the distance suddenly cracked at this time, and then a door popped out.

There was a secret room inside!

To prevent accidents, Gu Yuan first let the smaller A'Huang go in to explore the way, and after confirming that there was no problem, he walked in.

The space inside was not large, and there were two iron boxes, one large and one small.

There were several things in the large iron box, including two sharp weapons, a knife and a sword, and some bright gold and silver jewelry, shining with dazzling light.

The small iron box contained several martial arts secret books, and a stack of banknotes of varying denominations.

Gu Yuan didn't take a closer look, took out the easy-to-carry things from the small box and put them in his arms, then moved the big box out, then turned his eyes and looked at the bookshelf.
