Chapter 329: Chapter 141: Handling Follow-up
"Crackle—Crackle—"
Fierce flames scorched the area where tall buildings once stood, leaving only boiling flames among the ruins. Under Qing Yu’s deliberate control, the fire spread to every corner, leaving no trace unchecked, striving to obliterate all clues completely.
’Had this been in my previous life, I ought to have been incarcerated long ago,’ Qing Yu thought quietly as he watched the fiery scene.
His eyes scrutinized every minute detail until he finally confirmed that the flames encompassed everything, and only then did he look away.
Attacking the Demon Envoys from the Heavenly Demon Palace was indeed a risky business. Although these two were feeble and were easily eliminated by Qing Yu and his companions, their superior was not someone they could handle.
If not for the overly aggressive behavior of the Heavenly Demon Palace that even the old Sects and families feared to provoke, sending no higher than True Pill Realm masters prematurely, Qing Yu and his group wouldn’t dare make such a shocking and outrageous move in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Everything is cleaned up," Qing Yu turned his gaze towards Yun Wuyue, who stood quietly beside him, "As per the agreement, the Yin Demon Sect will handle the aftermath. No problem, right?"
Monk Shi Jue had already left earlier, so there was no need for Qing Yu to hide Yun Wuyue’s identity anymore.
"No problem," Yun Wuyue nodded lightly, "Using Gu Ningyu, a True Pill Realm master, as a scapegoat shows the sincerity of the Yin Demon Sect enough. The Heavenly Demon Palace has no grounds to hold on to this issue, they can only admit defeat."
Gu Ningyu, Yun Wuyue’s martial uncle, reportedly had once contested for the position of the Yin Demon Sect Master with Yin Tianxia. It was he who had arranged the temporary residence for the two Demon Envoys.
For such a True Pill Realm master to stand in for two Divine Origin Realm Martial Artists showed the audacity of Yin Tianxia. This was also because Gu Ningyu was now blocking Yin Tianxia’s path.
Since Yin Tianxia took over, the Yin Demon Sect had abandoned its principle of clinging to the powerful for survival, adopting a policy that even women could dominate the world through strengthening oneself. Yet, such a shift was hard to implement for a Sect steeped in years of tradition, and not every woman harbored ambitions as great as Yin Tianxia’s; many still clung to the old ways.
Gu Ningyu was one of those most joyously clinging to tradition, even recently concocting a scheme to marry off the Sect disciple Yun Wuyue to the Heavenly Demon Palace, thus attaching themselves to it. Consequently, Gu Ningyu was made an example out of—like killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, warning those who still nostalgically remembered the past.
"If that’s the case, let’s go."
With a loud whistle, the wind stirred in the night sky, and the majestic White Phoenix flapped its huge wings, flying in from the night.
As the White Phoenix approached the ground, Qing Yu and Yun Wuyue leaped together, their figures floating gracefully like immortals soaring through the skies, both landing on the broad back of the White Phoenix.
Clad in black and white, the two figures stood on the back of the White Phoenix, complementing each other from a distance. However, upon closer inspection, the distance between them revealed that it was just an illusion caused by the perspective.
Had Yun Wuyue not been in a rush to reach Divine Capital to consolidate the Yin Demon Sect’s forces there, she would not have shared a ride with Qing Yu because of her personality.
And, of course, with Qing Yu’s current detached temperament, he similarly had no inclination to get close to Yun Wuyue. For Qing Yu, who was in a period of rapid power gain, except for furthering his power, nothing else probably mattered much.
"Whoosh—"
As the White Phoenix soared into the sky, heading straight for the clouds.
As the altitude increased, the originally dim moonlight also seemed much brighter, shining upon the two silent figures.
Riding a phoenix along the wind should have been a most delightful affair. Unfortunately, the person in question had no interest in such beauty.
Two sat one in front of the other on the back of the White Phoenix—one sitting upright at the front, lost in thought, while the other stood quietly at the back, absorbed in absorbing the moonlight for cultivation.
Time and the journey just passed by in their respective silences.
"Boom—"
It was also on this night at the Yin Demon Sect that a white figure was forcefully thrown into the air and then heavily fell to the ground. The substantial force carried by its body shattered the ground, covering an originally clear reflection-inducing surface with tiny particles of stones and dust.
"Sect Master, why?"
Gu Ningyu, originally as beautiful as peach and plum blossoms, was now disheveled with blood and sweat mixing and streaming down her face. Her originally pure white skirt was also tattered, stained with blood and dust.
Yet, she had no heart to pay attention to her wretched state but instead looked fearfully and incredulously at the figure standing in the shadow of the vast dark hall.
"Gu Ningyu, you’re in the way."
Black luxurious cloud-patterned boots stepped out of the shadows, stepping onto Gu Ningyu’s heart, bringing her the proximity of death.
Dressed in a black luxurious robe embroidered with countless exquisite patterns, Yin Tianxia stepped leisurely out of the shadows. Her swaying figure seemed to have an invisible magic power, attracting attention while also manifesting a strong presence. It seemed as though Yin Tianxia’s figure filled the grand hall, demonstrating her high-spirited aura.
"I have tried my best to reform the Sect’s bad habits, to make you understand that even women can preside over the world and possess the power to dominate. However, I forgot that the world is still full of fools. Even you, who have cultivated to the True Pill Realm, still have a weak mentality."
The steady footsteps showed the resolute killing intent in her heart.
Gu Ningyu understood that she had no way to escape.
Facing death, Gu Ningyu let go of her previous fears and spoke her true thoughts boldly, "Weak? Who exactly is weak?"
"Yin Tianxia," Gu Ningyu glared fiercely at the approaching figure, exuding an aura of dominance rarely seen in women, "I’m just following the rule of survival of the fittest. What’s wrong with depending on a stronger person? If you talk about weakness, you’re the true weak one, hiding behind the so-called self-strengthening of a woman as an excuse to cover up the scars in your heart since being toyed by Zhu Xiping and his son."
"Don’t forget where your power comes from. It was snatched from a man. I’ve played countless men over the years, depending on strong men is just damn right. I depend on the powerful."
Gu Ningyu became increasingly frenzied as she spoke, "If you’re not weak, why don’t you go seduce men like I do, you slut. You’re just a slut, Bai..."
Gu Ningyu seemed about to reveal a name, but before she could finish, her body turned pale and rigid, her mouth agape, unable to speak another word.
A breeze blew, and Gu Ningyu, along with her clothes, turned into dust and dispersed with the wind.
"You said you depend on the powerful? It’s a pity you don’t even know who the powerful are."
