Chapter 1129: Chapter 1129: Counterattack
Qin Sisi agreed to Ye You’s requests one by one, then slowly closed her eyes, her body relaxing as if she had fallen asleep.
Ye You’s warm palm covered her forehead, releasing a trace of magic power that entered her sea of mories, beginning to read her recent mories.
He saw her being hunted by n in black on Taiyi Mountain, her body battered and near death, ultimately using snake venom to win herself a sliver of survival.
He saw her join Yu Miao’s caravan, journeying with Ah Xia and others through Scholar City’s forest, traversing Crystal City’s icy plain, and arriving at Midair City’s desert regions.
He saw her enter the Forgemaster Guild, believing she was now safe, only to face danger again as Lin Kun, driven by greed, poisoned her, forcing her to abandon wealth to preserve her life.
He saw her captured by Elderly Fourth and taken to the Changkong family’s Chief Mansion. Despite losing all mana, she used a poison needle to protect herself. In her direst mont, Jiu Ge finally arrived in ti to rescue her.
He saw her teaching Jiu Ge to play the zither one quiet night, focused and ticulous, though Jiu Ge simply could not master it.
Qin Sisi wasn’t aware, but Ye You knew—Jiu Ge was rely pretending to be clueless. Back in his day, his Music Magic skills were quite proficient.
He saw Jiu Ge confessing to her, asking her to stay by his side, only to be firmly rejected.
Ye You chuckled coldly. After all they had gone through together, how could Jiu Ge ever truly understand their relationship?
Of course, he also saw the scene Qin Sisi wanted to show him—the thod i Ji used to maintain her youthful beauty.
Countless young and innocent girls were deprived of their lives in such an unimaginably cruel way, as if they were not human at all, but re tools. According to i Ji herself, they were nothing more than sacrificial offerings.
The handso young n t similarly grim fates. True to the saying "death beneath the peony is worth it," after one night of revelry, they beca als for the Blood Eagles.
No wonder Qin Sisi couldn’t find the words to describe it. Scenes like these, even recalling them briefly, were the most grotesque and terrifying things, let alone detailing them thoroughly.
Ye You withdrew his magic power and lifted his hand from Qin Sisi’s forehead. At this mont, Qin Sisi was already covered in a thin layer of sweat, her brows tightly furrowed, appearing to be in discomfort.
Ye You extended two fingers to smooth out Qin Sisi’s brows and softly said, "It’s over, it’s finished."
Qin Sisi exhaled deeply, opened her eyes, and looked at Ye You. She asked in a whisper, "Did you see everything?"
Ye You nodded and replied, "I saw it. If i Ji can be brought down, your contributions will be indispensable."
Qin Sisi chuckled indifferently and said, "I don’t care about any of that."
"I care." Ye You’s fingers slowly slid down the bridge of her nose, stroked over her lips, and then leaned down to kiss her.
"Don’t be afraid. Anyone who has hurt you—I won’t spare a single one of them." Ye You’s voice was low and resolute, both hands clasping Qin Sisi’s tightly as their fingers intertwined.
Qing Xun, Yun Wang, and Yun Cheng, following Ye You’s instructions, were sent to the inner city to buy paper. Gong Zhuo’s skill in disguise proved invaluable at this ti. Using plain objects without relying on magic power or extraordinary artifacts, he transford the three so thoroughly that even their closest acquaintances might fail to recognize them.
After examining themselves in a mirror, the three were amazed by Gong Zhuo’s abilities, feeling much more reassured about their journey to the inner city.
Having caused such a commotion in the Chief Mansion, i Ji was certain to deploy a large number of people to hunt them down. With their drastically altered appearances, the chances of encountering danger were significantly reduced.
Thus, Qing Xun, Yun Wang, and Yun Cheng, bearing unfamiliar faces, cautiously navigated Midair City’s inner city, boldly purchasing a large quantity of white paper.
When they safely returned to Ah Xia’s house, Ye You had already finished reading Qin Sisi’s recent mories. Seeing Qing Xun and the others return, Ye You imdiately instructed them to take out the white paper and began using magic power to transfer the scenes he had gleaned from Qin Sisi’s mories onto the paper.
Qin Sisi quietly watched Ye You from the side. Ye You had just explained to her that this was a type of Illusion Technique Magic called "Truth and Illusion."
i Ji’s cris—the slaughter of countless young girls, draining their blood dry, and throwing their bodies down Soul-breaking Cliff to feed the Blood Eagles—gradually erged on the white paper.
The others, just as curious, eagerly watched, wanting to learn what Qin Sisi had witnessed. When these scenes vividly appeared before their eyes, they were all stunned.
"Too cruel, it’s just too cruel!" Ah Xia trembled with fury, her hands clenched tightly into fists.
Yun Cheng imdiately echoed with outrage. "Exactly, she’s nothing but a vampire hag!"
Yun Wang frowned deeply. He had long heard rumors that Midair City’s developnt in recent years had fallen short of its forr glory, but he hadn’t imagined its ruler’s thods were so barbaric and violent.
Qing Xun took a deep breath, forcing down the nausea rising in his chest. What he couldn’t help but wonder was whether Jiu Ge was aware of these atrocities.
If Jiu Ge knew all about it yet completely condoned his demonic mother’s actions, then Qing Xun would be deeply, deeply disappointed.
Only Gong Zhuo, the grand elderly who knew i Ji well from long ago, seed emotionally composed. Picking up the papers with the images displayed, he sighed, "This is exactly what she’s capable of."
She could even harm her own younger sister—what couldn’t she do?
Using the "Truth and Illusion" magic skill non-stop, Ye You’s forehead had already beco covered in fine beads of sweat. After taking a few Spirit Revitalizing Pills and resting briefly, he released his magic power again, making the images on the white paper fully manifest.
During the night, Qing Xun and others snuck into Midair City’s inner city with these sheets of paper, scattering them across its streets and alleys.
The next day, Midair City was utterly shocked.
The mystery behind the disappearance of young girls over the past decade was finally unraveled. Many had assud Jiu Ge was shalessly indulgent, but unexpectedly, the truth revealed that they were rely tools for i Ji, the clan leader, to maintain her youthful beauty.
In an instant, public outrage exploded, with crowds gathering in front of the Chief Mansion’s gates, demanding i Ji step down from her position. Countless people who had lost daughters or sisters shouted curses at i Ji, calling for her execution.
Enraged upon hearing the news, i Ji ordered the guards to activate the Defensive Array’s offensive functions.
Normally, when under attack by magic power, the Defensive Array’s offensive functions would automatically activate. However, the crowd outside the Chief Mansion consisted mostly of ordinary people lacking magic power, so the array’s attack chanisms did not trigger.
Though so guards hesitated, under i Ji’s oppressive tyranny, they had no choice but to manually activate the Defensive Array’s offensive functions.
A barrage of sharp arrows rained down on the defenseless crowd with the ferocity of a storm, turning the area into a scene of tragic wailing and rivers of blood.
