Chapter 237 - lancholy
Bai Rouyun was painfully aware of her own situation. She was currently unable to use her Qi due to the limitations of her body, so after achieving her aim, she had no reason to continue endangering herself.
With a gesture of her hand, countless shadows appeared in the dilapidated house; all of whom were the elite experts of the Eternal Shadow Palace.
The hideous expression on Qing Yi and Qing Er’s faces stagnated as they recognized many of the people present, but with their current mindset, they felt that these experts should be much more supportive of them than Bai Rouyun.
After all, Bai Rouyun was a fox spirit who had seduced their master and abused his might to her own ability. Such noble experts as them would never be subdued by this scheming young woman.
Unfortunately, these experts were much more reasonable than the pair of twins. In fact, they had long since understood that while Bai Rouyun might be weaker than them, she was more than suitable for taking over the control of the Eternal Shadow Palace on behalf of Li Moyun.
Bai Rouyun did not even have to say anything; the experts sprung into action on their own. Qing Yi and Qing Er previously held a high position within the Eternal Shadow Palace, but this was not due to their strength, but their managent ability.
Although the two of them tried to put up a fight, they were knocked down almost instantly, and even Zhou Liqiang was captured without the ability to fight back.
All three of them had eyes full of hatred as they stared at Bai Rouyun, who calmly observed the whole process. A slight smile adorned her lips as she looked at the scene in front of her.
From the tools present on the floor, she had long since realized what kind of tornt she would have experienced if things had gone according to their plan, so she did not feel even the slightest pity.
Her expression remained calm even when witnessing the experts destroying the twins’ dantians, ensuring that they would never be able to cultivate again.
For soone as proud and arrogant as the two of them, this was an even more painful blow than when they exchanged their bodies for benefits.
As long as they had their strength, they had the hope of being able to erge victorious at the end. As long as there was hope, they would be able to do anything to keep living. However, without a dantian, they had beco even weaker than Bai Rouyun, whom they had considered an ant beneath their feet, and now they could never turn things around.
The one who was the calst of the three was Zhou Liqiang. He was already unable to cultivate and knew that he would never beco a strong figure. Although the reality had hurt him, he had accepted it.
Now that the twins were experiencing the sa feeling as he did back then, he felt his heart ache in dull pain. He understood their ntality all too well, but he also knew that since their dantian had been shattered, there was no way to change back to being a cultivator.
"Hand them over to Elder Sun."
Bai Rouyun smiled sweetly as she looked at the despaired pair of twins. She knew that the two of them had escaped this Elder’s hands before. Elder Sun was respected as a parent by Li Moyun, so she naturally wished for him to handle the two of them in his own way.
While it was confird that she had so enmity with them both, they had been loyal supporters of her husband for many years. They were also wanted by the Eternal Shadow Palace, so she felt it was more suitable to let Elder Sun determine how to deal with them.
The experts were surprised. Although Bai Rouyun seed soft and gentle, the killing intent she had unleashed in the manor was not fake. They had expected that she would personally witness the execution and torture of the twins. Still, she simply handed them over to be dealt with as the Eternal Shadow Palace’s rules dictated.
As she left the house, Bai Rouyun felt the warm breeze caressing her face. She sighed softly as she looked towards the blue sky spreading above her head and could not help but feel sowhat lancholic.
Life was nothing more than that. She had experienced life at the very bottom of society, but now she was above thousands of people.
No matter where she was, she could not help but feel that every life had equal rights to live, but reality often proved differently.
While it was not allowed to kill others wantonly, if you had enough strength, then no one would comnt on your actions, even if you murdered soone in the middle of a crowd.
This utter disregard for life made her feel a sense of unexplainable sadness, but she also knew that she could not change the world.
"Rouyun!"
Just as she was deep in thought, a gentle voice reverberated between the narrow alleyway, and as she turned around, she found that Qin Huiling and Mo Chu were looking at her with a bit of worry in their eyes.
Upon seeing her turning around, Qin Huiling ran towards her and wrapped her arms around her slim figure.
"Fortunately, you are okay!"
There was no ntion of her being kidnapped, nor any intentions to bla her for being the cause of the disaster.
The only emotion that she could hear in her friend’s voice was relief that she was fine.
Bai Rouyun slowly raised her arms and returned the hug. She burrowed her head in her friend’s shoulder, and while she was supposed to be the one to soothe Qin Huiling, she felt that it was the other who brought her peace.
Even if this world were ruthless and evil, she would beco stronger. She was no longer alone, and since strength was what decided the law, then she would beco stronger than anyone else!
