"You’re playing !"
Lu Shangxing felt a surge of anger rise from the depths of his heart. At this mont, he felt like a clown. The Si Nanyan before him turned out to be a puppet. No wonder, no wonder she was so indifferent, so unapproachable. What emotions could a puppet have? All was given to its Master.
Si Nanyan did not respond, only gave him a cold glance. She had never taken the initiative to do anything. If you want to condemn soone, any excuse will do!
"It has always been you who has been wishfully thinking, yet why do you press the bla onto my Junior Sister?"
Feng Ruoli’s gaze sharpened, and she spoke in a cold voice. At this point, there was no need to be polite with them anymore.
"What do you think you are?" Shao Zhengze lifted his head, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Since when can a re mortal body stand before and speak?"
Very good. This was exactly the situation he wanted to see.
Murderous intent flashed in Feng Ruoli’s eyes. With her usual style, she would want to kill Shao Zhengze right now. Only... now there were two of them. Two against two, she and Si Nanyan probably wouldn’t have the chance to kill them. Now, their only option was to endure.
SLAP!
The next mont, however, another loud slap landed on Feng Ruoli’s face. This slap was incredibly powerful, and it was a sudden sneak attack. Feng Ruoli, caught off guard, was sent flying, crashing into a stone pillar inside the main hall before she finally stopped.
"Feng Ruoli!"
Si Nanyan quickly stepped across the ground, rushing to her side to check her injuries. Although she had lost her mories, after spending this ti together, the two had still grown attached to one another.
"I’m fine."
Feng Ruoli waved her hand, taking deep breaths, her complexion constantly changing. She wasn’t badly injured, but her peerless face now bore a giant handprint, just like Ning Xiaoyu’s had. As the Deputy Palace Master of the Wondrous Palace, when had she ever been humiliated like this? But still, she restrained herself from making any moves. When you’re under soone else’s roof, you have to bow your head.
"Feng Ruoli, you aren’t even a disciple of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect, yet you dare to give attitude?"
Shao Zhengze’s smile beca even more wanton. In his hand, at so unknown point, he was clutching Ning Xiaoyu’s delicate neck.
"Ugh..."
Ning Xiaoyu was weak, after all. Suspended in the air by her neck, her small hands struggled futilely, appearing so weak and helpless. Her breathing beca even more rapid.
"Stop it!" Feng Ruoli and Si Nanyan imdiately shouted.
At this mont, Shao Zhengze was simply acting recklessly. With just a bit more force, Ning Xiaoyu’s neck would be snapped.
"Lu, if this puppet’s neck breaks, do you think it will die?" Shao Zhengze ignored the two of them, smiling as he spoke to Lu Shangxing.
"Shao, you could try it."
Lu Shangxing, who had just tried to stop him, rely stood aside, watching with an indifferent, unconcerned expression. From the mont he learned the truth, Si Nanyan’s status in his heart had begun to plumt. The once flawless goddess had tumbled down to the mortal realm in an instant. The lives and deaths of these few people were utterly irrelevant to him. He didn’t care. Lu Shangxing was even grateful to Shao Zhengze. It was thanks to his reminder that he hadn’t fallen any deeper. If he had found out any later that Si Nanyan had a Master, he feared he would feel worse than if he had eaten dung.
"Then I’ll just give it a try."
Shao Zhengze, hearing this, smiled slightly. He then raised his hand and turned Ning Xiaoyu in another direction, making sure Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli could clearly see her desperate struggle.
"You’re seeking death!"
Si Nanyan finally exploded in anger. The other party simply wasn’t treating them as human beings. Even if she couldn’t kill them, she still had to fight back.
"Don’t attack!"
Feng Ruoli, however, quickly grabbed Si Nanyan. She realized that the other party had co specifically for them. It was clear they were being plotted against. But why target them so suddenly? They had clearly kept a low profile, clearly done nothing. Frustration. It was indeed too frustrating. The two of them watched helplessly as they were slapped, threatened, and constantly manipulated. It was as if their every move had already been calculated.
CRACK!
The next mont, however, a sharp sound rang out. Shao Zhengze’s fingers tensed, and Ning Xiaoyu’s neck twisted, her entire head instantly lolling to one side.
Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli’s bodies stiffened. It seed they hadn’t anticipated that the person before them would actually dare to strike. They had been so patient...
"Wow, true to being a puppet, it seems breaking a neck isn’t such a big deal," an excited voice ca from Shao Zhengze.
The neck of Ning Xiaoyu in his hand was twisted and broken, but there was not the slightest change in her aura. Only the expression of pain on her face remained the sa as any ordinary person’s. At this mont, her neck was completely broken in two. Thankfully, her vitality mainly ca from the Blood Pill inside her body; as long as the Blood Pill was still intact, it wasn’t a major problem.
"Truly a puppet," Lu Shangxing couldn’t help but close his eyes, murmuring to himself. In this mont, he too finally believed that Si Nanyan and Ning Xiaoyu were puppets. The last sliver of hope in his heart vanished.
Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli exchanged a glance, their eyes already filled with resolve. At this point, it was no longer about whether they could kill their opponent. If they didn’t resist now, perhaps they truly would be killed. Constantly yielding would only lead to more outrageous behavior from the other side.
"Shao Zhengze, do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?"
Feng Ruoli slowly stood up, and a vast, blood-colored phantom erged behind her. This phantom was adorned with the wailing faces of those who had died at her hands over the years.
As the blood-colored phantom appeared, Lu Shangxing and Shao Zhengze also felt a chill. Expressions of seriousness appeared on their faces.
After all, Feng Ruoli was a veteran cultivator at the Divine Communication Realm. Her aptitude might be lacking sowhat, but she had been at this realm for many years. Her cultivation had basically reached the limit of the Divine Communication Realm. Especially considering the many battles she had experienced, she wasn’t soone Lu Shangxing and Shao Zhengze could compare to.
Facing Feng Ruoli, whose eyes were filled with killing intent, Shao Zhengze lost his earlier smile.
Si Nanyan was even more decisive. The Blood Pill inside her body spun wildly, and endless blood energy condensed into a Blood Sword that appeared in her palm. This sword contained nearly half of her blood energy, showing how terrifying its power was. Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli were clearly being pushed to their limit.
Lu Shangxing’s expression was sowhat complex. How could he have expected that in such a short ti, the situation would develop to this extent?
"Stop!"
Just then, an angry shout ca from outside the main hall. Imdiately after, a figure appeared inside.
It was Xiang Yanwen. His gaze swept over those inside the hall. He looked at Feng Ruoli and Si Nanyan and frowned slightly, then turned to Shao Zhengze and Lu Shangxing, his eyes narrowing further. He lingered for an additional second, especially when he saw Ning Xiaoyu’s broken neck.
With Xiang Yanwen’s appearance, the hostile atmosphere between the two sides changed once again.
"We pay our respects to Elder Xiang."
Upon seeing Elder Xiang, Shao Zhengze and Lu Shangxing quickly composed themselves, offering respectful salutations.
"Hmph, you’ve got so nerve, causing trouble here at our place!"
How could Elder Xiang not understand what had happened? If he had co any later, he feared a real fight would have erupted.
"Elder Xiang, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! My hand slipped." The previously arrogant Shao Zhengze now wore an innocent smile. He then gently placed Ning Xiaoyu on the ground and said, "Elder Xiang, don’t worry, it’s not a fatal injury. I have so elixirs here that can help with healing."
He then took out so elixirs, intending to treat Ning Xiaoyu’s injuries.
Although Xiang Yanwen was an elder of the Lower Three Veins, he was still an Elder. Shao Zhengze certainly didn’t have the audacity to confront an Elder head-on.
"You may leave."
Elder Xiang then coldly glanced at the two but ultimately did not voice any punishnt for them.
"Yes."
Shao Zhengze stopped what he was doing and once again respectfully saluted. Then, smiling, he retreated with Lu Shangxing.
His goal had been achieved anyway. Giving Si Nanyan and the others such a warning should be enough. That should be enough to drive Wen Zhixing mad. If it wasn’t enough, then he would have to get Lu Shangxing to take action as well.
This Si Nanyan’s beauty could topple cities; that kid is getting quite a deal.
