The four guards relaxed, and they looked at He Xi with contempt.
"Hmph, at least you know your worth and that you don't have the standing to go against the Zhu family. If you let us go right now, we can still let this go!"
However, He Xi paid no attention to them. "It's too easy to kill you all. Since you all look down on mortals that much, you shall spend the rest of your lives as mortals!" She continued.
With that, the needles in her hand flew out.
This time, instead of towards the dantian, it went towards the center of their aura.
There was a soft sound, and the air was filled with spiritual influence.
"Ahhh!" Cried and shrieks filled the air.
The four guards felt like there was a hole in their bodies. They then felt their spiritual powers through their meridians and out of their body.
Instantly, they could no longer feel the pulsing of their dantian and spiritual influence.
The faces aged rapidly, going from young men in their thirties to old men in their fifties and sixties.
The dantian was broken, their spiritual influence dissipated, and their cultivation turned to naught.
It was almost impossible to ruin anyone's dantian since it was encased in the body and protected by spiritual powers.
However, He Xi managed to do it with her needles and her understanding of the human body.
From here on, the four would never be able to cultivate and refine themselves. They would become the mortals that they despised the most and age helplessly.
Their eyes rolled backward. The extreme fear put them in a state of shock. In the end, they passed out from the shock.
The other lower-tiered cultivators were stunned and began shivering in fear.
"I've always been one to repay kindness and take vengeance. This is what they get for messing with me. I have nothing against you so I won't touch you!"
The others relaxed when they heard that and feigned sleep.
They even pretended to not have noticed when He Xi dragged Zhu Zhongba and the four guards out.
Who were they kidding?! It was a small thing to be punished by the head of the Zhu family. They would be done for if they messed with her and had their powers taken.
So, Young Master Zhu, you're on your own!
The Young Master Zhu in question was being dragged to the main hall of the villa.
He only slowly regained consciousness when He Xi was tying him to the pole.
"You… what are you doing?"
When he opened his eyes, he felt pain resonating in his body as if every one of his bones had been broken and reset.
Before he could do anything, the impact of seeing the sinister smile of He Xi's face pushed him to the edge.
She suddenly threw three needles into his body.
He felt his meridians seal up as did his dantian. He was then unable to use his spiritual powers.
Of course, this was not the disabling of his dantian. It was just a temporary seal.
She used three needles at once, and Zhu Zhongba was only a low-level cultivator. There was no way he would be able to use his powers anytime soon.
She then brought out the few needles that had slavery bondage powers and shoved it mercilessly into Zhu Zhongba's brain.
They instantly disappeared into his brain. She placed her hand on his wrist to make sure that the needles and spiritual power were in the right place before she let go contentedly.
