"Lingxue?"
Ning Xiuhua was stunned, suddenly realizing that she had been mistaken from the beginning.
This guy wasn't infatuated with Zhuguqing's beauty at all. He came to rescue his little sister-in-law!
But didn't he sever ties with Wen Lingzhao?
Why would he care so much about Wen Lingxue's safety?
When Ning Xiuhua recalled Su Yi's obvious concern upon learning the news at Shushi Residence tonight, her gaze couldn't help but become strange.
Could it be that this guy intends to dump Wen Lingzhao and marry her sister instead?
"Lingxue was captured by that old ghost and is currently imprisoned in his mansion, guarded by his adopted son, Huyan Bao," Zhuguqing, who had been freed, quickly explained. "By the way, Huyan Bao is the head of the Yin Sha Men's Gunzhou branch and the son of Huyan Hai. He set his eyes on Lingxue when we were on the ship returning to Gunzhou..."
Su Yi interrupted, "So, this calamity was caused by Huyan Hai?"
Zhuguqing nodded, eyes filled with hatred. "Exactly. I didn't see through that guy's background back then..."
Su Yi had no intention to listen to these details. He turned around and grabbed Wuhuan Shuijun, who was lying on the ground. "Take me to your mansion."
Wuhuan Shuijun was already extremely weak and had no strength to struggle anymore.
But upon hearing that Su Yi was going to save Wen Lingxue, he suddenly became alert and said, "If you promise not to kill me... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, he began convulsing in excruciating pain. His soul felt as if it were being tortured, in unbearable agony.
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
Wuhuan Shuijun completely wilted, his gaze toward Su Yi filled with fear and dread.
"Wait here."
Su Yi glanced at Ning Xiuhua and then left directly.
Which of the demonic creatures would dare to obstruct him?
They all avoided his path, fearing that blocking his way would result in being ruthlessly killed by Su Yi.
Boom!
A giant bronze gate descended, and after Su Yi and Wuhuan Shuijun left, the gate rose again, blocking the passage.
This scene caused the hearts of the demonic creatures in the arena to sink.
...
Inside a magnificent mansion.
The pale green lanterns emitted a chilling light and shadow.
In one of the rooms...
"Lingxue, my girl, this is my adoptive father's Nine Curves City. Even if it's your master Zhuguqing or the Monkey King himself, they would undoubtedly die here," Huyan Bao sat there with a grin, his gaze on the beautiful and ethereal young girl not far away becoming somewhat heated.
Immediately, his expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, "But don't worry, as long as you agree to be my wife, I promise to not only take you away from this place but also marry you in a grand and splendid manner!"
Wen Lingxue's face turned pale, and she remained silent, her brow filled with exhaustion, desolation, and gloom.
"Sigh, forget it."
Suddenly, Huyan Bao let out a long sigh and said, "I won't force you. Just drink this ginseng tea, and tomorrow I will take you away from here!"
With that, he handed over the jade bowl containing the ginseng tea, his face full of tenderness. "You haven't eaten anything for two days. Drink it quickly so that you'll have the energy to leave with me tomorrow."
Wen Lingxue still remained silent.
Seeing this scene, Huyan Bao finally lost patience. He slammed the table and said, "You are the woman I have set my eyes on. I can't let you neglect your own body!"
He approached with the tea cup, offering it to Wen Lingxue's lips, and said, "Be a good girl, drink it, or else I'll personally feed you."
Wen Lingxue continued to act as if she heard nothing, completely ignoring him.
A flash of cruelty flickered in Huyan Bao's eyes, and he raised his hand, about to force open Wen Lingxue's mouth.
At that moment...
Bang!
The tightly closed door was kicked open.
"What the hell, who the hell..."
Huyan Bao was startled, trembling all over. The tea cup in his hand almost fell to the ground as he angrily cursed.
However, when he turned around and saw the person who had entered, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. "Uh, adoptive father!? How could you..."
Seeing Wuhuan Shuijun being carried like a chick by a young man in a green robe, Huyan Bao almost thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
His adoptive father was the lord of this Nine Curves City, who had been in control here for over a hundred years and didn't even regard the Innate Martial Lords highly. How could he become like this?
Meanwhile, amidst this sudden change, Wen Lingxue continued to sit there, seemingly oblivious to everything.
The delicate and pale beauty on the girl's face was filled with exhaustion and numbness, causing Su Yi's heart to ache.
"Lingxue, I'm late."
Su Yi sighed softly, regretting that he had allowed Wen Lingxue to leave on the boat with Zhuguqing in the first place.
Wen Lingxue's delicate body trembled imperceptibly, as if finally coming back to her senses. Her gaze subconsciously looked over.
And then she saw a familiar figure.
She stood there in a daze, seemingly unable to believe it, and whispered weakly, "Brother-in-law, is it really you?"
Su Yi nodded and said, "You're not mistaken. This is not an illusion. Don't be afraid, I've come to take you away."
His voice was gentle, filled with pain and regret.
"Sister-in-law..."
Wen Lingxue suddenly stood up, her slender and graceful figure trembling slightly. Two clear tears welled up in her eyes, streaming down her delicate and beautiful face, glistening and falling with a patter.
It made Su Yi feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Since entering the Wen family until now, it was the first time he had seen this usually bright and lively girl in such a tearful state.
Huyan Bao also seemed to react and his expression changed. He reached out towards Wen Lingxue, intending to use her as a hostage.
"Kneel."
Su Yi's indifferent voice sounded, infused with the power of the "Great Void Soul Sword Technique."
With a resounding thud, Huyan Bao's head seemed to explode, his body went limp, and his knees hit the ground, completely powerless to resist.
"What is in this tea?"
Su Yi walked forward and snatched the tea cup from Huyan Bao's hand.
"Ginseng... ginseng tea."
Huyan Bao trembled in fear and stammered, "This esteemed person, my father is Huyan Hai of the Yin Sha Sect..."
"Drink it."
Su Yi handed the tea cup directly to him.
Huyan Hai shuddered all over, showing a distressed expression.
Swoosh!
The Royal Profound Sword flashed, and Huyan Bao's right ear was sliced off. Blood sprayed, causing him to roll on the ground in agony, howling in pain.
"One last chance, drink it."
Su Yi held the tea cup steadily in his hand.
"I'll drink it, I'll drink it!"
Huyan Bao picked up the tea cup and emptied it in one gulp. Then, he tremblingly said, "Esteemed person, please don't kill me. I haven't done anything, really, I can swear to the heavens!"
As he finished speaking, his cheeks flushed, his eyes turned red, and his breathing became heavy.
"Aphrodisiac..."
Su Yi's eyes became even colder, and a surge of killing intent surged within him.
If he had arrived even a little later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Bang!
Su Yi threw Wuhuan Shuijun to the side and then reached out to grab Wen Lingxue's arm. "Lingxue, let's go out first."
"Sister-in-law, I..."
Wen Lingxue's body was too weak, and she almost collapsed after taking a step.
"Rest for a while first. I'll carry you."
Su Yi said as he directly lifted the girl onto his back and walked out of the room.
"Whoever dares to step out of this door, I'll kill them."
Su Yi stood outside the room, speaking calmly.
Inside the room, a weak and feeble Wuhuan Shuijun was stunned. What did this guy mean?
Suddenly, his vision went black, and a figure pounced on him, pressing him to the ground.
"You bastard! What are you doing?"
Wuhuan Shuijun was greatly alarmed and recognized it was Huyan Bao.
"Beauty, I'm hot... I'm hot..."
Huyan Bao's face was flushed, his eyes filled with fiery desire. His body burst forth with unprecedented strength as he pinned down Wuhuan Shuijun.
"Damn it!"
Wuhuan Shuijun's heart sank as he realized that the aphrodisiac Huyan Bao had taken earlier was too potent, making him delusional and confused.
"Get lost! Get the hell away from me!"
Wuhuan Shuijun shouted angrily, struggling continuously, but his injuries were too severe. How could he struggle?
Instead, his struggling made Huyan Bao grin, "Beauty, you have such strong legs. You're almost breaking my waist!"
Wuhuan Shuijun was on the verge of collapse, roaring hysterically, "You bastard, I'll kill you!"
But Huyan Bao paid no attention, like a wild beast overwhelmed by desire, eager to vent and release...
Outside the room.
Su Yi stood there with an indifferent expression, listening to the commotion inside the room.
This was what they brought upon themselves.
No one else to blame.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Not long after, Wuhuan Shuijun's furious and desperate roar came from the room.
Bang!
Before his words could finish, a loud crash echoed from the room, followed by Huyan Bao's wretched screams, "Father, why...?"
And then, the sound abruptly stopped.
Su Yi kicked open the door, only to see Wuhuan Shuijun disheveled, covered in wounds and tattered, looking ethereal and pitiful.
Beside him lay the lifeless body of Huyan Bao, his eyes wide open with an expression of confusion and despair...
Disgustingly, the lower region of his body was a bloody mess.
Su Yi raised his hand, intending to shield Wen Lingxue's eyes from the sight, but he realized that the girl had already fallen asleep, her head resting on his shoulder.
"In these past few days, I can't imagine how much torment she must have endured to be this exhausted..."
Su Yi sighed inwardly.
Not far away, Wuhuan Shuijun, lying on the ground, looked at Su Yi standing outside the door and uttered a bitterly resentful scream, "The Great Compassionate God will not let you go, never!!"
Su Yi reached out and pressed his hand in the air.
With a bang, Wuhuan Shuijun's already broken soul burst apart completely, turning into rolling black smoke and dissipated.
...
In the center of the dojo, in front of the black altar.
Ning Yihan stood there quietly, while Zhu Guqing had already explained everything that had happened. This relieved her to some extent.
Fortunately, Zhu Guqing was treated as a "sacrifice" and, apart from some superficial injuries, he was not defiled or violated.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to escape the shame and humiliation in this lifetime.
Not far away, all the ghosts and monsters knelt down, trembling and uneasy, not daring to breathe.
Having witnessed the terrifying methods displayed by Ning Yihan just now, they understood very well that even if they all fought desperately, it would be no different from ants challenging a giant boulder or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Furthermore, with the Nine Palace Blood Slaughter Array sealing off the surroundings of the dojo, they had no way out. In such a desperate situation, all they could do was kneel and show respect...
Only Tao Qingshan and Feng Yong stood there, but when they saw this scene, their hearts were filled with indescribable shock, unable to calm down for a long time.
