Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 62 The Old Jade Pendant

I clenched my fist. "This rule maintains the balance of Yin and Yang. Once it is broken, all living beings will suffer."

"So what? Does someone like me, whose face was disfigured by poisoning, deserve to be discriminated against?" His eyes were filled with madness and resentment.

"Revenge through breaking the rules is never the right way," I said, preparing to unleash my spiritual power.

He suddenly burst into laughter, "You think you can stop us? Look behind you!"

I turned my head and saw that the dark shadows that had just disappeared had regrouped, and there were even more of them than before.

"Die!" He waved his flute, and the dark shadows rushed towards me like a tide.

I formed hand seals, and golden light emanated from my body, blocking all his attacks.

"Your so-called new order is nothing but chaos!" I shouted.

He was unimpressed and waved his flute again, this time causing countless sharp spikes to erupt from the ground and shoot at me.

I flashed and teleported behind him, kicking him in the back.

He lunged forward, rolled once, and landed firmly, his eyes filled with hatred.

"You can never stop me!" he shouted, and the entire ancient hall began to shake violently, the surrounding runes flashing even more intensely, as if they were about to explode.

I knew all too well his insane desire to destroy everything and perish together with the people here, and my heart tightened, but at the same time, a strong sense of mission welled up in my heart.

I dared not slack off in the slightest, and immediately mobilized all the spiritual power hidden in my meridians, gathering it in my palm.

As spiritual energy continuously gathered, a dazzling spiritual light gradually emanated from around my palm.

The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into an enormous lightsaber! This lightsaber exuded a terrifying aura, as if it could cut through all obstacles in the world.

In the blink of an eye, I drew my lightsaber and sped toward him like a bolt of lightning.

Seeing my fierce attack, he did not back down at all. Suddenly, the flute in his hand shone with a dazzling light, like a blazing sun rising in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the intense light crashed down on my lightsaber like a raging torrent.

Just as the two were about to touch, time seemed to freeze.

Then, a deafening roar resounded, and the entire space was completely engulfed by the light generated by the collision of these two terrifying forces.

The light was so intense that it was impossible to look directly at it, and even the surrounding air was violently distorted because it could not withstand the powerful energy impact.

At the same time, an overwhelming force swept outwards from the point of explosion, and both I and he were involuntarily thrown backwards by this tremendous force.

However, waves of intense pain washed over me, but I gritted my teeth and, with the indomitable will deep within me, endured the pain and resolutely lunged at him again.

In the instant he was taken aback by my sudden action.

With lightning speed, I snatched the flute from his hand and snapped it in two without hesitation.

A crisp snapping sound rang out, and the flute broke in two instantly.

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that his prized flute had been so easily destroyed.

As the flute broke, his original powerful strength drained away like a burst dam, and he instantly lost his support, collapsing limply to the ground.

Looking at the enemy before me who was now powerless to fight back, I said coldly, "Your conspiracy ends here!" With that, I quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. A mysterious light shot out from my fingertips and flew straight towards his body.

After the light entered his body, his spiritual power seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and he could no longer exert any power.

At the same time, the ancient hall that had been shaking gradually returned to calm. The walls stopped trembling, the ground stopped shaking, and all the sense of danger vanished.

A heart-stopping crisis was finally averted, and I breathed a sigh of relief, my tense nerves finally relaxing a little.

After defeating the enemy, I dragged my exhausted body slowly out of the ancient hall.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and a gentle breeze brought a slight coolness to my cheeks, but it couldn't soothe the turmoil in my heart.

Recalling the fierce battle just now, I still feel lingering fear.

I walked slowly toward the inn, where there were few pedestrians.

As I stepped into the familiar inn, a long-lost sense of peace welled up in my heart.

When Chongyang saw that I was in a disheveled state, he rushed over to ask what was wrong, but I just waved my hand to indicate that I was fine.

Back in my room, after a quick wash, I sat on the edge of the bed and began to ponder the secrets hidden behind this incident.

Why would that person carry out such an evil plan? Could there be an even bigger mastermind behind it all? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fists.

But the most important thing now is to rest. I lay down and closed my eyes.

But as soon as I closed my eyes, the image of the broken flute appeared in my mind, and I knew that this matter was far from over.

Meanwhile, Wen Xingyu had some doubts in her heart.

Last night, she had a strange dream while sleeping.

In her dream, she was in a misty fairyland, surrounded by ancient buildings and blooming exotic flowers and plants.

She saw a man with a blurred face but an extraordinary air standing in the distance, gazing at her with gentle yet sorrowful eyes.

When Wen Xingyu woke up the next day, she found an old jade pendant on her bedside table. It was engraved with intricate patterns and faintly emitted spiritual energy fluctuations.

Wen Xingyu was secretly surprised. What kind of person could sneak into the inn so secretly and place this jade pendant here?

The more she thought about it, the more serious she felt this matter was, and various possible scenarios kept popping into her mind.

Could this be a huge conspiracy? Or a carefully planned scheme by some mysterious organization?

Thinking of this, Wen Xingyu couldn't help but feel a chill rise up her spine.

She dared not delay for a moment, hurriedly stood up, tightly gripped the jade pendant, and quickly walked towards the room where Huan Yuechu was.

Among this group, only Huan Yuechu possesses the most unfathomable strength and wisdom. If a truly thorny problem were to arise, perhaps only she could handle it with ease.

At this moment, Wen Xingyu only hoped to find Huan Yuechu as soon as possible, discuss this matter with her, and unravel the mystery.

Huan Yuechu has been investigating things recently and finally managed to subdue the enemy.

I was hoping to finally sleep in comfortably today and catch up on some sleep.

However, just as she was sleeping soundly, a series of urgent knocks on the door suddenly woke her from her sweet dream.

"Who is it? Knocking on the door so early!" Huan Yuechu muttered as she reluctantly opened her eyes, her heart filled with annoyance and irritation.
