Chapter 156 Slaughter
Chapter 156 Slaughter
"Yu Zhihua, Jiao Chenzhou, you have invited quite a few distinguished guests today!"
Yu Lishuang gently shook her finger, and Yu Zhihua, whose eyes had rolled back, collapsed to the ground like a puppet with a broken string, panting heavily.
Having regained some consciousness, Yu Zhihua's face was filled with despair. She looked up at Yu Lishuang and hissed:
"Ancestor, you ruined my cultivation?! Why?! Why?!"
Yu Lishuang looked at her coldly and shook her head:
"You are at least a Nascent Soul cultivator. Wouldn't it be a waste for me to cripple your cultivation? I'm just letting you suffer a bit."
Yu Zhihua refused to believe her. Her physical body was riddled with holes, and any slight movement would cause it to collapse and dissipate. The primordial spirit within her spiritual aperture was almost completely gone, and it was being slowly drawn away by the eerie moonlight, on the verge of dissipating and disappearing.
She dared not imagine the terrible consequences of her primordial spirit collapsing, and she felt extreme fear and hatred towards Yu Lishuang.
"You do not trust me?"
Yu Lishuang looked at Yu Zhihua's fearful, disgusted, and on the verge of collapse eyes, and chuckled softly.
With a light flick of his fingers, he touched Yu Zhihua's spiritual aperture.
The clear light that Lianbao showered down no longer tore at Yu Zhihua's primordial spirit. Instead, it surged in from all sides, causing Yu Zhihua's primordial spirit to swell up like a water-blown balloon.
"Do not!!"
Yu Zhihua was startled, thinking it was another new method of torture from Yu Lishuang. The feeling of having one's primordial spirit forcefully poured into someone was not pleasant.
Forgetting everything else for a moment, Yu Zhihua's expression changed, and she closed her eyes tightly to guard her mind and resist the great change in her primordial spirit.
Yu Lishuang waited until her expression calmed down before impatiently scolding her:
"Yu Zhihua! Now you know I wasn't lying to you! Get up quickly, there's something to do!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhihua quickly opened her eyes, both surprised and delighted, and stood up with a mixture of doubt and surprise.
At this moment, her primordial spirit not only regained its former appearance, but also seemed to have advanced to a higher level in cultivation, with some changes in its form and substance. That damned, strange moonlight flowed incessantly through her primordial spirit, seemingly taking root within it; who knows what worrying consequences it might bring.
Upon thinking of this, Yu Zhihua couldn't help but feel hatred towards Yu Lishuang. She screamed, her face turned pale, and she knelt down again.
As if she had foreseen this, Yu Lishuang was not surprised at all by Yu Zhihua's strange behavior. On the contrary, she was quite relaxed and enjoyed the view from the side.
Yu Zhihua was in excruciating pain, her head covered in cold sweat, until the pain gradually subsided and she regained consciousness after her mind went blank.
"Ancestor!"
Suspecting that Yu Lishuang had done something, Yu Zhihua questioned her aloud. As soon as the evil thought surged, the familiar feeling of being slowly sliced to death in her primordial spirit immediately returned.
Startled, Yu Zhihua quickly banished the evil thoughts from her mind and forced herself to be happy in order to stabilize her spirit.
"Ancestor..."
Yu Zhihua even changed her tone, flattering Yu Lishuang and frantically implying the goodness of her ancestor.
The primordial spirit was no longer in danger of pain, and it even grew rapidly as a result, exceeding the effect of daily cultivation.
The shock that Yu Zhihua felt was unimaginable.
"You're quite sensible; you didn't suffer too much."
Yu Lishuang gave a cold laugh, confirming Yu Zhihua's suspicions.
"From now on, you will serve my family faithfully! The more you respect and obey your master, the faster your cultivation will progress. If you harbor even the slightest dissatisfaction, you have already seen the consequences!"
Yu Lishuang's words struck Yu Zhihua like a bolt from the blue, almost making her lose her balance.
Yu Zhihua had been proud for nearly a thousand years. She harbored resentment and anger, but dared not let it go unchecked. Gritting her teeth, she smiled and curtsied to Yu Lishuang.
"Zhihua thanks Ancestor for granting your request!"
Yu Lishuang nodded and looked at the crowd in the main hall of Yaotai Palace:
"Since you are sensible, the Yaotai Sect will be temporarily under your management."
"The first thing is to clean house. Kill all your followers who are disloyal to the sect. We'll start with this hall!"
As soon as Yu Lishuang uttered those words, not only the disciples and guests in the hall, but even Luo Sifan and Yu Xinlian were startled.
At this moment, Yu Zhihua, as if bewitched, agreed without hesitation:
"I will obey the ancestral instructions!"
As she descended from the hall, Yu Zhi remained expressionless, searching out each of her disciples one by one.
With a swift movement, Yu Zhihua shattered the souls of her disciples one by one, ignoring their terrified and pleading expressions, and threw them to the ground.
In no time, more than ten corpses lay on the main hall, frightening the other disciples and guests, who all turned pale and regretted coming to the wrong place, wondering if they would be next.
Before Luo Sifan could speak, Yu Zhihua had already moved like the wind, returning gracefully after finishing her task.
Looking at the dozen or so beautiful women who had instantly sprawled across the hall, lifeless and slumped over, Luo Sifan couldn't help but frown, feeling a pang of pity.
Yu Xinlian's face was filled with horror, and her body trembled slightly. As the sect leader of Yaotai Sect, this was the first time she had witnessed someone from her sect die such a violent death, as insignificant as grass.
"Ancestor, I have completed the task you instructed me to undertake."
Yu Zhihua seemed like a completely different person, a charming smile on her face, as she bowed and reported to Yu Lishuang.
"very good!"
Yu Lishuang's face remained calm as she replied indifferently:
"How many of your disciples are left in this hall?"
"There are two more. They have clean backgrounds, have followed their subordinates since childhood, are loyal to the sect, and show no signs of collusion with other sects, aristocratic families, or royal families."
Yu Lishuang nodded, gestured, and released the two disciples that Yu Zhihua had pointed out. She then beckoned with her finger to summon the two trembling, absent-minded women.
"Both of you have always been loyal to our sect and have never colluded with outsiders. From now on, work diligently under Yu Zhihua. Our sect will not treat you unfairly."
The two women nearly collapsed in fear before Yu Lishuang. Only now did they realize that their usually dismissive ancestor was so domineering and ruthless, killing without hesitation.
They just kept nodding, thankful that they had escaped a disaster today.
Since Yu Lishuang has already eliminated Yu Zhihua's faction, she will naturally not let the other disciples of the Yaotai Sect go.
With Yu Zhihua and Jiao Chenzhou providing corroborating evidence, the Yaochi lineage, consisting of more than ten people, was questioned by Yu Lishuang. Without hesitation, she killed seven or eight out of ten of them in the blink of an eye, leaving only three or four people behind.
When asked about Yu Yaoxiang, the woman was quite stubborn and immediately admitted it:
“That’s right, I, Yu Yaoxiang, am a member of the Yun family of the Tianfeng Dynasty! Yu Lishuang, kill me if you want!”
Yu Lishuang raised an eyebrow, and Yu Zhihua was about to make a move.
Luo Sifan finally couldn't hold back any longer. He put down the pale-faced Yu Xinlian and stepped in front of Yu Yaoxiang.
For some reason, Yu Zhihua was startled in front of Luo Sifan and obediently lowered her hand.
"Li Shuang! Why such a bloody massacre? If the Yun family has no grudge against the Yaotai Sect, why not just punish them and expel them from the sect?"
Luo Sifan was also somewhat afraid of Yu Lishuang, and cautiously pleaded with her.
Yu Lishuang silently watched Luo Sifan jump out, and shook her head helplessly:
"You can't even handle this little bit? You've really changed your mindset."
After speaking, Yu Lishuang walked out of the hall on her own:
"Since the younger ones won't allow killing, let's start by killing the older ones!"
Suddenly, a tremendous tremor shook the main hall, causing the entire Fairy Peak to tremble.
The sea of clouds, thousands of feet high, seemed to have been torn open, and rushed towards one place.
