Chapter 127 What's wrong with killing all your closest relatives?
Chapter 127 What's wrong with killing all your closest relatives?
She didn't go all the way, but these people became even more ruthless.
If we continue to back down, we'll only be asking for trouble.
A resolute glint flashed in Zhai Rongyu's eyes as she said to Minister Zhai, "Father, I'm going to the palace."
Minister Zhai was worried about her.
"Rong'er, your father will go to the palace with you."
Zhai Rongyu refused.
"Please stay here and rest well."
"Don't you trust my abilities, Father?"
[The father had just learned the truth about the mother's death, and was inevitably shocked.]
If you come with me to the palace...
I'm starting to worry about his health.
Who knows what kind of trap Jun Yinghuai has dug for me to fall into?
I'll be able to manage if I go alone.
Listening to her thoughts and recalling the scene of her immobilizing the Fourth Concubine, Minister Zhai pondered for a long time before nodding.
Very well, if I go to the palace, I'm afraid I'll only bring trouble to Rong'er.
If something really happens, she is capable of protecting herself. Her presence would only become a source of worry and hindrance for her.
"Rong'er, be careful in everything you do. If you encounter any difficulties, just run away."
Zhai Rongyu nodded, somewhat amused.
"Don't worry, Father, I'm quick on my feet."
There is no one in this world who can catch up with my talisman.
[Except for Master.]
Minister Zhai was relieved to hear this.
Zhai Jiqing was initially worried, but now he is relieved.
He wants to go back and study even harder!
I will pass the imperial examinations in the future and protect my little sister in my own way!
When the Crown Prince summoned Zhai Rong to the palace, the people gradually dispersed.
However, someone in the crowd whispered, "I just heard that the Three Pure Ones are also in the palace."
"Could it be that someone really went to Yuqing Temple to worship the gods, and it worked?"
"They've sent the Three Pure Ones to subdue this demoness?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let her hear you. This demoness's magic is formidable; perhaps only a master like the Three Pure Ones could deal with her."
"But I heard that the Three Pure Ones were once defeated by this demoness..."
"Don't you know? The Three Pure Ones have returned from their seclusion, and they are even more powerful than before!"
"Is this serious?"
The man nodded. "Absolutely true!"
"A few days ago, I personally witnessed the Three Pure Ones subduing demons in the desolate wilderness!"
"His skills are even better than before!"
"I wonder how much of a chance we have against this witch."
They shook their heads and left, but unfortunately, they were in the palace and couldn't witness the excitement firsthand.
Zhai Rongyu listened to these discussions and paused in her tracks.
A glint flashed in her eyes.
They then followed the eunuch into the carriage, which headed towards the palace.
Wuwang Mountain.
The entire mountaintop was covered in a blanket of white snow, and a small wooden cabin could be vaguely seen among the snow.
A blind old Taoist priest sat cross-legged in front of the wooden house, holding his breath and practicing his internal energy.
Suddenly, the light flickered for a moment.
He seemed to sense something and opened his eyes.
His cloudy eyes couldn't focus, so he stretched out his right hand to make a hand gesture to calculate, then suddenly stopped, his expression turning serious.
"not good!"
"The calamity destined for Ah and his disciple has begun."
"A mishandling of this situation could be life-threatening!"

Royal Palace Altar.
Zhai Rongyu alighted from the carriage and saw that both the Three Pure Ones and Jun Yinghuai were present. A contemptuous smile appeared on her lips.
I knew it, those two are hooking up.
[Truly, all crows are black.]
[I was wondering why it wasn't raining; turns out these two had really given me a headache.]
The Three Pure Ones walked to the edge of the altar, spread their arms, and laughed wildly: "Soul from another world, this humble Daoist will fight you again on this very altar today!"
Do you dare to accept the challenge?
He stared intently at Zhai Rongyu, his eyes filled with malice and ferocity.
Today, he will definitely avenge his shame!
Once he captures Zhai Rongyu, he will cut off her fingers one by one to avenge the loss of her skills!
Zhai Rongyu ignored him and turned to look at Jun Yinghuai.
"Did you spread the rumors in the city?"
Jun Yinghuai, wearing a jade crown and a purple robe, sat languidly on the throne opposite the altar, and chuckled with a sinister tone: "Zhai Rongyu, you have really misunderstood me."
"You are Mu Ling's sister. I wish you all the best, how could I possibly harm you?"
Zhai Rongyu chuckled.
"Don't think I don't know."
"You start going crazy when you can't find your sister. If she knew how you treated me and her family, would you still have a future together?"
Jun Yinghuai's expression suddenly turned sinister: "You actually dare to mention her!"
"If it weren't for your constant obstruction, Mu Ling would have been my Crown Princess long ago!"
He stood up, supporting himself on the table with both hands, his eyes bloodshot.
"I'll ask you one last time!"
"Where did you hide Mu Ling?!"
Zhai Rong twirled the ribbon with her fingers, her red lips parting slightly as she spoke a provocative remark: "You'll never see her again in your life."
"Even if I die here today, I will not tell you."
Jun Yinghuai clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the table.
He then slowly laughed and sat back down in his chair, looking somewhat unwell.
"is it?"
Then you shall die here today!
He looked at the Three Pure Ones and said leisurely, "Rumors of a demoness are spreading throughout the city. My uncle is not in the palace, so I have no choice but to come out and take charge of the situation."
"The Three Pure Ones are highly skilled in Taoism. They are willing to act on behalf of Heaven to slay demons and eliminate evil. This is truly a fortunate event for Longyan."
He gave Zhai Rongyu a somewhat indifferent look.
Suddenly, he seemed to have become a different person, putting on a gentle smile: "Zhai Rongyu, if you want to prove that you are not a demoness, you must pass through the formation of the Three Pure Ones in order to protect your reputation."
"Otherwise, if the entire Minister's mansion is implicated, I will not be able to save them."
He chuckled sinisterly.
"Now that the entire Fashion Academy has been destroyed, I wonder if Mu Ling will return to keep vigil for her loved ones?"
A frenzied fire flickered in his eyes.
Mu Ling, no matter how far you run, I will find a way to bring you back.
What harm is there in killing all your closest relatives?
As long as I can bring you back, even if it makes you hate me for the rest of your life, I will be happy to do it!
Zhai Rong narrowed her eyes dangerously.
That yandere has gone mad again.
[Further words are useless; let's wipe them out today!]
Otherwise, the consequences will be dire!
She wasted no more time, leaping onto the high platform and shouting, "Han Guang Sword, come forth!"
The blue sword instantly materialized from the void and landed steadily in Zhai Rongyu's hand.
She gripped the sword hilt with one hand, pointing it directly at the Three Pure Ones.
"Today, your great-aunt will play with you all!"
The Three Pure Ones laughed wildly, and with a burst of energy from his palms, a powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire altar, like an invisible semicircle, covering him and Zhai Rongyu.
A chilling light flickered in his eyes.
"Soul of another world, this is the vessel I painstakingly crafted for you. Today, it will be the place where your corpse rests!"
Do you like it?
Zhai Rongyu looked up at the semi-circular aura, where black runes could be vaguely seen moving through the surging air currents.
She couldn't help but be a little surprised.
When did this demonic cultivator's cultivation level increase so much?
[They even managed to use this Heaven-Subduing Divine Incantation.]
[But that's good, it makes the fights more exciting!]
She composed herself, and with a wave of her right hand, the blue light on the Han Guang sword intensified.
