This sound served no purpose other than to declare his weakness and powerlessness.

However, Ye Qinghan also learned the identity of the man whose life had been spared through this incident.

Ye Qinghan only then realized that the person Xu Zhan had sealed in the center of the hall was a woman.

However, she felt no pity for the woman who had murdered her mother; she wished she could tear her apart with her bare hands!

But she wasn't in a hurry. She knew Xu Zhanfeng would handle everything; this steward had always been very reliable.

Aside from the disgusting habit of calling everyone "Grandma" and "Second Grandma"...

Ye Qinghan didn't even know how Xu Zhanfeng could tell that the woman had a wife, children, and elderly relatives, but Xu Zhanfeng had done it anyway.

At this moment, the entire Holy Domain, including the Holy Domain Lord, only has fifteen people left.

They practically annihilated the entire Holy Land before pausing briefly, and it wasn't even finished yet!

At this moment, Xu Zhanfeng spoke.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Zhanfeng, and I am a steward of Lingxian Palace."

Xu Zhanfeng grabbed the woman's hair and forced her to look up at Ye Qinghan, treating her like an object.

“That’s my great-grandmother over there.”

"I have never had any grudge against Lingxian Palace..."

"Shut your mouth!" With a roar, Xu Zhanfeng grabbed the head and slammed it hard onto the ground!

Xu Zhanfeng was furious. "I was just about to introduce my great-grandmother!"

How dare you interrupt me! Are you out of your mind?!

If it weren't for the master's order to let you die in the most desperate way, do you think you would still be alive today?

"I have come here on the orders of the Lingxian Palace Master to collect a debt."

When the long-haired woman looked at Ye Qinghan again, she instantly understood that this was a debt from several years ago.

"The sins of the family should not be visited upon them; the debts I incur myself, could I perhaps...?"

Ye Qinghan was about to speak when the butler spoke very quickly.

"No, the master means that no one will be spared, and you will be the last to die."

After saying that, Xu Zhanfeng stabbed the filial son who had just saved his mother right in front of the woman, and listened to the woman's heart-wrenching screams. This was Xu Zhanfeng's job.

Ye Qinghan turned around, and for some reason, those feelings that shouldn't have been there resurfaced in her heart.

Master's teachings still echoed in my ears. If that man were given time, he would use the sword of revenge to cut Master and Shi Yao's necks. Then it would be too late to regret it.

Ye Qinghan always thought she was cold-blooded and ruthless enough.

Along the way, he killed countless people and was jokingly called King Yama Ye.

In retrospect, she has always been a child in her master's eyes, which is understandable.

To think that she could have such childish thoughts that had nothing to do with the child, she honestly felt ashamed!

Following standard procedure, Xu Zhanfeng said no more, but focused on doing his job meticulously, using every means to make this ignorant woman feel despair.

The wails seemed to echo throughout the hall, reaching the heavens, but they mostly came from the woman.

Ye Qinghan originally intended to go out and wait for Xu Zhanfeng to finish everything before calling her.

But upon reflection, isn't this also a part of the cultivation process?

Shi Yao is kind-hearted and can live a carefree life, even if she's a little silly.

Ye Qinghan had no objection to this; it was also what she and her master hoped for—to eat their fill and play happily every day.

Whether you cultivate or not doesn't matter, as long as you're happy every day.

The "Joyful Plan" that Master devised for Li Shiyao only required her to be happy, and there were no other requirements.

Although his master only hoped that Ye Qinghan would be safe and sound, Ye Qinghan was not satisfied with that.

Master's Lingxian Palace will grow strong and famous sooner or later, with countless disciples.

How can she be merely a figurehead as the top disciple of Lingxian Palace?

She hoped she was useful, the fox that her master would think of first when he needed something, rather than the first person to be left behind.

Although this was also a sign of her master's favor, she hoped to be able to stand on her own two feet and didn't want to stay a child forever.

It was a bit naive, but that was Ye Qinghan's thought at that moment—the naive yet sincere thought of a sixteen-year-old.

As she watched Xu Zhanfeng dismember them one by one in front of the woman, even the woman, known as a powerful demon and the lord of the Holy Domain, shed tears.

Ye Qinghan didn't know if this counted as regret, but she wasn't prepared to forgive the other party; it was a betrayal of her mother.

"Your Highness, I beg you, spare my daughter!"

At this moment, besides her...

In the vast Holy Domain, only her daughter remained; everyone else had been completely eliminated by Xu Zhan.

Ye Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to signal Xu Zhanfeng that he could stop.

Xu Zhanfeng looked at Ye Qinghan with slight surprise and then spoke up.

"Madam, this is for the master..."

Ye Qinghan simply gestured for him to move aside, then stepped forward, intending to have a brief chat with the woman.

Xu Zhanfeng said no more, moved a chair for Ye Qinghan, helped Ye Qinghan sit down, and then stood to the side.

Although he didn't think the woman still had the strength to attack his wife, there were many things he had to be wary of.

Xu Zhanfeng could tell that although these people were all at the Nascent Soul stage, their strength was comparable to that of cultivators at the Integration stage.

If he were to strike with all his might, given the Great Madam's cultivation level, he would likely be injured...

This is strange, but this matter needs to be reported to the master before a decision can be made, as he is not sure either.

"Why are you crying? Are you scared?" Ye Qinghan had no pity left at this moment. Looking at that face and thinking of his mother's fate, anger mixed with demonic nature overwhelmed his little bit of kindness.
