"Master Mei, I was completely bewildered by what you just said; I couldn't understand a single word!"

Upon hearing Mei Ruohua's murderous words, Zhao Banshan felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his heart trembled as if struck by a heavy hammer.

But at this critical juncture of life and death, he knew he must not show the slightest fear, so he put on an innocent look and said to Mei Ruohua.

"Don't understand? Then go ask the King of Hell!"

Mei Ruohua had no time to waste on Zhao Banshan. She gently raised her hand and gave a wink to her subordinates, including the Second Elder Yelü Hong. Her eyes were as cold as frost, as if they carried endless killing intent.

Yelü Hong understood immediately. He pointed his sword at Zhao Banshan and Zhao Tiancheng and shouted, "You'd better know your place and commit suicide to atone for your sins! Our Valley Master is merciful and might spare the lives of the rest of your Zhao family. But if you dare to resist, then the Zhao family will face annihilation!"

As Yelü Hong finished speaking, the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth elders of the Divine Doctor Valley drew their weapons from their waists or backs, instantly creating a murderous atmosphere.

Their faces were all cold and stern, their eyes filled with undisguised killing intent. They were just waiting for Mei Ruohua's order to pounce on the Zhao family like tigers descending the mountain.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Banshan felt a sense of foreboding and his legs began to tremble slightly involuntarily.

But he knew he couldn't just sit and wait for death, so he immediately knelt down with a thud, pleading tearfully, "Valley Master Mei, our Zhao family has been cooperating with the Divine Physician Valley for decades. Over the years, we've certainly put in a lot of hard work, even if we haven't achieved anything great! As for our collaboration with Elder Yun Zhilan and the Su family to refine Fang Han into a medicinal man, we were truly bewitched by Su Yuande's wife! That woman is said to be the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect, with strange methods and an extremely strong power to bewitch people. We simply couldn't resist her temptation. But now we've realized our mistake! We beg Valley Master Mei to be magnanimous and give us a chance to reform!"

As Zhao Banshan spoke, he kept kowtowing, his forehead hitting the ground heavily with a "thud," and soon his head was bleeding profusely, looking extremely miserable.

He knew very well that if he fought against the people of the Divine Doctor Valley, the Zhao family would surely suffer a devastating disaster.

It should be noted that Yelü Hong, the second elder of the Divine Doctor Valley, is already a master in the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, while the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth elders are all high-level Martial Grandmasters with extraordinary strength.

Any one of these elders, if picked out randomly, would be stronger than Zhao Banshan.

Once they make a move, the Zhao family will be like ants facing an elephant, utterly powerless against them.

"Repent and start anew? Hmph! You'd better go to the underworld and slowly repent!"

Mei Ruohua's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking sneer that was so cold it made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Master Mei, do you... do you really intend to exterminate our Zhao family?"

Zhao Tiancheng, who had been kneeling to the side with a deathly pale face, could no longer contain his anger and despair. He suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, glaring at Mei Ruohua as if fire were about to spit out.

"Do you think I'm joking with your Zhao family? Because of what your Zhao family did, I almost offended Mr. Fang Han and nearly lost my life! I'm going to settle this score with you today!"

Mei Ruohua's expression was stern.

"Valley Master Mei, you should also know that my daughter, Zhao Ziyi, has already been accepted as a disciple by the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect. Moreover, Elder Sword Maniac has made an exception and wants to take her as his heir. Once she breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, she can cultivate day and night by Elder Sword Maniac's side. As for my eldest son, Zhao Wu, he is a centurion in the Demon Suppression Army and enjoys the deep trust of the Demon Suppression Army's commander. In the future, my son and daughter are destined to become powerful figures! If you destroy our Zhao family today, aren't you afraid that they will return and destroy your Divine Healer Valley after they have mastered their skills?"

Zhao Tiancheng glared and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Zhao Ziyi? It's said she's the one who poisoned Fang Han back then. Hmph, with the crimes she committed, she thinks she can become a giant? She's delusional! She'll die by Fang Han's sword sooner or later!"

Mei Ruohua remained calm and spoke indifferently, as if Zhao Tiancheng's words could not stir up the slightest ripple in her heart.

She paused slightly, then continued, "As for Zhao Wu, he's just a centurion; he's hardly a threat. Do you really think the Demon Suppression Army commander would turn against my Divine Healer Valley for his sake?"

"My grandson, Zhao Wu, possesses the Azure Wood Bloodline, an extremely rare physique! He has already won the favor of Li Qionghua, the adopted daughter of Prince Li Wentian, the commander of the Demon Suppression Army. If you destroy my Zhao family today, you will be making an enemy of Prince Li Wentian! In Tianyuan County, no one has ever dared to be so audacious!"

At this moment, Zhao Banshan seemed to have grasped at the last straw. He stood up and became more assertive.

He straightened his back, his eyes revealing a hint of madness and determination. It seemed that Zhao Wu's relationship with Prince Li Wentian, the commander of the Demon Suppression Army, was the Zhao family's last resort. With this relationship, no one in Tianyuan County would dare to provoke the Zhao family.

"What, are you trying to threaten me, Mei Ruohua, with Zhao Ziyi and Zhao Wu?"

Mei Ruohua's lips curled up slightly, her eyes looking at a group of clowns. "Then I'll see what terrible consequences will come when I kill all of you evil bastards today!"

After speaking, her eyes sharpened, and with a flick of her slender fingers, she made a crisp and decisive gesture to the Second Elder, Yelü Hong.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Tiancheng's face instantly turned ashen, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair.
