This time, Qin Zhaoyue was truly just a figurehead, without even a chance to make a move.

Even until his death, the opponent failed to launch any attack on what seemed to be her weakest link.

To be honest, the feeling of being in a dangerous situation while being able to easily defeat the enemy simply by watching from the sidelines...

There was indeed a subtle sense of comfort about it.

Carrying his mother on his back, he leaped lightly from the eaves and landed silently.

Jiang Wuyai clapped his hands, dispersing the residual force of his palm strike, and laughed with a rather unrestrained and arrogant air:

"Junior sister, what did your senior brother say? It'll be easy to handle."

"Senior brother is so great!" Qin Zhaoyue readily praised.

"Hehehe..." Jiang Wuyai laughed with satisfaction.

The three entered the main hall, which was now shrouded in a thick green mist.

Inside the hall, the four newly appointed leaders of the aristocratic families were no longer as composed as before. Their faces were contorted with rage, and their eyes were bulging and bloodshot.

He was desperately scratching his neck and chest with both hands, as if something was gnawing at them from the inside.

Some people were curled up on the ground in pain, emitting hoarse hissing sounds;

Some people rolled and struggled uncontrollably, knocking tables and chairs over and over, losing all composure and appearing frantic.

Aya stood where the mist had thinned, looked up at the three people who stepped in through the door, and a bewitching smile bloomed on her lips.

"I think controlling them is more useful than killing them outright."

To save time, the process was inevitably a little rushed and rough.

Sixth Prince, you shouldn't... mind, right?

Putting aside her chilling methods, this move did indeed demonstrate a degree of quick wit and decisiveness.

Qin Zhaoyue showed no displeasure at her unauthorized decision.

He glanced indifferently at the four people struggling in pain on the ground, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger:

"You certainly know how to increase your bargaining power."

Even with ruthless methods, it is by no means easy to distort people's hearts and control their will in a short period of time.

Sorcerers may have unique skills in manipulating the mind, but their principles are completely different from the witchcraft of the Southern Frontier.

Ayado only sought absolute control in the short term, even at the cost of exhausting the minds and life force of these four patriarchs.

"Please wait a moment, Your Highness, it will take about a quarter of an hour." Her voice sounded slightly tired.

Although these four individuals possessed only average cultivation levels, as heirs carefully nurtured by aristocratic families, their mental fortitude far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Even with such ruthless and reckless measures, it will still take some time for the Gu worms to take root and grow deep within the mind before they can be effective.

"Alright," Qin Zhaoyue replied, then turned to look at the two people beside her.

"Senior brothers and sisters, please take this opportunity to show me around this mansion."

“Okay,” Jiang Wuyai immediately replied, always ready to respond to any question.

"What does Junior Sister want to see? I think the scenery in this garden is quite ordinary and unremarkable."

"Take a look at the person." Qin Zhaoyue said calmly.

Huh? Jiang Wuyai looked puzzled.

Chu Xinglan glanced at him.

Aside from cultivation and enlightenment, this senior brother of mine is truly clueless about human relationships, worldly affairs, and scheming.

He shook his head almost imperceptibly, and a whispered message was quietly sent into Jiang Wuyai's ear.

Jiang Wuyai was visibly stunned for a moment, his gaze instinctively glancing at his junior sister, whose expression remained indifferent as always, and he thought to himself:

Good heavens, that's some pretty ruthless thinking.

Although he wasn't sure if it was really as Junior Sister Chu thought, he still opened his "domain" as instructed, completely concealing the figures and auras of the three of them.

Jiang Wuyai quickly understood; that was indeed what it meant.

The three of them started from the front yard and swept across the entire mansion like a silent tide.

Naturally, it was Jiang Wuyai and Chu Xinglan who made the move.

Under the spiritual perception of a second-grade Grandmaster, no aura in the mansion could be hidden.

Even the few third-rank retainers invited by aristocratic families failed to stir up the slightest ripple.

Wherever they went, guards, servants, guests, and relatives were all silently wiped out in an instant.

Because of the extreme speed and clean, efficient technique, those people didn't even have time to feel the pain before their souls were scattered.

A moment later, when the three returned to the main hall, their clothes were spotless, without a trace of blood.

At this moment, the only survivors in this mansion are the four patriarchs of noble families in the hall, whose minds are controlled and whose lives are in the hands of others.

Qin Zhaoyue's face remained expressionless, but in reality, she had already diverted a portion of her mind to the Book of Merits in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Sure enough, on the page about the "Four Great Families," a large amount of merit points were surging in.

The speed at which the numbers are growing is astonishing.

Even if a powerful family still has some deeply hidden schemes and plans, this battle has almost completely uprooted its core strength and accumulated foundation over the years, making it impossible for them to stir up trouble again in the short term.

The top-tier martial arts force and core strategists who maintain the operation of the aristocratic families are mostly gathered in this mansion, and now more than 90% of them have been wiped out.

Qin Zhaoyue even had a vague feeling that the merit points flowing in at this moment might be enough to remove the troublesome toxins from her mother's body.

However, to ensure complete success, she decided to play it safe and wait until the southern border was completely pacified and her mission was accomplished before taking action.

Regardless, this is a joyous occasion, and her long journey and perilous adventures have been worthwhile.

The day when I can finally get a good night's sleep seems to be just around the corner.

Asa!

Jiang Wuyai, who had been secretly watching her, caught a fleeting, extremely bright and satisfied smile on her lips and couldn't help but shiver slightly.
