She said that because "divine punishment" had no effect on her, and she actually could.
But for ordinary Xuan Masters, the same fate as Yuan Qingwan is inevitable.
Because it was a true "divine punishment" containing divine power, and no one could resist it.
The other party deliberately staged this incident with Yuan Qingwan in order to announce the existence of the gods and incite panic.
"So the harm this thing causes is so-so. People who don't come into contact with it don't need to be afraid at all; for those who do come into contact with it... be careful with your words and actions, and it's important to save your life."
Fang Yan immediately understood. "Thank you, Teacher Ruan. If you hadn't been here, I'm afraid the panic would have spread like a plague by now."
Because Mingzhuo acted so casually, Wen Shaoan and his attendants themselves became suspicious, thus preventing the spread of rumors at their source.
Wu Jiao also breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you have a way to deal with it. I'll go and report to the four elders."
He hung up the phone in a hurry, without even having time to chat with Mingzhuo for a few more minutes.
For example, the matter concerning Ruan Mulan's birth mother.
Mingzhuo put away his phone and then realized that the person next to him was still staring at him expectantly.
"Don't be afraid, divine punishment isn't actually that scary," she comforted gently.
Xie Xiao shook her head, then nodded. "I'm not afraid, I just think you're amazing."
She had always known that Mingzhuo was very capable, but she never expected that he would be facing such a person every day.
It takes immense strength to maintain such effortless and effortless control.
Xie Xiao whispered, "Zhuozhuo, you can even use divine punishment, so aren't you more powerful than the gods?"
Mingzhuo couldn't help but laugh, "You're right, I am more powerful than the gods. Whether it's a ghost king or a god, I'll cut them down without hesitation."
After Xie Xiao got out of the car, only Gu Xu and Ming Zhuo remained in the car.
Gu Xu parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the driver's seat, and went around to the back seat.
Mingzhuo, confused, asked, "What's wrong? Aren't we going back?"
"No rush, I want to take another look at your wound." Gu Xu's voice was gentle, but surprisingly forceful.
Mingzhuo had never seen Gu Xu like this before, and didn't dare to speak, obediently stretching out his hand for him to examine.
When she showed Gu Xu that wound before, it had already healed but was still a little red and swollen; now it was as smooth as before.
If it weren't for the blood still on his hands, he would look as if he had never been injured.
This healing ability far exceeds the scope of human capabilities.
Gu Xu seemed to have expected this, and only felt relieved after confirming it with his own eyes.
"I already told you I'm fine, those things can't hurt me." Mingzhuo spread her five fingers and looked at them. She also noticed that her healing ability had become stronger.
"Yes, you're very capable," Gu Xu said, then her tone softened, "but you're only human, and getting hurt will still hurt a lot. Promise me you'll try your best to avoid getting hurt in the future, okay?"
His eyes were focused and serious, his pupils were dark yet pure and clear, like obsidian, or like they were filled with starlight.
Mingzhuo already knew that Axu was good-looking, but now he realized that he was almost unfairly handsome!
She took a deep breath, withdrew her hand, and stepped back. "Okay, I understand."
No, she can't take this!
The saying goes, "things reach their extremes and then reverse." This is no longer a way to purify the soul; it's practically another form of bewitching magic.
Gu Xu felt a sudden emptiness in his palm, and his heart inexplicably felt empty as well.
He lowered his eyelashes, obscuring the color of his eyes, and after a moment he looked up at Mingzhuo and smiled, "Then I'm relieved."
Then he opened the car door, got out, got back into the driver's seat, and started the car.
He drove steadily and calmly throughout the entire process, until his agitation when braking at a red light slightly revealed his inner turmoil.
——
Mingzhuo hadn't even gotten home when he received a call from Xianze.
"Chu Yuqi has been kidnapped." He said with great interest, "You humans are so complicated. Luckily, I was smart enough to record a video. Hurry up and eat your melon."
The flounder is very friendly to humans and loves to join in the fun, and the scorpionfish takes this to the extreme.
When they first integrated into human society, they liked to take pictures of everything they saw, acting like country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
He toned it down a bit later and hadn't taken any more photos in a while, but the gossip he heard today shocked his whole family, so he couldn't wait to share it with his friends.
They not only sent the video to their WeChat group, but also to Ruan Mingxuan.
However, Ruan Mingxuan was busy in the lab at this time and didn't have time to pay attention to him.
So when Xianze heard the shocking news, he could only express his shock in various ways in the group chat.
Mingzhuo already knew the gist of it before even opening the video.
She revealed Chu Yuqi's whereabouts to Wu Jiao, and the Xuanmen sent Zhuang Xun to lead a team to rescue Chu Yuqi.
As a powerful demon, Xianze couldn't get involved with the mages, so he stayed far away to provide support, letting the simple-minded Pei Di rush ahead. When the incident happened, he found a big tree and sat on it to watch the excitement.
The shooting location was excellent, allowing for a comprehensive view of the gossip.
In short, Zhuang Xun and his team had finally managed to rescue Chu Yuqi from the thugs and were preparing to take her away.
At this moment, Bai Lingzhi arrived with the Bai family, saying that she wanted to take Chu Yuqi away.
Zhuang Xun was naturally unwilling to accept this. Although Chu Yuqi seemed to be a victim, there were still many suspicious points about her, and there were still many things that had not been clarified during the interrogation.
The arrest warrant has been withdrawn, but the person still needs to be taken back for interrogation. They will only be released after it is confirmed that there is no suspicion against them.
This is all standard procedure, and Bai Lingzhi certainly understands it, which is why the two sides are deadlocked.
Zhuang Xun had a fiery temper to begin with, and although he had toned it down a bit in the past six months, the thought of the Bai family making things difficult for Ming Zhuo made him lose his patience.
They directly questioned Bai Lingzhi about the Bai family's intentions and why they were protecting Chu Yuqi at every turn.
Then Bai Lingzhi looked around at everyone and said, word by word, "Because Chu Yuqi is my younger sister, the next head of the Bai family. Now, I am qualified to take her away, aren't I?"
These words were like a thunderbolt dropped from a clear sky, leaving everyone stunned and bewildered.
Zhuang Xun was probably stunned. He only just realized what was happening and made a phone call to Ming Zhuo to explain the situation.
Mingzhuo had already heard the gossip, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him: "Are you alright?"
Zhuang Xun: "...Teacher Ruan, aren't you surprised? Chu Yuqi is actually Elder Bai's illegitimate daughter!"
"She is not."
Zhuang Xun asked, somewhat puzzled, "Teacher Ruan, what are you talking about?"
"Never mind." Ming Zhuo didn't know how to explain. "Anyway, you guys can just watch the show. Bai Tingtao, that old senile man, really has lost his mind. He deserves to be scolded."
Zhuang Xun: "..."
Teacher Ruan, you were a bit too harsh with your scolding.
He hung up the phone with a dreamy expression, of course he wouldn't gossip with others, and even had to restrain his subordinates from spreading rumors.
But without a doubt, news of today's incident will quickly spread throughout the entire Xuanmen sect.
Elder Bai, one of the four elders, has a poor moral character and will likely have to step down soon.
The Bai family of the Xuanmen sect is likely about to undergo a major upheaval.
