Li Daogu's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Qi Yu, who was walking towards him step by step, his eyes wide with fury.
What?! How could you not control your spiritual power?!
What exactly did Qi Yu do to him?!
Li Daogu was naturally unaware that someone was secretly injecting wisps of demonic energy into his body. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was completely oblivious to this subtle action.
Qi Yu chuckled, holding the needle-like strand of hair with amusement. "Elder Li," she said, "tell me, if I were to stick this strand of hair into your body, would you just...?"
"Thump!" The girl's lips barely touched the ground, producing a sound that sent chills down Li Daogu's spine. "Shot to pieces?"
"Just like Elder Li destroyed my double back then?" Qi Yu raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
"No...no! Please!" Li Daogu looked at her as if she were the Black and White Impermanence who were about to drag him to hell, and finally knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
"I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! Please spare my life! I will never... I will never dare to oppose you again!" Li Daogu pleaded pitifully. "From now on, even if you want me to be your slave, I will do it without hesitation!"
"Serve me like a slave?" Qi Yu chuckled. "What can a Nascent Soul cultivator do for me?"
A mocking smile curled at the corners of her lips as she spat out cruel words, "Why don't you let Elder Li demonstrate to me whether this strand of my hair can actually pierce you?"
Elder Li closed his eyes, knowing there was no chance of survival, and his expression changed as he began to curse incessantly.
"Qi Yu! You cruel witch! You will not have a good end! Even if I, Li Daogu, become a ghost, I will not let you go!"
Qi Yu didn't even flinch, pinching the strand of hair and slowly bringing it closer to Li Daogu's neck...
Li Daogu trembled all over, awaiting his death.
The surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The onlookers and some of the Qiankun Fort disciples had already fled. The remaining Qiankun Fort disciples were intimidated by Qi Yu and dared not move.
Just as that strand of hair was about to touch Li Daogu...
"Wait!"
A somewhat familiar voice drifted from afar.
Qi Yu paused, gathered her hair, and looked in the direction of the sound.
A man dressed in white robes arrived on a sword.
It was none other than the True Man of Qiankun Fortress.
Master Dingfeng's expression was grim, clearly indicating that he had learned of Qi Yu's predicament from the Qiankun Fort disciples who had slipped away.
At this moment, feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Qi Yu that almost made him breathless, he sighed inwardly.
Li Daogu and Li An acted arrogantly, and sooner or later they would suffer the consequences. That's when they ran into Qi Yu, a hidden big shot.
He jumped off his longsword, frowned as he looked at Li Daogu on the ground, then sighed and looked at Qi Yu, "Miss Qi, the fortress master is currently in seclusion and has ordered me to come and discuss with you. Could you please show mercy and spare Elder Li for my sake?"
Dingfeng Zhenren's tone was troubled, as if he had no other choice.
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow.
She actually had a very good impression of Dingfeng Zhenren.
Back then, outside the gates of Wucheng, Master Dingfeng had the opportunity to capture her and bring her back. At that time, she made up a lie, but Master Dingfeng pretended not to see through her clumsy lie and let her go.
Of course, the fact that Chu Mo later informed Li Daogu, and Li Daogu then killed Qi Yu, was something that Dingfeng Zhenren had not anticipated.
Qi Yu knew in his heart that Dingfeng Zhenren was different from those despicable people in Qiankun Fort. He had his own set of moral standards, which was why he let her go at that time.
Therefore, she could spare Li Daogu's life out of respect for Dingfeng Zhenren.
After all, the system's rules still apply, and she can't kill people indiscriminately.
That feeling is not pleasant.
Qi Yu curled the corners of her lips, casually tossed the strand of hair aside, and said, "Sure."
Her tone was relaxed, and both Dingfeng Zhenren and Li Daogu were somewhat incredulous.
Li Daogu wondered suspiciously, "Qi Yu actually let him go like this?"
He almost killed her back then.
Master Dingfeng, convinced that Qi Yu was kind-hearted and repaid evil with good, hurriedly thanked her, saying, "Thank you, young lady! Qiankun Fortress will certainly prepare generous gifts to apologize to you..."
"Ah, you haven't finished yet." Qi Yu chuckled again, interrupting him, "You'd better take Elder Li back and treat him properly, why is his belly getting bigger and bigger?"
Li Daogu trembled all over. After sensing the spiritual energy within his body, he couldn't help but roar at Qi Yu, "Why can't I control my spiritual energy! What exactly did you do?"
Master Dingfeng's expression also changed, and he looked at Qi Yu with a hesitant expression.
"I didn't do anything." Qi Yu shrugged and chuckled, "Could it be that Elder Li used some evil cultivation methods in his daily practice, and this is probably a side effect?"
She had only said it casually, but Li Daogu suddenly became terrified as if struck by a knife, "You... how did you know?!"
Hmm? So he really has been practicing some kind of evil martial art?
Qi Yu looked at him with some surprise and said sarcastically, "There are no secrets in the world. Elder, you should think about how to save yourself."
After saying that, she turned and went into the clothing store, put the nice clothes she had just seen into her storage ring, handed the money to the trembling shopkeeper with a smile, and then swaggered past Li Daogu and Dingfeng Zhenren with Fengxiao in tow.
All the houses along the roadside had their doors and windows locked, and no one dared to gather around to watch.
Master Dingfeng watched Qi Yu's departing figure with a complicated expression, then was awakened by Li Daogu's mournful cries, "Quick! Take me back! Call the Pill Alliance here!"
Li Daogu's body grew larger and larger, even faster than before.
Just as Dingfeng Zhenren reached out and touched Li Daogu.
"boom--"
Accompanied by a terrifying, inhuman scream, a sound like a balloon exploding suddenly rang out.
Qi Yu, who had his back to Li Daogu and the others, paused and turned to look at Feng Xiao.
Feng Xiao noticed her gaze, smiled innocently, and asked, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"
Qi Yu looked at him, nodded slightly, and said ambiguously, "Not bad."
After she finished speaking, she continued walking towards the inn, but Feng Xiao stood there stunned.
Xiaoyu knew all of this...
He turned around and met the gaze of the stern-looking Master Dingfeng.
The True Man Dingfeng's white robe was stained with countless blood clots, making it look like a fiery red garment.
His lips parted slightly, and he stood there stunned, staring blankly at Feng Xiao, as if he had finally understood something.
Li Daogu had been blown into countless pieces of minced meat, just as he had blown Qi Yu's paper doll into pieces back then.
The disciples of Qiankun Fortress screamed in terror, "Elder Li! Elder Li has exploded!!!"
After a while, Feng Xiao smiled at Ding Feng Zhenren, then turned around and chased after Qi Yu.
"Xiaoyu! That crimson dress is nice; I'll wear it tomorrow."
"Um."
