As everyone held their breath, Nan Ronghong crushed Elder Yang's neck with a single palm. The man died, his Nascent Soul spilling out of his throat. He continued to plead, "Ronghong! The Wangchen Sect raised you, after all. Why are you so ruthless and ruthless?! Back then, that elixir was only prepared privately by Qingxiao and me. The Sect Master and his wife truly had no knowledge of it!!!"
Nan Qingxiao, the previous leader of the Wangchen Sect. As for why he was the previous one, he committed suicide ten years ago after encountering danger while traveling, completely destroying his cultivation techniques. Even now, the position of leader is still held by his elderly father. With the protection of the Body-Building Sect, while the sect is neither up nor down, it's at least less dangerous.
"Yes, you acted on your own initiative. The other two were unaware of it." Nan Ronghong sneered, "They didn't know at first, and they didn't know later? Nan Qingxiao was jealous of my cultivation, so he took the opportunity to drug me, completely eliminating my chance of competing with him for power. This was a heinous crime punishable by death. My dear parents clearly found out about it later, but what did they do?!"
"Hide it! Hide it together!! Keep silent!! Play dumb!!! Anyway, things have come to this. One is the daughter of an arranged marriage who cannot be promoted, and the other is the next head who is highly anticipated. They know only too well which is more important. Why must it be the elixir? The Out-of-Body Stage is already very high. You may have just reached a bottleneck. It's normal for your cultivation to stagnate. Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, it will be fine. You're not going out anyway. Were they still unaware when they said all this?! What bullshit!!!"
Wave after wave, everyone was stunned.
It's like lifting up a carpet, revealing years of filth underneath, so pungent that people have to cover their noses.
Xue Lingxiu frowned and said, "I'm saying, Madam Nan... no, Senior Nan's cultivation attributes aren't conducive to conception. If she were to force a child, she'd have to pay a huge price. Medicinal pills? Nan Qingxiao used something like that on his own sister? Just because she's more advanced in cultivation? Because she's more famous than me?"
He showed the same expression of incomprehension as when Nan Ronghong described Ji Shang's murder process.
Ruin someone's future is tantamount to murder. They are siblings, so where does the deep hatred come from?
"If her cultivation level remains inferior to mine and she stays content in the sect, then Nan Qingxiao won't mind supporting her for the rest of her life." Ji Rongxue said, "If there's any kinship, it's because Nan Ronghong doesn't compete with him for things."
"Even if we don't compete with him, as long as we get even slightly ahead of him, we're no longer family, but enemies." Qiao Lingshan said, "Senior Nan doesn't even have the intention of competing with him... Why would it come to this..."
Qi Zhiye said: "Because of jealousy."
In a nutshell, Nan Ronghong made him feel threatened. It was easy to eliminate her, but when she resorted to such ruthless tactics, it was hard not to sense a motive for venting her anger. The marriage scheme was incredibly clever; it benefited both herself and others, and it could also offer a false sense of comfort.
The Taoist partner chosen for her is the best one in the world. With the sect's support, she will have no worries for the rest of her life. It's simply the best of both worlds!
He could also stay away from the violence and grudges of the underworld. This was the life many people dreamed of, so how could Nan Ronghong not be satisfied? Of course, he said this, but if he really had to live this kind of life, he would definitely not agree.
Elder Yang's Nascent Soul was dazed. He said, "Rong Hong, you... did you kill Qing Xiao as well?!"
He felt guilty, having kept this secret for years. Now, it had been ruthlessly exposed, and in Nan Ronghong's hands, his life was doomed. Even as death approached, he could only repeat, "Why kill them all?" and "Someone is innocent." Nan Ronghong pinched him, saying, "You're saying it wrong. What does 'why?' Don't you understand how to speak in this moment? If you don't, I'll teach you. 'Please let me go,' 'Please don't kill me all,' you can't even say something as simple as that?"
Elder Yang's eyes suddenly lit up with hope, and he said dumbly, "Please! Please!!"
"It's no use begging me. Go with your master." Nan Ronghong crushed his Nascent Soul bit by bit, mocking him. "What did he say when I severely injured Nan Qingxiao? Oh, 'A man without ruthlessness is not a hero.' If a man doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. If he can't bear it, he can't blame others. Since he likes to endure it so much, then I will let him endure it enough! But why did he only stay in the cheapest Nanfeng Pavilion for ten days and then commit suicide after returning to the sect? How can he be worthy of his parents, how can he be worthy of his ancestors! This has wiped out a generation of Wangchen Sect, and the foundation of his ancestors has been burned to ashes. How can he be so fragile, how can he be so selfish?"
A living person's consciousness was instantly crushed and completely disappeared from this world.
The guests present felt the hairs on their backs stand up when they heard her cheerful tone.
She, she had her brother's martial arts crippled and then thrown into the Nanfeng Pavilion for ten days... Who could possibly accept such humiliation? But it seemed that Nan Qingxiao had ruined her future first, so she wanted Nan Qingxiao to die in humiliation. It was justifiable to repay him with an eye for an eye.
But this method is still too cruel. Even if it is reasonable, it seems unreasonable.
The other Wangchen Sect disciples were practically frozen in fear. Especially the male cultivator who had been quoting from classics at the funeral banquet. His left eye held a look of bewilderment, a look of "What the hell is going on?!" His right eye held a look of fear, a look of "What the hell am I supposed to do?!" It seemed Elder Yang hadn't lied. The pill incident was the work of him and Nan Qingxiao, and the old Sect Master and his wife had tacitly approved it. The others truly had no idea.
But not knowing is also a sin. He blissfully enjoyed the benefits of the Nan-Rong-Hong marriage, blissfully ignorant, without a trace of guilt, as if everything was natural.
Yun Xian and his group had been out of place since their arrival, and now they were even more so. Logically speaking, Nan Ronghong was settling old scores and going on a killing spree. They were neither from the Body Forging Sect nor the Forget Dust Sect, and had no real affiliation. The only one left, Ji Rongxue, was only good at setting off firecrackers.
Qiao Lingshan also thought, if she wanted to catch the demon, the demon would know who it was. After Ji Shang was possessed by the demon, he merged himself with the spirit, which was equivalent to suicide. He would either be insane for the rest of his life, or no life at all. But Ji Shang had been insane for so many years that it made no difference.
"Where is Ji Shang?" Yun Xian asked in the sound transmission array, "If he is here, then he must be using Qiu Mo's body."
Qi Zhiye said: "Wait a little longer."
Feng Ye: "What are you waiting for?"
"Nan Ronghong will drag him out and give him a grand funeral." Qi Zhiye's mouth twitched. "A quick glimpse inside the hall showed that the corpse... the remains were almost in disarray. With such a good opportunity, how could she not let everyone see it?"
Yun Xian remembered that he could now communicate with his spiritual consciousness to some extent, and silently asked: "Fellow Daoist Qi, can you check on Sect Leader Qiu to see if he is okay?"
Qi Zhiye: "Not very good. I want to die even after I die."
Yun Xian: “…”
He killed someone and destroyed his heart, and even after his death, he had to watch people dancing on his grave.
"But." Xue Lingxiu frowned and said, "No matter how powerful Nan Ronghong is, how can she resist this group of guests? We have no position, but these guests all have. The cultivation level of the Out-of-Body Stage plus Ji Shang's strength is high, but it is not enough."
This group of guests were either invited by the elders, or by Qiu Mo and Qiu Dan. Ants swarming around can kill an elephant. They can't stand seeing the Body Refining Sect prosper, but their unwillingness to see success stems from their desire to profit from it! The Sect Leader is dead, but judging by Nan Ronghong's demeanor, it seems everyone is determined to take advantage. The Body Refining Sect is severely weakened, so where will they go to get it? If nothing else, the Sword Sect will definitely be the first to come! Now that the Body Refining Sect is left in its current state, at least they can still get a share of the broth and bones. It's truly half-dead, with not even a scrap of meat to lick!
After all, Nan Ronghong is only one person.
"It's impossible to do it alone." Ji Rongxue said, "She must have a way out."
But what is her way out?
"...Speaking of this, I think of the independent cultivator who severely injured Qiu Mo two years ago." Xue Lingxiu pondered, "I noticed this earlier in the main hall. Qiu Mo's wound, which couldn't heal, must have been left by at least four different people... Not only were their weapons different, but their cultivation techniques were completely different as well."
It's no wonder Qiu Mo was reluctant to discuss the specifics of his situation after returning to recover. It was practically like being put in a sack and beaten by four men, with no idea who was actually on the other side. Even if one cannot lose, even if one loses, there's still honor in defeat. Qiu Mo's claims of "a casual cultivator" and "I killed him" seem questionable.
Nan Ronghong really knew him very well. He was so proud that he refused to tell the truth even after his death. Even cremation couldn't burn his mouth.
"If you add Nan Ronghong's poisoning, there are five of them now." Yun Xian said, "Think of this as the starting point for revenge. This battle is the most important. We need to seriously injure Qiu Mo so that everything else can develop smoothly. Brother Xue, are there any traces?"
"Four. Bow and arrow, halberd, broadsword, and sword." Xue Lingxiu said, "The most serious are the knife and sword marks."
Knife marks, sword marks...
Everyone lowered their eyes and thought, only Yun Xian seemed to have thought of something, frowned suddenly, and looked up at Jiang Fengtian on the other side!
The bearded man was holding a wine gourd in his left hand and the unlucky Jiang Lancui in his right hand with a nonchalant look on his face. He had a big knife on his waist and still looked like he was just passing by. When he noticed someone's prying eyes, he immediately looked at Yun Xian coldly.
Yun Xian immediately lowered his head, feeling a little numb on his scalp.
Is this really the case?!
Amidst the unfriendly gazes of the guests, the Great Elder finally stepped forward and said, "Madam Nan, everyone is responsible for their own actions. Nan Qingxiao of the Wangchen Sect treated you with such inhumanity and cruelty. You should retaliate in any way you can! But, what guilt has my Body Strengthening Sect committed? Even if it's towards the Sect Master... whatever hatred you have, now that he's dead and the grudge is settled, why are you still refusing to give up?!"
Nan Ronghong casually dropped Elder Yang's lifeless body, clapped his hands, and said, "Oh. So, you think you're innocent?"
"...I'm not innocent, but that was a matter of weighing the pros and cons." The Great Elder's face twisted for a moment, sweat breaking out on his forehead. He said, "The matter of the elixir wasn't told to us until after Qiu Zhuo's arrival... Elder Yang. By then, it was already a done deal. What could we do?"
The other elders looked at each other and nodded grimly.
They all knew it, but they pretended not to know.
Nan Ronghong asked, "So, you're saying that if you had known about this beforehand, you wouldn't have done this? You would have told me about it, broken off the engagement, and let me go?"
The Great Elder said, "Of course!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whites of his eyes bulged out instantly, as if some strange plant had blocked his throat, and he couldn't breathe all of a sudden, and let out a dying cry!
Everyone was secretly on guard against Nan Ronghong's sudden attack, but they had never expected such a scene to occur. They immediately shouted in shock: "Grand Elder?!" "What's wrong with you?!"
Xue Lingxiu's premonition came true.
Nan Ronghong had no idea how many lives were in his hands, and was just waiting to strike at this moment.
"If you're so frank, why are you so wary of me?" Nan Ronghong watched him fall to the ground and said indifferently, "You can be on guard for a while, but can you be on guard for a lifetime? If you don't tell the truth, then the Second Elder will speak."
The Second Elder's name was called, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead: "What..."
Nan Ronghong asked with great interest, "If you had known this earlier, would you have let me go?"
The Second Elder's expression flickered, and under the puzzled gazes of the guests, he said, "Naturally..."
The next moment, her eyeballs were pushed out of their sockets by the inky roots, and she screamed heartbreakingly: "Ahhhh!!!"
Nan Ronghong: "Third Elder, it's your turn."
The third elder breathed rapidly and mumbled something.
"Louder." Nan Ronghong said, "You dare to do it, but you don't dare to say it?"
"No." The Third Elder said bitterly under the angry glares of the other elders, "...The Sect Master places great importance on the aptitude of his descendants. Back then, you were the only one with the strongest talent among your generation. He looked down upon other women, and even if he did, they would never be willing to stop their cultivation at such an age to have children... From the beginning, you were the only choice."
The Seventh Elder said, "What the hell are you talking about?! Who told you that the Sect Leader thought this way?! What woman can't the Sect Leader find?!"
The Third Elder felt uncomfortable from being stabbed by the gaze. He had already lost face, but he was not afraid of losing it again. He said angrily, "What the hell do you know? The Snow Lion's skills are extremely fiery. After forty, it will infect the spirit bones and make it difficult for them to have children! Her skills are extremely cold. Isn't she the only one in the entire Northern Realm who is compatible with the Sect Master and is a good match for him?! What kind of woman can't he find? Didn't he look for her then?! Did he find her after searching for so many years?! Can he find her without lying or concealing anything?! Huh?! ! Besides Ji Shang, who with a brain is willing to do this in his next life?! Use your brain and think about whether you are willing to do this! Do you think it's a good job?!"
But Ji Shang and Qiu Mo also looked down on him. Ji Rongxue's skills were nothing but a mixed bag, how could he be worthy of his requirements?
When everyone listened further, all the secrets were revealed.
Finally, the fig leaf was torn off.
"Well, not bad." Nan Ronghong said, "Fourth Elder, tell me, why is he so confident?"
The fourth elder said nothing, gritting his teeth.
Nan Ronghong sarcastically said, "Since my cultivation has stagnated, this is how my life will end. I have no future to speak of, and I'm going to spend the rest of my life in the Body Refining Sect. Why should I care about my cultivation? Having one child is the same as having two. Three is even better, and having four will bring us all together. It would be a truly happy family!"
"Madam Nan!" the Seventh Elder cried angrily, "I don't know why you harbor such deep hatred for the Sect Leader! Why do you want to misinterpret his actions to this extent?! We've all witnessed how he's treated you over the past few decades! When you were sick or had a cold, you called a doctor. He risked his life to find you anything you wanted! You said you were going on a trip, didn't he accompany you?! He's always thinking of you, and he's never even looked at any other woman besides you. Ji Shang was drugged, and she's been the only one for all these years! Yes, I know. The incident with the medicinal pill was a huge blow to you, but what else do you want from the Sect Leader?!"
"Whether you believe it or not, he really has feelings for you!"
The nine-day black thunder rumbled, and it seemed that Qiu Mo was also accusing himself.
He definitely doesn't have such sinister intentions.
He asked himself, never!
He was puzzled and filled with grief and indignation. He hadn't known about the pill before; he only knew it was a fertility pill. How could he have known it would be so serious? If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have spoken to his wife in that tone, hurting Nan Ronghong's feelings. It was an unintentional act on his part.
The matter was settled, and all he could do was make amends. He believed he had lived up to his husband's ideals. They had been treating each other with respect for decades, and had he ever let anyone hurt Nan Ronghong even a finger?!
Many female nuns have experienced childbirth. If she felt so unbalanced and in so much pain, why didn't she just speak up? Why resort to such extreme measures?
Nan Ronghong smiled and shook her head amidst the thunder, but said, "Sometimes I really feel that talking to you is really tiring."
The Seventh Elder was about to speak, but suddenly his expression froze, his eyes turned white, and he followed the First Elder's example.
Of the ten elders of the Body Tempering Sect, three were gone in a flash!
Ji Rongxue couldn't help but frown and said, "Enough!"
If they continue to kill like this, after all ten elders and thirty-two stewards are killed, the position of the leader will be vacant, and the Body Tempering Sect will be no different from being wiped out!
"Rongxue." She spoke quietly, but Nan Ronghong glanced at her and said, "I know my limits."
There was a hint of warmth in his tone, and Ji Rongxue was stunned.
Nan Ronghong waved her hands and walked downstairs. The crowd all retreated, but Jiang Fengtian remained standing, staring at her with a complicated look.
"You're asking me now, why didn't you tell me earlier? I've told you several times, but every time you tell me it's normal. It's natural, and you should endure it—there's no such thing as that! What kind of pain is a person supposed to endure?! And yet you say it so easily."
"It's not that you didn't know, it's that you just didn't care. You never took my pain seriously." Nan Ronghong said gently, "It's okay. If words don't make sense, try another way. Look, now you know I'm in pain, don't you? Can you feel it? You blame me for not telling you sooner, why don't you blame yourself for not taking it seriously? You deserve it."
Some guests huddled in the crowd and said silently, "Madam Nan, we all understand. It's just that we should stop at this point. Why do we have to do this..."
It's so cruel that people can't even feel pity.
Nan Ronghong was surprised and said, "What? I'm taking revenge on my enemies, and I have to stop at a certain point? Am I better off hanging a banner and crying in front of the Bodybuilding Hall? What's the use of your pity? Can it be eaten? I'm ruthless, but I achieved my goal. They're dead, and I'm relieved! What can you do to me?"
The man was speechless.
No one came forward, and even if he wanted to fight, he couldn't. It was true, there was nothing he could do to her.
Truly, she's vindictive and extremely vicious. Not a single word was wrong. She's been lying low for so many years, and now she strikes with such force. I've never seen a woman like this before... I can't afford to offend her!
Nan Ronghong walked all the way to the end and calmly dragged out Qiu Mo's body.
The fourth elder glared angrily and shouted hoarsely, "Nan Ronghong!!! You!!!"
It’s really… too much!!!
But his life was in her hands and he was powerless to resist.
Yun Xian was already a little dumbfounded: "...Fellow Daoist Qi, you are so predictable."
Xue Lingxiu: "Did you see the knife marks? And the sword marks, the ones I just mentioned."
“…” Qiao Lingshan muttered, “It’s a sword mark, yes, but why does this sword mark look familiar?”
Yun Xian was sweating profusely and said, "If a child doesn't understand, just say less."
Qiao Lingshan: "Who are you calling a kid?!"
"I, I'm just a child." Yun Xian immediately slid to his knees and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore! What is Ji Shang doing hiding in Qiu Mo's body?! He's not moving or talking, and he's being dragged around like this. Is he sleeping?"
I've met many extraordinary people, but I've never met anyone like Ji Shang. He has no logic at all and is quite free. Yun Xian asked, "Miss, what is Aunt Ji doing?"
Ji Rongxue said speechlessly: "...I don't know either. Just let her be. Don't worry about her."
Xue Lingxiu asked, "How long has she been in this state?"
"She's been like this since I gave birth." Ji Rongxue pursed her lips and said, "During the time we were down there, she often went crazy and hurt people. Everyone knew she was crazy, so few dared to mess with her. I told the steward a long time ago that she was dangerous...it's just that no one cared."
Xue Lingxiu sighed.
"In that situation, going crazy is better than staying calm." He said tactfully, "She brought you and your daughter with her... There are many people with bad intentions."
Ji Rongxue said coldly: "I know."
She must have been helping Ji Shang clean up all the messes since she was little. Even when Ji Shang went crazy, he wouldn't abandon her. She knew that even when Ji Shang went crazy, he wouldn't leave him. The relationship between the mother and daughter was so abnormal that it was hard to describe.
Yun Xian glanced at the person next to him. Su Chi had been on his phone for a while, but now it was off again. He closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
The Demon Realm has been broken, and everyone is together, so there is no need for physical contact. However, the two of them kept their hands clasped together. Yun Xian pulled it away, but couldn't, so he let it go.
Anyway, the cooling effect is quite comfortable to the touch.
Nan Ronghong dragged Qiu Mo, who was carrying Ji Shang, inside. The scene was really absurd. In the freezing snow, there was a suffocating silence.
No one knows what she will do next.
The inner disciples of the Body-Building Sect watched helplessly as three of their elders died. They were all dumbfounded. The big guys all stood there stupidly, not knowing who to help.
Help the elders? But Madam Nan... has helped them so much. She works so hard every day, and I've benefited so much. Now that I know all this shit, how can I live with my conscience? Help Madam Nan? Mainly, Madam Nan doesn't seem to need any help at all!
What's more, Tiedan, the leader, didn't move at all. If he didn't move, how could the others move?
Qiu Zhuo and Qiu Dan finally came to their senses. Qiu Dan said with a pale face, "Mom, please stop..."
"I'm not your mother," Nan Ronghong said indifferently, "If I gave birth to someone like you, I'd be pissed to death."
Qiu Dan was overwhelmed by panic: "Mom, don't say such angry words!!"
Nan Ronghong laughed: "Do I look like I'm being angry? Your father is the butcher Shanxia Wang."
Qiu Dan: “…………”
He almost stopped breathing. Just now, he had pointed at Ji Rongxue's nose and called her a bastard - then who was he? ! !
He was unhappy, but Qiu Zhuo couldn't hide his smile. Then he was the only orthodox one—
With a ripping sound, Nan Ronghong released the shimmering Sect Leader Seal from Qiu Mo's Dantian. The light from it was inward and radiant, like an overwhelming pressure. All the people present at the Body Strengthening Sect hurriedly lowered their heads.
"Bloodline, inheritance, mission... it really gives you plenty of excuses to hurt others." Nan Ronghong lowered her eyes and suddenly smiled, "When I was young, I had a dream. The art of fighting is truly exquisite. I could challenge a thousand enemies while drunk, and resist all attacks with my palms. Even if I died at the hands of my enemy, I would be convinced! I would have no regrets!"
"I haven't had a good fight in decades."
In full view of the crowd, Nan Ronghong tore off her elegant robe, instantly transforming it into a shabby martial arts uniform. Somehow, she gathered the Sect Leader's Seal into her palm, transcending the limitations of her bloodline and martial arts techniques to directly acknowledge her master!
Qiu Zhuo's smile froze in an instant, looking incredibly funny. Instead, everyone's expressions instantly became heated.
"Whoever wants the position of the head, come!"
Nan Ronghong laughed and said, "Whoever wins in the end will be the new leader! No matter who they are! No matter their sect! No matter their age! No matter their gender!"
Everyone in the Body Strengthening Sect froze in place, not daring to speak. The elders were furious, but with the bodies of the three men and their leader lying before them, what could they do?!
It's just a child! It's just a Taoist companion! Why can other female cultivators tolerate this? Why can't you do this?! Why should you trample the entire sect under your feet just because of your own suffering?! Don't you consider the consequences?!
But the same idea actually gradually emerged in their hearts.
...That's because the entire sect once trampled her underfoot and pretended not to hear the earth-shaking shouts.
Across the sky, Ji Rongxue felt Nan Ronghong's gaze, unwavering, slowly settling on his face.
"Come!"
“…”
In reality, Nan Ronghong might not have intended to kill Qiu Mo so soon. His death was truly an accident.
Qiu Mo really didn't think he had done anything wrong to Nan Ronghong. He even felt that the two of them were the best couple in the world of cultivation, supporting each other and treating each other with respect.
But Nan Ronghong really hated him for doing this.
Once upon a time, she had tried to speak frankly. She had realized that she was walking on the edge of the abyss and was about to be swallowed up, but every time, she got the same result.
He would answer her questions in a different way, or he would just not care. Sometimes he would ask her, "This is the Bodybuilding Sect. No matter where you go, you won't have such a life."
In his eyes, it was truly a great blessing for a female cultivator to have such a life. He thought so, like it was the truth of the world.
He may not have had malicious intent, but he might as well have.
Nan Ronghong didn't mention the medicinal pills. Before she could deal with the Body Building Sect, she had to deal with her beloved brother first. However, her murderous intent didn't subside during this long preparation period. Instead, it grew stronger and stronger.
Sometimes, even when she looked at Qiu Mo's gentle face, she wanted to kill him.
Why do you live in this world? Why do you still have the nerve to live in this world?
But soon, Nan Ronghong entered a longer period of reflection.
Is she really the only one like this? Because of her own pain, she wanted to be treated equally in return. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. Qiu Mo's crime was not so bad, and the Tenth Elder's crime was not so bad. She just wanted to kill Nan Qingxiao.
But reflecting on this was useless, and only seemed to make her more miserable. This place was home to Qiu Mo, but to her, it was a quagmire that swallowed up everything she had.
After recovering, she once climbed Baizhan Mountain, a place she and her friend used to frequent. Baizhan Mountain was steep and surrounded by dangerous winds. Climbing from the bottom to the top in one breath required immense control over one's spiritual energy and physical skills. In the past, she could easily reach the summit without even touching the ground.
But she realized she was helpless. It wasn't because she wasn't trying hard enough, it was because she truly had no other options. She could only watch the mountaintop, once within her reach, stand still in the distance.
She never cried when she was in excruciating pain during childbirth, nor did she cry when she was beaten to the point of being on her last breath by her opponent. That day, she kept climbing up the mountain, falling down, climbing up the mountain again, and falling down again, for a whole day and night, without stopping, leaving countless scars on her body.
Back at the Body Refining Sect, Qiu Mo was in the west building again. He seemed to have just completed something important, and his expression was cheerful. Seeing her like this, he frowned slightly. "I heard from the elders that you went to Baizhan Mountain? What were you doing there?"
He listened to Nan Ronghong's words and tried to comfort her. But before leaving that night, Nan Ronghong looked at him and suddenly said bluntly, "I want to kill you."
"You want to kill me?" Qiu Mo treated her as a joke between husband and wife, and said, "You're overthinking it. You can't even climb Baizhan Mountain, and you still want to kill me?"
Nan Ronghong: "I'm serious."
"Okay, okay, you're serious. Don't treat yourself like this in the future." Qiu Mo gently held her arm and teased, "How can I be interested in it if the scars are so ugly, right, my lady?"
Go to hell.
Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell!!
Another long time passed. Nan Ronghong didn't actually feel it was long. She saw it as a task that needed to be completed sooner or later. Seeing the Body Building Sect gradually being infiltrated by her, and herself gradually becoming a stranger, she didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.
I've been wearing the mask for so long that I've almost forgotten what I look like.
Ji Shang came, but Nan Ronghong was not interested in Ji Shang. She was interested in the little girl that Ji Shang brought with him.
The Qiu Zhuo she gave birth to wasn't a child, but a hostage. He was the first stone that bound her, the one she couldn't leave. The one Ji Shang gave birth to wasn't a child either, but a sacrifice, a sacrifice to Qiu Mo. Sacrifice and hostage, and neither she nor Ji Shang was a true mother. Mothers weren't like that.
But Nan Ronghong just felt that Ji Rongxue was more like her.
She had been watching closely, watching the child and the puppy grow up together. The puppy grew up and died of old age, and the child also grew and developed.
Her plan was finally nearing completion, ready for action. In just five years, she could quietly and quietly torture Qiu Mo to death, then slay the ten elders one by one, extinguishing her parents' last remaining hope, and usher in the newcomer and Ji Rongxue to the throne. Finally, with her hands clean and a stellar reputation, she could travel cleanly to the Eastern Realm to find her friends and do whatever she desired.
But she was still wondering, did she really want to do this?
Until that day, Qiu Mo suddenly came to life. He was even in high spirits and summoned several elders. He even met Ji Shang for the first time - you know, although he still slept with her and worked with her, he still looked down on her deep down.
After two years of Nan Ronghong's "meticulous care," Qiu Mo was naturally very confident in her and didn't let her go. Ji Shang rushed over, very happy: "Husband!"
This time, Qiu Mo didn't ask her not to call him that. Instead, he coughed lightly and said to Ji Shang, "I've let you down over the years."
He slowed down his tone and said some commonplace things. They were nothing more than "I'm sorry," "I've made you and the child suffer," "I'll definitely make it up to you in the future," and things like "I can't let you go either," along with other words of concern for Ji Rongxue's well-being. He sounded like a father who had been invisible for years and had finally come to his senses, determined to mend his ways.
Nan Ronghong listened, thinking Ji Shang would be moved to tears, but after hearing this, the woman let out a sound that didn't sound happy at all: "Huh?"
Qiu Mo thought she was still angry, so he lowered his attitude and said a lot of things in a gentle tone.
When Ji Shang left, his face was extremely gloomy.
Nan Ronghong sat there and heard Qiu Mo call out, "Madam, please listen to my explanation."
No one wanted to hear your explanation. Nan Ronghong didn't even raise an eyebrow when she heard Qiu Mo say, "...Rongxue, it's time for her to get old. I think her temper is too wild and her heart is too cold. It's impossible to tame her. Why not find a good husband for her and send her away."
Nan Ronghong's blood ran cold, and she said quietly, "You mean, a marriage?"
"It's about time she became useful." Qiu Mo said matter-of-factly, "This matter was proposed by the Great Elder, and all ten elders agreed. They immediately sent me a list. Madam, why don't you help me take a look? Which sect do you think is more suitable?"
Nan Ronghong: “…”
Qiu Mo: "Madam?"
Nan Ronghong activated the spiritual plant in his body and said indifferently, "You are sleepy."
She sat in the room until evening.
Generation after generation, sect after sect. If this method is effective, other sects in the Northern Realm, and even the four realms, might follow suit. By sacrificing just one woman, both sects can rest easy.
Ji Rongxue will be the next one, and the next one, and the next one...
Well, maybe. So, she wanted to make this method not only ineffective, but also a death warrant hanging in the sky.
The moon was already setting when Nan Ronghong suddenly heard a rustling sound near the window. Turning back, she saw Ji Shang, carrying a large bag of bottles, cans, knives, and forks. He came over with a natural look and threw the dog shit in Qiu Mo's face. He said calmly, "Go to hell."
? !
Nan Ronghong hadn't been this confused in a long time: "...Huh?? You, what are you doing??"
What's going on?!
After Ji Shang finished throwing the shit away, he started to think about her knives and forks, stabbing randomly. Blood splattered all over him. Nan Ronghong immediately set up a formation to shield the surroundings and said, "No, what are you doing?!"
Ji Shang asked, "Are you blind? Can't you see that I want to kill him?"
"Of course I know you want to kill him." Nan Ronghong was at a loss for words. "Then why? You loved him so much just half a day ago."
"He said something I didn't like to hear." Ji Shang said confidently, "What do you mean, you missed me all these years? You don't want to die because of me and the child? Disgusting, I want to vomit!! So disgusting!! I don't like this Qiu Mo, he must have been possessed."
Nan Ronghong didn't know why she was talking to a madman: "Shouldn't you be happy to hear this?"
"No. What I love is his loyalty. He ignored me and has only had one wife for so many years. Doesn't this prove that he is a deeply affectionate man?" Ji Shang became increasingly angry as he spoke. "Then why would he miss me? How could he miss me?! You shameless scum, go to hell!!!"
Nan Ronghong: “………………”
Why does this logic seem to be full of holes, yet so solid that it cannot be refuted?
Nan Ronghong asked, "Just for this, you want to kill him?"
Ji Shang: "What else?"
Nan Ronghong: "Won't you reconsider it?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain?" Ji Shang rolled his eyes at her and said, "Has Qiu Mo killed fewer people? He doesn't seem to think twice before he kills! It's so common for him to step on people's heads. In the past, I was willing to let him do that. Now that he makes me uncomfortable, I have to kill him. Is that not okay?!"
Nan Ronghong burst into laughter.
Ji Shang was still saying that she had a brain problem, but suddenly his hand moved and pressed on a certain spot. Nan Ronghong's breath fell behind his ear and he said, "You have to poke it here. This is the weak point."
Ji Shang: "Psycho! Didn't you want to kill him half a day ago?"
Nan Ronghong: "You are the psychopath."
Ji Shang: "Then you are also crazy! Staring at my daughter every day, are you sick?"
"..." Nan Ronghong suddenly had an idea and said, "Then switch with me."
"No!" Ji Shang walked away. "Am I sick? Your son is so ugly, so annoying! I don't want him for anyone!"
In the cold moonlight, Nan Ronghong stretched out her hand and ended Qiu Mo's life. Then she smelled the
