At this time, Qiao Suinian was not in a very good condition either. It was not an easy task for him to deal with so many Abyss Spirits who had cultivated into spiritual bodies at the same time.
His body was battered and bruised, with an ice pick still stuck in it, clearly indicating severe injuries. If it weren't for the Extreme Yang Corpse Heart modifying his body, he would probably have already died from such injuries.
Even though he was seriously injured, he was still in much better condition than the Grand Elder, who had a dragon spirit demon blade stuck in his skull.
There are wolves in front and tigers behind.
The Grand Elder was caught in a dilemma.
Neither going forward to confront Qiao Suinian nor retreating to face Mu Qing and Qin Fufeng was a good option for him.
As Qiao Suinian and Mu Qing approached him one after the other, the First Elder's face was extremely gloomy. He slowly raised his head, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.
"We weren't planning on having him make a move so soon, since his innate spiritual body still had one last flaw that hadn't been fixed, but now... we have no choice!"
The elder's smile turned somewhat manic.
"Come out, Mu Xian!"
The Grand Elder's voice became as sharp as an ancient eunuch reading an imperial edict. The Mu Xiu he spoke of was the innate spirit body that the Abyss Spirit Clan had created back then.
Over the years, Mu Xian, now an adult, has become incredibly powerful, even surpassing the Grand Elder in strength.
The Grand Elder believed that if Mu Xian were to take action, dealing with these people would be as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs.
But after he shouted, he waited for a long time, but there was no movement around him. Only a gust of wind swept by and blew up a few fallen leaves.
"Um?"
The elder was stunned for a moment, his expression freezing on his face, as if he hadn't realized what had happened.
What are you muttering about?
Qiao Suinian leaped forward, grasped the Dragon Spirit Demon Blade that was embedded in the top of the elder's head, and with a flick of his wrist, the sharp blade almost cleaved the elder in two.
"ah!!!"
The elder let out a hysterical scream, and half of his body drooped down.
"No! Give me time, I can recover! Mu Xian, come and save me! Come and save me!" the Grand Elder roared. "I am the best person to you in the entire Abyss Spirit Clan. I watched you grow up. You can't abandon me!"
Looking at the elder who was shouting and yelling like a madman, Mu Qing felt a surge of pleasure.
She probably understood what had happened; it seemed the Grand Elder had been abandoned as a pawn.
"You old bastard, you've finally met your match! Have you ever regretted the despicable things you did back then? This is your retribution!"
"Bullshit! My biggest regret is that I was too lenient back then! If I had just slapped your father to death and arrested you from the beginning, none of this would have happened today!"
The elder roared.
"My biggest regret is not killing you, you bastard!"
Qiao Suinian shoved the Dragon Spirit Demon Blade into Mu Qing's hand.
"Kill him, and you'll get rid of this knot in your heart. I'll hold off the others for you."
A cold, eerie sensation traveled from the Dragon Spirit Demon Blade into Mu Qing's palm, instantly calming her down.
Holding the knife, she walked step by step toward the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder, whose manic expression suddenly calmed down a bit, shouted in a weak voice.
"Mu Qing! I am the Grand Elder of the Abyss Spirit Clan! Do you dare kill me? If you kill me, you will have betrayed the entire Abyss Spirit Clan, and you will be a sinner of the Abyss Spirit Clan! I warn you..."
Before the elder could finish speaking, Mu Qing swung his sword and beheaded him.
As a spirit herself, coupled with the terrifying destructive power of the Dragon Spirit Demon Blade, she could easily inflict fatal damage on the Grand Elder.
It must be said that the vitality of the Abyss Spirit Clan is indeed formidable; even with only a head remaining, the Great Elder's mouth was still opening and closing incessantly.
"You can't kill me! I am the Grand Elder of the Abyss Spirit Clan! Mu Xian, you can't abandon me, I am the Grand Elder! I am the Grand Elder of the Abyss Spirit Clan!"
Pfft.
The Dragon Spirit Demon Blade pierced directly into the Grand Elder's temple, ending his life.
Mu Qing's tears began to fall like amber. At the moment she actually killed the Grand Elder, she felt no joy at all, but rather an unparalleled sorrow.
"Dad...Mom...did you see that? Qing'er has avenged you!"
Mu Qing couldn't stop crying. What good would revenge do? Killing the Grand Elder wouldn't bring her parents back.
All along, she had lived by any means necessary in order to seek revenge, but when she finally succeeded in her revenge, a huge sense of emptiness suddenly enveloped her, as if life had lost its meaning.
This feeling is like finally winning over your dream girl after a lot of hard work, but when you're lying in bed smoking a cigarette afterward, you're also surrounded by a huge sense of emptiness.
"Miss Mu Qing... don't cry anymore. Old Deng is dead. If you're still not satisfied, I'll go and kill his whole family for you!" Qin Fufeng was gesturing wildly to the side, not knowing what to do for a moment. But seeing Mu Qing crying so heartbreakingly, he felt extremely distressed.
Mu Qing ignored him and continued to weep.
On the other side, seeing that the Grand Elder had died under Mu Qing's blade, the other three elders were also frightened.
After exchanging a glance, they both saw a hint of retreat in each other's eyes.
"Let's go! Let's get back to the clan and find Mu Xian to figure out what happened!"
Mu Xian did not appear, and with the strength of the three of them, they were no match for Qiao Suinian and his group.
Upon realizing this, the remaining Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder lost their will to fight and turned to flee.
"Hey! Why are you running away? Aren't you going to stay and have a meal before you leave?"
Qiao Suinian did not give chase. These three old men were cunning and experienced. After transforming into wind elements, they fled in three different directions. Even if he chased after them, he could only kill one of them.
However, while the three elders were able to escape, the remaining Abyss Spirits were not so easy to flee from, and Qiao Suinian almost slaughtered them all.
After dealing with the expendable pawns abandoned by the elders, Qiao Suinian returned to Mu Qing's side.
At this moment, Mu Qing was no longer the woman who could calmly control countless men with just a guzheng performance at the Martial Arts Grand Hotel; she was just a helpless little girl.
Qiao Suinian stretched out his blood-stained hand and offered it to her.
"Stop crying, get up and come with me. I am your only salvation."
