The woman's piercing scream echoed through the space, especially at this crucial moment, making everyone's heart tighten. Although her voice was distorted, Ye Fan still recognized a familiar quality in it, and couldn't help but be momentarily stunned before looking towards the source of the sound.
Amidst the swirling dust, the woman in white formed her hands into claws, her ten fingers slender and delicate, as white and long as scallion roots. These were hands that belonged to someone pampered and privileged, yet they were tightly binding another person's neck, the pale fingertips showing just how much force she was using.
"Ye Fan, don't make any rash moves, or your woman will perish." Bai Xuejiao's eyes were like torches, her face fierce. She was no ordinary woman; having controlled the Le family for many years, she wouldn't cry and whine when faced with a problem.
Compared to Bai Xuejiao's clean and tidy appearance, Lü Ming, who was a hostage, was much more miserable. Her skirt suit was covered in dust, and tattered strips of cloth were showing through the hem of the skirt. Her fair face was full of bitterness and vicissitudes as if it had been battered by wind and rain.
"Brother Fan, save me—" Green Tea, who was never one to be invincible, was completely disarmed, tears streaming down her face, losing all her beauty.
She had always been a coward, valuing her life more than anyone else. The pressure on her neck grew heavier and heavier, and the breaths in her chest became fewer and fewer under the pressure. She desperately opened her mouth wide to try to draw life out, but to no avail.
"—" Ye Fan was speechless, his expression full of resentment. It was a strange thing that someone who had always been called shameless was being forced to this point by others.
Bai Xuejiao's actions inadvertently bought Wuyou some time. She covered her mouth and desperately tried to cover up her cough, then threw the pill into the air.
She had prepared this pill for a long time, and it was similar in purpose to the one she used when she and Ye Fan perished together. She used the pill's formation to unleash a bolt of lightning that would kill Ye Fan. The lightning was fierce and sudden, and Wuyou's deliberate actions led to this outcome.
Ye Fan is far less powerful now than he was back then, so Wuyou is quite confident about this.
A sudden, deafening clap of thunder and a burst of lightning in the air startled everyone present, causing them to shudder. No matter how powerful a person is, they can always feel their own insignificance when faced with natural disasters or man-made calamities.
A thunderclap in a clear sky is a rare and bizarre phenomenon. Ye Fan finally snapped out of his daze and looked at the pill that was shining with countless rays of light in mid-air, his face showing a shocked expression.
Pills that can attract Dan Lei are of the highest quality, with extremely strict requirements on quality, materials, and preparation. Such treasures are rare even in the cultivation world, let alone on this Blue Planet in the Dharma-ending Age. How could Ye Fan not be surprised and shocked?
"You..." Staring at Wuyou's exquisite face, Ye Fan was speechless for a moment. Was this woman really the arrogant and domineering young lady he knew? She was probably the one who was hiding the deepest secret.
Thinking back on all the suffering I've endured over the past two years, it seems inseparable from this young lady of the Yue family. Only today have I finally found the mastermind, but it seems it's too late.
Ye Fan gritted his teeth, almost venting all his resentment. He couldn't believe he would perish like this. As a Celestial Venerable, he had encountered countless tribulations. How could he capsize in such a small ditch? "Le Wuyou, you wait. As long as I escape, I will grind you to dust and make sure you die without a burial place."
After figuring all this out, Ye Fan immediately turned and left without hesitation. His figure was as fast as lightning, catching everyone off guard. The person who was supposed to come looking for trouble left in a sorry state, and Ye Fan felt ashamed.
The Le family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Green Tea, who had been held hostage, stared wide-eyed at Ye Fan's rapidly disappearing figure. She had given so much for Ye Fan, yet he had abandoned her. At this moment, Green Tea couldn't tell whether she felt more resentment at being abandoned by her lover or more dejection at being utterly defeated.
From the moment they met, fate bound them tightly together, inseparable. Only now did she finally have time to reflect on their relationship: not lovers, not sweethearts, and not allies.
"Worry-free, are we just going to let him get away like this?" Bai Xuejiao was somewhat unwilling. Ye Fan was like a centipede that never dies; he survived multiple attempts to kill him. If they let him go back to the mountains this time, things would probably not be so simple.
The thunderous lightning between the dark clouds grew increasingly intense, with large clumps of dark clouds gathering together, and the blinding flashes of lightning within them were terrifying.
"Don't worry." Wuyou uttered these two words softly, glancing at the pill that was growing brighter and brighter in mid-air. She then called out to the others, "The pill lightning is coming soon. You should leave this place as quickly as possible and avoid being affected."
These people belonged to the Le family, after all, and they couldn't just die like that. She had already moved most of the Le family members out earlier, so as for the old house being destroyed, so be it.
When she was dragged away, Green Tea's face was numb, her eyes were lifeless, and she seemed lost in thought. Her whole being exuded an aura of death, completely devoid of her former vitality.
She knew clearly that she had suffered a complete defeat and had no chance of turning things around. Le Wuyou was far more powerful and terrifying than she had imagined.
The sudden shattering of long-held beliefs is something no one could bear.
About five minutes later, the long-accumulated lightning finally crashed down from the sky, forming a dense net across the entire Le family mansion. The entire old Le family mansion was instantly reduced to dust. This ancient and mysterious family collapsed in this moment, but it also signified a new beginning.
Sitting in the distance, Bai Xuejiao looked at the place where she had stayed for decades, her eyes filled with joy, relief, and liberation.
"Huh?" Bai Xuejiao suddenly exclaimed in surprise, glancing at her daughter who remained motionless beside her. "Wuyou, can this Danlei still run away?"
This top-grade elixir was made by her own daughter; she knew absolutely nothing about it and had never even heard of it. Such a superior elixir was unprecedented and unparalleled, so she had no choice but to seek help from her beloved daughter.
Hearing Bai Xuejiao's words, Wuyou lazily lifted her eyelids and looked at the rapidly moving Danlei. She had done a lot of tricks, how could she let Ye Fan escape like this?
In her previous life, she drugged Ye Fan with a potent sleeping potion and left him in the bridal chamber, which led to Dan Lei killing them. This time, Ye Fan is alive and kicking, so of course, she needs to go through more procedures to ensure everything goes smoothly.
“That’s right, Danlei can run away, so we need to stay away.” Anyway, no one in this world will know, so it’s up to us to decide.
