The subordinate who was called out was shocked. He looked at his master and then at Yu Shuang, frozen in place, not knowing what to do.
One was their sworn lord, who held the power of life and death over them. The other was their leader, with whom they had fought side by side for many years, possessing absolute authority, who also held the power of life and death over them, and their benefactor…
In short, it was too difficult to choose, so I simply rolled my eyes and fainted.
Yu Shuang glanced disdainfully at one of the spineless individuals and moved on to the next one to interrogate.
Chen Beiyan gave a sharp shout.
"Enough! Do you even respect me?!"
Guards, seize her!
If they resist stubbornly, execute them on the spot!
He spoke his last sentence with force and conviction.
At his command, a group of guards rushed forward, each displaying their unique skills.
In a short while, Yu Shuang easily dealt with the situation, scattering various hidden weapons and capture devices all over the ground.
It wasn't over yet. Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, he slapped the only man still standing, who seemed like a god, across the face.
"Smack!!"
A crisp, resounding slap nearly brought the man down from his pedestal.
At the same time, all the halos it carried dimmed.
Chen Beiyan's noble head stood frozen to one side, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his pupils trembling, filled with disbelief.
It was as if this was something difficult for him to accept, something beyond his comprehension.
"How dare you hit me?..."
He knew this woman was in love with him, and she never dared to do anything out of line…
This woman was also poisoned by the Dark Pavilion's slow-acting poison, and her life was in his hands. She had always been completely obedient to him...
Both factors combined make it hard for him to accept that this woman would do something to hurt him…
This woman was willing to give her life for him before…
Can love really disappear...?
Without a second thought, Yu Shuang quoted a famous line from some other world.
"Go ahead and hit me, why are you picking and choosing a day?"
"Who do you think you are that I can't hit? Get out of my way!"
Yu Shuang kicked someone away.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
That's our lord...
Your lord is unparalleled in wisdom and strategy, and so powerful as to be omnipotent...
He was just hit like that, all round and smooth? He was kicked away?
Everyone felt that their illusions had shattered...
Yu Shuang then kicked one of her subordinates who was pretending to faint.
"Get up and get to work."
The guard continued to feign death, choosing not to get involved or take sides.
Just kidding, Yu Shuang from the team is doomed.
After all, their fate is in the hands of the Dark Pavilion, and they need to take antidotes regularly to prolong their lives.
Yu Shuang immediately announced that she had developed a cure that would completely eradicate the disease, thus freeing her from the control of the Dark Pavilion. Any Dark Pavilion member willing to defy her would receive the cure and regain their freedom.
From then on, the sea was wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky high enough for birds to fly.
Chen Beiyan immediately lost his composure.
"Impossible! She's lying to you. Only Mr. Lan and I have the antidote!!"
Yu Shuang casually picked up a shoe that someone had dropped on the ground and threw it at someone.
Just as someone dodged, it hit him squarely on the forehead.
The person was so dizzy from being hit that he trembled with anger.
I feel utterly humiliated!!
But something even more humiliating was about to happen…
A foot ruthlessly stomped on his brilliant mind.
"If I didn't have the antidote, would I dare treat you like this?"
Yu Shuang looked down at him from her high position, like a queen looking down at some insignificant ant.
How long had it been since Chen Beiyan had suffered such humiliation? For a moment, his mind went blank, and he found it hard to accept.
A fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Damn it! That woman deserves to die!!
He will kill her…
He will make her wish she were dead!!
Yu Shuang's words undoubtedly reassured everyone.
Furthermore, a certain figure whom they regarded as a god has fallen from grace due to Yu Shuang's actions.
This greatly reduces their deterrent effect.
Almost half of the Dark Pavilion members present expressed their intention to join Yu Shuang's side.
Yu Shuang was quite satisfied, and her first order was to deal with the remaining people who refused to surrender.
Then a bunch of the remaining people surrendered.
Those who stubbornly resisted were given a swift death. He who kills will be killed in return; his death was not unjust.
For a moment, the scene became her monologue…
Soon, the Duke of Zheng was subjected to torture and confessed to all the things he had done in the past.
Including Chen Beiyan's father—the previous Marquis of Ding'an.
Including the Yu family, who were all wiped out...
The old man admitted that he did it, but the real culprit was someone else—the old emperor ordered him to do it. The person they should really take revenge on was the old emperor.
Yu Shuang slapped him so hard he couldn't take care of himself, and in place of the spirit of the dead, she delivered the final judgment on him.
Once it's done, it's done, regardless of whether someone instructed you to do it.
If someone tells you to do something, you do it; if someone tells you to eat shit, why don't you eat it?
Does shirking responsibility absolve you of punishment?
Ultimately, they couldn't escape death...
Yu Shuang glanced at a certain dog-like man with bloodshot eyes.
"See that? That's what you call efficiency. The enemy is dead; we'll deal with the one behind the scenes later."
He then gave an order and began to arrange the subsequent matters.
To everyone's astonishment, she arranged for someone to receive the same service the original owner had received in her previous life.
He abolished his martial arts skills, severed his tendons, and arranged for his men to send him and the Duke of Zhenguo's corpse back to the ground.
They also blew up the entrance to the secret passage.
All members of the Dark Pavilion orderly evacuated outside the city through the secret passage.
...
At this time, the Marquis of Ding'an's mansion was surrounded by various government troops, and most of the people in the mansion were unaware of the underground secret chamber, resulting in complete chaos.
