Chapter 148 The pregnant woman sets fire to Buda Peak and purges the Buda Peak gang.
"Miss! Time to get up!" Bai Er lifted Su Yuyao's bed curtains. "Ah?! Miss! Where have you been again?!"
There were only warm blankets on Su Yuyao's bed, and Su Yuyao had disappeared again!
Bai Er angrily rolled up his sleeves, swung his arms, and rushed out, heading towards Rui Xue's cave entrance!
Sure enough, Ruixue was lying obediently on the ground, while Su Yuyao, with her bulging little belly, was clumsily climbing onto Ruixue.
"Ruixue! We need to hurry! That Bai'er guy is getting stronger and stronger!" Su Yuyao squeezed Ruixue's stomach. "I'm about to burst..."
"Miss!" Bai Er called out, hands on her hips and frowning, "Where are you going now?!"
Su Yuyao's back stiffened for a moment, then she slowly turned around and said with an awkward smile, "Bai...Bai Er, what a coincidence!"
"Miss! You're in a special time right now! What are you going out for?!"
"I just went out for a stroll!" Su Yuyao said innocently. "As the commander of the snow mountain, shouldn't I be patrolling more often? Bai Er, tell me! How many days has it been since I last patrolled? A month? Two months? This won't do! I can't hold the title of commander and do nothing!"
Bai Er stood with her hands on her hips, head held high, looking at Su Yuyao, "Don't those four people report to you every day? Do you still need to go out personally?! You're in a special period right now!"
"I know, but something special has come up! So I have to go!" Su Yuyao had no choice but to tell the truth, "I heard that those four gangs have been having some trouble lately, so I have to go check it out!"
"What does this have to do with you?!" Bai Er asked.
"That's true...it doesn't really matter..." Su Yuyao said with a smile, "However, this is also a good opportunity. Qinggan is far away, and he can't come over right away. This is a good time for me to try to win him over..."
"Why are you trying to win them over?!" Bai Er asked again.
"Of course it's to help... him..." Su Yuyao suddenly lost her confidence.
Su Yuyao, Su Yuyao! You're so spineless! Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about helping that bastard!
"Are you still going?!" Bai Er asked, looking at the guilty-looking Su Yuyao.
"Hehe, I'm not going..." Su Yuyao climbed off Ruixue and said hesitantly, "But Bai Er, even if we send someone to tell him now, he can't come right away. What if Qinggan beats him to it? We'll miss such a good opportunity!"
"So it seems... you still care about Lord Xuanfeng!" Bai Er said confidently.
"I didn't! I was thinking about the whole Immortal Mountain! I hate him to death!" Su Yuyao quickly retorted.
Seeing Su Yuyao's contradictory expression, Bai Er said helplessly, "Then I'll go with you!"
"Oh, ah?!" Su Yuyao looked at Bai Er, who had finally given in, and said with great joy, "You don't need to go! You're afraid of everything, and if something happens, we'll have to protect you! Just stay home and wait, we'll be back soon!"
"Miss! Is there any danger? What could happen?" Bai Er suddenly became nervous.
"No! I mean, just in case!"
"Ningbao! I heard you're taking Shadow and the other three to Undying Peak?!" Madam Sa rushed over, carrying Weiming with some concern. "Make sure you take plenty of people! Be sure to be careful!"
Su Yuyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom! I know what I'm doing!"
As Bai Er watched the wolf pack disappear into the distance, her heart was filled with anxiety. "Madam Sa! Miss just went out like that, is she really alright?"
"Bai Er, don't worry so much. Ning Bao is the leader here, so she should be in charge of these things!"
"I'm not worried about Miss! I'm worried that she might cause trouble again!" White Ear stood on the snowy slope, gazing anxiously in the direction the wolf clan had gone...
Su Yuyao led the wolf clan to a silent stand not far from the four small peaks.
“Ghost! Go investigate!” Su Yuyao said softly.
"Awooo!" the ghost responded softly, then plunged into the snow in the blink of an eye.
A short while later, the ghost returned.
“Commander Sa!” Ghost whispered, “Although there were no ambushes on the way in, I found some traces of traps. It looks… like someone used to lie in wait here!”
"Is the agency still there?" Su Yuyao asked.
"From what I've observed, the mechanism has already been dismantled!"
"How's their fight going?"
"It looks like a magical array, so I didn't dare get too close. But I saw a group of people struggling to crawl on the ground, so I guess it's probably an illusion!"
"Is there any sound?"
"I didn't hear anything."
Is there anyone there?
"There's nobody here!"
“No sound…and no one?” Su Yuyao pondered, then said, “I think…the mechanism wasn’t dismantled, but rather triggered! Those people crawling on the ground aren’t affected by illusions, but by poison!”
"Poisoning?!" Everyone tensed up.
“Illusions usually require someone to control them and will make a sound no matter what. Since you didn’t hear a sound or see anyone else, it means it’s not an illusion! Those people crawling on the road have been left unattended for so long, which makes one wonder if it’s because they don’t want to, can’t, or don’t need to be addressed, or… they’re being deliberately left here…”
Su Yuyao twirled her fingers, thought for a moment, and then gave the orders, "Shadow! Ghost! You two take your teams and find an opportunity to ambush in the grass ahead! Spread out in pairs! Don't make any rash moves, and follow my commands!"
"Yes!" the two replied, and quietly led their group away.
"Rat-bu! Sandstorm!"
"Present, Commander!"
"You two come with me. I'm not sure what will happen, so... you two need to be on your guard!"
"Rest assured, Commander!"
Su Yuyao supported her slightly protruding belly with one hand and grabbed Ruixue's back fur with the other, then straddled her.
"Walk!"
"Awooo—!"
Su Yuyao rode the greyish-white Ruixue, while Shubu rode the golden-glowing Sandstorm. The two of them, along with the two wolves, swaggered into the entrance of the Four Small Peaks.
"Ha—!" The person crawling on the ground suddenly rushed over, staring with white pupils, and bared a mouthful of fangs at Su Yuyao.
Ruixue was startled and was about to make an attack when she heard Su Yuyao shout, "Wait!"
Su Yuyao carefully observed the person crawling on their knees on the ground.
Although their faces were ugly, they were not malicious. They were just blocking Su Yuyao's way and had no intention of attacking her.
Su Yuyao jumped off Ruixue, gripped the crescent blade, and slowly walked over.
Ruixue stayed close to Su Yuyao, while Shubu jumped off the sandstorm to protect Su Yuyao from behind, while the sandstorm protected Su Yuyao from the other side.
Su Yuyao roughly counted the people crawling on the ground; there were about a dozen. Most of them were dressed in coarse cloth, with rough, dark skin, and looked like they were people who did manual labor!
However, there was one exception: an old man with his hair tied up in a high bun. Although his clothes were simple, his collar was neat. There were four or five other people with similar auras to him, all dressed simply but cleanly.
Some of their knees were worn down to the bone, but they still crawled on, baring their teeth.
Su Yuyao slightly turned her eyes and glanced at Bu Dafeng. That old guy Ying Chong hadn't shown up? It seems these people were a deliberate show of force he sent to intimidate me!
"Everyone be careful!" Su Yuyao whispered. "Don't kill anyone unless absolutely necessary!"
The snow, the rats, and the sandstorm, though silent, all kept a close eye on their surroundings.
Su Yuyao slightly spread her arms to block Ruixue and Shabao beside her, and walked forward on her own.
"Who are you people?" Su Yuyao asked softly. "Why did things turn out like this?"
The crawling person paused noticeably.
They're conscious! These people are actually still conscious!
Su Yuyao, supporting her belly, slowly squatted down and said softly, "I don't know how you all became like this, but I know that becoming like this was not your intention!"
"Ha—!" The crawling people slowly gathered in front of Su Yuyao.
Su Yuyao could clearly smell the stench emanating from their mouths full of fangs.
She glanced at the people's appearances but didn't notice anything unusual. There were no talismans or symbols drawn on them, so why were they like this?!
She slowly leaned forward. "If you need my help, I will help you!"
"Ha—!" A person suddenly rushed up, baring his teeth.
Ruixue immediately rushed forward to block Su Yuyao, while Shabao leaped up without hesitation and slapped the person who rushed up to the side.
The people crawling on their knees immediately became agitated, glaring at each other with their white eyes and mouths agape as they lunged to bite.
Su Yuyao quickly stood up and retreated. Shu Bu hurriedly drew a bamboo sword from his waist and blocked Su Yuyao's path.
The scene began to descend into chaos, with everyone except for a few who stood out from the crowd starting to attack Su Yuyao.
Ruixue and Shabao obeyed Su Yuyao's orders, only repelling the people who rushed at them. But more and more people were attacking, and the two were already struggling to hold them off.
This won't do!
Su Yuyao began to activate her Qi field, but she clearly felt that most of her Qi was trapped in her dantian, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not get it out!
She could only rely on the Qi circulating in her meridians to suddenly release her Qi field in an attempt to repel the attackers!
Unexpectedly, although the Qi field was shaken out, it was not thick enough and the force was far less than expected, only creating a gust of Qi wind.
This gust of Qi did not repel anyone; instead, it thoroughly enraged these people who were not thinking clearly!
That bastard! He actually locked down my Qi field! This is such a hindrance!
Su Yuyao drew her crescent blade and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Ruixue and Shabao hesitated for a moment, then darted to the sides.
Su Yuyao channeled her inner energy, drew her sword, and charged forward, repelling those who rushed at her while shouting, "I'm here to help you! It was a misunderstanding!"
However, the attackers seemed unable to understand Su Yuyao's words and only focused on opening their mouths and lunging at her.
"Watch out!" Rat Bu raised his bamboo sword to block the people rushing up from behind Su Yuyao.
Shadow and Ghost, along with the other members of their tribe, watched anxiously from the bushes.
When are we finally going to charge in?!
Should we keep waiting?!
The commander hasn't spoken! We can only wait!
But can the commander-in-chief withstand this?
Just as Shadow and Ghost hesitated whether to charge, Su Yuyao shouted, "Yingchong! You coward! You've harmed these people like this! And you're hiding away?! You don't deserve to be a Monument King! I'll go back and report to Lord Xuanfeng! He'll shut down your hall! He'll give you a pool and make you a green-headed turtle for a thousand years!"
Hiding in the shadows, Ying Chong watched Su Yuyao gradually become flustered. Hearing Su Yuyao's challenging words, he was not angry. Instead, he dusted off his robe and sat down steadily.
"You pathetic bunch! Haven't you realized yet?! That shameless old bastard Ying Chong doesn't care whether you live or die! You don't actually think we can't kill you, do you?! Watch closely! My sword isn't drawn yet!"
Su Yuyao repelled the attackers, then abruptly raised her crescent-shaped blade, saying, "Once my blade is drawn, it will surely draw blood! I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately! You all have some sense of self-awareness! Think about it carefully..."
Crackling sounds...
A strange sound rang out, and the person who was trying to think suddenly lost their mind and opened their mouth wide to pounce!
Want to go big?! Let's go!
Su Yuyao gritted her teeth and shouted, "I'll kill them! No one else is allowed to lay a hand on me!"
As he spoke, he swung his right hand forcefully, drawing his scimitar and sending a gust of cold wind through the air.
Holding her crescent blade, Su Yuyao charged towards the fangs and mercilessly slaughtered the creature!
Blood splattered everywhere, and screams echoed!
Everyone was stunned!
Although wolves are skilled hunters, they have never seen a pregnant woman who is so good at hunting.
Ying Chong stared in shock, his eyes widening, and his hand holding the skull trembled involuntarily.
He watched as Su Yuyao slashed down most of the people one by one, leaving only a few tough guys from the Buqiongfeng Hall!
He angrily picked up the skull and started tapping it with his fingers.
Crackling sounds...
The group from Buqiongfeng remained lingering to the side, making no attempt to attack Su Yuyao.
Su Yuyao glanced at the few people lingering in the distance; they should be safe!
Crackling crackling!
The eerie sound grew increasingly urgent!
She looked in the direction of the sound and indeed it came from Buda Peak!
Yingchong! You've really messed with the wrong person!
When Ruixue, Shabao, and Shubu saw that Su Yuyao had stopped, they quickly surrounded her.
"Rat divination!" Su Yuyao looked at Bu Dafeng and asked softly, "I've killed so many people. If Ying Chong uses this to make things difficult for me, how can I save myself?!"
Shu Bu rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "Commander, why are you making things difficult for us by having Ying Chong make things difficult for us?"
"Ha!" Su Yuyao laughed, "Rat! You've really hit the nail on the head! If he wants to play with me, then I'll... expose this old scoundrel's secrets!"
Su Yuyao channeled her Qi, gradually gathering it into a ball in her hand. Although it couldn't repel the attackers, it was more than enough to start a fire or blow up a mountain!
"I am Sa Ningbao, the leader of the Snow Mountain Wolf Clan!" Su Yuyao roared in a thunderous voice, "Today, during my patrol, I discovered that someone on Mount Buda was infected with a strange disease. The infected person has a blue face and fangs and is bloodthirsty! Since there is no cure, in order to prevent the disease from spreading, I, as the leader, have no choice but to painfully burn Mount Buda to ashes!"
"What the hell?!" This time it was Ying Chong's turn to panic.
He frantically hid the skull as he ran down the mountain, yelling, "Su Yuyao! What are you doing?!"
Upon seeing Ying Chong's figure, Su Yuyao sneered and shouted, "Wolf Clan, heed my command!"
"Awoo!"
"Awoo!"
The shadow and the ghost finally received their orders!
"Two people per group! Surround Buda Peak. If you see anyone trying to escape, regardless of gender, wipe them out!"
"Aww—! Woo—!"
The wolves suddenly burst out of the bushes, startling Ying Chong. Such a large-scale attack on his first visit?!
Su Yuyao ignited a flame in the Qi ball and slammed it with all her might onto the slope of Buda Peak.
Bang!
The Qi burst open, like a fireball exploding, with countless flames scattered across the slopes of Buda Peak.
Yingchong stared blankly at the hillside that was gradually burning. How... how did the mountain start burning?
"Lord Yingchong! What should we do?" Fuyou ran down and asked anxiously.
"Fire...fire!" Ying Chong finally caught his breath and roared, "Su Yuyao! I'm not finished with you!"
He pulled out the skull again and flung several long nails from his sleeve at the people wandering on the road.
"Catch it!" Su Yuyao shouted as she looked at the long nail in the air.
The snow and sandstorm chased after it, and with a leap, it caught several nails firmly in its mouth.
Yingchong hurriedly lifted the skull and tapped it rhythmically with her fingernails.
All they heard was a crackling sound, and Ruixue and Shabao's legs went weak, and they collapsed with a thud.
Shubu quickly darted over and used his bamboo sword to pry out the long nails from Ruixue and Shabao's mouths.
Upon seeing this, Su Yuyao's anger flared up. She took a step forward, turned around, and unleashed a gust of Qi.
call!
Now, the scattered flames on the hillside quickly merged into a large area, and the hillside crackled and popped as it burned.
The gate of the mansion opened, and several women with their arms bound were pushed out.
"Su Yuyao! Look carefully!" Ying Chong shouted, his eyes wide. "These are all innocent people! If you don't stop, you're killing innocent people indiscriminately!"
Looking at the woman with tears streaming down her face and her tattered clothes, Su Yuyao immediately understood everything!
"Yingchong! You're a complete bastard!" Su Yuyao gritted her teeth and pulled the slingshot off her wrist. "Rat!"
"Understood!" Shubu quickly placed the long nail he had just picked out, cushioning it with his robe, and handed it to Su Yuyao. "Please be careful!"
Su Yuyao held a bow in her left hand and quickly pressed a long nail into her leather pouch with her right hand. She aimed the nail tip at Ying Chong's hand that was rapidly striking her skull, tightened the rubber band, and then released it forcefully. Immediately afterward, she released a second nail!
Ying Chong quickly dodged the first nail, but the second nail was already in front of him.
puff!
The nail pierced Yingchong's eye socket.
"Ah!" Ying Chong suddenly knelt down, gritting his teeth and cursing, "Su Yuyao! You are so despicable!"
"I'm despicable?!" Su Yuyao looked through the thick smoke at the distraught women standing at the gate of the mansion. "I'm asking you! How did you treat these women?!"
Su Yuyao roared, "Are you going to use the lives of these men outside as a bargaining chip to make them submit?!"
Ying Chong knelt on the ground, smiling eerily.
Su Yuyao glared angrily, her eyes red. "These men outside thought they could exchange their lives for a woman's innocence, and what was the result?!"
Su Yuyao raised her slingshot again, aiming at Ying Chong. "Ying Chong, if you hadn't met me, you would probably still be living a carefree life for a while! But, unfortunately, you've met me—Su! Yu! Yao!"
A gust of qi swept across Ying Chong's neck, splattering a ring of blood. Ying Chong's head suddenly fell off and rolled into the raging flames.
The mayfly looked at Ying Chong's miserable state, then at the flames covering the mountain and its comrades who had fled to the foot of the mountain but were bitten to death.
What other way out is there?
He then looked at the women who had been violated, abused, and humiliated these past few days, "Su Yuyao! Let me go! Then I'll let them go!"
Su Yuyao looked at the furious and desperate mayfly, and slowly raised her slingshot. "Mayfly, your mistake was—using them to threaten me!"
Another gust of Qi swept by.
“Commander Sa!” a woman cried out in anguish, “Kill them! Kill them all!”
After saying that, she rushed into the raging wildfire without hesitation.
One, two, three...
Su Yuyao watched helplessly as nine women of similar age to herself jumped into the fire and ended their lives in grief and anger.
She couldn't imagine how these women had endured these inhumane days, nor could she imagine the anger and despair they felt when they saw that their submission had resulted in corpses.
Su Yuyao suddenly felt that she was a coward, that she did not have the courage to choose death to confront Xuanfeng's hatred.
She never even considered ending her life to solve anything; she had always been trying her best, even living humbly, to survive!
As for why she was still alive, before it was for revenge, but now… she stroked her lower abdomen…
