With a soft chuckle, Nan Lingqin looked at Li Qingru not far away.
“Li Qingru, you should know that it would be easy to destroy you.” After saying that, Nan Lingqin’s face suddenly turned cold. “I really can’t believe that you have become like this in just a few days.”
"Yeah."
Li Qingru shook her head. "Sister Lingqin, some people are willing to go crazy for love once they fall in love. Yes, you have helped me a lot, but I have also helped you, haven't I? At that time, Li Qingyu used me as bait to force you. You seemed to be thinking about the big picture, but in the end, I was hurt and suffered, wasn't I?"
Nan Lingqin's starry eyes were cold, and she remained silent.
"I always thought that someone like Bei Huang wouldn't attract women. You're incredibly lucky to have taken a liking to him. I never imagined he would be so popular."
Just then, Lan Xinyue walked over from the side, looking as if she had something to say. Nan Lingqin glanced at her and suddenly smiled, "Miss Lan really has good taste."
“Naturally, that’s why I’m interested in Xu Yiran.”
Nan Lingqin smiled without saying a word, then looked at Li Qingru. Seeing the large group of people behind her, she remained calm and asked, "How did you know I was here?"
"I have my own way."
Li Qingru took a step back and waved her hand behind her. Instantly, nearly a hundred people from the Yama Palace stepped forward and surrounded the three of them.
"If you want to arrest us, who are you reporting to?"
Nan Lingqin spoke calmly, yet with an air of authority.
Li Qingru's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not answer.
"That person can't be Xu Yiran, so who is it?"
Nan Lingqin asked again, her tone certain.
"Who it is is none of your business."
Li Qingru suddenly felt a little panicked, especially when she looked at Yuwen Yao's cold face. She felt an unbearable pressure pounding on her heart.
"boom--"
Then, a loud thud was heard from the ground. In an instant, the trees shook and the ground cracked open. The hundreds of people who were surrounding the Yama Palace changed their expressions drastically. Those who were slower to react were swallowed up by the cracked ground in an instant.
Li Qingru's expression changed drastically. If the people behind her hadn't pulled her back quickly, she probably would have been trapped long ago.
Looking across at the other side, the Northern Emperor had already led Nan Lingqin and Lan Xinyue to retreat quickly, away from the center of the disaster.
But clearly that wasn't enough. With a cold expression, Yuwen Yao struck the ground again with his palm.
"Seeking their own death."
As Yuwen Yao spoke coldly, his palm strike shifted again, heading straight for Li Qingru. "I know where An Shangning is?"
Seeing that Yuwen Yao's palm strike was about to be unleashed with the force of thunder, Li Qingru immediately cried out.
In the instant the wind and clouds rose and fell, all was quiet.
The remaining people were seriously injured by the residual force of Yuwen Yao's palm strike.
Where is An Shangning?
Nan Lingqin's voice was slightly cold.
“She and her sister are both in my hands.”
Nan Lingqin looked at Li Qingru. In the darkness, her eyes were cold and sharp, which made Li Qingru's heart clench with fear. But thinking of what she had to rely on, she immediately said, "Don't worry, they are still alive."
What do you want?
"Northern Emperor, Yuwen Yao."
Li Qingru didn't dare look at Yuwen Yao when she said those words, but her tense hands showed her firm decision.
Nan Lingqin glanced at Yuwen Yao, then at Li Qingru, as if mocking an ant, "Do you think that's possible?"
"Nan Lingqin, what do you think? Should I have killed An Shangning first, or her sister first...?"
Before Li Qingru could finish speaking, her lips froze, and her entire body stiffened as a cold hand firmly gripped her neck, as if a slight exertion would crush her instantly.
Where are they?
The voice was rough and somber; it belonged to Zhuidamu.
He appeared silently, and by the time the people from the Underworld reacted, they were already too intimidated by the violent aura emanating from Chuidamu to approach.
Nan Lingqin was not surprised at all. Instead, she looked at Lan Xinyue with the same expression as always, "See? I told you, he would be useful."
Lan Xinyue wholeheartedly agreed, "You're right."
That's right. When the three of them left the Lan residence together, Nan Lingqin secretly told Lan Xinyue to release Zhui Damu. Given Zhui Damu's personality, he would definitely follow them secretly.
"You, you, you..."
Li Qingru stammered, "You...you..."
Where are they?
Zhuidamu was furious, and with a flick of his finger...
"Don't act impulsively."
Nan Lingqin looked at Zhui Damu's suddenly reddened eyes and coldly reminded him, "If you kill her, you will never know the whereabouts of An Shangning and An Shangyu. Zhui Damu, if anything happens to them again, you will be guilty."
"I know."
Zhuidamu grabbed Li Qingru by the neck, then glanced around, "Take me there, or else..."
However, in that instant, nearly a hundred people collapsed to the ground at the same time, foaming at the mouth, and died in no time.
this……
Everyone looked grave.
"These people have already been poisoned and their lives are controlled by others."
Li Qingru said in a trembling voice, and then, taking advantage of Zhuidamu's momentary lapse in attention, she bent down and plunged headfirst into the grove of trees in front of her.
Extremely annoyed, Zhuidamu quickly caught up.
Nan Lingqin, Yuwen Yao, and Lan Zhuyue exchanged glances and hurriedly followed.
However, Li Qingru, who clearly knew no martial arts, disappeared in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"Such a good opportunity, and you let her get away."
Nan Lingqin glared at Zhuidamu and said sarcastically, "The barbarian lord is truly capable."
