As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at Xin Yao with disappointment and began to whisper among themselves. Some felt sorry for Qing Cang, while others cursed Xin Yao for being an ingrate. Xin Yao heard all of this and her expression turned flustered.
"No, no, how could I have killed my father?"
"You bitch, you're the one who ruined me! There's something wrong with those pills, everyone, don't let her fool you..."
Snap—
A crisp sound rang out, and a palm-sized red mark appeared on Xin Yao's face. "You!"
"This is what happens when you speak rudely to me."
Everyone looked at Ji Jiuying and silently lowered their heads. Upon first seeing Ji Jiuying, they recognized her as the person in the painting that had spread throughout the Heavenly Realm. She was the owner of the divine artifact and the master of the divine beast. As for the twin lotus flowers, they did not have the courage to covet them.
I heard she is the daughter of Feng Lan from the Feng family. The Feng family is searching for her everywhere, all for that absurd ancestral rule. But with the Venerable One around, they don't even care about the mere Sifang City.
General Jingyuan also came up and asked, "Although you are not General Qing's biological son, he treats you better than a biological son. You have had whatever you wanted since you were a child. How could you be so heartless to him?"
Upon hearing this, Xin Yao burst into laughter! She gave the crowd a sarcastic look.
"You can have anything you want?"
"When I was eight years old, I first met the Venerable One, and I knew that he was the man I, Xin Yao, wanted to marry. But my father not only did not support me, but also scolded me and belittled me. In the end, he advised me to stop coveting the Venerable One."
"Later on, he even refused to take me with him to the Nine Heavens Palace..."
"But I can't control myself, I think about you day and night... Your Majesty, I love you so much, everything I've done is for you... Why can't you see how good I am..."
"So you harbored murderous intent towards Qing Cang because of this?"
When I was ten years old, he found out about my feelings. In order to put an end to my thoughts, he actually betrothed me to a family in the capital.
Xin Yao smiled. Having grown accustomed to being a phoenix perched on a branch, how could she be content to be a mediocre sparrow? A hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes—a resistance to mediocrity and a firm belief in her own value.
But she never imagined that if it weren't for Qing Cang, she would have died long ago in that desolate mountain forest.
"Since he's unwilling to help me, I have no choice but to kill him."
"Using General Qingcang's death just to enter the Nine Heavens Palace, what an ingrate!"
"Your Majesty, we beg you to execute this wicked woman immediately!"
"No, we should go to Hundred Flowers Valley to kill him and use her blood to pay tribute to General Qingcang."
"·····"
Everyone was talking non-stop, all urging Gong Mingyue to kill Xin Yao.
Gong Mingyue waved his hand, and everyone shut their mouths.
"You released the Moon Candle, didn't you?"
"yes!"
"You were the one who spread the portrait of Jiu'er, weren't you?"
"yes!"
"·····"
As the crimes were laid bare, Xin Yao collapsed to the ground, her heart filled with despair.
"It's time to settle my score, Xin Yao. You tried to kill me time and time again, and even injured Qing Ling with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire..."
Ji Jiuying stepped forward with a cold smile on her lips, a ball of fire appearing in her hand. This ball of fire was different from the one she usually used; it was mixed with Netherworld Ghost Fire. Once touched, it would make one immortal, whether in body or soul.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Xin Yao naturally knew the power of the spiritual fire in Ji Jiuying's hands, and was so frightened that she lost her composure.
"Of course, we should give them a taste of their own medicine!"
boom--
The flames instantly engulfed Xin Yao's body, and almost immediately, screams echoed through the interrogation room.
Freed from the binding rope, Xin Yao's soul writhed on the ground in agony, but no one there felt sorry for her. Instead, they all thought that she had only herself to blame for everything that had happened.
Soon, Xin Yao on the ground became a bloody mess. Judging from the situation, she probably wouldn't survive the night.
Everyone shook their heads, and at the same time, they thought more highly of Ji Jiuying. The fire just now was clearly the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, but they didn't understand why there was a sinister aura in the Nine Heavens Profound Fire. Thinking of Xin Yao's fate, everyone thought to themselves: It seems that Ji Jiuying has a very high status in the Venerable's heart. We must not offend her.
After leaving the interrogation room, Ji Jiuying headed straight for Mount Jiuhua. After parting ways with Feng Lan, she left the Nine Heavens Divine Palace.
As expected, Xin Yao could not bear the torment of the ghostly flames that night and committed suicide.
But she was still naive; death was simple, just a matter of nodding her head and falling to the ground.
From the moment Ji Jiuying took out the Netherworld Ghost Fire, she had no intention of letting her go easily. Even if she died, her soul would still be burned by the Netherworld Ghost Fire until her soul was completely destroyed.
Two days later, in the Sacred Forest.
The fiery red figure attacked relentlessly, the icy crimson sword in its hand radiating powerful energy, forcing the level nine peak Wolverine to retreat steadily.
Ji Jiuying's eyes hardened, and she activated the Ice Crimson Divine Technique. Powerful spiritual energy gathered in the Ice Crimson Sword, and streaks of cold light flashed. With a soft "poof," the Ice Crimson Sword pierced through Wolverine, and blood splattered everywhere.
Before he could even scream, he collapsed into a pool of blood and died shortly afterward.
Qi Yun, inside the space, looked at the outside world in surprise. He hadn't expected this girl to be so quick to learn. In just two days, she had already mastered the third page of the Divine Technique.
Ji Jiuying moved with fluid grace, severing Wolverine's core and four claws.
"Jiu'er, you've been fighting for two days straight, are you sure you don't need to rest?"
Gong Mingyue emerged from the shadows and wiped the sweat from her face.
"I'm not tired."
Gong Mingyue felt both heartache and helplessness.
For the rest of the day, Ji Jiuying was either on her way to battle or in battle, until the arrival of Xiao Yichen and Hei Xiangling interrupted her training.
What are you two doing here?
Ji Jiuying looked at Hei Xiangling and Xiao Yichen who had suddenly appeared and asked in confusion. What puzzled her the most was when Hei Xiangling and Xiao Yichen became so familiar.
"It's all because Xiao Yichen said he was looking for Feng Che, and I followed him around for three days, but we didn't find anyone with the surname Feng, let alone Feng Che!"
Hei Xiangling glared at Xiao Yichen, who awkwardly touched his nose.
"But a little unexpected thing happened!"
"Uncle-Master, why are you looking for my uncle?"
Ji Jiuying asked.
"It's all because of the matter of Kamakura. I asked Yuehua, and it seems that Kamakura's hiding place might be in the Wilderness City area."
"The Wilderness City?"
"The Desolate City is the most chaotic city in the Heavenly Domain. It's located in the southernmost part of the Heavenly Domain. Almost everyone in the Desolate City is a villain. There are no rules or regulations there. Even if you are killed in the street, no one will pity you; they will only think you are a piece of trash. There, killing happens every moment..."
"Most people wouldn't go to that kind of place that eats people up without spitting out the bones."
Xiao Yichen explained.
