Even when Ji Fengyao was killed by the pill furnace, the undercurrents of conflict on the Pill Spirit Continent never ceased. This is also why, despite his poor business acumen, the Pill Sect was not allowed to collapse under his leadership—because all the prestigious immortal sects had a great demand for elixirs.
But a major battle could lead to the collapse of the land...
Ji Fengyao felt that what Gu Da said could only be taken as a story.
What plane abandoned by the gods;
It must be that those gods thought this world was beyond saving and would perish sooner or later, so they were too lazy to bother taking care of it anymore.
Stories are stories, but let's deal with the realities of life first.
Ji Fengyao put away the array shuttle.
Shang Xiye had Wuying escort Guda away from the secret place.
Outside, most of the Gu family members were subdued by the people brought by Wuying. Only Gu Lin and a few other Gu family members who had cultivated were still fighting against a large group of guards and soldiers.
Gu Da is the head of the Gu family lineage and also the person with the highest cultivation level in the family.
They saw Guda being held captive by the Shadowless One;
And there came Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao, who appeared relaxed and at ease.
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Gu Lin and the others stopped making futile struggles and obediently surrendered.
"Your Highness, what do you think should be done with these people?" Shang Xiye asked Ji Fengyao gently, bowing his head.
“According to the rules of the cultivation world, when you cut a weed, you must wipe it out completely…” Ji Fengyao casually fiddled with her fingernails, her face completely nonchalant.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Gu family felt a chill in their hearts.
Guda and Gulin immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
"It was my brother and I who set up the trap and injured people. We beg you, senior, to show mercy and spare our family. They are just ordinary people who have never done anything wrong in their lives. Their youngest child is only a month old. They should not have to pay with their lives because of our momentary folly."
"Seniors, Ninth Prince, as long as you spare my family, I will do anything you ask of me, even serve you like a slave!"
Ji Fengyao glanced at the Gu family members in the courtyard and saw that several women were holding infants or swaddled babies in their arms.
And most of them had bewildered and timid expressions on their faces;
Clearly, the Gu family protected them very well; most of them lived a wealthy and peaceful life, and were not exposed to too much of the world.
"I am not one to kill innocent people indiscriminately," Ji Fengyao coldly reminded Gu Da and Gu Lin, "but you have injured my people and killed several guards of the Ninth Prince's Mansion; if this matter is left unresolved, I'm afraid it will discourage the people below."
Guda and Gulin exchanged a glance.
The two men simply raised their knives and slashed at each other's left and right arms respectively.
Ji Fengyao quickly raised her hand and flicked her wrists, sending out two bursts of spiritual energy to knock the knives out of their hands. She said, "Since you have shown remorse, I will spare you this time. As for the guards who died because of you, you shall pay each of their families 500,000 taels of silver as compensation."
"Thank you, senior! Thank you, Ninth Prince!"
Gu Da and Gu Lin wept with joy and immediately kowtowed again.
The other members of the Gu family also knelt down and kowtowed, weeping as they expressed their gratitude.
Ji Fengyao shook her head, took out several medicine bottles from her storage space, and said, "Wait a minute before you thank me. Now that you know my secret, how can I feel at ease if I don't take some self-protection measures?"
This is my unique poison, and only I can cure it.
This drug causes poisoning every three months. If there is no antidote after the onset, the patient will suffer from excruciating pain and itching for forty-nine days, eventually leading to intestinal perforation, abdominal rot, and death from suppuration throughout the body.
Those who wish to keep the medication a secret will have the antidote delivered to them by this young lady on time.
Those who refuse to take the medicine will be killed on the spot.
