Silence, a deathly hush descended.
With just one move, she had defused an attacker's offensive and sent him flying.
At this moment, whether the black - gold token in Nan Chaoyu's hand was real or fake, no one dared to openly question her anymore.
It was a joke. They were no match for Nan Chaoyu, not even worth a single finger of hers!
Nan Chaoyu clapped her hands as if hitting those two had dirtied her hands. Then she turned around, facing the crowd, and declared loudly, "Everyone, three years ago, Xie Haotian had an affair with Mu Miaomiao. But not daring to offend the city lord, he stuffed me into the Holy Light Envoy's carriage, trying to get others to kill me."
"Fortunately, I, Nan Chaoyu, am blessed with great fortune and have returned. Today, I swear that I won't rest until I've ruined these two shameless people. Only then can I relieve the pain I've endured in these three years."
Three years ago, this body was in a daze, stupid and dull. Xie Haotian and Mu Miaomiao had bullied her a lot. After getting on the Holy Light Envoy's carriage, she regained consciousness, but no one knew what she had experienced on the way from here to the Holy Heaven.
She had already pushed the Holy Light Envoy into the Soul - Devouring Sea to feed the fish. Now it was these two's turn.
From the moment she woke up, she had sworn to make those who had wronged her suffer and turn Nan Chaoyu into their eternal nightmare.
Now, it was time to start with these two bitches!
Nan Chaoyu gently waved her hand, and a sword covered in frost appeared in her hand. Holding the sword, she stepped towards the two people lying on the ground, unable to get up.
The tip of the sword pointed straight at Xie Haotian's eyes. "Today, I will make you pay for every bit of pain I've suffered."
The Holy Light Envoy was a pervert who liked to hear young girls scream. Afraid of deflowering them, he tied them up and whipped them every day.
The whip infused with spiritual energy hit their bodies, and the energy seeped into their veins like needles. During that time, she had lived in a nightmare every day.
And all of this was thanks to these two people.
Only then did Mu Miaomiao and Xie Haotian start to feel scared. Nan Chaoyu looked at them as if they were already dead.
"Chaoyu, I didn't mean to treat you like this. It was all Mu Miaomiao's idea. She bewitched me. I still love you," Xie Haotian said. Seeing Nan Chaoyu's sword about to touch his body, his mind snapped. He crawled towards Nan Chaoyu with all his might, hugging her thigh tightly.
"Chaoyu, please spare me. I'll listen to you and only like you from now on."
Mu Miaomiao was stunned. She looked at Xie Haotian in disbelief. "Brother Xie, how could you do this? Didn't you say Nan Chaoyu was a fool and didn't deserve you? Didn't you say you didn't dare to offend the city lord and wanted to secretly send Nan Chaoyu away?"
"You bitch, shut up! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have treated Chaoyu like this."
Before Nan Chaoyu could act, the two on the ground started arguing.
The on - looking crowd was dumbfounded. In their eyes, Xie Haotian had always been a heroic figure. Especially three years ago, when he took over the city lord's guard, his name often appeared on the merit announcements in the city lord's mansion.
Now, the Xie Haotian lying on the ground, pushing all the blame onto a woman just to survive, was he really the Young Master Xie they knew?
The halo around Xie Haotian had shattered into pieces, impossible to pick up.
"What a coward. Grandpa Xie served Menghai City all his life. How could the Xie family produce such a disgrace?"
"He has no sense of responsibility. Miss Mu was still protecting the Xie family's honor just now, but Xie Haotian is so shameless."
"Pfft, it's no wonder such a person would send his fiancée away."
"Miss Nan, kill him!"
"Kill him!"
The crowd's excitement made Xie Haotian panic for a moment. Looking at Nan Chaoyu, he pleaded, "Chaoyu, please."
But a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. These commoners, when he regained power one day, he would surely slaughter them all.
Nan Chaoyu saw Xie Haotian's expression and snorted. It seemed this man still didn't recognize his situation.
She raised her hand, and the sword tip pointed straight at Xie Haotian's dantian. Once this was broken, Xie Haotian's spiritual energy would leak out, and he would never be able to practice again.
Xie Haotian watched Nan Chaoyu's sword getting closer and closer. Despairingly, he closed his eyes.
He was finished!
"Little girl, you're so cruel at such a young age. Haven't you heard that we should forgive when we can?"
A light scolding made Xie Haotian snap out of his despair. A look of ecstasy appeared on his face. He opened his eyes and shouted, "Father, save me!"
A fierce look appeared on Nan Chaoyu's face. She moved even more aggressively, and the sword tip rushed straight towards Xie Haotian's dantian.
"Humph, overestimating yourself."
Suddenly, a middle - aged man appeared behind Xie Haotian. With a wave of his hand, a powerful spiritual energy wrapped around Xie Haotian, blocking Nan Chaoyu's attack.
"Xie Zhenkai." Nan Chaoyu glanced up at Xie Zhenkai, who was protecting his son like a hen. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on her face.
Xie Zhenkai felt a hint of uneasiness, but soon he thought he was overthinking.
This little girl had reached the limit just by becoming a cultivator in three years. How could she break through the defense he had set up?
Thinking of this, he slowly said, "Girl Chaoyu, since Haotian has realized his mistake, I'll ask him to apologize to you. How about we let bygones be bygones?"
Xie Zhenkai wasn't as simple - minded as Xie Haotian. This Nan Chaoyu had grown rapidly in three years. If she could become the Xie family's daughter - in - law, the Xie family's status in Menghai City would rise even higher.
Moreover, with Nan Chaoyu's talent, her children would surely be even more outstanding. If Nan Chaoyu didn't obey in the future, they could simply get rid of her and focus on training the children.
Hearing his words, the smile on Nan Chaoyu's face grew wider. She curled her lips. "Apologizing is so troublesome. It's easier to cripple him."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a "puff" sound. The white sword covered in frost pierced into Xie Haotian's dantian. The spiritual energy overflowed, and Xie Haotian's body immediately slumped to the ground.
Xie Haotian was crippled!
"Nan Chaoyu!" Xie Zhenkai didn't expect Nan Chaoyu to break through his defense, let alone that she would dare to act in front of him.
Immediately, he mobilized his spiritual energy and attacked Nan Chaoyu.
Xie Zhenkai was on the verge of becoming an intermediate - level cultivator. In Menghai City, he was a top - notch figure. His full - force attack might not even be withstood by the city lord.
But Nan Chaoyu seemed not to see it. She gently crossed the sword upwards, blocking Xie Zhenkai's attack. Then, everyone only felt a blur in front of their eyes, and Nan Chaoyu's sword was across Xie Zhenkai's neck.
Then, Nan Chaoyu's clear voice rang out,
"Master Xie, I only want Xie Haotian's life. Be quiet and don't force me to wipe out the entire Xie family."
Wipe out the Xie family!
At this moment, the only thought in the on - looking crowd's minds was:
She's really freaking arrogant!
