"You brats! How dare you show disrespect to this old monk? Truly, young calves fear no tigers. Since you're so eager to die, don't blame this old monk for taking your lives!"
As he spoke, the man in front waved his long sleeves. Poison needles followed the gentle breeze and shot towards Tang Youyou. At this critical moment, Rong Xun easily blocked the man's tricks.
Seeing Rong Xun remain calm, the man grew even more furious. He started throwing all kinds of poisons. After the billowing smoke cleared, the two of them remained unscathed.
At this moment, he seemed like a laughingstock.
However, he still couldn't accept that the things he had painstakingly studied had no effect on Tang Youyou and the other person.
"You two are truly hopeless!"
Seeing the man fly into a rage, Tang Youyou remained silent.
But at this moment, Ling'er on the other side quietly approached her. It seemed that she really thought Tang Youyou was easy to handle.
Then, the Second Elder immediately shouted, "Take her life for this old monk!"
The principle of "capture the ringleader first" seemed to have become a hellish joke at this moment.
Tang Youyou simply stabbed a needle into the neck of Ling'er who was approaching her.
In an instant, Ling'er fell to the ground, constantly covering the wound on her neck with both hands. Tears involuntarily streamed down her eyes.
Tang Youyou merely glanced at the person on the ground, pulled out the long sword of a guard beside her, and walked step by step towards the old man.
The old man felt a sudden chill down his back when he saw Tang Youyou's blood - red eyes. He had no idea what kind of person he had offended.
"Don't be ungrateful. This old monk has shown mercy because you're still young and hot - blooded. Don't push your luck!"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou sneered. "You? Let me ask you, what's your relationship with Bai Xue?"
Hearing this name, the Second Elder immediately frowned. His face changed drastically. Frowning impatiently, he said, "This old monk has never heard of any Bai Xue. If you don't hand over the Soul Jade soon, be careful that our Qingyun Sect will wipe out the entire Great Ming Kingdom!"
While speaking, he didn't forget to glare at Tang Youyou fiercely.
However, Tang Youyou saw a look of panic in his eyes. She knew that this man must know something.
While thinking, she looked at Rong Xun beside her. Her red lips parted slightly as she said coldly, "Rong Xun, protect me."
The next moment, a smile appeared on Rong Xun's face. While looking at Tang Youyou, he leaped onto the eaves with his light kung - fu. His pleasant voice pronounced the old man's death sentence.
"Kill him."
In an instant, the subordinates beside the old man immediately drew their swords and rushed towards him. Under the sophisticated swordplay of dozens of people, the old man quickly lost the battle.
Dozens of swords pierced through his heart, and he died on the spot.
Watching the motionless body on the ground, Tang Youyou took out a jade bottle from her bosom and poured the colorless liquid in the bottle onto the body.
In the blink of an eye, the person on the ground instantly turned into a pool of blood.
Seeing this, Ling'er, who had been standing still, instantly showed a look of horror. Seeing Tang Youyou's blood - thirsty face, she let out a shrill scream after a moment of silence.
Her pupils shrank suddenly. She trembled all over and collapsed on the ground, feeling weak all over.
Ling'er pointed at Tang Youyou with a trembling finger. "You really killed my master! How dare you! How could you do this!"
She was red - faced and her voice trembled. At the same time, she turned her gaze to Bai Xueji, who was unharmed on one side.
"You! What are you still standing there for! Kill her quickly! Hurry up!"
For a moment, when she saw Bai Xueji, it was as if she had seen a life - saving straw. She rushed towards the person in front of her in a hurry.
But Bai Xueji remained unmoved. Ling'er kept urging, "What are you standing there for! Don't you know you're from the Qingyun Sect?"
Hearing this, Bai Xueji frowned, dodged the hand behind her, and her face showed a look of shame. In front of Ling'er, she came behind Tang Youyou.
Bai Xueji raised her eyes and looked at Ling'er in front of her guiltily. This once - famous person in the Qingyun Sect had now become such a sorry state.
Bai Xueji said coldly, "Sister, sometimes, we still need to bow to reality. I've been living quite well in the palace of the Great Ming Kingdom. So..."
Just as she finished speaking, the two of them heard Tang Youyou's voice from behind. "You two can catch up. Maybe you won't have time later."
In the side hall, after a fight, in just a quarter of an hour, the guards had cleaned up the place. Ling'er, who had been so arrogant just now, now looked like a refugee.
Seeing her so quiet, Tang Youyou walked over slowly. Her slender fingers grabbed Ling'er's chin. Three red marks instantly appeared on her delicate skin.
However, even so, when facing Tang Youyou, this person still refused to beg for mercy.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou spoke first. "This palace knows that you must know a lot about your master's affairs. If you can tell me, this palace will spare your life."
Hearing this, Ling'er slowly raised her head. Even though she was in a sorry state, she still looked disdainful.
She laughed maniacally. "It's just a life. If you want it, just take it. I won't do anything to disgrace my master!"
After she finished speaking, Tang Youyou sneered again. She knew that this person wouldn't shed a tear until she saw the Yellow River. She glanced at Bai Xueji, who was silent on one side. "What do you think we should do?"
Seeing Tang Youyou's eyes, Bai Xueji instantly felt a chill run down her spine.
She forced out a helpless smile and then shook her head. "This commoner doesn't know. I'll follow the queen's wishes."
In Bai Xueji's opinion, since Tang Youyou could easily eliminate the Second Elder, she must have a way to deal with the Qingyun Sect.
In the palace, she had enough food and clothing just like before. It was the same everywhere. Why go back and endure the interrogation of those old men?
If she went back now, those old men would surely torture her half to death. It was better to stay by Tang Youyou's side. As long as she could survive, it was enough.
Bai Xueji's words made Ling'er, who was lying on the ground, feel even colder. "I didn't know that you could have such a connection with the royal family. Even if you kill me today, I won't say anything!"
Hearing her firm words, Bai Xueji couldn't bear it. She whispered and advised, "Senior sister, just be obedient. This person's methods are not just the small tricks of the elders of the Qingyun Sect. You can't fight against her."
This was indeed true. They had checked the poison on her for so long but hadn't found any abnormalities. So it was reasonable for her to choose a more suitable backer, wasn't it?
Thinking of this, she heard Tang Youyou slowly say, "Since that's the case, then let's try some medicine and see how capable this senior sister is, shall we?"
