The Zhao family had thought they would see Zhao Shuning in a brutal and injured battle, but they never expected such a peaceful scene.
The Evil Shadow Mystic Sky Ape beside Fei Yang let out a long howl at the sky. Immediately, those people from the Extreme Cold Palace who were in the middle of the fight stopped.
Everyone turned their gazes towards Zhao Shuning and the others.
"People of the Extreme Cold Palace, listen to my order. Leave Qinghui Town with me now."
"Yes!"
"Also, if anyone dares to breathe a single word about what happened tonight, I'll skin them alive and feed them to my demonic beasts."
"We dare not, sir."
When Fei Yang finished speaking, the shock on the faces of the Zhao family members was obvious.
But in the next instant, something even more astonishing happened. Fei Yang slowly walked up to Old Master Zhao. Zhao Zheng and the others immediately became alert and tried to protect Old Master Zhao.
Then they saw the blue - clothed young man lower his head, bend down, and say sincerely, "Old Master Zhao, I'm sorry. I was ignorant before and offended the Zhao family. If the Zhao family needs anything in the future, you can send someone to the Extreme Cold Palace to find me."
"Master Fei Yang?"
"Please forgive my rudeness, Zhao family."
At this moment, Old Master Zhao was speechless.
It was Zhao Shuning who stepped forward and said slowly, "You can go."
"Understood. Thank you, Second Miss."
The blue - clothed young man flipped onto his demonic beast. Then, in full view of everyone, he rode the demonic beast and led all the people from the Extreme Cold Palace out of Qinghui Town.
Those left behind were the people from the Zhang family and some of the spiritual herb masters they had hired.
The moment the protective shield shattered, they saw Zhang Zhi lying on the ground.
Their high - spirited momentum vanished without a trace in that instant.
"Shuning, what about Zhang Zhi?"
"He's dead."
These two simple words made everyone in the Zhao family tremble.
"Ning'er, how did Zhang Zhi die?"
"It wasn't me."
The Zhao family heaved a sigh of relief. But not long after, Zhao Shuning added, "But he deserved to die. Killing him was my original plan."
What? Did Zhao Shuning know she was attracting hatred?
Then, Zhao Shuning looked at the many spiritual herb masters and said, "Do you want to be buried with Zhang Zhi?"
In less than an hour, a four - stage spiritual herb master had died inside the protective shield. They had no idea how he died, but they understood one thing: the little girl smiling brightly in front of them was definitely not an ordinary character.
Previously, even Master Fei Yang of the Extreme Cold Palace had changed his attitude towards the Zhao family completely after coming out of the protective shield. He even directly addressed Zhao Shuning as "Second Miss". These changes shocked them.
The spiritual herb masters of the Zhang family began to retreat in a hurry. Their hands holding the swords began to tremble involuntarily.
Why could a little girl be so cold - blooded?
"What? Scared?"
Zhao Shuning took off into the air and stopped in mid - air. The spiritual force burning in the palm of her hand shocked everyone present.
Then, she gently said to the people of Qinghui Town, "Sleep for a while. It'll be over soon."
After these words fell, the villagers of Qinghui Town fell to the ground one after another.
Previously, the One - Revolving Red Blood Royal Pill she had given them also had a hypnotic effect.
Zhao Shuning didn't want to expose her identity as an alchemist. Without the certification from the Alchemist Association, she would become the envy of the four major families.
She would try her best to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
"A third - stage spiritual herb master?"
"It's impossible!"
How could a third - stage spiritual herb master kill a four - stage spiritual herb master in such a short time?
Fighting beyond one's level? She couldn't be that powerful.
Moreover, there wasn't even a single speck of blood on the hem of the girl's clothes.
"Want to leave?"
It was too late. When they decided to exterminate the entire Zhao family, they should have thought about the consequences.
Zhao Shuning clenched her fist at this moment. The surging mental force rushed out of her body and formed sharp threads in mid - air. These threads quickly woven into a large net, which appeared right behind the spiritual herb masters.
An alchemist?
The little girl of the Zhao family was actually a fourth - grade alchemist?
Did the Zhang family even know who they had offended?
Also, although this little girl was an alchemist, there was no copper coin on her chest indicating the certification from the Alchemist Association. Could it be that she had become a fourth - grade alchemist by her own ability?
The more they thought about it, the more terrified they became.
Were they facing a human being?
How was it possible that at such a young age, she could control her spiritual force at the third stage and her mental force had directly soared to the fourth grade?
Cultivating both powers simultaneously, such a heaven - defying genius, how could she be born in a small place like Qinghui Town?
"I don't believe this nonsense. How could this little girl really have such strength? Maybe this is just an illusion to deceive us. I've never seen such a young alchemist in my life."
As the man spoke, he swung his weapon at the large net.
Immediately, his weapon was cut into countless small pieces by the sharp net and then slowly fell to the ground, making a harsh sound.
"It's impossible!"
The net was real.
The mental force contained in it was incredibly powerful.
The spiritual herb masters of the Zhang family were now in a dilemma.
In front of them was the little girl Zhao Shuning, who was like a demon.
Behind them was the Heavenly Repairing Net woven by mental force, which could cut through flesh and blood.
They couldn't move forward, and there was no way back.
"Second Miss, we were just in an employment relationship with the Zhang family for this operation. Please spare us this time."
Once someone took the lead, many others quickly echoed.
Zhao Shuning looked at these duplicitous spiritual herb masters in front of her and felt extremely contemptuous.
The reason she didn't kill Fei Yang of the Extreme Cold Palace was that, firstly, he hadn't really done anything heinous, and secondly, she couldn't afford to provoke the Wang family for now. She had to hide her edge and grow slowly. Only in the end could she get back all the grievances she had suffered in the past.
But what made these people in front of her think that she would spare them?
They had been involved in imprisoning all the people in Qinghui Town from the very beginning. Their initial intention was to take the lives of everyone in the Zhao family.
Now they were begging for mercy, not because they were truly repentant.
They were just afraid of death.
"Spare you? It's very difficult."
The little girl quickly formed a magic seal and then rapidly changed its speed.
The space above the spiritual herb masters became more and more distorted.
The powerful pressure made it difficult for them to breathe, and they couldn't even lift their heads.
The suppression of the mental force made their brains buzz.
Their skin began to crack, and the blood inside slowly oozed out due to the pressure of the mental - force space. The sight was extremely bloody.
