You know, in Mo Bai's body, there was originally the inheritance power left by the ancient fierce beast, the Flaming Fire Dragon.
By nature, he was a walking killing machine.
Now, hearing Zhao Shuning say so.
The hidden ferocity in him no longer needed to be controlled and burst out all at once.
Then, before the laughter of the group of people opposite even faded away.
Their heads rolled down.
No one could tell how the young man had moved. All they knew was that his speed was as fast as lightning. In just an instant, so many experts had died on the spot.
When Mo Bai's mouth was about to touch Huang Sandong's neck.
Zhao Shuning said, "Mo Bai, stop."
She still wanted to hear what else Huang Sandong had to say. Did he really kill Se Se?
At this moment, people could see that some of the young man's teeth had already pierced into Huang Sandong's flesh.
At this time, Huang Sandong was sweating profusely. His body kept trembling. Then his legs gave way, and he fell off his horse. Covering his neck, he looked at Zhao Shuning and the young man in horror.
Instinctively, he shrank back on the ground.
Huang Sandong was scared.
It was the first time he had seen such a creature.
A creature that could wring a person's neck. And this creature was actually a living person. It was more appropriate to say that he was a wild beast, a blood - thirsty one.
"Huang Sandong, I'll ask you one more time. Is Se Se really dead?"
Huang Sandong's eyes widened in horror.
He turned his head, and Mo Bai was right behind him. He had nowhere to retreat.
If it weren't for Mo Bai's action this time, Zhao Shuning wouldn't have known that the inheritance power in his body was growing at an incredibly fast pace.
This power had merged with Mo Bai's own spiritual cultivation.
So his progress was incredibly terrifying.
"I - I - Who are you exactly?"
"Hmm?"
"I'll tell you. That Miss Ling, no, no, Miss Ling. I didn't do anything to her. I really thought she was beautiful and wanted her to be my main wife. I even went through the proper match - making procedures and prepared a sedan chair. I never intended to harm her from the start."
"If it weren't for that girl trying to kill me in the end, she wouldn't have accidentally fallen into the Man - Eating Lake and died without a trace."
"Little girl, no! Senior! Senior, you have to find out the truth. I really didn't kill her on purpose."
Only 30% of what Huang Sandong said could be believed.
If he hadn't forced Se Se to marry him, how could Se Se have been forced onto the sedan chair by her uncle and aunt from the Ling family? And how could she have tried to harm him in order to protect her innocence?
Zhao Shuning knew Se Se's character very well.
If this Huang Sandong really had no ill intentions towards her, she would never have thought of killing Huang Sandong.
"Finished?"
"Spare me, Senior. Spare me."
"Senior, whatever you want, I can give it to you. Please, spare me."
Zhao Shuning frowned.
At this moment, a voice came from afar, "Little girl, forgive when you can. Just consider it as a favor owed to you by the Association in the capital, Chang'an. Will you spare Brother Huang?"
The person who said this was a Taoist priest.
Before long, he appeared in front of everyone.
On his chest, three copper coins were proudly hanging.
It seemed that he was an alchemist, and a third - rank alchemist at that.
"Are you from the Association in the capital, Chang'an?"
The Taoist priest nodded, "The preliminary selection this year is over. I'm confident that I will definitely pass the Association's test and successfully enter the Association. It's just a matter of time."
"Haha - Really? I'm afraid you're just a clown who resorts to tricks, coming here to act arrogantly in the name of others and seek fame. Do you really think the Association would be willing to keep a dog like you?"
Zhao Shuning was very familiar with the Association.
The grand elder there was once cultivated by herself. Ji Qinglin and Xia Wanning should have grown up by now. They were both eighth - rank alchemists, and they deserved the position of grand elder.
That rascal Ji Qinglin would never let such a despicable person enter the Association.
Nor would Xia Xia allow it.
Hearing Zhao Shuning's words, the Taoist priest's face turned a mix of green and white.
It looked really satisfying.
"Little girl, do you know where the Association in the capital, Chang'an, is? How dare you slander it like this?"
"What? Trying to use the reputation of the Association to pressure me?"
Zhao Shuning's eyes were sharp. She continued, "I don't look down on the Association. I look down on you. A person like you wants to enter the Association? Only if Ji Qinglin goes blind."
Ji Qinglin, the grand elder?
This grand elder who had absolute say in the Association. Why did this little girl mention his name so casually?
Ji Qinglin was a figure that countless alchemists looked up to.
As long as alchemists heard his and Elder Xia's names, they would speak with more respect.
"So, you're not going to give this poor Taoist priest face?"
"Brother Taoist, save me."
Zhao Shuning found the actions of the two really ridiculous.
"You, a third - rank alchemist, dare to be arrogant in front of me. If you're smart, get out of here quickly."
The Taoist priest looked back at Huang Sandong.
Over the years, he had had his way with many of Huang Sandong's thirty - six wives. It was precisely because of Huang Sandong that he had enjoyed many good treatments that he had never had before.
If he ignored Huang Sandong today and let him die here, would all his future glory, wealth, and the embrace of beautiful women disappear?
"Little girl, this poor Taoist priest - "
"Get out!"
The Taoist priest thought it over. Since this little girl could mention the grand elder of the Association so calmly, she should not be an ordinary person.
He didn't want to risk his life for Huang Sandong.
So after some consideration.
The Taoist priest bowed his hands and stood aside, saying, "Senior, do as you please."
Zhao Shuning nodded. Just as she was about to signal Mo Bai to act, she heard a roar from the opposite side.
"You lecherous Taoist priest. How dare you abandon me? I won't let you off easily. Senior, it was because of him, this lecherous Taoist priest, that Miss Ling died in the Man - Eating Lake."
Zhao Shuning's gaze suddenly turned to the Taoist priest.
A flash of panic appeared in the Taoist priest's eyes.
It seemed that what Huang Sandong said was the truth.
"What's going on?"
"It was him. He wanted to force himself on Miss Ling. Unable to bear the humiliation, Miss Ling jumped into the lake."
Hearing this, the Taoist priest immediately blushed.
"You're lying. It was you, Huang Sandong, who said we should do it together!"
Do it together?
How shameless.
"Kill them all."
Without even a scream, Huang Sandong and the Taoist priest fell to the ground. Their heads were placed not far from their bodies, still staring in horror.
It seemed that they died with regret.
