Chapter 1332: Chapter 1331: Infighting Within Tuo Shi
Therefore, he must properly teach Shen Hanxue a lesson, retrieve his lost dignity, otherwise, he will surely be ridiculed by everyone.
Lingxiao Pavilion Master?
Elder Wu looked helpless; if Shen Hanxue was truly Yang Ling’s reincarnation, then a mere Lingxiao Pavilion Master was nothing.
"Yin Zhengyuan, have them go back first, and then I’ll explain to you," Elder Wu said.
However, the current Yin Zhengyuan was completely consumed by rage. All he wanted was to make Shen Hanxue pay the price; he must make everyone understand the consequences of ignoring him.
"Elder Wu, I know you’ve always treated Su Changfeng as a disciple and always defended her, but don’t blame me for not reminding you: if you continue to favor her blindly, today my Lingxiao Pavilion will sever ties with your Shangyun Pavilion. Are you really going to ruin Tuo Shi over a worldly woman?" Yin Zhengyuan said.
Elder Wu’s face changed dramatically. Was this guy crazy? Saying things that would sever ties with Shangyun Pavilion was completely aiming to ruin Tuo Shi!
"Yin Zhengyuan, as the Lingxiao Pavilion Master, you dare to actively provoke conflict between the two pavilions; do you understand what this means?" Elder Wu looked over with a serious expression.
What does it mean?
Yin Zhengyuan smirked coldly, he no longer cared about these things. Ever since Shen Hanxue had trampled him, he had lost sight of the bigger picture. Even if it meant really ruining Tuo Shi, he had to avenge this grudge.
"Elder Wu, my intentions are already clear. This matter has nothing to do with you; you’d better not interfere!" Yin Zhengyuan said.
Elder Wu glanced at Shen Hanxue, shook his head somewhat helplessly; she didn’t give Yin Zhengyuan any face, no wonder he would lose his mind like this.
"Are you blaming me?" Shen Hanxue suddenly glanced at Elder Wu.
With a faint tone, yet carrying a sense of questioning, it made Elder Wu feel like he was being looked down upon. The aura emanating from Shen Hanxue was not something an ordinary person would possess. It was possible there was indeed some connection between Yang Ling and her.
If that were the case, never mind Elder Wu, even the entire Tuo Shi would have no right to blame Shen Hanxue.
"The purpose of Tuo Shi’s existence is to address the crisis from the Outer Domain; if internal strife arises, the consequences are unimaginable," Elder Wu said.
"This matter started because of me, so naturally I’ll deal with it. Since Yin Zhengyuan wants revenge, I’ll give him this chance," Shen Hanxue said calmly.
"Now that Lingxiao Pavilion is united against outsiders, are you planning to kill all its members?" Elder Wu asked worriedly.
Shen Hanxue shook her head; she naturally wouldn’t be so violent, but those who deserved to die, she wouldn’t spare either.
Once Yin Zhengyuan is dead, would the rest of Lingxiao Pavilion members dare to do anything?
Shen Hanxue placed Ye Nianhai down, walked out unhurriedly, and said to Yin Zhengyuan, "As Master of Lingxiao Pavilion, you ignored Tuo Shi’s rules and incited internal strife. Today, you must pay the price for your wrongdoings!"
"Hahaha, really?" Yin Zhengyuan suddenly laughed aloud. He had brought all the top experts from Lingxiao Pavilion this time; naturally, he wouldn’t be scared by Shen Hanxue.
"Shen Hanxue, do you think I’ll be afraid just because you said that? Look carefully; here are all Lingxiao Pavilion’s experts. Today, you’ll find no escape!" Suddenly, Yin Zhengyuan’s smile vanished, his gaze filled with venom.
"Experts so what? Haven’t you heard, no matter how many ants there are, how can they contend with a tiger?" Shen Hanxue maintained her calm expression.
Yin Zhengyuan burned with rage; she actually viewed the entire Lingxiao Pavilion as ants—how arrogant!
"Today, you’ll pay for your arrogance. Not only will you die, but your daughter will also die!"
"You should be glad you didn’t say this in front of Chang Feng; otherwise, your end would be even more tragic, as he cares deeply about Niannian." With those words, Shen Hanxue suddenly laughed, showing no sign of worry.
"Seize her!" Yin Zhengyuan shouted, and the hundreds of top experts behind him charged forward.
But in the blink of an eye, Shen Hanxue, who had been standing opposite, suddenly disappeared. Everyone was stunned; they hadn’t seen how Shen Hanxue did it or where she was now.
Only Elder Wu, standing behind Shen Hanxue, saw her position. She had already appeared behind Yin Zhengyuan.
Even Elder Wu’s heart was stirred by this speed and movement.
From a mundane woman back then, she became a master with such strength upon meeting again—how could ordinary people possibly achieve this?
At this moment, Elder Wu became increasingly convinced there was a connection between Shen Hanxue and Yang Ling, or it could even be said Shen Hanxue’s previous life was Yang Ling!
"Huh? Where’s she?
"Yeah, I didn’t see her."
"Wasn’t she just here?"
"..."
While everyone was bewildered, Yin Zhengyuan suddenly felt a faint chill behind him, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
Then, Shen Hanxue’s voice sounded in his ear, "If you die, they probably won’t do anything anymore; after all, no one wishes to risk themselves for a dead person, right?"
Yin Zhengyuan’s face showed terror, an unprecedented sense of death tightly enveloped him, rendering him almost immobile.
"You... you can’t do this, I... I am the Lingxiao Pavilion Master, you can’t kill me!" Yin Zhengyuan’s voice trembled slightly.
"Elder Wu mentioned, there was once a master here named Yang Ling. I might be her reincarnation. So, tell me, can I kill you?" Shen Hanxue responded calmly.
Yang Ling!
Yin Zhengyuan’s eyes widened instantly; how could she be Yang Ling’s reincarnation?
Not possible, absolutely impossible!
Just as Yin Zhengyuan was about to speak for a chance at survival, his pupils suddenly dilated, a bead of blood emerged between his brows.
He opened his mouth, intending to say something, but it was no longer possible.
In his remaining consciousness, he was overwhelmed by infinite regret; if he could redo this, he definitely wouldn’t have sought trouble with Shen Hanxue. But unfortunately, there was no ’if.’
In the blink of an eye, Shen Hanxue reappeared beside Elder Wu, still leaving the crowd clueless about what happened. As they located their target again, they prepared to charge.
"Yin Zhengyuan is dead; are you planning to die with him?" At this point, Shen Hanxue’s cold voice resounded.
The crowd immediately halted, instinctively turned to look at Yin Zhengyuan.
Boom!
Like thunder out of a clear sky, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief. How could it be in just the blink of an eye, Yin Zhengyuan was dead?
