Chapter 1121:- Yun Luofeng's Rage (3)
They intended to see whether this battle would result in the Physician Tower's win or the three great family's territory would remain steady as a mountain and unshakeable.
Wah!
Just as the elders swiftly charged toward Yun Luofeng, numerous strands of creeper vines appeared on the ground and entangled the elders like a swimming snake. One of the elders was caught off guard, and the vines coiled around him, immobilizing him.
Seeing his situation, his companions immediately drew their swords, wanting to chop off the vines. However, the vines were as firm as steel, and the swords were unable to chop it off.
"What is this?" His face was deathly pale, his eyes brimming with fear. "Why isn't my strength enough to cleave it?"
As he was about to back up, the vines from the side launched toward him without any notice from his part. If it were not for Nangong Qing's sharp scream, perhaps he could have dodged the vine by chance. However, Nangong Qing just happened to scream, "Elder Ou Xing, careful!"
Hearing this, Ou Xing instinctively halted. And it was because of this pause that the vines instantly tangled around his body...
The entire estate became deadly silent. As for the previously arrogant elders, they could only continue to dodge those indestructible vines and had no time to spare to deal with Yun Luofeng.
...
At this time, inside the dark and damp cell, Nangong Lan's feet mercilessly stepped on Nangong Yunyi's back. With a frosty smile on her lips, she bent down and eerily said, "Nangong Yunyi, are you in a lot of pain? No worries, as long as you beg me, perhaps I will allow you to die easily."
Nangong Yunyi closed his eyes. His action already revealed his thoughts. Even if he died, he would not plead for mercy!
"Alright, you have a backbone. Since it's like this, I will carve out your eyes first, then chop off your limbs. I would like to see how tough you are!"
Nangong Lan flipped Nangong Yunyi's body over, and a dagger abruptly appeared in her hand, which she used to gesture at his eyes.
"Tell me, should I gouge out your left eye first or your right eye?" Nangong Lan said with an icy smile, "Of course, if you insult Yun Luofeng once, I will leave behind one of your eyes! If you praise me saying I'm better looking than Yun Luofeng and more talented than Yun Luofeng, then I will let you keep both eyes."
Nangong Yunyi did not make a single sound and kept his eyes tightly shut. His death-accepting manner completely infuriated Nangong Lan.
"Nangong Yunyi, let me tell you, Yun Luofeng can't compare to me!" Viciousness flashed through her eyes. "She must have consumed something that raised her strength in order to break through to her current realm. When only talents are considered, 10 Yun Luofengs can't measure up to one of me! As for appearance... I'm the number one beauty in Endless City! Yun Luofeng is nothing! Any man who thinks she is more beautiful than me is blind!"
Nangong Lan had to disguise herself when she was outside during these past years, so she was venting all of her emotions onto Nangong Yunyi.
"You aren't willing to humiliate her? Alright! Then I will also cut off your tongue so that you can't saying a single word from now on."
Her dagger trailed from his eyes to his lips, and she harshly pried open his lips with an eerie and terrifying smile.
Feeling the icy cool feeling on the tip of his tongue, Nangong Yunyi lightly trembled before recovering his calm. He opened his eyes and pitifully looked at Nangong Lan.
In truth, Nangong Lan was too pitiful. She could now only use these words to fool herself.
.

Chapter 1122:- Yun Luofeng's Rage (4)
"Nangong Yunyi, you're seeking death!" Nangong Yunyi's gaze stung Nangong Lan. She only needed to put force behind her hand, and she would cut his tongue off.
Bang!
But at this time, the door to the prison was burst opened by a wave of power, startling her, and her hand jolted and she lost her grip on the dagger.
Nangong Lan furiously turned her head and was about to curse in rage when she shockingly saw Milk Tea and Queen Hamster appear inside the prison and her face went white. "You... you are... Why are you here?"
There was no way that she did not recognize Yun Luofeng's two companions. However, what remained incomprehensible to her was why these two people would appear here.
Hearing Nangong Lan's voice, Nangong Yunyi's exhausted eyes slightly looked up and turned to Milk Tea and Queen Hamster. His expression finally relaxed at that moment.
Yun Luofeng... came?
That was right, she must have come. Otherwise, her two subordinates would not appear here!
"Xiao Bai!" Milk Tea caught sight of Lin Ruobai nailed to the wall at first glance and hastily sprinted over with an anxious expression. "The nails on her body are a bit special. If we forcefully pull them out, it might make Xiao Bai's spirit disperse. That won't do, we must find Master in order to save Xiao Bai!"
The Queen Hamster did not say anything, and her aloof eyes swept toward Nangong Lan. "Are you ready to receive my master's fury?"
Nangong Lan's expression shifted, and she snorted. "Our three great Families have the protection of the ancestral elders. Yun Luofeng is nothing! She is no match for the ancestral elders!"
"Queen Hamster." Seeing that the Queen Hamster wanted to continue speaking, Milk Tea walked over. "Xiao Bai's state is too horrendous. Under the influence of these nails, her spirit is very weak. If we don't save her in time, she might not be able to survive. We should go find Master now."
"Also..." Milk Tea pointed at Nangong Yunyi on the floor. "This guy is Master's friend. I will bring him along. You grab this woman to hand over to Master!"
After saying this, Milk Tea headed toward Nangong Yunyi, who was entirely covered in blood. He glanced at the injuries on him, and his expression abruptly changed. "His spine is broken, his ankles are broken, his viscera are damaged. His injuries are extremely severe, but thankfully, our master's medical skills are brilliant and should be able to save him. If he encountered someone else, even if his life was saved, he would only become an invalid."
Milk Tea kneeled down and lifted Nangong Yunyi onto his shoulder.
Nangong Yunyi, who had suffered such a long duration of pain, finally could not resist gasping at that moment. With his extremely weak voice, he asked, "Can you be gentler?"
"No!" Milk Tea humphed. "Who told you to be idiotic to this degree and have an altercation with the Nangong Family unaccompanied?"
Nangong Yunyi wryly chuckled. "I didn't expect it to be like this. As soon as I returned to the Nangong Family, I was locked up by them."
Originally, when he heard the three great families kidnapped Lin Ruobai, he wanted to come back to survey the situation. Who knew he would have the bastard tag slapped onto him as soon as he came back?
"The next time something like this happens, wait for my master! Don't show off on your own!" Milk Tea glared at Nangong Yunyi and lifted his hand to slap his back. "This pain is to make you remember this."
Although Milk Tea was not very polite in his speech, Nangong Yunyi could still detect his concern. A smile could not help but rise on Nangong Yunyi's lips.
"You've harmed both Master's disciple and friend." The Queen Hamster indifferently walked toward Nangong Lan. "A hundred deaths would be too good for you!"
.

Chapter 1123:- Yun Luofeng's Rage (5)
Nangong Lan's face was ghastly pale as she attempted to stagger back due to her fear. However, the Queen Hamster did not give her the opportunity to escape and grabbed her by her lapels before turning around and headed out of the prison.
"Master's fury can't be endured by everyone."
...
Nangong Family
Inside the main courtyard, Yun Luofeng's aura was sharp like a sword as she evilly and coldly watched the people hiding from the creeper vines' attack.
"If we continue like this, we will all be caught by her. So we must kill her first! It's only when she dies that these vines will stop!" the gray-robed old man declared between clenched teeth as he coldly looked at Yun Luofeng.
That instant, the elders who managed to remain alive all stopped hiding and charged toward Yun Luofeng while gathering all of their power.
"Die!"
Angry shouts rang in the air one by one, accompanied by an old man flinging his palm towards Yun Luofeng's head from the air. His eyes were incredibly cold and piercing, and his aura like a flood.
Everyone believed that Yun Luofeng's brain would turn into mush from this slap and she would die without an intact corpse!
Boom!
Suddenly, a barrier appeared above her head and blocked his attack. At the same time, the barrier loudly exploded, and the powerful explosive force sent the old man two steps back.
"I heard you used an innocent person to seize my disciple?" Yun Luofeng peered up, watching the old men diving at her one after another. "Using innocent people to seize my disciple... how should I settle this score with you?"
Her power rippled on her body, and her waterfall-like hair wildly danced in the wind, making her appear magnificent and imposing.
At that moment, all the old men already reached her and launched their strongest attack against her, planning to kill her with one hit.
No one had any hesitations! As soon as they hesitated, they would get entangled by the vines!
"Yun Luofeng, you have guts larger than the heavens! Today, we will kill you here and tell the world that the status of the three great families is unshakable! As for your disciple, she's getting what she deserves!"
Boom!
Boom Boom Boom!
The power of countless sage-level cultivators rushed into the air, causing the sky and earth to grow dim and colorless. Lightning flashed and thunder clapped, reverberating through the horizon.
The young girl's expression remained static under the wild winds, bewitching and indifferent. Her pitch-black eyes were like the stormy ocean, pulling people in like a whirlpool.
At the same time, a countless number of long swords appeared around her, floating in the air and emitting a bone-chilling iciness.
Wah!
When the elders reached Yun Luofeng, the long swords finally moved and uniformly headed for all the elders. They sharply slashed through the sky, leaving a dark afterimage behind.
"When I was at the Physician Tower, I said something. Those who submit to me, you can have the world. Those who go against me, you will traverse through hell!"
Plop!
The long swords blocked the elders' attacks. There appeared to be a wave of energy that viciously slammed on their chest, causing a bone-deep pain to penetrate them.
An elder seemed to have sensed something and looked up in shock. "You... you are... a sage-level cultivator?"
Sage-level cultivator! The Tower Master of the Physician Tower was actually a sage-level cultivator?
A chillingly evil smile spread across Yun Luofeng's lips. "Apologies, I coincidentally broke through to sage-level just last night."
Rumble!
Like thunder rolling, everyone present was stupefied.
It was evident that Lin Ruobai was able to fight with these elders because a transformation occurred in her body, causing her strength to rapidly increase.
However... Yun Luofeng was a genuine sage-level spirit cultivator!
.
.
.
Chapter 1124:- Yun Luofeng's Rage (6)
She isn't even 20 years old yet! There has never been a genius like her in history!
"Sage-level spirit cultivator? Impossible! You said you broke through last night, but the breakthrough of sage level would produce a commotion! How come we didn't detect it?" the gray-robed old man asked through clenched teeth.
"You have no need to know about this matter!" Yun Luofeng's eyebrows were slightly raised, displaying her innate boldness. The sight of her peerless figure standing in the middle of the wild winds was so beautiful that it made people unable to look away.
The vines did not surprise attack them this time. Instead, they openly crept onto the elders and tightly bound them in place.
The elders' face turned from its initial shock to pale-faced, eventually turning ashen when they realized death was imminent.
"Master!"
Suddenly, an anxious voice called out from the side. Yun Luofeng turned to look and saw Milk Tea quickly walking over while carrying Nangong Yunyi.
"Nangong?" Yun Luofeng was startled and reached Milk Tea's side in a flash. She lifted her hands to take Nangong Yunyi's body, fury bubbling in her heart. "Who injured him?"
No wonder Nangong Yunyi did not come out even though she made such a big commotion. It turned out he ended up in these people's hands.
Nangong Qing's expression was very unsightly. He did not imagine Nangong Lan would torture Nangong Yunyi to this degree. Thank goodness this boy was not his own son. Otherwise, he would die from heartache.
"Master." The Queen Hamster stride over and ruthlessly tossed Nangong Lan onto the floor before looking up at Yun Luofeng. "Young Master Nangong was injured by this woman."
Yun Luofeng's frown grew larger. "What about Xiao Bai? Didn't you find Xiao Bai?"
Milk Tea met the eyes of the Hamster Queen and had to steel his heart before honestly answering, "Master, Xiao Bai was nailed to the wall by spirit nails. The Hamster Queen and I didn't dare to act blindly, so we came to find Master to save Xiao Bai."
Spirit nails?
The fury in Yun Luofeng's heart festered, and she coldly swept her eyes over everyone from the Nangong Family.
"I said that I want everyone from the three great Families to die if she left behind a drop of blood! But you not only made her shed blood, but you also made her endure this type of pain! Hence, I will make you suffer eternal torment! Queen Hamster, detain these people. Milk Tea, come with me to save Xiao Bai."
As Yun Luofeng was saying this, she had already flashed far away, so all that remained inside the courtyard was wave after wave of echoes.
...
Yun Luofeng quickly entered the prison after Milk Tea. When her gaze landed on Lin Ruobai nailed to the wall, her heart was cruelly squeezed.
"Milk Tea, move over, I will extract the spirit nails from her!"
Spirit nails could suppress the spiritual energy inside a cultivator and could exhaust a human's spirit at the same time until the spirit dispersed!
After Milk Tea moved back, Yun Luofeng gathered all of her spiritual energy inside her palm and lightly placed it on Lin Ruobai's head. Her tone was not as domineering as before and became gentle instead.
"Xiao Bai, I'm sorry I was late. When you initially left Spirit God Mountain and chose to follow me, I already decided I would keep you safe."
"But... I couldn't protect you in the end and allowed you to get hurt over and over again! However, I will make anyone who harmed you pay for it a thousandfold!"
Lin Ruobai did not have a single sign of life. If it were not for the weak movement from her nose, perhaps Yun Luofeng would have thought she had already passed away...
"Xiao Bai, when I extract the spirit nails from you, it will be a little painful. You must bear it no matter what!"
.
.
.
Chapter 1125:- Yun Luofeng's Rage (7)
Plop!
After Yun Luofeng pumped the spiritual energy inside Lin Ruobai, Lin Ruobai suddenly shuddered, and a spirit nail was forced out of her. However, there were still hundreds of spirit nails on her.
These spirit nails were connected with her spirit, so any careless motion would cause the spirit to be irreparably damaged. Hence, Yun Luofeng was very careful in every step, afraid that she would harm Lin Ruobai's spirit...
Time quickly passed and the sky outside the prison also dimmed. At some point in time, Yun Luofeng's back was drenched in sweat, and her clothes stickily clung to her.
Milk Tea tightly clenched his fists and looked at Yun Luofeng with worry. "Master, why don't you rest? If you continue, your body can't handle it."
Yun Luofeng appeared to not have heard him, and her body's spiritual energy poured into Lin Ruobai without restraint, completely disregarding the possibility of draining herself dry.
Thankfully, Medical God's Code Space could provide spiritual energy for her. Otherwise, she would have already collapsed under this type of input. Even so, the supply of the Medical God's Code Space did not match up to her output.
Her stunningly beautiful face was already drained of all colors.
The nails inside Lin Ruobai lessened little by little while the pile on the ground grew bigger and bigger.
Perhaps because the pulling out of the spirit nails shocked Lin Ruobai's spirit, her brows were involuntarily locked tightly together, as though she was experiencing immense pain.
Finally, under Yun Luofeng's coercion, the final spirit nail was forced out of Lin Ruobai's body and her body uncontrollably cause fell into a heap.
"Xiao Bai."
Yun Luofeng stumbled a little and forced herself to remain standing through pure willpower. When she looked up, she caught sight of Lin Ruobai falling head first and she swiftly stepped up, catching the girl's falling body.
After the extraction of the spirit nails, Lin Ruobai's brows also relaxed. Her expression was very peaceful as she quietly laid in Yun Luofeng's embrace.
Yun Luofeng tightly held onto Lin Ruobai, incredibly calm. As though it was the calm before the storm.
"Master..." Milk Tea opened his mouth and watched Yun Luofeng with concern.
Although the current Yun Luofeng was expressionless, Milk Tea could feel that her heart was bleeding.
"Milk Tea, collect the spirit nails. I still have a use for them." Yun Luofeng's slender fingers gently smoothed Lin Ruobai's hair, a gentle smile rising on her face. "Xiao Bai, sleep without worry. I will go avenge you."
After she said this, Yun Luofeng carefully settled Lin Ruobai on the ground and pulled out several silver needles from her ring, piercing them into Lin Ruobai's temples.
"Master?" Seeing Yun Luofeng's actions, Milk Tea curiously asked, "What are you doing?"
Yun Luofeng stood up. "Lin Ruobai's spirit was seriously injured, and I don't have the medicinal herbs to recover her spirit's strength at the moment. But if it doesn't recover, her spirit will soon disperse, so I used the needles to seal her spirit inside her body. I will awaken her after I find the herbs."
"Master, place Lin Ruobai inside the God Code Space." Xiao Mo's voice rung from her spirit. "The spiritual energy inside the space can help her heal so that her physical body won't suffer any damage."
Yun Luofeng was startled. "Can't only spirit beasts enter the God Code Space?"
.
.
.
Chapter 1126:- Yun Luofeng's Rage (8)
"Master, you have sealed Lin Ruobai's spirit, so she's currently the same as a physical body without a spirit. Medical God's Code Space won't reject her entry," Xiao Mo patiently explained.
Yun Luofeng nodded. "Alright, then I will place her inside the God's Code Space first. It's now time for me to settle the score with those people!"
With a wave of her hand, the cyan-robed girl laying on the ground disappeared into thin air without a trace.
Immediately after, she turned around and walked out of the prison. At that moment, the aura around the girl was overwhelming. She resembled a devil who stepped out of Hell, so powerful that it provoked fear from the bottom of people's hearts.
...
Nangong Family
Inside the main court, under the pressure of the Queen Hamster, no one dared to move. Their eyes were full of terror, and they were easily scared.
If it was in the past, they could still rely on the ancestral elders. Unfortunately, the ancestral elders were all currently tied up by the vines. Without protection, they did not dare to even escape.
It was in the midst of this dread that Yun Luofeng slowly walked towards them.
The cool moonlight enveloped the girl's snow-white robes, but it was unable to cover up her terrifying aura.
With her every step, everyone's hearts would shudder once. Their eyes transformed from their initial fear to despair.
"Yun Luofeng." Nangong Yunyi was startled when he saw Yun Luofeng walking over on her own and asked, "You weren't able to save your disciple?"
Yun Luofeng shook her head. "I already sent her to a safe place. Don't worry. I came here to settle the score with the Nangong Family."
Her aura did not change as her evil eyes turned to Nangong Qing. "At first, I gave you a chance due to Nangong Yunyi, but I didn't expect you to not grasp this chance."
Nangong Qing's face shifted. "You said you have me a chance because of Yi'er? What a joke! If you really considered him a friend, you wouldn't feed poison to me!"
Yun Luofeng's eyes were a pitch black abyss. "What I gave you wasn't poison. It was a tonic medicine. I was originally going to have Nangong inform you after he came back. Who would have thought that you wouldn't even give him the chance..."
A tonic medicine?
Nangong Qing's eyes shot open, and his body started trembling. "You're lying to me! That can't be possible, that absolutely can't be possible!"
"If you don't believe me, you can feel the power in your body. Did it increase a lot?" Yun Luofeng's voice was very placid, not a single emotion could be detected.
Yet, Nangong Yunyi knew full well that the current Yun Luofeng was already furious to the point of being about to kill someone!
But she temporarily suppressed the fury in her heart in order to generate lifelong remorse in Nangong Qing.
Nangong Qing was incredibly astonished and hurriedly sat down cross-legged. When he probed into his body, his expression became more unsightly.
She was right! It was not poison, it increased his strength instead!
What was laughable was that he actually thought it was poison and committed such a large mistake!
"I gave you tonic medicine because of Nangong. If you weren't Nangong's Father, I would definitely treat you the same as the other two great families!"
The girl's evil voice traveled through the air into everyone's ears.
Nangong Yunyi looked at the girl standing in the wind, a smile rising on his lips.
Yun Luofeng was a person who cherished friendships. No matter how much she disliked Nangong Qing, she would still be merciful for her friend's sake. It was a pity that Nangong Qing did not cherish this chance, causing him to fall into eternal damnation without reprieve.
.
.
.
Chapter 1127:- Yun Luofeng's Rage (9)
Nangong Qing staggeringly stood up with a pale face and shook his head as he said, "Why? Why is it like this? Right, you said you were merciful because of Nangong Yunyi! But Nangong Yunyi isn't my son, he's nothing but a bastard! If you knew this, you would still poison me, hahaha!"
Towards the end, he broke into deranged laughter. His bloodshot eyes intently staring at Nangong Yunyi.
Yun Luofeng subconsciously turned to look a Nangong Yunyi before sending her sight back to Nangong Qing. "You said Nangong isn't your son? Where's the proof?"
Nangong Qing sneered. "His mother was a slut. Back then, I loved her so much, but she had an affair with my younger brother and birthed a bastard like Nangong Yunyi! What was laughable was that I was kept in the dark and planned to pass on the Nangong Family to Nangong Yunyi."
"Your younger brother? Nangong Chen?" Yun Luofeng snorted. "Milk Tea, Queen Hamster, bring Nangong Chen over here!"
Nangong Qing was taken back, not understanding how Yun Luofeng knew Nangong Chen's name?
Milk Tea and Queen Hamster disappeared as soon as her words finished.
Gold-seeking hamsters were very fast, and they were incredibly talented at finding people. Hence, it wasn't long before Nangong Chen, covered in torture wounds, was brought in front of them.
When Mu Qianqian and Nangong Lan saw Nangong Chen brought here, dread faintly rose in their hearts.
"Behave!" Milk Tea viciously warned as he tossed the struggling Nangong Chen onto the ground.
Confusion flashed through Nangong Chen's eyes. He glanced first at ancestral elders bound by creeper vines then at the pale Nangong Qing, clearly not understand the situation.
A bone-chilling voice rung beside him, making him freeze. "Do you know Yang Xue?"
Yang Xue?
Nangong Chen was startled and hastily looked up, his gaze unwaveringly staring at the picturesque girl beside him. "What do you mean?"
The girl coldly smiled, her dark eyes bottomless. "Your first love, Yang Xue, is already dead!"
Boom!
Nangong Chen's body shuddered. He rapidly scrambled up from the ground and angrily charged toward Yun Luofeng.
BANG!
Before he reached Yun Luofeng, he saw the girl raise her leg and sent him flying back into the crowd with a kick.
Nangong Chen coughed out a mouthful of blood, his handsome appearance fierce. "You are speaking nonsense! Xue'er can't be dead! She absolutely isn't dead!"
"If you don't believe it, you can make Mu Qianqian bring her here and see if she can hand her over."
Instantly, everyone's gaze gathered onto Mu Qianqian's face.
Mu Qianqian's complexion was ghastly white as she angrily glared at Yun Luofeng. "Don't frame me! I don't know any Yang Xue! I have no clue who she is!"
Suddenly, Nangong Chen got up again and swiftly charged at Mu Qianqian.
Mu Qianqian did not have Yun Luofeng's reflex, and her lapels were instantly snatched by Nangong Chen.
His face was vicious as he furiously shouted, "Mu Qianqian, what did you promise me? I only had to listen to you and frame Nangong Yunyi and his mother, and you would let Xue'er go! It's been more than 20 years! Where did you hide my Xue'er for 20 years? Return her to me! Return her!"
Nangong Chen shouted himself hoarse, his bloodshot eyes looked like he wanted to devour her.
.
.
.
Chapter 1128:- Yun Luofeng's Rage (10)
"You lunatic, let go of me!" Mu Qianqian raised her hand and flung her hand at Nangong Chen's face, her body trembling from anger. "I said that I don't know any Yang Xue! I don't know what you're saying, so where should I find that person for you?"
Nangong Chen guffawed. As laughed, tears began streaming down his face.
"Mu Qianqian, I shouldn't have obeyed you and framed Nangong Yunyi and his mother! I wouldn't have harmed two innocent people otherwise. I didn't even save Xue'er in the end! Don't think I don't know that Nangong Lan isn't even my brother's daughter! She's a bastard from a one night stand with a man outside, but you needed a scapegoat, so you plotted against my brother while he was drunk!"
A sneer adorned his lips. When he recalled everything he did these last twenty plus years, he really wanted to ruthlessly slap himself!
However...
Hearing his words, Nangong Qing froze. His eyes widened in disbelief and were glued to Nangong Chen. "Why did you say? You wrongly accused Hu'er? Yi'er is truly my son?"
He must be lying! That is absolutely impossible!
Nangong Chen snorted. "Brother, you are truly idiotic. You believed whatever Mu Qianqian and I said. Your beloved woman never betrayed you, and Yi'er is indeed your son."
Boom!
As though struck by lightning, Nangong Qing's face instantly turned into the color of pig liver. His body started shuddering as he glanced at the injury-ridden Nangong Yunyi, and a heart-wrenching feeling pervaded his entire body.
Hu'er didn't betray me... Yi'er was truly my child!
What in the world had he been doing? He drove out his most beloved woman and allowed his only son to be so seriously injured!
"Nonsense!" Nangong Lan charged toward Nangong Chen like a mad woman and her fists fiercely pounded into him.
"I am a daughter of the Nangong Family! I am Father's child! You dare to slander me and harbor Nangong Yunyi? Why right does he have to be Father's son?"
Nangong Chen did not dodge and allowed Nangong Lan to punch him as she pleased. He had already accepted death at this point.
Xue'er was already dead? What reason did he have to continue living?
He could not protect her when she lived, so he would not allow anyone to hurt her in death!
"Yi'er..." Nangong Qing watched Nangong Yunyi with heartache and a face full of guilt. "Father is scum and actually thought you were Nangong Chen's bastard! I even caused you to be tortured like this. It's Father's fault. Father did wrong by you..."
He begged for Nangong Yunyi's forgiveness, not only because Nangong Yunyi was his son, but also because he had a better relationship with Yun Luofeng. If Nangong Yunyi forgave him, then Yun Luofeng would certainly release him for his sake!
Unfortunately, Nangong Qing guessed wrong this time...
The Nangong Family harmed Xiao Bai, so there is no way they could escape death!
Moreover, Nangong Yunyi saw through his thoughts with a single glance, so he turned away, ignoring him.
To put it mildly, he did not have any feelings for this father of his, and even if he did, he would still side with Yun Luofeng.
Plop!
Nangong Qing suddenly kneeled on the ground, regretful tears streaming down his face. "Yi'er, Dad doesn't ask for your forgiveness. Dad only hopes you can consider how well Dad treated you before, and spare Dad's life! Also, it was the ancestral elders' idea to use the spirit nails on Lin Ruobai. You also weren't beaten up by me. I'm innocent..."
.
.
.
Chapter 1129:- Yun Luofeng's Rage (11)
Even now, Nangong Qing was still exculpating himself of all wrongdoings and wanted to shove all the fault onto someone else.
"The moment you thought I was a bastard, you were no longer my father." A cold smile slipped onto Nangong Yunyi's face. "I also won't feel any sympathy for you!"
Was he cruel? Did he truly forget Nangong Qing's favorable actions? No!
It was because he understood Nangong Qing's personality. This man was vicious and merciless and would do anything to achieve his goals! Now that the Nangong Family was decimated in Yun Luofeng's hands, how could he let the matter go?
No matter how Nangong Qing once doted on him, it could not compare to his long friendship with Yun Luofeng. He won't tenderhearted for Yun Luofeng's sake!
"Nangong Yunyi!" Nangong Qing angrily cried, "Are you truly this heartless? I'm your father! Won't you be struck by lightning for killing your father?"
Nangong Yunyi was about to respond when Yun Luofeng lifted her hand, halting him.
"Don't cause trouble for Nangong," the girl announced with raised brows. "Even if he pleaded on your behalf, I wouldn't spare a single person from the three great families!"
Nangong Qing's face was deathly pale, and despair invaded his eyes.
Suddenly, the girl's previous domineering proclamation rung in everyone's mind.
Those who submit to me, you can have the world. Those who go against me, you will traverse through hell!
If they submitted to her, with her strength alone, a portion of the world will belong to them in the future. If they went against her, then they can only traverse through infernal hell...
"You nailed Xiao Bai to the wall with spirit nails previously and caused her immense pain. Now, I will return this pain to you a thousandfold!"
Yun Luofeng extended her hand toward Milk Tea. "Milk Tea, hand over the nails you picked up."
Milk Tea did not want to understand what Yun Luofeng wanted to do but still took out the spirit nails.
"Engulf these nails inside a flame for seven days, then soak them in the juices of the poisonous lingzhi mushroom for five days. After the juice dries, nail these people to poles and their spirit will disperse after seven weeks!"
These people only used normal spirit nails on Lin Ruobai, so it could only consume her spirit, making her endure the pain of her spirit being depleted. Also, it required several hundred spirit nails to have an effect.
However, these spirit nails were not like that after Yun Luofeng's modification. A single nail could allow them to enjoy pain a thousand times more intense than Lin Ruobai's.
Lin Ruobai's spirit was being consumed and her power was bound. Whereas their spirit would feel like they were in a purgatory every single second. How could normal people endure that type of pain? Yet, hell was only burning their soul, so they could not lose consciousness even if they wanted to!
The most important part was that the spirit nails experienced by Lin Ruobai would make her spirit disperse within 10 days. That is to say, she only had to endure 10 days of pain...
However, the spirit nails modified by Yun Luofeng would not allow their spirit to disperse until 49 days had passed!
"No!" Nangong Lan sharply screamed. "Yun Luofeng, are you human? How could you be so cruel? No, I absolutely don't want to be tortured like this!"
Her body was slightly trembling, her face pale.
"Cruel?" Yun Luofeng coldly smiled. "Did you think you were cruel when you were torturing Xiao Bai? Did you think about whether it was too cruel when you broke Nangong's bones? I, Yun Luofeng, don't requite evil with good! I only know how to fight evil with evil!"

Nangong Lan grew limp and collapsed on the ground. Her eyes were wide open with despair, empty and unfocused.
"Milk Tea, I will leave these people's punishment to you. Queen Hamster, you will bring the tribesmen of the Hamster Tribe to watch over the other two great Families. I will head back first to treat Nangong and seek retribution from the other two Families later!"
Her actions toward the Nangong Family will quickly to spread to the other two Families for certain. Hence, she had Queen Hamster bring her tribesmen to detain them in order to prevent them from escaping at the sight of an unfavorable turn of events.
"Hiss!" When Yun Luofeng bent over to carry Nangong Yunyi, he bared his teeth from the pain of her tugging on him. "Yun Luofeng, are you still a woman? Can't you be gentler?"
Yun Luofeng glanced at him. "I don't need to be gentle toward you."
Nangong Yunyi's face darkened and grumbled, "You and your servants are indeed cut from the same cloth. It is true that a pet takes after its master."
Hearing this, Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her eyes and forcefully slapped on Nangong Yunyi's broken bone, causing him to holler in pain.
"Yun Luofeng!" he yelled between clenched teeth.
"Nangong, how were you injured to this extent by a mere Nangong Lan?" Yun Luofeng's lips turned up with an evil and chilly smile. "What happened to the spiritual beasts I gave you?"
Nangong Yunyi said, embarrassed, "Nangong Lan used your disciple's life to threaten me. I had no choice but to withdraw the two spiritual beasts."
"You have at least studied many years at Huaxia. Is your brain stuffed with cotton?" Yun Luofeng snorted. "She threatened you, and you withdrew your spiritual beasts? They only kidnapped Xiao Bai to make me hand over the antidote, so they won't harm her life. Why didn't you understand that?"
"Moreover..." Yun Luofeng paused. "They can't kill Xiao Bai. Otherwise, they wouldn't use the spirit nails to restrain her."
Nangong Yunyi scratched his head, face full of shame. "I didn't think that much in a bind."
"Remember, no matter what you do in the future, use your brain to think through it. Don't be too brash." Yun Luofeng glanced at Nangong Yunyi again. "Xiao Bai and you are very important to me. I don't wish for anyone besides me to be injured, especially unnecessary injuries."
Nangong Yunyi's strength was not bad to begin with, and he also had two spiritual beasts, but he was actually seriously disabled by Nangong Lan like this.
"Thank you..."
Yun Luofeng was about to leave when she heard this voice from her shoulder and her steps briefly paused.
"Nangong." She faintly smiled. "I will leave the Land of No Return very soon. At that time, I will wait for you on another continent. I will wait for you to find me after you become stronger."
Nangong Yunyi contained determination fiercer than ever before. "Yes, I will certainly come and find you."
This was his promise to her. An eternal promise!
After they returned to the Physician Tower, Yun Luofeng started treating Nangong Yunyi.
Because Nangong Yunyi's injuries were too serious, it would not be too easy to cure him, so Nangong Yunyi's injuries would take a few days to recover.
It was at a time like this that Mu Chu, who had been sent by Yun Luofeng to Dragon Pond to train, returned.
"Miss Yun, I have finished my assigned mission and brought back the dragon scales. Can I join your Physician Tower now?" Mu Chu's body was somewhat shaky. Half of his face was soaked in blood, bone ghastly peeked through one of his fingers, and his clothes were in tatters.

Chapter 1131:- The Destruction of the Three Great Clans (1)
"Alright." Yun Luofeng slightly nodded towards Mu Chu standing in front of her. "Go and rest first. I will have someone treat your injuries. Also, come with me to the Wu Family tomorrow."
Mu Chu was startled and looked at Yun Luofeng with joy. "You are saying you plan to bring me to save my sister tomorrow?"
He just returned to Endless City, so he still did not know about the recent events and the commotion that Yun Luofeng's actions provoked within Endless City today.
Following the destruction of the Nangong Family, alarm spread through the three great families, especially after they heard about Yun Luofeng's inhumane actions. They were struck with panic and could not help but regret their previous actions.
"Family Head Wu." The Family Head of the Ou Family was plagued with regrets, and his face was ridden with remorse. "I never would have imagined that Yun Luofeng could annihilate all of the ancestral elders of our three great families with her strength alone. What should we do now? Are we just going to sit and wait for death here?"
What should they do now?
Family Head Wu bitterly chuckled as he weakly fell onto the ground with eyes full of despair and pain. "What else can do we do? Should we just abandon all of our family property and leave here?"
"With our strength, it won't be difficult to start over. It would be better than dying here," Family Head Ou said with determination flickering through his eyes.
Indeed, starting over would be better than being buried here.
"Then, let's hurry and leave now. It will be too late otherwise." Family Head Wu clenched his teeth and stood up with resolution in his eyes.
The two of them wanted to leave post haste without packing up their belongings, but at this time, a panicked voice was heard.
"Family Head, it's not good, there's a problem! People from Physician Tower have surrounded the Wu Estate." A servant staggeringly ran over, eyes full of panic and a sobbing tone in his voice.
"What?" Family Head Wu's face was pale. "The Physician Tower is so fast? It's over, we are certainly finished this time."
Family Head Ou's eyes darkened as he asked, "What about my Ou Family?"
Originally, he came to find Family Head Wu to discuss countermeasure against the Physician Tower. Who knew that news of Yun Luofeng carving her way into Nangong Family would arrive?
They did not think much of it at first since the ancestral elders were present, so Yun Luofeng would certainly die in Nangong Family regardless of strong she was.
However, things did not go as expected.
It was not until they heard all the ancestral elders had fallen into Yun Luofeng's hands that they felt panic. If they lost these ancestral elders, the three great families would be nothing more than an ordinary family.
"People of the Physician Tower also went to Ou Estate." The servant's voice was trembling. "When they saw that Family Head Ou wasn't there, they completely incinerated the Ou Estate!"
"What?" Family Head Ou unsteadily shook and nearly collapsed onto the ground. He watched the servant, his complexion ghastly pale. "You said my Ou Estate was burned to the ground by people of the Physician Tower?"
Family Head Ou currently had bloodshot eyes, and his vicious look caused the servant to shiver in fear.
"Yun Luofeng! What she did will incur heaven's wrath! She will die a horrible death!" Family Head Ou roared between gritted teeth.
If Yun Luofeng was in front of him, he would probably wish nothing more than to drink her blood and eat her flesh!
"Family Head Ou." Family Head Wu collapsed on the ground and despairingly muttered, "This time, we are beaten!"
And they were beaten by a new power in Endless City!
.

Chapter 1132:- The Destruction of the Three Great Clans (2)
Family Head Ou coldly smiled, his smile sinister and terrifying, and his eyes revealed a cruel glint.
"That's not for certain. After leaving the Physician Tower today, I made my daughter temporarily leave Endless City and head to her fiance's in order to prevent her from being accidentally hurt by this. If my daughter learns that we died at the hands of the Physician Tower, she will certainly avenge us!"
Family Head Wu's eyes dimmed. So what if Ou Ya fortunately managed to escape this time and avenge them? It still would not save them now...
Wah!
While Family Head Wu contemplated a countermeasure, a tide of people rushed into the courtyard. When he saw the crowd, his expression drastically changed.
A girl clothed in white led the crowd. Magnificent was not enough to describe her beauty.
Family Head Wu and Family Head Ou both knew their death drew near. Their face was extremely pale, and they could not help but start to tremble.
"Mu Chu!"
Suddenly, Family Head Wu saw the man standing next to Yun Luofeng, and his features drastically shifted. He angrily hollered, "You traitor! You actually dared to conspire with Yun Luofeng to harm the Wu Family! Shame that our Wu Family raised your sister and you for so many years! You are an ungrateful wretch!"
Yun Luofeng's wicked eyes turned to the incensed Family Head Wu, and absentmindedly said, "His loyalty to you for all these years have made up for your kindness of raising him and his sister. Moreover, you used his sister to threaten him and wanted to marry her to a crippled man. How should he settle this score with you?"
Mu Chu's handsome face instantly darkened, and he tightly clenched his fists. His eyes were filled with a cold fury as he looked at Family Head Wu. "You wanted to marry my sister to a cripple?"
Family Head Wu did not expect Yun Luofeng to know about this, astonishment entering his face.
After recovering, he said with a cold smile, "That's right. I did want to marry her to a cripple, but so what? That cripple is willing to use an extremely valuable medicinal herb in exchange. That little bitch leeched off of my Wu Family for so many years, shouldn't I collect some payment for it? Should I let her freeload instead?"
Boom!
Steam burst from Mu Chu's Head as he angrily retorted, "Freeload? I have been a guard for your Wu Family over these years. Besides food and clothes, what else have I accepted from your Wu Family? What we eat is plain meals, what we wear is burlap clothes! We haven't even mentioned a monthly wage for all these years, but you said we were freeloading?"
As soon as he thought of the grievances that he and his sister suffered over the years, fury uncontrollably ruptured from his heart and spread out as though it wanted to destroy the world.
"Mu Chu! You have the guts!" Family Head Wu did not have the courage to say anything to Yun Luofeng, but Mu Chu was part of his Wu Family and had always been loyal, so he completely overlooked Yun Luofeng's presence and furiously met Mu Chu's eyes.
"Who gave you the guts to say something so treacherous? If I didn't consider that you and your sister had no home to return to, I wouldn't have taken you in! Now that I have already taken you two in, you have the nerve to raise other requests? There is no way I will give you a single copper coin, let alone monthly wage!"
That's right! In Family Head Wu's mind, it was already extraordinary generous that he was willing to provide food for the siblings, so how could he dare to ask for a monthly wage?
.

Chapter 1133:- The Destruction of the Three Great Clans (3)
Who gave him the nerve to say something like that?
"Mu Chu, you have to remember that the Wu Family does not lack guards. Yet, not only are you not immensely grateful to the Wu Family, but you also speak so shamelessly! Think deeply about the Wu Family's benevolence toward you!"
Yun Luofeng held her arms across her chest with a wicked smile on her lips. She did not say anything and merely watched how Mu Chu dealt with the Wu Family.
Mu Chu's eyes slowly filled with disappointment.
It was because he was grateful to the Wu Family for taking them in that he had raised that type of request when he initially submitted to Yun Luofeng. However, the Wu Family did not spare a thought for his protection over the years and instead, thought he had received their favor.
"Back then, to protect my cousin, also your daughter, I nearly died at the hands of a spiritual beast! But I have never held this favor above the Wu Family's head. I have always adhered to my duty as a guard."
Facing Mu Chu's disappointment-filled eyes, Family Head Wu snorted. "That was your own choice to protect her. I didn't force you. What right do you have to hold it over the Wu Family's heads?"
Mu Chu shook his head, unable to say anything else.
Perhaps he should have given up the moment the Wu Family had no scruples against feeding poison to his sister in order to force him to go to the Physician Tower to get closer to Yun Luofeng...
"Tut tut, it is true that trees without its bark would die for certain, and people without their shame are unrivaled in the world!" A little girl in fiery red clothes stepped up and stood beside Yun Luofeng. Her young face had a mocking smile, and her bright eyes were brimming with ridicule. "I have lived for many years, but it's my first time seeing someone so shameless."
Family Head Wu's face was filled with embarrassment. He glared at Mu Chu. "What are you doing still standing there? Scram over here now!"
Mu Chu did not move at all and silently stood beside Yun Luofeng, watching Family Head Wu expressionlessly.
Family Head Wu's face turned more unsightly. He turned to Yun Luofeng and said, "Yun Luofeng, you have heard our conversation just now. That's right, Mu Chu is part of the Wu Family and a spy sent to the Physician Tower by me. If you keep him by your side, he will turn into a threat for you for sure."
Since you betrayed the Wu Family, I won't let you live well either.
A cruel light flashed through his eyes, his malicious eyes glancing at Mu Chu.
Yun Luofeng lightly stroked her chin, her dark eyes filled with laughter. "I knew this a long time ago."
"What did you say?" Family Head Wu was incredibly shocked.
He did not believe that Mu Chu would have the guts to reveal his identity! Unless... he did not want to save his younger sister.
"The day that Mu Chu entered the Physician Tower, he already confessed everything, so I knew he was from the Wu Family a long time ago." A wicked smile spread on Yun Luofeng's face. "As for why I knew you wanted to make his sister marry a cripple, it was because I sent someone to her side. I already treated the poison in her as well."
Family Head Wu backed up in a stumble and fell onto the chair behind him. "Impossible... that's impossible!"
He did not believe that he would lose so completely!
"Mu Chu." Yun Luofeng slightly looked up. "I will leave the Wu Family for you to handle. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Despite the complicated feelings in his eyes, Mu Chu reverently responded, "Yes, Tower Master."
Looking at the people from the Physician Tower who completely surrounded the Wu Estate, Family Head Wu jolted and hoarsely screamed, "Yun Luofeng, you will certainly regret taking in Mu Chu. This boy can betray me now, and he can certainly betray you in the future! Just watch! Hahahaha!"
.

Chapter 1134:- The Destruction of the Three Great Clans (4)
Light flashed through Yun Luofeng's eyes as she fell into contemplation. It was a while before she looked up at Mu Chu and asked, "You've settled your sister?"
"Yes." Upon hearing this, gratefulness bled through Mu Chu's eyes. "I really don't know how to thank you. If it weren't for your help, my sister and I would still be under the control of the Wu Family.
"You don't have to thank me. You just need to use your strength to pay me back." Yun Luofeng dryly smiled. "I'm different from the Family Head of the Wu Family. I won't restrict your freedom or dock your pay. I only have one request: You are never allowed to betray the Physician Tower!"
The end of her words was marked by a killing intent flashing through her eyes and the unleashing of a powerful aura, so powerful that it made people unable to breathe.
"If I learn that you have even any intention to betray, you know my methods!"
Mu Chu's heart jolted. With a determined expression, he stated, "Tower Master, this subordinate won't betray the Physician Tower in his lifetime!"
"Alright, you can go." Yun Luofeng waved her hand and leaned back on the chair with fatigue. Her demeanor was lazy, and her eyes were also closed.
"Yes." Seeing Yun Luofeng's tired appearance, although Mu Chu wanted to say something more, he ended up cupping his fists and retreating.
The moment he left, Yun Luofeng opened his eyes and massaged the point between her eyebrows. Even her tone contained a trace of exhaustion. "Yun Xiao, I will be able to come and find you very soon..."
She had already broken through to sage level, so she possessed the qualification to head to the other continent.
Now, she merely needed to wait for a time...
...
At this time, inside a luxurious palace some distance away from Endless City, on a bed with light muslin veil, a man had his head tilted, allowing his hair to flow from the bed onto the ground like a waterfall.
The man only had a red cloak draped over his body, his white skin peeking out now and then.
He was unworldly beautiful. If one had to use a common phrase to describe the man, only 'seductive minx' would fit.
"Master." A servant girl entered through the doors and reverently reported, "News has arrived from Endless City. The Physician Tower has annihilated the three great families."
"Oh?" Hearing this, the man looked up. His hair slid to the side and stopped covering half of his face, revealing the red dot between his brows.
He was more seductive than a woman. If a man like him pretended to be a woman, no one would suspect his gender.
"Her name is Yun Luofeng?" Intrigue flashed the man's eyes, and his lips imperceptibly turned up. "How interesting. This girl is very interesting. I haven't seen a woman this interesting in a long time. Right, how is that Lin You old man?"
The servant girl cupped her fists and said, "Ever since Lin You was kicked out of the Physician Tower by Yun Luofeng, he had been waiting for the opportunity for revenge. Master, should we prevent him?"
Lin You was the old man who humiliated Yun Luofeng at the banquet that day and thought that he would certainly become someone high-ranking in the Physician Tower. However, he had no clue that Yun Luofeng was the Tower Master of the Physician Tower.
This caused him to be thrown out of the Physician Tower by Yun Luofeng and join this faction.
"Don't mind him. If he was the capability, let him take revenge on his own." The man slightly narrowed his eyes, seduction oozing from his smile. "However, that woman isn't someone he's capable of taking on! Also, I had him go to the Physician Tower to approach Yun Luofeng, but he messed it up and even avoided responsibility! I don't know whether he's the stupid one or he thinks I am the stupid one!"
.

Chapter 1135:- The Destruction of the Three Great Clans (5)
The man slightly turned his head, his hair concealing the side of his face but displaying his seductive red lips. "Leave! If you have news of Yun Luofeng, continue to report to me."
"Yes, my lord." The servant girl retreated after cupping her fists.
After the servant girl closed the door, the man slowly sat up from the bed, his long and narrow phoenix eyes containing an unreadable smile.
"This lord has heard that Yun Luofeng's disciple's spirit was injured and she must consume the Soul Fruit if she wants to fix her spirit!" The man gently stroked his chin with a faint smile. "So... Tian Luo, bring the Soul Fruit here. This lord wants to hold a Physicians Competition! The competition will use the Soul Fruit as a reward. Yun Luofeng will certainly be attracted here."
He was silent for a moment before continuing, "Also, the competition will be arranged by Lin You this time! This lord had that old fart go to the Physician Tower to be an undercover agent in order to investigate Yun Luofeng's strength. Who knew he would offend her! Then this lord will send that old thing to Yun Luofeng and allow her to play with him as she pleases!"
Inside the room, a shadow suddenly flashed inside. He cupped his fists toward the half-naked man on the bed before instantly disappearing from the room.
The man watched the direction that the shadow guard disappeared in as he muttered to himself, "Yun Luofeng, the one chosen by Medical God Jue Qian. This lord would like to see the true extent of your power..."
If Yun Luofeng could hear the man's words, she would certainly be immensely surprised.
He actually knew she received Jue Qian's inheritance? What in the world were his... origins?
"Also..." The man paused, an alluring smile appeared on his beautiful face. "If this lord guessed correctly, that disciple of hers should be from here. Who knows whether following her is fortune or misfortune. However, the one chosen by Jue Qian won't be knocked down from this difficulty... This lord believes that she can travel even further!"
...
It did not take many days before a piece of news appeared on the continent, evoking a commotion.
The Ji Family was the most mysterious faction within the Land of No Return.
People say that the Family Head of the Ji Family was very young and as beautiful as a flower. His appearance might make him look like a woman, but his strength was extraordinary, and he was vicious and merciless! Legends say that the Family Head of the Ji Family already broke through to sage level, and his power could compete with the imperial family.
Currently, the Ji Family was about to hold a Physicians Competition and wanted to use a Soul Fruit as a reward. This competition elicited a shock within a countless number of kingdoms. Every kingdom also sent strong cultivators to it in order to obtain the Soul Fruit!
It was for no reason other than the fact that consuming the Soul Fruit would improve the cultivator's spirit! It was an exceptional treasure that could only be encountered through serendipity.
However, because Family Head Ji did not like to see outsiders, the Physicians Competition did not take place in Ji City where the Ji Family was located. It was occurring at Spirit City instead! As the organizer of the competition, Lin You was the target of the boot-licking of countless numbers of physicians.
Under this unceasing torrent of reverence, he was so joyful that he did not know which direction was north.
At the same time, inside the Ji Estate, on the large, extravagant bed, a man languidly leaned against the headboard. His vixen eyes glanced at Tian Luo in front of him as he asked, "What is the progress?"
"My lord, the physicians of every kingdom have come to participate in the competition."
"And Yun Luofeng?" The man slightly narrowed his eyes.
Yun Luofeng was his true goal this time...
.
.

Chapter 1136:- The Destruction of the Three Great Clans (6)
"She hasn't arrived yet." Tian Luo's cold voice was filled with respect, and his head remained lowered the whole time, keeping his expression unclear.
The man faintly smiled, revealing his innate seductiveness. "This lord can wait! The competition will be held whenever Yun Luofeng arrives. Also, how's Lin You's behavior?"
"Flushed with success."
These three words encompassed Lin You's current state.
"Let him continue." The man imperceptibly smiled. "Lin You strings lie after lie, so he can't remain! Since he publically humiliated Yun Luofeng before, then he can be the toy I send to her! As for the Soul Fruit... It will be my present for her."
Tian Luo kept quiet and his head lowered, but his heart started feeling sympathy for Lin You. Lin You only had himself to blame for committing two fatal mistakes.
He first humiliated Yun Luofeng in public, then he shoved all of the responsibility for his error on Yun Luofeng and was full of lies.
His lord hated other people lying the most. This point alone decided that Lin You absolutely could not stay!
"Tian Luo, continue to observe Lin You. Wait until Yun Luofeng comes before further reports."
"As my lord orders!" Tian Luo cupped his fists. His body was like a breeze and disappeared from his spot in the blink of an eye.
...
Spirit City was unusually lively. Lin You beamingly received the strong cultivators coming and going. He was truly flushed with success.
How many years? How many years had it been since he had been so proud? If he did not join the Ji Family due to his good luck, he probably would not have this type of treatment.
Yun Luofeng! When you expelled me from the Physician Tower that day, did you think I would be so successful?
Thinking of the mission given to him by the Ji Family this time, his geriatric face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum from how much he was smiling.
In Lin You's eyes, his lord had him complete this mission because he favored his strength! The Ji Family had so many people, so why would he choose him instead of someone else to organize the competition otherwise?
At this time, Lin You's eyes caught sight through the crowd of a beautiful figure on the street.
The girl had a lazy smile donned on her lips as her wicked eyes surveyed the passersby. Her snow-white clothes were very eye-catching in the crowd, and added with her unworldly beauty, she could not be overlooked.
"Yun Luofeng!" Lin You shouted between clenched teeth, quickly followed by a guffaw. "I didn't expect you would also participate in the Physicians Competition this time. However, you are in my hands this time! I absolutely won't let you off!"
The actions of the Physician Tower in Endless City had not circulated yet, so Lin You did not know the girl had already broken through to sage level. Otherwise, he absolutely would not do something that gave him lifelong regret.
As for why the seductive man from the Ji Family knew this... It was because Endless City had spies from the Ji Family, so Yun Luofeng's actions could not be hidden from him.
Yun Luofeng appeared to feel someone intently watching her and looked up. Instantly, a pair of eyes filled with rage and hatred clashed into her sight.
"Would this be considered the inevitable clash of enemies?" Yun Luofeng touched the tip of her nose, helplessness creeping into her wicked smile. However, Lin You's strength was not enough to make her cautious.
Lin You's eyes were bloodshot. If this gaze fell into someone ignorant, they would think Yun Luofeng was the killer of his father.
Perhaps Yun Luofeng had already forgotten that day's events, but he could not forget the humiliation of being kicked out of the Physician Tower!

Chapter 1137:- The Unruly and Domineering Ji Jiutian (1)
"Sir Lin You, this girl is..."
The physicians who came to participate in the competition all had extremely sharp eyes. When they caught sight of Lin You's suddenly bloodshot eyes, their line of sight simultaneously turned to Yun Luofeng.
"Someone without a brain." Lin You snorted with a sneer on his lips. He walked to Yun Luofeng with his arm behind his back and his chin raised high and overbearingly said, "Yun Luofeng, I didn't expect you to be down on your luck as well! Of course, if you beg me, I will allow you to participate in the competition this time!"
Yun Luofeng glanced to Lin You and her lips imperceptibly moved. "Qing Mu, take it out."
Hearing this, the old man beside Yun Luofeng withdrew an invitation from his lapels and handed it to Yun Luofeng.
Yun Luofeng accepted the invitation as her cold eyes peered at Lin You with a trace of derision. "This is the invitation sent by your Ji Family. I wonder whether the words of the Family Head of the Ji Family or your order holds more weight in this competition?"
Lin You closed his eyes for a second, and his face darkened instantly. He did not expect Yun Luofeng to embarrass him on the spot.
"Yun Luofeng, I am in charge of this Physicians Competition. Whether you can obtain the Soul Fruit must also be decided by me. If you kneel down and beg me right now, I will let you off. Otherwise..." Lin You's eyes turned into slits, a cold light flashing through his eyes.
"Move over!" Seeing Lin You this impolite, Qingyan's face chilled and blocked in front of Yun Luofeng with her sword out.
"I'm speaking with your master. Why is a little girl like you butting in! Get lost!" Lin You impatiently frowned, his tone biting ice.
Qingyan's face turned cold and wanted to use the sword in her hand to stop the approaching Lin You, not allowing him to take a single step toward Yun Luofeng.
Yun Luofeng stood behind Qingyan with an evil smile bursting from her dark eyes and a beautiful smile on her lips.
At this time, a man's voice traveled from behind the crowd. The voice was numbing to the bones and pleasing to the ears. "I heard that every entrant of the Physicians Competition was decided by the Family Head of the Ji Family. No one has the right to modify the list without permission! Who gave you the guts to overstep your authority?"
Behind the restless crowd, a long, vermillion robe crashed into everyone's sight. It was an otherworldly beautiful man.
How beautiful was he? Even the most stunning rose could not compare to him.
His red robe and his waterfall hair fluttered in the wind, his red alluring lips were slightly turned up, sending everyone into a craze with a smile. Especially the red dot between the man's brows, it was brilliantly red, complementing his seductive demeanor to its pinnacle.
Yun Luofeng looked up at the man ambling over, shock flashing through her eyes.
This was her first time seeing such a beautiful man since she was born. However, compared to the man's alluring beauty, she preferred Yun Xiao's coldness and loyalty.
Hence, her shock was gone as fast as lightning, and her eyes recovered their calm, devoid of ripples.
"Who are you?" Lin You's face darkened. "This is our Ji Family's business and has nothing to do with you!"
Somewhere hidden, Tian Luo heard his words and disdainfully snorted.
No one could compare to his master's position in the Ji Family! How ridiculous that he actually dared to inquire who Master was? And claimed Master had no right to meddle in other people's business?

Chapter 1138:- The Unruly and Domineering Ji Jiutian (2)
It was true that Lin You did not have the right to meet his lord with his abilities...
"You aren't worthy of knowing this lord's identity!" The man's long and narrow eyes swept toward Lin You, his voice cold and heartless. His face was dark, and his gaze was so chilly that it made people's heart tremble.
Lin You shuddered from his fright. He did not have the guts to meet the man's gaze. It was as though this man was like a demon from hell, and looking at him would send him into eternal damnation.
"Just wait and see!" His eyes dimmed as he snorted with a flick of his robes. "I don't have to right to reject you indeed, but I make the decisions for the Soul Fruit. If I don't hand it to you, then you can't obtain it!"
Saying his piece, Lin You harshly flung his robes and turned around and left in a rage, akin to a tornado.
The man narrowed his eyes, coldly watching Lin You's departing figure with a mocking smile on his lips.
"When dealing with a rabid dog like this, rather than allowing him to bite you, it would be better to beat him to death." The man appeared to be speaking to both Yun Luofeng and himself.
Yun Luofeng glanced at the seductive man beside her. "I'm not a rabid dog, so I won't bite a rabid dog back. Anyways, tussling with a rabid dog would only cause harm to you."
The man's gaze finally set on Yun Luofeng. He gently stroked his snow-white chin as his unruly eyes intensely watched the girl standing in front of him. "Aren't you angered by his treatment just now?"
Yun Luofeng shrugged. "You said he was a rabid dog. As a human, how could I quarrel with a rabid dog?"
"Oh?" The man's brows raised, and the interest in his eyes intensified. "It looks like you have quite a good temper. This lord has underestimated you."
He originally thought that if he served Lin You on a silver platter, she certainly would not miss the chance to mercilessly teach him a lesson. He did not expect the girl to be so bighearted. He had gauged the heart of a gentleman with the scale of a petty person.
Where did the outside rumors come from? Didn't they say she was petty and never allowed herself to be wronged? She would hit whoever insulted her without a word? Who spread these rumors? How come he didn't see it?
"Ah!" As the man respected Yun Luofeng more and more, Lin You's sharp scream was heard from a nearby estate. "Where did so many gold-seeking hamsters come from? Come! Get these hamsters off of me! Help! Don't bite my ears!"
One shout came after another, it was not until those gold-seeking hamsters departed that peace was recovered.
The corner of the man's mouth twitched. "I take back what I just said."
Bighearted? If this woman had a big heart, then he would pluck his head off to let Tian Luo use it as a ball to kick!
Achoo!
Tian Luo could not resist sneezing from his spot in the shadows and rubbed his nose. He did not know why he felt his hair stand on its end all of a sudden just now...
The estate turned from its initial clamor to calmness. Lin You angrily charged out, his eyes spitting fire as he looked at Yun Luofeng. "Did you send those gold-seeking hamsters?"
Yun Luofeng's eyes shot to him. "Proof?"
"Besides you, who else would do such a wicked deed?" Lin You was murderous from his anger.
He never expected Yun Luofeng to be so treacherous. Yet, he did not manage to get any proof!

Chapter 1139:- The Unruly and Domineering Ji Jiutian (3)
"There is." Yun Luofeng seriously nodded and pointed her finger at the seductive man beside her. "Him."
The man suddenly felt like a fish bone was stuck in his throat, and he looked at Yun Luofeng with difficulty. This girl was making him the scapegoat?
"Woman, this is our first meeting, you don't need to frame me."
Although he could kill Lin You as easy as squeezing an ant, it did not mean that he was willing to be a scapegoat.
"I don't care who among you wanted to harm me, I will show you my ways!" Lin You uttered between clenched teeth as malice flashed through his eyes.
The seductive man's eyes slowly darkened. He has never been threatened like this by anyone in all his years.
"Your ways? This lord would like to experience it!" His lips turned up with an unusually eerie smile. "If you are capable, show me your way!"
The man slowly walked toward Lin You, and his torrential aura also spread out.
Under this aura akin to the ocean, Lin You was like a small boat. The man only needed to send some waves, and he would turn over!
"You..." Lin You turned pale with fear and started backing up. "You are threatening me?"
"This isn't a threat; it's a warning!" The man incorrigibly smiled. "Scram! Otherwise, this lord will send your blood splashing in the air!"
Lin You was scared witless already and did not wait for the man to say another word before stumbling away in a flash.
After he placed over a hundred meters between the man and him, he felt like his life was almost lost.
"A little fly. It nearly dirtied this lord's clothes." The man lifted his slender fingers and flicked his clothes, his furrowed features full of disgust. His expression made it seem like even the spot Lin You stood at was contaminated with germs.
Yun Luofeng's eyebrows raised as she watched the seductive man in front of her with a faint smile.
It was a while before the man turned to Yun Luofeng, his features unruly and domineering. "My name is Jiutian!"
Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her eyes. "I won't have to introduce myself. I believe you know already."
Ever since the man guessed that the gold-seeking hamsters were brought by her, she understood that man knew her identity since long ago.
Only people from Endless City knew about this. Even Lin You, who was kicked out of the Physician Tower, was not familiar with the power in her hands.
The man smiled. His smile was very beautiful and could bring kingdoms to its knees and turn people insane.
"Yun Luofeng, Tower Master of the Physician Tower, the current power-wielder in Endless City, a young girl no older than 20." Li Jiutian's lips turned up with another alluring smile. "Knowing your reputation truly can't compare to meeting you in person. This lord didn't expect you would be as shameless as the rumors!"
Yun Luofeng said with a grin. "You are no different than me. No matter how shameless I am, it can't compare to you. If you didn't accidentally reveal you knew me, who knows how long you would hide it?"
"Haha!" Ji Jiutian chuckled. "Interesting. This lord hasn't been so interested in someone for a long time."
No wonder he was the chosen heir of that guy.
"Yun Luofeng, this lord doesn't respect many people in my life. You are the second one." He smiled. "So this lord will certainly become friends with you!"
The first person he had ever respected was the strong Jue Qian from thousands of years ago!
Jue Qian, the one who had once stood at the peak of this continent but died for unknown reasons!

Chapter 1140:- The Unruly and Domineering Ji Jiutian (4)
"I will accept you as a friend." Yun Luofeng extended her hand with a wicked smile. Her dark eyes were bright and clear, so bright that it could reflect Ji Jiutian's figure.
Having one more friend meant having one more way out. Not only that but Ji Jiutian's strength was not bad and his personality did not repulse her, so why shouldn't she accept him?
Ji Jiutian grasped Yun Luofeng's hand, the smile on his face growing. "Yun Luofeng, to say the truth, you don't seem like a woman."
Yun Luofeng's brows shot up. "You also don't seem like a man."
Ji Jiutian's voice caught in his throat, and he helplessly shook his head. Would this woman be dissatisfied until she angered him to death?
Tian Luo looked at Ji Jiutian who was bested, stupefied. His cold expression also instantly cracked. For as long as he had followed his lord, he had never seen his lord be at a disadvantage. But Yun Luofeng had bested him over and over again?
Was this woman... meant to restrain his lord?
Also, anyone else who dared to speak to his lord like this would have disappeared in the world. But Yun Luofeng remained alive...
Tian Luo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and peered at this illogical scene with disbelief.
"It's your first time here, so I'm guessing you don't have a place to stay. If you don't mind, you can stay at this lord's estate."
"No need. I can find an inn." Yun Luofeng rejected Ji Jiutian's good intention with a shake of her head.
The corner of Ji Jiutian's lips turned up. "Recently, the inns don't have any spare bedrooms. You won't find a place to stay even you looked for it. Why don't you make do at my place for a few days."
It will also allow him to observe the heir of Jueqian from proximity. He wanted to see if this woman had the ability to foster Jueqian's teachings to a great height!
Yun Luofeng grew silent. It was a while before she helplessly said, "Then I can only disturb you for a few days."
Seeing the girl's helpless expression, Ji Jiutian, who had just lost against Yun Luofeng, felt his displeasure dissipate. More than that, he was more high spirited than ever before.
Tian Luo's sweat flowed profusely. For some reason, he felt like his lord had become a whole another person. If he did not follow his lord all day long, he would suspect that he had been replaced with a counterfeit...
"Miss." Qingyan cautiously pulled Yun Luofeng and vigilantly glanced at Ji Jiutian. "We just met this man and we're already following him, isn't that a bit unsafe?"
A small smile emerged on Yun Luofeng's face. "Believe me. Nothing will happen."
It was her first time meeting Ji Jiutian, but she sensed a very familiar feeling from him, even she did not know the origin of this feeling. But she knew that Ji Jiutian would not hurt her. Otherwise, she would not befriend someone she met for the first time.
Qingyan did not say anything else, but Xiao Mo's nagging voice was heard from her spirit.
"Master, don't be bewitched by beauty. This man has the looks of a seductive minx, it's obvious that he isn't a man of reputable standing. How could he compare to Yun Xiao? A naive man like Yun Xiao became extinct a long time ago. You mustn't lose the big prize while grabbing trifles."
Dark lines appeared on Yun Luofeng's forehead. Did she look like someone who discarded a lover for a dalliance?
Moreover, her heart had already been dominated by Yun Xiao, and no one else could squeeze in.
As though he heard Yun Luofeng, Xiao Mo continued to say, "You have known Yun Xiao for five, six years, but you still haven't given him a status. Even your first time happened in order to save Yun Xiao. Hence, I can't help but worry."
