In the sky, a mist of blood appeared.
The body of that elder had completely vanished.
Another elder who was loyal to Qin Yao saw this and turned ashen, turning to flee.
Ye Ming casually waved his hand, sending out a Sword Qi.
With a loud ’bang’, the other’s fate was the same as the former’s, turning into a cloud of blood mist, vaporizing into the air.
Such King Yama-like methods filled Qin Yao with deep fear. He did not dare to look into Ye Ming’s eyes. Hanging his head and shaking, he pleaded, "Mr. Ye, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life!"
Ye Ming looked down at him from on high, his tone ice-cold as he said, "No mercy."
From the beginning, Qin Yao had no intention of sparing Ye Ming, and now, naturally, Ye Ming would not let him go. His death was certain.
After speaking, Ye Ming placed his hand on top of Qin Yao’s head and began infusing True Qi.
Qin Yao let out a painful scream, his eyes bursting with fresh red blood vessels.
The piercing pain made his whole body tremble as if he was in the depths of hell.
A moment later, a loud ’bang’ resonated, and a cloud of blood burst from the top of Qin Yao’s head, accompanied by a rich stench of blood that was nauseating.
Qin Yao’s head exploded instantly, and the other two followers of his had also become debris, leaving the scene in shambles.
The Wanhua Valley disciples watching the fight all knelt down and begged for mercy, ceasing their resistance. The remaining two Wanhua Valley elders who had turned to betray at the battle also knelt on one knee, pleading, "Please show mercy, young hero! Spare our lives!"
They were the last elders of Wanhua Valley. Ye Ming, considering that they hadn’t attacked him just now, decided not to take issue with them.
He turned his gaze to Zhang Lingfeng and said indifferently, "Old senior, the handling of these remaining people, I’ll leave to you."
If he continued to kill, Wanhua Valley would truly be eradicated by him.
Moved by the fact that Zhang Lingfeng had lent him an Elixir earlier, Ye Ming decided to hand over the current matter to Zhang Lingfeng.
Zhang Lingfeng bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Ye, for giving this old man face."
Then, his face changed, and looking coldly at the Wanhua Valley crowd, he said, "You were led astray earlier, misled by that guy Qin Yao onto an evil path. However, since there is still goodness in you, I decide to give you a chance to serve Wanhua Valley in the future!"
He returned to the Alchemy Room, took out a jar of Elixir, and placed it in front of everyone, saying, "If you wish to stay in Wanhua Valley, take this Elixir. From now on, as long as you obediently follow my orders, I can assure you won’t die. But if any evil thoughts arise, this Elixir will immediately take your lives!"
"It’s up to you to choose!"
They looked at each other and quickly made a decision, kneeling in gratitude, "Thank you, Patriarch, for your forgiveness!"
They hurriedly swallowed the Elixirs to show their determination.
Compared to the cruel methods of Qin Yao, the approach of Zhang Lingfeng was completely unexpected and made them wholeheartedly want to follow him.
Zhang Lingfeng said indifferently, "Alright, you all may leave now. Clean up the trash left in the valley. From today onwards, no one is to practice the art of Human Puppetry!"
After a chorus of affirmations, they all dispersed.
After dealing with these matters, Zhang Lingfeng bowed to Ye Ming with a smile and said, "Little Friend Ye, it’s really thanks to your assistance that our Wanhua Valley was able to solve this crisis and overcome the difficulty. We owe you a favor!"
Ye Ming waved his hand, unconcerned, and said, "Old senior, it was a trivial effort on my part. However, there is one more favor I would ask of you!"
Zhang Lingfeng asked anxiously, "Little Friend Ye, what do you need? Just tell me, don’t be shy!"
Ye Ming looked towards Lin Mengdie, lying on the ground, and said, "I have more important matters to attend to next, Miss Lin, and I would like to entrust her to your care."
Although Ye Ming desperately wanted to stay and take care of Lin Mengdie and help her through her tribulation, he simply didn’t have the time.
The sensation in his heart was already very strong, and he knew Xu Lele was in dire straits at this moment.
He also knew that the Defensive Array he had set up at home had been seriously damaged, and Lin Bingqing was in danger as well.
They were in great need of him.
Therefore, he could do nothing but leave Lin Mengdie in the temporary care of Wanhua Valley.
"Brother Ye, rest assured that I will do my best to take care of her," Zhang Lingfeng said earnestly, "Although with our strength we cannot save Miss Lin’s life, fortunately we have many Elixirs in the valley that can keep her alive for now!"
Zhang Lingfeng had witnessed Lin Mengdie’s actions earlier and was quite moved by them.
He could not believe that such a frail woman would be willing to give her life to Ye Ming at such a critical moment, without a second thought.
Therefore, he would definitely keep Lin Mengdie alive, even if it meant using up all of Wanhua Valley’s Elixirs.
Ye Ming clasped his hands in gratitude and did not say much more.
Before departing, his gaze lingered on Lin Mengdie, imprinting her image firmly in his mind.
"Miss Lin, your kindness is unforgettable. Once my matters are settled, I will surely save you!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
In an instant, Ye Ming’s figure had vanished within Wanhua Valley.
His form darted through the forest with such speed that it was impossible for the naked eye to follow.
"Lele, Bingqing, you must hold on, you must wait for me to return!"
"I will protect you both properly, and those who hurt you will pay a blood price!"
He chose the shortest route, forgoing any means of transport, relying solely on his legs as he headed in the direction of Yanjing.
...
Meanwhile, in various cities within Dragon Country, there was rampant speculation about the miraculous phenomenon that had just occurred.
In Yanjing, Jiangnan, Chuzhou, countless strong individuals turned their eyes towards the direction of Jiangbei, revealing complex expressions.
Those four heavenly thunders had caused immense shock,
"Four heavenly thunders, what exactly is going on? Could it be that the heavens are throwing a fit?"
"A natural wonder, rarely seen in a hundred years, and in such a short span, so many strong individuals have emerged, attracting seven heavenly decrees. What in the world is happening in Jiangbei?"
"Which hidden sect could have nurtured so many powerful individuals? But it seems they must have suffered heavy losses now, their painstakingly trained experts all destroyed by the heavenly decrees, what a pity!"
"I don’t think this is about seven experts appearing. How could so many masters suddenly emerge in the world? I surmise it must be one person, advancing seven times!"
"Who could attract seven heavenly decrees? Who could this person be? Could it be that a second Chu Heng is about to emerge? No... Chu Heng didn’t perform such feats back then!"
