Kill and Settle

Chen Ming's voice carried magical energy.

Xie Yurou was instantly startled awake, her heart filled with bitterness, knowing she had been tricked earlier and used as someone else's pawn.

Moreover, the bloody case in the city seemed to have another hidden story.

But with things having reached this point, Xie Yurou refused to show weakness, pouting her lips and saying, "You demon, even if they had grievances, why couldn't you seek justice openly and honestly? Why did you have to use fiends to kill people?"

"Don't they have any fault?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Ming was rendered speechless.

The old woman, standing beside them, tremblingly untied her bundle and held the head in front of her.

"The bloody case of 137 lives of the Gao Family were all my doing! It has nothing to do with my daughter Yinyin, nor with the True Person from the temple!"

"Immortal, a life for a life, I have nothing to say. You can take my life now and satisfy the justice in your heart."

"But I just want to ask, regarding the death of my daughter Yinyin, can you, Immortal, help me seek justice?"

As the old woman spoke, two tears of blood slid down from Yinyin's head, her eyes closed!

Xie Yurou gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know about your past matters, and besides, that was your business. What justice do you want me to seek!"

"If you hadn't run up the mountain, how would we have encountered that demon Xuan Mingzi, and how would my two disciples have been harmed!"

"Putting aside the facts, don't you have any fault at all?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman's chest tightened, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yinyin's head could no longer bear it, and the Yin Cold Qi went wild.

Chen Ming was also disgusted by this female cultivator. Looking at her radiant appearance, she was such a shameless person!

Chen Ming didn't want to listen to her words anymore. He circulated his magical energy, and a blast of Azure Wood Life and Death Gas was unleashed, once again sealing the rampant Yin Cold Qi in Yinyin's head.

If he didn't do this, the soul within the head would instantly have its consciousness wiped out by the Yin Cold Qi, completely turning into a man-eating fiend with no possibility of recovery.

Xie Yurou's mind raced, and she came up with a plan. She chanted a spell and recalled her Flying Shuttle magic tool.

"This magic tool of mine can also perform the Backlight Technique. If that old woman and the fiend truly have grievances, do you dare to enter the Backlight Method and reveal what happened before, so I can see clearly!"

Xie Yurou's method was extremely venomous!

The Backlight Technique was something she controlled herself. If the old woman and her daughter's head entered the Backlight Method, they would likely be refined to death by Xie Yurou.

At that time, regardless of the truth, there would be no evidence, and everything would depend on her words to twist black into white.

As she spoke, the Flying Shuttle in Xie Yurou's hand danced in the air, emitting streaks of yellow light that intertwined, forming a Backlight Mirror.

"Do you dare to prove your innocence!"

Xie Yurou's gaze was like lightning, filled with deterrence, as she spoke to the old woman.

The old woman could not resist and was instantly sucked into the Backlight Mirror.

Xie Yurou's movements were extremely fast. Chen Ming didn't have time to stop her. The old woman's body and soul were crushed by the Backlight Method, turning into nourishment, and her life's experiences were replayed.

Alas, the old woman died just like that. The events her family went through were exactly as she had said before.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Chen Ming said coldly.

Xie Yurou pouted, "This is just the old woman's personal observation. She didn't witness how her daughter died. The body was only found coming out of the Gao Family, but it doesn't necessarily mean the Gao Family did it! I, however, clearly saw her colluding with the Fiend to commit the bloody massacre at the Gao Family!"

"Xuan Mingzi, throw that Fiend over here too. I want to see clearly!"

Yinyin's head, although Chen Ming had sealed the eruption of Yin Cold Qi, her soul and consciousness were still clear. At this moment, she completely erupted, disregarding the damage and erosion of her soul, and activated the Yin Cold Qi, wanting to fight Xie Yurou to the death.

Chen Ming reached out and stopped the head, saying, "You are no match for her. Going there would be a futile death. Just wait!"

After speaking, he completely sealed the head and had Song Yu and Wang Xiu guard it.

"You woman, you are so cunning and shameless!"

"Throughout history, proving one's innocence is not the right path. It's better to kill her!"

Chen Ming's magic power surged, and a strand of Azure Wood Life and Death Gas materialized, condensed in the air, and exploded with a roar, transforming into thousands of faint green, needle-thin swords that shot out.

Xie Yurou did not expect Chen Ming to suddenly attack. She hastily withdrew the Backlight Technique in the air and summoned the Flying Shuttle to her side to protect herself.

In her panic, she couldn't manage her two disciples, who were instantly pierced through by the small swords formed from Azure Wood Life and Death Gas.

Their bodies and souls were immobilized by the Azure Wood Life and Death Gas. Life and death qi alternated in cycles, neither alive nor dead, unable to move.

Xie Yurou cursed angrily, "You demonic heretic, may you die a horrible death! I will summon my Fellow Disciples to have you annihilated!"

Chen Ming ignored her curses and silently chanted, blocking Xie Yurou's retreat with several strands of Azure Wood Life and Death Gas.

Having already made an enemy, how could he let her go and summon her Fellow Disciples?

Although Xie Yurou was in the Contemplation Realm, all her divine abilities were refined into the Flying Shuttle Magic Tool and the Magic Robe she wore, making her somewhat flashy but lacking substance.

Coupled with Chen Ming's tricky methods and techniques, the constant pincer attacks of Azure Wood Life and Death Gas and poisonous smoke put Xie Yurou at a disadvantage.

The Flying Shuttle and Magic Robe were corroded with pockmarks, causing Xie Yurou immense pain. But she dared not slacken and could only grit her teeth and activate them to resist Chen Ming's methods.

After fighting for a long time, Xie Yurou, relying on the protection of the Flying Shuttle and Magic Robe, was in a sorry state but suffered no significant damage herself.

However, this was Chen Ming's place of cultivation. If this dragged on, it would become disadvantageous.

Xie Yurou then conceived the idea to escape.

She glanced at her two disciples standing dumbfounded beside her, their life and death unknown, and quietly cast a magic art.

The flying shuttle and magic robe's lights connected, emitting a sound that tore through the air. She reached out and grabbed, taking the two disciples with her, and broke through Chen Ming's sorcery and divine abilities and poisonous smoke.

Chen Ming had been stalemating with her earlier, waiting for this very moment!

When those two Chayi Sect disciples were struck by the Azure Wood Life and Death Gas, Chen Ming had already secretly tampered with them.

The invisible insects, differentiated from the Red Spirit Worm, had long since burrowed into their bodies, following the Azure Wood Life and Death Gas as fine as a bull's hair.

They had been waiting for the moment Xie Yurou and the two disciples made contact to erupt immediately.

The invisible insects directly burrowed into Xie Yurou's sea of consciousness, gnawing at her divine soul.

Xie Yurou let out a scream and fell from the sky.

The magic robe on her body and the flying shuttle in her hand, without the support of magic power, instantly dimmed.

"How can I let you escape!"

Chen Ming sneered, poisonous smoke billowed behind him, and dense swarms of insects flew out, landing on Xie Yurou and her two disciples.

When the insect swarm dispersed, the traces of the three female cultivators had vanished.

Only the poisonous smoke behind Chen Ming continued to twist and writhe, emitting strange hisses.

The Red Spirit Worm was the foundation of the Hundred Thousand Eight Thousand Insects Secret Method and was not by Chen Ming's side at this moment.

Although Chen Ming himself could unleash the various divine abilities of the Red Spirit Worm, the devoured flesh and divine souls still needed to be transferred to the Red Spirit Worm, the fundamental carrier, to be converted into pure Heaven and Earth Origin Energy.

Chen Ming first hid the insect swarm in the poisonous smoke, waiting for the Red Spirit Worm pursuing the Golden Light Divine Lord to return, and then he would slowly refine them.
