"Vice Hall Master, please make your own decision regarding what comes next. Everyone present may be killed! Should anyone refuse to accept this, the Enforcement Hall disciples may be deployed at will!"

After Niu Jinzhong finished speaking, he gave Hu Donghan another indifferent glance. "You brat aren't bad! Not bad!" With that, Niu Jinzhong's figure vanished once more.

Although Niu Jinzhong had left, the words he left behind sent chills through the surrounding cultivators—

Everyone present may be killed! What did that mean? Did it mean that even they, who had merely gathered here to watch, could be killed at will? And why? Did they deserve death simply because they had come to watch?

The seven Enforcement Hall disciples kneeling on the ground vaguely guessed at some of the cause and effect.

Within the Yin Soul Sect, the matter of who would become the next generation's Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall had always been a problem. Although the current Enforcement Hall was under Soul Devourer's control, after Soul-Devouring Ancestor stepped down, there was still no answer as to where the Enforcement Hall would go. Now, nearly every Nascent Soul ancestor had their eyes on that position. Once they learned that Hu Meier had actually appeared carrying the Hall Master Token, things would become serious! Once the next Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall was decided, what would all their painstaking efforts over these years have been for?

In that case, Hu Meier would inevitably become the target of public criticism!

Those ancestors coveting the position of Enforcement Hall Master would surely exhaust every possible means to wipe Hu Meier out!

As for the Sect Law Code? It indeed restrained sect cultivators, and not weakly at that. But if one could ensure that no one discovered or noticed the attack, then what could anyone do if someone was killed? It was like how the dead Wang Linshu had once planned to let Hu Donghan die amid the Yin Souls—dead men told no tales. With no evidence whatsoever, even if someone came knocking, there was nothing to fear!

Hu Meier had lived a wandering, unsettled life since childhood, and she was exceptionally intelligent. Coupled with the information she had heard from her master, Soul-Devouring Ancestor, she had vaguely arrived at a few guesses. If these people did not die today, then amid all the rumors, her identity would inevitably be exposed. By then, the danger she faced would not be something she could bear at present.

Her crimson lips parted slightly as Hu Meier said coldly, "You people could have done anything with your idle time, yet you insisted on coming here to seek death! Enforcement Hall disciples, heed my order—today, all disciples near the Outer Affairs Hall... kill them all!"

The instant the words "kill them all" left her mouth, the surrounding Golden Core Realm cultivators who had encircled the place immediately attacked. A wave of spiritual artifacts swept out, directly razing the surrounding area to the ground! The disciples watching from nearby did not even have time to beg for mercy before every one of them was killed.

Sometimes, once one became involved in certain matters, lives were bound to be lost.

Seeing all the onlookers around them slaughtered, Hu Donghan did not so much as twitch a brow. Having lived two lives, he had long seen through the life and death of these strangers. What did their survival or death have to do with him? Moreover, Hu Donghan could already hear from Hu Meier's tone that these people had threatened her. Since that was the case, even if Hu Meier had not acted, Hu Donghan would have found a chance to make a move himself.

"What is it, little brother? Seeing so many people die at once, don't tell me you feel sorry for them? I remember, it was you who taught me how to kill people back then!" With a single order from Hu Meier, nearly a hundred disciples had been killed, yet she treated it as though it were nothing, without the slightest unusual expression. Only those who did not know Hu Meier's true nature would be deceived by her appearance; this girl was a vicious, ruthless beauty, a serpent-hearted woman who killed without batting an eye!

Hu Donghan rolled his eyes. "This counts as killing people? You killed more than this when you were little at least a dozen times, didn't you? Besides, you didn't personally make the move against these people. What are you so proud of?"

The surrounding Enforcement Hall disciples, along with Mu Zhengfeng and Mu Ming, who had survived because of their connection to Hu Donghan, were thoroughly shocked by Hu Meier and Hu Donghan's conversation!

Just now, nearly a hundred sect disciples had been executed outright! Even Enforcement Hall disciples like them, who killed people regularly, felt their scalps go numb doing something like this. Yet this pair of siblings could discuss the matter with perfectly normal expressions, as though they thought too few had been killed?

And the amount of information revealed in their conversation was simply too staggering! Hu Meier had personally killed so many people when she was young? What exactly did this pair of siblings' Household do to raise two such freaks? And judging from Hu Meier's words, the one who had taught her to kill was actually her plain-looking younger brother...

By this point, Mu Zhengfeng had already been scared out of his wits.

Wang Linshu had been tortured by the Soul-Seeking Technique before his soul was taken away, while so many people around them had died because of this. Mu Zhengfeng was truly terrified now, truly afraid. He was still wondering what he had done all this for! In the end, had it not all been so he could establish his authority among the outer disciples and get along better in the Yin Soul Sect? But now? He could practically foresee his own fate.

Having his soul scatter and spirit dissipate would probably be considered a light punishment. If his soul was not extracted and stripped, then tortured for a hundred years or so, the Enforcement Hall disciples around him would likely not be satisfied!

At present, if he wanted to survive, perhaps his only option was to find a way to escape the Yin Soul Sect first.

But there were so many people around him, all stronger than he was. As a mere Qi Refining First Layer rookie, how could he possibly escape? Perhaps only by taking a hostage and threatening them would he have a sliver of hope!

A hostage? Among these people, only Hu Donghan was weaker than him. And Hu Donghan was this woman's younger brother. If he could seize him, he could surely make Hu Meier hesitate like a rat afraid to smash the vase. If he could use this to escape the Yin Soul Sect, he could even kill Hu Donghan along the way and vent the hatred in his heart!

The moment Mu Zhengfeng thought of this, he did not know where he found the strength, but he leaped directly in front of Hu Donghan. He pulled out a sword from his storage ring, pointed it at Hu Donghan, and shouted, "Make them stop... Ah!"

Before Mu Zhengfeng's longsword could even touch Hu Donghan, the Enforcement Hall disciples around him immediately used spells to bind him—well, his idea was not bad, but did he not consider how the people around him could possibly stand by and watch him seize someone? Before a group of people with cultivation higher than his, he still dared to strut about so arrogantly, hopping and leaping as he tried to capture Hu Donghan. This fellow's intelligence truly left people anxious.

After Mu Zhengfeng was bound, he was frightened into shrieking. He cried out to Mu Ming, "Brother Mu Ming, save me, save me! You have to save me! We're both from the Mu Household, you have to save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

"Idiot!"

Mu Ming cursed again in his heart.
