There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

Master Ye: "..."

Ah this.

He gave a dry laugh. "Actually, thinking about it suddenly, I think they might still be salvageable."

I almost forgot, Gu Xia is not someone to be trifled with now.

If you anger her, she'll beat up not just those few old guys, but the entire cultivation world without hesitation.

The Ye family head secretly glanced at the sword spirit that landed next to Gu Xia. The other party was obviously in a bad mood. The moment he caught his gaze, the smile he gave him was sinister.

Neither this person nor his sword are easy to mess with.

Gu Xia wasn't just saying that casually; she was actually quite reasonable. It would be best if she could reach a consensus with those sects peacefully, but if they stubbornly refused to agree, she wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.

Isn't it said that in the cultivation world, the strong are respected?

So now she should be qualified to have a chat with these old men, right?

Gu Xia planned to deal with them all at once this time.

"As long as you can gather them all at the Ye family, the rest is enough for me."

When it comes to deceiving people, it's natural to find someone you know to do it. Coincidentally, Patriarch Ye had a flash of inspiration and suddenly remembered something.

"It's not too difficult to trick them... no... gather them at the Ye family's residence." After all, the Ye family had caused such a commotion this time. Knowing how suspicious those old scoundrels were, he figured they must be restless by now, otherwise they wouldn't have sent people to stake out the place so early.

He told the group, "Those people are outside right now. Although there aren't many, just in case, we still need to prevent them from sending messages back and alerting the enemy."

Gu Xia blinked and met his gaze.

She gave a meaningful "oh," with a slight upward inflection at the end.

The old saying is true; experience truly pays off.

What a cunning and treacherous old fox!

Ye Suian, standing next to him, rested his chin on his hands and said "Aba aba".

The three watched as the old man and the young man exchanged a glance and then revealed a knowing smile.

Judging from Gu Xia's expression, it's obvious that someone is about to be in trouble.

"..."

hiss.

They also gasped softly and glanced in the distance.

Silently, I lit a candle for those who were still unaware.

"But before that-"

Gu Xia's smile faded, her lips flattened, and her eyes lowered. "There's one more thing I might need your help with."

Seeing her solemn expression, the head of the Ye family asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Gu Xia waved to the sword spirit beside him, "Where's the stuff?"

What?

Annihilation Sword looked up blankly, its face showing an expression that said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Gu Xia: "What happened to the equipment that the Great Demon dropped after it died?"

Oh.

Annihilation Sword didn't seem to care much. "Just throw it away."

He disposed of the demon's physical body and even absorbed the power from a wisp of the demon's remnant soul before the demon died. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes, looking completely satisfied.

The next second, Gu Xia's merciless iron fist smashed down on his head.

"You spendthrift! How can you just throw that thing away like that?" she said. "Pick it up exactly where you threw it."

"..."

Jiang Chaoxu's eyes twitched as he watched, trying to persuade her not to be so violent, "Junior Sister, you're a sword spirit after all, you should at least give him some face in public..."

He remembered that sword spirits were all quite concerned about their image, and he didn't want Gu Xia to be driven to despair by them.

Before he could finish speaking, the Annihilation Sword disappeared and then returned, carrying something from somewhere, which it angrily tossed to Gu Xia.

"Back to you!"

"...Right?" The black scythe grazed the end of his hair, and Jiang Chaoxu's heart skipped a beat. Looking at his severed hair, he slowly revealed a sinister smile. "Forget it, I might as well just kill him."

Obliteration Sword: "..."

Are these two, brother and sister, both a bit off?

Gu Xia reached out and caught the magical artifact he threw over. With a slight turn of her palm, it flashed a cold, sharp arc in front of the group.

"What are you doing?"

The Ye family head was no stranger to this thing. You should know that even in the cultivation world, it is an open secret that you can take everything that the other party has after killing them, let alone something from the demon race.

Gu Xia killed the person, so naturally the belongings belong to her.

He just didn't quite understand what this had to do with asking him for help.

Ye Suian, however, twitched his eyelashes and looked up, suddenly remembering what Gu Xia had told him under the heavenly thunder not long ago.

He thought he probably understood what his junior sister wanted to do.

As expected, Gu Xia did not answer, but instead slightly raised her hand and poured spiritual energy into the scythe she had broken.

The next second, before anyone could understand what was happening, countless white bones poured out of thin air, almost piling up as high as a small mountain. The scene of corpses scattered all over the ground was enough to make anyone's heart tremble.

Everyone was stunned into silence; for a moment, the scene was completely quiet, and no one made a sound.

Grass.

After a long pause, Ye Suian's eyes turned cold as he slowly squeezed out a few words.

"It seems that letting him die was too easy."

He initially thought Gu Xia's previous words were just an exaggeration, but he only realized that what she said was true after seeing it with his own eyes.

There are so many skeletons, you can't even count them all.

The Ye family head never expected that such a horrifying scene was sealed inside this thing.

Just looking at it sent chills down his spine, and he suddenly felt glad that he had agreed to Gu Xia's request.

If things continue like this, and we just stand by and watch, who knows if the Ye family will end up in the same situation?

He dared not think about it, nor dared he gamble.
