Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

Chapter 333 Reunion in the Ruins

Lu Lingxi flew with Youming for about an hour before finally arriving at Guiyun City. However, everywhere she looked, there was only the desolate scene left by the war: broken walls and scorched earth. The once bustling streets were now empty. Her heart was deeply pierced by the scene before her, and an indescribable sorrow welled up in her heart.

As Lu Lingxi walked through the streets that were completely destroyed, she saw that the once-familiar Shengyuan Auction House was now nothing but ruins, and a sense of loss and change welled up in her heart.

“Master…” Youming spoke cautiously, because of the contract, he was deeply moved by Lu Lingxi’s grief.

Lu Lingxi did not respond, but continued walking forward. Her goal was the Lu Ling family mansion. Even if it was just ruins, she wanted to see it with her own eyes.

The closer Lu Lingxi got to Lu Ling's house, the heavier Lu Lingxi's heart became. There was still a faint smell of blood and a nauseating burnt smell in the air, the traces left by the burning of wood and flesh. Her steps quickened, and she almost ran.

Finally, she saw the familiar ruins. The once magnificent Lu Ling family mansion was now nothing but scattered charred wood and broken tiles.

Lu Lingxi could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. She knelt down in front of the ruins, her hands trembling as she touched the cold stones, trying to find a trace of familiar warmth in them.

“Brother…” she choked out, her voice hoarse and desperate.

Youming stood quietly to the side, not saying a word. At this moment, what Lu Lingxi Yao needed was not comfort, but venting.

Lu Lingxi searched through the ruins, hoping to find some familiar objects, even if it was just a broken jade pendant or a tattered piece of clothing. However, apart from scorched earth and rubble, she found nothing.

She sat helplessly on the ground, letting her tears flow freely. Her heart was filled with only sorrow and despair. After a long while, she slowly stood up, her eyes empty and numb.

"The Abyss..."

She spat out those two words fiercely, her eyes filled with deep-seated hatred. She was very familiar with the lingering aura on the ruins; all of this was inextricably linked to the Black Abyss.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, and blood slowly flowed out, but she was completely unaware of it. "I will definitely wipe you out and bring peace back to the world."

Youming silently walked to Lu Lingxi Yao's side and gently rubbed his little head against her arm, as if trying to comfort her.

Lu Lingxi lowered her head, looking at Youming with a hint of tenderness in her eyes. She reached out and gently stroked Youming's head, whispering, "Don't worry! I won't act impulsively."

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath, suppressing the surging hatred in her heart. She looked around, hoping to find a clue. Suddenly, she heard a faint cry coming from not far away.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a ragged little boy running and stumbling along. Behind him, an undead soldier wielding a bone knife and exuding black energy was in hot pursuit. The little boy was clearly exhausted and stumbled and fell to the ground, about to be caught by the undead soldier.

"Stop!" Lu Lingxi shouted angrily, her figure flashed, and she instantly appeared in front of the little boy. The Azure Dragon Sword was drawn, and a sharp sword aura slashed straight at the undead soldier.

The undead soldier clearly hadn't expected anyone to appear suddenly. Caught off guard, he was struck by the sword energy, letting out a shrill scream before turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating into the air.

Lu Lingxi sheathed her sword, bent down to help the little boy up, and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

The little boy, still shaken, stared wide-eyed at Lu Lingxi, his eyes filled with gratitude. He shook his head and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you for saving my life, sister."

Lu Lingxi gently patted his head and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's all over now." She took out a clean piece of clothing from her Kunlun Ring and draped it over the little boy, then took out a piece of pastry and handed it to him, "Are you hungry? Have something to eat."

The little boy took the pastry and wolfed it down; he was clearly starving.

Lu Lingxi looked at him, feeling a pang of sorrow in her heart. These heartless Black Abyss people didn't even spare children.

Just then, a slightly wary voice came from behind: "Who are you?"

Lu Lingxi's heart skipped a beat. That voice... She turned around abruptly and saw a familiar figure standing not far away.

He was a tall and upright young man, whose features resembled those of Lu Lingguihong. However, compared to his slightly immature older brother in his memory, the man in front of him appeared much more mature.

"Brother?" Lu Lingxi's voice trembled slightly as she tentatively called out.

The young man's body stiffened, and his previously wary eyes instantly became excited. He carefully examined the woman in front of him, as if trying to find the shadow of his sister from his memories in her slightly mature face.

"Yao Yao?" Lu Lingguihong called out this long-lost name with a tone of surprise and disbelief.

“Brother!” Lu Lingxiyao walked quickly to Lu Lingguihong, hugged him tightly, her voice choked with sobs.

Lu Lingguihong was startled when Lu Lingxiyao suddenly hugged him. Only when he heard the familiar "brother" in his ear did he realize that his sister had really returned. He happily hugged Lu Lingxiyao back, "Yaoyao, you're back!"

Once they confirmed each other's identities, the brother and sister could no longer contain their excitement and sorrow, and they embraced and wept.

After a long while, the two slowly separated. Lu Lingxi wiped away her tears and took Lu Lingguihong into the Kunlun Ring.

Upon entering Kunlun Ring, Lu Lingguihong saw Lu Lingyuntian sitting by the spiritual spring, looking at them with a kind expression.

"Grandpa!" Lu Lingguihong exclaimed, quickly stepping forward and kneeling before Lu Lingyuntian. "Your unfilial grandson has caused you so much suffering!"

Lu Lingyun quickly helped him up, her eyes filled with tears, "I'm so glad you're alright!"

The three of them wept bitterly again, recounting their experiences and their longing for each other.

After they had calmed down, Lu Lingguihong told Lu Lingxiyao and Lu Lingyuntian in detail what had happened in Guiyun City and the situation on the Holy Spirit Continent.

It turned out that three days ago, Guiyun City was suddenly attacked by undead soldiers led by men in black. These undead soldiers were numerous, powerful, and fearless, and the defenders of Guiyun City were simply unable to resist them.

In order to protect the people in the city, the city lord led a team of spiritual cultivators and martial cultivators with high cultivation levels to fight desperately, but in the end they were outnumbered and defeated.

In order to preserve as much manpower as possible, the city lord made a decisive decision to arrange a team to escort the women, children and the elderly in the city to Yanjing as quickly as possible.

However, even though action was taken immediately, many civilians were unable to evacuate in time and were brutally killed by the undead soldiers, their souls drained and they turned into walking corpses.

After settling the Lu family members in Yanjing City, Lu Lingguihong was worried about the situation in Guiyun City, so he volunteered to come and investigate.

After some investigation, he learned that this massacre was actually ordered by the Holy Maiden of the Black Abyss, and that the target was the Lu Ling clan, especially Lu Ling Guihong.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao immediately thought of Lu Ling Qingyue. She told Lu Ling Guihong about Lu Ling Qingyue joining the Black Abyss and becoming the Black Abyss Saintess, as well as her previous experiences in the Netherworld Continent.

Upon learning that Lu Lingqingyue had betrayed her family, sided with the Black Abyss, and even harmed her own relatives, Lu Lingguihong was enraged and wished he could tear her to pieces immediately.

What pained him even more was that his grandfather, Lu Lingyuntian, who had successfully escaped, was captured by Lu Lingqingyue and handed over to Heiyuan.

"This wretched child! I must personally cleanse this family!" Lu Lingguihong said through gritted teeth.
