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

Lu Lingxi slowly turned around, walked to an empty seat on the side and sat down. Her gaze swept over Lin Chujie and she said, "Nalan Rongzhi, throw him out quickly. He's in the way here."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Rongzhi smiled and casually waved his hand. Lin Chujie's body was suspended in mid-air like a puppet on strings. His face was pale, and he was terrified, screaming loudly.

This scene shocked everyone present, especially Lü Zixuan. His eyes widened, his gaze fixed on the figure suspended in mid-air, his heart churning with turmoil, unable to calm down.

They considered themselves to be of high cultivation level, but even as Spirit Venerables, they had never seen such an easy way to manipulate others invisibly. This man's cultivation level was clearly far above theirs.

In an instant, Lü Zixuan and the others realized that their actions just now were tantamount to courting death, as they had actually provoked an existence that they could not even reach.

Nalan Rongzhi, however, kept his gaze fixed on Lu Lingxi Yao and asked softly, "Yao Yao, do you want him to die?"

Lu Lingxi Yao simply nodded slightly, "Mm!"

Because Lu Lingxi knew that Lin Chujie's vengeful nature was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows. If he were released back into the wild, he would surely bring trouble to the Lu Ling family. It was necessary to "cut the weeds and eliminate the roots" to prevent future troubles.

Nalan Rongzhi stared at Lin Chujie, who was imprisoned in the air, his eyes showing no pity, only unwavering protection for Lu Lingxi Yao.

"Of all people to mess with, you had to mess with my Yao Yao. If that's the case, then you're dead!"

"No, don't kill me! Uncle, save me!"

Lin Chujie pleaded with Lü Zixuan in terror, his voice filled with despair, but all of this seemed so pale and powerless in front of Nalan Rongzhi.

Lu Zixuan stood aside, his eyes flashing with a complex light—a reluctance to part with family, and despair at the disparity in power.

Lin Chujie—his grandson, the child who used to play at his feet—has now become an innocent pawn in this power struggle, while he himself is merely a bystander who can only watch helplessly, unable to protect him.

His fist clenched and unclenched, but in the end it just fell limply. He knew clearly that in this world where the strong are respected, any emotion seemed so fragile in the face of absolute power. Even though he felt an urge to protect his grandson, he could only bury this emotion deep in his heart and turn it into a silent sigh in the face of power that could crush everything.

Seeing no hope of help, Lin Chujie lowered his eyes in disappointment, but his body still trembled uncontrollably. Yellow liquid dripped onto the ground from his crotch, causing Nalan Rongzhi to frown in disgust.

"goodbye!"

As Nalan Rongzhi clenched his fist, a loud "bang" followed, and Lin Chujie's body vanished into nothingness before everyone's shocked eyes, leaving only a wisp of smoke drifting away in the wind, ultimately erasing even the trace of his existence.

Lu Zixuan was completely terrified by this scene. His heart was pounding wildly in his chest, his legs went weak, and his body trembled involuntarily. He knew clearly that he had offended someone he shouldn't have. His eyes darted around, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Young master... please have mercy and let us go!" After saying this, Lü Zixuan and the others tried to move away, trembling.

Before he even reached the door, Nalan Rongzhi's cold and authoritative voice rang out behind him: "Yao Yao hasn't spoken yet, who said you could leave?"

Upon hearing the sound, the group reacted as if startled birds, almost simultaneously turning back and kneeling before Nalan Rongzhi once more, barely daring to breathe, for fear that any slightest sound would invite even harsher punishment.

The air was thick with a sense of oppression until Lu Lingxi's clear, cool voice broke the deathly silence.

"Who are you? Why have you come to Lu Ling's house?"

"I am Lu Zixuan, an elder of the Guiying Sect. I have come here today to... to... to... to seek revenge!" Lu Zixuan's voice was broken and intermittent. Fear clung to him like a venomous snake, almost robbing him of his ability to speak. Finally, he managed to cobble together a complete sentence.

"Do you know Lü Ziwei?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Zixuan's heart trembled, and a glimmer of hope for life instantly ignited within him. His voice trembled slightly, each word filled with complex emotions—surprise, anticipation, and a hint of barely perceptible tension.

"Girl...you...you actually know my brother?"

Lu Lingxiyao's lips curled into a faint smile, a smile that held a hint of amusement, and her words carried a touch of provocation.

"Hmph, then do you know that Lu Lingyuntian is my grandfather?"

Lu Zixuan's face turned pale instantly, and disbelief filled his eyes, which had been full of hope. He stared wide-eyed, as if trying to find a shred of rebuttal in every subtle expression of Lu Lingxi, but in the end he could only droop helplessly and accept this sudden fact.

"In that case, do you think you can easily leave Lu Ling's residence unscathed today?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Zixuan collapsed to the ground, his limbs outstretched limply, his eyes filled with the fear of death. He almost desperately crawled to Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi, begging for his life in the most humbly manner. However, reason told him that such an action would only hasten his death.

Lu Lingxi said, "Huanyue, I'm leaving them to you."

Before Lü Zixuan could make his next move, a little husky appeared in front of them!

When Lu Lingxi Yao summoned a small dog, Lu Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, things often turn out unexpectedly. When the puppy transformed into a swift wolf, Lü Zixuan's face turned ashen, and the confidence in his eyes was replaced by terror.

"The Sacred Beast Gale Wolf! Its strength is comparable to that of a human Spirit Saint," Lu Zixuan muttered to himself.

Everyone stared in astonishment. Even in Yanjing City, it was impossible to see a sacred beast. They never expected to see one in Guiyun City today, and that it had been contracted by a girl with low cultivation.

Despite this, Lü Zixuan remained calm. With his Spirit Venerable, three Spirit Emperors, and four Spirit Kings, the combined strength of the group might not be without a fighting chance.

However, when the Gale Wolf pounced on him with lightning speed, Lü Zixuan instinctively tried to mobilize the spiritual power within his body, but was shocked to find that he was as if bound by an invisible lock, unable to gather even a trace of spiritual power, and was stunned for a moment.

The Phantom Moon was incredibly fast; its sharp claws, like the scythe of death, swung down suddenly, cleanly severing Lü Zixuan's right hand from his wrist in an instant. In excruciating pain, Lü Zixuan's face immediately turned as pale as paper.

He turned to look at Lu Lingxi Yao in astonishment, and then suddenly realized that the strange fragrance he had inadvertently inhaled earlier was the culprit that had caused him to lose all his spiritual power.

"You...you actually used poison?" Lu Zixuan asked with difficulty, his voice filled with anger.

It is important to know that on this continent that reveres righteousness and pursues pure power, there is one area that has become a taboo for both martial artists and spiritual practitioners—the use of poison.

Those who use poison are often seen as symbols of cunning and despicableness. Unlike martial artists who confront each other with fists, feet, swords, and knives, they are also different from spiritual practitioners who communicate with heaven and earth and draw upon the power of nature with pure spiritual energy.

Using poison is considered a disrespectful and sacrilegious act towards life.

Therefore, on the Holy Spirit Continent, both martial artists and spiritual cultivators hold those who use poison in utter contempt.

They believed that true strength should be earned through honest and fair combat. Those who rely on poison to win, even if they succeed temporarily, will ultimately be scorned by the world and unable to truly stand on this continent.

Lu Lingxi Yao was unimpressed by Lü Zixuan's anger. In her eyes, as long as she could achieve victory, she didn't care about using poison.

"Run!"

Although Lu Zixuan despised Lu Lingxi's use of poison, he still shouted to the people behind him, who immediately scattered in all directions in a sorry state.

"Since we're already here, it wouldn't be right not to leave something behind, would it?"

Nalan Rongzhi's voice was languid and deep, each word striking a chord in the hearts of those present, sending a chill down their spines.

As soon as the words were spoken, an invisible force seemed to surge in the air. The people who were running around suddenly seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall. With a few loud "bangs," their bodies were involuntarily bounced back, and after staggering a few steps, they fell to the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

Their faces were filled with terror and despair. Faced with this being who seemed to control the rules of the world, they had no choice but to beg for their lives.

"Please, please, let us go!"

Upon seeing this, Nalan Rongzhi's brows furrowed with impatience. He parted his thin lips and coldly uttered a few words: "Stay away from me, you filthy things."

Having said that, he lightly tapped his toes and flicked his wrist, unleashing a burst of energy that scattered the people beneath his feet, as if they were nothing more than insignificant specks of dust to him.

Just then, Huan Yue's figure moved with lightning speed, suddenly appearing in front of the group. Its eyes, gleaming with an eerie light, seemed to see into people's hearts. It opened its huge wolf mouth, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the moonlight, and devoured the group one by one. Only the shrill screams echoed in the courtyard.

"Let's go!"

Looking at the horrifying bloodstains on the ground, and the unfortunate, scattered, and neglected internal organs, Lu Lingxi felt her stomach churn and an indescribable sense of nausea welled up in her heart. She suppressed her discomfort, avoided looking at everything, and resolutely turned around, stepping towards the still relatively fresh air outside the door.

Zhi Xia had just recovered from her shock, with lingering fear in her eyes. She gently picked up Huan Yue, who had transformed into a little husky, and hurriedly followed behind Lu Ling Xi Yao.

“Miss, Miss Qingyue, she…” Zhixia’s voice was hesitant, clearly troubled by what to do with Lu Lingqingyue, who was still unconscious and disheveled.

Lu Lingxi Yao did not stop walking. She merely turned her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over Lu Ling Qingyue like ice, her tone devoid of any warmth, "No need to pay attention!"

If it weren't for Nalan Rongzhi's help, she wouldn't have been able to handle this on her own. The words almost came out of her mouth unconsciously, her voice soft but full of endless gratitude.

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Rongzhi smiled gently. He quietly approached, close enough to feel each other's breath, and then whispered in her ear in an almost whispered tone.

"Yaoyao, there's no need for such formalities between us. Your business is my business."

Nalan Rongzhi's words still echoed in Lu Lingxi's ears, but her thoughts had already drifted away. She gently shook her head, as if to dispel those turbulent emotions, and instead focused her attention on the more pressing issues.

She pondered to herself that Lin Chujie had already been killed by them, thus creating a grudge with the Lin family. In order to ensure the future safety of the Lu Ling family, she had to completely eliminate the Lin family and make them disappear from the Holy Spirit Continent.
