Chapter 337: Three hundred thirty-six, I will listen to you. Chapter 337: Three hundred thirty-six, I will listen to you. A man and a woman, two figures, slowly approached.
The man was tall and straight, with a handsome face so perfect it defied criticism, lips tightly closed, face stern, and the powerful aura emanating from his body set him off as if he were from hell itself, inspiring awe spontaneously in all those around him.
The woman’s complexion was fair as snow, her features exquisite as if painted, with not a hint of a smile in her cold, snow-like eyes, yet she carried an air of noble grace that was untouchable and authoritative.
Standing together, the two of them were very well-matched, like a delightful painting to behold.
“Who are you, and why did you want to kill my son?” The Tianji Sect Master glared furiously at Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen. He had never met these two before, nor had he offended them, so why did they target his son?
“The murder was committed by you, it has nothing to do with us,” Song Yan Ning spread her hands, an innocent expression on her face.
“Kill them!” roared the Tianji Sect Master in anger. He wanted them to pay with their lives for his son’s death.
The surrounding disciples, upon hearing the command, surged towards Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
But they hadn’t even reached the two before a powerful force sent them flying away.
The Tianji Sect Master was stunned by the scene before him. The weakest of these disciples were at the Yellow Level Middle Stage, but they couldn’t even get near these two, let alone attack them.
Coming back to his senses, the eyes of the Tianji Sect Master no longer held anger, only fear. He was no fool and could tell that these two were not individuals he could afford to provoke. Their strength was most certainly no less than Lu Tingxuan’s.
“Both of you! It was a misunderstanding, I offer my apologies. Whatever your terms may be, feel free to name them.” The Tianji Sect Master knew that if he didn’t show submission, he would be unable to protect his Tianji Sect.
Song Yan Ning glanced around, “The environment here is nice; let’s settle the score with your Tianji Sect.” She felt that her personal strength wasn’t enough; she needed to bolster her power. Once Liu Qingshan had his revenge, she would hand over the Tianji Sect to him to manage.
“Do not be too extreme!” The Tianji Sect Master said through gritted teeth as he glared at Song Yan Ning. This was the sect painstakingly established by his ancestors, how could he simply hand it over to someone else?
“You have no say in disagreeing,” said Qin Yushen, his gaze turning icy as he slowly raised his hand.
The Tianji Sect Master’s body lifted off the ground, as if being hoisted by an invisible hand, floating midair.
He felt as if his throat were being squeezed, leaving him unable to breathe. His face slowly turned red, then gradually paled.
“I… I agree…” The words the Tianji Sect Master strained to speak—he did not want to die!
All the disciples and elders of the Tianji Sect present were stunned by this scene, terror filling their eyes. What kind of power was this? Even a Heavenly Peak level master might not be capable of such a feat.
Qin Yushen did not let the Tianji Sect Master down, but instead gave a gentle squeeze. Everyone else here could be spared from death, but the Tianji Sect Master had to die. If not for him sending his son to marry Song Yanli, how could Ye Qi and Ye Shuangshuang have been injured? If it weren’t for Xiao Ning giving Song Yanli that bracelet, they might have arrived too late to see Ye Qi. Thus, this debt had to be repaid by the Tianji Sect Master.
In midair, a crisp sound of “crack!” came from the Tianji Sect Master’s throat, his neck crooked, lifeless. Until his death, he never understood who he had offended.
Qin Yushen retracted his hand, and the body of the Tianji Sect Master fell from the sky.
“Bowing to both Sect Masters!” The Great Elder approached in fear and bowed to Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen. He was truly afraid that they would slaughter everyone to the last.
Seeing this, the other disciples also hurriedly bowed, “Bowing to both Sect Masters!”
Song Yan Ning looked at the Great Elder, “What’s your position in the Tianji Sect?” Judging by his attire, he seemed to be an elder.
“I am the Great Elder; next in line after the Sect Master,” said the Great Elder, trembling with fear. Originally, there was also a Deputy Sect Master, but the Sect Master, fearing the Deputy might covet his position, secretly disposed of him.
Song Yan Ning nodded, “For the time being, you will manage the Tianji Sect. In a few days, we will send someone to take over. Let me remind you, don’t try anything clever, or else…”
Song Yan Ning swept a cold glance over the body of the Tianji Sect Master on the ground, the warning clear without words.
The Great Elder felt a coldness rising from the soles of his feet, shivering uncontrollably, “No… I will never… have a second heart…” Facing such mighty figures, harboring any deceit was akin to seeking death.
Song Yan Ning nodded in satisfaction, and together with Qin Yushen, walked towards the Tianji Sect’s treasure chamber. They had sensed a few good materials when they scanned the area with Divine Sense earlier.
Lu Tingxuan stood leisurely at the window, a faint smile on his lips as he enjoyed the view outside.
Song Yanxue walked in through the door, “Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen came back here a few days ago, taking away the Tianji Sect’s Young Master.” Today, when she called Song Yanli, she was met with scornful ridicule and learned of Song Yan Ning and Brother Yushen’s visit from a few days ago.
“Hmm,” Lu Tingxuan was not surprised by this. The only thing that caught him off guard was that they returned quicker than he had anticipated.
“What should we do now?” Song Yanxue was filled with resentment. It had been hard enough to devise this plan, and now it had failed. How much longer would she have to wait to take Brother Yushen away from Song Yan Ning?
Lu Tingxuan turned around to face Song Yanxue, “Don’t rush; there’s plenty of time ahead. As long as you follow my advice, Qin Yushen will definitely be yours.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Song Yanxue nodded vigorously. As long as she could win over Brother Yushen, she was willing to pay any price.
Ye Qi set down the phone, shaking his head. This was the nth time he had tried to call in the past three days, but with the same result each time. He couldn’t get through to Yushen or Song Yan Ning at all.
“Could something have happened to them?” Song Yanli asked worriedly. After getting verbally lashed by Song Yanxue in their recent phone call, she now slightly regretted her spur-of-the-moment disclosure about Xiao Ning and Brother Yushen taking the Tianji Sect’s Young Master.
“Definitely not,” Ye Qi said with certainty, as if giving Song Yanli an answer, but also reaffirming his own belief. Song Yan Ning was capable of giving them bracelets, so she surely had ways of protecting herself.
“Alright,” Song Yanli nodded firmly and took out her phone. She would try calling Xiao Ning again; maybe this time the call would go through. This thought had been the same for the past three days, yet each attempt ended in disappointment. However, she still wanted to try, perhaps this time it would really connect.
