Inside the Bone Sect's main hall, Sect Master Gu Qiansha sat on the black bone throne, his brows tightly furrowed.

"What did you say? Someone attacked us?"

The disciple kneeling below trembled, stammering, "Sect Master! Two people, one man and one woman, came from outside! That woman crippled Elder Yin with a single move!"

Gu Qiansha's pupils constricted, and he abruptly stood up.

"Elder Yin is a Peak Nine Star Great Dou Shi! A single move?!"

A storm instantly raged in his heart; to cripple Elder Yin with one move, she had to be at least a Dou Ling Expert!

"Damn it! When did I send someone to ambush such a powerful expert?!"

He thought back carefully. The Bone Sect had indeed sent many people out to hunt recently, but their targets were all lone merchant caravans or low-tier rogue cultivators. It was impossible for them to provoke a Dou Ling Level existence!

"Could it be some blind idiot acting on his own?!"

The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

"Boom—!"

With a loud bang, the bronze gate of the Bone Sect's main hall was directly shattered by a violent Lightning Light!

Amidst the scattering dust, two figures slowly walked in.

Gu Qiansha narrowed his eyes, his gaze instantly locking onto the red-clothed woman leading the way.

"This woman?"

He had to admit, this woman was indeed extremely beautiful, with a shapely figure. Especially her long legs, which were rare in a place like the Black-Corner Region.

But the next second, his attention was captivated by the fierce Dou Qi fluctuation emanating from her!

"This aura is definitely above mine!"

Gu Qiansha himself was only a Six-Star Dou Ling, but the Dou Qi fluctuation of the woman before him was at least an Eight-Star Dou Ling, or even higher!

"Damn it! I've kicked a steel plate!"

He instantly cast aside all distracting thoughts, a respectful smile plastered on his face. He quickly stepped forward, cupped his fists, and bowed.

"Senior! May I ask how my Bone Sect has offended you? If there has been any offense, this junior is willing to apologize!"

Red Silk coldly swept her gaze over him, her tone indifferent.

"Third Master Gu is one of your people?"

Gu Qiansha was startled, then realized, cursing inwardly.

"It really was that idiot's fault!"

He quickly explained, "Senior, please understand! Third Master Gu is indeed a member of my Bone Sect, but he acted on his own, absolutely not under my instruction!"

Red Silk sneered, "Is that so? Well, before he died, he said he was ordered by the Bone Sect to kill us."

Cold sweat poured down Gu Qiansha's forehead, and he had already cursed Third Master Gu's ancestors eighteen times in his heart.

"This damned idiot! Even in death, he drags down the sect!"

He gritted his teeth, then suddenly turned and slapped a disciple next to him, shattering his head!

"Bang!"

Blood splattered everywhere. The disciple fell to the ground dead without even a scream.

Gu Qiansha said sternly, "Senior! This person was Third Master Gu's direct subordinate. I have already executed him. Please quell your anger, Senior!"

Jiang Donghua watched dumbfounded from the side, roaring in his heart, "Holy crap! This old guy is ruthless! He kills his own people without batting an eye?!"

Red Silk, however, was completely unmoved, simply saying coldly, "Do you think killing a scapegoat will settle the matter?"

Gu Qiansha's heart sank, knowing that it would be difficult to resolve this today. He gritted his teeth and said, "Senior! I am willing to offer the Bone Sect's century-long accumulation of treasures, I only ask that you show mercy!"

As he spoke, he slammed his hand on the armrest of the throne. The floor of the main hall suddenly cracked open, revealing a hidden compartment filled with various rare medicinal herbs, high-tier Dou Technique scrolls, and gold coins.

Jiang Donghua's eyes lit up. "Good stuff!"

Red Silk glanced at it, then said indifferently, "Is that all?"

Gu Qiansha's heart trembled, and he quickly added, "There's more! There's more!"

He quickly walked to the back of the main hall, took out a dark storage ring, and respectfully handed it over.

"Senior, this is my Bone Sect's most precious treasure, the method for refining the Blood Bone Battle Armor, and two bottles of Fourth-Tier Magical Beast essence blood!"

Red Silk finally nodded slightly, reaching out to take the storage ring.

Seeing this, Gu Qiansha felt a little relieved. Just as he was about to say a few more flattering words, he heard Red Silk suddenly say, "I've taken the items, but there must be some punishment, right? If you can withstand my palm, I'll let you go."

Gu Qiansha's heart was filled with towering hatred, but he dared not show the slightest bit on his face.

"Senior's lesson is right, this junior is willing to accept the punishment!"

He lowered his head, his eyes as sinister as a poisonous snake, yet his tone was utterly respectful.

"Bitch! I, Gu Qiansha, will remember today's humiliation! When I break through to Dou Wang, I will make your life worse than death!"

Red Silk looked at him indifferently, the corners of her lips slightly curved, a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Good, then take my palm."

Before her words finished, her figure suddenly flickered, disappearing from her original spot like a ghost!

Gu Qiansha's pupils constricted, and an alarm bell rang in his heart!

He had no time to think, instinctively activating all his Dou Qi. He crossed his arms to protect his chest, and at the same time, a layer of grey-black bone armor quickly covered his entire body.

"Bone Spirit Protection!"

This was his strongest defensive Dou Technique. Even a full-power attack from a Dou Ling Expert of the same level would find it difficult to break through!

"Boom—!!!"

Red Silk's figure flashed like lightning, and she struck out with a palm. Lightning Light exploded from her palm, instantly transforming into a purple electric dragon that slammed fiercely into Gu Qiansha's defense!

"Crack!"

The bone armor instantly shattered!

"Puff—!"

Gu Qiansha spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his entire body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, heavily smashing into a stone pillar in the main hall!

"Rumble!"

The stone pillar collapsed, and dust rose everywhere!

The entire hall was dead silent!

Jiang Donghua's eyes widened, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground.

"Holy crap! Senior Sister, are you trying to kill him?!"

Red Silk stood with her palm withdrawn, her expression calm, as if she had just casually swatted away a fly.

Amidst the dust, Gu Qiansha struggled to get up, his face as pale as paper, his chest caved in. Clearly, several of his ribs were broken.

He stared intently at Red Silk, his eyes filled with shock and venomous hatred.

That palm strike from this woman just now was definitely more than an Eight-Star Dou Ling!

He had originally thought that since he was a Six-Star Dou Ling, even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't be severely injured by taking one move head-on.

But he hadn't expected that Red Silk's palm strike not only had incredibly fast footwork, but her Dou Technique was also a double overlay: first breaking his defense with Lightning Attribute Dou Qi, then shattering his internal organs with hidden force!

Red Silk looked at him and said indifferently, "Not bad, you can still stand up."

Gu Qiansha gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain, and forced out a smile uglier than a cry.

"Senior showed mercy, this junior is extremely grateful!"

Red Silk smiled, yet not quite smiled. "Oh? Do you still hate me then?"

Gu Qiansha trembled all over, quickly shaking his head. "I wouldn't dare! This junior has absolutely no resentment!"

Red Silk nodded. "Very good, then you can scram."

Gu Qiansha felt as if he had been granted a great pardon, scrambling and stumbling out, but in his heart, he roared madly.

"Bitch! I, Gu Qiansha, will remember today's humiliation! When I break through to Dou Wang, I will make your life worse than death!"

However, he had only run a few steps when Red Silk's voice came again. "Oh, I forgot to tell you."

Gu Qiansha's steps halted, and he stiffly turned his head.

Red Silk smiled slightly, her smile breathtakingly beautiful, yet it sent a chill down his spine.

"That palm strike just now, I left a trace of lightning energy in your body."

"If you don't refine it immediately, I'm afraid you'll explode and die, you know ~"

She lightly hooked her fingertip.

"Bang!"

A sudden sharp pain erupted in Gu Qiansha's body, as lightning bolts surged wildly through his meridians!

"Ah—!"

He screamed, falling to his knees, his body convulsing, blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth.

Red Silk withdrew her hand, her tone light and casual. "Now, you can go."

Gu Qiansha's face was ashen, and he finally understood that he would never be able to take revenge in this lifetime.

He trembled as he struggled to his feet, staggering out of the main hall, his back as pathetic as a dog that had lost its home.

Jiang Donghua watched this scene, couldn't help but swallow, and muttered softly, "Senior Sister, your move just now was so fast, but...?"

Red Silk glanced at him. "What, do you think I went too far?"

Jiang Donghua quickly shook his head. "No! Absolutely not! Senior Sister is eliminating a menace for the people, it's truly satisfying!"
