69: Chapter 69 The Wise and Martial Lord Shen!

"The Young Miss has arrived! Everyone, get out of the way!"

"I'll let it slide this time... Next time, say it to my face!"

"..."

Unlike her previous appearance, the Pei Lingshu before them was not carrying that longsword, and her robes had changed into training attire.

There were no ornaments on her entire body, and even her aura was not as sharp as when she was a Sword Cultivator.

Instead, she possessed the demeanor of a Grandmaster who moved with ease and stood like an abyss...

She lowered her eyes and glanced at Shen Yi.

Then, she looked at Huo Liangyu with a smile that wasn't quite a smile!

Huo Liangyu's heart tightened involuntarily.

"Why is she looking at me?"

"Did I offend her?"

Seeing this, Young Master Huo Chen's pupils were filled with fear...

"Killed... such a Third-Rank Martial Artist, just like that... killed?"

"This woman... who exactly is she?"

He was flustered at this moment, swallowing his saliva, and said with difficulty.

"This Senior... I am a Disciple of the Huo Family!"

Pei Lingshu stood with her hands behind her back. Upon hearing this, she couldn't even be bothered to glance at this playboy.

Instead, she looked at the massive pillar of light with great interest!

Her expression was calm...

Sure enough, following the violent death of the Third-Rank Martial Artist, a violent fluctuation suddenly came from within the pillar of light!

Then... came a roar like a thunderclap!

"Who... dares to kill my Huo Family's Huo Family Guard!"

Streaks of light flickered and flashed... amid the dense flowing light, several figures appeared before everyone in an instant!

The leading old man... had a withered face and a gloomy expression.

His aura was slightly decaying, but it was also steadily at the Third-Rank Realm!

That is how it is for a Martial Artist; if one cannot break through the Realm, one will gradually age as time passes.

Youth is gone, and Qi and blood dry up...!

The old man's turbid eyes looked left and right, then his gaze fixed on Pei Lingshu!

A look of suspicion suddenly appeared in his eyes...

He discovered, to his surprise, that he could not see through the woman before him!

However, he refused to lose face even if he lost the battle, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency... why did you kill my Huo Family Martial Artist?"

"Are you trying to make an enemy of my Huo Family?"

Pei Lingshu was similarly too lazy to speak, only looking at the golden teleportation formation... After a long while, she still didn't see anyone appear.

She slowly rolled up her sleeves.

She asked with a smile.

"Is there no one else?"

The old man's face was gloomy, and he took a deep breath and said.

"Your Excellency... you are being presumptuous. In Pingyang Prefecture, no one has ever dared to speak to my Huo Family like that!"

Before the words faded... Pei Lingshu's figure was light, leaping away.

Like a butterfly.

Her slender fingers slowly closed, and on the fist edge, strands of Sword Intent permeated... but what she unleashed was a fist technique!

The fist technique was bold and unconstrained.

The air trembled, yellow sand swept up... in the sky, it actually formed a huge vortex!

One punch fell... the world roared.

A sonic boom suddenly sounded in the air!

Between heaven and earth, it seemed to still... then suddenly collapsed!

Several figures died violently in an instant.

On that golden armor, only fist marks were left!

"Fist-Heart Sword... you... who are you!!"

The old man let out a roar... knowing it was time to fight for his life, Qi and blood surged from the bottom of his heart.

His loose skin suddenly filled out, blasts of gale wind... he swung heavy fists toward the sky!

He kept roaring from his mouth.

"I am a direct Elder of the Huo Family, a Third-Rank noble family personally enfeoffed by the imperial court... you dare to kill me... you actually dare to kill me?"

But Pei Lingshu showed a sneer on her face.

With a flick of her sleeve, she slapped down with her palm.

The old man only felt his internal organs shift, and he vomited blood continuously.

His eyes were filled with horror.

"How is it possible... the threshold of the Ultimate Dao"

Pei Lingshu's expression remained normal, and she said slowly.

"I don't like killing usually... it's just that you, old thing, are a bit unlucky."

"Today... I am a bit unhappy!"

After speaking, the old man's Physical Body was thrown into the air like a ball. In the eyes of everyone, they could not see the person, only the old man's Physical Body being continuously slapped and kicked by an invisible shadow!

Until with a bang... it turned into a mist of blood.

It was as if not even a corpse remained... leaving only a rain of blood!

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and Shen Yi's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

This wife of his was a bit excessively strange.

With this kind of strength... how could she fall into such a state?

If Shen Yi only felt a slight chill... then Huo Liangyu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar!

She only felt a cold aura lingering around her... suddenly remembering what Shen Yi had said earlier.

"Married..."

"Married..."

"Could this woman be..."

Amidst the blood mist, that white-clad figure remained untainted by the mundane world, stretched, and looked at the two with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

She dissipated directly into the heaven and earth.

Leaving only a soft, weak warning that rang in Shen Yi's ears.

"'Young Miss, please conduct yourself with dignity,' is that it?"

Shen Yi's mouth twitched...

Bad.

...

On the field.

The Rakshasa Guard faced no more obstacles and killed all the enemies on the spot!

It was extremely cruel.

And Young Master Huo Chen, who had been full of hope in his eyes, took only the time of an incense stick to fall into despair.

At this moment, he stood blankly in place... waiting for the arrival of fate!

Seeing this, Shen Yi ordered his men to start skinning.

Of course, the skinning here referred to the armor and weapons on these golden soldiers.

Goodness, this Third-Rank noble family was indeed wealthy and imposing, actually possessing Second-Rank armor!

Counting them up, there were exactly ten sets of armor here!

It was an unexpected joy!

He sent men to search Young Master Huo Chen, found a ring, quietly tucked it into his bosom, and coughed.

"Miss Huo... these are left to you!"

Huo Liangyu's eyelid twitched, watching the Rakshasa Guard like bandits entering a village, continuously looting, wishing they could dig three feet into the ground!

She was quite resentful in her heart...

The treasury she had conquered earlier, although it had some grain, was mediocre in value.

But there was no help for it; they had chosen to split their forces into two paths, and her troops couldn't keep up with Shen Yi, so she could only eat what was left by others.

This had been agreed upon beforehand.

As for threatening with the Huo Family... it was better not to make such jokes.

That woman earlier... was too terrifying.

Her eyes were filled with helplessness, watching boxes of medicinal herbs, spiritual grain, weapons, armor, and even Ore being dragged out into public view!

Watching horses being hitched to carriages, loaded to the brim.

She was somewhat envious in her heart...

However... she had to speak up.

"Everything else can be given to Lord Shen... even the money lost from the treasury, I can forgo entirely!"

"But Lord Shen... that Second-Rank Heavenly Treasure, can you return it to me?"

Seeing this, Shen Yi had a blank expression.

"What Second-Rank treasure? Why am I unaware of it?"

Huo Liangyu took a deep breath, obviously also choked with anger by Shen Yi's denial.

She said in a deep voice.

"Lord Shen... that Second-Rank treasure, its value to you might be measurable, but to me, it is not!"

"I can only rely on this item to become stronger and gain the Old Ancestor's recognition."

Seeing Shen Yi unmoved, Huo Liangyu gritted her teeth and said.

"I will offer a Heavenly Treasure of the same Rank in the future..."

"..."

"Plus ten thousand copper coins."

"Deal..."

Shen Yi took out the ring, roughly broke the Restriction within, and took out the treasure inside.

He threw it to Huo Liangyu.

He chuckled.

"Lord Huo, you should have said so earlier... isn't this just the floodwater washing into the Dragon King's temple?"

Huo Liangyu was also stunned.

"Lord Shen... you really are..."

"What?"

"Brilliant and valiant."

"You joke."
