134: Infamy for all eternity

"Husband, aaaaaah—"

Witnessing Ren Tianxing die right before her eyes, and dying so simply, Lu Qinghuan immediately let out a shrill wail.

"Why? Why did you kill my husband!"

"Shen Lian! You despicable villain, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

"bitch, shut your mouth!"

Shen Lian stepped forward and stomped directly onto Lu Qinghuan's face.

"Seeing the person you love most die right before your eyes—isn't it desperate? Isn't it helpless?"

"Do you remember the methods you used to torture me back then? You bitch, you took the kindness I showed you as something you were entitled to, yet you never gave anything in return. Let me ask you this: how are you any different from a beast?"

Lu Qinghuan struggled to rise, but helpless under the pressure of the Positive and Negative Polar Formation, her body felt as heavy as ten thousand jun. Let alone rising, even turning her head had become extremely difficult.

"Is it painful? That's good. I'm just letting you experience firsthand how it felt when you used the Mountain Moving Art to pin me under a mountain for seven days and six nights. I remember begging you constantly back then, but did you ever respond?"

"Only by letting you experience this despair firsthand can you understand how beastly your actions were back then!"

"Shen Lian is a man who seeks revenge for the slightest grievance. I considered myself to have done everything I could for you bitches, but you—how did you act?"

Lu Qinghuan gritted her teeth, her complexion turning a leaden blue, whether due to the influence of the Formation or the pressure of his foot.

Finally, she replied intermittently: "Who told you to defy Ye Fan back then? If not for that, why would I have treated you this way? If you had just calmly taken your own life back then, wouldn't all the trouble that followed have been avoided?"

"Shen Lian, why do you refuse to die? If you had died sooner, wouldn't everything have been resolved? Why must you keep living in this world?"

"Why, why can't you just fulfill our wishes? If you died, Ye Fan could successfully become the hope of the Heavenly Feather Sect, and Old Ancestor Tianyu wouldn't force us anymore. But why do you refuse to die! Why? Go die, hurry up and die!"

A crazed face, possessed eyes.

Lu Qinghuan was simply evil; from beginning to end, she did not know what a conscience was.

Her torture and persecution of Shen Lian were mostly from the heart; she only used Old Ancestor Tianyu's name to anesthetize herself into believing she had no choice, nothing more.

Even now, having fallen to this state, she still had no heart of repentance; all she had was a deep-seated hatred for Shen Lian's ability to turn the tables.

"Very well!"

Shen Lian's eyes turned cold upon hearing this.

"I was truly afraid you might say words of regret, leaving me unable to kill you to my heart's content."

"Yes, maintain this unrepentant posture. Only then can I kill you without any distractions. The humiliations and injuries you have inflicted upon me over these hundreds of years will all be settled today."

Having finished speaking, Shen Lian's eyes boiled with killing intent.

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do to me!"

"A bitch with a heart as venomous as a snake and scorpion like you deserves to die in a way that leaves you in infamy forever!"

Seeing Shen Lian flick his hand, the Innate Sword Bone immediately flew back into his grip.

The moment the sword tip touched Lu Qinghuan's abdomen...

"No—"

A shrill scream rang out in the ruins of the Flower Language Sect.

"Ah, that is..."

The bloody and cruel scene was just witnessed by Lin Yu and the Zither Maiden, who had arrived just in time.

"Ugh."

Even though the two had experienced countless schemes and life-and-death situations, they could not help but retch upon seeing Shen Lian's methods.

"That, that..."

The hand in which Lin Yu held his fan could not help but tremble at this moment.

Behind him, the Zither Maiden spoke: "Sect Master, we should leave. This place is not suitable..."

Her delicate body was also trembling incessantly at this moment.

What kind of deep hatred existed between that Cultivator and Lu Qinghuan that required such cruel methods of punishment and torture?

Unexpectedly, Lin Yu gave a bitter smile: "We cannot leave."

Zither Maiden: "What do you mean?"

"Try to see if you can lift your feet now."

Hearing this, the Zither Maiden instinctively tried to lift her leg, but it was as if she had taken root in the ground; she could not lift it even a fraction.

"How can this be?"

"Do not move recklessly."

After the initial shock, Lin Yu was the first to calm down.

"Once he discovers us, I don't know if we can survive. Therefore, the best way is to stay put."

"Then we are just going to watch him..."

"Does Lu Qinghuan's life or death have anything to do with you and me, or the Haoyang Sect?"

"No."

"Then that is correct. As long as we do not disturb our opponent, you and I should be safe."

Hearing this, the Zither Maiden did not speak again; she simply closed her eyes, no longer watching the execution process opposite them...

For three consecutive days, Lu Qinghuan spent her time in extremely painful wails.

From the initial curses and insults, to heart-wrenching pleas and admissions of guilt.

But in the end, at the very moment the first sun of the fourth day rose, she ended her life forever.

"That's the third one."

Looking at the new remnant soul inside the human emperor cauldron, he murmured softly.

Only then did Shen Lian slowly rise, gently shaking his Folding Fan, and snorted coldly: "You two have accompanied me for three days, aren't you tired?"

As soon as his voice fell, Lin Yu and the Zither Maiden immediately appeared and stood before Shen Lian.

"Fellow Daoist, we were just passing by; please forgive us."

Shen Lian glanced at Lin Yu, couldn't help but frown, and snorted lightly: "To be able to accompany me here for three days without moving, your courage is indeed extraordinary."

"Ugh~"

As a result, the Zither Maiden, seeing the wretched state of Lu Qinghuan hanging from the treetop at close range, began to retch violently.

"If you cannot even handle such a small scene, how did you make it to where you are today?"

Shen Lian looked coldly at the Zither Maiden, then looked at Lin Yu: "Do you have anything else? If not, then leave."

Lin Yu was stunned: "Fellow Daoist, you intend to let us go?"

"Do you also wish to follow in her footsteps?"

"No, Fellow Daoist, do not misunderstand."

Lin Yu hurriedly explained, glanced at Lu Qinghuan's miserable state, suppressed the churning torture in his stomach, and squeezed out a smile in reply.

"It's just that I haven't seen such a tragic scene in a long time. I wonder if Fellow Daoist could tell me why you made her be hanged alive by her own intestines?"

Shen Lian's eyes narrowed: "I don't want to explain the rights and wrongs between her and me to you, because to you, this is just a stranger's story, and you cannot empathize with it. I can only say that this bitch dying in such a way is completely deserved. Being strangled by her own intestines is so that she will be infamous for ten thousand years!"

Lin Yu let out a long breath: "You are right, I indeed cannot empathize with you, Fellow Daoist. But I also know that the hatred between you and her is difficult to resolve. However, since she is already dead, this resentment should have diminished, right?"

"So, what exactly do you want to say?"

Lin Yu retracted his Feather Fan, covering half his face: "May I ask, Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to join the Haoyang Sect?"

"Haoyang Sect? Hmm! You are from the Haoyang Sect!"

"That's right, I am the Sect Master of the Haoyang Sect, Lin Yu. I sincerely invite you to join our Sect and overthrow the Empress's tyranny."

However, the next moment, the surrounding atmosphere changed instantly.

A trace of killing intent appeared at the corner of Shen Lian's mouth: "It seems the Haoyang Sect has already received news of Lin Qiuyang's death and intends to surround and kill me, right?"
