Chapter 17: Slander? A Special Merit!
The Sky-Piercing Spear, carrying Yunming's endless rage and determined to shoot down the sun, arrived at the scene, but the evil soul masters there had already vanished, and there wasn't even a single corpse left. The ruins and devastation on the ground showed the world the horrific cruelty of the place!
With nowhere to vent his anger, Yun Ming's temples bulged with veins, and his fists clenched tightly.
Yunming's brows relaxed slightly only after he saw Yali lying on the ground, unharmed.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Ao Rui, Brother Tian Wu, Brother Tian Dang. I, Yun Ming, owe you all a favor for what happened today. I will be hosting a banquet on Seagod Island afterwards, please be sure to come!"
"It's nothing, nothing at all. Pavilion Master Yun, this is just what our War God Temple should do..."
"Yes, our Yuanen family and Shrek Academy have always had a friendly relationship. I was just doing my duty..."
The three, whose breathing was unsteady, wanted to help Yun Ming up as he bowed, but Yun Ming stopped them, as this was a courtesy he had to perform.
Other extreme individuals also entered the scene. Apart from the father and son, their injuries were all more severe than the other, and they were able to survive almost entirely due to their powerful cultivation.
"Everyone, you have worked hard in this battle. Once Yali wakes up, I will make sure she treats you as soon as possible and helps you recover to your peak condition..."
After exchanging a few brief pleasantries with Yun Ming, they sat down on the ground and began to tend to their injuries.
Yun Ming scanned the hall, shook his head, and sighed weakly.
Now that it has happened and the outcome is already set in stone, any further lamentations from him are futile.
Just then, Su Jiu slowly stepped out from the void.
Yun Ming glanced sideways, and his heart sank at just one look.
The other party's cultivation level was completely undetectable! Their face was also extremely unfamiliar, leaving no impression whatsoever.
But he dared not be careless in the slightest. His piercing gaze and the Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand were locked on Su Jiu. His soul power was quietly tensing up, for fear that any further unforeseen events might occur.
"Who are you? State your name!"
"The Leng family, Leng Wuduan."
"Heh heh~ Yun Ming, put away your Sky-Piercing Spear. Is this how you treat your savior who saved your wife?"
Su Jiu stepped forward and flicked the Sky-Piercing Spear Blade aside with one hand, a faint smile on her face. Facing Yun Ming, she showed no sign of yielding in her aura.
"Let me put it this way, the fact that so many people here are alive, including your wife, is largely thanks to me. Every single one of those who were conscious can testify to that!"
"So, 'Lord Yun,' don't do anything that's detrimental to unity!"
"Shut up! You brat from the Leng family, you knew in advance about the soul-guided artillery attack and informed us. Who knows if you're a spy sent by the Holy Spirit Cult to gain our favor and trust, so you can infiltrate our ranks and then, at a crucial moment, launch a pincer attack on us from within?"
"In my opinion, you're just putting on a show to cover up your despicable scheme!"
Chen Xinjie did not stop Long Yeyue. He was also curious about why Leng Wuduan knew in advance that the Holy Spirit Church would attack his wedding.
As soon as Long Yeyue finished speaking, Yun Ming, who hadn't yet managed to switch from Long Yeyue's image as his master's wife, suddenly felt a surge of killing intent in his eyes.
The spear in his hand revealed its sharpness once more, pointing directly at Su Jiu's heart. The soul power at the tip of the spear pulsed erratically, as if it would pierce through his chest at any moment.
At the same time, Long Yeyue's words amused Su Jiu, and the teasing at the corner of her mouth was no longer concealed. She looked at Long Yeyue as if she were trash.
"Oh? What an ungrateful bunch! Is this how you treat your saviors? And twice at that!"
"Firstly, I'm letting you know in advance that we have a group of soul-guided artillery shells..."
"Secondly, my elder sister, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, and I together stopped the evil soul masters from seizing the Sea God's fleet..."
"But what have I gained? I've gained you, Long Yeyue, who's turned on me! You, Yun Ming, are ignorant of right and wrong, ungrateful to me, and even pointing your Sky-Piercing Spear at me!"
"I could have just left, letting you, Long Yeyue, your wife Yali, Yunming, and everyone else here die in the first bombardment of the soul-guided cannon, turning into ashes that no one could recognize."
"It seems I was just being presumptuous."
After speaking, Su Jiu raised the Flame Demon Roar, pointing the gun directly at Yun Ming's brow, and an extreme biological crisis warning rushed into Yun Ming's mind.
"Yun Ming, tell me, which gun is faster, yours or mine?"
"Young man, you're playing with fire!"
"Yun Ming! Put the gun down! If you dare to harm a single hair on my brother's head today, my Leng family will be your Yun family's sworn enemy!"
A furious shout rang out, and a fiery red figure, followed by two unconscious "Special Merit" officers, stepped into the hall.
"And you, you old codger, half-dead, all you do is spout hurtful and callous remarks. Saving you for no reason is a complete waste!"
"This is the proof: a living Dark Hummingbird and a Dark Bell. Is that enough?"
Leng Yaozhu stepped forward barehanded, ignoring the fierce intent emanating from the Sky-Piercing Spear, and pushed the spear away. A little blood immediately seeped from her palm.
Su Jiu saw this but did not stop the Flame Demon's Roar. Only by having the truth in hand could he make Yun Ming behave!
Moreover, Yun Ming will have to repay this a thousandfold in the future...
Yun Minghu's body trembled, realizing that he had acted impulsively, and he immediately put away the Sky-Piercing Spear.
He wanted to apologize, but Su Jiu stopped him.
He smiled slightly, a smile of triumph; it was time to blackmail Old Deng Yunming.
"I'm sorry, it's cold..."
"Yun Ming, I don't want to accept your apology. Since I saved Ya Li's life twice, then Ya Li's life is mine. I think you can understand what I'm saying!"
Su Jiu's words made Yun Ming's face darken on the spot. Although the other party was in the right, no one could repeatedly touch his sore spot.
"Your Excellency, don't go too far! You just want to extort benefits from me, right? I'll grant your request!"
"Four self-selected immortal herbs, each 100,000 years old!"
Su Jiu stated her conditions on the spot, which made Yun Ming's expression even more unpleasant.
"Heh~ It seems that Yun Ming, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, is all talk and no action."
"Two plants! I have..."
Su Jiu's words once again provoked Yun Ming, who immediately gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay, deal!"
"Lord Yun, I long for the Autumn Dew and the Myriad Treasures Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum. I'm only giving you seven days. If I don't see them after seven days, I will broadcast this video across the three continents. I suppose..."
After saying the first half of the sentence, Su Jiu stopped the Flame Demon Roar, took Leng Yaozhu's soft hand, and left the place with two "Special Merit" recipients trailing behind him.
"Wait, Wuduan Douluo, what do you mean by taking these two evil soul masters away?"
At this moment, Chen Xinjie stood up, his words filled with confusion. Now that a high-ranking member of the evil spirit master had been captured alive, as a federal citizen, he should voluntarily hand him over to the federal government.
"Palace Master Chen, we're all intelligent people, don't play dumb. I went to great lengths to capture this person. Do you want information about the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"Your ingratitude has shown me that you don't deserve my hard work. So, with the money in place, the people will naturally follow!"
