Chapter 627 - 623: Wariness
The Sikou Family Master spoke, "I only know she is keeping an eye on their Hall Master for her master."
"She holds a lot of power in the Bright Hall, even the Hall Master can’t do anything to her."
"That’s why she can mobilize many people in the Bright Hall to do things."
"It’s also because of knowing her strength that we really don’t dare to ignore her orders."
"If she says to destroy a family’s power, we will destroy which family’s power."
At this moment, the Sikou Family Master was still casting himself as a victim, dumping everything onto Lin Huirou.
In fact, their Sikou Family was ambitious and ruthless, and it was precisely this that Lin Huirou saw in them initially.
He killed other competitors in the family to become the Family Head.
That’s why Lin Huirou was willing to become his wife.
Though she married into the family as his wife, in reality, it was just a nominal title.
She did whatever she wanted, and they had to follow her orders to act.
Su Muyao suddenly had a suspicion in her heart and asked coldly, "Who is her master?"
The Sikou Family Master replied, "I don’t know, I only know her master is related to the Bright Hall’s Hall Master, but I don’t know the specifics."
Su Muyao continued, "Is it a female or a male?"
The Sikou Family Master replied, "It’s a female."
This time, Su Muyao had already figured it out. She suspected it was that fierce beast female who wanted to kill her but was ultimately counter-killed by Yue Wuhen.
She just didn’t know what her relationship with Nan Feng was.
Previously, Nan Feng loathed and hated females; could it be related to that fierce beast female?
Su Muyao felt her guess at this time should be close to the truth.
However, they needed to capture Lin Huirou to know exactly what was going on.
Originally, these matters would be told to her by Wen Nanxi or Jing Chu.
But after they fused, they directly started the Ascension Road, so there was no way to ask.
Su Muyao interrogated other elders, but they knew even less than the Sikou Family Master.
"You said the Demon Realm would shelter you, what do you mean?"
The Sikou Family Master said in a low voice, "My daughter Cai Xu took some elixirs and Magic Artifacts from our Sikou Family and offered them to the Demon Beast Man, and she also went to the Demon Realm."
Pausing for a moment, he added, "She said she likes Nalan Gui Xue, and she wants to find Nalan Gui Xue."
Although they disagreed, Sikou Cai Xu was persistent in this matter.
She liked Nalan Gui Xue to the point of madness.
Even if it meant dying in the Demon Realm, she would go.
To ensure her safety, Huirou somehow found a Dark Beastman as a guide to take Sikou Cai Xu there.
"If Huirou hadn’t given her a lot of treasures to offer to the Demon Realm, our family wouldn’t just have these Magic Artifacts."
Of course, these Magic Artifacts originally came from Lin Huirou. Whoever she said to give them to, they naturally didn’t dare to have any opinions.
Su Muyao’s expression changed several times.
Speaking of Nalan Gui Xue, naturally, her heart ached.
The situation between her and Nalan Gui Xue was really too complicated. Thinking of him made her heart feel sour and uncomfortable.
However, Su Muyao suppressed these emotions, not allowing herself to think about it.
"Lin Huirou is colluding with the Demon Race Beastman from the Demon Realm?"
"It seems not a Demon Race Beastman, but a Dark Beastman."
"In the strictly hierarchical Demon Realm, Demon Race Beastmen rank high, while Dark Beastmen rank low."
He actually didn’t know whether Sikou Cai Xu could meet Nalan Gui Xue.
In their view, Nalan Gui Xue should only be an ordinary Dark Beastman, because he only had half the blood of a Dark Beastman, triggering the Dark Aura, and was expelled from the family, forced to go to the Dark Family.
With a low status in the Demon Realm, Cai Xu took the Magic Treasures there, maybe Nalan Gui Xue, for survival, would accept Cai Xu if he was sensible.
This was also Nalan Caixu’s purpose.
They completely didn’t know Nalan Gui Xue’s true bloodline and real origin.
Su Muyao and Yue Wuhen asked a lot of information, including from the Sikou Family Master and the elders.
As for the Si Kou Ancestor, he was already crippled and couldn’t say a word.
Finally, Yue Wuhen took action and killed everyone in the Sikou Family.
Because Yue Wuhen could also see that their hands were stained with a lot of Beastman blood.
Moreover, they discovered many Beastman corpses in the Sikou Family’s secret chamber, with Blood Pills beside them.
They had also colluded with the Spider Clan, annihilating many tribes.
So they killed these people without hesitation and set the entire Sikou Family’s residence on fire.
...
Then Su Muyao and Yue Wuhen rushed overnight to the location of the Spider Gang.
The location of the Spider Gang was also revealed by the Sikou Family Master and his group.
After finding the Spider Gang and dealing with it, they went to the Bright Hall.
When Yue Wuhen took action, the elders and Beastmen stewards of the Bright Hall had no chance to resist.
When attacking the Beastmen of the Bright Hall, Yue Wuhen was extremely ruthless.
With one move, countless Beastmen of the Bright Hall all fell dead.
He could have used Hidden Weapons to kill them, but Yue Wuhen didn’t kill them easily; he initially pierced their bodies with Hidden Weapons, only killing them later.
He still remembered that his wife had previously died due to the Bright Hall’s scheming.
This time, Yue Wuhen was almost enacting revenge.
Su Muyao did not stop him.
Because although the Bright Hall was called the Bright Hall, the things it did were extremely vicious, now still colluding with the Insect Clan, harming more innocent Beastmen, they indeed deserved to die.
Moreover, now the Bright Hall had almost become the force of Lin Huirou, making it even more intolerable.
When Yue Wuhen floated out of the Bright Hall’s secret chamber, carrying Lin Huirou, and threw her into the hall, Lin Huirou couldn’t believe it.
"Who are you?"
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Huirou’s face turned pale, yet she still appeared arrogant.
Yue Wuhen did not speak, he just moved his fingers, and the supernatural power gathered in his palm into a series of moves aimed at Lin Huirou.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
A sudden sound burst from Lin Huirou’s body, like balloons being punctured.
"Ah...ah..."
Lin Huirou screamed in pain as her superpower and meridians were completely destroyed.
She glared fiercely at Su Muyao and Yue Wuhen with reddened eyes from pain.
In the end, her whole body collapsed to the ground.
No longer did she have the imposing manner she had moments ago.
She knew she had encountered a tough opponent; the strength of this person was simply terrifying.
Yet the pain made her mind even clearer; she lay on the ground and looked up at the two people before her, suddenly thinking of long-buried memories.
"You... you’re a Witch Clan person, how can that be..."
She noticed the young man’s attire, his purple eyes, the pure and glass-like purple sheen, and his entire aura, forcing her to recall this ancient race.
A race that her master was extremely wary of.
That year, the master had arrived on the Cang Beast Continent as a Spiritual Body, but was eventually exterminated by the Witch Clan Beastman.
It took the master a hundred thousand years to recover and reappear as a Spiritual Body here again.
But she felt her master’s aura snap that day, and the master-servant contract disappeared, indicating her master had died.
She couldn’t believe that her master, who was so powerful, could die even if only coming as a Spiritual Body.
"You are a Witch Clan person, then you must be that Su Muyao the master is looking for."
She remembered seeing her portrait in the Bright Hall Main Hall.
It should have been a portrait drawn by Nan Feng.
Moreover, it was the person the master came to kill this time.
She just didn’t care at the time, thinking with her master’s ability, it should be easy to kill this person; she didn’t need to remember what she looked like.
The pain made her recall all of this.
