Dan Tuo provokingly looked at Ling Yue, "If you don't want him to become a hornet's nest, then follow me and work for me from now on." Such an interesting woman would be too much of a pity to kill. He wanted to tame her, and when she became obedient, he would slowly torture her to death - that would be truly amusing.
"You can try if you want, to see whether your men act faster or die faster," Ling Yue said in a voice devoid of any warmth, looking at Dan Tuo as if she were staring at a dead man.
Dan Tuo inexplicably felt a surge of unease in his heart. He gritted his teeth and lowered his raised hand. "Kill her!" This woman was inscrutable to him, it would be safer to eliminate her.
But the gunshots never rang out. Instead, there were sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Dan Tuo followed the sounds and stared blankly at the scene before him. All of his men had collapsed on the ground, their state of life or death unknown.
"Are you human or a monster?" Dan Tuo looked at Ling Yue, his eyes filled with intense fear. This was the first time he had tasted what it meant to be afraid.
Ling Yue did not answer Dan Tuo's question. She glanced at her watch, "It's about time."
As her words fell, Dan Tuo felt an excruciating pain in his head, as if it were about to explode. He crouched on the ground in agony, clutching his head and letting out piercing screams...
Fresh red liquid slowly oozed out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. He curled up on the ground, his eyes bulging with pain and horror, and slowly lost his breath.
Ling Yue did not even spare Dan Tuo a glance. "Cousin, take them out first. I'll deal with some things here."
"Okay," Lan Ji replied, leading the rescued people away from the estate.
Those people cast fearful glances at Ling Yue before following Lan Ji out.
Ling Yue waved her hand, and countless tiny starry lights instantly appeared in the sky. Those starry lights scattered like fireflies, flying towards the departing people and silently entering their minds.
Everyone's steps faltered, a trace of confusion in their eyes. Was there something they had forgotten?
Ling Yue curved her lips into a smile and walked towards the villa. She had just remembered something - since this was Dan Tuo's lair, his possessions must be kept here.
After rummaging through the villa, Ling Yue's haul was truly substantial: more than a dozen pieces of top-quality jade, several deeds to estates, two mining sites, and piles of gold, silver, and jewels.
She swept all the items into her miniature world, then strode out of the estate in her car to rendezvous with Lan Ji. These things were all obtained by Dan Tuo through unlawful means, but she had eliminated Dan Tuo and his forces, which was like avenging those he had killed. So, it was only right for her to take the spoils as compensation.
She parked the car next to Lan Ji's. "Cousin, get in."
Lan Ji got into the car. "Yue Yue, what level of martial artist are you exactly?" He had been wondering about this. With Yue Yue's age, even if she had been practicing martial arts since childhood, she should not have been able to break through to the Celestial Level and become a Celestial Level Martial Arts Grandmaster. Yet, the prowess Yue Yue had just displayed far exceeded that.
"You'll find out later," Ling Yue mischievously smiled at Lan Ji, started the car, and drove towards the hotel they were staying at. She was not a practitioner of ancient martial arts, but a cultivator of immortality. Her abilities were naturally beyond comparison to those of ancient martial artists.
Ancient martial arts cultivation was divided into four levels: Terrestrial, Celestial, Profound, and Primordial. An ordinary martial artist who broke through the Primordial Level was considered to have crossed the threshold into the ranks of ancient martial artists. However, breaking through the Celestial Level of ancient martial arts was merely stepping into the realm of immortal cultivation.
Immortal cultivation was inherently more difficult than martial arts cultivation. One had to possess a spiritual root and have ample spiritual energy to cultivate. Otherwise, even with a spiritual root, it would be in vain.
The cultivation method she had practiced in her previous life was quite special, allowing her to harness the power of the stars. Even if she died, as long as her spirit remained intact, she could continue to cultivate. Her spiritual root had long since merged with her spirit, so when she entered this original host's body, she could cultivate through this physical form.
"Yue Yue, when we get back this time, would you like to come with me to the Valley of Divine Doctors?" Lan Ji looked at Ling Yue, a hint of anticipation in his peach-blossom eyes. Last time, Yue Yue had promised him that she would go to the Valley of Divine Doctors with him after the Gambling Stone Exchange Meeting. He wondered if she still remembered.
"Mmm," Ling Yue nodded. She had promised Lan Ji that she would go to the Valley of Divine Doctors with him, and she would not go back on her word.
Lan Ji smiled happily, "Then after we return, we'll go to the Valley of Divine Doctors right away." Grandpa and Grandma had been calling him repeatedly, asking when he would bring Yue Yue back.
"Okay," Ling Yue smiled and nodded. Perhaps because of their blood relation, she felt a faint sense of anticipation in her heart.
