Chapter 971 - So This Is Fate

Aunt Yi stopped and looked on in shock.

Time seemed to have condensed in an instant.

“You... you actually killed her?” Aunt Yi looked at Qing Lingyan, who appeared later, with surprise, sadness, and anger.

“Hmph, either she dies or you die. You should thank me now,” said Qing Lingyan coldly as she drew back her sword.

“Aunt Yi, you actually colluded with outsiders to steal the sect’s treasure!” The Blood Beast Sect leader shouted angrily as she clutched at her chest and fell to the ground. She was already at the end of her rope. Never did she expect Aunt Yi to have an accomplice. She might as well have her heart pierced by Qing Lingyan. It appeared that she would not survive.

“Sect Leader, it’s not like that. We just want to take revenge,” said Aunt Yi incoherently.

“Why are you still speaking so much nonsense? Quickly, give me the treasure. As long as you give this treasure to Ling Chuxi, we can use the Blood Beast Sect to take revenge!” Qing Lingyan saw that the Blood Beast Sect leader’s breathing was thinning but she was too lazy to take another stab.

The Aunt Yi’s mind was a mess as she hugged the wooden box tightly.

“Things have come to this point. Do you still want to repent? This debt is either on Ling Chuxi’s head or on yours. It’s either you or Ling Chuxi dies,” said Qing Lingyan coldly.

“Ling Chuxi... their enemy is called Ling Chuxi, also surnamed Ling...” As she was dying, Qing Lingyan’s words echoed in the Blood Beast Sect leader’s mind and she suddenly thought of something.

A gratified and relieved smile slowly bloomed on her face, as if she had finally understood something.

“This is fate. So this is fate. The opportunity has come...” The Blood Beast Sect leader returned to her senses and let out a light laugh. She closed her eyes happily.

Qing Lingyan and Aunt Yi had not expected such a reaction from the Blood Beast Sect leader. Shouldn’t she be filled with hatred and unwillingness? How could she laugh so easily?

“Give it to me quickly. Don’t you want to take revenge?” asked Qing Lingyan anxiously. There’s no time to think. The Blood Beast Sect leader’s laughter would definitely attract the attention of others. If they didn’t leave now, it would be too late.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You’re crazy.” Aunt Yi cursed in a low voice but still handed the wooden box over. Things had already come to this point, what else could she do? The sect leader was already dead, so the blame would naturally be put on Ling Chuxi.

“Aren’t you the same?” Qing Lingyan retorted as she took the wooden box.

“If you dare let your greed be the better of you, I won’t forgive you,” said Aunt Yi worriedly to Qing Lingyan.

“I think you should be the one worrying about how you’re going to explain things to them. I only care about Ling Chuxi and this thing is just a means to an end for me,” said Qing Lingyan.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Now strike me with your palm, quick!” Aunt Yi knew how much Qing Lingyan hated Ling Chuxi, so it wasn’t hard for her to believe her. Moreover, the sect leader had not been able to unravel the secret of this bracelet for so many years. So, she didn’t think Qing Lingyan would be able to either.

Qing Lingyan knew that she was trying to use a bitter tactic. Without hesitation, she used her full strength to slap Aunt Yi’s chest.

With a few soft cracks, Aunt Yi’s sternum broke and blood gushed out from her mouth. Fortunately, she used her full strength to protect her heart meridian so she was able to keep her life.
