Seeing that most of the onlookers had left, Ling Luoyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandpa, we can continue."
After speaking, Ling Luoyi walked back to her original position, feeling that the pressure Heavenly Dao placed on her had lessened.
At this moment, the Old Ancestor of the Wei family also recovered and pointed at Ling Luoyi, roaring, "Ling Luoyi! Where did you get a ninth-grade pill?! Did you steal it?"
Ling Luoyi ignored the old man. There was no point in engaging with a mad old man. However, what the Crown Prince had just said was somewhat insightful. The gates of Yun Yuan City opened precisely at the first hour of Mao, regardless of wind or rain. Yet, it was already close to the first hour of Chen, and they were still not open. Only the royal family could manage the city gates, which indicated the royal family's attitude.
With this thought, Ling Luoyi looked at the Crown Prince in the distance. The Crown Prince was quite far away, accompanied by a squadron of guards. It seemed Emperor Tian Wu truly trusted the Ling family to resolve this matter. However, this suited Ling Luoyi perfectly. She preferred to exact her own revenge; otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until now.
Ling Luoyi scanned the surroundings. Some people remained, but they were all at a distance. Ling Luoyi was quite satisfied with this.
Seeing that his shouts had gone unanswered by Ling Luoyi, the Old Ancestor of the Wei family became furious, feeling as if his vision had darkened, and he almost fainted.
Ling Huayu, seeing that his clansmen were about to lose control, sighed, raised his hand, and then quickly lowered it. The Ling family clansmen received the command, drew their weapons, and charged forward.
The Wei family members, witnessing the Ling family's eyes reddened with hatred, felt their legs tremble uncontrollably. However, they had no retreat and could only brace themselves.
As the Ling family members swung their swords, the Wei family members instinctively raised their hands to block. But their weapons were merely mortal artifacts bought from the Artifact Refiners Guild, while the Ling family members' weapons were all Great Illusion Artifacts given by Ling Luoyi. With a difference of a major rank between them, how could they possibly be a match?
The Ling family members' swords broke the Wei family members' weapons and then landed on them, drawing large swathes of blood.
The Wei family members watched as the Ling family members' swords pierced their bodies, and then they fell to the ground, feeling their blood drain away, their breaths gradually ceasing. Even in their final moments, they could not comprehend why their weapons were so fragile against the Ling family.
After killing the first person, the Ling family members continued to strike at the second. As more and more enemies fell, they did not become more brutal. Instead, they felt increasingly lighter in their hearts. The hatred of ten years, the loss of loved ones – they had carried it for too long. As they finally unleashed it, they couldn't help but shed tears.
The remaining Wei family members, seeing those who wept while relentlessly slaughtering their kin, grew increasingly terrified. Eventually, they could no longer hold on and fled outwards. However, after only a few steps, they fell straight down, their eyes filled with deep fear even in death.
This was a complete one-sided slaughter! The opponents had no power to resist!
The Old Ancestor of the Wei family watched his clansmen fall in waves, his heart filled with both anger and regret. He regretted not having let them go ten years ago! At the same time, his movements became increasingly fierce. However, he was facing Ling Huayu. While he was indeed a second-tier Spirit Master, Ling Huayu had not only handled family affairs over the past three months but had also been cultivating. Although his progress was not as rapid as Ling Luochen's, he was now a fourth-tier Spirit Master. Furthermore, the Great Illusion Artifact given to him by Ling Luoyi was of a higher grade. Therefore, how could the Old Ancestor of the Wei family be Ling Huayu's opponent?
The situation on the battlefield was overwhelmingly one-sided. Ling Luoyi watched quietly. The killing did not stir any emotional fluctuations within her. It was only when she saw the increasing amount of blood on the ground, growing redder and redder, that she could no longer control her emotions. Her eyes began to turn scarlet, and her aura became unstable.
In this state, even Heavenly Dao dared not provoke Ling Luoyi. Thus, it obediently shifted its gaze away, not daring to continue watching.
The first to notice something amiss with Ling Luoyi was Gu Yuncheng, who had been watching her. Gu Yuncheng's gaze had been fixed on Ling Luoyi. He also knew that Ling Luoyi was sensitive to blood, so he immediately stepped in front of her. However, in his haste, he forgot that he was currently invisible. Even standing in front of Ling Luoyi, she could still see the blood all over the ground.
Just as Gu Yuncheng was about to break his invisibility, he saw a snow-white hand cover Ling Luoyi's faintly reddened eyes. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and clasped Ling Luoyi's hands.
Qiu Yuanxi had been watching the Ling family's one-sided slaughter. Upon seeing the blood everywhere, she immediately reacted. She turned her head and saw Ling Luoyi on the verge of going berserk. Before her mind could even process it, her hand covered Ling Luoyi's eyes.
Seeing what she had done, Qiu Yuanxi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Luo'er didn't attack her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to withstand a single punch from her, which could send her to the King of Hell!
Seeing Ling Luoyi gradually stabilize, Qiu Yuanxi finally exhaled a breath of relief, but her hand did not move. Seeing that no one else was around, she whispered, "Demon Emperor Venerable, I know you are here, and you have seen it. Xiao Luo'er is fine now. Don't reveal yourself, or things will become serious!"
Qiu Yuanxi's tone was solemn. This was her admonishment as the Saintess of Medicine of the Human Race to the Demon Emperor Venerable of the Demon Race.
Gu Yuncheng understood her meaning. As the Venerable of the Demon Race, if he suddenly appeared in human territory, even if the higher-ups knew of his relationship with Ling Luoyi, his exposure would cause significant trouble for Ling Luoyi! In the past, when he was in the form of a fox, it was fine. People could simply say he was Ling Luoyi's contracted beast, as no one knew his true form. But if he were to appear in human form, the human domain lords would not know he was here, leading to unnecessary misunderstandings and affecting relations between the two races.
"I know," Gu Yuncheng's voice was very soft, but Qiu Yuanxi could hear it.
Ling Luoyi, now clear-headed, heard this sentence. She understood these implications and thus guessed that Gu Yuncheng had intended to break his invisibility, risking exposure.
Ling Luoyi raised her hand to push away Qiu Yuanxi's hand. Qiu Yuanxi felt a sting and instinctively wanted to move away. However, she instantly remembered that Ling Luoyi would be stimulated by the blood, so she didn't move, firmly covering Ling Luoyi's eyes to prevent her from seeing the blood pool behind her.
Ling Luoyi looked at the fair, tender palm still covering her eyes and felt speechless. She knew Qiu Yuanxi's concerns, but this habit of hers still needed to be resolved quickly. Otherwise, on the battlefield, it would lead to serious consequences!
Ling Luoyi directly pulled Qiu Yuanxi's hand away and looked at her, saying earnestly, "A Yuan, I was just momentarily unaware, which is why this happened. Now that I'm mentally prepared, and you also know, I must resolve this as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Ling Luoyi didn't finish her sentence, but Qiu Yuanxi understood. If this issue wasn't resolved, the Domain Lord wouldn't allow her on the battlefield. And as the Saintess of War, being unable to fight would make her unable to command respect!
Qiu Yuanxi sighed and said nothing, allowing Ling Luoyi to look at the blood pool. She kept a close eye on Ling Luoyi, and if she showed any signs of going berserk again, she would immediately cover her eyes.
Fortunately this time, Ling Luoyi watched the ongoing fighting, the blood-soaked ground outside the Ling Manor gates, and the individuals falling into the blood pool. She suppressed the bloodthirsty desire surging within her heart. Despite the difficulty, she managed to control herself and not be influenced.
