Sun Bugui watched the enraged Qilin, his fear growing even more intense. He immediately knelt before the Qilin, kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Great Qilin, spare my life! I truly don't know what's happening! This has nothing to do with my Sun family!"
Although Sun Bugui didn't know what Ye Ling and the Qilin had seen in Kong Xuhan's memories, he knew it couldn't be anything good. He began cursing Kong Xuhan in his heart, wishing he could devour him alive!
In Sun Bugui's eyes, all the suffering his Sun family was currently enduring was caused by Kong Xuhan!
If he had known this would happen, he would never have had anything to do with Kong Xuhan!
The Qilin was already furious. Sun Bugui kowtowing and begging for mercy was like jumping into a fiery pit.
Sun Bugui's pleas only served to ignite the Qilin's rage further.
"Roar!!!"
The Qilin roared at Sun Bugui, and endless lightning struck the Sun family manor, leveling it to the ground!
Sun Bugui's fear intensified. He didn't dare to resist at all, kowtowing even more fiercely, "It really has nothing to do with me! This is all Kong Xuhan's fault!"
"Silence! I will have you all buried with me!"
Amidst Sun Bugui's pleas, the Qilin was on the verge of completely losing its mind. It roared fiercely, raising its massive claw and slamming it down towards Sun Bugui!
However, just as the Qilin's claw was about to crush Sun Bugui into a meat patty, it stopped.
Ye Ling's warning echoed in its mind.
Its child had not yet been rescued and was still suffering in the hands of that beast. If it struck now, it believed Ye Ling would definitely intervene!
Even though it had broken through to the ninth rank, its strength comparable to a human's Red Dust Immortal, it knew clearly that it was still no match for Ye Ling!
If Ye Ling acted, it would surely die!
Ye Ling watched as the Qilin's claw halted above Sun Bugui's head, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
Whether Sun Bugui lived or died was of no consequence to him.
However, whether the Qilin would strike Sun Bugui or not indicated whether it would ultimately lose control.
If it killed Sun Bugui, its savage nature would be fully unleashed, and its next target would likely be the ordinary humans in the entire city of Shanghai.
With the Qilin's current power, descending with thunderbolts would undoubtedly obliterate the entire city, causing countless tragedies!
Now that the Qilin had stopped, it meant that its reason had ultimately triumphed over its anger, and it remembered Ye Ling's warning.
Sun Bugui felt the Qilin's massive claw suspended above his head. He was utterly terrified and immediately kowtowed to the Qilin, "Thank you, great one, for sparing my life! My Sun family will erect your divine shrine and offer sacrifices daily!"
Just as he thought he had escaped death and would survive, Ye Ling's next words plunged him into despair.
Ye Ling smiled and said to the Qilin, "Actually, this Sun family isn't good either. They engage in all sorts of atrocities like burning, killing, and looting in secret. Moreover, their Sun family has offended me. If you wish to vent your anger, feel free to act."
Sun Bugui was one of the few people who knew what Kong Xuhan looked like. Even if the Qilin hadn't acted, Ye Ling would have eliminated Sun Bugui next.
Although Sun Bugui was destined to die, the Qilin acting on its own was different from Ye Ling allowing the Qilin to act.
"Thank you, sir!"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, the fear that the Qilin had been suppressing erupted. It could no longer contain its violent killing intent and slammed its massive claw towards Sun Bugui without hesitation!
*Splat!*
The ancestor of the Medicine Sect, a renowned figure in China... was directly crushed into a meat patty by the Qilin!
After killing Sun Bugui, the Qilin's killing intent subsided significantly, and it gradually calmed down.
The thunder in the sky ceased, but the clouds remained dense.
Ye Ling glanced at Kong Xuhan, who had fallen to the ground, and asked the Qilin, "Aren't you going to kill him?"
"Killing him would be too easy for him. I want him to taste the suffering my child is enduring," the Qilin said darkly, its eyes filled with madness.
The Qilin was originally a divine beast, but after the incident with Kong Xuhan, it was almost driven to become a ferocious beast!
However, Ye Ling bore no responsibility for what the Qilin would ultimately choose to do, nor did he need to guide it.
His purpose for coming this time, besides dealing with Sun Bugui and Kong Xuhan and solidifying the foundation for his future false identity, was to watch the show.
Despite the Qilin incident, Ye Ling had not forgotten his original intention.
Ye Ling took a deep look at the Qilin, then took out a bottle of pills from his spatial ring and threw it to the Qilin. "After you rescue your child, feed it these pills. It will recover its vitality quickly."
The Qilin held the jade bottle in its mouth, solemnly putting it away. Then, it looked at Ye Ling questioningly and asked, "Why are you helping me?"
"Because I want to," Ye Ling said with a light laugh, causing the Qilin to be slightly stunned.
However, after a moment of stunned silence, the Qilin looked at Ye Ling again and bowed respectfully, "Sir is a divine being. Muirui... remembers your kindness!"
With that, the Qilin Muirui picked up the unconscious Kong Xuhan and soared into the sky, carrying the thick dark clouds, and flew away from the city of Shanghai.
It possessed Kong Xuhan's memories and knew where its child was being held. From now on, it wouldn't need Ye Ling's help to rescue its child.
Ye Ling watched as the Qilin Muirui departed, his gaze calm and his eyes deep.
The surrounding flames blazed, and even as the dark clouds dispersed, the sky remained a fiery red.
The troops mobilized by the Dragon Department arrived, and the entire Sun family manor was sealed off. Fire trucks from the city and surrounding areas rushed to the scene, attempting to extinguish the towering inferno!
"It seems my work here is done."
Ye Ling scanned the situation outside with his divine sense. Seeing that the Dragon Department had control of the situation and the fire at the Sun family manor had been contained, Ye Ling did not linger.
As the great fire consumed the courtyard, Ye Ling vanished from the spot.
What happened at the Sun family's Medicine Sect began to spread like wildfire, both in society and within the circle of extraordinary individuals.
Some people witnessed the Qilin's appearance and believed it to be a punishment from heaven for the Medicine Sect, a sign that the heavens intended to destroy the Sun family!
Amidst this fervor, the various crimes of the Medicine Sect were exposed.
In an instant, as the wall crumbled, everyone pushed. The Medicine Sect began to lose its influence at an unbelievable speed, and various powers rushed to distance themselves from the Sun family.
A prominent noble family was clearly showing signs of decline!
Golden Wind Hotel.
The atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.
Although two-thirds of the Medicine Sect's disciples were gathered here, with their main base destroyed and the voices of condemnation against the Medicine Sect growing louder, the disciples of the Medicine Sect felt extremely uneasy, with some already considering leaving the sect.
The tide had turned against them.
However, just as the morale of the Medicine Sect was wavering, the Medicine King Sun Zheng, who was in the capital, upon hearing that the Sun family manor had been razed to the ground, could no longer sit still. He immediately boarded a private jet and rushed to Shanghai, about to arrive at the Golden Wind Hotel.
He intended to personally preside over the auction!
With the Medicine King returning to take charge, the disciples of the Medicine Sect were reassured and continued with their work.
The auction at the Golden Wind Hotel... proceeded as originally planned!
