Looking at the golden pills in her hand, her lips curled up. She placed the pills into the jade bottle and sealed it before putting it away.

Then, she took out some low-grade medicinal herbs. The blue flames flickered for a moment, and the medicinal herbs condensed into a drop of essence. She diluted this drop of essence with water and filled up the five medicinal bottles individually.

It was not that Ye Shu was stingy. When she gave the same spiritual liquid to the owner of the Hundred Herbs Hall just now, her shocked expression was not fake. It showed that even if the spiritual liquid was diluted five times, it was still a precious thing that could not be easily obtained with money.

If she took out the undiluted essence, even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators would explode in death because they could not withstand it. It might even cause a reign of terror in the outside world.

The warning from that person in her previous life was still ringing in her ears.Ye Shu lowered her eyes and kept the five bottles of spiritual liquid.

At the same time, on a snowy mountain, white snow was fluttering in the wind. It was long and continuous, and it seemed to be letting out a vibrating sound.

A man dressed in white was sitting cross-legged on the peak of the mountain. Snow was falling on his body, but he remained unmoved, as if he was one with the world.

Suddenly, a clear cry of a phoenix pierced through the ninth heavens. In an instant, the setting sun in the west surpassed blood and half the sky turned red. It was like a ferocious beast stretching out its claws.

He slowly opened his eyes. There was no warmth in his cold eyes as he muttered softly, “I’m afraid the world is going to be in chaos.”

The man slowly stood up. His tall figure seemed to be aloof and untainted by the world. His fingers moved slightly; conjuring a stream of light before he flew away.

Just as Ye Shu pushed open the door, she saw that the outside was filled with wolves. The trees and houses have all collapsed. There were obvious signs of a fight just now. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly flew to the front yard, only to see Mrs. Ye lying in a pool of blood, barely breathing.

Her heart sank and she had a bad feeling.

“Mother!” Ye Shu quickly walked over to Mrs. Ye and helped her up. Seeing that her eyes were tightly shut, she hurriedly took her pulse and her pupils constricted.

Her heart meridians were shattered, and the spiritual energy in her body had completely dissipated. There was barely any vitality left in her body. it was as though Mrs Ye had been poisoned.

This was the first time Ye Shu felt helpless. She had never seen this poison before. She frantically took out the Blood Qi Pill and fed it to Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye coughed and opened her eyes slowly.

Joy flashed across Ye Shu’s eyes. “Mom, you’re awake!”

Mrs Ye panted with difficulty. When she saw Ye Shu, her eyes were filled with fear. She hurriedly pushed Ye Shu. “Shu-er, leave quickly! They will be back soon. Your father, he…”

Ye Shu suddenly asked, “What happened to Father?”

Mrs Ye’s aged face turned pale, her eyes rolled back and she spat out a mouthful of blood!

“Mother!” Ye Shu screamed in shock. Her voice was sorrowful and her eyes were bloodshot. Suddenly, she saw a flash of light beside Mrs. Ye. She looked at it and picked it up, and her eyes immediately turned blood-red!

She stood up slowly, flames of rage burning in her chest.

It was the Ye family!

Ye Shu carried Mrs. Ye and flew into the room. She gently placed the unconscious Mrs. Ye on the bed and spoke calmly.

“Mother, I’ll get the antidote for you. Wait for me.”

Mrs Ye was groggy, but awakened upon hearing Ye Shu’s words. She struggled to get up and said in a panic, “Don’t go! Shu-er, don’t go!”

However, in the next moment, Ye Shu appeared in front of her and touched her sleeping acupoint with her index finger. Mrs. Ye could not resist the drowsiness and opened her eyes wide to look at Ye Shu’s calm eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she quickly fell asleep.

After settling Mrs. Ye down, the calmness on Ye Shu’s face vanished completely. Her aura surged and a terrifying murderous intent filled the entire house in an instant, as if she was hibernating in the Ninth Heaven!

As she flew towards the Ye Residence, she could hear the wind blowing beside her ears. Ye Shu’s eyes were filled with coldness!

Ye Residence.

Ye Ting was twisted around by a few servants as he kneeled on the ground in a sorry state. His hair was messy and covered his face. His clothes were also tattered and his entire body was covered in blood. He still lifted his head and looked straight at Ye Zhang in front of him. Even though he had turned into this state, he was rejoicing in his heart.

Luckily, Shu Er’s room was hidden and was not found by these people. He hoped that she could hide far away and not be implicated by them.

“You didn’t expect this, did you, Ye Ting? One day, you will fall into my hands.” Ye Zhang’s face was twisted with excitement as he quietly appraised Ye Ting’s sorry state. He lifted his leg and stomped down on Ye Ting’s back. Ye Ting’s face turned pale, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard. He immediately felt his blood rush up, and he almost fainted with a groan.

At this moment, Ye Zhang laughed proudly. Spiritual energy surged in his hands as he whistled through the air, carrying a powerful momentum as he charged towards Ye Ting!

Bang!

Ye Ting’s abdomen suffered a heavy blow.. He crashed into a tree and felt his heart rupture as his blood surged!
