Chapter 627: Chapter 386: Ning Yunying

The girl’s gaze turned to Su Jie’s side, where Han Ruyan stood, and to the thousand-hand centipede on Su Jie’s shoulder, as her aura became increasingly intense.

The sky split open like a giant maw, spewing endless fury, dark clouds pressing down, lightning slicing through the heavens like swords, accompanied by deafening thunder. Thousands of lightning bolts struck down, blasting crater after crater into the ground, and the storm carried sand and debris, sweeping over the remnants and broken walls of Liuyun Manor. Dust flew, and debris danced in the air.

Such a scene of natural disaster dwarfed human endeavor, rendering all efforts in the face of nature’s power seemingly inconsequential.

Su Jie’s expression was grave; he had dabbled in Heavenly Might, at the Taoist Platform Realm, capable of summoning natural disasters against his foes. However, Su Jie was far from reaching the scale of Heavenly Might the girl before him wielded.

Han Ruyan slowly looked up, her wedding dress flickering with red light, and her body became a black hole, drawing in the thunderbolts into the blood-colored wedding dress while a cold Blood Moon emerged behind her.

Within the moon were tiny black spots, akin to the eyes of wandering spirits, peering out from the darkness at everything, filling the air with an ominous and deadly stillness that suffocated.

The thousand-hand centipede on Su Jie’s shoulder hissed, its body violently expanding to become a three-hundred-meter-long behemoth.

It towered like mountains, each piece of its scale armor gleaming with a metallic luster. Its breaths brought gales, kicking up dust, and its roars echoed for miles around, sending shivers through the souls of those who heard it.

A ghost and an insect feeling the threat, moved to shield Su Jie, confronting the girl’s formidable aura.

“Seventh-grade Fierce Ghost, Seven Refinement Poisonous Insect, no wonder you’ve earned the name Corpse Hand Man Slaughter,”

said the girl, her stoic face barely changing as she looked on with detachment, an air of cold arrogance about her, she then said, “Ning Yunying, my sister Ning Xinyue, in her whimsy, left home. Thank you for looking after her these past days.”

As the girl stopped speaking, her aura vanished instantly, and the dense clouds above dispersed as if the disastrous scene had never occurred. This level of control, summoning and dispersing power at will, indicated absolute mastery and placed her among the top powers within the Taoist Platform Realm.

Just this show of dominance was enough to send a chill through Su Jie’s spine. This girl was clearly not one to be trifled with.

“Su Jie, I dare not take credit for looking after her. Miss Ning also helped me out quite a bit, so it was merely a cooperative venture,”

Su Jie beckoned, and the centipede shrank, twining around his arm, hissing at Ning Yunying, showing a bit of defiance.

“Xinyue has told me about you.”

Ning Yunying approached Su Jie, looked him up and down and said, “Since entering Qingzhou, I’ve heard of your reputation, Corpse Hand Man Slaughter, Demon Sect Immortal Seed. Seeing you in person, the name is indeed well-deserved.”

“Compared with Miss Ning, who reached Taoist Platform Realm at such a young age, my reputation counts for little.”

Stroking the thousand-hand centipede in his hand, Su Jie pointed towards Liuyun Manor, now nothing but death and ruins, and asked, “Miss Ning, does this have something to do with you?”

“This manor? I slaughtered it.”

Ning Yunying made no attempt to hide the fact, her serene and ethereal beauty contrasting sharply with the merciless and indifferent words she spoke.

“Whoever dares touch my sister deserves such a fate,”

Ning Yunying stated in a condemning tone, unshakeable in her words, offering no defense for slaughtering tens of thousands, her actions revealing an unrivaled indifference.

“Impressive.”

Su Jie gave a respectful bow; clearly, she was avenging Ning Xinyue.

Initially, Ning Xinyue was sent to the Slave Trading Ship by Liuyun Manor, where Su Jie first met her.

Liuyun Manor could hardly have imagined that for the sake of one girl, they would be annihilated, with none spared.

From this, it was evident that not only was Ning Yunying powerful, her killing intent matched even that of the Demon Path.

After all, those on the Righteous sect would often try to spare families from their wrath, at least in public, unlike the Demon Path, who would slaughter without restraint.

Considering this, beneath Ning Yunying’s frosty exterior lay a heart capable of unsparing slaughter, unswayed by the outer world.

It’s no wonder Ning Xinyue had no qualms about joining Ghost Ridge Palace, killing numerous of the Righteous sect without a second thought, and acting wildly unbefitting of her former status.

With such a sister, it’s likely Ning Xinyue never considered herself a part of the Righteous sect.

“Pity, I too was looking to cause trouble for Liuyun Manor, but Miss Ning, you beat me to it.”

Su Jie said regretfully, shaking his head. Ning Yunying’s eyes flickered slightly at his words.

“Were you planning to stand up for Xinyue?”

“To tell the truth, I’ve had my own grievances with Liuyun Manor for a while.”

Su Jie smiled. Although he came for Zhuang Liangru, he truly intended to exterminate Liuyun Manor and profit handsomely from it.

Ning Yunying’s attitude softened, “It seems Xinyue has a good eye for friends.”

“Miss Ning, have you seen a middle-aged man at the Taoist Platform Realm, the Supreme Elder from Guan Chao Pavilion, who was reportedly healing at Liuyun Manor?”

“Him? Half an hour before I arrived at Liuyun Manor, he confronted me. After I struck him with a palm, he used a Transmission Spirit Talisman to flee. Since he wasn’t my target, I didn’t pursue him immediately. Do you have a vendetta against him?”

Ning Yunying spoke casually, as if sending a Taoist Platform Realm expert fleeing with a palm strike was an insignificant matter to her.
