After the death of Zuo Zhongxiu, the deputy city lord of Yinxue City and the leader of the Shadow Hall, Xia Ruoxue, the deputy leader, frantically fought for power and took control of the Shadow Hall in just a few days.
Not only was she the deputy hall leader with a high level of cultivation, she was also an equal wife that Zuo Zhongxiu had publicly declared before his death.
It was impossible for others to argue with her. Before Yin Xuecheng could react, Xia Ruoxue immediately stood firm.
During this period, Zuo Zhongliang, the lord of Yinxue City, was scolded so badly by the master of Yinmang Sword Sect that he had no time to take care of the affairs of Youyingtang and could only let Xia Ruoxue take power quickly.
Seven days later...
Zuo Zhongxiu went to the funeral.
Within Silver Snow City.
In the solemn ancestral hall.
A sad ceremony was being held. The monks of the Zuo family stood in front of Zuo Zhongxiu's spiritual tablet with sad faces, solemnly and piously offering sacrifices to him.
Zuo Zhongxiu's first wife, Yang Manfeng, dressed in black, accompanied by five concubines and a group of children, cried her heart out in front of Zuo Zhongxiu's memorial tablet.
But Xia Ruoxue was nowhere to be seen among this group of women.
Xia Ruoxue, who Zuo Zhongxiu publicly declared to be his equal wife, didn't come at all.
She entrusted Zhang Xiaoshan to send a wreath, and only her name was left on the wreath, not even her status as wife.
On such an important day as her husband's funeral, Xia Ruoxue did not show up, which was undoubtedly a great insult to the family.
Yang Manfeng was dissatisfied, but she did not go crazy on the day of her husband's funeral...
After the funeral, Yang Manfeng took his son to the Shadow Hall aggressively.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Yang Manfeng cursed loudly: "Xia Ruoxue, what kind of daughter-in-law of the Zuo family are you? You didn't even come to my husband's funeral. Your conscience was eaten by a dog!"
Her voice echoed in every corner of the Shadow Hall, shocking everyone.
Xia Ruoxue was dressed in black and walked out of the Shadow Hall with a cold face. She glanced at Yang Manfeng and her son with ice-like eyes. He said in a cold voice: "Go back and spare your life."
It was also the first time for Yang Manfeng to see Xia Ruoxue, and she felt an unspeakable feeling of terror and depression in front of this woman. However, thinking of the entire Zuo Cultivation Family standing behind her, Yang Manfeng did not show any weakness and yelled arrogantly: "You bitch! You have Who are you to give me orders? This is my husband's eldest son Zuo Guangtai, who is also my biological son. Do you, a woman, understand what the three obediences and four virtues are?"
Xia Ruoxue glanced at the sturdy child and said with a sneer: "Humph! I don't want to know about the nonsense about your mother and son."
Hearing this, Yang Manfeng's face was filled with shock. She pointed her finger at Xia Ruoxue and said with a trembling voice: "You bitch! Do you know that before you are married, you will obey your father, if you are married, you will obey your husband, and if your husband dies, you will obey your son! Although Rujun's husband has fallen, do you listen to the words of the eldest son? ?”
"Guangtai... your father has passed away. Now you have to take his place and discipline his women." Yang Manfeng said sternly to his son.
Zuo Guangtai took a deep breath and shouted to Xia Ruoxue: "Aunt Xia, yesterday was my father's funeral day, and you didn't come. Do you know how big a mistake you made?"
Xia Ruoxue replied calmly: "I am busy with official duties and really have no time to come, but I sent a wreath to express my feelings."
When Zuo Guangtai heard Xia Ruoxue's explanation, a look of dissatisfaction flashed across his face.
"Aunt Xia, your busy schedule cannot be an excuse for not coming to my father's funeral. As my father's wife, you must be present at my father's funeral, otherwise your name will not be engraved on the tombstone." Zuo Guangtai He said firmly.
"Hahahaha..." Xia Ruoxue laughed loudly: "Your dead father openly took advantage of me during his lifetime and said everywhere that I was his equal wife, but I never agreed."
When Zuo Guangtai heard Xia Ruoxue's words, he didn't know how to answer.
But Yang Manfeng pouted and said: "Xia Ruoxue! You relied on my status as husband and wife to control Youyingtang. Now that you have the power, you turned your back and refused to recognize anyone. Okay! Great!"
"You all heard it. This woman admits that she is not my husband's equal wife. Why are you still standing there? Take her down quickly!" Yang Manfeng shouted to the monk behind Xia Ruoxue.
Xia Ruoxue turned her head and glanced at the monks behind her. These monks lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at Xia Ruoxue and pretending not to hear her.
Xia Ruoxue's cultivation level is extremely high, far beyond them.
The first iron rule in the world of immortality is to respect strength.
You can fight with reason, but you can't fight with etiquette.
Now is the time for etiquette...
Seeing these people's reactions, Xia Ruoxue's lips revealed a mocking smile.
"Why don't you get out of here?" Xia Ruoxue said coldly again.
"Tai'er, hit her, I don't believe this bitch dares to do anything to you!" Yang Manfeng yelled angrily.
"Yes! Mother." After Zuo Guangtai finished speaking, he punched Xia Ruoxue.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xia Ruoxue's mouth, and she grabbed Zuo Guangtai's fist.
Blood refining divine light!
The red lightning struck Zuo Guangtai's body. Zuo Guangtai's body was shaking like chaff. He opened his mouth and wanted to scream, but he could only make painful whimpering sounds...
The blood from his body was drained, and a withered skeleton sat on the ground, his flesh almost turning into gray paper.
Yang Manfeng's face was full of disbelief. Her son actually died like this. He was alive and well one second, and became a mummy the next second.
"This, this, this... killed someone! Zuo Zhongxiu, the woman you found killed your own son! What a bitch she is!" Yang Manfeng howled like a slaughtered pig, and Xia Ruoxue used another blood refining move with her backhand The divine light turned this woman into a mummy.
The world is clean...
Two mummies, two balls of dirty blood.
Xia Ruoxue's face was cold and showed no mercy.
The Shadow Hall disciples behind her were as quiet as ice...
Then the entire Yinxue City was shocked.
Xia Ruoxue's ruthlessness and coldness were simply a slap in the face to the ancestors of the Zuo Cultivation Family.
Youying Hall is the property of the Zuo family, how can it be controlled by an outsider?
Silver Snow City.
inner city.
The Zuo family compound.
Xia Ruoxue, dressed in black with flying black hair, slowly walked into the courtyard.
The courtyard was crowded with people. They were holding a clan meeting. Zuo Zhongliang, the lord of Yinxue City, was presiding over the meeting. The meeting was about how to eliminate Xia Ruoxue.
Now the real owner Xia Ruoxue actually came on his own initiative, with a fierce and murderous attitude.
Zuo Zhongliang also stood up. His eyes were steady and his momentum was as strong as an abyss, showing an unshakable majesty.
Xia Ruoxue stopped in front of Zuo Zhongliang, and the two looked at each other, the atmosphere solemn and tense.
At this moment, the entire compound seemed to fall into silence, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the upcoming duel.
An elder wanted to ask, but Zuo Zhongliang raised his hand to stop him.
Things have reached such a stage, how can there be any room for change between the two parties?
There is nothing but a battle of life and death!
Just listen to Zuo Zhongliang say loudly: "Let the monks below the spiritual realm leave the compound!"
A group of low-level monks left behind Xia Ruoxue. Xia Ruoxue stood alone with her hands behind her back without stopping at all.
When the low-level monks were gone, there were only twelve sword cultivators left in the courtyard, each of whom had a cultivation level of the Rong Ling Realm. The leader Zuo Zhongliang had the terrifying strength of the late Rong Ling Realm.
There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and Xia Ruoxue seemed to have no chance of winning.
Xia Ruoxue did not implicate the low-level monks of the Zuo family, but Zuo Zhongliang still accepted her love and decided to give her a chance to defend herself.
"Xia Ruoxue, do you know your guilt?" Zuo Zhongliang's face was gloomy and his tone was stern.
Xia Ruoxue asked coldly: "What crime am I guilty of?" There was disdain and arrogance in her eyes, and her ice-like indifference made people feel chilly.
Zuo Zhongliang said in a stern voice: "As the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family, you killed a direct descendant of the Zuo family. It is a heinous crime!"
"Shut up! When did I admit that I am the daughter-in-law of your Zuo family? It was just that idiot Zuo Zhongxiu who claimed it himself." Xia Ruoxue mocked coldly.
Zuo Zhongliang said in a deep voice: "Okay! Since Miss Xia has made it so clear, let me explain it to you. Youying Hall is the property of my Zuo Cultivation Family, and outsiders must not be allowed to get involved. Miss Xia quits Yingying. Don, our grudges can be wiped out once and for all.”
"What if I don't quit?" Xia Ruoxue asked coldly.
"Bitch! Don't be shameless!" A monk pointed at Xia Ruoxue and said.
"Hahahaha... If you want to fight, let's fight. No need to say more!" Xia Ruoxue said impatiently.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Ruoxue moved and rushed towards Zuo Zhongliang like lightning. She raised her hand and pointed, and a bloody sword rushed out.
Zuo Zhongliang didn't show any weakness. He swayed and a silver-white sword appeared in his hand. A faint cold light circulated on the sword, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly, exuding an invisible pressure.
The moment the two of them fought, a sharp and harsh sound erupted.
Xia Ruoxue threw three plasma pills with her backhand.
Three blood-red pills exploded in the air, turning into a thick blood cloud. The blood-red cloud filled the courtyard, exuding a heart-stopping aura.
"Xueyun! This woman is indeed practicing blood magic!"
"Good and evil are incompatible, I must kill her today!"
"Under the blood cloud, her strength will be greatly increased, and she will quickly form a sword formation!"
Facing such a powerful enemy, the Zuo family monks also showed their strength. Under the command of Zuo Zhongliang, they quickly formed a sword formation. The sword energy crisscrossed and condensed into a white cloud.
This cloud and mist is composed of countless small ice edges. The rotating ice edges are not cold air but sword energy. The sharp sword energy is layered on top of each other, forming dense clouds and mist.
Such a sharp sword cloud can naturally cut through the blood cloud easily.
Even though the blood cloud was extremely powerful, it was cut open and scattered like tofu. It could only shrink quickly until it was cut into pieces by Wanjian.
In the blood cloud, Xia Ruoxue held a huge white bone blood demon knife, and when she slashed, it was like a blood dragon rolling, with astonishing power.
But facing the approaching Jian Yun, he was still powerless.
The dragon beast was cut through, the dragon scales were torn off, and the blood cloud entrenched by the blood dragon was about to be completely reduced to nothing.
This was a sword formation jointly performed by twelve Rongling Realm monks. Xia Ruoxue, even though she had unrivaled magical power, could not match it.
