Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

"Get out of here!"

Cui Lin had a ferocious expression. Driven by his desire to survive, he burst out with all his strength and slashed down at Han Ruyan with the Dragon Scale Mountain-Smashing Halberd in his hand, trying to break through the obstruction of Han Ruyan and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"curse!"

Han Ruyan had no expression on her face and just tapped her fingers lightly.

The terrifying invisible curse attached itself to Cui Lin. If the Purple Mansion cultivator had an extremely strong and masculine Yang God, he would still be able to resist the curse, but Cui Lin only had a physical body, so he could only take on Han Ruyan's curse.

Under the surging curse, countless rotten wounds appeared on Cui Lin's body, and his pair of dark green eyeballs grew fleshy whiskers that drilled into his brain.

Then, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner formation descended, and the Yellow Springs River swept Cui Lin into it. A mountain of knives fell from the sky and continued to cut his flesh, like a slow slicing.

Millions of ghosts followed Han Ruyan's curse, frantically gnawing at every inch of his flesh and blood, tearing his skin and leaving rows of teeth marks.

Su Jie also arrived at this time, and the holy Bodhi tree moved with Su Jie, and its roots pierced through his body.

boom!
With the Brahma Pagoda in his palm, Su Jie waved his hand and pressed it on Cui Lin's face.

When the Brahma Pagoda fell, Cui Lin's teeth were instantly broken and his facial features were completely disfigured.

When Cui Lin wanted to retreat, Han Ruyan grabbed with her bare hands, and millions of ghosts were continuously compressed, turning into a bone soul sword in her hand, which directly cut Cui Lin in half.

Then Su Jie held up the holy Bodhi tree with his hands and directly suppressed Cui Lin, making him unable to move.

"Finish work."

Su Jie clapped his hands with a calm expression.

Han Ruyan landed beside Su Jie and looked at Cui Lin, who was still struggling in vain but could not escape the suppression of the Holy Bodhi Tree. She said, "It's a pity that without the Yang God, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner can't strengthen it too much."

“Su Sujie, no, Master Su, our Cui family can serve you as their master.”

When Cui Lin heard Han Ruyan's words, his eyes were full of fear of death and desire to live. He loudly begged Su Jie for mercy. At this time, he no longer dared to call him a junior, but called out Sect Master Su's name.

"A dead family is a good family."

Su Jie walked up to Cui Lin step by step and spoke with a smile.

Cui Lin's eyes widened, feeling the murderous intent surging from Su Jie, and said unwillingly: "I am looking for the man of destiny for Tianyan Holy Land. If you kill me, Tianyan Holy Land will blame everything on you."

"The man of destiny?"

Su Jie raised his eyebrows. This word was interesting.

"Those who are born to meet disasters and are blessed with destiny are called people of destiny. Whenever there is a great conflict, people of destiny will appear in large numbers. This is also the key to breaking through the Cavernous Realm. Su Jie, you are also a person of destiny in this generation. Do you want to know the secrets of the Cavernous Realm? Just let me go and I will tell you everything."

Cui Lin thought he saw a chance to survive, and his eyes lit up.

As long as he is given the opportunity, with his knowledge, he will definitely be able to escape from Su Jie's control and even counterattack.

However, just as Cui Lin finished his words, Su Jie suddenly grabbed the holy Bodhi tree and smashed it down, smashing his head to pieces.

Because he had no Yang Shen, Cui Lin was directly smashed to death by Su Jie, without any chance for his Yang Shen to leave his body.

Gululu.

One of Cui Lin's eyeballs rolled to Su Jie's feet, and he seemed to be still staring at Su Jie unwillingly. It could be said that he died with his eyes open. He didn't expect Su Jie to be so decisive and ruthless.

At this point, the ancestor of the Cui family died at the hands of Su Jie.

"Haha, you still want to seduce me. I'm not that curious. You should just die in peace."

Su Jie slowly took back the Holy Bodhi Tree, picked up the Dragon Scale Mountain-Smashing Halberd, and said these words to Cui Lin's body on the ground.

What is Tianyan Holy Land? What is the Man of Destiny? Although Su Jie is curious, he knows very well that villains die because of talking too much.

Who knows how many troubles will arise if we keep a Purple Mansion expert like Cui Lin around? It would be much easier to kill him outright.

At the same time, on another battlefield, Cui Huaian lay on the ground with extensive lacerations all over his body, his hands and limbs twisted into a knot, and he was dying.

And his original mid-grade spiritual treasure, the Five Elements Mountain and River Ruler, had already fallen into the mouth of the Thousand-Armed Centipede.

"Ahem! When the ancestor comes, you, a bug, will be buried with me."

Cui Huaian was vomiting blood and his face was grim. He was badly beaten in the fight with the Thousand-Armed Centipede. He could only put all his hopes on Cui Lin.

As long as his invincible ancestor can get rid of Su Jie, the top-grade nine-refined poisonous insect in front of him can be easily destroyed.

Just as Cui Huaian was thinking this, a figure fell from the sky, and at the same time a laugh was heard.

"Master Cui, you can't hold on any longer. Your Cui family is really weak!"

Su Jie landed in front of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, and when he looked down and saw Cui Huaian's expression, he couldn't help but laugh. It was obvious that Cui Huaian, who relied on forcibly increasing his combat power, was tortured badly by the Thousand-Handed Centipede.

"Why is it you, my ancestor?"

When Cui Huaian saw Su Jie, he suddenly thought of a possibility, a fact that he was unwilling to admit.

"Oh, I just sent your ancestor away, and it will be your turn soon."

Su Jie spoke casually while stroking the shrunken Thousand-Armed Centipede.

Cui Huaian's pupils dilated instantly, and his dying body trembled violently. He looked at Su Jie in disbelief that his ancestor would actually be defeated by Su Jie.

"Not only will you die, but the entire Cui family will also be destroyed. This is the fate of going against our Guiling Palace."

Su Jie didn't say any more nonsense. He took a step forward and trampled Cui Huaian into a pulp, leaving no intact body.

Looking up, Su Jie looked at the Cui family's Yantai Fortress in the distance, which was full of howling and fleeing, and was slaughtered by righteous and evil monks. The place was already covered with layers of blood, and a smile appeared on his face: "Well, I wonder how much wealth the Cui family can contribute this time. A thousand-year-old family, please don't let me down!"

"Guiling Palace invaded the Cui clan's territory in Qingzhou and slaughtered tens of thousands of Cui clan members!"

"One of the five most famous families in the world - Cui family, was destroyed by Guiling Palace!"

"The ancestor of the Cui family was born, but he was unable to resist the monstrous power of the blood demon ancestor, and died as soon as he was born."

A few days later, in Dali City, one after another of the court reports were circulated. Court reports had been around in Dali City for many years, and were mostly opened by some merchants, specializing in collecting news from all over the country, printing and selling it, claiming to be able to read all the big and small things in the world on one piece of paper.

But there has never been a day when the sales of official newspapers were so high that all the official newspapers were sold out.

It was because the entire Cui family, one of the five great families, was slaughtered by the Guiling Palace. The news that the thousand-year-old family had disappeared was too horrifying.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the whole world. No matter whether it was the major sects or aristocratic families, no matter whether it was independent cultivators or the royal family, they were all shocked by this shocking news that spread across the country.

The five great families have been passed down for thousands of years, sharing weal and woe with the dynasty, and have stood firm through the changes of several dynasties. But now they have been destroyed by the Guiling Palace.

A court meeting was held in the Dali Palace specifically for this matter.

This time, when the court meeting just started, all the civil and military officials frequently looked at the Minister of Rites Wen Ziheng. Some were secretly gloating over the demise of the Cui family, while others felt sad for the demise of the Cui family.

Wen Ziheng was in a depressed and listless state, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

He entered the court as an official and rose all the way to the position of Minister of Rites, relying on the Cui family for support.

Now that this support is gone, there is no way he can be in good shape.

"Minister Wen, I am deeply saddened by your loss."

Wei Yushuang looked at Wen Ziheng with her bright eyes, seemingly trying to comfort him, but the smile on her slightly upturned lips could not be suppressed at all.

A few days ago, she had an argument with Wen Ziheng at the court meeting, but Wen Ziheng at that time refuted her proposal to emulate the Guiling Palace's taxation, mocked Wei Yushuang's audacity, and bluntly stated that his Cui family would not be afraid of the Guiling Palace.

But just a few days later, the Cui family, which had been glorious for a thousand years, collapsed, and Wen Ziheng became a lonely man.

How could Wei Yushuang not feel gloating over what Wen Ziheng said and did?

She hated the aristocratic families the most, especially the five biggest aristocratic families, which were the five biggest and fattest rats. They only knew how to make money, but never spend it. They never paid any taxes to the court, and ended up in ruin. It can only be said that they deserved to die. Guiling Palace did what she wanted to do.

Wen Ziheng's lips trembled, and he didn't say a word for a long time. He no longer had the high spirits he once had.

He could never have imagined that what Wei Yushuang said would eventually come true.

Feeling the gazes of the civil and military officials around him, Wen Ziheng felt that they were all laughing at him. Suddenly, a nameless fire ignited, making him completely lose his composure and curse: "It's you, it's you who harmed our Cui family. It's all your royal family's fault. If it weren't for your royal family allowing Guiling Palace to do whatever it wants, how could our Cui family have suffered such a tragic situation."

"You are talking nonsense. How dare you slander His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, Minister Wen has gone crazy."

"It's insulting, it's really insulting. No wonder the Cui family is destroyed."

Civil and military officials all blamed Wen Ziheng. Now that the Cui family has fallen, everyone naturally will not be afraid of Wen Ziheng's background.

"Drag him away and give him fifty strokes of the cane."

Wei Sheng looked angry, but Wen Ziheng did not practice much.

Even talented children would not be sent to serve as officials in the court. Fifty strokes of the cane are simply not something an ordinary person can endure, and he would be beaten to death.

But no one spoke for Wen Ziheng, and everyone just watched coldly.

Even the friends that Wen Ziheng had made in the officialdom in the past turned their heads away, as if they could not bear to watch the tragedy.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare my life."

Wen Ziheng finally realized that he had said the wrong thing. He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly until he was dragged away by the palace guards. His crying continued all the way outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, the destruction of the Cui family by Guiling Palace has caused great trouble. The five great families have always been united. This hatred is as deep as the sea, and it may lead to a large-scale war between the two sides."

Minister of Revenue Zuo Min stepped forward and suddenly made a proposal.

The Guiling Palace is powerful. If we can use the help of the aristocratic families to make them fight with the Guiling Palace, no matter who wins or loses, the status of the royal family will be greatly consolidated.

The five great families were defeated and their power was weakened, so the royal family could take advantage of the situation to collect taxes and control more power.

Even if Guiling Palace was defeated, the royal family would be able to quell the demonic threat in the south and no longer have to worry about Guiling Palace moving north one day in the future.

"The Cui family is the Cui family, and the five great families are the five great families. We can't generalize."

The Minister of Works Xu Qing gave a dry cough. Although he was not from one of the five great families, his wife's family was from the Lianzhou Li family, one of the five great families.

"Your Majesty, the five great families are the foundation of the country. It is unwise to let them clash with the Guiling Palace."

"The Cui family has been destroyed. The remaining four great families are the foundation of the family. No more losses can be made."

"What Guiling Palace needs now is restraint, not a continued large-scale war. Your Majesty, our Dali Dynasty cannot afford to be tossed around any more."

One by one, officials came out to ask for instructions. If you look carefully, you will find that these officials are either directly from the five major families or have connections with the five major families.

The five great families received the news of the Cui family's demise no later than the royal family, and the other four great families had already reached an agreement that they would not take the initiative to wade into muddy waters and work for the royal family.

Anyway, their territory is not under the jurisdiction of Guiling Palace, so there is no need for them to act as pawns of the royal family and fight to the death with the evil leaders of Guiling Palace.

"The five great families have always been closely related and have been related by marriage. Now it seems that they are just casual acquaintances after all."

When Wei Yushuang saw this scene, she couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

When facing the imperial power, the five major families stick together, but when facing the Guiling Palace, they each look after themselves. Wei Yushuang feels a kind of powerless anger in his heart. In terms of deterrence, the Dali Dynasty is not as good as the Guiling Palace now.

Xu Qing heard this and said, "Princess, you can't say that. If the major families retaliate, it will only cause great suffering to the people of the world. It's not that we won't take revenge, but the time has not come yet."

"Humph, a bunch of bullies who only care about the weak and fear the strong."

Wei Yushuang snorted coldly, having already seen through the true faces of these aristocratic families.

"The Guiling Palace is now very powerful, so we need to exercise restraint and let it go for now. The royal family needs time to recuperate."

Wei Sheng spoke slowly. He already understood the attitude of the aristocratic families, but these words also announced that this court meeting would be a failure.

Faced with the threat of the three purple palaces in Guiling Palace, the royal family had no choice but to compromise. (End of this chapter)
