Wild Dogs

Xue Ming was somewhat dissatisfied and casually tossed a token over.

Xueji took the token and laughed heartily.

"Blood Demon, you're actually quite kind."

Xue Ming snorted coldly.

"Do you even need to tell me? I know what I'm doing."

He turned to look at Madam Lianhua and gave a slight bow.

"So it's your sister-in-law."

Lady Lianhua stared coldly at the two of them and let out a heavy snort.

"I had thought you would do some shady things, but I never expected you to be this despicable."

"The sect has treated you well, yet you have let wolves into the house and betrayed the Six Blood Sects."

"Aren't you afraid of being severely punished by your sect when you return to the Great Liang Kingdom?"

Xue Ming shrugged.

"Return to the sect? Who said we were going back?"

"Once I get what's inside, I'll find a safe place to prepare for Nascent Soul formation. Why would I run back to the Blood Fiend Sect?"

"Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"

He then looked at Blood Extreme.

"Brother Xueji, is that what you're planning too?"

Xue Ji nodded repeatedly and then glanced at Lady Lianhua.

"What's there to worry about? Just don't go back."

He paced back and forth a couple of steps, looking down at the barrier.

"The restriction will soon dissipate, and once it's gone, we can set off."

"But surely things won't go wrong with what we agreed on beforehand?"

"That's natural."

Xue Ming patted his chest.

"Since we've agreed to join forces, we'll cooperate fully to the end, without any ulterior motives."

"But can you really bring yourself to do it?"

Xue Ji gave a cold snort.

"What's there to hold me back? I'd do anything to help him achieve Nascent Soul stage."

Listening to their conversation, Yang Fan felt something was off, but he could only lower his head and not say anything more.

Lady Lianhua was furious when she saw that the two of them ignored her. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she was helpless and could only clench her fists.

After a while, the restriction below gradually faded, and many cultivators could no longer wait, so they grabbed their tokens and rushed down.

Lady Lianhua finally couldn't bear it any longer.

"Blood Extreme, what the hell are you doing?"

"I came here with you, but you only have one token. What am I supposed to do?"

Xue Ji glanced at the token in his hand, then glanced at Lady Lianhua.

He stepped forward.

"You're asking about this? Don't worry, I have a way to get you in."

As he spoke, he approached Lady Lianhua and, taking her by surprise, quickly tapped her forehead.

A mark immediately appeared on Lady Lianhua's forehead.

"What are you doing!"

Lady Lianhua found herself completely unable to move, and could only glare angrily at Xueji.

"What are you doing? Didn't you want to go in?"

"I'll turn you into half a puppet, then you can naturally come in with me."

Xue wiped his hands impatiently.

"Blood Extreme, I am your wife..."

Before Lady Lianhua could finish speaking, Xueji shook his head with a cold laugh.

"You mean that fickle, promiscuous woman who seduces her disciples' wives everywhere?"

"Do you think I don't know the shameful things you and your disciples have done over the years?"

Lady Lianhua's face turned deathly pale. She had thought she had kept it a secret perfectly and that Xue Ji knew nothing.

Now that she knows Xue Ji is fully aware of everything and has been holding back, she panicked.

Blood-red furiously pointed at Lady Lianhua.

"From the day we got married, you've been having affairs with all sorts of shady people. Do you think I didn't know?"

Xue Ji named each of the men one by one.

Hearing that Xue Ji knew everything about what she had done over the years, Lady Lianhua's heart sank completely.

She used to think Xue Ji was stupid and clumsy, letting herself be manipulated, and she looked down on him.

Now that she knows Xue Ji not only knows everything but has also been patiently enduring this for so long, she is truly afraid.

"I...I was wrong, please forgive me."

Lady Lianhua hurriedly pleaded.

Xue Ji clenched his fists.

"You're wrong? You don't think you're wrong at all; you're just feeling guilty."

Xue Ji shook his head repeatedly.

"If you really felt you were wrong, you should have admitted it before I even spoke. Admitting your mistake only after I exposed you doesn't mean you're truly repentant."

Xue Ji grew angrier the more he spoke.

"I've tolerated you time and time again, yet you treat me like this. How can I tolerate it any longer?"

He slapped Lady Lianhua hard on the head.

"Snapped!"

Lady Lianhua's head was covered in blood, and fresh blood was flowing freely.

Under Blood Extreme's control, blood congealed into a strange pattern on her forehead.

With her last shred of consciousness, Lady Lianhua pleaded incessantly.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong."

Xue Ji chuckled softly.

"You don't just know you're wrong, you know you're going to die."

He smiled sinisterly, took out a bone nail, and hammered it into Lady Lianhua's waist.

Lady Lianhua froze, instantly floating in mid-air like a living dead.

"Alright, I've finished with my puppets, it's your turn."

Xue Ji looked at Yang Fan, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Blood Demon, if you can't bring yourself to do it, I'll do it for you."

All of this happened so fast that Yang Fan barely had time to react.

He never expected Xue Ji to be so ruthless. Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. The two of them had cultivated together for decades, so there should be some affection between them.

But when Xue Ji strikes, he shows no mercy.

However, upon closer reflection, Yang Fan could understand.

Since Xueji learned of Lianhua's betrayal, he has endured it for far too long, and that little bit of affection he had for her has probably long since worn away.

Looking at Lady Lianhua's unbridled manner, it's clear she despises Xueji from the bottom of her heart. Since she looks down on Xueji, Xueji naturally doesn't need to show any mercy.

Even seeing Xue Ji turn Lady Lianhua into a puppet, Yang Fan still felt a chill run down his spine.

Am I going to be treated like this too?

Thinking of this, Yang Fan hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Master, Master, I will do anything you ask, I will not say a word, I only beg you to spare my life."

Seeing Yang Fan pleading so desperately, Xue Ji shook his head repeatedly.

"I felt something was off about this kid the first time I saw him; he seemed to have the aura of someone I knew before."

"Blood Demon, we must kill him no matter what."

Xue Ming glanced at Yang Fan and shook his head slightly.

"Your wife has high cultivation, so she can still do things even as a puppet. This kid's cultivation is too low; it would be troublesome if he really became a living dead."

"Wouldn't all my efforts have been wasted?"

He glanced at Yang Fan again.

"This kid's cultivation level is too low; I can protect him from being detected by the restrictions."

"After thinking about it carefully, I think there's no need to turn this kid into a puppet. It would be better to bring him in."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ji frowned deeply.

"Isn't this a bad idea? It'll be easier for us to control them if they become puppets."

Xue Ming waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I can control the people I bring in. I'm not like you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Ji's expression turned extremely ugly.

He understood what Xue Ming was alluding to, but he had no answer.

What they said was true.

"Alright, the puppet is ready. Now we should wait for the restrictions to be fully lifted."

"By the way, you should have figured out what's going on inside, right?"
