With a sword in one hand and Yu Rongrong's head held in the other, Qian Xunji walked step by step toward the two kneeling on the ground with a cold face.

Qian Xunji stopped and looked at Yu Fengzhi kneeling on the ground.

"Sect Master Yu, how have you been?" Qian Xunji said calmly, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

Yu Fengzhi raised his head, his face full of disbelief, his voice hoarse:

"Angel Douluo... Qian Xunji!"

"Oh, don't you know me?" Qian Xunji sneered.

Yu Fengzhi's mind was in complete turmoil. Wasn't Qian Xunji wanted by the Haotian Palace across the entire continent? Wasn't it rumored that he had long since died from severe injuries? How could he suddenly appear here, and with such strength!

and many more!

Yu Fengzhi suddenly realized. That child named Qian San, whose martial soul was the Blue Silver Spider, and Qian Xunji said he was his son... that was the bloodline of that 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Spider King!

Yu Fengzhi dared not think any further; the more he knew, the faster he would die. The most crucial thing now was how to survive. He didn't dare look at Yu Rongrong, whom Qian Xunji was holding, and immediately lowered his head.

"Your Majesty..." Yu Fengzhi said humbly.

"I was momentarily confused and too eager to admit his talent, which is why I offended you. But I really didn't know... that young master was actually your son. If I had known, how could I have dared to come? Please, Your Majesty, show mercy and forgive us this time."

"Oh? Okay."

Qian Xunji readily agreed. After saying that, he actually closed his eyes and casually swung the super artifact [Angel's Oath] to the side.

Swah——

A blinding golden light flashed by.

"Ah!" Chen Rong, who had been kneeling beside him, let out a muffled groan that he tried his best to suppress. His left arm was severed at the root! Blood gushed out instantly, staining the ground red.

At the same time, a distinct fluctuation of soul power emanated from the wound on the severed left arm, clearly containing a piece of soul bone.

Qian Xunji slowly opened her eyes, looked at the severed arm on the ground, and said with feigned surprise, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I had my eyes closed just now, so I don't know who I hit. I hope I didn't hit any of the flowers or plants around here?"

Chen Rong trembled all over in pain, but he dared not utter a single word in rebuttal. He gritted his teeth and forcibly activated the soul power within his body to seal the wound and stop the bleeding, while lowering his head and cooperating with Qian Xunji's words with utter humiliation.

"No... Your Majesty is so kind, how could you possibly harm the flowers and plants?"

Seeing this, Yu Fengzhi felt utterly bitter, yet dared not utter a sound. He quickly followed up, "Your Majesty, Fengzhi knows his mistake. When I return, I will offer the most generous apology, guaranteeing Your Majesty's satisfaction!"

Qian Xunji ignored Yu Fengzhi's promise and turned to look at Dugu Bo, who was hiding behind him.

"Old Poisoner, the soul bone in that severed arm is yours."

Dugu Bo was watching the show from behind when he heard this and was stunned. What does this have to do with me?

He quickly stepped forward and said loudly, "Thank you so much for your kindness, senior!"

With that, Dugu Bo waved his hand, his soul power sweeping out and directly pulling Chen Rong's severed arm into his grasp. He briefly examined it with his soul power and was immediately overjoyed. The soul power fluctuations of this arm bone were extremely strong, indicating it was at least a top-grade piece aged over fifty thousand years.

Dugu Bo was secretly delighted. He hadn't even used a single soul skill today; he'd simply stood by and gotten a high-grade soul bone for free. Following this guy, there was definitely something to gain.

Yu Fengzhi and Chen Rong watched as their family's resources were taken away, and they dared not speak out in anger, so they could only keep their heads down.

Qian Xunji quietly looked at the two people kneeling in front of him, and began to make plans in his mind.

Should we kill them now?

Killing them outright would certainly be satisfying, but it would cause a lot of trouble afterward. The Seven Treasures Overlord Pagoda Sect is one of the three upper sects, with numerous disciples and a deep foundation. Even if the sect leader and the guardian elders are killed, there will always be some who slip through the net and spread the news.

His primary task now is to lead a group to explore the outer realms; he simply doesn't have much time to stay in this world to deal with the mess left by a major sect. Being watched and targeted for revenge by a group of people lurking in the shadows is a very annoying feeling.

However, it is clearly impossible to let them go so easily.

After thinking it over, Qian Xunji suddenly smiled.

"Sect Master Yu," Qian Xunji began slowly and deliberately.

"I remember that the three upper sects have always been closely connected and supported each other, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Fengzhi assumed that Qian Xunji was going to reminisce about the past, and he nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes! Your Majesty is absolutely right! The three upper sects are of the same blood and lineage, this has always been the rule."

Qian Xunji looked at him, her tone suddenly turning serious: "Where were you when I was being hunted down by the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect was forced to close its gates?"

Yu Fengzhi cursed inwardly, "Fellowships my foot! Who dared to provoke the Haotian Palace back then?"

But he could only force a smile and say, "Feng Zhi was foolish back then, his strength was weak, and he actually flinched... It was Feng Zhi's fault."

"You really are something else, you get confused when something big happens!" Qian Xunji sneered.

"Fine, the death penalty may be spared, but punishment is inevitable."

"You immediately send a message to the sect, ordering Gu Xin to go to the Haotian Palace and hunt down all the promising talents of this year's Haotian Academy. Except for those so-called Platinum Generation members, kill the rest. Then, bring me their heads."

Upon hearing this condition, Yu Fengzhi froze completely.

"This...this...this..." Yu Fengzhi was drenched in cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, it's a universally accepted rule that no faction should assassinate the other's talented young talents in secret. If I send someone to kill someone from the Haotian Palace, I'll completely break that rule, and the Haotian Palace might very well launch a full-scale war against us!"

"Rules?" Qian Xunji's eyes instantly turned dangerous.

"You came to kidnap my son in the middle of the night, what kind of rule is that?"

Qian Xunji's patience ran out, and he lifted Yu Rongrong up and placed her in front of Yu Fengzhi.

A golden light shone from his hand, and his divine soul power pressed directly against the back of Yu Rongrong's head. If he released even a tiny bit of his soul power, Yu Rongrong's head would explode like a watermelon.

"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Either send the message now, or the three of you will die here today. I want to see if a dead sect leader can still enforce the rules."

Feeling the imminent threat of death and hearing her daughter's terrified sobs, Yu Fengzhi's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

"I'll do it, I'll do it! Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

Yu Fengzhi's hands trembled as he pulled a communication gem that emitted a strange light from his storage ring.

He found this gem in an ancient ruin using his martial spirit's treasure-hunting ability. It's a pair of mother and child stones, capable of instantly transmitting information regardless of distance, but the mother stone can only be used five times in total. He'd already used two for testing, and now only had three chances left.

But at this moment, Yu Fengzhi no longer cared about the loss of this rare treasure.
