Witnessing Elder He injured and spitting blood, everyone felt an inparable shock in their hearts.
Just a single glance, and an Outer Elder was forced to cough up blood!
Luo Cheng was equally surprised.
He knew Yun Mengli was strong but had never imagined she was this powerful!
This level of strength surely surpassed the Awakening Vein Realm, perhaps even higher!
Elder He’s face turned extremely grim. The very situation he dreaded most had e to pass. He quickly said:
"Yun Mengli, Luo Cheng has cruelly killed his fellow disciples, disobeyed the elders, and mitted cold-blooded murder in public—his sins are unforgivable! I was merely enforcing justice! If you still insist on shielding him, we can head to the Punishment Hall together and let the Elders of Punishment reach a verdict!"
"Oh?"
Yun Mengli slightly raised her elegant brows, her expression unreadable.
"Senior Sister Yun, it’s not like that! During the Green Cloud Trial, it was Lin Jintai who wanted to kill Luo Cheng, and Luo Cheng only..."
Unable to hold back, Yuan Zhilan stepped forward to defend Luo Cheng.
Yun Mengli simply raised her hand to silence Yuan Zhilan. Fixing her gaze on Elder He, she said flatly, "The truth doesn’t matter. What matters is, Luo Cheng is one of mine. Hurting him is a provocation against me."
"Perfect timing. Many people begrudge my promotion to True Disciple. Today, I will take your life to establish my authority."
Upon hearing this, Elder He’s face changed dramatically. "Yun Mengli! Are you really going to kill me for the sake of a mere servant disciple? Do you even acknowledge the laws of the sect anymore? Do you have no fear of the Sect Rules?"
Yun Mengli sneered coldly:
"As a True Disciple, I hold the power of life and death. My words are the law!"
"You dared to challenge my authority—killing you is justice!"
Her voice distant and detached, Yun Mengli rose into the air as she spoke. From her form emerged a massive bird radiating blue flames, its ten stars shining brilliantly!
The azure bird exuded an aura of ancient majesty, as if it had traversed time itself. The moment it appeared, an overwhelming presence erupted from Yun Mengli that seemed to mand reverence over the world. The temperature of the entire square instantly soared.
"Ah! The Green Bird Martial Soul! Yun Mengli, if you dare kill me, you won’t escape judgment either!"
Elder He, sensing Yun Mengli’s profound killing intent, was stricken with terror. With a frantic roar, he turned and fled toward the depths of the sect.
As long as he reached the Punishment Hall, Yun Mengli wouldn’t be able to harm him!
Yun Mengli made no move to pursue him. She simply pressed her clean forefinger against her thumb and flicked lightly.
Hiss!
A speck of pea-sized green flame shot through the air, landing squarely on Elder He.
"Ahhhhhhh..."
The moment the flame struck, Elder He’s entire body was engulfed in fire. Even his Protective Essence Energy was ignited, and in an instant, he was reduced to ashes, pletely obliterated, leaving behind only echoes of his anguished screams.
The square fell deathly silent; everyone stared at Yun Mengli, not daring to even breathe too loudly.
To kill an Outer Elder with a simple flick of the finger—such unyielding dominance!
"Her words are law! What absolute tyranny! This is what it means to be a True Disciple—holding the power over life and death in a single word!"
Luo Cheng, too, was deeply shaken.
After eliminating Elder He, Yun Mengli turned her gaze toward the three elders who had previously sided with him:
"You also wished to kill Luo Cheng, didn’t you?"
"This isn’t good!"
The faces of the three elders turned pale with horror.
One of them exclaimed in alarm, "Yun Mengli! You’ve already killed Elder He, and you still want to kill us? Even though you’re a True Disciple, you can’t do whatever you want! I take orders from Nangong Jue, the True Disciple. If you kill me, how will you account for it?"
"Nangong Jue? If he desires an explanation, I’ll give him one myself."
Yun Mengli’s voice was indifferent. As she spoke, her fingers flicked again, unleashing three green flames that soared like streaking bolts of lightning toward the three elders.
The three elders were terrified, their faces drained of color, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Escape was out of the question; against absolute power, fleeing was futile!
"Yun Mengli, stop this!"
At that moment, a harsh shout echoed through the air.
With the sound, a golden beam descended from the sky, blocking the platform in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The newer’s hand extended forward, his five fingers seemingly forged from gold, effortlessly extinguishing the three green flames.
As the golden light dispersed, a man with narrow eyes and an air of nobility stepped forward.
"Jin Min!"
Luo Cheng recognized the man, his pupils contracting slightly.
"Jin Min! Please save us!"
The three Outer Elders, seeing Jin Min, looked as if they had seen their savior and rushed toward him in desperation.
The newer was none other than the Eighth Prince of the Great Yue Dynasty, Jin Min. He cast a cold glance at Luo Cheng, a flash of killing intent in his eyes, before turning to Yun Mengli and saying:
"Yun Mengli, you’ve already killed one person. Are you still not going to stop? And for what? For a worthless piece of trash like him? How many more do you intend to kill before you’re satisfied?"
Jin Min pointed at Luo Cheng.
"They challenged my authority, and death is the only answer. Otherwise, where is the authority of a True Disciple?"
Yun Mengli’s tone was calm as she gazed at Jin Min and said indifferently, "If you wish to save them, let’s see if you can. All you need to do is withstand one move from me, and I will spare their lives."
At these words, Jin Min’s expression darkened.
The next moment!
Boom!
A golden giant monument erupted from Jin Min, soaring into the sky, with nine stars hovering within it as though ready to crush the heavens!
Releasing his Martial Soul, Jin Min stepped forward, fixing his gaze on Yun Mengli: "Don’t think that just because you’ve bee a True Disciple, I fear you. Today, you will not kill them!"
"Oh, really?"
Without further words, Yun Mengli suddenly pointed her finger.
Screech!
A piercing cry resounded in the void as a streak of Green Flame Finger Force shot forward.
Initially the size of a fingertip, the Green Flame Finger Force rapidly expanded, transforming into a gigantic green bird. With a single flap of its wings, fiery whirlwinds surged across the heavens!
"Hmph! Shatter for me!"
Jin Min’s five fingers glimmered brilliantly with golden light. With a claw-like motion in the void, a golden monument over ten feet tall materialized and came crashing down onto the green bird.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion shook the entire square violently.
The currents of air shifted wildly, and even the clouds in the sky were blasted apart!
The green bird was directly split in two by the strike and seemed on the verge of dissipating.
Seeing this, a trace of triumph appeared in Jin Min’s eyes as he stared down Yun Mengli and said arrogantly:
"I told you, you won’t kill them—"
Before he could finish speaking, an abrupt change occurred.
The green bird, cleaved in half by the golden monument, twisted strangely in midair and reformed, diving toward the three Outer Elders.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The three Outer Elders had no time to react before the green flames consumed them. In an instant, they were reduced to ash, leaving no trace behind!
"Yun Mengli, you!"
Jin Min’s fury exploded as he glared at Yun Mengli, his eyes nearly bleeding from anger.
Yun Mengli was indifferent, her expression calm as she said, "Jin Min, if you are dissatisfied with me, you may challenge me at any time."
Jin Min’s face turned ashen, his teeth grinding so hard they seemed on the verge of shattering. Yet, he did not dare to make another move.
The earlier clash had already shown him the gap between his strength and Yun Mengli’s.
Shifting his gaze toward Luo Cheng, Jin Min’s killing intent surged, nearly boiling over.
It was all because of this man that he had been so utterly humiliated today!
Looking at Yun Mengli’s back, Luo Cheng was deeply stirred.
What is true dominance?
This was true dominance!
When she spoke, none dared to disobey!
Silently, Luo Cheng vowed that one day, he too would possess such formidable strength!
A strength that could mand reverence across the world, undefeatable and invincible!
Just then—
Thud!
Not far in front of Luo Cheng, Sha Qi dropped to his knees. He kowtowed to Yun Mengli repeatedly while trembling and pleading:
"Senior Sister, please spare my life! I-I didn’t truly mean to kill Luo Cheng..."
Witnessing the fate of the other elders, Sha Qi had been utterly terrified. The mere thought of Yun Mengli’s whim turning him to ash left him trembling uncontrollably!
