Chapter 740 - 400: The Si Family’s Lone Daughter, Washing Away Injustice With Blood
Chapter 740: Chapter 400: The Si Family’s Lone Daughter, Washing Away Injustice With Blood
"The Spiritual Power emanating from the Western Emperor Palace just now was... at the Nascent Soul Peak?"
"Was it Lin Yuan?"
"Wow, no way, Lin Yuan is also at the Nascent Soul Peak?! Are Senior Sister Fang and Senior Sister Wei alright?"
Outside the Celestial Tao Fighting Arena, Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe, Mo Xiaolan, Xu Caihe, and Yun Wu were gazing towards the distant Western Emperor Palace.
Countless citizens around also looked towards the Western Emperor Palace, their faces filled with astonishment.
Thick smoke rose from several places within the palace, and arrows could occasionally be seen flying out.
Clearly, something was amiss within the palace.
"How could this happen?"
"What on earth is going on?!"
"Didn’t the Empress and the Emperor just return to the palace?"
"Our West Imperial City has been peaceful for so long, is it about to fall into chaos?"
The people were filled with worry, as the West Imperial Dynasty was the most peaceful among the Four Domains of Hongzhou.
The prosperous age had lasted for many years.
The citizens of West Imperial City were encountering such turmoil for the first time.
Mo Xiaolan looked at the panicked citizens around and showed a look of pity.
Qiu Zhihe suddenly spoke: "Husband, Xiaolan, Caihe, Xiaowu, when the West Imperial City Array is lifted, you must protect the citizens within the city."
Qin Gengyun quickly said: "Wife, are you planning to go to Chang’an Palace alone?"
Qiu Zhihe said: "Husband, rest assured, those useless people from the Three Great Sects cannot do anything to me. I will not kill them all, only those who deserve to die."
"Those who deserve to die?"
Yun Wu was puzzled: "Sister Qiu, who are those who deserve to die?"
Qiu Zhihe said: "Like back when Mo Sha went up Cyan Lotus Mountain and slaughtered our innocent women and children, they all deserve to die!"
Mo Xiaolan asked: "Sister Qiu, there are many disciples of the Three Great Sects in Chang’an Palace, how can you distinguish who went up Cyan Lotus Mountain back then?"
Qiu Zhihe said calmly: "I have already instructed Jian Yue, Jiang Yin, and Su Hongling about this matter."
Qin Gengyun looked towards the distant Western Emperor Palace, seeing a strange red light shooting into the sky, causing the surrounding crowd to exclaim in shock.
"What is that?!"
"Could it be a Demonic Beast attacking the palace?"
"With such an astonishing momentum, could it be an Ancient Demonic Beast?!"
"Is that... Sister Si?" Mo Xiaolan looked at the strange red light soaring into the sky, colliding with a Nascent Soul Peak aura, feeling somewhat worried:
"Lin Yuan is at the Nascent Soul Peak, along with the Golden Snake Guard and the Imperial Army, will Sister Si be alright?"
In the distance, at the Western Emperor Palace, the strange red light clashed with the Nascent Soul Peak Spiritual Power, producing a thunderous roar.
The ground was slightly trembling.
At this moment, a rift suddenly appeared in the sky above the West Imperial City.
This rift slowly expanded until the Guardian Array covering the West Imperial Dynasty disappeared.
"The array over the Imperial City is gone?!"
"What’s happening, what exactly occurred?!"
"Is something major about to happen?!"
The surrounding people exclaimed in confusion, while Qiu Zhihe said to Qin Gengyun:
"Husband, I’ll leave the city’s citizens in your hands."
After speaking, she flickered towards the direction of Chang’an Palace.
"Wife."
Qin Gengyun looked at the charming back that vanished in an instant, then towards the Western Emperor Palace.
"Taoist Friend Si..."
Western Emperor Palace.
"Si Minglan?!"
"The Si Family who was executed for treason twenty years ago?!"
"Is she Si Minglan? Wasn’t the entire Si Family slaughtered?"
"I was just born twenty years ago, what happened?"
Upon hearing Si Minglan’s words, the Imperial Army and Golden Snake Guard looked in astonishment at that enchanting red figure.
This figure stood before the thousands of troops, gazing distantly towards Lin Yuan on the Celestial Martial Hall’s rooftop.
The Western Empress on the rooftop was also dressed in a striking red phoenix robe, facing the red-clad Si Minglan from afar.
Lin Yuan suddenly laughed: "The youngest daughter of the Si Family, you really didn’t die."
Si Minglan sneered: "The Empress didn’t die, the Emperor didn’t die, the Wu Family isn’t exterminated, and the Western Emperor Palace still stands, how dare I die?"
Lin Yuan chuckled: "Can you, alone, kill everyone in the Western Emperor Palace?"
"Naturally, it’s not just me."
Si Minglan waved her hand, and suddenly dense black wooden tablets appeared in the sky.
"Be careful!"
"What kind of Magical Artifact is this?!"
The Imperial Army and Golden Snake Guard were on guard, but in the next moment, they were stunned.
"Not a Magical Artifact?"
"They are... Spiritual Tablets?"
Under countless astonished gazes, these black wooden tablets aligned row by row in the sky, each inscribed with a name.
[Patriarch of the Si Family, Si Yuanwu]
[Matriarch of the Si Family, Zheng Xian]
[First Young Master of the Si Family, Si Chengwu]
[Second Young Master of the Si Family, Si Chengwen]
[Third Young Master of the Si Family, Si Chengqu]
...
A procession of tablets for the deceased, from the patriarch to nine relatives, and even servants of the Si Mansion, arranged row after row in the sky, densely packed, nearly covering half the sky.
Making one’s scalp tingle.
It was unimaginable how many people had died in that treason case twenty years ago.
How much blood was spilled the night the Si Family was exterminated.
The last Spiritual Tablet flew out, inscribed with:
[Fourth Miss of the Si Family, Si Minglan]
The Imperial Army and Golden Snake Guard all looked astonished.
"Si Minglan even prepared her own tablet?"
Si Minglan knelt towards the myriad Spiritual Tablets in the sky, and loudly proclaimed:
"Si Minglan, the fourth daughter of the Si Family, has lived in hiding for twenty years. Today, this unfilial daughter will wash away the Si Family’s injustice for its one hundred seventy heroic souls, and personally slay our enemies!"
"Today, life for life, blood to cleanse injustice!"
Si Minglan kowtowed three times heavily towards the countless Spiritual Tablets in the sky before rising, slowly walking towards the Celestial Martial Hall.
Ahead were a thousand Imperial Army, a thousand Golden Snake Guard, and on the rooftops around the palace stood a thousand Divine Bows, all aimed at Si Minglan.
Lin Yuan coldly said: "Kill her."
Suddenly, a hundred Imperial Army and a hundred Golden Snake Guard moved simultaneously.
In an instant, countless Sword Qi and Sword Aura, Magical Artifacts and Spiritual Pressure all surged towards Si Minglan.
In Si Minglan’s eyes, the red light flickered, and the tide-like Sword Qi and Sword Aura all vanished without a trace.
This red light swept over the hundred Imperial Army and hundred Golden Snake Guard who had acted.
They hesitated for a moment and then turned to attack their comrades!
Two hundred men actually began to kill each other!
"What is going on?!"
"Don’t approach her, shoot arrows!"
The Imperial Army Commander shouted, and the sound of bowstrings from the Divine Bows was continuous, as countless arrows imbued with strong Spiritual Power shot out.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Screams rang out as these archers began drawing bows and shooting at each other!
"What, what kind of Demon Technique is this?!"
Thousands of faces showed fear, and someone suddenly exclaimed:
"Quick, look, Si Minglan she..."
Everyone looked towards Si Minglan, and was suddenly filled with terror.
They saw behind that seductive figure were six snow-white fox tails!
The six fox tails shimmered with an enchanting red light, swaying lightly, captivating the soul!
"Demonic Fox?"
"Ancient Divine Beast, Nine-tailed Demon Fox?!"
"The lone survivor of the Si Family actually practiced Demon Techniques?!"
Amidst a burst of astonished exclamations, Si Minglan walked gracefully, with an enchanting yet coldly murderous smile in her eyes:
"The old events from twenty years ago bear no relation to the young ones; those under thirty may leave on their own."
"But if you intend to stop me, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
