"I have no intention of starting a conflict with the Luo Family, but you should know—" Ying Zijin said indifferently, "it's not that I'm afraid of your Luo Family, but rather that your Luo Family is worthless."

Luo Ziqiu couldn't even lift his head, his body constantly trembling.

Di Wu Shaoxian was already an outstanding talent, but could one even imagine the existence of his master?

How could the Luo Family dare to compare?

Ying Zijin easily killed the giant serpent that had entrenched itself in the imperial capital for a hundred years, along with the Great Elder of the Xie Family.

Bear in mind, when the Great Elder of the Xie Family was alive, his fame and power had already once overshadowed Di Wu Chuan and Sikong Shan.

Not to mention, the Xie Family was the number one family in the Ancient Martial World.

Yet, the Xie Family didn't dare utter a word.

Luo Ziqiu, being far away in Luonan, naturally had never entered the Ancient Martial World.

He was even more unaware that the Xie Family had been annihilated last year, and that the Ancient Martial World had changed entirely.

Ying Zijin's eyelashes drooped, her fingers tapping lightly on the table: "What does the Gu Family say?"

"Miss Ying! Master Ying! Ancestor!" The Patriarch of the Gu Family no longer had his previous arrogance and overbearing manner. He knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically, "It's all my fault for not teaching my daughter well, Master Ying, please forgive her momentary ignorance, have mercy, Master Ying!"

Gu Hongxiu sat numbly on the ground, unable to speak anymore.

Her mind buzzed, and a metallic taste rose in her throat.

Whom on earth had she offended?!

What stroke of luck did Di Wu Yue have, to have such a powerful master?

"Such poorly taught daughter," Ying Zijin smiled slightly, "so are you going to share your daughter's punishment?"

The Patriarch of the Gu Family trembled: "Master Ying?"

"Don't worry, I'm a reasonable person," Ying Zijin nodded, "We shall handle everything according to the rules. In the Mystical Sect, how should malicious use of the Witch Gu Technique against comrades be dealt with?"

Sikong Shan shivered and blurted out, "Naturally, we should repay in kind."

"Good." Ying Zijin nodded, "Then let's do that."

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Sikong Shan perked up, "Master Ying, I—"

"No need." Ying Zijin raised her hand to stop him, "You are not a member of the Di Wu Family, there's no need for you to get involved in this cause and effect. I can handle it."

Gu Hongxiu's eyes widened in panic suddenly: "No… I don't want it!"

Her divination ability was certainly not stronger than Ying Zijin's.

If Ying Zijin were to use the Witch Gu Technique on her, how long could she last?

The Patriarch of the Gu Family also panicked and started kowtowing again: "Spare us, Master Ying, Ancestor, spare us!"

Ying Zijin's brows were cold and calm, holding two pieces of wood in her hand.

Under the effect of inner strength, these two pieces of wood quickly turned into the shape of puppets.

Ying Zijin slightly closed her eyes.

She didn't want to recall that day either.

Di Wu Yue had clearly suffered great backlash because of calculating her heart, but still knelt down stubbornly, saying—

Apprentice, thanks to you, Master.

Di Wu Yue was mischievous and liked to stir up trouble, so she would protect her.

Whoever bullied Di Wu Yue, she would retaliate.

Ying Zijin glanced at the Patriarch of the Gu Family and Gu Hongxiu, then carved all their birthdates onto the puppets.

Once she finished making them, she handed the two puppets to Di Wu Chuan: "Take them away."

Di Wu Chuan took them: "Yes, Master Ancestor."

The Patriarch of the Gu Family was utterly despairing: "Master Ying! The Gu Family was wrong, really wrong!"

They had never taken Di Wu Yue seriously back then, who could have predicted today's scene?

"As for you, since you've broken off the engagement with Yueyue, then it's as we said before." Ying Zijin didn't even look at Luo Ziqiu, speaking indifferently, "The cause and effect is severed, irrelevant."

Luo Ziqiu felt a bitter pang in his heart, kowtowed a few times, and said with difficulty: "Yes, Master Ying."

If he'd known that Di Wu Yue's master was the very master their Luo Family had painstakingly attempted to form ties with, how could he have ended the engagement with her?

If the Luo Family hadn't been so aggressive at the time, wouldn't he have married Di Wu Yue and had the backing he desired?

It was clear that Ying Zijin had already surpassed all in the Mystical Sect, reaching a level they could only look up to.

Luo Ziqiu's thoughts were chaotic, regret flooding his heart, suffocatingly oppressive.

But being able to go back unscathed was already a great fortune.

However, Luo Ziqiu knew, the Luo Family was done for.

With Sikong Shan and Di Wu Chuan holding the fort here, within a day, Ying Zijin's identity would be spread throughout the Mystical Sect.

And now that Luo Xiu's abilities had been crippled, the Luo Family had lost its main pillar.

Luo Ziqiu was a bit at a loss.

How on earth did things escalate to this point?

**

Indeed, it didn't take a day for the news to spread uncontrollably.

The Hua Country's Mystical Sect was thoroughly shaken.

"This Luo Family and Gu Family have really been so domineering over in Luonan." Sikong Shan shook his head, "Indeed, there will always come a day when they'll fall."
