The Snake Sect disciple with a comely face nervously answered my question.

I thought to myself, no wonder they're all heading east, they're fighting at my residence.

While I was asking, another wave of Snake Sect disciples rushed east to watch the commotion.

We also followed the crowd and went along.

The Lotus Pond courtyard was full of onlookers, who immediately stepped aside when they saw me and Yu Longting, making way for us.

As I looked into the room, Chang Hao stood anxiously at the door, "What on earth did Liu Hongluan do to offend Senior Yun so much that you must kill her?"

"Get lost, or I'll slaughter you too." Yun Hao stood solemnly in the room, raising one arm high with long fingers tightly clutching Liu Hongluan's neck. "Lick it clean, or die."

Liu Hongluan's hands gripped Yun Hao's wrist tightly, though her attempt to pry it open was futile.

Her legs kicked desperately, only able to make a broken sound intermittently, "Just kill me! This... is the Snake Sect, every snake that sees your slaughter... every snake... will remember this grudge... in the future..."

From the look of Liu Hongluan's complexion, it seemed she had tainted her energy by soaking in the evil aura, causing her cultivation to regress significantly.

It seemed she'd downgraded from a Transformed Python to a regular python.

Even her beauty had greatly diminished; though her features hadn't changed, she was no longer as stunning and radiant.

Like a somewhat withered flower...

I squinted, scrutinizing the scene before me, sharing the same confusion as Chang Hao.

With Yun Hao's reclusive and solitary nature, he wouldn't bother with Liu Hongluan at all.

Even if Liu Hongluan initiated provocation, he would simply walk out of her sight, leaving Liu Hongluan unable to chase him, let alone provoke Yun Hao to fury to the point of murder.

Such a cold and aloof personality, he was definitely unique within the entire Snake Tribe.

Liu Hongluan didn't even know Yun Hao, neither would she dare foolishly provoke the former overlord of the dark path with her courage.

"You two are finally back! Please help persuade him," Chang Hao pleaded urgently when he spotted me and Yu Longting. "With my humble cultivation, I'm truly no match for this... Senior Yun."

I gave Chang Hao a reassuring look and said to Yu Longting, "I'll go talk to him."

"I'll trouble Madam then." Yu Longting raised an eyebrow, displaying an attitude of watching a play.

I twitched my mouth and walked towards Yun Hao, softly inquiring, "It's not like you to have a problem with a junior, even if she hits you or insults you, you might not even acknowledge her. What's the real reason?"

"You do understand me, but she's committed an unforgivable crime." Yun Hao's eyes were cold and indifferent, his expression harrowing and dark.

His fingers slowly tightened around Liu Hongluan's neck, almost choking the life out of her.

The other Snake Eyes were all stunned, urgently asking Yu Longting to stop Yun Hao from killing someone in the Snake Sect.

Recently, Liu Hongluan's connection to the snakes had indeed worsened significantly due to her antics.

But for an outsider from the dark path to wreak havoc here and threaten to kill someone from their Snake Sect, it would definitely incite unanimous opposition from all disciples here.

I furrowed my brows. If Yun Hao wasn't truly pushed to the limit, why would he be forced to say such words?

Yet if Yun Hao didn't explain the reason, these Snake Sect disciples certainly wouldn't accept it.

It seems I have to press him further, otherwise, this could escalate.

Before I could open my mouth, I saw Yun Hao's ice-cold gaze meet Yu Longting's. His lips moved as he slowly said, "Dad, once you know the reason, you'll want to kill this bitch even more than I do."

Suddenly understanding, Yu Longting's sleeve flashed forth a long sword, his eyes more terrifying than the depths of Hell, a cold and arrogant aura overwhelming and instantly surpassing Yun Hao's. "Liu Hongluan, lick it clean, or your entire Liu family will accompany you to the grave!"
