Chapter 462

It turned out that Si Fang had activated the gu insects, wanting A Zhi to block the sword for herself.

But before A Zhi could even run over, the Five Poisons Sect people cut her in half at the waist.

Jin Ying rushed over, unable to bear it, but still failed to save her.

A Zhi could only reach out, unwilling and full of regret, to touch Jin Ying's face.

"Grand Master Uncle..."

"We and Mother, we were all wrong..."

"Please, bury us... on Witch Moon Mountain..."

Having said that, she died with her eyes open in Jin Ying's arms.

The slaughter was so chaotic that even Li Qingluo didn't notice, and those few of them were already dead.

Jin Ying gripped her sword and walked toward Jin Jingxue.

"You are the last one."

"Wait until you die."

"I will still go to Cloud Valley, to your Union Harmony Sect, and to the Five Poisons Sect. I will wipe out your three great sects just as we Witch Moon Sect were wiped out."

"A Xue, what do you say?"

Jin Ying spoke while tears streamed down.

It turned out that she had known Jin Jingxue since childhood.

Jin Jingxue is the sect master of the Union Harmony Sect.

There has been no shortage of Jin Ying's behind-the-scenes support for her over the years.

Originally, the Witch Moon Sect and the Union Harmony Sect should have been the two sects on the best terms in MiaoJiang.

However, Jin Jingxue, together with Cloud Valley, stabbed Jin Ying in the back with the deepest blow.

The Witch Moon Sect is gone.

How could she, Jin Jingxue, and the Union Harmony Sect possibly continue to live?

Jin Ying's eyes were filled with ruthless intent.

Jin Jingxue, however, plopped down onto the ground.

"A Ying... no, it's them who forced me!"

"Really, A Ying."

"This is what Si Fang said: if we don't act together, the court will turn its attention to our several sects."

"Our Union Harmony Sect excels at witchcraft and bewitching bones; the aristocratic families of DaLiang have long salivated over our witch maidens, wishing everyone could have one."

"That's why I must protect them!"

"A Ying, can you understand me?"

Jin Ying angrily slashed her hamstring with a sword: "So you want to kill all the disciples of my Witch Moon Sect?!"

"Jin Jingxue, are you even still human?!"

"Only the lives of your Union Harmony Sect people count as human lives; must all the disciples of my Witch Moon Sect die?!"

"Moreover... Dong Si Yuan, you clearly know that I have never forgotten him these years."

"I finally managed to lure him back."

"But he was, wasn't he, killed by your own hands?"

"The fatal wound on his body was inflicted by your weapon; I won't mistake it!"

"Jin Jingxue, I will kill you—"

Jin Jingxue shouted, reaching out: "No—A Ying, I still know a secret; spare my life!"

Li Qingluo hurried forward to block Jin Ying.

"Senior sister, listen to what other nonsense she's about to spout."

Zheng Mama in the crowd hastily wiped the sweat from her forehead.

How is it that the more the young lady reads, the more her speech resembles that of an old lady, becoming ever coarser?

Hey, this book is read.

Indeed, truly the old lady's biological child.

Jin Ying suppressed her anger and only then lowered her sword.

Jin Jingxue dared not hesitate, quickly saying: "It's that Cloud Valley sect master Zu Li Ya... I know this DaLiang county lord knows her."

"Didn't she, back then, bring back a daughter from the DaLiang imperial household?"

"I saw that daughter drown herself in the river with her own hands."

"So I suspect that infant was not her biological child at all."

"Otherwise, even a beast couldn't do such a thing."

Li Qingluo: "This secret, you want to trade it for your own life?"

"Don't you find it ridiculous?"

Seeing Jin Ying's sword-hand twitch again, Jin Jingxue hurriedly added: "Moreover!"

"Cloud Valley and the Fourth Prince of DaLiang have been in close contact."

"Over these years, they, Cloud Valley, have helped the Fourth Prince do plenty of shady deeds."

"As far as I know, the worst was using gu insects to slaughter an entire loyalist family of seventy-six who stood in the way of the Fourth Prince."

"Afterward, that Fourth Prince may also have been frightened, so he sent back all the Cloud Valley personnel stationed in DaLiang."

"Since then, Zu Li Ya has disappeared in MiaoJiang."

"I heard, I heard she went to DaLiang."

Besides, this time your Witch Moon Sect possesses a treasure, which is what the Fourth Prince, upon hearing the news, wishes to obtain and present to his Empress Mother.

So, the mastermind behind all this is this Fourth Prince, and also the Cloud Valley faction?

However, even if Ji Jinxue said all that, Jin Yun would still not forgive her.

She swung her sword, continuing to cut Ji Jinxue's tendons, and only after she became a cripple did she toss her onto the path at the mountain's base.

"If the Union Harmony Sect still wants someone like you, a worthless sect leader, then I won't be called Jin Yun!"

Having said that, Jin Yun ignored Ji Jinxue's anguished cries, turned, and left decisively.

She had helped Ji Jinxue for these years, thus knowing the Union Harmony Sect all too well.

The Union Harmony Sect has never wanted worthless people.

Moreover, Ji Jinxue this time has also brought heavy losses upon the Union Harmony Sect.

Even if Ji Jinxue were taken back, her only fate would be to be forced to abdicate.

What use is a former sect leader in the Union Harmony Sect?

Within a year, Ji Jinxue won't be able to survive.

When Jin Yun returned to the mountain, she could no longer hold on.

Seeing that the poisonous python was still alive, Jin Yun called out to Li Qingluo.

"Luoer, come here."

After Li Qingluo came over, she took Li Qingluo's hand, solemnly saying, "You all hurry and leave."

"Since this thing cannot be killed, I will instead share eternal rest with it in this cave. Sealing it with my blood as sect leader should pose no problem."

"But you, you need not stay any longer."

"I know that back then, my martial uncle kept you in Miaojiang for a year, repaying your kindness with harm."

"Otherwise, you would have left with your grandmother as soon as you recovered. Moreover, forcing you and Prince Su, Your Highness, this newlywed couple to be separated across the world shows that our Witch Moon Sect has acted inhumane."

Li Qingluo: "No, Senior Sister."

"Back then, you made an antidote for the Pei family, and I also promised to follow you to Miaojiang."

"Therefore, without your permission, I will not leave at will."

Jin Yun gave a bitter smile and said: "So, what my martial uncle and I have done is no different."

"My martial uncle once said that our Witch Moon Sect, and indeed all of Miaojiang, would face a life-or-death catastrophe. You are the key to our survival."

"But now, saying anything is too late. Our Witch Moon Sect is already..."

Jin Yun's bitterness surged in waves, and she finally spat out a mouthful of blood.

Li Qingluo hurriedly supported her: "Senior Sister!"

"Don't think that way. What about Duo, who hasn't been rescued—are you not going to care for her?"

"Moreover, Lan, and my older brother are on their way back; once they return, we can surely revive the Witch Moon Sect."

"How many people have died from those few major sects? And besides, the mastermind behind it all, the Fourth Prince, you still haven't truly taken revenge."

"Listen, I will also never abandon you."

Jin Yun gave a faint smile.

"You are a kind-hearted good child."

"All right, I'm tired. I'm going to rest..."

Saying that, she closed her eyes.

Just then, the poisonous python also suddenly shuddered violently a few times.

Duan Rongshi immediately rose and walked toward the poisonous python.

His eyes fell on the spot seven inches from the poisonous python's tail.

There, there was a faintly glowing spot.

"Luoer, come over."
