A cold voice echoed in Old Master Baili's ear.
Old Master Baili looked up at the woman before him, radiating an imposing aura.
The woman's icy eyes blazed with killing intent.
"Gu Qianying, I know that girl is yours, but she's merely an incompetent servant. For such an insignificant person, you question me here. Have you considered that my son, Su'er, would be displeased? Your marriage with Su'er, isn't it already arranged? Gu Qianying, the person standing before you now is your future husband's father. Do you truly intend to kill me?"
Old Master Baili looked at Gu Qianying, gripping his sword tightly.
At the same time, he was trying to deter Gu Qianying in another way.
He had witnessed Gu Qianying's capabilities firsthand.
It was precisely for this reason that he felt a trace of fear towards her.
In terms of spiritual power, martial arts, and internal energy, he was no match for this woman.
"Did you kill Madam Baili and Xiao Mengran?"
Ignoring Old Master Baili's words, Gu Qianying stared at him coldly and continued to ask.
"Gu Qianying, how about this: as long as you help me retrieve the Charm Tiger Token, and in the future, when you join our Baili family and become my daughter-in-law, I will impart all my lifelong cultivation to Su'er."
Although Su'er was somewhat frail, this child possessed some intelligence. In the future, I will hand over all matters of the Baili family, including the lordship of this Western Region City, to Su'er and you to manage. At that time, the entire Western Region Kingdom will be ours, the Baili family."
"Gu girl, after you and Su'er have children in the future, he will be Su'er's heir and will enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth."
To persuade Gu Qianying, Old Master Baili changed from calling her by name to "girl," making it sound a bit more intimate.
However... Gu Qianying was completely uninterested in his continuous pronouncements.
"Silence implies consent. Very well!"
Gu Qianying's gaze sharpened.
She raised her palm, the Scarlet Blood Saber spinning in her hand. The next moment, it lunged directly at Old Master Baili.
The Scarlet Blood Saber did not leave her hand. Gu Qianying gripped it tightly, leaped lightly, and the instant Old Master Baili dodged her Scarlet Blood Saber.
She held the hilt and thrust towards Old Master Baili again.
The saber was imbued with two-thirds of the demonic power within her.
Clusters of black mist spread around the blade.
Old Master Baili was no match for Gu Qianying at all.
As he dodged and attempted to flee, Gu Qianying pursued him with her saber.
She blocked his escape route.
At the same time, as Old Master Baili's sword was once again subjected to Gu Qianying's demonic power, several black threads entwined around it, and in an instant, the sword snapped into two pieces and fell to the ground.
Old Master Baili was now without a weapon.
Moreover, his internal cultivation could not be unleashed under the suppression of the powerful demonic energy.
Several intangible black shadows followed Gu Qianying around her.
Old Master Baili had no way to escape.
He had witnessed this woman Gu Qianying's capabilities before.
But at this moment, he was still quite shocked.
Her dark eyes had turned red as she looked at him.
Her aura had become even more formidable.
The Scarlet Blood Saber in her hand swung.
"Ah..."
A scream instantly erupted.
An arm was severed by Gu Qianying's saber.
The bloody arm fell to the ground.
Old Master Baili's severed limb bled profusely.
He clutched the gushing wound, his face pale as he looked at Gu Qianying.
At this moment, he was truly terrified!
"Miss Gu... you cannot kill me... you know I am your..."
"Screech!"
Another slash.
His other arm was also severed.
Blood spread.
The bloody arms, at the opposite side of the same location, lay in a line with the other bleeding arm.
Thus.
Old Master Baili didn't even have time to cry out before he lost another arm.
He was like meat on a chopping block, at the mercy of others.
Facing such a powerful Gu Qianying,
Old Master Baili had no ability to resist.
"Lu Zhu's head was cut off by you, Madam and Xiao Mengran were also killed by you. Next, it's my turn. Did you expect me to show you mercy because you are Baili Su's father?"
A mocking smile played on Gu Qianying's lips. "Heh, Old Master Baili, killing you is my own doing, to avenge my person, Lu Zhu, and to seek justice for Madam and Xiao Mengran. As for the so-called daughter-in-law you mentioned, do you think I would spare you for the sake of the words 'daughter-in-law'?"
Red eyes reappeared, her gaze filled with endless killing intent.
"I tell you here, I am the Empress of Demonic Beings, the sect leader of Juesha Sect, and also the Ninth Princess Consort of Dongsheng Kingdom. I am also... an individual who follows her heart. I fancy your son, Baili Su, and our love for each other is true. Our marriage is also true."
"But... it is not I who marries, but he who takes a bride! My feelings for him have nothing to do with anyone in your Baili family. And today, I kill you, simply to kill you!"
With that said.
Gu Qianying made the Scarlet Blood Saber in her hand spin in mid-air again.
Upon hearing this.
Old Master Baili's expression was filled with terror and panic.
He stumbled back a few steps.
He had thought that because of his son Baili Su, Gu Qianying would show him mercy.
However... he was mistaken.
This ruthless and venomous woman, Gu Qianying, had never intended to spare him!
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er! I am your father, Xuan'er, you cannot just watch this demoness Gu Qianying kill your father!"
At this moment, Song Wuji was supporting Baili Jingxuan. They had both consumed the pills Gu Qianying had given them.
Their strength had recovered somewhat.
"Father!"
Baili Jingxuan released Song Wuji and wanted to go towards Gu Qianying to stop her.
"Don't go!"
Song Wuji stopped him, grabbing Baili Jingxuan's hand.
Baili Jingxuan looked back at him, "That's my father!"
"But he killed your mother and your younger sister. Jingxuan, he deserves this. Don't be foolish!"
Song Wuji did not want Baili Jingxuan to choose to save Old Master Baili.
This would not only make their savior Gu Qianying difficult but, more importantly, it would plunge Baili Jingxuan into a state of painful contemplation.
His own father killed his mother and his younger sister.
As long as Old Master Baili existed in this world, such pain would always accompany Baili Jingxuan.
"But I can't do it!"
Baili Jingxuan's eyes welled up with tears.
He broke free from Song Wuji.
He turned and rushed towards another direction.
"Don't go!"
The moment Baili Jingxuan let go of Song Wuji, Song Wuji panicked. He quickly tried to grab Baili Jingxuan's sleeve, but he couldn't reach him.
"Don't go!"
Song Wuji was anxious and quickly followed.
But with his injured leg, he couldn't possibly catch up to Baili Jingxuan.
Gu Qianying raised the Scarlet Blood Saber in her hand, about to stab Old Master Baili, when a figure suddenly appeared and blocked Old Master Baili.
"Ugh!"
The tip of the Scarlet Blood Saber pierced through the person's chest.
Gu Qianying's pupils contracted sharply.
