Originally there were about ten people, but now, only them remained.
Pei Chiyao didn't even look at the bodies on the ground, he directly stepped on one of them, and walked up to Zhi Yao.
"Yao Yao, why did you come here!" he said through gritted teeth.
Zhi Yao was really too disobedient!
Earlier, when he heard outside that Zhi Yao was inside, his originally calm heart suddenly felt like someone had planted a bomb in it, thumping wildly.
He instantly lost the desire to tangle with those people, raising his blade and taking them down one by one, resolving the twenty-odd assassins that Shen Xiong had arranged outside as quickly as possible. He had Ling Er go out first, while he turned back inside.
Zhi Yao saw Pei Chiyao covered in injuries, and the little girl's heart clenched instantly, "Pei Chiyao, are you okay..."
"I'm fine." Pei Chiyao shook his head, looking at Ling Jue with utter exasperation.
How could this father-in-law be so unreliable, actually bringing Zhi Yao to such a dangerous place?
It seems... he couldn't trust him too much in the future.
Seeing the little girl on the verge of tears, Pei Chiyao's surging anxiety and worry turned to tenderness, "Baby, it's okay, I'm not hurt."
After all, they outnumbered their opponents, so even with Pei Chiyao's speed, he couldn't avoid getting nicked by blades, but fortunately, these were only the most minor surface wounds, nothing serious.
If it weren't for this woman tricking him into leaving with the matter of the seal, Pei Chiyao would have emerged unscathed today! How could he have caused Zhi Yao to see him like this? Needlessly upsetting the little girl?
No matter how many mistakes were made, they were all this old woman's fault!
Thinking of this, Pei Chiyao's gaze towards the Black Robe Woman became even more malicious.
The Black Robe Woman suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
The reason she was able to force Zhi Yao and Ling Jue to retreat step by step wasn't because Ling Jue wasn't formidable, but because of that blade.
If she didn't have that blade in her hands, Ling Jue would have torn her apart long ago.
It was precisely because she held these weapons that were as deadly as the bane of spirits in her hands that she could completely suppress Ling Jue.
But this man before her... he wasn't a spirit! In that case, against him, she didn't have the slightest chance of victory.
Recalling this man's effortless killing earlier, the Black Robe Woman felt a chill run down her spine.
Sure enough, the next second, Pei Chiyao raised his gun and aimed it at her, "I'll count to three, if you still don't tell me about the seal, I'll kill you right now."
"I don't have that much patience."
His words rang in her ears like the toll of death.
The Black Robe Woman trembled as she glanced at Zhi Yao, she had indeed discovered a seal on this vixen's body, but she didn't know how to undo it either!
Her mind raced, but before she could come up with a plan, "Bang!", another bullet pierced her calf.
Swift, precise, and ruthless, without giving her the slightest chance to breathe.
"I said, I don't have that much patience."
"You!" The Black Robe Woman glared hatefully at Pei Chiyao, the immense pain from her leg making her realize one thing...
Today, even if she told him, she would likely not survive to leave!
Since she was going to die anyway, why shouldn't she take someone down with her?!
A savage expression appeared on her face, the surrounding wind grew stronger and louder, blowing away the black veil from her face, but she couldn't care less now.
She desperately endured the pain, suddenly grabbing the blade from the ground and slashing towards Zhi Yao, "Die, you!"
"Yao Yao!"
"Bang!"
Ling Jue and Pei Chiyao reacted simultaneously, Pei Chiyao shooting her in the arm, while Ling Jue used his massive body to shield Zhi Yao.
But it was still a bit late...
That slash was aimed at Ling Jue's wolf legs... you see, this blade was just an ordinary blade to humans, but to spirits, it was a lethal weapon!
The Black Robe Woman collapsed to the ground, laughing triumphantly, "Hahahahahahaha!"
But before she could finish laughing, the laughter seemed to get stuck in her throat, unable to produce a single sound.
"Come back." Pei Chiyao raised his hand slightly, and the blade seemed to resonate, its body trembling, before... flying straight into Pei Chiyao's hand.
The Black Robe Woman's smug expression froze, staring at Pei Chiyao in disbelief, "You... who are you?! This, this is impossible!"
This blade also had a history of over a thousand years, recognizing its master wasn't strange.
But what truly shocked her was...
Why... why could this man control it?!
He wasn't from the Ji Family!
As a member of the Ji Family's main bloodline, even she couldn't fully control this blade, so how could this man?
"It seems you've been deceiving me from the start?"
Pei Chiyao let out a light laugh, though there was no mirth in his eyes.
He glanced down at the exceedingly obedient blade in his hand, his long, bloodstained fingers gently caressing its body, his smile tinged with a chill, "This is something the Ji Family's ancestors took into their coffins, how did you get it?"
The Black Robe Woman trembled, stuttering, unable to get a single word out.
"You... how do you know about my Ji Family? Who are you!"
The blood from her leg and arm continued flowing, and due to excessive blood loss, she grew weaker, her vision even blurring until she could no longer make out Pei Chiyao's face.
"Who I am doesn't matter, what matters is, you have to die."
His tone was indifferent, but the words chilled the Black Robe Woman to the bone.
She widened her eyes, wanting to say something about the seal on Zhi Yao's body, but not a single syllable escaped before a flash of gold appeared in her blurred vision.
"Shunk", the blade sank into the woman's body, blood splattering across Pei Chiyao's face.
When he was done, he suddenly remembered Zhi Yao was still watching from the side.
Pei Chiyao snapped back to his senses, regretting that his actions might have frightened her.
With a glance back, however, she saw Zhi Yao staring intently at the corpse of the Black Robe Woman, as if deep in thought.
The young lady pointed at something on the ground and asked in puzzlement, "What is this?"
