Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

Words spoken become law.

The sky was gloomy, as if about to spew ink.

At the same time, a loud crash erupted before them, sending piles of corpses flying high into the air, tearing apart into strips like noodles before crashing heavily to the ground.

Instantly, fresh blood and plasma splattered everywhere, and fragments of flesh filled every nook and cranny, raining down on the two of them, forming a thick, grotesque layer.

Even Ye Kong, with his vast experience, was shocked by the scene before him. His feet felt like lead, but instinct took over, and he swiftly dragged Yu Hai away.

The rain of corpses continued to fall, completely enveloping the ancestral hall. Ye Kong and Yu Hai stopped in an open space a hundred meters away, clutching their chests in shock.

Everything had happened too fast!

Completely unexpected.

Ye Kong stared at the carnage before him, muttering to himself, "How could this be? What on earth happened?"

Yu Hai reached out and wiped the blood from his face, handing a handkerchief to Ye Kong, "I don't know, but Village Chief Li Fu and the others are in league. They were the ones who trapped us in that cage!"

Ye Kong took the handkerchief and wiped his face absently, a cold expression replacing his shock. "I should have realized it sooner."

"It's just… do they really dare!"

"What?" Yu Hai asked.

Ye Kong didn't continue. He looked at the rain of corpses that had stopped, and he used his powers to move the blood and gore to the back of the mountain, carefully covering it with earth.

After finishing, unexpectedly, it started to rain.

At first, it was a drizzle, but it quickly grew heavier. Ye Kong spread his arms and looked up at the sky.

The rain washed the blood and grime from his body.

Once they were mostly clean, Ye Kong turned his head. "Let's go. Let's meet our old acquaintances. Wouldn't want to keep them waiting."

Returning to the thatched hut, the villagers who had gathered earlier were gone. The hut, which had been tidy the night before, had gloriously died in this siege against Ye Kong, becoming a pile of worthless rubble.

"Tsk tsk," Ye Kong sighed.

"These people, if nothing else, are skilled at discarding things after they've served their purpose."

Yu Hai understood Ye Kong's meaning and didn't reply, instead walking in and tidying up the ruins.

Then, he turned to look at Ye Kong. "Where do you think they went?"

Ye Kong pointed to the ancestral hall. "Actually, we can just wait for them here.

Of course, if you want to see a good show, we can make a little preparation first."

After a while, the open space in front of the door was filled with people. The leading villager looked at the tidied-up thatched hut and said smugly, "I told you! A fool like Ye Kong would definitely come back to clean up. We just need to trap him like a turtle in a jar."

As he spoke, he led the villagers behind him inside, continuing to curse, "I told you Ye Kong was a brainless waste! He must have been scared witless by the explosion in the ancestral hall and is hiding here to save his dog life.

I told you Li Fu was a waste too, setting up so many traps and designs. Does Ye Kong deserve that? Catching him is a piece of cake!"

The villagers behind him echoed his praise.

At this moment, Ye Kong and Yu Hai were sitting on the large tree behind them, watching the group of people cursing.

Yu Hai couldn't stand the insults and repeatedly tried to get up, but Ye Kong stopped him each time.

"Don't be impatient. Don't forget the grand gift we've carefully prepared!"

And the grand gift arrived.

Just as the villagers stepped into the open space ten meters from the thatched hut, a swarm of bats suddenly appeared, pecking at their faces with sharp, accurate beaks.

Immediately afterward, the entire ground around them cracked and collapsed, and what flowed out was wave after wave of very flavorful swill.

Oh, and a little of that corpse water from earlier was added.

The next wave of flavorful water arrived quickly, pouring all the curses down their throats.

Glug glug glug…

After a period of fighting, the leading villager charged up, radiating a stench, and rushed toward Ye Kong. Yu Hai stretched out his leg and kicked him back down again.

"Is everyone here?" Ye Kong cleared his throat. "Now, I'll start asking questions. Whoever answers correctly, I'll pull them up.

Otherwise, the next course is your favorite chili water special!"

The villagers below surged and struggled. Those whose bodies had partially emerged were pulled back down by the people below.

"Now, the first question, who sent you here?"

Ye Kong asked.

The bottom became very quiet for a moment.

Then, a stirring sound rose, splashing the water. Several strong men desperately struggled to swim over, shouting loudly, "I know, I'll tell you!"

The next moment, his eyes widened, and he tilted his head in disbelief, heavily crashing into the mud.

"Whoever dares to speak out of turn must get past me first!"

The crowd instantly fell silent.

"Alright, so you want to taste the chili flavor?"

As soon as Ye Kong finished speaking, a large amount of chili water came surging from all directions, all made from the famous Facing Heaven peppers of Li Village, with a spiciness level as high as several floors!

With this wave of chili water, a large number of villagers couldn't bear it, either choked to death by the chili water or slashed to death. Since they were all going to die anyway, they might as well die quickly.

So, as Ye Kong prepared to say the second sentence, a large group of blood-red villagers climbed up, shouting loudly, "It's the Hanlin Academy!"

When the name Hanlin Academy came out, Ye Kong was momentarily stunned. It had been so long since he had heard that name. He thought that the old feud had faded away with time. He didn't expect the hatred to have increased instead, even reaching thousands of kilometers away.

"This is truly a great nemesis!"

Even Ye Kong couldn't help but think that the fire he had set was too light.

"Next, the second question, who was responsible for the plight of the villagers of Li Village?"

After the question was asked.

Everyone's eyes instantly gathered on the leading man. Just as he was about to be thrown out by everyone, a deep and powerful voice came from behind.

"It was me!"

Li Fu had returned.
