To leave the weeds to grow freely without removing the roots means that they will return with the spring breeze.
Su Xi knew very well that if she let Yu Fan go, he would never tolerate such humiliation. Once he recovered, he would definitely seek revenge. It was easy to dodge an open attack, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. She could not be on guard at all times, and who knew when she might fall into a trap.
Since she had already made her move, she absolutely could not hesitate for a moment, or she would be the one to die.
Yu Fan sensed the killing intent emanating from Su Xi and knew that she intended to kill him.
However, he was not panicked at all; instead, he felt a little smug.
Just now, while talking to Su Xi, he had already used a communication talisman to notify the captain of the enforcement team. As soon as the captain appeared, Su Xi would immediately be subjected to a public humiliation and death.
Su Xi had already noticed Yu Fan's small actions but deliberately ignored them, precisely because she wanted him to leak the news of the situation.
Now that Yu Fan had leaked the news, his purpose was fulfilled, and there was no longer any need for him to live.
"Seal!"
Su Xi raised her hand and used the mountain protection formation to begin her attack.
This formation was personally set up by the True Master Tiangang in the past. It could easily kill even those in the Nascent Soul stage, let alone Yu Fan, who was only at the Golden Core stage.
It was as easy as lifting a hand.
The moment Su Xi activated the formation, Yu Fan felt an immense pressure descend upon him, as if he were being crushed between two mountains with no room to breathe. He immediately sensed the scent of death.
"You can't kill me." Yu Fan's body began to contort rapidly, and his speech became increasingly difficult.
As the young master of the Qingcheng Sect, he had never expected to be publicly slaughtered, and by someone from Penglai Mountain, whom he had always looked down upon.
Unfortunately, Su Xi did not heed Yu Fan's warning, and her movements only grew faster.
She never showed mercy to her enemies.
"Stop!"
Just as Yu Fan was about to succumb, a roar suddenly echoed from afar.
"Save me!" Upon hearing the captain's voice, Yu Fan's eyes flickered with the hope of survival.
The reinforcements had finally arrived.
Captain He Wei was already at the Nascent Soul stage, and dealing with Su Xi would be no problem. He would surely survive.
Su Xi saw the light in Yu Fan's eyes and instantly increased her power. Crushing a person's hope was the most effective way to plunge them into despair.
"Bang."
Yu Fan's corpse, like those of his companions before, exploded into a sky full of red fireworks, scattering across the ground, a truly disgusting sight.
At the same time, He Wei arrived with a group of people.
Seeing the ground covered in corpses, He Wei's expression turned extremely grim. Veins bulged on his forehead, clearly indicating that he was suppressing his anger with great effort.
It had been many years since anyone dared to provoke the enforcement team. Now, Su Xi, a seemingly insignificant figure, had dared to challenge them.
"Sect Leader Lin, we need an explanation for this matter." He Wei looked at Lin Qing, his voice unable to hide his anger.
Although his cultivation was inferior to Lin Qing's, he showed no fear, instead adopting a condescending tone of interrogation, as if he did not regard Lin Qing as important at all.
Lin Qing frowned upon hearing He Wei's words, feeling a surge of anger within him.
The restraint shown by the Five Great Immortal Mountains over the years had clearly made these outsiders increasingly arrogant. They dared to question him on his own territory.
Did they truly believe he would not retaliate?
"An explanation?" Lin Qing snorted coldly and said in an unfriendly tone, "Isn't the result already very clear?"
Originally, for the sake of Penglai Mountain, he had been willing to endure bullying. But now, he understood that constant forbearance did not earn respect; instead, it only led to them pushing their luck further.
Therefore, he naturally would not show any leniency.
He Wei could not help but frown when he saw Lin Qing suddenly become so assertive.
Had this person lost his mind?
He then turned to the leaders of the other major sects and asked, "What are your opinions?"
The sect leaders of the other major sects looked extremely displeased at being interrogated by someone at the Nascent Soul stage. They could easily kill He Wei multiple times over with a mere gesture, yet they dared not act.
He Wei himself was not frightening, but the Alliance of Enforcement Officers behind him could not be ignored. The Five Great Immortal Mountains were currently no match for them.
Receiving no response, He Wei took the initiative and turned to Daoist Mengxu, asking, "Mountain Master, what do you think of this matter?"
Mengxu stroked his white beard and tried to mediate, "I believe there must be some hidden circumstances behind this. I know Su Xi, and I trust her."
He Wei snorted upon hearing Daoist Mengxu's words, "Is the Mountain Master prepared to speak in her favor, implying that my enforcement team is at fault?"
Daoist Mengxu shook his head and said earnestly, "I am not speaking for anyone; I will only follow the truth of the matter."
He Wei glanced at Daoist Mengxu and suddenly chuckled, "Mountain Master is right. We must uphold facts in our words and actions."
He then turned towards Su Xi's direction and questioned, "Why did you kill them?"
Su Xi almost burst out laughing upon hearing He Wei's words.
Did he have to be so obvious?
Was this how he intended to speak to her?
By immediately asking why she had acted, he was essentially pre-judging her as guilty. They were all intelligent people; there was no need to play such petty games.
Instead of answering, Su Xi chose to correct him, "Wait a moment, what do you mean 'you killed them'?"
A servant by He Wei's side immediately jumped out and said, "How dare you! Who do you think you are, questioning my master?"
Su Xi looked at the scurrying bystander and replied nonchalantly, "And who are you to question me?"
"You." The bystander was furious and rolled up his sleeves, ready to attack.
For years, relying on He Wei's status, he had never been treated like this.
Su Xi looked at the bystander who was about to attack and her gaze unintentionally swept over the pool of minced flesh on the ground.
The implication was clear: if he wanted to fight, he should weigh his own strength.
The bystander looked at the minced flesh on the ground, and the urge to attack instantly cooled. He did not dare to proceed. Those were genuine members of the enforcement team, yet they had all died at Su Xi's hands.
If he went forward, he might truly be killed by this madwoman Su Xi. He was just a nameless bystander and was not worth losing his life for.
He Wei knew his servant's character well and had to step forward himself, frowning as he asked, "What exactly happened?"
Su Xi, who was still intending to be defiant, noticed Lin Qing's glance, signaling her to speak calmly.
This matter was originally on their side; continuing to escalate might shift the advantage.
Su Xi retracted the words that had reached her lips and replied, "I have preserved the truth of what happened using a recording talisman. Everyone can watch it and understand everything clearly."
With that, Su Xi activated the recording talisman in her hand.
Since she had already prepared to act, she would naturally not have been unprepared. With evidence, her subsequent plans could proceed.
As the recording talisman played, everyone quickly understood what had transpired.
The enforcement team had been so arrogant when they came, and their subsequent demise was completely reasonable. Furthermore, the enforcement team had uttered such arrogant words, making them deserving of their fate.
