Concubine Ling, who had initially felt uneasy and angered, quickly calmed down after that statement.

　　Right! Even if those people have failed, there was still the powerful Elder Liu; it was absolutely impossible for Gu Ruoyun to live on!

　　“Elder Liu, that formation is so powerful. What if Gu Ruoyun were to hide in it after she found out that the Dark Yin Palace was after her?”

　　“Hmph!” Elder Liu snorted. “I’ve checked her background before this. This Gu Ruoyun is quite a sentimental person. As long as I capture someone that is close to her, there’s no way that she would not show herself! Since she has chosen to kill the people of the Dark Yin Palace, then she will need to repay this debt with her blood!”

　　The Dark Yin Palace is a formidable force in the people’s eyes because of how they operated. If someone from the Dark Yin Palace failed their mission, someone even stronger would continue the mission until the target was dead. Thus, the people who were on the receiving end of the assassination order from the Dark Yin Palace would never have the chance to live for much longer than half a month!

　　“Thank you in advance for your effort, Elder Liu.”

　　Concubine Ling was delighted as she said happily.

　　“Even so, Elder Liu, could you incapacitate Gu Ruoyun and leave her for me to torture? She had killed so many of the Ling family that I would never be satisfied if I don’t avenge them with my own hands.”

　　“That’s no issue.”

　　Elder Liu nodded, “I will capture someone who is close to her tomorrow and force her out of her hiding!”

　　He never thought that Gu Ruoyun would become worthy of his notice. Even if there was a Martial King supporting the Hundred Herb Hall, that incompetent rubbish was not even worthy enough to be his opponent!

　　Concubine Ling was elated when she saw Elder Liu’s confident expression. It was as if she could see Gu Ruoyun kneeling before her and begging her for mercy. It was an immensely satisfying feeling!

　　“Father, Ling Xi, Ling Yu, just you wait. I will soon send your enemy to hell! When that happens, I will rob the abilities of her limbs, pluck out the tendons off her legs and break open her spiritual ocean. Then, she’ll become a trash for you to bully and humiliate!”

　　She started to cackle as she thought about. Her laughter was watery with tears and it was filled with her hatred and contempt towards Gu Ruoyun…

　　However, Gu Ruoyun never expected Concubine Ling to hold such a huge grudge against her. It was understandable, though; almost all of the Ling family had perished by her hand. How would Concubine Ling, a member of the Ling family, not hold a grudge?

　　It was just that she did not dare to take direct action as the Hundred Herb Hall was too influential.

　　Given the chance, she would definitely stab Gu Ruoyun’s back without an ounce of hesitation.

　　…

　　It was dawn and the sun rose above the horizon.

　　On a street not far from the Hundred Herb Hall, a young boy almost ten years of age looked at the surrounding stalls inquisitively. His fair, tiny face was lit with curiosity.

　　“Sister Moyu, where are you planning to bring me?”

　　The lady named Moyu is the Right Protector of the Devil Sect and also the Hall Master of the Pill Refining Hall. After the Devil Sect was established, Gu Ruoyun had taught Moyu the art of refining pills and gave her the authority to manage the Pill Refining Hall.

　　This time, Gu Ruoyun did not only take interest in Bai Chuan’s cultivation talents. His talent in refining pills was outstanding as well. This was why she had passed him to Moyu.

　　“Xiao Chuan, I want to bring you back to headquarters. The Master has a new mission for you.”

　　Moyu chuckled as she saw Bai Chuan’s tender cheeks. She could not help but pinch them.

　　Bai Chuan’s face darkened at that. He could not comprehend why women were so perverse and all of them loved to pinch his cheeks…

　　All of them except for Gu Ruoyun!

　　In her eyes, only cultivation mattered. It was as if there was nothing else outside of cultivation and expanding her influence.
