At that moment, in the Weapon Refining Sect’s quarters, Hun Fei’s face was ghastly pale. Shi Yun, who was sitting beside him seemed to be in a daze, her brows knitted tightly together, deep in thought.

　　“My Lady, don’t you worry. We will catch Gu Ruoyun, and devote her Spiritual Energy to you!” He balled his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, “I won’t be happy until I kill that little vermin!”

　　Shi Yun’s gaze darkened. She slowly put down her teacup and said, “Hun Fei, don’t make any rash actions. If the Three Great Authorities find out, we will get the whole Weapon Refining Sect in trouble.”

　　“My Lady, then what should we do? Surely, we can’t let her roam free any longer?”

　　“No!” Shi Yun shook her head. A dash of cruelty flashed across her eyes. She laughed softly,

　　“Killing her is not impossible, seeing that the rules set by the Three Great Authorities forbid us from picking on weaklings. But once she breaks through to the level of Martial General, then she would be out of that range. The only thing is that her breakthrough to the level of Martial General could easily take ten years. I cannot wait that long…”

　　“Also…I don’t want to let Gu Ruoyun die!” Shi Yun’s smile had a trace of mischief. “I want to absorb all her Spiritual Energy, and then cripple her body and torture her for as long as she lives! Since she chose to deceive Qianbei Ye with her words and made Qianbei Ye so dependent on her, then she…must pay with her life!”

　　Looking at Shi Yun now, Hun Fei’s heart shuddered.

　　Shi Yun had appeared as gentle as a breeze in front of others. But nobody knew better than him about the true colors of this woman!

　　In the beginning, to obtain her utmost highest position within the Weapon Refining Sect, she had resorted to poison her twin older sister, that girl who had her same looks, but was truly kind and extraordinarily talented…

　　However, all of this happened with his help.

　　But if she could even harm her own twin sister, what else could she not do?

　　“My Lady, do you have any other good plan?” Hun Fei frowned. “Is there a way to avoid the eyes of the Three Great Authorities on the Mainland and snatch Gu Ruoyun away without anyone noticing?”

　　Shi Yun snorted, “Why do we need to avoid their eyes? Leng Yanfeng is one of my people in the Weapon Refining Sect. If he marries Gu Ruoyun, then Gu Ruoyun would belong to the Weapon Refining Sect. The Three Great Authorities wouldn’t even bat an eyelid if we were to kill or flay her. I have already implied that I want Gu Ruoyun to leave Qianbei Ye. Leng Yanfeng is a clever man who is engrossed with me. He will certainly go into boiling water and walk on fire for me! Why should I not utilize a person such as this? If this works out, Gu Ruoyun will have to thank me. If it were only by her talent and potential, she wouldn’t be a fitting bride for Leng Yanfeng even after a lifetime!”

　　Even if Leng Yanfeng was not a member of the Weapon Refining Sect, that woman would still not be a fitting bride for him! After all, he was the crown prince of a country.

　　Hun Fei’s jaws dropped in astonishment. He had thought that he himself was cruel enough.

　　However, Lady Shi Yun was clearly crueler! To achieve her goals, she would do absolutely anything!

　　While Shi Yun was plotting against Gu Ruoyun, the Emperor of Azure Dragon Country was faced with a storm.

　　There was no other reason. General Luo was the most protective father towards his own daughter in the whole Azure Dragon Country. Hence, when he got word that Luo Yin was taken hostage by Ling Yi, he immediately burst out in rage. He brought a troop of men to capture the crippled Ling Xi and even demolished the mourning hall set up for Ling Yi.
