"Aarggghh!"

Lin Fen shrieked in agony. Sweat began to roll down his face and the pain was so great that he started to writhe about.

"When you had killed those innocent villagers, did it ever cross your mind that you would have to pay this price?"

A cold light flashed in Gu Ruoyun's eye as she slowly approached Lin Fen who was now curled into a ball.

Right now, Lin Fen was in so much agony that he could not speak. His face was red and splattered with blood as he stared sinisterly at Gu Ruoyun.

"Gu Ruoyun, you will not have a peaceful death! Once you are dead, you will most certainly be sent to Hell!"

Gu Ruoyun laughed and her smile carried a murderous air. "However, before that happens, all of you will reach Hell before me! Lin Fen, regardless of the grudge between us, the Lin family should never have involved the innocent. After this, I will take all your heads to their graves so you can apologize for your crimes!"

Gu Ruoyun then raised the Ninth Emperor and slashed it down without any further hesitation.

Lin Fen looked completely shocked and he did not even have the time to beg for mercy. Gu Ruoyun's indifferent eyes watched coldly as his body fell slowly to the ground...

After witnessing Lin Fen's death, how could the remainder of the Lin family members possibly have the courage to stay on? They looked at one another before they turned and started to run away.

However, before they could escape, a ray of light from the sword flashed behind them and they all fell down without a sound.

"I had promised Auntie Hua that I would bring back their heads. As for their bodies..." Gu Ruoyun gently stroked the Ninth Emperor's blade and gently raised her gaze before saying, "You can enjoy those."

The Ninth Emperor seems to understand Gu Ruoyun's words and dragged the headless bodies onto its blade. It then melted them all with fire...

If it had not been for the blood on the ground, no one would have guessed that a battle had just happened here a short while ago.

"A Martial Saint is indeed very powerful. If it had not been for the Ninth Emperor, I'm afraid that I would have needed to expend quite a bit of effort to defeat them." sighed Gu Ruoyun.

However...

She laughed bitterly as she sensed the light in the Ninth Emperor slowly dim.

"Unfortunately, I can't always use the Ninth Emperor in battle since it needs a long time to recuperate after every battle. After leaving this place, I'll need to repair the spiritual weapon that Lin Fen had damaged. After all, I can't always depend on the Ninth Emperor in every battle."

The Ninth Emperor was indeed very powerful.

It had allowed her to instantly kill a Martial Saint while she was at the rank of a high-level Martial Supreme.

However, after this battle, it would require a long period of recuperation before it could be used again.

"Someone is approaching?"

Gu Ruoyun sensed several powerful auras making their way to her position from not too far away and knitted her brows. She put the Ninth Emperor away, picked up the decapitated heads on the ground, and left the area without turning back.

Not long after Gu Ruoyun had left, numerous figures hovered around the area in the sky as if they were searching for a specific aura.

"There was a battle here a while ago."

The person who had spoken was an elderly man in blue robes. He thought for a bit before he slowly spoke again.

"I had sensed it too and the ground is also drenched in blood. A massacre had clearly taken place here. Could it be that someone had arrived before us and had fought for the sake of the Divine Weapon?"

"That should be correct. Just a while ago, a Divine Weapon had been revealed and the mainland dove into a sensation! Cultivators who had been nearby should clearly be able to arrive sooner. One less enemy would equal to one less fight so they must have dueled for the Divine Weapon! We must find that Divine Weapon before anyone else gets here. A Divine Weapon that can cause a sensation of this scale must be unlike any other!"
