Thus, she was confident that once her ice-flamed palm landed on Min Qing, that would spell the end of her life, and should the sect try to punish her, she would use her clan's influence and self defense as an excuse for killing Min Qing...

After all, a core court disciple dueling an outer court disciple in its own is something to be frowned upon by the sect due to the stark difference in power, but that would mean disposing off her only competition to Min Hong's heart…

​​

Blast!

Splurt!

But just as the arm was about to land on Min Qing, it blasted apart into blood dusts, just like Yuan Chun previously…

"Aaahhhh!"

Xi Mei's scream caused the hairs on all the onlookers to stand on end as their soul shrugged at the presence of such pain…

But whilst everything was occurring, only the inner court disciples were getting the best and clearest view of the happenings in the sect at this point…

Because they were located in between the outer court and the core court, they were able to witness Xi Mei's torture on one side, and Min Hong's valiant elevation on the other side…

Min Hong hovered there alone, his wings flapping every other minute whilst the two elders were gravely injured with blood trickling little by little out of their body onto the ground…

Even Min Hong couldn't tell what was wrong with him at this point, the only thing he knew at this point was that he hated to see Min Qing sad and anything or anyone that made her sad should pay with their lives…

He was there hovering mid-air, looking towards the inner court Enforcement Hall and awaiting the arrival of something the disciples were all clueless about…

The Shen siblings were also out in the open and were watching everything happen in their presence…

For Shen Tang, he was currently witnessing Min Qing torture the only princess or mistress of the third strongest Super Clan…

Xi Mei was there experiencing the every shred of pain Min Qing endured when she was having her Yin Qi eruptions, only in about a hundred folds stronger and painful…

Whereas Shen Wang and Shen Yang, including Lao Shi were watching Min Hong hover there, mid-air as they saw two elders erupt from the inner court and head towards him from up ahead, whilst two other elders were speeding over from the outer court...

These were all the leaders of the Enforcement Hall of the inner and outer court respectively, and they were supposed to be very strong and possess a total battle power of 1 Star Saint Stage and Peak Nascent Soul stage expert respectively, and they were all heading towards Min Hong at full speed…

Then just as they left, another elder albeit slowly followed these elders on his own flying sword; this elder was Elder Jiang; the elder Min Hong was willing to accept as his master [In teaching alone…]

When Shen Tang saw these elders approaching Min Hong he began to gloat;

"And here I was thinking I will have to waste the talisman father gave me which contained the power of 1 Star Saint stage expert on this useless trash who had yet to even enter the Nascent Soul stage…" He thought to himself;

"Anyways, this saves me a talisman and prevents me from dirtying my hand and having to explain to father why I had to cripple an outer court disciple…"

A ridiculing grin tore his lips as he watched on and anticipated the crippling of Min Hong's cultivation base…

Then just as that happened, two female elders burst out of the core court district; one of them being Xi Mei's master with the other being her assistant which was Xi Mei's senior apprentice sister, and they approached Min Qing at blistering speed, and from what one could see, they seemed to be arriving in a very valuable flying treasure which only caused Min Qing to think some pretty lecherous thoughts…

Then just as they arrived as saw Xi Mei writhing in the frigid water cauldron, Luo Pin who was Xi Mei's master who possessed a total battle power in the 7 Star Nascent Soul Stage whilst Xi Mei's senior apprentice sister had a total battle prowess of a 4 Star Nascent Soul expert;

"Release her this once and we might let you off after you cripple your cultivation!" Jin Bing; Xi Mei's senior apprentice sister spoke blatantly…

"Aaahhh!"

Xi Mei screamed out at this point attracting the attention of her master and her senior apprentice sister, but Min Qing instead looked to Xi Mei's master; Elder Nan Di, and asked;

"So, did you only sacrifice your ass to the head of the Treasure Hall to get this flying treasure, or was it both?"

She pointed towards Jin Bing for the latter part of her statement which caused a very deep blush of shame to appear on both their faces, and just from that alone, Min Qing got her answer, or so she thought until she noticed that Xi Mei had stopped screaming…

Turning her face to look at Xi Mei, she noticed that despite her excruciating pain, her face was still beet red from shame, after all, she could still hear what Min Qing just told her master and senior apprentice sister;

"Eeh, it took three asses!?"

"Wow… The Treasure Hall head really has a large appetite, and I bet you all whet his appetite also…"

But to think you are already a whorehouse slut at this tender age of yours and you still dare publicly claim my own Hong-ge to be yours, you need to cripple your own cultivation with the same hands you have used to build it…"

Min Qing's statement was more of a command than an ordinary threat or suggestion that it seemed, but seeing that her master and senior apprentice sister were already here, Xi Mei felt she still stood a great chance of surviving this torture and vowed to make Min Qing face one that was at least ten times worse than hers, so at this point, a furious shade of red appeared on her face as she spat through gritted teeth;

"Bitch, you had better not let me get out of here…"

"Better make sure you kill me completely, otherwise-"

Min Qing didn't even let her finish her statement as she clenched her fists tighter causing the cauldron to be filled with more potent Yin Qin that made Xi Mei scream so hard, that she lost her voice…

"Pungent whore having disgusting thoughts about my King, you deserve to die ten times over…"

Min Qing spat through furious teeth as she clenched her fist tighter…At this point, the veins all over Xi Mei's body were now colored grey, signifying just how potent and lethal the Yin Qi flowing through her body was, as she began to convulse and tremble, her skin changing to death pale color at a speed visible to the naked eye, causing bubbles of saliva to foam out of her mouth…

She was being utterly and acutely poisoned by Min Qing's Yin Qi…

"Since you have made your decision, I might as well send your soul into the yellow springs of the netherworld!"

Elder Nan Di blurted towards Min Qing who nonchalantly gave a savage response;

"Do you mean this yellow springs!?" She said, as the gates of the netherworld appeared behind her, swinging open with a Jiaa!-sound...

Streams of souls burst out of the gates flooding over to Elder Nan Di and Jin Bing who had their mouths left ajar in shock, but Elder Nan Di was able to respond on time waving her sleeves, and sending a massive cyclone of wind towards Min Qing blasting the netherworld yellow spring water into nothingness before it continued towards her…
