Chapter 5016: Who

Thud!

The heavy thud of knees striking the hard ground echoed through the air. The old man’s face instantly drained of color, cold sweat the size of beans beading on his forehead and trickling down his cheeks.

His heart raced with terror as he stared at the woman in the blue robe before him, despair welling in his eyes.

The others before him had either been stripped of their cultivation or left gravely wounded. As for him, death seemed inevitable. This thought filled him with bitter resentment, yet he was utterly powerless.

For at this moment, he understood clearly that this woman’s power far surpassed theirs. Their own aura exerted no pressure on her whatsoever. On the contrary, the moment her aura manifested, they dared not even draw a breath, forced to their knees against their will.

Feng Jiu cast a cold glance at the old man on the ground. With a flick of her sleeve, she sent the advancing guards flying. Simultaneously, she ordered, “Seize them.” Her gaze shifted indifferently to the captain of the Song family’s secret guards.

“Yes.” Almost instinctively, the Song family’s secret guard captain responded. The moment the words left his mouth, he froze, glancing at their mistress. Seeing no reaction from her, he swiftly moved forward to seize the guards.

“I spare your lives for two reasons: first, I refuse to soil this courtyard with blood; second, I need you to deliver a message back—tell the Cheng family Patriarch to personally bring substantial gifts to apologize, otherwise, I won’t hesitate to make you suffer!”

As her words fell, she swept her sleeve again. The man kneeling on the ground was violently flung away, crashing beside the old man in the corner.

The Song family members hadn’t even had a chance to speak. No, more accurately, they had been frozen in shock the moment the green-clad woman appeared. Who was she? How dare she? And how had she so effortlessly reduced them to the brink of death, leaving them utterly powerless to resist?

“Throw them out of the Song manor.” Lady Song commanded.

“Yes, ma’am!” The shadow guards responded, swiftly dragging the men out of the estate.

She then ordered maidservants to clean the courtyard, thoroughly removing every trace of blood.

The Song family elders, other members, and the shadow guards all watched this scene in stunned silence. They had expected a fierce battle, perhaps even needing to intervene themselves. Yet suddenly, it felt as though they had merely come to make up the numbers, utterly useless.

Under cover of night, as the discarded Cheng family guards escorted the dying men away, the Song family’s secret guards dispatched one or two men to secretly follow them.

Back in the main courtyard, Feng Jiu turned to Lady Song and said, “Now that we’ve driven them out, there shouldn’t be any trouble for the time being. Have someone check on that woman in the room to see what’s going on. I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m going back to rest.”

With that, she waved her hand and strode toward the exit, intending to return to her quarters for sleep.

After she departed, the Old Predecessor of the Song family gathered around and asked, “Who is she? How did she get involved in this? Now that the elders of the Cheng family have stripped their cultivation and suffered grievous injuries, who is it that dares demand the Cheng family come apologize? Is that even possible? I fear our Song family has stirred up a huge mess this time.”

The elders shook their heads and sighed softly. Recalling tonight’s events, their moods grew increasingly heavy.
