Chapter 971 Let everything turn to ashes.

Su Chenyin raised an eyebrow and slowly walked to Elder Mo, "So you are Elder Mo from Medicine Saint Valley."

She tilted her head to look at Elder Mo, and suddenly chuckled, "Did you cure the poison in Ximen Lie and the others?"

Elder Mo's expression froze, then he grinned: "That's right! If it weren't for my secret blood exchange technique..."

He suddenly stopped, his cloudy eyes trembling violently, "Wait... Did you poison them?"

"That's right." Su Chenyin's lips curled up slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes. "I'm very curious, how did you solve my 'Seven Days Soul Devouring Powder'?"

Elder Mo suddenly attacked, and twelve poisonous needles flew out of his sleeves.

However, when the needle tip was three inches away from Su Chenyin, it suddenly stopped, as if it had hit an invisible barrier.

He was horrified to find that the spiritual energy in his body was like a drop in the ocean, and it seemed as if millions of ants were gnawing at his meridians.

"You...what did you do to me?!" He collapsed to the ground, his boils turning purple out of fear.

"I didn't do anything." Su Chenyin looked innocent.

Elder Mo's expression changed, and then he became tough again: "Let me go! I am the elder of Medicine Saint Valley. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, Medicine Saint Valley will never let you go!"

He secretly hated the situation. If his cultivation had not been suddenly suppressed for some unknown reason and his spiritual power had not been immobilized, he would have killed these ignorant youngsters long ago.

"Medicine Saint Valley will not let you go!" Elder Mo roared, his voice getting weaker and weaker, "I am..."

"Shut up!" Su Chenyin interrupted his roar, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "You are really noisy."

She stood up and looked down at Elder Mo, "Since you won't tell me, I'll check it myself."

Before she finished her words, a golden line suddenly shot out from her fingertips and instantly penetrated into Elder Mo's brow.

“Soul-searching technique?! No——” Elder Mo’s whole body convulsed as he screamed.

Su Chenyin closed her eyes and concentrated, the golden thread flickering between her and Elder Mo.

Elder Mo's bloody memory fragments - the dark dungeon, the screaming villagers tied to the stone pillars, the child whose blood was drained and turned into a dried human...

Elder Mo let out a shrill scream, his face twisted and deformed, and his limbs twitched continuously.

After a moment, Su Chenyin retracted the golden thread.

Elder Mo collapsed to the ground, his eyes dull and saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth. He had become an idiot.

Su Chenyin stood up, her skirt fluttering without wind, and her eyes, which always had a smile on their faces, were filled with frost.

"How is it?" Su Yi stepped forward and asked.

Su Chenyin's face was as gloomy as water: "He used countless Ximen family disciples and civilians captured from outside to purify the toxins bit by bit through the evil blood exchange technique."

"What?!" Ji Li'er's face turned pale, "Then... those innocent people..."

"They are all dead." Su Chenyin said coldly, "They drained the blood of at least a thousand people alive, four-fifths of whom were innocent civilians, and half of them were young girls."

She suddenly remembered the scene she saw when searching her soul -

In the dark dungeon, there were dying people hanging on chains. Elder Mo was collecting their blood one by one with a jade bottle, muttering "too many impurities".

What is even more outrageous is that he actually used young children as "medicine leads" simply because children's blood is purer.

Everyone's face changed when they heard this.

Mu Xin covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

There was murderous intent in Su Yi's eyes.

Lu Yanchen, Lu Ziche and others clenched their fists until their knuckles turned white.

"I remember..." Ji Li'er's voice trembled, "A month ago, although I was locked in a dark room, I vaguely heard the guards at the gate saying that the Ximen family had recruited hundreds of craftsmen on the pretext of repairing the mansion..."

"Those craftsmen never came out again." Su Chenyin continued.

She saw the scene from Elder Mo's memory - in a dark room, hundreds of ragged craftsmen were chained, watching their blood being drained away bit by bit, and eventually turning into mummies.

"Beast!" Mu Xin cursed, his face full of anger.

Lu Ziche's eyes flashed coldly: "He doesn't deserve to live in this world."

Ji Lier suddenly rushed forward and stabbed Elder Mo's heart with a dagger.

Su Yi hurriedly grabbed her wrist: "Don't dirty your hands."

"Let me do it!" A cold light flashed in Su Chenyin's eyes, and he raised his hand to condense an ice cone.

The ice cone broke through the air and pierced Elder Mo's heart accurately, nailing him to the charred beam.

Blood dripped down the ice cone and formed a small pool of blood on the ground.

Elder Mo's body trembled, and then he became limp and motionless, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes disappeared.

"Chen Yin?" Mu Xin asked softly, "Didn't you say you wanted to test the poison before? Why..."

Su Chenyin took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands slowly: "He is not worthy of wasting my poison."

The handkerchief fluttered down and covered Elder Mo's hideous face, and was instantly soaked with blood.

There was a roar of a building collapsing in the distance.

Everyone looked back and saw the Ximen family's training building tilting in the flames.

Su Chenyin said coldly, turning and walking towards the main hall, "Let's go and see what else is in the Ximen family's treasure house."

Everyone followed Su Chenyin to the Ximen family's underground treasure house.

The heavy black iron door had been violently broken open, revealing countless rare treasures, elixirs, and skills.

"These..." Ji Lier looked at the dazzling array of treasures and said softly, "Many of them were obtained at the cost of the lives of innocent people."

Su Chenyin patted her shoulder and said, "You can use them to do some good deeds to comfort those dead souls."

Ji Lier nodded gratefully.

Lu Ziche was counting the treasures, and suddenly he said "Huh", and pulled out a bamboo scroll from the bottom of the box, "Taiyin Jue Xiang Pu? Isn't this..."

Ji Lier took the bamboo slips, her fingers trembling slightly.

This was the technique my mother practiced before she died, and there were dried bloody fingerprints on the title page.

She suddenly pressed the bamboo slips tightly against her chest, and her tears fell on the mottled bamboo slips.

After Su Chenyin and his men had plundered this treasure house, they also plundered all other treasure houses of the Ximen family.

With everyone's unanimous agreement, two-thirds of these treasures would go to Ji Lier, and the remaining one-third would be equally divided among Su Chenyin and the other eleven people.

When everyone had finished their distribution, they all stood on the ruins of Ximen's mansion again.

The moonlight illuminates this once glorious mansion, as if mourning for the lives lost.

Ji Li'er looked at this building that carried so much blood and tears. Every brick and stone seemed to be telling the story of her mother's despair and Yunniang's tragic death.

She looked up at the starry sky and suddenly chuckled.

The laughter startled a flock of crows, which fluttered over the smoking beams.

"Burn it." Ji Li'er's voice was filled with relief, and a leaf fell into the fire, "Let everything turn to ashes."

Su Chenyin nodded, and a ball of purple-gold flame leaped from his fingertips.

She flicked it lightly, and the flames landed on the eaves of the main hall and spread instantly.

Strangely, the flames only burned the buildings but did not harm any innocent flowers or plants.
