"That's right."

Lin Fen did not deny his actions. He then laughed icily as he replied, "Those villagers had dug their own graves by taking you in! Especially since they had dared to lie about not having information on you when we arrived. They simply had not placed any importance on the Lin family. Most importantly, you had once escaped from the Lin family's grasp so you must be punished accordingly! We will punish you by killing all who are connected to you! How does it feel to see those who have helped you lying dead on the ground? Doesn't it feel unpleasant? Hahaha, this is exactly the result that I want!"

Gu Ruoyun slowly rose to her feet and replied indifferently, "Indeed, those villagers had taken care of me. However, they were only a group of common folk and were not even cultivators. The high and mighty Lin family wouldn't even spare a few commoners?"

"Common folk?" Lin Fen sniffed. "So what? It doesn't matter who it is, as long as the Lin family wants them dead, they must die! This is a world where only the strong are kings! Those weak little commoners have no right to live!"

"The weak have no right to live in this world?" A cold smile appeared on Gu Ruoyun's face as her clear eyes stared at Lin Fen's arrogant face. "I hope you remember everything that you've just said!"

"Hmph."

Lin Fen scoffed icily before he replied with absolute contempt, "Gu Ruoyun, at the end of the day, you're to blame for those villagers' deaths. You are the real sinner here. It's not the Lin family's fault that they had to die. If you had not gone anywhere else, they wouldn't have lost their lives. Hence, once we've added all these factors together, you're actually the villain! If you truly do pity those villagers, you should go and apologize to them... In hell! Haha! Men, attack! Everything is permitted even if you were to cripple this woman, just as long as you don't kill her!"

Gu Ruoyun's greatest form of usefulness to them was to be used as a means to threaten the Grand Lord Hong Lian.

Therefore, as long as she remains alive, there was not much of a limit to their actions even if they were to break her arms and legs.

Rah!

Once they heard Lin Fen's order, the cultivators of the Lin family immediately charged towards Gu Ruoyun.

Her fine, silky hair was dancing in the wild winds.

The woman curled her lips into a smile but that smile did not have any trace of warmth at all. Her smile was so cold that it was frightening.

"Lin Fen, are you sure that you want to use these guys to deal with me?"

"Gu Ruoyun, I've already destroyed your spiritual weapon! These Lin family members are more than enough to defeat you, there's no need for me to handle this personally!"

Lin Fen placed his hands behind his back as he stared scornfully at Gu Ruoyun who was under the group's attack.

There's no lack of high-level Martial Supremes amongst the Lin family members here and she's only a low-level Martial Supreme! How could she possibly measure up against these guys?

Hence, the conclusion is very obvious!

Boom!

At that moment, the aura from Gu Ruoyun's body began to overflow. Her quick and forceful gaze was like a sharp blade, invisible yet enough to kill a man!

"A mid-level Martial Supreme?"

Lin Fen was mildly shocked.

This little girl had only been a low-level Martial Supreme a month ago. I never expected her to break through to the rank of a mid-level Martial Supreme but so what? Even if she were a mid-level Martial Supreme, she can't possibly be able to defeat this many high-level Martial Supremes.

Just as he was about to sneer disdainfully at her, he suddenly noticed that Gu Ruoyun had taken a pill out.

That pill was the Supreme Mystery Pill which she had refined during the Medicine Sect's general meeting.

Initially, she had intended to wait until she has reached the rank of a high-level Martial Supreme before consuming the Supreme Mystery Pill to break through to the Martial Saint rank straight away. However, she could not wait any longer...
