Chapter 708: With a Trace of My Style
Bai Jingqing's face instantly turned gloomy as she coldly looked at Fang Ran, Lei Bao, Mo Tianhao and the others.
"What exactly is going on? Make it clear, how did Senior Sister Lin Yan die?"
"Junior Sister Bai, when we found Senior Sister Lin Yan, she had already been tortured to death. It was done by the scum of the Fang, Lei, and Mo families." Qing Lan said angrily.
Zi Yuan stepped forward and whispered the events into Bai Jingqing's ear. They didn't want to expose their connection with Qin Yi.
Bai Jingqing was taken aback; Qin Yi didn't inform her about this matter.
"Fang Ran, Lei Bao, Mo Tianhao, if you don't give me an explanation for this, don't blame me for being impolite." Bai Jingqing drew her longsword, her face full of murderous intent.
Nancheng Fei said: "Fairy Bai, isn't there some misunderstanding about this matter?"
"Shut up! I haven't even settled the score with you for what you did to me. Don't think you can just get away with it." Bai Jingqing said coldly, "If you insist on getting involved in this matter, I'll settle both old and new scores with you."
Nancheng Fei's face turned ugly; he had previously planned something nefarious against Bai Jingqing but was almost beaten to death by Qin Yi.
However, during this meeting, Bai Jingqing hadn't mentioned it, and he thought she was embarrassed to bring it up since it concerned her reputation. Seeing Bai Jingqing not mentioning it, he wouldn't foolishly bring it up either.
It turned out Bai Jingqing didn't mention it but instead remembered it keenly.
"You three must give me a satisfactory explanation." Bai Jingqing's delicate face was filled with fury, the longsword in her hand emitting a chilling sword qi as she pointed it at Mo Tianhao, Fang Ran, and Lei Bao.
The three exchanged glances, not expecting one wave to have just settled when another rose.
"Junior Sister Bai, is there some misunderstanding about this matter?" Mo Tianhao said with a smile.
He then looked at Zi Yuan and the others, "Did you personally see our people bullying the fairies from Baihua Pavilion and killing her?"
"We didn't witness it personally, but in that valley, I only saw disciples from your three families. If not them, then who?" Qing Lan said angrily.
"Frankly, it's all your speculation. You didn't see it with your own eyes and are basing it entirely on assumptions, which seems too arbitrary. There might be others at the scene whom you didn't notice." Fang Ran said with a smile.
"Nonsense, in that valley, only people from your three families were there; we couldn't have seen it wrong." Qing Lan shouted, then looked at Bai Jingqing, "Junior Sister Bai, it was indeed their people who defiled and killed Senior Sister Lin Yan."
"Junior Sister Bai, Senior Sister Lin Yan died so tragically, her eyes were still open at her death." Hua Rui said indignantly.
Bai Jingqing waved her hand, indicating the three need not say more.
"Mo Tianhao, Fang Ran, Lei Bao, I believe what my three senior sisters said. Hand over the murderer of our Baihua Pavilion disciple, or I'll speak with my sword." Bai Jingqing's eyes were icy cold.
Mo Tianhao and the others exchanged glances.
Fang Ran said: "Our people are right here, so please, fairies, point out who among us is the murderer of your Baihua Pavilion disciple."
"Those three are not here," Zi Yuan said.
Those scoundrels were already killed by Qin Yi, of course, they wouldn't reveal it, as doing so would expose their association with Qin Yi.
"Since they're not here, it's hard to conclude based solely on the words of the fairies that it was our disciples who committed the murder. Fairy Bai, words alone are insufficient; I suggest waiting for those three to return, and we can confront them directly." Lei Bao said.
"There's no need. An eye for an eye is a natural law. Since those three aren't here, hand over anyone at random, let me kill them, and the matter shall be settled." Bai Jingqing said coldly.
The three's faces changed slightly.
"Fairy Bai, grievances have origins, debts have owners; you're being too domineering." Mo Tianhao said angrily.
Bai Jingqing said coldly: "My Senior Sister Lin Yan was first defiled and then killed by the scum of your three families. Even if I kill all of you, it wouldn't ease the hatred in my heart. Now, demanding only three lives is already giving you face."
Mo Tianhao and the others exchanged glances, their eyes flickering slightly.
"Fairy Bai, the matter isn't clear yet, and you're so eager to kill our people. Do you think we would agree to it?" Fang Ran sneered.
Bai Jingqing took a step back, and everyone watched her in confusion.
Swish!
Suddenly, Bai Jingqing turned around and slashed with her sword, sending out a fierce burst of sword qi.
Thud!
With a scream, a Fang family disciple standing over ten meters away was instantly killed, his throat cut open, almost beheading him, and blood spattered three feet high.
Everyone was shocked, not expecting Bai Jingqing to suddenly kill.
"Bai Jingqing, are you asking for death?" Fang Ran roared.
Bai Jingqing sneered, "Disciples of Baihua Pavilion, stand behind me."
Several female disciples of Baihua Pavilion quickly dashed forward, joining Zi Yuan and the others behind Bai Jingqing, drawing their swords.
"Whether you agree or not, I'm going to kill them today. Though our Baihua Pavilion disciples are women, we are not prey to be slaughtered; if you bully us, prepare to pay the price."
"Don't think I don't know what you scoundrels have in mind. Do you really think our Baihua Pavilion disciples are fish on a chopping board for you to handle?"
"You are wrong. Harm a member of Baihua Pavilion, and I'll kill ten of you in return."
The sword qi danced upon Bai Jingqing's longsword, her white dress fluttered without wind, exuding an imposing aura.
"Little guy, Old Mo really found a good wife, huh?" Qin Yi secretly whispered, grinning and muttering to the little lamb in his arms. Bai Jingqing really had a bit of his flair—impressive.
"Mo Tianhao, Lei family, hand over one life to settle the debt. If you refuse, we'll speak with our swords." Bai Jingqing coldly stated.
"Bai Jingqing, do you really think we're afraid of you? Are you prepared to become enemies with our three families? A wise person knows when to yield; if a fight breaks out, more than just your Senior Sister Lin Yan will die." Mo Tianhao said menacingly.
"Bai Jingqing, our tolerance of you is merely due to the incomplete map on you. If you insist on taking action, we'll have no choice but to accompany you in battle."
"Though your cultivation is strong, maybe we can't keep you here. But you should consider the well-being of your Baihua Pavilion disciples."
Bai Jingqing sneered: "Threatening me? Disciples of Baihua Pavilion, draw your swords to avenge Senior Sister Lin Yan; let these scoundrels learn the fate that awaits those who kill our disciples—an endless vendetta."
Clap clap clap...!
Nancheng Fei clapped as he stepped forward, leering: "If that's the case, count me in. Wouldn't it be a waste to kill so many beautiful fairies? We've been in here for over ten days, and the days without women have been hard. Why not have some fun before killing them?"
"Mo, won't you stop me this time, will you? This woman has history with Mo Wuji; why not let us brothers have a taste? Baihua Pavilion's Holy Daughter—how does she compare to other women?"
Mo Tianhao's face twisted; he had long harbored hatred for Bai Jingqing's closeness with Mo Wuji, laughing lewdly, "Go ahead, everyone can have a turn later."
