I’ve Reloaded the Save File! [Transmigration] 29

29: Decisive

In terms of talent, Yun Yu was actually the least talented in her master’s lineage. This was because her four junior sisters and brothers all had single spiritual roots or variant heavenly spiritual roots, while she only had a dual metal and earth spiritual root.

However, a dual spiritual root also had its advantages. The metal spiritual root gave Yun Yu’s sword stronger attack power, while the earth spiritual root made her physique superior to that of ordinary people. Whether it was defense or pure strength, she was above cultivators of the same level. This was the reason she could fight a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator with her bare hands.

In the eyes of the Fenghua City Lord, Yun Yu was just a thin and weak man. For him to choose to abandon his weapon and fight him directly was simply pitifully stupid.

The city lord’s confidence disappeared along with the blood he spat out the moment Yun Yu’s fist hit him.

If it weren’t for the city lord’s cultivation being a small stage higher than Yun Yu’s, he wouldn’t just be knocked back a few dozen meters now, but would have been knocked out directly.

“You… you’re a sword cultivator?” the city lord said, unable to help but cover his mouth. His jaw seemed to be broken, and it hurt like hell to speak.

“Of course, it’s just that you’re not worthy of me drawing my sword,” Yun Yu said, her gaze falling on the Cheng family head who had run over from the front hall.

The Cheng family head really hadn’t expected to see this scene. He had arrived at a very coincidental time, just in time to see Yun Yu send the city lord flying with a single punch, scaring him half to death.

A person who could defeat a Nascent Soul stage cultivator couldn’t possibly be just a Golden Core stage sword cultivator! These people had been plotting against him from the beginning, deliberately hiding their cultivation!

Sure enough, when the Cheng family head re-probed Yun Yu’s cultivation, he could only feel that the other party was much stronger than him, not the Golden Core stage cultivation he had probed before at all!

“Who… who on earth are you!” the Cheng family head murmured to himself. He was really panicked now. A Nascent Soul stage cultivator was really not someone he could afford to provoke, not to mention that these people also had a master.

To be the master of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, that must be a Spirit Transformation stage venerable! These people really were from a major sect! If not the Inquiring Dao Sect, then they were most likely disciples of the Enlightened Heart Sect!

The Cheng family head wanted to take advantage of the fight between Yun Yu and the city lord to run away, but he had just taken a step when Yun He blocked his path.

“Family Head Cheng, please wait a moment. I have a question for you,” Yun He said with a smile. “If I remember correctly, Family Head Cheng told us before that Young Master Hu was injured and recuperating. Why did we see Young Master Hu die from poison the moment we opened the door?”

“I don’t know, I’m not clear on that…” The Cheng family head was a little flustered. His only reliance now was his identity. As long as he could leave this sparsely populated place, even if the other party was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they couldn’t do anything to him if he didn’t attack.

That’s right! I’m the head of a major family. If they dare to attack, it’s tantamount to actively tarnishing their own sect and master! They must be people who care about their reputation!

“Since you’re not clear, then let’s sit down and have a good talk,” Yun He said, directly drawing her sword and placing it in front of the Cheng family head.

“This… this was all the Wang family’s idea. I was just instigated by him,” The Cheng family head didn’t dare to be forceful. He knew that as long as he tried to escape or resist, he would give Yun He a chance to attack.

On the contrary, as long as he cooperated a little now, Yun He, out of concern for the Inquiring Dao Sect’s reputation, would definitely not attack him easily. The Inquiring Dao Sect had always claimed to be benevolent, so their disciples should be the same!

“Senior Brother, are you leaving this person for me to practice on too?” As soon as the Cheng family head finished speaking, Zuo Wuyi had already caught up with her sword, a contemptuous smile on her face.

“Perfected Yun, I’m willing to say anything. You can’t let her kill me,” Seeing Zuo Wuyi come out, the Cheng family head panicked.

He didn’t know Zuo Wuyi’s background, but he knew very well how decisive she was when she killed people. If he were to face her, he would definitely not be able to escape death.

“Perfected Yun, don’t you want to find out the truth about the Hu family? I know what the truth is. As long as you protect me, I can testify for you that it was the Wang family who attacked the Hu family in the latter half of the night and took the opportunity to kill all those people!”

Seeing Zuo Wuyi getting closer and closer, the Cheng family head didn’t dare to hide anything. He spoke frantically, wanting Yun He to know that he was more valuable alive than dead!

“Didn’t you have a hand in this matter?” Yun He asked.

“No, I only sent a few people to assist the Wang family and provide a cover for them,” The Cheng family head’s ambition was not as great as the Wang family head’s. He had only promised to show up more after the fact, and had not really done much in the beginning.

“Perfected Yun, I won’t touch a single thing from the Wang and Hu families. I’ll leave everything to you to handle,” the Cheng family head said. “I implore Perfected Yun to protect me. I am truly repentant and truly admit my mistake.”

The Cheng family head’s words were very sincere. He was just short of kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Yun He in apology.

Yun He was kind-hearted by nature. After hearing the Cheng family head’s words, her heart began to waver. Since he had already confessed, could she consider letting him go for the time being? After he had told the truth, would it be more appropriate to hand him over to the victims to deal with?

Yun He was a little undecided. She looked at Mo Xiao with a conflicted expression, asking for her opinion.

“If I’m not mistaken, the incense burner in the front hall should have been laced with a sleeping drug,” Mo Xiao did not make the decision for Yun He, but stated her discovery. “If I didn’t have a special way to block it, Little Junior Sister and I would probably be dead by now.”

Hearing Mo Xiao’s words, Yun He immediately extinguished the kindness that had just sprouted in her heart and struck at the Cheng family head with her sword.

The Cheng family head had been on guard when Mo Xiao spoke. Not only did he dodge Yun He’s attack, but he also threw a pile of poisonous pills at her, trying to distract her and run away.

Yun He was kind, that was true, but the lives of her junior sisters were more important than anything in her eyes. She would never waste her kindness on such a person!

After deciding to draw her sword, Yun He eliminated all unnecessary thoughts. She had only one goal: to kill the Cheng family head with her sword. This person, who wanted to harm her senior and junior sisters, must die!

The details of the one-sided battle will not be repeated. After two quarters of an hour, most of the bones in the city lord’s body were broken, and he was lying on the ground, breathing more out than in.

As for the Cheng family head who wanted to run away, his head had already had an intimate contact with the ground. Even though he was no longer breathing, his eyes were still wide open, full of unwillingness.

“Normally, since we’ve caused such a big commotion, the best solution is to leave evidence of their wrongdoing and run, leaving the matter to the local authorities to handle,” Yun Yu said, wiping her hands with a cotton handkerchief.

“But the situation is a little different this time. The city lord of Fenghua City is also here and seems to be involved in this incident,” After wiping her hands clean, Yun Yu summoned a small flame and directly burned the cotton handkerchief.

“So, the one lying on the ground, you now have two choices,” Yun Yu smiled at the city lord lying on the ground. “Either you prove your innocence and help us clean up. Or we’ll just frame you as an accomplice and take your body to a nearby sect to let them clean up.”

“I… I just heard… heard that there were… Golden Core stage cultivators here…” the city lord said, enduring the pain of his broken bones. “I just wanted to get some benefits and useful things from you. I had no intention of killing you.”

The city lord’s words were half-truths. He indeed had no intention of killing anyone, but he did have the thought of seizing their treasures. He even had the thought of seizing their cultivation for his own use…

“That sounds like a lie. If you didn’t have that intention, why did you attack my Eldest Senior Brother?” Zuo Wuyi interrupted the city lord’s excuse. “Eldest Senior Brother, if you don’t act, something will definitely happen later.”

Because of the system, Zuo Wuyi had seen this kind of situation too many times in her previous life. As long as the villain was given a chance to explain, they would either run away, succeed in a sneak attack, or wait for some particularly troublesome sect to arrive and complicate a simple matter.

The most hateful thing was that those self-proclaimed righteous cultivators would give those people a light sentence, calling it atoning for their crimes with meritorious service. In fact, they had just accepted the other party’s benefits and then made a big deal out of nothing.

“This… this is all a misunderstanding. It was the Cheng family who said you intended to harm Young Master Hu, so I rushed over. I was just anxious to save someone…” The city lord’s eyes flickered for a moment.

“Eldest Senior Brother, kill him. He’s not a good person,” Zuo Wuyi no longer wanted to delve into the city lord’s actions and words. There were too many loopholes, she couldn’t even be bothered to point them out.

“He’s the city lord. If we kill him, I’m afraid…” Before Yun Yu could finish, she heard a “spare him” from a distance.

Before she could react to who had come, Yun Yu thought of Zuo Wuyi’s words just now. She subconsciously drew her sword, injected her spiritual energy into it, and directly shattered the city lord’s nascent soul, crippling his cultivation.

This set of actions was very smooth, so smooth that even Zuo Wuyi and Mo Xiao were surprised.

“It seems we’ll have to stay here for a long time,” Yun Yu unhurriedly finished the last half of her sentence. “I hope it won’t delay Little Junior Sister’s cultivation.”

As soon as Yun Yu’s voice fell, a large group of cultivators in uniform rushed over, clearly with ill intentions.
