Chapter 2260: Using Mystical Art to Harm Others? Cripple Them!

Upon hearing Yan Zhong’s words, Tang Yichen spoke up, "Pah! Do you take us for fools? Do you know what Gu Xiaoxi does? She is a Mystic Master."

Tang Yichen’s words left Yan Zhong in silence.

His body stiffened for a few seconds, then he slowly raised his head to look at Gu Zhiqi, "Master, are you also a Mystic Master?"

"That’s great, we are in the same profession, you... hiss~"

Yan Zhong hadn’t finished his sentence when pain surged through his neck again.

Before Yan Zhong could say anything, Gu Zhiqi spoke, "Since you are a member of the Yan Family, you should know the family’s ancestral teachings. The Yan Family raises you, but is it to use Mystical Art to harm others?"

As Gu Zhiqi spoke, a chill ran up Yan Zhong’s spine, "You, who exactly are you?"

Instead of answering his question, Gu Zhiqi merely withdrew the sword in her hand. Seeing this, Yan Zhong thought Gu Zhiqi would let him go, but to his shock, in the next second, a hand pierced directly through his chest.

Yan Zhong’s eyes widened in horror as he looked at Gu Zhiqi, "You, you..."

Gu Zhiqi’s expression remained indifferent, her eyes filled with an underlying coldness, "Since you use Mystical Art to harm others, I’ll help you abolish your cultivation level."

Yan Zhong’s lips moved as if wanting to say more, but in the end, nothing came out, and he fainted directly.

After dealing with Yan Zhong’s matter, Gu Zhiqi finally shifted her gaze to Madam Bian and the butler beside her.

**

During the daytime, after Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling entered the Bian Mansion, they originally intended to head straight for the Head of the Bian Family. However, Gu Zhiqi soon changed her mind, deciding to disguise herself and Su Yunling to secretly investigate the Bian Family.

Arriving at the Bian Family by noon, the two spent the entire afternoon investigating matters concerning the family. Though they discovered no major issues with others, all problems revolved around three people.

One was the deceased Bian Xingyuan, another was Madam Bian, and the last was the butler by Madam Bian’s side.

These three individuals had clandestinely committed numerous deeds unbeknownst to the Head of the Bian Family.

Having uncovered evidence tied to these three, the pair planned to investigate further, but then they caught sight of Tang Yichen’s Snake Dragon from afar, prompting them to hurry over.

Fortunately, they arrived in time; otherwise, Tang Yichen might have met his end here.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi’s gaze on them, Madam Bian and the butler instinctively took two steps back.

"You actually dare to come to the Bian Mansion after harming my son in broad daylight, and now shamelessly show up in my son’s memorial hall, you... you are truly arrogant."

Madam Bian glared at them with an expression full of resentment, yet she dared not lay a hand on them, and clearly, she couldn’t.

Listening to Madam Bian’s words, Gu Zhiqi’s expression remained unchanged as she asked, "Was it your idea to have them accompany Bian Xingyuan in death?"

Hearing this, Madam Bian paused for a moment, "What if it was, and what if it wasn’t?"

Gu Zhiqi said, "If you care so much for your son, why not go accompany him yourself?"

Madam Bian sneered, looking angrily at Gu Zhiqi, "The enemy of my son still lives; how could I..."

Before Madam Bian could finish, Gu Zhiqi gripped her neck.

Gu Zhiqi lifted Madam Bian by the neck, raising her up, "Since you’re destined to kill me, why don’t I start by killing you instead."

Madam Bian struggled with all her might, her eyes fixed on Gu Zhiqi, a gurgling sound emanating from her throat.

As Madam Bian was about to lose consciousness, a group of people rushed over, "Stop! Stop!"

Upon hearing the voice, Gu Zhiqi’s grip slightly loosened.

In the end, she spared Madam Bian’s life but destroyed her cultivation base and foundation instead.
