Chapter 970: Determination
If it had been anyone else, they would have been killed on the spot. However, Aunt Yi was different. The Blood Beast Sect leader had been watching over her as she grew up. She was intelligent and lovable. The Blood Beast Sect leader treated her like a daughter even though she was never married. That was why she had spared her life.
“Thank you for not killing me, Sect Leader, but I have made up my mind,” said Aunt Yi gratefully. Then, she stood up, but she did not put the wooden box back. Instead, she hugged the wooden box tightly and took a few steps back. “Sect Leader, I also know the significance of this treasure to our sect. Once I have taken revenge for Fengyun, I will return it to you as it is. Then, I will be at your disposal.”
“Aunt Yi, are you really so stubborn?” The Blood Beast Sect leader shouted in a deep voice as Aunt Yi dared to negotiate with her.
“Sect Leader, I’m sorry.” Aunt Yi gritted her teeth and suddenly flew away.
“You want to leave?” The Blood Beast Sect leader roared and pounced after her.
Aunt Yi knew the Blood Beast Sect leader’s strength. She had long decided that if she didn’t succeed, she would still die trying. She fought back with all her strength.
The two palms met, and a powerful air current exploded.
Aunt Yi groaned as her body flew out and slammed heavily into the wall. The Blood Beast Sect leader was also forced back a few steps and her face turned ashen white.
“Sect Leader…you…” Aunt Yi looked at the Blood Beast Sect leader in surprise.
The Blood Beast Sect leader had cultivated for hundreds of years and her strength was already unfathomable. Killing her was as easy as flipping over one’s hand. Even if she wanted to let her live, she still wouldn’t be forced back a few steps.
“Aunt Yi, just give it up. I’m already at the end of the line and I’m afraid I won’t be able to live much longer. The treasure in your hand is our Blood Beast Sect’s last chance for survival,” said the Blood Beast Sect leader with a sigh.
Aunt Yi was stunned. She looked at the Blood Beast Sect leader, she looked tired and suddenly a myriad of thoughts appeared in her mind.
“Sect Leader, I’m sorry. As long as I am able to take revenge for Fengyun, I will return the treasure intact. Then, I will get rid of all distracting thoughts and dedicate my entire life to revitalize the sect,” said Aunt Yi resolutely.
If it was in the past, the Blood Beast Sect leader would have definitely feel gratified when she heard Aunt Yi’s proclamation. But now, she only felt deep regret. For the sake of her personal grudge, she was willing to disregard the survival of the sect. Was the Aunt Yi in front of her still the obedient and clever Aunt Yi who she regarded as her own daughter?
“Although my lifespan will be greatly reduced, do you really think you can walk out so easily?” The Blood Beast Sect leader threw out the last bit of pity in her heart. Killing intent appeared in her eyes as she suddenly out a desolate chant.
In an instant, the surrounding air began to boil, and endless pressure surged from all directions as the sounds of powerful beast roars from ancient times reverberated.
“Not good!” Aunt Yi’s expression changed. Although the Blood Beast Sect leader’s strength had been greatly reduced, she could still summon contracted demonic beasts. She had already seen through the sect leader’s plan. Once she had successfully summoned them, then Aunt Yi wouldn’t even have the chance to escape.
Aunt Yi gritted her teeth and attacked the Blood Beast Sect leader. She had to stop her or she would never have the chance to take revenge.
The Blood Beast Sect leader knew her situation and didn’t dare to be careless. She pushed out her palms evenly.
But at this moment, the Blood Beast Sect leader’s body suddenly swayed. She looked down in disbelief. A long sword pierced through her chest and fresh blood dripped down along the tip of the sword to the ground. One drop after another, the blood gradually converged into a line. It was a terrifying sight.
