Shangguan Chuxue watched the scene with a satisfied expression as she observed Su Muwan's calm demeanor on the screen.
Very good, to remain composed in the face of such a situation. Only someone like this is worthy of being my opponent.
As for her sidekick...
Shangguan Chuxue glanced at Qin Luo, a playful smirk curling her lips as a glint of interest flickered in her eyes.
Is this Su Muwan's most loyal follower?
Interesting.
However, Yuwen Hua and the others overestimated this sidekick.
After all...
What can a mere follower possibly achieve?
With that thought, Shangguan Chuxue's mind stirred.
A command was transmitted.
At the same time, Song Ming suppressed the inexplicable discomfort in his heart, perhaps driven by a desire to redeem himself or to establish his authority in front of everyone. Pointing at Su Muwan, he roared, "Su Muwan!! Your end is near!"
"Pretending to be calm now is useless!!"
As he spoke, the Black Robe Elder, having received Shangguan Chuxue's command, disdainfully chuckled and shook his head. "Song Hall Master, don't waste your breath on her."
"Together, you and I..."
He looked up at Su Muwan, his fists clenching with a sound like popping beans. Then, with a contemptuous gaze, he slowly said, "First, we'll cripple her limbs and destroy her dantian."
"After that... we'll wipe out the Su family and take over Jiang City!!"
The words fell, and the confidence of everyone present soared.
"Exactly!"
"Destroy Su Muwan! Destroy the Su family!"
"Destroy Su Muwan! Destroy the Su family!"
Everyone chanted in unison.
Song Ming took a deep breath, looking at Su Muwan as he bellowed, "Su Muwan! Look around!"
"These people are members of the various Jiang City factions that you've oppressed for years!"
"Destroying you is what the people want!"
"If you have any last words, you can say them now!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Hao, the head of the Jiang family, stepped forward.
Pointing at Su Muwan, his face twisted with rage as he cursed, "Su Muwan!!!"
"You killed my daughter! You ruined my family's relationship with the Divine Physician!"
"Now you're weak and alone!! Even your subordinates have abandoned you!!"
"Look at the four major districts of Jiang City's underworld that you once controlled! They're now on our side!"
"So tonight!!! Is your death sentence!!!"
Shangguan Chuxue watched the live broadcast with a playful expression.
However...
What puzzled her was...
Why?
Why is Su Muwan still so calm at a time like this?
Especially when she sees her own people betraying her, why does she still look so composed?
Any normal person, upon being betrayed, would at least show some emotional reaction, right?
But... why doesn't Su Muwan?
Just as she thought this...
The next moment, an unexpected scene unfolded.
Su Muwan's face showed no sign of panic or distress, as they had anticipated.
Instead...
A sly smile curled her lips, and when she looked at Song Ming and the others, she even revealed a trace of disdain.
"Jiang family, Song family, Feng family..."
The names of various Jiang City factions were recited like a menu.
Song Ming frowned at the mention.
What is Su Muwan doing?
Why do I suddenly feel a sense of foreboding?
"And... Rakshasa Palace..."
As Su Muwan said this, she placed her hand gently on the armrest of the throne beside her.
Her smile gradually faded, her voice as cold as the depths of hell, "These factions..."
"Qin Luo... destroy them all for me."
Qin Luo smiled faintly and replied, "Yes, Miss."
The words fell.
!!
Everyone's expressions froze.
Destroy?!
Destroy us?
How? With what? Just by yourself?
The next second.
Qin Luo stepped forward, his expression mocking as he taunted, "Small fry."
"This farce is over."
As he spoke, he spread his fingers: "Who said..."
"That we are weak and alone?"
Snap!
With a light snap of his fingers.
In an instant.
Clang clang clang!!!
More than half of the people on Song Ming's side suddenly turned their weapons against their own allies.
"!!!"
"Ugh—!"
"Wang Liang, why...?"
"Sorry, I'm a mole."
Song Ming: ?!!
Shangguan Chuxue: ?
Those whose heads were now pointed at by weapons: ?!!
What?!
Three blades pressed against Jiang Hao's neck.
This sudden turn of events made his expression freeze in shock.
What?
What's going on?
Song Ming's expression also stiffened.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
The four major districts of the underworld that had been turned against Su Muwan... were now all attacking the people of Rakshasa Palace?!
Spy within a spy within a spy?!
I've been deceived??
Realizing this, Song Ming's expression twisted with rage.
He clenched his fists and turned to look at Su Muwan, who was still coldly indifferent.
He roared, "Su Muwan!!!"
"So you were waiting for us to come here and walk into your trap today!!!"
Song Ming was so furious that he felt like fainting. He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing.
He had thought he had the upper hand today, but...
More than half of the people here were actually on the other side?!!
This... this...
Gritting his teeth, Song Ming's eyes twisted with rage as he inwardly bellowed at Su Muwan.
Su Muwan!!! You venomous woman!!!
You set such a treacherous trap!!!
Meanwhile, the Black Robe Elder, witnessing the scene, couldn't help but twitch his eye.
So, they're all moles?
Thinking this, he mentally asked,
[Your Excellency, what should we do now?]
Shangguan Chuxue, watching this unfold, slowly lowered the smile on her lips.
She took a deep breath, her eyes darkening. "Continue."
Su Muwan, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have such a move.
This feeling of having my plans disrupted... is indeed unpleasant.
However, it doesn't matter.
Shangguan Chuxue looked at Su Muwan with an arrogant gaze.
Su Muwan, only someone like you is worthy of being my opponent.
These small fries are useless anyway.
The key lies with the two Peak Masters.
Inside the hall.
Receiving the message, the Black Robe Elder coldly looked up at Su Muwan.
He said coldly, "Su Muwan, it seems you do have some tricks up your sleeve."
"But so what?"
As he spoke,
Boom!!
The Black Robe Elder's aura surged, his feet slowly lifting off the ground.
He looked at Su Muwan with mockery. "With two Peak Masters like Song Ming and me here, you... how can you possibly stand against us?!"
"These small fries... what can they do for you?!"
The Black Robe Elder's face was full of arrogance as he disdainfully said, "Su..."
Before he could finish.
"Destroy."
A cold voice instantly interrupted the elder's words.
Everyone saw.
Su Muwan slowly raised her head, her red lips slightly parted, and merely glanced at the Black Robe Elder...
The next moment.
Hum!
A dazzling, bone-chilling rainbow of ice suddenly erupted from Su Muwan's body!
The light was as cold as the depths of an icy hell!
In an instant, it enveloped the Black Robe Elder's entire body!
"What?!!"
The Black Robe Elder's face drastically changed. He immediately felt an indescribable pressure descending, as if it would crush him.
"Defend!!"
He roared, using all his true energy for defense.
However...
Pfft!!
Like a mirror shattering.
The Black Robe Elder's pupils contracted, his body stiffening for a moment.
Boom!!
In the shocked gazes of everyone, the Black Robe Elder's body... suddenly turned into ice crystals and dissipated into dust!
Sss!!
In an instant, the entire room fell into silence.
And then, Su Muwan's contemptuous words reached everyone's ears.
They looked over.
Su Muwan leaned on the armrest of the throne, a sly smile curling her lips: "Heh..."
"Is this your confidence, Song Ming..."
"Truly boring."
As Su Muwan's words fell,
Everyone could clearly feel the overwhelming malice radiating from her.
This malice, like a dark tide, quickly spread, almost covering the entire space.
"!!!"
"Sss!"
Even those watching the live broadcast through their phones could clearly feel the terrifying pressure that seemed to grip their throats!
The viewers in front of their screens involuntarily held their breath, feeling a chill run down their spines.
All the members of the various factions present were overwhelmed by an irresistible fear, as if they were trapped in an endless abyss of darkness.
That bottomless malice seemed intent on devouring their very souls.
Their pupils dilated in shock.
A single glance to obliterate the peak?!
Is this...
Su Muwan?!
