Chapter 479 - 326: Deadly Strike in the Dark Night
Chapter 326
The elderly lady had been well-nourished over the years, with Sui Yi frequently using magnetic energy to free her body from ailments, so even though she had contracted a terminal illness, she still looked rosy and cheerful every day. Kind and amiable, she was very well-liked, and even people like Gong Jiu always enjoyed acting coquettishly around her....
Yet, such a long-lived person suddenly passed away overnight.
The thought made Gong Jiu’s eyes redden, and indeed, they did.
After an indeterminate amount of time had passed, Gong Jiu finally said, "Sui Yi...."
"I’m unharmed..." Sui Yi closed his eyes, breathing shallow and faint, barely perceptible.
That’s clearly not being unharmed.
No one spoke, the only sound was that of the carriage moving through the flow of carriages...
The old lady was gone, and according to custom, they had to prepare her body and begin mourning, needing to arrange for it that very day... even if Sui Yi and the others were reluctant, there was no other option.
Sui Yi’s villa was usually quiet, but now it was bustling with people coming and going, mainly professionals handling the funeral arrangements...
Xiao Ran and the other neighbors were shocked to hear the news, but they knew it wasn’t the time to inquire, so they could only use their own connections to investigate...
Before they could discover the truth, that very night, Sui Yi, who had been leaning by the window of the study for half the day, slowly stood up straight, walked past the bookshelf, and casually picked up the Demon Que Sword resting on it. The clanging sound as he thrust it into the sword buckle on his belt was assertive. On the left side hung the Sealed Dragon Blade...
Soon after, a car noiselessly left the villa like a ghost.
————————
The Yun Family’s residential area was a large estate, filled with countless villas, but the central villa was the most conspicuous. However, tonight it seemed especially gloomy, the lights that would usually shine all night were now dimmed.
When Sui Yi pushed open the main hall’s doors, the lights flicked on instantly, and seated on the sofa in the hall were numerous elders, with numerous people standing... among them was Yun Hai, his eyes bloodshot.
But he did not speak, leaving it to Yun Xilai to talk.
Yun Xilai sat in the chief seat, one hand resting on a dragon-headed cane. His back was straight, his eyes wolfish, staring at Sui Yi with a faint smile; "Just as I expected, someone as arrogant as you couldn’t endure the night. You really think you can single-handedly decimate the Yun Family? Such naivety..."
Contempt and pride, separated by a mere thought.
Sui Yi stood alone to one side, facing at least seven Yun Family masters with over a hundred-years of Inner Strength, as well as hundreds of hidden Yun Family Death Soldiers...
She looked down slightly, shifting her stance just a bit as she faced these people head-on.
A fan-shaped door in the Xuanguan separated them.
"You are more cautious than I, having moved all the women and children elsewhere... afraid, are we?"
Fear!
It was like poking at a scar, a group of people whose ages combined over a thousand years now sneered repeatedly, their angry shouts filled with bloodlust.
A cold sneer seemed to stretch from the gaps in Yun Hai’s teeth: "Sui Yi, look here,"
He clapped his hands, and the enormous snow-white wall under the light revealed the portrait of Yun Junyan.
"Yanyan was the most outstanding descendant of this generation in the Yun Family, and you killed him... Today, with your visit, our Yun Family will claim your head to mourn him!"
"The most outstanding?" Sui Yi looked down, "I beg to differ."
The audacity!
An elder, unable to restrain himself, sprung from the sofa, his hands like tiger claws, a hundred years of Inner Strength gathered at his fingertips!
A second elder also leaped up swiftly like a cheetah, reaching her in a blink of an eye, his movements as swift as the wind and as fierce as a scream...
Speed and power that did not match the old man’s age!
Frightening!
Frightening? The only person at this place who could be frightened was Sui Yi, but she was not. Instead, her right hand gripped the hilt of the Demon Que Sword, and as the sword was drawn, a chilling sound, like that of a bird, echoed.
The first strike of Empty Mountain Flowing Blade: Empty Mountain Birdsong.
Thump!
The elder’s neck slanted, his body somersaulted backward, a red spot on his neck where the sword had hit. His body twitched.
Pierced the trachea.
The others were shocked, and in that shock, another hand chop came down...
Before the sword reached, the Sealed Dragon Blade was thrown...
Flying Spirit Streaming Light!
Thump!
The second person was nailed dead against the wall of the air gate, Sui Yi approached, one hand holding the Demon Que Sword, the other pulling out the Sealed Dragon Blade, advancing towards the Yun Family members...
A breath’s silence, and a second breath’s chaos erupted!
The vast and ferocious Inner Strength almost filled the entire hall in an instant, while on the second floor, numerous snipers aimed their rifles...
Infrared locked on...
Kill, kill, kill!
At a distance of three to four hundred meters, in a villa at the side gate, a group of pampered and privileged ladies and a bunch of equally spoiled and unruly young members of the Yun Family gathered there.
Perhaps because of Yun Junyan’s death, they had lost their usual mood for entertainment, appearing sorrowful, though how many were truly grieving was another matter...
Perhaps with Yun Junyan’s death, the ones who benefited the most were all the people here...
The second, third, fourth branches... brothers and others...
Suddenly, a youth said, "Are Grandfather and the others going to deal with that person named Sui Yi?"
"It seems so... I heard that Sui Yi killed Junyan."
"To deal with one person, does it require mobilizing so many people from our Yun Family? They’ve even called in the strongest Guard..."
"After all, the Guard is here to protect us. It’s not a bad thing..."
"Well, that’s true..."
On the second floor, two old men sat facing each other.
"Fourth brother, I have a bad feeling, it started this morning with my left eyelid twitching nonstop... Maybe this time... our Yun Family’s luck has run out,"
"That’s fate for you. I’ve warned Big Brother and the rest not to be so extreme in their actions. That girl from the Tang Family was a warning sign... It’s a pity they didn’t believe it, and stubbornly lit this fuse. Look at those youngsters below, haha, even if Sui Yi doesn’t have the capability to annihilate our Yun Family today, even in the days to come... the Yun Family won’t last much longer,"
"Civilizations fail after three generations, martial prowess doesn’t last beyond one. That man from the Tang Family spoke truthfully, our Yun Family for three generations, couldn’t produce a single scholar. As for martial arts, Yun Li was somewhat decent, but he was wayward and sinister, unable to achieve greatness, and ended up crippled... Now all has come to pass..."
As they spoke, they suddenly realized that there had been silence below for a long time, so quiet as if their conversation had been overheard by those incompetent people. They exchanged glances, stood up, walked over to the balustrade, and saw below a group of people collapsed, unconscious...
A person sat on the sofa, holding a cup of tea, raising their face to look at them, a face so beautiful it was demonic.
"Rare to see two insightful individuals in this family... why not come down for some tea?"
As if this place was her home.
The expressions of the two old men twitched, their gazes shifted, and they saw another woman standing by the wall gazing at a mural.
The woman turned her head and glanced at them, her eyebrows and eyes picturesque, her voice cold and clear: "On my way here, out of ten paintings, nine are forgeries... Three uneducated generations, indeed true to the saying"
Was that a compliment?
Slap in the face, their faces swollen!
The two elders were admittedly at a loss for words, one breath in, and one of the elders then sighed: "Both of you didn’t help Sui Yi, but came here instead, could it be you’ve come specifically for us two?"
"When one person can handle a matter, why bother sending three...," Eastern Lady put down her teacup, looking at them: "Since the Inner Strength has been stirred, why wait for the wind to rise..."
One elder frowned: "All eyes on Sui Yi, yet we missed you two... the Yun Family truly deserved its downfall."
With a sigh, the two suddenly drew their weapons...
Knives, swords, hidden weapons unleashed!
Below...
Eastern Lady flicked her fingertips, shooting out two silver needles, with red threads piercing through...
Killing in the blink of an eye.
It was all but a thread of silver needles.
After blinking, Eastern Lady had already retracted the red threads, the silver needles floating into her sleeve.
Jiang Chenyu opened her mouth and asked a question.
"Isn’t it dangerous, to keep needles in such a small cuff, aren’t you afraid of pricking yourself?"
Quite a unique post-battle conversation.
Eastern Lady’s gaze swept over, cold as frost, indifferent yet bone-chillingly cold.
"My needles never even touch the blood of others, let alone my own...""
"Perhaps it’s because the skin is too thick, immune to puncture," Miss Jiang kindly offered an explanation.
"What cannot be pierced has always been the heart, not the skin,"
Jiang Chenyu fell silent, watching Eastern Lady carelessly walk away with her hands behind her back, her footsteps slow and indolent.
Another heartless person.

Inside the Yun Family’s main house.
When Sui Yi came out, Gong Jiu and the others were already there.
Everyone watched her descend the steps, holding the Demon Que Sword, the blood dripping along the sword shocking to witness.
The red was hair-raising.
What was more terrifying was Sui Yi... in the past, even when she killed, Sui Yi was always composed and spotless, untouched by even a speck of blood.
But now...
The fear gripped the heart.
It was as though the elongating shadow behind her could leap out and start a massacre at any moment.
And behind her was a crescent moon, slowly being covered by dark clouds.
Feng Sha was the one to break the silence, "Ninth Miss, we went inside to disable the surveillance system..."
"No need... it’s already broken," Sui Yi turned around, inserting the Demon Que Sword at her waist, took a shallow breath, Eastern Lady suddenly stepped forward, placing a finger on Sui Yi’s forehead.
This action frightened Gong Jiu and the others, what are you doing!
"Your heart is in turmoil, Sui Yi..." Dongfang Bubai withdrew her finger, brushing past Sui Yi’s forehead, then suddenly propping her hand on her shoulder.
"Perhaps I should take you to kill some more people..."
Sui Yi looked up at her, closed her eyes, her breathing seemed heavy, and in the silence, everyone heard her voice: "I’m going to a place, please... take care of things here for me,"
Gong Jiu and the others were stunned, but nodded automatically, "Okay."
When they came to their senses, Sui Yi had already left, and Gong Jiu and the rest did not stay either. They couldn’t leave now; they had to deal with the aftermath at the Yun residence, but Sui Yi didn’t seem quite right either.
Gong Jiu unconsciously looked towards Flower Demon, coughing: "About Sui Yi..."
"I’ll go," Flower Demon interrupted her.
"No, I’ll go! Don’t you fight me for this!"
"Get lost!"
Just as the two were about to break into a fight, Feng Sha had to remind them: "Eastern Lady and Miss Jiang have already left"
"!!!!!"
