Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 383 Pretending to be a Pig to Eat a Tiger (3)_1

He was hurled backward dozens of meters. With several THUDS, he tumbled, coughed up fresh blood, and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. Li Zhaode was directly blasted to bits, pieces of him scattering and falling to the ground. The other five younger members fell unconscious.Shangguan You blew the smoke from the cannon’s mouth, quite pleased with the destructive power she had unleashed. Seeing the people lying on the ground, spitting blood incessantly, her dark figure swooped down from mid-air. She began to approach the eight individuals, step by step.

She had only tested the power of this Sky-Piercing Cannon once before, and this was only the second time. She really hadn’t expected it to be so formidable.

"If you kill us, you will be pursued by all cultivators. No matter where you flee, you will face certain death," Fang Qingrong gasped out as he tried to sit up. However, his internal injuries were too severe, and with his Spiritual Energy depleted, he simply couldn’t manage it.

"PFFT." Li Chengping, looking at the shattered Li Zhaode, spat out another mouthful of blood. "Elder, by injuring a member of our Li Family, the Li Family will not let you go!"

"Hmph! If I dare to take action, I’m not afraid of your revenge. I want to make an example of you so that you won’t forget this. I’m not afraid of your Hidden World Family, nor your retaliation! What I set my sights on, no one can snatch. And no one can control me—unless I voluntarily allow it." Shangguan You’s voice was chilly and menacing as she stared coldly at the group.

Her mouth turned up slightly as she looked at the severely injured and unconscious group.

"What exactly do you want, Elder?" Zhuge Yang asked weakly, lying prostrate on the ground.

"I just want to prove my capabilities to you all. Not only do I possess the four Spiritual Pearls, but I can also concoct medicine and perform Artifact Refining myself. I am a treasure trove. Getting me to concoct medicine for you is not impossible. However, if you want to discuss terms, have your Family Head come talk to me personally. And I’m not limited to just making the Spirit Gathering Pill."

Shangguan You let out a cold laugh. Eight Hundred Spirit Pills, for treating internal injuries, appeared in her hand and swiftly flew into the mouths of the eight people.

"Try this. This is my Hundred Spirit Pill." Shangguan You’s form flashed, and she once again seated herself on the throne suspended mid-air.

No sooner had the Hundred Spirit Pills entered their mouths than a warm current flowed through their bodies, visibly speeding up the healing of their meridians.

「Ten minutes later」

The injuries of the three elders were completely healed, and the five who had fallen unconscious also woke up.

Li Chengping was now stunned by the strength Shangguan You had displayed, so much so that he didn’t even dwell on the death of Li Zhaode.

"Heh, that’s nothing. My Immortality Pill, Rejuvenation Pills, and Resurrection Golden Pill are far more formidable," Shangguan You boasted. Actually, she was just making these up. However, no matter who it was, everyone coveted things like an Immortality Pill or a Resurrection Pill.

"Elder, do you really have the Immortality Pill? And the Resurrection Pill?" Fang Qingrong was the first to cry out in astonishment.

"Hmph, believe it or not," Shangguan You’s voice turned cold, her entire demeanor emitting a chilling aura.

"Elder, that’s not what we mean," one of them quickly interjected. "It’s just that our Family Heads are very busy, and they’re all in seclusion. It might be difficult for them to come out personally and discuss terms with you. Perhaps it’s better if you come back with us to Hidden World Village, where you can name your conditions."

"Indeed, Elder," the three elders spoke in unison. The temptation of the Immortality Pill was too great; they were determined to bring Shangguan You back at any cost.

"I have unfinished business," Shangguan You murmured after a while, speaking coldly.

"If there’s anything the Elder needs, we can help see to it."

"There’s no need. My business does not require your interference," Shangguan You refused coldly.

"Otherwise, we can accompany you, Elder," the three elders proposed together, the allure of the Immortality Pill so overwhelming they were determined to bring her back, no matter the cost. "After you’ve finished your business, we can return together."

"I don’t want anyone meddling when I’m conducting my affairs," Shangguan You stated coldly. She was inwardly quite pleased. With that map, even without Second Young Master Ye, she could find her way there; she was going to pay back those old fools for daring to target the Shangguan Family, not to mention Zhuge Feng. "You leave a map of Hidden World Village and return for now. Once my business is completed, I will naturally come find you."

"Elder, we have some influence in the secular world too. We can assist you."

"Indeed, Elder, if you have any needs, we can go."

"We can also assist you, Elder. We’re willing to wait for you."

Shangguan You’s brows furrowed, irritated by these relentless old men.

"I don’t want any meddling in my affairs! Either leave the map, and I’ll come after my business is done, or get out of here now! I’m not interested in that Hidden World Village, nor do I want to be controlled by anyone," Shangguan You roared, her figure ascending towards the sky.

"We’ll wait for you in Hidden World Village, Elder. This is the map. When you decide to come, just activate this device, and it will display the Hidden World Village map. As soon as you open it, we’ll know your location and come to meet you," Fang Qingrong spoke quickly, throwing a black phone-like device into the air.

"Understood." Shangguan You caught it deftly, tossing it into her storage space. They can dream on if they think they can track me! Her dark figure swiftly vanished into the night sky. Shangguan You then entered her personal space and stealthily returned to their vicinity to eavesdrop.

"Is there really such a thing as an Immortality Pill or a Resurrection Pill in this world?" Zhuge Yue mumbled as he watched Shangguan You vanish.

"They say such things have appeared in legends, but whether they truly exist now is still unknown," one of them mused. "However, we’ve all experienced the efficacy of the elder’s pills—just after taking them, we recovered from such severe injuries almost immediately."

"That’s right. Whether it’s true or not, we’ve personally experienced the effects of his Spirit Gathering Pills and Hundred Spirit Pills," another added. "Therefore, regardless of whether he has the Immortality Pill or not, this elder cannot be offended."

"Elder, what should we do now?" Fang Jianfei asked, looking into the dark night sky. He felt there was something peculiar about Elder Meihua.

"Let’s return to the hotel for now and head back to Hidden World Village tomorrow. Once there, we will consult with our Family Head before deciding on the next steps."
