Chapter 271 Misunderstanding resolved
Xiaoyue suddenly broke free from Daya's embrace, her eyes filled with coldness.
Her tone was even colder and more piercing as she retorted, "The plague in the Kingdom of Ling is something you, as the ruler of a country, should be concerned with."
The deep-seated hatred that the Qin state's shadow brought upon Su Family Village will be avenged by our own actions. We, the Su Family Village, will seek justice ourselves. We have never asked you for help!
King Ling heard Xiaoyue say that she would personally go to take revenge.
He sneered and said, "Revenge!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone saw a blur before their eyes, and the Spirit King had teleported to Xiaoyue's side like a ghost.
These actions happened so fast that no one even had time to blink.
Then Xiaoyue was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string.
"Xiaoyue, Sister Xiaoyue!"
Upon seeing this, Daya, Shanzi, and the others exclaimed in alarm and rushed towards the spot where Xiaoyue had fallen, using all their lightness skills.
Among them, Xiaoman was the fastest, arriving first at Xiaoyue's side, followed closely by Xiaolie.
Others also arrived one after another.
Xiaoman helped Xiaoyue, who was lying on the ground, to her feet.
Then, with a face full of concern, she asked, "Sister Xiaoyue, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Xiao Lie also anxiously asked, "Xiao Yue, are you hurt anywhere?"
"Xiaoyue, how are you?" "Sister Xiaoyue..." Concerned voices rose and fell.
After being helped up by Xiaoman and Xiaolie, Xiaoyue replied, "I'm fine!"
Xiaoman raised her head and looked angrily at the Spirit King, questioning, "Spirit King, why did you hit Sister Xiaoyue?"
King Ling ignored Xiaoman's questioning, staring straight at Xiaoyue, and said coldly, "Girl, you can't even withstand a casual move from me."
"How dare you boast to me, the King, about seeking revenge?"
Da Ya couldn't help but step forward, frowning as she said, "The Spirit King has gone a bit too far!"
King Ling snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "It's better to be defeated by me than to go and seek death!"
Hearing the Spirit King's forceful words, the group was filled with resentment, but they could only swallow their anger and remain silent.
Indeed, with their current strength, they might be able to hold their own against a Grandmaster (Middle Yuan Realm) expert for a few moves.
However, he could face a peerless master like the Spirit King, who was at the peak of the Grandmaster realm (the peak of the Great Yuan realm).
Let alone resist, they probably couldn't even see how the other side would make their move.
Back when Xiaoyue fought against that master Gu Xuanchao in Jiaxian County.
Although she was almost killed in the end, at least she wasn't too badly beaten when fighting against a Grandmaster.
However, she overlooked one point: at that time, she was using a forbidden technique within the Linglong Divine Skill, which allowed her to briefly exchange blows with the man.
At this moment, she was only at the first-class level, and before she could react, she was attacked by the Spirit King. Naturally, she had no time to react.
In fact, even if it were that man from Jiaxian City here, in such a completely unprepared situation, he would probably not escape the fate of being knocked away by the Spirit King.
The anger in Xiaoyue's eyes had not subsided, but it was now tinged with resentment.
She knew that although the King of Spirits' words were heartless, they were also true.
If this group of people wanted to avenge Su Family Village, their current strength would undoubtedly be like throwing an egg against a rock.
But this deep-seated hatred weighed on her heart like a boulder, making it impossible for either of them to let go.
Shanzi stepped forward, grasped Xiaoyue's shoulders with both hands, and said softly, "Xiaoyue, it's not too late to seek revenge after we've improved our cultivation level."
Xiaoyue nodded slightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes: "She knows!"
She knew, of course, that acting impulsively at this moment would be futile.
Only by increasing their strength can they one day avenge their enemies and seek justice for the 187 relatives who died in Sujia Village.
Within the tense atmosphere of the Illusionary Spirit Palace, Xiaoyue's mind was filled with doubts as dense as dark clouds.
The crux of the matter is no longer simply about whether or not to seek revenge.
The question is, how much credibility does the Spirit King have for each and every word he says?
The Spirit King was so kind to them that Xiaoyue couldn't help but become wary and suspect his ulterior motives.
King Ling first sent Hua Lingxing to Sujia Village.
After the massacre of Sujia Village, the Spirit King sent people to search for them and brought them to Linghuan City to settle them and give them a peaceful life.
Moreover, King Ling repeatedly tried to bestow official positions upon them, a gesture of profound favor.
Even after learning of Shanzi and Cai Yao'er's marriage, the Spirit King bestowed upon them many priceless treasures.
These events, one after another, seemed like an invisible rope in Xiaoyue's heart.
They wanted to slowly bind everyone in Sujia Village together.
She even felt that they were like caged birds imprisoned by the Spirit King.
King Ling turned and walked back to his throne, sitting down. He stared at Xiaoyue with eyes like an eagle and said, "I am really curious as to why you are so resistant to becoming an official."
I offered you official positions, but you refused.
We gave you the tokens, but you refused them.
The Kingdom of Ling is now on the verge of collapse, and you have so boldly refused my request.
Are you truly not afraid that in my rage I will order your execution one by one?
Upon hearing the Spirit King's threat, Xiaoyue showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she threw her head back and burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the empty palace, appearing particularly abrupt.
King Ling frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes as he questioned, "Girl, what are you laughing at?"
Xiaoyue stopped laughing and looked directly into the Spirit King's eyes, saying without fear, "Little Ya was right after all, serving a king is like serving a tiger!"
In your eyes, the life and death of us so-called ordinary people are like ants, and you can decide our fate with just a word.
But have you ever thought about it? The people of Sujia Village have never thought of relying on the kindness of others to live.
Everything you've given me, seemingly a blessing, seems to me more like a shackle.
The Spirit King's expression darkened, and a cold snort spread out, carrying with it a powerful aura.
"Shackles? I have put in a lot of effort to provide you with a place to live and survive in this chaotic world of war."
I only hope that one day you will be fully grown and able to contribute your modest strength to my Ling Kingdom, to fight against foreign enemies and protect my millions of people.
"You little brat, you actually mistake my sincere heart for a sinister plot?"
Xiaoyue sneered upon hearing this, her eyes filled with mockery and coldness.
"We, the people of Sujia Village, are truly not fortunate enough to receive King Ling's 'good intentions'."
We were just ordinary villagers in the mountains, only hoping to guard our meager plot of land and live a peaceful life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
But you don't know that from the day you sent Sister Yang to our Su Family Village.
Our peaceful lives were also disrupted.
I believe the massacre of Sujia Village has nothing to do with you.
But your kindness towards us makes me think all sorts of things!
