Chapter 5

"Die with me, you bastards!" He screamed like a cornered beast, his body visibly swelling as if it were a fermenting dough!

"Oh no, his cultivation technique is reversing, he’s going to self-destruct!"

The eunuch who had just landed a successful blow saw the abnormality and shouted with his high-pitched voice!

"Run!" Instantly, all the great cultivators tried to escape the kilometer range! A flash of light, and the eunuch Hong Wang, who was undoubtedly the strongest among them, had already fled nearly 500 meters!

The others weren't so lucky. Just as they had barely escaped 200 meters, Ye Lianhua had already initiated his self-destruction! At the same time, a sharp howl echoed: "Xuelun, hide in the cave, I'll find you in the next life! You two little sluts, I'll also fuck you to death in the next life! You wait!"

Before the words had even finished, a deafening explosion shook the heavens and earth, and a pillar of fire resembling a giant night-blooming cereus shot up into the sky! Its petals, as if endowed with intelligence, pursued the fleeing enemies at the speed of light!

With a hum, the divine weapon 'Huarui Xuerui' instantly inserted itself into the sheath Ye Lianhua had thrown aside before his death, wailing as it flew southeast, vanishing in a flash of blood!

"Damn it!" 'Boom, boom!' People were continuously hit by the terrifying self-destructive flames, screaming as they plummeted to the ground!

The flames reached the Saintess Wei Yan, who had a deathly pale face! Her pupils suddenly shrank to pinpricks, and she felt an overwhelming fear! "I didn't expect that Ye Lianhua would have such a terrifying self-destructive move when pushed to the brink. After all, a normal self-destruction wouldn't have this kind of power!"

Thinking this, she didn't dare to hesitate. Her black ring blade instantly spun at high speed, forming a black, airtight barrier that collided fiercely with the incoming flames! 'Ah!' She screamed as her body was thrown back by the force, spewing out a large amount of blood in mid-air. Although she was in a dire state, she managed to save her life, but severe injuries were inevitable!

On the other side, Li Xiangxiang's condition was similar. Protected by her weapon, she was also thrown far away, blood streaming down. She rolled nearly a kilometer in the air before regaining her composure, but the shock in her eyes was evident, clearly terrified!

The one who was least injured was the eunuch Hong Wang! He had fled 500 meters instantly, and although he was still caught by the flames, he managed to stabilize himself after retreating a few hundred meters, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his expression extremely serious!

The ground was left with several terrifying craters from the heavy bodies of the Gray Guards and the leaders crashing down!

After the flames subsided, the Saintess and the Investigation Bureau began to tally the losses, gritting their teeth in pain!

Of the 12 remaining Gray Guards of the Yunxiao Palace, only 3 were left, all severely injured and barely clinging to life, the rest were obliterated! The Saintess Wei Yan was also seriously injured!

On the side of the Investigation Bureau, only one man and one woman remained from the eight leaders, both critically injured and on the brink of death, it was uncertain if they could be saved!

Hong Wang was lightly injured, and Li Xiangxiang was severely injured!

The previous Saintess of Yunxiao Palace being defiled was tacitly hidden by the two factions, while the news of the Pavilion Master Lianhua's final punishment was announced to the world! For a time, the entire nation celebrated, and people joyfully bowed to the heavens, thanking them for their blessings!

The major figures who had achieved the greatest success were each rewarded, and the world finally returned to peace! Young women and housewives could finally see the light of day, and women's cosmetics began to gain popularity. Merchants, driven by profit, were overjoyed, praising the emperor's wisdom and the Yunxiao Palace's great achievements in eliminating the evil for the country!

For a time, the world presented a scene of prosperity, as if a peaceful and prosperous era had arrived!

But they didn't know that this was just the beginning of all major events! A remarkable person who would change the fate of the world was about to rise through this incident!

The execution of Ye Lianhua brought nationwide celebration! This event became one of the most talked-about topics among the people, and some people even compiled his scandalous life into secret stories that circulated underground, involving many noble ladies who had been defiled by Ye Lianhua. Although real names were not used, those with ulterior motives knew who was being described! After all, some girls were abducted in public, and it couldn't be hidden, such as the granddaughter of the current chief minister and the beloved daughter of a certain border general, and so on, too many to count!

Although the empire was extremely sensitive to any remarks with rebellious implications, these scandalous stories did not elicit a strong reaction from the empire! On the contrary, many noble ladies secretly read them with great interest, matching the described women one by one! For a time, the entire noble circle was in chaos, after all, these matters were better left unsaid.

After the demon was executed, a large number of abducted noble women were rescued from a secret location! Their identities were strictly kept confidential by the emperor's order, and the high-ranking officials of the Investigation Bureau, who knew the inside story, naturally kept their mouths shut! The well-informed noble circle was also unclear about who was involved! The reason for this was that such matters were a disgrace to the family name. When some noble families' inner women were abducted, they saw Ye Lianhua's unique mark—the blood-colored night-blooming cereus—and knew that reporting to the authorities would be futile, so they didn't take such useless actions. Instead, they secretly mobilized their forces to search! In this way, when these girls were returned by the Investigation Bureau, their reputations were still intact! Even if they had been missing for a long time, it wouldn't raise suspicion, after all, young ladies of noble families weren't easily seen by just anyone. Even if their bodies had been defiled, there were ways to remedy the situation. By using connections and paying a high price, they could invite some powerful figures from the current court to use secret techniques to restore their virginity, allowing them to still be married off as pure young ladies, giving these unfortunate women a chance at a better life! But the young men who married such women wouldn't know if they would have good luck in this life!

The reason was simple: whether these young ladies were chaste or not aside, Ye Lianhua's skills in that area were unmatched. If he said he was second in the world, no one would dare to claim first! So, although these abducted women hated him for forcibly taking their innocence, how could they forget the ecstasy he had given them?

Comparing people to people can be deadly, and comparing goods to goods can be wasteful! This is an eternal truth! Even if they deceived a husband, these pseudo-virgins who had tasted the sweet nectar of flying soul and drifting spirit would hardly be satisfied with their new husbands! It's easy to imagine that with such resentment in their hearts, life would have no joy.

At such times, many of the forcibly abducted girls thought of Ye Lianhua, but unfortunately, he was dead!

Even though he had a significant impact, time would eventually fade everything. Unconsciously, it had been a whole year since Ye Lianhua's death!

People no longer talked about this most outrageous lecher in the history of the Wisteria Empire, and his legendary novels were no longer popular, replaced by ghost stories! The chief minister and a certain general, who had been in a state of panic, finally breathed a sigh of relief! "People no longer commented on their precious ones, and their precious ones no longer cried and threatened to die, and the emperor no longer privately teased them about this matter!" They felt much lighter in their hearts.
