Hearing this, Su Ruoyun felt as if she was in an ice cellar, her whole body was icy cold. She staggered back a few steps, unable to accept such news as a fact.
"No, this is impossible, impossible..."
The middle-aged man took a breath, rubbed his painful shoulder, and said unhappily, "What's impossible? I went to check this morning, the whole mountain was burned, not a single person was left alive."
"Yes, the news spread this morning, and many families in the city sent people to take a look, but it seems that no one has yet said what force destroyed it."
"Impossible! I don't believe it!"
Su Ruoyun shouted loudly, glanced at those people with a cold gaze, and immediately ran away.
She wanted to go and see! She wanted to go and see! She would never believe that all her years of hard work would be wasted like this!
"Is that woman crazy? The people in the Poison Sect are not good people. It would be better if they were dead. Why is she so excited?"
"Don't worry about her, she's just a crazy woman, she pinched my shoulder so hard that it hurts so much."
The middle-aged man rubbed his shoulder and said, "But it's incredible that a force could be wiped out overnight. Do you think that this was done by that ghost doctor?" When he said the second half of the sentence, his voice was obviously lowered with some caution.
"Why do you say that? How could that ghost doctor destroy the Poison Sect for no reason?"
"Aren't doctors and poisoners mortal enemies? What's so strange about destroying the Poison Sect? Besides, if it wasn't the Ghost Doctor who did it, who would dare to do it? Only the Ghost Doctor has the ability to destroy an entire family and a power overnight, right?"
Hearing this, the other people lowered their voices a bit: "You mean the ghost doctor was responsible for the extermination of the Xu family, and the ghost doctor was also responsible for the extermination of the Du family? I tell you, it's best not to talk nonsense about this. Be careful of what you say. After all, no one saw it, right?"
After hearing the words "Misfortune comes from the mouth", several people looked at each other and did not mention this topic anymore. Instead, they drank a few cups of tea and went home.
When Su Ruoyun arrived at the hilltop that had been burned to ashes, the onlookers had already dispersed. She looked at the bare hilltop with red eyes. She was so angry that she spat out blood and fell to the ground.
"How is it possible... How is it possible..."
She murmured, as if she had lost her soul. This was the place where she had invested all her efforts, the place where she had intended to expand her influence, but now, it had been destroyed overnight...
The surging blood and energy made her heart ache. She sat on the ground for a long time before she stood up. Her dazed eyes were filled with a sinister and vicious light again, and her hands were clenched into fists.
"I will never let you go! Never!"
Gritting her teeth, she resolutely turned around and left. The Poison Sect was gone, so she would take over the Phoenix Guard! The strength of the Phoenix Guard was the backbone of the Phoenix Mansion, and it was a force that even the Lord of the Yaori Nation feared!
As long as she takes over the Phoenix Guard and becomes the Phoenix Lord, let alone the brother and sister, even wiping out a middle-class family would be a matter of just one order!
Originally, they were thinking of waiting for a while. After all, even Feng Qingge in the past had rarely come into contact with the Phoenix Guards. The ones they had come into contact with were only one or two Phoenix Guards who were assigned to protect them. As for the others, they had never even seen them.
