Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Dyeing the Blue Sky with Blood

"Murong Xiangming?"

"It’s Murong Xiangming."

The person who had appeared at the Alchemy Master Guild and started killing was, shockingly, Murong Xiangming.

Everyone in the entire Alchemy Master Guild was stunned beyond belief.

They found it impossible to believe that the woman who was about to become their President’s daughter-in-law had suddenly appeared on their doorstep to kill.

They were so bewildered they didn’t know what to think.

Many of them couldn’t grasp what was happening.

Finally, an elderly man, one of the most senior Elders, stepped forward and asked, "Miss Murong, your wedding to our President’s son, Qin Lie, is in just three days."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Killing the people of our Alchemy Master Guild."

It wasn’t just him; everyone found it strange.

The wedding was only three days away, and everything had been going smoothly. But now, disaster had struck.

Murong Xiangming was still clad in fluttering red, her figure like a blood-red butterfly.

She raised the sword in her hand.

Her expression was cold and indifferent.

"Tell Qin Lie to come out and die."

Her voice landed in their minds like ice a millennium old.

The crowd was horrified.

The terrifying aura emanating from Murong Xiangming surged skyward like a blazing sun.

Her Martial King Cultivation was on full display for all to see.

"GULP..."

"Martial King Cultivation! Heavens, Murong Xiangming is actually an expert with Martial King Cultivation!"

Someone gasped, seeing that beneath Murong Xiangming’s beautiful exterior lay such terrifying, peerless talent.

So young, yet her Cultivation was actually at the Martial King level.

This was a height that many people could never reach in their entire lives.

Beyond shock, there was only terror.

The Murong Xiangming of today seemed to harbor a deep-seated hatred for Qin Lie, the sword in her hand flashing with a bloody light.

Someone hurriedly said, "Miss Murong, could there be some misunderstanding with our Young Master Qin Lie?"

"No misunderstanding is so great that it requires drawing swords. Please, calm down. We can talk this over."

They tried to dissuade Murong Xiangming.

At the same time, they sent someone to quickly notify Qin Lie and Master Qin.

This matter was extremely bizarre; many of them had no idea what had transpired.

"Enough. I don’t want to harm any more innocents. Tell Qin Lie to come out and die."

"He knows best the grievances between us."

For a proud woman like Murong Xiangming, being drugged was a monumental humiliation.

When Qin Lie heard the report, he was astonished.

"What’s going on?"

"How did she fight her way in?"

Qin Lie found the situation exceedingly strange, baffling him completely.

’I’m certain she was poisoned with Heart-Tugging Powder.’

’But how did she lose control? I feel like I can still control her soul right now.’

Now that Murong Xiangming had fought her way in, he felt it must be a misunderstanding.

Murong Xiangming must have been provoked. After all, the Heart-Tugging Powder couldn’t be neutralized naturally for half a year, and she had only been poisoned a few days ago.

It was impossible for her to have regained her senses on her own.

Besides, here in Hanwu City, no one but him had the antidote.

So he was completely bewildered.

But he didn’t hesitate and hurried out. He had to see what was going on.

When Qin Lie appeared at the entrance of the Alchemy Master Guild’s main hall, the area was already surrounded by countless Guild guards, along with many Alchemists.

"Qin Lie is here."

"Eldest Young Master Qin is here! Make way!"

Soon, Qin Lie’s arrival caused a commotion. Everyone automatically cleared a path for him, and he strode forward to the front of the crowd.

He looked up and saw Murong Xiangming. Dressed in red, she was as stunning as a flower, as beautiful as a blood plum blossom blooming on a snow-swept peak.

Qin Lie’s heart pounded. He wished he could pull that fiery body into his arms right that moment.

"Young Master, what on earth is going on?"

"Hurry and explain things to Miss Murong. She’s in a towering rage. Perhaps you’re the only one who can placate her."

Several high-ranking Elders from the Alchemy Master Guild immediately tried to persuade Qin Lie.

This matter seemed to be a misunderstanding between the two of them.

So, when they saw Qin Lie appear, they felt it could be resolved peacefully.

Of course, they had underestimated Murong Xiangming’s fury.

Qin Lie looked at Murong Xiangming, his gaze fervent, but he quickly and cautiously said, "Miss Murong, what’s wrong?"

"Didn’t we agree to hold the wedding in three days? Please, calm down."

"If I’ve done something wrong, we can talk about it after we’re married. I promise I’ll change whatever it is."

He still believed his Heart-Tugging Powder would work and tried to pacify Murong Xiangming. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

It would have been better if he hadn’t said that. The moment he did, a cold glint erupted in Murong Xiangming’s eyes.

She snapped, "Qin Lie, get married? Do you really think that’s possible?"

"Have you no idea what you’ve done?"

"Using such despicable means to make me marry you... you’re delusional."

"Today, I’ll show you. You dared to use underhanded tricks on me? You’re dead."

"And no one in your Alchemy Master Guild can stop me."

What?

Qin Lie was stunned.

’It seems Murong Xiangming is already cured of the poison.’

’The Murong Xiangming right now is completely clear-headed.’

He was horrified, finding it hard to believe that Murong Xiangming had cured the poison herself.

But he still clung to a sliver of hope.

"Miss Murong, we are about to be married. Didn’t you agree to it?"

"It’s in three days. Three days! Stop making a scene. Go home and wait obediently for me to marry you."

However, his words completely enraged Murong Xiangming, who was already on the verge of explosive fury.

"You spineless scum, go to hell!"

Murong Xiangming rose up, sword in hand.

Her entire body flew into the air, stepping on nothingness as she strode across the void.

She looked even more like a blood-red butterfly dancing through the air.

In her hand, her Blood Sword was held proudly.

In an instant, she descended at an incredible speed.

With a single thrust, her sword shot straight for Qin Lie.

An invisible killing intent descended with a roar, assaulting his very mind.

Qin Lie was terrified.

’This is bad! This woman really wants to kill me.’

But he also roared angrily, "Murong Xiangming, everything I did, I did for you!"

"For you, I would even give my life! Everything I’ve done has been for you!"

"My feelings for you are genuine!"

He couldn’t accept it. The prize that had been within his grasp had just slipped away.

He was just three days away from marrying Murong Xiangming, but at this critical moment, she had unexpectedly woken up.

He wanted to explain.

"Lecher! Your mouth is full of nonsense."

"Trying to find excuses for your sordid deeds? You’re dreaming. Only your death can extinguish the hatred in my heart."

"I, Murong Xiangming, swear today that I will dye the sky red with blood!"

Murong Xiangming paid no mind to Qin Lie’s words. They were all lies. The more he spoke, the more she detested him, eager to kill him and be done with it.

Her purity was not something this man could defile.

Qin Lie

sensed a terrifying crisis descending upon him.

He cried out in his heart and hurriedly shouted to the crowd, "Quick, save me!"

An expert with Martial King Cultivation was too fast.

So fast that no one could react in time.

If Qin Lie hadn’t shown up, it might have been fine. But now that he had, Murong Xiangming would absolutely not let him go.

Killing intent enveloped the Alchemy Master Guild.

"Quick, save Young Master Qin Lie!"

"Stop her! Stop that madwoman!"

The crowd panicked. At this point, there was no time for them to think.

Murong Xiangming genuinely wanted to kill Qin Lie. This was definitely not a misunderstanding; this was a real murder attempt.

Seeing this, how could the people of the Alchemy Master Guild let Murong Xiangming succeed?

The guards rushed forward in an uproar, trying to stop Murong Xiangming and buy time for Qin Lie to escape.

Shielded by the crowd, Qin Lie also began to flee frantically.

"Damn it, this woman is too ruthless! She won’t even give me a chance to explain."
