"You’re a woman who fled right after the battle began. You have no right to speak here! A deserter like you would have been dead hundreds of times in the Lord Mansion, only an idiot like Feng Jingtian would tolerate you!"

Mu Ruyue said nothing, only smiled faintly.

But after Feng Jingtian heard these words, the murderous aura around him became even more intense. His grim eyes coldly stared at Lan Yi’s youthful face as if a sharp sword was slicing across it...

Lan Yi’s face turned pale in an instant, tightly clutching Lan Yue’s sleeve. Those clear eyes were stubborn, but above all, they held a pride that refused to bow down...

"Feng Jingtian!"

Mu Ruyue raised her hand to hold Feng Jingtian back, shook her head, and said, "Anyway, the City Lord Mansion is almost fated to be without descendants. Why do you need to intervene?"

Without descendants?

These words landed heavily on the Lord’s heart. His anger flared up from within, and he coldly stared at Mu Ruyue: "What did you just say? You actually curse our Lord Mansion to be without descendants?"

Mu Ruyue couldn’t help but laugh: "It’s not that I’m cursing you; rather, you’re indeed about to be without descendants. The Red Flame Fruit can cure many difficult ailments, but it leaves the aftereffect of being unable to have descendants..."

Lan Yue’s heart trembled, her beautiful face turning ashen with anger as she said, "What nonsense are you spouting? You’re clearly cursing the Lord Mansion to be without descendants! Lan Yi is perfectly fine; how could she be infertile?"

After saying this, Mu Ruyue cast a glance at her...

For some reason, upon meeting that gaze, Lan Yue’s heart gave a jolt as if all her secrets had been uncovered...

How did she forget that this woman wasn’t an ordinary Alchemy Master? With her power, she could easily detect the presence of the Red Flame Fruit...

"Girl, stop trying to sow discord here!"

The Lord’s eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "Lan Yue cured my son’s illness; this is a fact known to everyone. Do you think I’d listen to your scheming over trusting her? The one I won’t believe is you! Now, I’ll kill you, this arrogant girl!"

Swoosh!

The aura around the Lord surged forth, transforming into a massive sword in mid-air that came slashing down, causing ripples in the air...

Under this pressure, those around couldn’t help but feel breathless, even sensing the approach of death...

However, Mu Ruyue remained unfazed, her gaze calmly fixed on the Lord opposite her.

"Hmph!"

The Lord moved, arriving in front of Mu Ruyue, his palm wrapped in a layer of ghostly green light, striking fiercely at Mu Ruyue’s chest...

Bang!

Mu Ruyue quickly retreated as the hand struck a large tree nearby. In an instant, the ancient tree turned to ash before everyone’s eyes...

"Watch out!"

Feng Jingtian hurriedly turned his head, and suddenly, he witnessed a perilous scene...

The Lord, unknowingly behind Mu Ruyue, bore a cold and stern face harboring a faint killing intent. Then, with a sharp sword in his hand, he slashed it toward her neck...

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

After all, the Lord is an Advanced Supreme. How could she possibly evade such a close-range strike?
