Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 682 Peerless Elegance (2)_1

With a thunderous crash, the entire space began to shake. Even the ground they were on launched an attack upwards with the force of thunder. This created an enormous hole in the earth, from which a force surged toward the surface.

A beam of sunlight shone down through the hole, its warm rays gently draping into the cavern. Overwhelmed by such immense power, Shangguan You was stunned for a few seconds, feeling a rush of blood stirring restlessly in her chest.

A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"Hahaha, Shangguan You, it seems I have to thank you," a haughty laugh echoed from above as a figure swiftly leaped down through the hole. It was none other than Young Master Ye and his group. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Young Master Ye," Shangguan You frowned, watching the group jump down from the hole, her frown deepening. The commotion had unexpectedly drawn Young Master Ye to them.

"TSK, TSK, TSK. Mother and daughter, you two look so alike. It’s such a pity that all of you will die here today." Young Master Ye laughed. His smile was as bright as an angel’s, seemingly lighting up people’s hearts, yet his words filled one with indignant rage.

"Shangguan You, Lin Mengjie, thank you for handing me such a great gift." Young Master Ye smiled, beaming as if basking in a spring breeze. He rose from his wheelchair and floated mid-air. With a wave of his hands, the monster Shangguan You had blasted to pieces now appeared in his grasp.

"Young Master Ye, no matter what, you’re still human. Could you not be so disgusting? Can you actually eat those things?" Thinking about the devouring and evolution, Shangguan You’s tone turned cold, even laced with countless threads of killing intent.

"Do you know why they let you kill them in the end? They did it for this moment. All their abilities are in here." Young Master Ye laughed, swallowing what he held in his hands under the protection of the Hidden World Village Family Heads and the Ye Family Elders. It was two still-beating hearts, the last things the monster had left behind.

"Second Brother, come here." Young Master Ye elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth as if he had just consumed a tonic. Immediately after he ingested it, Shangguan You could no longer sense the fluctuations of Young Master Ye’s Spiritual Energy. His body now seemed like a deep, bottomless well, vividly exhibiting his power.

Young Master Ye was human, but he was also a worm.

"Eldest Brother, stop it! How many more people do you have to harm before you’re satisfied?" Young Master Ye’s second brother stood firmly beside Shangguan You. He did not move forward, instead watching Young Master Ye with a cold gaze.

"Second Brother, come here." Young Master Ye’s voice turned icy. In the blink of an eye, he had seized his second brother, his hands tightening around the young man’s neck, squeezing continuously. Others might not have seen it clearly, but Shangguan You and Lin Mengjie saw it all too clearly: Young Master Ye had just floated past her.

"Where is the Young Master? Speak!" Young Master Ye loosened his grip slightly, coldly interrogating his brother.

"The Young Master is currently unconscious, but he will wake up sooner or later."

"Hahaha! Fortune really favors me! When the Young Master wakes up, he’ll see a brand new world!" Young Master Ye laughed heartily. Treating his second brother like a toy, he flung him aside and even elegantly dusted off his hands.

"My darlings, go forth! Give your kin a warm welcome!" Young Master Ye laughed, even more arrogantly. With a wave of his hands, the Ye Family Elders opened the boxes they carried, and a thick swarm of Gu-creatures crawled out.

A new round of slaughter began; the brutal scene of survival of the fittest unfolded before everyone’s eyes once more.

Shangguan You and Lin Mengjie exchanged a glance. Shangguan You’s brow furrowed ever more intensely. With a sweep of her hands, the very earth beneath them transformed rapidly, swiftly sending the people outside the ice layer away.

With that freak Young Master Ye here, who was even more abnormal than those monsters, she didn’t want her family to be in any danger. They had to leave.

"Do you think they can escape?" Young Master Ye laughed, thoroughly delighted, as he swaggered and watched Shangguan You send everyone else away, leaving only herself and Lin Mengjie.

"Young Master Ye, it’s still uncertain who will win. Don’t you think you’re a little too self-satisfied?"

"Eighteen years ago, I dealt with you. Eighteen years later, do you think you can escape? Today, we settle all our issues once and for all. Return to where you came from, or else don’t blame me for being impolite." Lin Mengjie’s pure eyes swept over Young Master Ye. Her voice was devoid of any warmth, yet her words carried an unprecedented seriousness.

"Hahaha! Lin Mengjie, do you think you’re still a match for me after sleeping for eighteen years? Elder Mi, go and engage this plane’s Guardian!" Young Master Ye roared. Elder Mi, along with the four Family Heads of Hidden World Village, lunged at Lin Mengjie.

Bai Tianche, Zhuge Feng, Li Chengqing, Fang Qingsheng, along with Elders from their respective families and several Ye Family Elders, tightly encircled Lin Mengjie and Shangguan You.

"Uncle Feng, do you remember me? Do you remember Mommy?" Shangguan You looked at Zhuge Feng beside her, her heart wrenching with pain. Is it because I failed to protect him? Is that why Zhuge Feng looks at us with such cold eyes now?

"Shangguan You, they only obey me now. Your appeals to kinship and love are useless against them. Save your breath! Now, go kill this mother and daughter and serve them to me with my wine!" Young Master Ye laughed triumphantly. There was still plenty of time, so he could enjoy the show. The cramped space once again erupted into violent conflict as humans and Gu-creatures launched another intense attack. This time, it was a struggle pitting Shangguan You and her mother against the five families of the Hidden World Village. These five great families were considered god-like existences in the secular world, while Lin Mengjie was a deity even among such gods.

Lin Mengjie’s Five-Colored Spiritual Energy surged around her, protecting Shangguan You at her side as she easily deflected the surrounding attacks.
