Chapter 202: Perishing Together

“What, are you afraid now?” Jin Qiao’er stared at Jin Xin’er like a cat looking down a mouse. “Why weren’t you afraid when you cast your Nightmare Art on me? If not for me receiving news earlier and guarding against you, you guys would’ve killed me without leaving a single piece behind right?”

“I was only trying to aid father in obtaining the ancestral hall item, I had no intentions of harming you,” the snow complexioned Jin Xin’er replied with a trembling voice. “As for why we had to resort to this, was because your granny treated us as if you were the only member of our Jin Clan.”

Jin Qiao’er sneered and replied, “What’s the use of quibbling now? I have no time to bullshit with you. Seems like you’re still unaware of Jin Shenxuan’s death. Now that I’ve told you, give it up eh?”

Jin Xin’er trembled and pleaded, “Jin Qiao’er, on account of our sisterly ties and former days, can’t you leave me a way out? In the past, I never held a single grievance even though you constantly snipped my clothes, causing me to be humiliated in front of everyone.”

“Who asked you to consider yourself as an immortal beauty, always prancing around with multitudes of clothings before me!” Jin Qiao’er fumed. “You were merely afraid of my granny discipling you.”

“Do I really cause you to feel such bone-deep hatred? Apart from the Nightmare Art incident, I haven’t committed any other atrocities towards you,” Jin Xin’er pleaded.

“Fine, don’t say that I’m heartless and forsaking all sisterly ties,” Jin Qiao’er continued. “As long as you produce all artifacts on hand and obediently kotow three times to acknowledge your fault, I will spare your life after trapping in my Gold Gate Stonehenge Formation.”

Jin Xin’er hesitated slightly and ultimately gritted her teeth. She then produced a single Treasure Receiving Pocket and a white jade bracelet artifact on her wrist, before tossing them all to Jin Qiao’er.

After receiving them, Jin Qiao’er tossed them to Wei Suo without even glancing at them. She then eyed Jin Xin’er coldly.

“I was wrong, I shouldn’t have forsaken sisterly ties and cast my Nightmare Art on you. Please accept my apology.” Following that, Jin Xin’er sincerely knelt and kowtowed three times to Jin Xin’er.

“Good, I will spare your life.”

Jin Qiao’er’s eyes beamed with cruelty and satisfaction. She retracted her tiny black dagger and fished out a dozen yellow formation flags, before sending them out. The flags landed around Jin Xin’er to activate the Gold Gate Stonehenge Formation and trap her.

Seeing Jin Qiao’er’s actions, Jin Xin’er relaxed a little.

Instead, to Wei Suo and her horror, Jin Qiao’er unexpectedly channeled her true energy, not into those formation flags, but to cast a skill. An earthen yellow beam shot out and pierced into Jin Xin’er’s chest.

Sou! Jin Xin’er’s eyes was still flashing with disbelief as her body slumped lifelessly to the ground.

Wei Suo’s expression fell drastically. A large bloody hole was drilled through Jin Xin’er’s right silky chest. She was utterly lifeless.

This female had left a manifold pleasant impression on him as compared to Jin Qiao’er. Similar to Jin Qiao’er, Wei Suo truly intended to set this female free. Alas, Jin Qiao’er abruptly shattered all pretense which caused Wei Suo to exclaim furiously.

“Jin Qiao’er, you agreed to release her but you actually reneged on your words and killed her!”

“Why, you’re reluctant to see her die due to her good looks?” Jin Qiao’er scoffed. “Deceiving one’s enemy is an exceptionally normal conduct. You’ve probably done the same before aye?”

“Yes, I’ve done such a thing but not to my brothers or sisters!” Wei Suo glared at Jin Qiao’er with a supremely infuriated look. “Are you still human, to be so ruthless to your own sister?”

“Human? You say I don’t understand human conscience? Do you really think this little slut is so great?!” Jin Qiao’er yelled at Wei Suo. “Do you know what kind of technique her Nightmare Art is? When one falls asleep, one will subconsciously reveal everything they know to the caster! If I hadn’t heard about her comprehending the Nightmare Art, I would’ve already spilled all my secrets to her. In order to guard against her technique, I haven’t slept for three whole months! You should know, even to us cultivators, not sleeping for three months will be immensely harmful to one’s body and divine sense. An ordinary person can’t even withstand that! Do you know how painful it was for me to guard against this slut’s Nightmare Art every night?! Indeed, that slut really ran here to cast her Nightmare Art. Fortunately, I feigned asleep and pretended to answer. Otherwise, they would’ve found out the method to enter the ancestral hall and about the other jade talisman in my stomach. Do you think I would still be alive?!”

“And do you know why granny was so harsh on these people, and why their face fell upon seeing the Blood Feasting Artifact Dagger in my hands?” Jin Qiao’er continued her rage. “Because the Blood Feasting Artifact Dagger is a treasure obtained by my parents from the loose cultivator’s cavern abode. My parents were then ambushed outside and hid this treasure when they knew they could not escape. Later on, my granny found the dagger and secretly passed it to me as my protection weapon. Furthermore, my parent’s operation was an extremely covert affair. Only the members of Jin Villa knew about it, therefore, the culprits can only be that old dog and his little puppies. They believed this artifact was lost and when it reappeared in my hands, they naturally adopted such an expression!”

After hearing all these, Wei Suo still felt rather displeased. Still, he remained quiet and merely grunted softly.

“I will strip this slut clean and toss her down. She will cause an uproar, causing them to charge into the ancestral building and search for us. When that happens, we would already be long gone. Once we are in the treasury, our safety is pretty much guaranteed.” Jin Qiao’er instructed as she strolled towards Jin Xin’er’s corpse.

“Hold on,” Wei Suo coldly replied. “The countless grievances in Jin Villa, I will not say much about you killing her. But she is still your sister and I still feel something is amiss. I cannot agree to you ravaging her body like this.”

“You! After all your words, in the end you’re just smitten by this little slut!” Jin Qiao’er swung around fiercely. Her expression was malicious but she still felt a restraining fear towards Wei Suo and didn’t dare to approach Jin Xin’er.

Right in this instant, a tiny cry changed Wei Suo’s countenance dramatically. The originally lifeless Jin Xin’er suddenly opened her eyes and offered a bitter smirk, before releasing a black ray towards Jin Qiao’er.

The black ray shot in with frightening pace that even Wei Suo couldn’t block in time. Before Jin Qiao’er could turn around, that black ray pierced into her back and exited from the front of her chest; leaving behind a fountain of blood.

“Jin Xin’er you slut!”

Jin Qiao’er cried out bitterly as her eyes popped out in disbelief. She finally turned around and exclaimed.

Instead, Jin Xin’er laughed venomously. “Ugly freak, Jin Qiao’er. I’ve endured you since young. Not only did you choose not to spare me, but you still wanted to desecrate my corpse. Since that’s the case, I choose to perish with you! You reap what you sow!”

“You……” Jin Qiao’er reached out her finger but collapsed to the ground powerlessly. The life drained from her as her eyes remained wide open with an unyielding grievance.

Seeing that Jin Qiao’er died before her, Jin Xin’er’s eyes flashed with a contented look. Eventually, the glint in her eyes faded away and she ceased from breathing.

“This……”

This was certainly an unexpected twist. He rushed to Jin Qiao’er and probed for her neck pulse. Never would he have expected this woman to just perish like that. Not even a Heaven Grade pellet medicine can save her now.

He then cautiously crept towards Jin Xin’er. The complexion of this woman, who slightly took his breath away since the start, was utterly white. This sweet jade was truly destroyed.

Wei Suo smiled wryly as he observed the two female corpses.

If Jin Qiao’er had spared Jin Xin’er, this outcome wouldn’t have happened. Alas, her character was too sinister and ruthless; even if she didn’t die today, she wouldn’t have a good outcome in the future.

“Granny Jin, I earnestly handed the Scarletwing Flame Devil’s demonic dan-pellet to your granddaughter and accomplished my promise. Now that your granddaughter has eaten her own bitter fruit, it shouldn’t concern me right?”

The true reason for his wry smile was actually his death oath with Granny Jin.

“Since the Scarletwing FLame Devil’s demonic dan-pellet is still on Jin Qiao’er, should I retrieve it?”

“Does it count as violating my oath if I do?”

“Since the person is dead, retrieving it back shouldn’t be counted as violating my oath right.” Wei Suo didn’t remain stumped for long. After a wry smile, he bluntly searched through all of Jin Qiao’er’s possessions.

There were a few pellet bottles on her, a Scarletwing Flame Devil’s demonic dan-pellet, those dozen earthen yellow formation flags, and the black Blood Feasting Artifact Dagger.

After rummaging through her body, Wei Suo retrieved the artifact responsible for Jin Qiao’er’s death. It was actually a tiny black crow shuttle.

Afterwards, Wei Suo searched through Jin Xin’er’s body but didn’t find a single artifact on her.

“You were a family which ought to be living comfortably, everyone cultivating in happiness. Such mutual conspiracies is truly a pity. Jin Xin’er, you really are a beauty that can move my heart, perhaps I wouldn’t refuse if you look me up for a dual-cultivation session ah. And you Jin Qiao’er, you had the Scarletwing Flame Devil’s demonic dan-pellet to cure your terminal illness. Though you are slightly ugly, there any numerous spirit medicines that can alter one’s features ah. There are many ways of becoming prettier, and you can still marry.”

After giving his eulogy, Wei Suo shook his head gloomily. Then, he hastily rushed down the building.
