"Ying Zi, I didn't, how could I give the Qiong Gouyu to that bastard! I..."

Qingyuan Caicaizi urgently argued, but her expression suddenly changed, exclaiming: "Is it that sachet?! The one you gave me when you fled?"

Qingyuan Ying Zi nodded, "Yes, that sachet. The eight-foot Qiong Gouyu has always been sewn inside it, using the sachet's effect of calming the spirit and nurturing the soul to conceal the faint aura emitted by the Qiong Gouyu that can cleanse the soul."

"I..."

Qingyuan Caicaizi's face changed, and a look of despair suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Snap!

A crisp sound rang out as Qingyuan Caicaizi harshly slapped herself, tears of extreme remorse flowing: "Damn it! I really deserve to die! I have not only harmed my family, but I also handed over our family's treasured artifact to our enemy! I... I really deserve to die!"

Whoosh!

A gale surfaced, and Qingyuan Caicaizi circulated her Inner Qi, raising her hand towards her forehead.

"Stop!"

Jiang Chen's eyes changed as he exclaimed and reached out to grab Qingyuan Caicaizi's arm.

However, as a mid-Venerable Realm powerhouse, Qingyuan Caicaizi's full force was unstoppable and the Cultivation Technique Jiang Chen hastily utilized could not counter the strength in Qingyuan Caicaizi's hand.

Whirr!

An extremely strong and elusive aura suddenly appeared, and Li Tianchong's whole body's aura exploded, his figure flashed next to Qingyuan Caicaizi, and he slapped her hand.

In urgent situation, Li Tianchong couldn't hold back Qingyuan Caicaizi. Had he tried to pull her arm, the two forces would have collided in her arm and could have burst it open, so he could only swat her hand aside, causing the slap to miss the forehead and instead land on the left shoulder.

Bang!

Crack!

A muffled sound and the sound of bone cracking rose, Qingyuan Caicaizi's left arm instantly drooped, the bones fractured and tendons torn!

Jiang Chen hurriedly reached out to check her injuries, fortunately, Li Tianchong's palm had dispersed most of the force from her hand, and her body was exceptionally resilient having undergone the Auspicious Cloud Baptism when breaking through to the Venerable Realm, only the left shoulder bone was broken and would be fine once set!

"Miss Caicaizi, please don't be impulsive!"

Jiang Chen held Qingyuan Caicaizi's right hand to prevent her from hurting herself again: "I understood what you said earlier, you have inadvertently made two major mistakes, don't you want to personally rectify these mistakes and seek revenge for your family?"

"Can I... can I really do it?"

Qingyuan Caicaizi suddenly looked up at Jiang Chen, and then quickly shook her head: "No! It's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"How will you know it's impossible if you don't try?" Jiang Chen gently advised.

"It's impossible! I've tried!"

Qingyuan Caicaizi wept profusely, her eyes once again showing a look of despair: "I have tried before, after the destruction of our clan, I once tried to kill him while he was asleep."

"However, Jin Nan Sanben was bestowed with Soul Consciousness protection by the Eight-Headed Serpent, that Soul Consciousness has the strength of a peak Venerable Realm, I am no match for it, none of us are."

"Moreover, Jin Nan Sanben has always stayed in Dujing, the lair of the Eight-Headed Serpent is also in Dujing, and the headquarters of the Divine Palace is there too. Once we confront Jin Nan Sanben, not only will the people from the Divine Palace arrive in time, but even the Eight-Headed Serpent might come, we have no chance!"

Jiang Chen's expression changed, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he lowered his head in deep thought.

Thump!

Qingyuan Caicaizi knelt on the ground, bursting into tears:

"I'm sorry! Ying Zi, I'm sorry! Big brother, sister-in-law, I'm sorry! Father, grandfather, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I have brought calamity upon our clan, and I even handed our clan's treasure to our enemy. I have failed you all! I have failed our family! I am unworthy of our ancestors!"

Ying Zi looked at Qingyuan Caicaizi with a complex expression, wanting to step forward and comfort her aunt, but the tragic state of the family and the errors Qingyuan Caicaizi had made were unforgivable!

Shen Xiangtian and others all furrowed their brows, finding the current situation tricky!

"Does Sanben Jinnan always carry that sachet with him?" Jiang Chen suddenly turned his head towards Qingyuan Caicaizi.

The eyes of Shen Xiangtian and others lit up; Jiang Chen's question surely indicated that he already had a plan in mind.

"Yes."

Qingyuan Caicaizi said in a lifeless voice, "That sachet has a much better calming effect than ordinary ones; he always carries it with him. I... I never expected that the sachet would contain... sob sob..."

"Calm down; I'm going to ask you a few questions, Qingyuan Caicaizi. Whether you can atone for your sins, whether you can take revenge, it all depends on you now!" Jiang Chen spoke solemnly.

Qingyuan Caicaizi suddenly jerked, immediately stood up from the ground, and grabbed Jiang Chen's arm, urgently saying: "You, you can help me atone? You have a way to help me take revenge?! Really? Is it true?"

"It's true! But I need you to calm down!" Jiang Chen spoke solemnly.

"Okay! Okay! I'm calm! I'm calm!"

Qingyuan Caicaizi wiped her tears, nodded vigorously, and stared intensely into Jiang Chen's eyes, revealing a strong sense of hope.

Jiang Chen stared straight into Qingyuan Caicaizi's eyes, a hint of hesitation flickering in his gaze.

"Speak! Please speak quickly!" implored Qingyuan Caicaizi urgently.

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "I'm wondering whether I should trust you or not! Once we initiate this plan, my brothers and I will traverse an extremely perilous path. A single misstep could bury us all in Beihai National! And in this plan, you are the most crucial element; any slight error on your part, and we could all be doomed with no survival!"

"I...."

Qingyuan Caicaizi's eyes changed solemnly, her brow furrowed deeply as she lowered her head in deep thought.

Jiang Chen's heart sank, his gaze fixed on Qingyuan Caicaizi, and he waved at Shen Xiangtian and the others.

Understanding his gesture, Shen Xiangtian and the others subtly shifted their positions, forming a loose circle around Qingyuan Caicaizi.

Ying Zi's expression changed, looking at Qingyuan Caicaizi with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, truly hoping that Qingyuan Caicaizi could gain Jiang Chen's trust.

At this moment, she herself was in disarray, unable to make the correct judgment, but she believed in Jiang Chen, believed that he could always make the right decisions no matter the circumstances!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Qingyuan Caicaizi raised her hand to grasp her own arm, her gaze turning cold, and she yanked harshly!

Plop!

A tearing sound rang out as Qingyuan Caicaizi tore off her left arm.

"This..."

"Caicaizi!"

"Aunt..."

Jiang Chen and others' expressions changed drastically upon seeing this.

Ying Zi almost cried out 'Aunt' but swallowed it back, her eyes showing a hint of worry.

They had never imagined that Qingyuan Caicaizi, a woman, could be so ruthlessly decisive!
