Chapter 3072

This was also why Yun Meng looked down on Yun Qichu. The Yun family did not strictly distinguish between genders; having two daughters was already considered good, especially with other collateral branches existing.

In the family, any descendant from a collateral branch ranked higher than a child born out of wedlock. Yet, Yun Qichu had four or five such children, claiming he wanted to leave behind more descendants. In truth, only he knew his real intentions.

Hearing Yun Meng’s words, Yun Qichu’s face changed slightly. "How can you not know right from wrong, child?"

Yun Meng finished her breakfast calmly, then stood up. "Regardless of your intentions, or how you slander me for being ungrateful, I will not follow your wishes to go on blind dates. I believe I have made myself clear."

Yun Qichu’s expression turned very ugly. "If you do not agree, you must cut off contact with the Yun family?"

Yun Meng nodded slightly. "I never intended to associate with the Yun family. The Yun family belongs to my sister, not to me. At most, I will only keep in touch with her. That is not something you can control. As for you, if everyone in the Yun family is like you, I truly have no intention of associating with you."

"You… you…" Yun Qichu could not believe Yun Meng spoke so ruthlessly.

Yun Meng placed her finished bowl in the kitchen, picked up her luggage, and left.

She had come originally to attend Yun Ling’s engagement banquet. Now that so many things had happened, the engagement had failed.

Of course, knowing Yun Qichu, Yun Meng knew he would not give up on the alliance. So, once Yun Ling recovered, there would still be an engagement ceremony.

However, if the groom was still Chu Jiaxiang, it would still fail.

Yun Meng had already said what needed to be said. She had no intention of interfering further.

Yun Meng carried her luggage back to the parking lot, placed it in the car, and was about to drive away when she suddenly felt a shift in her heart. She looked outside and saw that a fog had risen without warning.

Yun Meng frowned slightly, raised her hand, and made a subtle gesture. Her expression grew heavy.

This was the aura of a Vengeful Soul. The Vengeful Soul had come here because it was attracted by the aura of the Millennium Evil Soul. However, since Yun Meng had injured the Millennium Evil Soul, she carried its aura on herself.

Yun Meng had some methods to fight the Evil Soul, but she was not confident against a Vengeful Soul. Yet, if she ignored it, the Vengeful Soul would clearly bring disaster to the family.

Although she disdained the Yun family, there were people she cared about, such as Yun Ling and the butler grandfather.

After thinking it over, Yun Meng started the car as usual and drove out.

While driving, she occasionally remembered Yan Xizhong’s words from two days ago: if you encounter danger, head west.

She decided to take a risk and head west.

But first, she had to ensure she could safely cross the natural barrier.

Yun Meng knew the Vengeful Soul had only sensed the Evil Soul’s aura and did not yet know it had been destroyed. So, she had time to leave.

Without hesitation, Yun Meng drove away directly.

Yun Meng drove fast. As she left, the fog around the Yun family slowly receded.

"This fog is strange," Yun Lao said, standing by the window and looking out.

The butler had also seen the fog. "There is soul energy in the fog. It seems to be a Vengeful Soul."

"Where is Yun Meng?" Yun Lao seemed to realize something and asked.

"The Second Miss has already left," the butler replied.

Yun Lao closed her eyes and sighed. "Yun Meng is indeed Yun Meng. With this, everyone in the Yun family owes her a karmic debt."

"What happened?" the butler asked curiously.

"If I am not mistaken, this Vengeful Soul came for the Millennium Evil Soul. That Evil Soul was one step away from becoming a Vengeful Soul. If it had been swallowed by the Vengeful Soul, its cultivation would have increased significantly. But Yun Meng destroyed the Millennium Evil Soul yesterday."

Yun Lao sighed. "Since Yun Meng destroyed the Evil Soul, she naturally carried its aura. By leaving directly, she clearly discovered the Vengeful Soul and lured it away."

The butler was shocked. "Grandfather, should we go look for the Second Miss?"

Yun Lao shook her head slightly. "Tomorrow, call Yun Meng to confirm she is safe. If there is no news, it means Yun Meng has fallen. Then the Yun family’s karmic debt will be heavy, and we can only wait for her next life to repay it."

It was not that Yun Lao would not act. From Yun Meng’s actions yesterday, Yun Lao had already seen that her cultivation likely far exceeded theirs. Even if they went now, they would not be as capable as Yun Meng. Instead of helping, they might become a burden.

The butler was worried. Having watched Yun Meng grow up, she loved her like her own granddaughter. she only hoped she would not be in danger.

Yun Meng focused entirely on passing the twenty-minute natural barrier.

She could feel the Vengeful Soul’s pursuit getting closer. The wind in the barrier sounded like the Netherworld singing, making one’s heart tremble with fear.

Yun Meng did not panic. She calmed her mind and kept driving.

The only relief was that there were no other cars on this road except hers, so she did not need to worry about affecting others.

Yun Meng kept moving forward. Every minute, she did not worry about being caught by the Vengeful Soul, but rather how much time was left to leave the barrier.

Yun Meng was lucky. After she passed the barrier, the Vengeful Soul’s aura became even stronger.

Yun Meng drove west, remembering Yan Xizhong’s words. The west was open, with nothing but a barren grassland.

The wind of the Vengeful Soul’s pursuit grew louder, seeming ready to turn into a tornado.

The car began to shake. The uneven ground seemed to show the car’s fear.

The wind behind was about to catch up.

Yun Meng made a quick decision and jumped out of the car. She could not let the wind sweep her away.

Fortunately, there was grass everywhere, so jumping out would not be life-threatening.

As soon as Yun Meng jumped out, she saw her car being lifted up.

It really was a tornado. This Vengeful Soul was indeed powerful.

Yun Meng thought for a moment and ignored the car. She just needed to walk west.

The Vengeful Soul seemed to realize it had been tricked. It turned around and continued chasing Yun Meng, looking like it was about to catch her.

Yun Meng stopped, turned around, and quickly formed hand seals. "Lin Bing Dou Zhe Jie Zhen Lie Zai Qian."

"Exorcise Evil," Yun Meng said. A light dragon shot out, directly confronting the Vengeful Soul.

The Vengeful Soul paused. The wind slowly stopped, condensing into a shadow over ten meters tall. It looked at Yun Meng. "A mere mortal dares to oppose this seat? You seek death."

"You have been chasing me relentlessly. If I do not oppose you, who will?" Since she was destined not to escape, Yun Meng retorted directly, not caring that the opponent was a Vengeful Soul.
