Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback

Chapter 994: Evil Arts

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Hongxuan was utterly perplexed by his father’s behavior. Previously, his father had always shown great concern for Ye Wanwan. Her cultivation progress had even been assisted by his father. However, faced with Ye Wanwan’s current plight, his father remained passive. There was no hint of pity in his expression.

Onstage, Ye Leng’an squatted down, wearing a bright smile as she said to Ye Wanwan in a rather cheerful tone, “Looks like you’re in no shape to move. Since you lost, it’s time to accept it gracefully.”

With these words, Ye Leng’an raised her hand, gathering spiritual power and aiming directly at Ye Wanwan’s dantian.

Ye Wanwan’s eyes widened in fear as she desperately tried to retreat. But the searing pain coursing through her body rendered her immobile. She could only watch helplessly as Ye Leng’an’s spiritual power struck her dantian.

An excruciating wave of pain surged from her dantian. Ye Wanwan felt her golden core shatter, her entire cultivation dissipating in an instant. Unable to endure, she lost consciousness.

Onlookers witnessed this scene and found it rather harsh. However, since Ye Wanwan had agreed to this before the match, they couldn’t object. In every Elite Competition, there was always a price for the final challenge, which was why someone would accept it willingly. Now that Ye Wanwan had consented, losing and having her cultivation destroyed left no room for protest. Though it seemed cruel, in harsher terms, it was self-inflicted.

The Murong family observed the stage with uncertain and regretful eyes. They lamented arranging the marriage too soon. Such a crucial decision should have been made after the Elite Competition. Now, they couldn’t revoke the arrangement just because Ye Wanwan lost. But with her cultivation completely ruined, was she truly fit to be the future matriarch of the Murong family?

After destroying Ye Wanwan’s cultivation, Ye Leng’an flew off the stage, leaving Ye Wanwan alone, looking utterly desolate.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu swiftly ascended the stage. After administering a healing pill to Ye Wanwan, they promptly carried her down and left without delay.

Thus, the Elite Competition concluded with a somewhat regrettable ending, leaving people feeling a tad despondent.

The other members of the Huangfu family, upon witnessing Ye Leng’an’s victory, were brimming with excitement. Only Huangfu Ruiling’s mood remained unchanged as he simply said, “Let’s head back.”

Soon, everyone returned to the Huangfu family’s residence.

As soon as Huangfu Ruiling saw the scar on Ye Leng’an’s neck in the courtyard, he looked visibly disturbed, and his eyes had a dangerous gleam.

If Ye Wanwan were present, he would surely eliminate her without hesitation.

Observing Huangfu Ruiling’s demeanor, Ye Leng’an reached out to smooth the furrow between his brows, then smiled and reassured him, “It’s nothing, just a minor injury. The bleeding has already stopped.”

Huangfu Ruiling’s gaze remained fixed on the wound, a trace of murderous intent coloring his tone. “Ye Wanwan deserves to die.”

Sensing Huangfu Ruiling’s anger, Ye Leng’an chuckled lightly, then shook her head with a smile. “Her current state is worse than death. Although I’m unsure how her cultivation improved so rapidly in such a short time, now that it’s been destroyed again, it won’t be easy to recover. I wonder what method she’ll resort to this time.”

Huangfu Ruiling’s mood didn’t improve much. Suddenly, he inquired, “What happened on stage just now? How did you suddenly…”

At his question, Ye Leng’an’s smile faded, her expression turning grim. “I don’t know what happened. During the match, I suddenly felt like I was being controlled and couldn’t move at all.”

“What?” Huangfu Ruiling’s brows furrowed deeper. “Was it sudden? Were there any signs beforehand?”

“No!” Ye Leng’an shook her head. “It happened suddenly, and I’m certain someone was manipulating things behind the scenes. But I don’t know the method used.”

After a pause, she continued, “I don’t understand it. It was just a moment, and I suddenly couldn’t move. Fortunately, I managed to break free by mobilizing all my spiritual power at the last moment.”

A glint of sharpness flashed in Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes. “It seems someone employed evil arts. However, all records of evil arts in the Hidden World were destroyed during a major event a thousand years ago. It seems there’s always one that escapes destruction.”

Ye Leng’an chuckled with intrigue. “I’m genuinely curious about the kind of evil arts that could control a person like that. Moreover, what was the person’s motive? Just to help Ye Wanwan win this match?”

After pondering, Huangfu Ruiling continued, “Regardless of the other party’s motive, it must be directed at you. Moreover, since they can manipulate your actions, there might be a next time. So, for now, refrain from going out and stay indoors.”

Ye Leng’an didn’t object, nodding. “However, I believe this incident must also involve the Ye family. Perhaps we should start our investigation there.”

“I’ll have the Enforcement Team look into it.” Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes flashed coldly. “No matter who is behind this, I will find them.”
