Beastmaster of the Ages-Chapter 3482 - If You get Angry, You Lose

Suishen Jiguang managing to achieve the major zenith within a few short decades following her minor-zenith breakthrough had completely shattered Suishen Ranxing's common sense about cultivation.

The old patriarch, Suishen Xiao, was also just as mindblown. However, his reaction wasn't one of jealousy, but wild bliss—unlike his son, who couldn't accept it at all! His face beamed with a wide smile and his hands shook with agitation. "Good! Very good! You didn't disappoint me after all! You’re the best one! House Suishen finally has four major-zenith foundationeers!"

Aside from the valley lord, all major-zenith foundationeers were among the peak forces of a house, each of them able to match a thousand elites. Suishen Jiguang's current status had given House Suishen a bit more negotiating power in the current chaos. At the thought of that, the old man was filled with unbelievable euphoria.

But after looking at her a few more times, he was stunned. "Where's your Suishen Blood?"

Suishen Jiguang pursed her lips and said, "I'm already an adult. It isn't any of your business."

"It.... Well, fine!" The old patriarch had a guess that her sudden breakthrough might have had something to do with her missing Suishen Blood, but then again, trading her long-kept Suishen Blood for reaching the major-zenith level was a crazy good deal. As her father, he awkwardly asked, "Who... who is he?"

He had previously asked about the person in her heart, and as far as he knew, there wasn't anyone like that in House Suishen or Myriadpath Valley. There shouldn't be anybody whose totems would be better than hers, considering the extent of benefits that she had reaped from the 'exchange'.

Suishen Jiguang already had an answer ready for that. In a cold tone, she said, "It doesn't matter who he is. The most important thing is—"

She shook her head and glared at her brother, and then back to her father. "Dad! The fact that the two of you showed up here and cleared everyone else away means that you've accepted that he tried to kill his own wife, right?!"

The old patriarch didn't know what to say to that. He exchanged glances with Suishen Xiyue and saw complete disappointment in her expression. That was going to be trouble. No matter how hard he had planned, he’d never counted on his daughter reaching the major zenith so soon, which in turn raised her status in House Suishen and gave her a lot of sway. It went without question that she would stand on Suishen Xiyue's side.

"Jiguang—"

Before the old patriarch could say anything, Suishen Xiyue interrupted in a disappointed and sardonic tone, "I thought we’d be welcomed by our house after surviving impossible odds and returning.... I’d thought our children would be greeting us with tearful joy, yet all we were met with was a fatal attack by my so-called husband! A house and family like this is disappointing to the point of parody."

Her tragic smile left her face, leaving only embers of flame and blood behind in her eyes. "Dad, you knew from the start how sick Suishen Ranxing was. He actually tricked his own wife to go to the Yin-Yang World to kill her for an outsider woman!"

Suishen Jiguang shot them the same look of disbelief. Were they even still a family? Putting Suishen Hongtian and Suishen Yue aside, even the two men before her with such righteous reputations were detestable beyond belief. They were supposed to be the only paragons left in Myriadpath Valley after House Qitian and House Yumo's dirty deeds had been aired out in public.

"This is such a fucking joke!" Even with Suishen Jiguang's good temperament, she found herself so angry that she couldn't say anything else. She greatly pitied Suishen Xiyue, sympathizing with how she felt over being betrayed by her husband and almost killed. Even after surviving the attempt, as well as everything that followed, her husband had come to kill her once again. It would be considered contrived even for the most satirical of tragedies.

She looked at her sister-in-law and didn't see any tears. Any that she had shed would have long dried out from all the torture she’d endured in the Yin-Yang World. Suishen Xiyue had seen through everything long ago and didn't feel sad anymore. All that was left was blood, flame, and endless vengeance!

The old patriarch paused for a long moment before deeply sighing, unable to say a single word.

"Enough!" Suishen Ranxing yelled at the two women. "Suishen Jiguang, don't give Dad any trouble. I was the one who decided everything. He was our father and it was hard on him as well. It's amazing that you've reached the major zenith, but only take it out on me. I'm not afraid."

He then coldly looked at Suishen Xiyue and said, "As for you, there's nothing left to be said. I can only be free of a woman like you after killing you. I don't care whether or not you're still alive. Everytime I see you, I'll kill you. What can you do about it?"

"Shut up!" Suishen Jiguang was fuming with rage. How could there be someone so ridiculous?! People who had shared wedding vows were supposed to be loyal for life! How could someone even contemplate killing the mother of his children after all those years? How selfish could one possibly be?

"Suishen Ranxing, you're more pathetic than animals!" Suishen Jiguang's eyes were bloodshot. She mobilized her cosmoforce and was just about to manifest her aurora nymphs.

"Sister Jiguang!" Suishen Xiyue pulled on her arm as her rage peaked, and she whispered, "It's good that you've finally seen the truth, but don't get mad. If you get angry, you lose."

She turned to her husband and said, "I have to thank you for being cruel to the point that you've shattered any lingering hope I have. If I’d seen you kneel before me and beg for forgiveness, I would've relented on account of our children, like before."

"How laughable.... You only dare to act like this because of Jiguang! I’ll stand here and remain in your way. Let's see what you can do about it!" Suishen Ranxing roared. The moment he finished, a flaming crimson figure rapidly and savagely appeared before him!

Before he could react, a burst of flames turned into redlotus flaregods and shattered the cosmoforce around him, slapping him with the force of millions of volcanic explosions. Half of Suishen Ranxing's face exploded, scattering astral blood all over the place and vaporizing many astrons!

With a painful cry, he slammed into the ground and rolled from the momentum of the strike until he fell completely out of the Myriadpath Celestial Formation. The raging slap was so loud that it echoed nonstop.

"What?" Suishen Jiguang gaped at the scarlet-haired woman. How had she been able to send Suishen Ranxing flying with a single slap? She should have been a minor-zenith foundationeer! How could that have been possible?
