Lu Chao Chao gazed at them with unshakable calm.

But the more serene she appeared, the more terrified Xie Yu Zhou became.

He had never seen Lu Chao Chao like this. From the moment they entered the altar, she had remained unusually silent.

Instead of feeling reassured, Xie Yu Zhou found his heart tightening with anxiety.

“A deity selecting a divine attendant—I remember there being three unbreakable rules.”

“No senseless killing. No abuse of divine power. No placing oneself above mortals. A divine attendant is merely a servant of the gods, managing the world’s offerings and conveying mortal prayers.”

“If they commit a grave sin, the gods will personally deliver punishment.”

“Am I correct?”

The Su family members burst into laughter, pointing at Lu Chao Chao as they doubled over with amusement.

“Look! We have a fool here who actually believes in oaths!”

“What a simpleton! Truly, an idiot.”

“Go ahead! Inform the gods! Call upon them if you dare! Hahaha, punish the Su family? Who could possibly punish us?”

“In the Southern Kingdom, the Su family is king!” Old Master Su stood atop the altar, a stark contrast to his usual reserved demeanor. His face brimmed with arrogance.

After all, the Empress hailed from the Su family.

The lineage of the Eldest Princess also depended on the Su family’s power. In the Southern Kingdom, the Su family was practically royalty.

“What of His Majesty? Have you placed him beneath your feet? Do you truly think yourselves above the law?!” the young man behind Lu Chao Chao shouted in fury, fresh blood seeping from his wrist wounds.

“His Majesty?” Old Master Su scoffed and laughed.

“You still don’t know, do you? His Majesty has fallen into a coma. The Eldest Princess is now regent. Next month is the succession ceremony!”

“What can His Majesty do? A joke!” Old Master Su’s eyes shone with a chilling glint.

Jiang Lin gritted his teeth, his wounded sister, Jiang Yu, strapped to his back.

“I am of Celestial Medicine Valley! The valley will not let this go!” Jiang Lin clenched his fear, desperate to keep his sister alive.

It was his fault. He had coaxed his sister into evading their guards, leading them straight into danger.

“Celestial Medicine Valley? You won’t even leave this place alive, let alone take revenge!”

Old Master Su’s voice was indifferent.

His gaze upon them was as if he were looking at the dead.

“Hahaha! If Nan Feng Yu takes the throne, the Southern Kingdom is doomed! Heaven is blind! Heaven is blind!” A young man collapsed to his knees, wailing in despair.

Old Master Su, his hair and beard snow-white, leaned on his cane and gave a slight wave of his hand.

“Princess Sunshine—execute her on the spot!”

“As for the rest of you… I had planned to keep you alive for a few more days. But it seems you are no longer worth sparing. Take them back—sacrifice them completely!”

His voice was frigid, sending chills down spines.

Jiang Lin staggered backward with his sister.

Cries filled the air, the fragile line between sanity and collapse breaking for many.

Xie Yu Zhou clung nervously to Lu Chao Chao’s back.

She remained expressionless, simply watching.

“I truly dislike killing.”

“I favor peace.”

“Why must you force my hand?” A disciple becoming a divine attendant was something that did concern her, in some ways.

The Su family disciples sent waves of spiritual energy at her, attempting to bind her movements.

But as Lu Chao Chao stepped forward, the energy parted as though it did not exist.

“Spiritual power should not be used like this.”

“It is meant to aid the weak, to protect the people, to bridge the mortal realm with the divine.”

“You are using it all wrong.”

A deep unease suddenly surged in Old Master Su’s heart. This sense of foreboding had saved him countless times.

He tried to step back, abandoning his cane.

Yet his legs refused to move.

Aghast, he lifted his gaze toward Lu Chao Chao. This was merely a three-and-a-half-year-old girl, yet an overwhelming pressure radiated from her.

And then—

His feet left the ground, his entire body suspended in midair, thrashing.

“Old Master!”

“What’s happening?! What’s going on?!” The Su family disciples screamed in terror.

“You truly deserve death!”

“I could overlook your greed, your selfish pursuit of power.”

“But how dare you use the power bestowed by the gods to harm mortals?! Those lives—you took them without care!!”

Step by step, she approached, her tiny ponytail bristling in anger.

Old Master Su was trapped midair, his limbs flailing wildly.

“She… she…”

“She has… divine power!” A formless force gripped his throat, choking off his words. His face turned red, then purple, his eyes bulging from suffocation.

Jiang Lin stared blankly at Lu Chao Chao.

Turning to Xie Yu Zhou, he asked, “Princess Sunshine… who exactly is she?”

Xie Yu Zhou pondered, then replied, “A big deal. Even the gods fear her!” His tone was utterly sincere.

Jiang Lin rolled his eyes. “Forget it. I shouldn’t have asked.”

Xie Yu Zhou’s face darkened. [I knew it!]

[They all think I’m an idiot!]

[So frustrating!]

[The whole world is blind, and only I see the truth. Holding onto secrets is too painful. But even if I spill them, no one believes me.]

Old Master Su’s veins bulged grotesquely. A foul stench suddenly filled the air.

Drip. Drip.

“Old Master Su wet himself! How shameful! An eighty-year-old man just wet his pants!” Xie Yu Zhou shouted, enraging the Su family disciples.

“Kill Princess Sunshine! Now!”

The Su family disciples could not afford further delay. Their swords swung toward Lu Chao Chao.

Yet when the strikes landed, a muffled impact echoed.

Their blades shattered instantly.

Their faces paled. None had anticipated the terrifying depth of Lu Chao Chao’s power.

Her strength was unfathomable.

At some point, her hair had come undone, floating eerily in the air.

Her expression was vacant, as if she had lost herself to something deeper.

“You should all die!”

“AHHH!”

“AHHH!”

The Su family disciples screamed in horror as an invisible force hoisted them into the air.

Ruthless energy sliced into their flesh, carving chunks from their bodies.

One after another.

“Does it hurt?”

“So now you understand pain? They were not ants. They were living people!”

Lu Chao Chao’s eyes gleamed crimson, glowing with rage.

Xie Yu Zhou felt a fear he could not explain.

In her palm, a light flickered.

Sunshine Sword emerged!

Though September still carried summer’s warmth, the moment the blade appeared, the temperature plummeted.

Cold. Bone-chilling cold.

Goosebumps covered everyone’s skin as they shivered uncontrollably.

The small, fragile-looking Lu Chao Chao dragged the blade against the ground, its shrill scrape unsettling all who heard it. She walked forward—

A god of death in their eyes.

With a light swing, the altar’s roof was sliced away.

Moonlight shone directly down upon them.

Jiang Lin and the others gasped sharply, exchanging terrified glances.

“Save us, Dark God! Save us!”

“Xuan Yu! Show yourself and aid your faithful!”

“The Su family has worshipped you for a thousand years! Descend, O Dark God!”

The Su family disciples screamed in terror, their hands forming seals to summon their god.

“Dark God? Xuan Yu?”

“Come then, Xuan Yu. Let’s see if you can save them.”

Lu Chao Chao’s gaze was icy.

Boom!

In the silent night sky, the stars retreated as a massive black vortex formed above the Su family.

Thunderclouds rolled, lightning slashing across the heavens.

It was as if the sky itself would split apart.

“It’s… it’s… the Dark Fiend God Xuan Yu!” Old Master Su rasped, his voice barely escaping his suffocating lungs.

Yet he managed to laugh.

“Ha… ha…”

Their savior had come.

The Su family’s divine protector had arrived!
