Chapter 526: Revenge is Served

Chapter 526: Justice Served

"Shangguan Yu, have you lost your mind?"

Yuan Qingge finally saw Shangguan Yu's true colors and collapsed into sobs. "You've deceived me all these years, all these years!"

Shangguan Yu retorted, "I never deceived you. The one who truly deceived you was *your so-called friend* Ah Chong! Were you not happy with me all these years? You wanted to leave the Yun family, so I took you away. You wanted a child—I gave you one! What more do you want from me?"

"You..." Yuan Qingge, already in a fragile state, was so enraged she nearly fainted. Fortunately, Bai Wei stepped forward in time to support her.

With everything laid bare, all the grudges and the full story were now clear. Shangguan Yu, flushed with impending victory, laughed arrogantly. "Qingge, I'll give you everything you desire from now on. Yun Mu won't survive, and I've ordered mass production of the Cloudbane Elixir. I'll eradicate the Yun family you despise for you! We'll go somewhere no one knows us—we can even take that maid Bai Wei if you wish. The three of us will live happily for the rest of our lives."

Yi Jue's sharp, deep eyes pierced through Shangguan Yu as he spoke coldly, "Shangguan Yu, who told you the Yun family is doomed?"

Shangguan Yu smirked at Yi Jue. "Yi Jue, you're out of tricks! I've humored your charade long enough, and I'm tired. You keep calling this woman Yun Mu, but tell me—*which* Yun Mu is she? I've known the twins' secret all along. Over a year ago, when Yun Chengsen and Yi Hou plotted to kill the Yun Mu from Nanming Continent, my men were already in the capital, killing that idiot Yun Mu! She fell from such a high mountain—my men confirmed her corpse was stiff before leaving. Both twins are dead. Tell me, where in this world is there another Yun Mu? So, the Yun family is finished!"

A bloody fury ignited in Yi Jue's narrowed eyes.

At that moment, Yun Mu, standing nearby, let out a derisive laugh. "Then your men should've waited a little longer. They might've witnessed the miracle of my resurrection. You asked which Yun Mu I am? Let me tell you!"

With that, Yun Mu removed her veil.

When Shangguan Yu saw her face clearly, he froze in disbelief.

The woman before him had the Yun family’s iconic fox-eyed gaze and a perfect heart-shaped face.

Her features were flawless—gorgeous but refined, otherworldly yet fiercely proud.

This face unmistakably belonged to the Yun Mu from the capital.

Yet her aura was entirely different!

"You... who are you? Are you my Amu?" Yuan Qingge, standing nearby, was equally stunned.

Yun Mu sneered, her gaze disdainful. "I am Yun Mu! Both the Yun Mu of Nanming Continent and the Yun Mu of the capital!"

She slowly approached Shangguan Yu, leaning in to whisper chillingly in his ear, "Ever heard of resurrection—of possessing another’s body? I used to think the heavens gave me a second chance because my death was unjust. But now I see—it was so I could come back for revenge. To drag you to hell! So... it was you who killed Yun Xiaosha, who killed my sister."

In the next instant—

A gleaming dagger plunged deep into Shangguan Yu's chest!

No one had anticipated this turn of events—not even Shangguan Yu himself. "You... you actually..."

Yun Mu stared at him, her lips curling into a cold, venomous smile. In that moment, the dreaded Yun family head was back.

"After my rebirth, I swore to virtue and spared the sword. But you killed my father, murdered my sister, and caused the deaths of so many innocents. If I don't kill you, I'll never find peace—I won't be able to face my loved ones even in death!"

With icy grace, she crouched down, pulling out the dagger and using its blood-streaked blade to tilt his chin up.

"*Look at me!*" she hissed sharply.

Shangguan Yu was in too much pain to utter a sound, but his eyes were compelled to meet hers.

Their gazes locked.

And Yun Mu smiled—cold as the grave.

"Now I'm using my sister's body, with her blood in my veins, yet possessing my own mind. It took barely over a month to cultivate a new antidote! How does it feel to scheme your whole life and end up with nothing?"

Shangguan Yu glared at her resentfully, but was speechless!

Yun Mu stared at him mercilessly and whispered softly, "Go die. After death, those wronged souls you killed won't give you peace either!"

Yun Mu remained crouched on the ground, watching as Shangguan Yu was surrounded by death's aura until his eyes rolled back and he collapsed completely.

Yuan Qingge had already passed out from shock.

Yi Jue stepped forward and gently embraced Yun Mu from behind, whispering comfort in her ear: "It's alright now, it's all over, all over."

Yun Mu couldn't quite describe how she felt, but she was exceptionally calm and rational, even managing to speak lightly with a smile: "Yes! After all these twists and turns, Yun Xiaosha and I actually shared the same true enemy. Now that vengeance is finally served, I feel weirdly floaty, kind of empty, unsure of what to do next."

Yi Jue chuckled: "You don’t know what to do?"

He reached out and touched Yun Mu’s belly. "Your top priority now is to go home, rest well, and give birth to our twin daughters."

"Have you ever considered twin sons, or maybe a boy and a girl?"

"It has to be two daughters. I like girls," Yi Jue said definitively.

Yun Shumo interjected from the side: "Can you two discuss this later? We've still got a mess to deal with here!"

Yi Jue glanced at Shangguan Yu’s corpse on the ground and said, "Let Cheng Li take care of this."

But Yun Mu said, "He's not completely dead yet."

"What?" Yun Shumo stepped forward to check his breath. "Damn, he's still clinging to life. Let me put him out of his misery!"

He picked up the dagger from the ground and was about to strike when Yun Mu shouted, "Stop! I just needed to get my anger out. Letting him die so easily would be too easy on him. Send him to Yun Shuiyao’s place. If he's still alive by then, make them suffer together in that hellhole for Yun Xiaosha!"

Her earlier stab had indeed been fatal, but she had controlled the force perfectly, leaving him barely alive.

Yun Shumo pondered and said, "Yeah, nobody tortures people better than you."

Just then, Yun Mu’s phone rang.

It was Ji Ming.

"Damn it! What the hell have you been up to? Aren't I your ride-or-die partner? You went for revenge without me, Yun Mu—what gives? Trying to break up the team?" Ji Ming’s voice roared through the phone as soon as the call connected.

Yun Mu laughed. "I thought you had more important matters to handle. So, have you bagged Yi Yanran yet?"

Ji Ming chuckled slyly on the other end: "Well, how should I put it? Let’s say I nailed it!"
