I made the entire cultivation world cry

Hua Luosha had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could pay to avoid trouble, when she saw Jiang Yi's smile suddenly turn cunning. Taking advantage of her moment of relaxation, his left hand, which had been ready to strike, suddenly shot out a fierce sword aura like a fire phoenix.

"I do not believe!"

Despite her best efforts to defend herself, Hua Luosha was still violently blasted away by the fiery phoenix sword energy, crashing into the stone wall behind her and falling to the ground. Her arms were charred black, and she coughed up blood. Her internal yin energy was being fiercely burned, and she groaned in pain.

"You...you are Jiang Fengying of the Xuan Ying Sword Sect?"

Jiang Yi stood with her arms crossed. Her sword energy had already invaded Hua Luosha's dantian. If she had a single thought, she could immediately take her life.

"My reputation is so great that it has even reached your ears."

Hua Luosha wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and struggled to her feet. "You are of unyielding character, refusing to bow to money, but I am not willing to die like this!"

Catching her breath, Hua Luosha pointed to the corpse puppet closest to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi had severed one of the puppet's legs, and it lay on the ground, unable to get up.

"He brutally murdered twenty-three mortal women!"

Jiang Yi's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look in the direction that Hua Luosha was pointing.

Then, the Flower Rakshasa pointed to the corpse puppet next to her.

"He stole his good brother's opportunity, and slaughtered his entire family, not even sparing a three-year-old child!"

"He was a compulsive gambler who gambled away all the money meant for his father's medical treatment, causing the deaths of both his parents!"

"And then there's him, born into the Xiao family of Tianya City. He bullies others by relying on his power and has killed many innocent rogue cultivators over trivial matters. He even tortured the parents to death in front of a ten-year-old child."

Jiang Yi's expression changed repeatedly, and he involuntarily loosened his arms.

Hua Luosha staggered to her feet, a near-maniacal laugh plastered on her face. "Jiang Fengying, I'm just asking you, do these people deserve to die?"

Jiang Yi composed herself; she had been so anxious to redeem the Yaoling Sword that she hadn't had time to investigate thoroughly.

Moreover, the cultivators of the Chimei Sect practiced the ghost path and the corpse path, yet they were accepted by someone as rigid as her mother, which shows that they acted uprightly and followed the rules. How could Hua Luosha, who was expelled from the sect by the Chimei Sect, be a good person?
but……

"How can I believe you if you just talk nonsense?"

Hua Luosha sneered, took off the blood-red bracelet from her wrist, and threw it directly to Jiang Yi.

"I, Hua Luosha, have always respected heroines, and you, Jiang Fengying, are one of them. Here are 50,000 low-grade spirit stones; consider it my money to save my life. I can't refine the sword energy you left in my dantian in a short time. You can investigate during this period. If you find out that I lied to you, you can come and kill me anytime!"

Having said that, Jiang Yi could only nod in agreement.

"Fine, I'll investigate what you just said. If I'm wrong, I'll return everything to you. But if you've deceived me, then you can just wait to die!"

After Jiang Yi finished speaking fiercely, she walked towards the outside of the stone room, but stopped in her tracks just as she reached the door.

"If I may ask, why did you have to pull this 'Rakshasa's Wedding' stunt? Wouldn't it have been more discreet to just kidnap and kill them?"

Having lived in fear and nearly lost her life, Hua Luosha had just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Yi was finally leaving. However, Jiang Yi turned back and asked her a question, which made Hua Luosha both surprised and annoyed.

"What business is it of yours!"

"Why are you getting all worked up?"

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow, asked no further questions, and quickly left Hua Luosha's cave.

Seeing that Jiang Yi had finally left, Hua Luosha slid to the ground and hurriedly took out healing pills from her storage belt and swallowed them.

Hua Luosha was also helpless about Jiang Yi's question, because the part of the Ghost Emperor's inheritance that she accidentally discovered in the Chimeizhai contained a secret technique for refining corpses. This marriage ceremony had to be performed first, and then the corpse puppet could be refined using the secret method.

The corpse puppets made in this way are indeed easier to control than those made in ordinary ways.

Hua Luosha looked up and saw that her carefully collected corpse puppets had been slaughtered by Jiang Yi. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"Jiang Fengying, you just wait!"

...Achoo!

Jiang Yi rubbed his itchy nose and returned to Tianya City as quickly as possible. Passing by the merchant house where the Yaoling Sword was pawned, Jiang Yi held the Flower Rakshasa bracelet but did not go in directly.

Most of the people Hua Luosha mentioned are difficult to trace, but the Xiao family of Tianya City is right in front of us.

Jiang Yi went directly to the West City, where rogue cultivators gathered in Tianya City. He asked around among a few people and found out that the matter was indeed as Hua Luosha had said: the person who had been kidnapped by the Xiao family was an extremely wicked person.

Because of his good spiritual talent, he was spoiled by the elders of the clan, became arrogant, and often committed evil deeds outside.

After being kidnapped by Hua Luosha, the Xiao family tried to keep the news under wraps for a while, but unfortunately, no secret can stay hidden forever, and the matter eventually came to light. For a time, the rogue cultivators of Tianya City were all applauding and saying that Hua Luosha had done a great job.

To protect their reputation, the Xiao family offered a reward of 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, which was the one Jiang Yi accepted.

"That was close, I almost became an accomplice to evil."

After finding out the truth, Jiang Yi immediately prepared to return to find Hua Luosha.

A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way. Although there are less than two months left before the time to redeem the Yaoling Sword is up, she cannot go against her conscience. This is the world of cultivation, and doing things against one's conscience will truly bring about inner demons.

When she first arrived in this world, she didn't believe in such idealistic things. It wasn't until she was undergoing a mental tribulation during the early stages of Foundation Establishment that she was nearly killed by her inner demons, and only then did she come to believe in this superstition. From then on, she had to convince her conscience before doing anything.

As soon as Jiang Yi arrived at the city gate, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in blue, who was in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, rushing towards him.

The city gate guards recognized him and immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Elder Xiao, where are you headed?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left. Once outside the city, he used his escape technique to speed away.

That direction was precisely the direction of the Flower Rakshasa Cave.

Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition rose in her mind. She hurriedly followed, but unfortunately, she was only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and her escape speed was much slower than that of the early stage of Golden Core.

"I hope I'm overthinking it."

……

Hua Luosha slumped on the cold stone ground, clutching her still throbbing dantian, struggling to circulate her Yin Sha Qi to refine the scorching sword energy that clung to her like a leech.

Each breath she took brought a burning pain, causing cold sweat to pour down her forehead.

"Hiss... Jiang Fengying! What high and mighty words! What about investigating thoroughly and returning everything? Bah! Just like those dogs from the Demon Sect who spout nonsense about benevolence and morality!"

The more Hua Luosha thought about it, the angrier she became, almost grinding her silver teeth to powder.

"Fifty thousand spirit stones...that's all I've painstakingly saved up! She'll definitely take it and run! No, I can't stay here, what if..."

Boom! ! !

A deafening roar suddenly exploded, the entire cave shook violently, and rubble rained down. The cave entrance stone wall, which was already on the verge of collapse from Jiang Yi's sword energy, was now completely shattered by an immense force!
Smoke and dust filled the air, and gravel flew everywhere.

An overwhelming pressure from the Golden Core stage descended, causing the heavily injured Flower Rakshasa to gasp for breath.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Hua Luosha stood amidst the ruins and looked up.

A middle-aged man dressed in blue with a gloomy face stood in mid-air, his spiritual power surging around him, and his killing intent solidified into a tangible form.

"Flower Rakshasa! Pay for my son's life!!!"

In a flash, Hua Luosha immediately realized that her worries had come true.

Besides Jiang Fengying, who just left here, who else knows her whereabouts?

"Jiang Fengying! I'll never let you go, even if it kills me—" (End of Chapter)
