I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"You're Qin Ge?"

"Give me back my son's and husband's lives!"

Wu Xianjun was dressed in plain, coarse linen clothing, her makeup was very light yet exquisite, and the anger in her eyes seemed to want to burn Qin Ge to ashes.

"Are you Liu Tingwei's mother?"

Qin Ge was quite surprised. Liu Musheng and Chao Wu were good friends, and both of them were quite old, yet the beautiful woman in front of him looked graceful and charming.

Shen Yulan's information is inaccurate. She only said that Liu Musheng had a child late in life, but she didn't say that he changed wives along the way!

It seems that being the head of the Shadow Martial Arts Hall is not as hard as imagined. Liu Musheng is living quite comfortably and eating well.

"Stop with the empty words!" Chao Wu also spoke up. "Qin Ge! Let me ask you, did you kill Hall Master Liu?"

Qin Ge said calmly, "Old man, questioning others requires strength. You've brought so few people; are you here to die?"

As he spoke, he looked towards the Wangjiang Pavilion, where he could vaguely see several figures and hear the melodious sound of a zither.

Is that Han Beichen? He's so flamboyant!

He asked to meet me, but then had these people block me here. What was his intention?

"Alright, I'll take that as an admission!" Chao Wu waved his hand, and the people standing behind him and Wu Xianjun immediately dispersed, surrounding Qin Ge and drawing their weapons.

"I don't care what schemes or tricks you used to murder Master Liu, since you've killed someone, you'll pay with your life!"

"Besides the experts from the Liu and Wu families, there are also experts from the Shadow Martial Hall here."

"Besides, our headmaster is nearby; he could crush you with one hand!"

"Is that really Han Beichen in the pavilion?" Qin Ge was confused. What was going on here?

Arrange a meeting with him, then have someone ambush him to seek justice for Liu Musheng's death. If someone else did this, it would be perfectly reasonable.

Qin Ge felt something was off about Han Beichen's actions; it was like taking off your pants to fart.

"Old Chao, why are you so eager to help? First you stood up for the people from Dongyang, and now you've come to Jiangcheng to seek revenge. What are you doing everywhere?"

"You're not having an affair with Liu Musheng's wife, are you?"

Qin Ge was just saying it casually, but when he noticed the subtle change in Wu Xianjun's expression, he immediately burst out laughing.

Goodness, you were right?

Liu Musheng treats you like a brother, but you confide in your sister-in-law?

The key question is, is Chao Wu still capable at his age?

No wonder Wu Xianjun, after losing her husband and son, still had the mind to care about her beautiful appearance. But to be fair, her makeup was really good, enough for Shen Yulan to learn for several years.

"Filthy language!" Chao Wu roared in fury, seemingly losing his composure. "Seize him and break his arms and legs!"

"Kid, surrender and come back with us. If you confess properly, you might have a chance to live, or at the very least, a few more days."

"If the head of the sect makes a move, you'll be dead without a burial place!"

Wu Xianjun retorted, "Don't waste your breath on him, just chop him into mincemeat!"

"Shall we make dumplings tonight?" Qin Ge's gaze shifted to Chao Wu, a playful smile curving her lips. "Old man Chao, is your wife fun?"

"No, are the dumplings delicious?"

"You all say I killed Liu Tingwei and Liu Musheng, but has anyone witnessed it? Do you have any evidence?"

He then looked at Wu Xianjun, "Your man's seven-day mourning period hasn't even passed yet, and you're dressed so extravagantly. Are you planning to go down and join him after you've taken your revenge?"

"Should we spend time with the others first?"

"Shut up!" Wu Xianjun was trembling with anger. "What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?"

"The Shadow Martial Hall doesn't need to answer to anyone for their actions. Kill him!"

Qin Ge moved with lightning speed, appearing beside Wu Xianjun in the blink of an eye. One hand gripped her neck. "Who do you want to kill?"

"Your behavior is hard for me to understand."

"Since you're convinced I killed Liu Musheng, you should have some understanding of my skills. Or at least you should know something about Liu Musheng's skills, right?"

"I can even kill Liu Musheng, so where do you get the audacity to challenge me? Is it because Han Beichen is backing you up?"

"Or do you still think I have some connection with the Shadow Martial Hall, and therefore dare not kill you?"

"There used to be a dog in my village that wasn't well cared for. It would bark very loudly at people it barely knew, but when a real stranger came into the village, it would be too scared to bark."

"Now that I think about it, that dog seems to have come from the same school as you, Old Man Chao!"

"You—!" Chao Wu was speechless with anger, his lips trembling and his beard shaking.

"So what if I am!" Wu Xianjun remained completely unfazed. "The Grand Master is right here in Wangjiang Pavilion. You dare to touch me!"

Seeing that Wu Xianjun was not flustered, Chao Wu was not flustered either. Thinking that the head of the main hall was not far away, he even became a little smug. "Qin Ge, I advise you not to make any rash moves."

"Some mistakes can't be undone. It won't just be you who dies; Qiao Song and Shen Yulan of Jinling, Yu Jinghong of Donghai, and others will all be implicated!"

"I now have reason to suspect that Shen Yulan has already betrayed the Shadow Martial Hall. She betrayed Hall Master Liu and became your accomplice, which gave you the opportunity to kill Hall Master Liu!"

"You guys have quite the imagination, let's give it a try!" Qin Ge snapped Wu Xianjun's neck with a "crack," and then his figure swayed again, appearing in front of Chao Wu.

Before Wu Xianjun could fall to the ground, Chao Wu was grabbed by Qin Ge. "You seemed to be threatening me just now?"

"Boy! How dare you..."

"Click—"

Before Chao Wu could finish speaking, his head lolled to one side, and he soon died.

Everyone else was stunned. How could two people have died in the blink of an eye while they were chatting?

Qin Ge tossed Chao Wu's corpse aside casually. "I wanted to kill you back in Jinling. You barely escaped with your life, and you still had to come and jump in front of me!"

He glanced at the rest of the group. "Why aren't you making a move yet? Your execution is really lacking!"

"kill!"

A few minutes later, Qin Ge planted the blood-stained longsword in the ground and strode towards the Wangjiang Pavilion.

Behind him lay corpses, none alive.

Inside the Wangjiang Pavilion, as everyone watched Qin Ge getting closer and closer, they all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Only Han Beichen gazed calmly at the river, his face revealing no emotion.

Qin Ge arrived at the pavilion, a look of surprise on her face.

Besides Han Beichen, there were eight other people in the pavilion. He couldn't judge their martial arts cultivation level, but judging from their aura, none of them were weaker than Liu Musheng!

As expected of the head of the main hall, his style is truly high.

Qin Ge could tell that these people were all poised to attack, just waiting for Han Beichen's order to swarm him.

Taking on eight Liu Mushengs at the same time is really a bit tricky, not to mention there's also the unfathomable Han Beichen on the side!

He secretly planned his escape route; if he couldn't win, he would run.

Whether it's martial arts or cultivating immortality, the highest realm is always "as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn."

"Who told you to kill them?"

Han Beichen's voice wasn't loud, but it sent a jolt through everyone except Qin Ge.
