My wife is a reborn big boss

Chapter 138 Falling into Hell

After that, Long Aoyu said something else, but Murong Shengxue didn't hear a word he said.

His mind was in turmoil, worrying about the safety of the four of them, and also... about whether he had been exposed.

"Husband." Long Yunying's calm voice rang in his ears, pulling him back to reality.

He suddenly looked up, his panicked gaze meeting her calm, unwavering eyes.

Long Yunying shoved a sword into his hand: "Go and deal with the traitor."

Murong Shengxue glanced around at the high-ranking members of the Senluo Palace in a daze, then mechanically walked to the four blood-soaked figures kneeling on the ground, the sword in her hand trembling slightly.

One of the hall masters whispered, "No wonder he's the palace master's son-in-law; he can even get credit for something so simple."

Although the sound was soft, everyone in the quiet hall could hear it.

Long Aoyu glanced at the man indifferently, and the astonishing pressure made the man break out in a cold sweat. No one in the entire hall dared to utter a sound.

"Shengxue, what are you waiting for?" Long Aoyu said gently.

Because of his affection for his son-in-law, he also trusted him greatly, not to mention that Murong Shengxue had disfigured herself to save his daughter.

He slowly lowered his head, meeting the resolute gaze of the indifferent young man.

Murong Shengxue understood; he was urging her to take action.

He took a deep breath and pierced the young man's chest with his sword.

This is Junior Brother Duan, a fellow disciple who joined the sect at the same time.

He drew his sword, and Junior Brother Duan fell to the ground, lifeless.

She slowly walked to the side. He was a slightly chubby and kind young man. He was Junior Brother Qin. Murong Shengxue remembered that he had never been angry with anyone. The only time was when he stood up for her, which resulted in him being sent to the Senluo Palace as an undercover agent.

He thrust out the longsword dripping with blood.

Junior Brother Qin opened his mouth slightly, and then collapsed.

The third person, Junior Brother Zhang, is unremarkable. He has an ordinary face and an ordinary personality, and has always been unremarkable, except for the time he argued with Elder Lin because of himself.

Murong Shengxue thrust out her sword for the third time.

Junior Brother Zhang looked down at the long sword in his chest, forced a smile, and collapsed to the ground.

Finally, he arrived in front of Junior Brother Nie.

Junior Brother Nie looked up at him blankly, then closed his bright eyes and lowered his head.

Murong Shengxue pursed her lips tightly and thrust out the sword.

Then he numbly walked back behind Long Yunying and sat down, closing his eyes so that others wouldn't see the pain in them.

"Throw them out to feed the dogs." Long Aoyu waved his hand, ordering his men to drag the four corpses away. Then he said, "The traitors are dealt with. Let's get down to business. Recently, all the sect's strongholds in Qizhou have been wiped out. Does anyone have any news?"

"We haven't offended anyone recently," one of the hall masters said, puzzled. "Who would want to cause trouble for us?"

'

A hall master next to him curled his lip and said, "Who else could it be but Tingyu Pavilion?"

"No way." The former hall master scratched his head, then looked pained. "They're from a reputable and righteous sect!"

We didn't even bother attacking their stronghold, yet they wiped it out completely! You didn't see it, our branch was in a terrible state! Over eight hundred people were killed! Even the old guard dog, Big Yellow, had its limbs broken and its neck snapped! The old hens in the kitchen had their legs chopped off and their heads chopped off! It was fucking horrific!"

"In any case, everyone should be more careful when going out in the future. We already suffered heavy losses because of Wu Qiong last time, and we really can't afford to go through another round of trouble." Long Aoyu rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "If all else fails, we can just go to Qizhou City to report to the authorities."

"Huh? Lord, we are the Demonic Sect! Reporting to the authorities..." The hall master couldn't continue. One of the eight major sects of the Demonic Sect, being bullied by the righteous path and actually having to report to the authorities? This is too shameful!

"You don't understand. Although we used to be gangsters, we're doing legitimate business now! What's wrong with reporting someone to the authorities if they cause trouble?" another gang leader retorted.

"Are brothels and casinos legitimate businesses?"

"That's right." Long Aoyu nodded. "We have licenses issued by the government and pay taxes on time every month. Moreover, we don't force women into prostitution, we don't use any tricks in running the casino, and we don't even lend money at usurious rates. Of course, it's a legitimate business."

Seeing that the hall master was about to say something, Long Aoyu said impatiently, "Alright, alright, everyone disperse."

"This subordinate takes his leave." The crowd dispersed.

Long Yunying also pulled away the absent-minded Murong Shengxue.

Upon returning to her residence, Murong Shengxue said to Long Yunying before even entering the house, "Yunying, I need to go out for a bit."

He turned and left, no longer caring about anything else.

"My husband," Long Yunying said slowly, "Will you come back?"

Murong Shengxue turned her back to her, remained silent for a long time, and then said, word by word, "Wait for me, I will come back."

Long Yunying watched his departing figure and sighed softly.

An hour later, in a house in Qizhou City.

Splash!

Murong Shengxue pushed open the door and entered. The old man sitting inside was taken aback, then frowned and said, "This place can't be exposed. What are you doing here!"

Murong Shengxue ignored his words and silently sat down opposite him.

"They're all dead."

The old man's brow remained furrowed: "What?"

"I'll talk!" Murong Shengxue suddenly erupted, gritting his teeth and hissing, "Junior Brother Nie, Junior Brother Qin, Junior Brother Duan, Junior Brother Zhang—they're all dead!"

"How could this be..." the old man murmured.

"Someone leaked the information," Murong Shengxue said coldly. "Elder Liu, I want you to find that person. I want to avenge them."

"Don't forget who you're talking to!" Elder Liu shouted.

"Then what do you want me to do! My fucking brother is dead! I killed him with my own hands!" Murong Shengxue's eyes were fierce: "At worst, we'll just go our separate ways, I'll just surrender to the Senluo Palace!"

"Han Chen!" Elder Liu roared, then softened his tone: "You must prioritize the greater good. If you abandon them, won't their deaths have been in vain?"

"The bigger picture! The bigger picture! The bigger picture is yours, not mine." Murong Shengxue closed her eyes and said wearily, "I'm tired. Five years. I'm really tired. These days of living in constant fear, I've lived like a dog."

"Hang in there, it'll be over soon." Elder Liu patted his shoulder. "By the way, recently all the branch offices of the Pavilion stationed in Qizhou have been wiped out. The Pavilion went to investigate, but they couldn't find a single survivor. Hundreds of people at the Yuhua branch were cut in half at the waist, and the word 'tragic' was written in blood on their faces... Was it the work of the Senluo Hall?"

"I haven't received any information, and I don't plan to gather any more," Murong Shengxue said coldly.

"Sigh, just bear with it a little longer." Elder Liu smiled. "The cabinet has already decided that it will soon launch a full-scale attack on the Senluo Palace."

He slapped his forehead and laughed, "Oh right, I should thank you. We've figured out the route your wife, Long Yunying, takes on every week. We'll start with her tonight. Judging by the time, it should be about time. Nephew Han, you'll be free soon."

"What!" Murong Shengxue's expression changed drastically. He stood up, turned around, and left.

"Hey, Junior Nephew Han, where are you going?" Elder Liu called out, but seeing that Han ignored him, he sat down again and smiled.

"Han Chen, Han Chen, how come you didn't die this time?"
