"How dare you blame me?"

Enraged by Bai Shijing's insults, Madam Ma retorted, "If it weren't for you, this good-for-nothing, who would rather die than help me deal with Qiao Feng, would I have gone to seduce Quan Guanqing and that useless old man?"

"puff!!!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Xu's face instantly turned red, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood due to anger and fainted in front of everyone.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Upon seeing this, Nalan Sheng couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement and said, "I have to say, I really admire this Madam Ma. She doesn't even let go of such an old-fashioned fellow."

However, I've already accidentally discovered at least three adulterers; who knows how many more haven't been discovered yet?

Because Nalan Sheng did not deliberately lower his voice, everyone naturally heard what he said.

The Beggars' Sect disciples exchanged bewildered glances and began to scrutinize the others with suspicion.

Elder Song and his group, who had just attempted a rebellion, were especially suspected by the crowd.

Although Elder Song and the others are old enough to be Madam Ma's grandfathers, even Elder Xu was won over by Madam Ma, so it's normal that Elder Song and the others couldn't resist Madam Ma's temptations.

"Old Tan, you wouldn't be having an affair with that woman too, would you?"

Zhao Qiansun, riding his donkey, suddenly grinned mischievously and said, "Otherwise, since this has nothing to do with you, why are you being so enthusiastic?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Tan Gong's lips twitched, and he said angrily, "You're the one who's having an affair with that slut! I only came here because of Elder Xu, who knew he would do such a foolish thing?"

At this time, Madam Ma was like a stinking cesspool; anyone who dared to get involved with her would be ruined!

"Qiao Feng, although you didn't kill Ma Dayuan, Chief Wang did leave a secret letter before his death."

Just as everyone was trying to avoid the woman, Madam Ma suddenly sneered, "If you truly have a clear conscience, do you dare to read aloud the contents of that secret letter in public?"

"I, Qiao, have always acted with a clear conscience; what is there that I wouldn't dare to do?"

Without hesitation, Qiao Feng said, "Men! Search her body and find the secret letter."

"Yes, boss."

Upon hearing this, a middle-aged beggar immediately began searching Madam Ma's body and quickly found the secret letter left by Wang Jiantong, which he then handed to Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng initially didn't take it seriously, but after reading the contents of the secret letter, his expression turned extremely ugly.

Part of the secret letter was written by Wang Jiantong, and another part was written by Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple.

"Qiao Feng, although Chief Wang is dead, Abbot Xuanci is still alive. If you don't believe the contents of this secret letter, you can go and ask him for verification."

Looking at Qiao Feng's dejected appearance, Madam Ma couldn't help but laugh, "What I can't have, no one else can have either. I'd rather destroy him than give him to someone else, hahaha..."

Upon seeing this, Elder Song felt a sense of foreboding and quickly led the other elders to examine the contents of the secret letter.

"Boss, this secret letter is definitely a forgery! You absolutely mustn't fall for that wicked woman's tricks!"

Even though Elder Song and the others had recognized Wang Jiantong's handwriting, they still refused to believe that Qiao Feng was a Khitan.

"This matter is of great importance, and I must personally go to Shaolin Temple to confirm it with Abbot Xuanci."

Once he regained his senses, Qiao Feng said in an unquestionable tone, "Until I ascertain the truth of this matter, I will entrust the affairs of the Beggars' Sect to you elders for joint management!"

"Whoosh—"

After Qiao Feng finished speaking, he didn't give anyone a chance to stop him and disappeared into the apricot grove as a blur.

Watching Qiao Feng's departing figure, and thinking of the Beggars' Sect disciples who had sacrificed themselves in vain, Elder Song immediately roared, "Guards, beat this wicked woman and her adulterers to death with clubs!"

Upon hearing this, the Beggars' Sect disciples in charge of law enforcement raised their sticks and surrounded Madam Ma and her companions.

"The Beggars' Sect made an appointment to meet someone at Huishan, but broke their promise and didn't show up. It turns out they were all sneaking around here. How laughable, how laughable..."

Just as Madam Ma and the others were about to be beaten to death, a sinister voice suddenly came from the northwest corner.

"Bang!"

Before anyone could react, a figure suddenly flew out from behind the apricot tree and crashed straight to the ground.

The man's face was a bloody mess, his throat had been cut, and he had been dead for some time. He was none other than Xie, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect's Righteousness Branch.

"Thanks, brother!"

Upon witnessing this, Chief Jiang was both shocked and furious, exclaiming, "In times of war, envoys are not to be killed! I sent Deputy Chief Xie to change the meeting schedule; why did you take his life?"

"This man is arrogant and rude. He refused to kneel before my general. How can we allow him to live?"

That sinister voice rang out again, prompting the Beggars' Sect members to unleash a torrent of curses.

"Go ahead and curse! Curse all you want! After today, you won't have another chance to curse."

"My eyes hurt so much, I can't open them."

"Why do I feel a little dizzy?"

"Oh no, the Tartars are causing trouble..."

Apart from Nalan Sheng, who possessed an immune system to all poisons, everyone present had tears in their eyes and collapsed uncontrollably.

"Da da da..."

With a cacophony of footsteps, hundreds of fully armed Western Xia warriors emerged from all directions, surrounding Nalan Sheng and his companions.

"I didn't expect there would still be one who slipped through the net!"

Dressed in a bright red brocade robe and riding a black steed, Helian Tieshu, seeing that Nalan Sheng had not been defeated by Bei Su Qingfeng, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. He raised his riding whip and said, "Men, seize him for this general!"

At Helian Tieshu's command, several Western Xia warriors drew their swords and charged towards Nalan Sheng.

"court death!"

Upon seeing this, Nalan Sheng immediately formed a hand seal and summoned ten water clones.

"Da da da..."

The water clones simultaneously raised their hands, their fingertips spitting out dazzling tongues of fire, unleashing countless fireballs that shot towards the surrounding Western Xia warriors.

Before Helian Tieshu’s incredulous eyes, most of the hundreds of Western Xia warriors he brought were instantly killed by his water clones.

"You... youkai..."

He only snapped out of his daze when his water clone pointed in the direction of Helian Tieshu, and instinctively pulled on the reins, wanting to turn his horse around and run away.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

Unfortunately, before Helian Tieshu could escape, he was riddled with dozens of fire bullets, leaving dozens of charred and bloody holes in his body.

Murong Fu, disguised as a Western Xia warrior, saw that Helian Tieshu had been killed and immediately tried to make a run for it.
