They all became female demons after being reborn.

There's no need to waste time on the mini-boss in Chapter 105, since you've already defeated him once.

Halfway there, Wu Cheng suddenly stopped.

"Young Master?" Shen Yeshu asked, his eyes filled with doubt.

She followed Wu Cheng's gaze and saw a man and a woman sitting in front of a night market stall.

She ignored the man, but glanced at the girl a few more times. "Young master, would you like me to go and capture that woman to warm your bed?"

Wu Cheng glanced at Shen Yeshu subconsciously, and seeing the smile in her gentle eyes, he was speechless. "Are you serious?"

"Of course." Shen Yeshu nodded matter-of-factly. "She looks like a beauty in the making. If you are interested, I will bring her here."

Wu Cheng shook his head. "That's not necessary."

The Demonic Sect truly lives up to its name. Shen Yeshu's previous behavior was all too normal, so normal that Wu Cheng almost forgot she was the young master of the Extinction of Emotion Sect.

If it were a senior female student... even a slightly morbid one, she definitely wouldn't do something like this.

But Shen Yeshu can.

Wu Cheng explained, "It's just that these two people's identities are very interesting. I think that if they could help with the Iron Buddha Temple matter, things might go more smoothly."

Who are those two people?

Naturally, it refers to An Jingru and An Xinzizai, the brother and sister from the Demon Suppression Guard.

Wu Cheng was able to remember them mainly because Anxin Zi's name was very special.

I originally thought they would come later, but I didn't expect them to appear in Xin'an County now.

It seems the Demon Suppression Guards started investigating the Iron Buddha Temple quite early.

Shen Yeshu glanced at the two men a few more times, noticing that they kept looking around but sat upright, so she asked, "Are you from the imperial court?"

Wu Cheng nodded. "They are the people from the Demon Suppression Guard. They must have been sent to investigate the Iron Buddha Temple. Lin'an is not a monolithic entity."

Shen Yeshu understood. "So, Young Master wants to leverage the power of the Demon Suppression Guard?"

"It's not convenient for me to take the lead. Although the Demonic Sect can take the blame, they can't be in the open, at least not in the eyes of the people. But the Demon Suppression Guard can be used to destroy the reputation and prestige of the Iron Buddha Temple to make the people believe it. Let's go and meet them."

Wu Cheng led a few people toward the An siblings with smiles on his face.

An Jingru and his sister soon spotted Wu Cheng and his group.

An Xin was about to get up when An Jingru pulled her back to sit down.

Seeing Wu Cheng walk to the table and sit down, An Jingru calmly clasped his hands in greeting and asked, "May I ask what business this young hero has with me?"

Wu Cheng sized up the two of them.

Seeing that An Jingru's attitude was normal, but An Xin was relaxed yet stiff, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at his and Fei Yuan's veiled faces, he knew what was going on.

He said with a half-smile, "Lord An, do you know who I am?"

An Xin suddenly became restless and his breathing became rapid. An Jingru knew something was wrong, but he remained calm on the surface. "I don't understand what you mean, young hero."

"If you don't understand, then you don't understand," Wu Cheng smiled. "Wasn't it your Demon Suppression Guard's Commander Sima who sent you to investigate the Iron Buddha Temple? Any results?"

An Xinzizai's eyes widened instantly, and she subconsciously turned to look at her older brother.

An Jingru could only bite the bullet and say, "We are just passing through and staying here for a few days."

Wu Chengran said, "That is because although we heard rumors, we were unable to enter the Iron Buddha Temple to investigate, so we were unable to complete the case and that's why we stayed here."

An Jingru remained silent.

"Then come with me, I'm going to Tiefo Temple."

Wu Cheng got up and left, with Qing Que following closely behind.

Fei Yuan followed nimbly, while Shen Yeshu glanced back at the two siblings with a half-smile on his face before leaving without hesitation.

Anxin asked in a low voice, "Brother, what do we do now? It seems we've been exposed! And this Fourth Prince doesn't seem stupid! And that red-eyed girl looks like that Innate Grandmaster of the Extinction Path!"

An Jingru's expression changed, then he gritted his teeth and stood up. "Let's go! Let's follow them and see!"

They had been staying there for several days, and although they knew that there was a big problem with the Iron Buddha Temple, they could not find a way to break through it.

Although we don't know why the Fourth Prince isn't a fool, or why he's colluded with the demonic sect, the presence of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm and his journey to the Iron Buddha Temple will naturally open a breach!

Anxin quickly followed and whispered, "Brother, we won't be killed, will we?"

"No, since the Fourth Prince recognized us but didn't make a move, he obviously needs us." An Jingru had already figured it out. "He has demonic sect members around him, so it's inconvenient for him to reveal his whereabouts. Therefore, we need to use our Demon Suppression Guard's name to handle the Iron Buddha Temple matter! This is a great opportunity to make a name for ourselves!"

Feeling relieved and at ease, he quickly quickened his pace.

Before long, Wu Cheng, Shen Yeshu, and Qing Que entered the temple through the main gate, and the An siblings exchanged a glance before following closely behind.

It was already past midnight, and the gate of Tiefo Temple was eerily quiet, with only two gatekeeper monks yawning and keeping watch.

Shen Yeshu also drew his weapon for the first time.

It was a thin, long rope of ruthlessness, made of some unknown material, yet in Shen Yeshu's hands it could kill silently and invisibly.

For example, at this moment, the Heartless Rope in her hand flew out silently, wrapped around the necks of the two night watch monks, and with a gentle pull, the two monks were decapitated and died without even making a sound.

Then, without hesitation, the group headed straight for the main hall.

In the plaza in front of the main hall, Wu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Oh? They're still here so late?"

The candlelight flickered in the main hall of Tiefo Temple.

Upon hearing the noise, the main hall doors opened wide, and Abbot Yuanye stood before the Buddha statue, his purple-gold robe fluttering without wind.

Behind him, four skilled monks stood in a fan shape, their daggers reflecting the candlelight, with dark red bloodstains faintly visible on their blades.

"Amitabha Buddha, may I ask what brings you gentlemen to my Iron Buddha Temple at night?"

Wu Cheng didn't bother with any more words, and simply said in a low voice, "Sister Qingque, the one on the far left is yours. Remember to keep him alive."

The blue sparrow's figure vanished from the spot.

The next moment, she appeared behind the monk on the far left, and the thin sword in the oil-paper umbrella was drawn from its sheath and slashed diagonally upwards, instantly piercing the monk's wrist!

Before the monk could even utter a scream, he was knocked unconscious by Qingque's longsword.

The other three monks ignored their companion and went straight for Wu Cheng! Clearly, they believed that they should capture the leader first!

Moreover, Wu Cheng is young and seems to be the easiest to deal with.

In the blink of an eye, three ring knives slashed down from three directions, their force blocking all of Wu Cheng's escape routes.

This is clearly some kind of extremely sophisticated formation!

The three of them worked together in a coordinated attack and defense; any ordinary expert trapped inside would not last more than three breaths.

But Wu Cheng was no ordinary expert.

He moved with the Flowing Cloud Step, his figure advancing and retreating between the three flashes of sword light.

The first slash grazed the back of his neck, the second missed his side, and the third slash was about three feet from his face when he flicked it off with a finger.

True energy shot out from his fingertips, shattering the monk's dagger into pieces. The force of the recoil caused the monk's hand to split open, and he staggered backward.

!

Yuan Ye seized the opportunity to make his move!

The black knife that had appeared in his hand at some unknown time was already slashing down at Wu Cheng's face, enveloped in black energy!

Just then, Shen Yeshu's Heartless Rope silently wrapped around Yuan Ye's right wrist from the side.

The silver thread suddenly tightened, leaving a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain on his wrist.

Yuan Ye grunted and slapped back with his left palm, the force of his palm striking the Heartless Rope, making the silk threads buzz.

At the same time, the three monks regained their footing and attacked again. Two monks' knives blocked Wu Cheng's retreat, while the man who had broken his knife earlier replaced it with a new one and slashed down from the front!

Wu Cheng finally got serious.

He pointed his fingers together like a sword, and a faint golden, sharp sword aura appeared on his fingers!

The sword energy spun at high speed, cutting the air around his fingers into fine, visible ripples!

Then he took a step forward, and the Flowing Cloud Step instantly burst forth. His figure drew a straight golden line in the encirclement of the three martial monks, so fast that everyone present except Fei Yuan could hardly catch it with their eyesight!

One of the three skilled monks was still slashing down with his dagger when he suddenly felt a lightness in his wrist. When he looked down, he saw that the newly replaced dagger in his hand had broken in two!

Immediately afterwards, an extremely fine and sharp sword intent penetrated his meridians from the broken end, completely sealing off the true energy in his entire right arm.

He stumbled back seven steps and crashed into a pillar in the palace. His right arm went limp and he could no longer lift it.

The other two monks exchanged a glance and simultaneously changed their moves!

Two monk knives crossed into a cross shape, their blades gleaming with a dark green poisonous light, and slashed down at Wu Cheng's head!

Wu Cheng neither dodged nor evaded; the golden sword energy on his sword finger collided head-on with the poisonous light!

The poisonous light melted away like snow being splashed with boiling water, but the sword's momentum continued, slicing through two monks' chests after severing two daggers.

The two were sent flying backwards and crashed onto the prayer mat.

The monks' robes on their chests were torn, revealing a very thin sword mark underneath.

The sword marks were not deep, barely slicing through the skin, but the sword energy had already penetrated their bodies, scattering the true energy within their dantian.

The monk, whose arm had been crippled, struggled to get up, only to have a delicate hand press down on his shoulder.

Shen Yeshu had somehow gotten behind him, and with a silent, tight grip on his neck, he collapsed to the ground.

Of the other two monks, one was knocked down by Qingque's sword. The narrow, thin sword stopped three inches from his throat, and the chilling sword intent made him afraid to even breathe.

Meanwhile, another person was slapped to the ground by a burly figure.

Bodhidharma flicked his wrist, glanced down at him, and then began chanting Buddhist mantras in a low voice, but his gaze remained fixed on him, as if he might suddenly burst out and blast him into mincemeat at any moment.

Within a few breaths, all four experts were rendered unable to fight.

Yuan Ye looked down at the bloody mark on his wrist left by the Heartless Rope, then looked up at the disciples scattered all over the hall, and fear finally flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly roared to the sky, took out a black pill from his sleeve, and stuffed it into his mouth.

As soon as the pill entered his throat, his eyes turned bloodshot, his muscles swelled, and his purple-gold kasaya fluttered loudly!

The black aura spread across the entire arm and then covered the black knife!

Then he swung his sword, and the black energy transformed into a black python, carrying a pungent, fishy wind as it hurtled towards Wu Cheng!

Wu Cheng pointed to his chest, and the golden sword energy on his fingertips suddenly receded, all the light shrinking back into his fingers, but a very bright and fine golden light was gathering at the tip of his finger.

The next instant, he simultaneously released the compressed true energy from all sixteen acupoints in his body, his figure appearing just as Yuan Ye's blade energy struck the point before...

Vanished in an instant!

Yuan Ye only saw a golden thread pierce through his sword aura, tearing apart his black sword, penetrating the layers of his protective true energy, and shattering the black relic on his sword made from ninety-nine portions of child marrow.

Then he lowered his head.

Two sword-like fingers were pointed directly at his heart. The golden sword light on the fingers silently burst forth the moment they pierced through, pulverizing the black energy within his body inch by inch.

It also shattered his heart.

"This time, I'll make sure you die a quick death." Wu Cheng stood in front of him, his voice so soft that only Yuan Ye could hear it.

This time? What does that mean?

Yuan Ye's mind was in a complete fog, and he was no longer able to think about anything.

He swayed, then fell backward, landing right under the lotus pedestal of the Buddha statue.

The golden Buddha statue still looked down at him with a kind and benevolent expression, its lips slightly upturned as always, as if it were smiling or sighing.

Yuanye closed his eyes.

Wu Cheng turned around, and Shen Yeshu had already withdrawn the Heartless Rope. She walked up to him and whispered, "The children in the cellar have all been rescued, and Shen Tu Lie's men are taking care of them."

Her gaze lingered on his face for a moment, making sure he wasn't injured before she stepped back and resumed her indifferent expression.

Qingque sheathed the narrow-bladed sword into the umbrella hilt, the crisp sound of the sword returning to its original position being particularly clear.

Fei Yuan was still leaning against the pillar outside the palace gate, shelling peanuts, as if the fight just now was nothing more than a trivial spectacle.

Bodhidharma sat cross-legged in front of the four crippled warrior monks, chanting scriptures in a low voice.

Wu Cheng turned to look at the dumbfounded An Jingru and An Xinzizai siblings, and then waved to them.

The brother and sister shuddered, then cautiously walked over.

An Jingru respectfully cupped his hands in greeting, "Fourth Prince."

He stopped pretending not to know Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng beckoned, and Qingque immediately presented a prepared booklet with both hands.

Wu Cheng took the booklet and handed it to An Jingru. "This is evidence of the evil deeds committed by the Iron Buddha Temple. But do you have the guts to take it?"

In fact, this booklet contains not only evidence of crimes committed by Tiefo Temple, but also evidence against Yuan Hao and Wu Ju.

This booklet can be traced back to Sima Xun, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

This was Wu Cheng testing Sima Yue, to see what she would do, and also to divert her attention.

Even if Sima Yue reported this matter to the emperor, the Garan Temple would not believe that his target was Lin'an.

However, if Sima Yue chooses not to report it, then there will be a basis for cooperation during this trip back to Lin'an.

An Jingru pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took the booklet. "This humble subject will certainly report this matter to the Commander!"

"Hmm." Wu Cheng tilted his head, looking at the siblings. "Also, I am not the fourth prince, do you understand?"

Anxin replied casually, "But you are His Highness the Fourth Prince. I saw your portrait in the Commander's room."

Oh? Sima Yue noticed me so early?

Wu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

An Jingru's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Your Highness... Young hero, please don't be offended. My sister is innocent and likely mistook me for someone else. But rest assured, young hero, our Demon-Suppressing Guard will not tolerate the heinous crimes committed by the Iron Buddha Temple! The people will also receive appropriate compensation!"

He's so eager to improve!

They really know what they're doing.

Wu Cheng nodded with a smile, then patted him on the shoulder, "I trust you to handle things."
