They all became female demons after being reborn.

Chapter 99 Reunion with Bai Suyi

Wu Cheng glanced subconsciously at Yuan Hao's lifeless head lying on the ground.

Is Shen Yeshu really that strong?

He had seen Shen Yeshu fight before, when she was in Shenjiazhuang. At that time, she and her senior sister were evenly matched.

But Wu Cheng later learned that his senior sister hadn't actually used her full strength, and compared to her, he was definitely no less capable than Shen Yeshu after his improvement.

But her actions in killing Yuan Hao were clean and swift. Even if Wu Cheng were to do it himself, he wouldn't be able to kill him in one blow unless he launched a sneak attack.

Most importantly... he didn't even see Shen Yeshu's movements clearly!

Therefore, in the last encounter at Shen Family Village, not only did Senior Sister hold back, but even Shen Yeshu did not use his full strength!

"Young master?"

As Wu Cheng finished reminiscing, he saw Shen Yeshu's extremely concerned eyes.

"Miss Shen, please have the people from the Extinction of Love Path and the Burial of Life Path go to the treasury and take away all the gold and silver treasures that Prince Yu and his men have looted, and load them onto the boat. We'll go to Luoyang Prefecture, and then immediately board the boat and leave via the Yi River."

Shen Tu Lie objected, "Wait! Kid! What about your share you promised me?"

"Let's leave first," Wu Cheng said. "The Prince of Yu and the Magistrate of Luoyang are both dead here. The court will definitely send people to investigate. When the city is sealed off by a large army, your Fushengtang business will not be able to continue. Perhaps your identity as a member of the Burial Path will be discovered. It's better to leave first: 'Don't worry, you won't miss your share.'"

Shen Tu Lie sighed, "Damn it, now I'm really on your pirate ship."

The martial arts world and the imperial court have never had much interaction, but this kid went straight to the Prince Yu's mansion and killed both the Prince Yu and the magistrate of Luoyang. It's clear that he has big ambitions!

But he couldn't escape now. Besides... there were only a handful of cats and dogs left in the Burial Path. Continuing to hang around would only prolong his life. It was better to pull off a big heist! Maybe he could turn things around!

He pointed to the maids who had been knocked unconscious.

"We can't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but keeping them here won't end well either." Wu Cheng frowned and pondered for a moment before instructing, "Miss Shen, please have your people from the Extinction of Emotions go and wake them up for questioning. If any of them want to stay or have family members with them, please give them enough money to leave with their families and find a new place to live. If they are alone, ask them if they are willing to come with us."

Shen Yeshu nodded, "Young master, please rest assured, I understand."

"Alright," Wu Cheng said, "Let's go to Luoyang Prefecture right away."

Time waits for no one. The matter of the Prince Yu's residence can only be kept secret for a while; it won't be long before the news gets out.

Moreover, Bai Suying is still on her way, so we must resolve the issue and escape as soon as possible.

Soon the group split into two groups: the people from the Extinction Path stayed behind to deal with the problems of the maids and servants in the Prince Yu's mansion, while Wu Cheng and the others rushed to Luoyang Prefecture.

Upon arriving at the back gate of Luoyang Prefecture, the guards had already been dismissed, and Yuan Congwen, who had been waiting there, quietly opened the back gate and let everyone in.

Upon seeing Wu Cheng, he immediately asked, "Your Highness, how is it?"

Wu Cheng patted him on the shoulder, "Please accept my condolences."

Yuan Congwen was taken aback, then revealed a smile that was more like a grimace, "In that case... Father has gotten what he asked for."

""

Wu Cheng asked in confusion, "Young Master Yuan, you don't seem that upset?"

"Firstly, I was already mentally prepared; secondly..."

'

Yuan Congwen gritted his teeth and said, "I searched the cellar as you instructed, and there... there were indeed many children who had suffered greatly. My father deserves to die..."

'

Wu Cheng could understand his inner conflict.

For a young master who had been raised with classical Chinese texts and whose father never exposed him to the darker side of life, the scene in the cellar was a tremendous shock to his values.

Even if the book says to be filial to one's parents, after seeing that scene, he would inevitably choose to put the greater good before family.

"I didn't dare touch the children in the cellar, nor did I disturb anyone else. I'm entrusting them to you all!"

Wu Cheng nodded, turned around and gave an order. Shen Tu Lie immediately led his men down into the cellar, and soon Shen Tu Lie's cursing voice could be heard from inside.

Wu Cheng and his companions had already followed Yuan Congwen to the treasury of Luoyang Prefecture. Wu Cheng quickly found the sandalwood box and the list of officials recorded by Yuan Hao.

After handing everything over to Qingque for safekeeping, he asked, "Young Master Yuan, would you like to keep some of this gold and silver jewelry?"

"No, thank you." Yuan Congwen shook his head. "After burying my father in a few days, I plan to return to the Wentian Sect. As for this money... I ask Your Highness to take good care of those children. It can be considered as atonement for the Yuan family's sins, even if it's not even a fraction of what they deserve."

Don't worry.

After the people from the Extinction Path emptied the treasury, Wu Cheng patted Yuan Congwen on the shoulder and said, "Young Master Yuan, the journey of the martial world is long, and we will meet again someday."

Yuan Congwen clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Your Highness, take care. We will surely meet again someday!"

Wu Cheng nodded, then waved his hand, "Retreat!"

We've already wasted enough time; we can't stay any longer.

At this time, the Prince Yu's mansion was still brightly lit, and those outside were probably unaware of the changes that had taken place inside, so everything on the street remained normal.

Under the cover of Yuan Congwen, the only son of the magistrate of Luoyang, Wu Cheng and his group successfully left the city and arrived at the Yihe Wharf.

As night mist rises over the Yi River ferry crossing, boats are ready at the dock, and boatmen wait on the shore with bamboo poles.

The children were carried onto the boat one by one, clutching the malt candy given to them by the members of the Extinction Path and the Burial Path.

After all the gold and silver treasures were loaded onto several boats, a white shadow suddenly swept across the ridge on the opposite bank of the river!

The white figure stepped across the night mist on the surface of the Yi River, leaving a straight white line in the thin fog as it headed straight for the dock!

Fei Yuan tilted her head slightly and stood still.

Shen Yeshu and Qingque attacked simultaneously!

Zzzzz!

A sword rang out, accompanied by the ear-piercing noise of metal clashing, and the three figures—white, green, and black—suddenly separated.

Qingque and Shen Yeshu retreated to Wu Cheng's left and right sides, while the white figure floated away like a cloud and retreated three zhang away.

This person was none other than Bai Suyi!

But at this moment, her white clothes were fluttering, and she held a long sword in her hand. Her pretty face no longer showed the usual nonchalance, but instead showed excitement and surprise.

Ignoring her disheveled hair and the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, she walked towards Wu Chengjiu, completely disregarding the presence of Qingque, Shen Yeshu, and even Feiyuan.

Or rather, at this moment, she only had eyes for Wu Cheng!

Qingque and Shen Yeshu once again stepped in to block them.

Bai Suying's expression twisted in pain as she instantly unleashed a three-foot sword domain, shouting, "Get out of my way!"

Qingque's pupils contracted slightly, and she quickly retreated in front of Wu Cheng, drawing her sword in preparation.

Shen Yeshu, without changing his expression, lunged forward, then with a flick of his sleeve, he whipped up a water dragon several feet long and one foot wide from the Yi River and rushed into the sword domain.

Although the water dragon was instantly shattered by the sword domain, the sword domain itself lost its power and was dissipated by Shen Yeshu's long sleeves.

Shen Yeshu and Bai Suyi faced each other, standing a zhang apart. Shen Yeshu looked at Bai Suyi with a smile, while Bai Suyi stared intently at Wu Cheng.
