The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

An Qingwan asked, "Do you know who the murderer and arsonist is?"

Guan Wuji shook his head: "I don't know. For the past twenty years, the other six members of the Seven Heroes of Taihang have never given up their investigation, but they have not found any useful evidence."

An Qingwan said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Although there is still no direct evidence, the information that Guan Wuji found out is very close to Sikong Tingxue's own recollection.

Sikong Tingxue is most likely Yan Shizheng's daughter.

The daughter of a great hero has now been tricked by a demonic sect member and become a demonic demoness. How can such an experience not evoke sighs of emotion?

Guan Wuji said, "Serving the Master is not hard work. By the way, Master, I have sent out the body of Yue Shangren. The body was taken away by the Prince of Huaiyang. The Prince of Huaiyang said that he will parade Yue Shangren's body through the streets tomorrow."

Prince of Huaiyang?

An Qingwan remembered that she had met this person when she was disguised as a special envoy of the Great Guang Army at Gao Chengzhi's residence.

This person has a violent temper.

Even when facing her directly, the special envoy of the Great Guang Dynasty, he showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he loudly denounced Gao Chengzhi for colluding with the Great Guang Dynasty, saying it was a disgrace to their ancestors.

"Since I'll be free tomorrow anyway, I might as well go take a look."

Day two.

Despite the commotion of the previous two days, the capital of Daliang remained bustling.

The reason was that early in the morning, the imperial court sent people to parade a corpse through the streets, and this corpse was said to be Yue Shangren of the Yin Yang Sect, one of the four major sects of the Demonic Path.

This gimmick attracted a huge crowd.

An Qingwan originally just wanted to join in the fun, but when she passed by Qixiamen Street, she suddenly felt a very familiar aura.

“Sikong…no, this is not Sikong Tingxue.”

This aura was much calmer, more profound, and colder than that of Sikong Tingxue!

"This person practices the same internal energy as Sikong Tingxue. In the current Yinji Sect, the only person who practices the same internal energy as Sikong Tingxue and is even more powerful than her is that person."

The current sect leader of the Yin-Yang Sect is the Flower Master Xu Ruogu!

An Qingwan's expression remained unchanged, but her senses had already locked onto a person standing by the window on the second floor of a restaurant.

"How did she end up here? Shouldn't she be at the Yin Yang Sect right now?"

An Qingwan was deeply puzzled.

Because she didn't understand, she didn't rush to attack Xu Ruogu.

She still remembered what Xia Chongxuan had said: the old sect master of the Yinji Sect was not dead, and he was a grandmaster. If he was also hiding in the shadows, that would be troublesome.

An Qingwan condensed her voice into a thread and said to Lan Xiaogu, "Miss Lan, go find Miss Sikong immediately and ask her to come here."

Lan Xiaogu asked in surprise, "What happened?"

An Qingwan said, "It's not convenient to talk about it now. You should go find her first."

Lan Xiaogu asked, "Then where should I look for you later?"

An Qingwan said, "Give me a Mandarin Duck Gu, and then you can let the Mandarin Duck Gu lead the way."

Lan Xiaogu nodded hastily.

After placing the Gu worm in An Qingwan's palm, she lightly touched her foot and darted into the narrow alley like a shadow.

An Qingwan just stood there.

Xu Ruogu remained still, and so did she.

She was trying to figure out what Xu Ruogu was thinking.

Xu Ruogu had a grudge against Yue Shangren. Logically speaking, she should be happy to see Yue Shangren dead. However, Yue Shangren was a master of the Yinji Sect. As the sect leader of the Yinji Sect, could she really laugh?

Even after the imperial officials pushed Yue Shangren's body away on Qixiamen Street, Xu Ruogu still did not leave.

She stood there for a full quarter of an hour before finally making a new move.

It turned out someone had come from behind.

"Master Xu."

Xu Ruogu asked coldly, "How did your master, Meng Songnian, die?"

The people who entered the room shook their heads in fear: "Uncle-Master Xu, we don't know. The night before last, Master said he was going to the palace to get the Ascension Elixir. Who would have thought that he would never come back? Afterwards, we only heard people say that he died at the hands of Xia Chongxuan of the Heavenly Sect."

Xu Ruogu asked, "Black Fiend Xia Chongxuan?"

One person said, "That's what the man shouted when he was about to kill."

As they spoke, everyone in the room except Xu Ruogu knelt down, trembling as they said:

"Uncle-Master Xu, now that Master is gone, we have nowhere else to go. We only beg you to forgive us and take us in!"

Xu Ruogu said, "Get up, take me to see the results of Meng Songnian's efforts over the years."

The group dared not delay and quickly led the way.

Not long after they left, Lan Xiaogu brought Sikong Tingxue over.

Sikong Tingxue was originally studying the "Withered Wood Classic" and the "Extreme Yin Transformation into Yang Calming Method" when she was unexpectedly summoned.

"What happened?"

An Qingwan said, "Your master has arrived."

Sikong Tingxue's expression immediately changed.

She was using An Qingwan to get her to help eliminate enemies like Feng Shangren, not to have An Qingwan deal with her master as well.

"you……"

An Qingwan asked, "Does Miss Sikong remember who her parents are?"

Sikong Tingxue said, "Let's not talk about that kind of thing."

An Qingwan asked, "Why can't we mention it?"

Sikong Tingxue said coldly, "Their identities aren't exactly honorable anyway, so why bring them up again?"

An Qingwan sighed, "Did your master tell you their identities?"

Sikong Tingxue said, "Of course."

An Qingwan asked, "Does Miss Sikong still remember her parents?"

Sikong Tingxue shook her head.

She didn't remember anything; she only remembered the fire, the bright red fire.

An Qingwan said, "If there were a door in front of you, and you only had to take one step forward, you could know what kind of people your parents were and the truth about that fire back then. But the truth is very heavy. Would Miss Sikong choose to move forward or backward?"

Sikong Tingxue never imagined that An Qingwan had called her here to say these things.

Her heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition arose.

"Are you sure you're not joking with me?"

An Qingwan said, "I rarely joke."

Sikong Tingxue fell silent.

Forward? Or backward?

“I will move forward,” she said.

An Qingwan said, "Even if the truth is so heavy that it makes people want to die?"

Sikong Tingxue said, "I've waited for almost twenty years. I just want to say goodbye to that nightmare forever."

An Qing nodded: "I understand your feelings."

She reached out and grasped Sikong Tingxue's right hand, which was twisted from being burned by the fire, and wrapped it in her own palm.

"I will now take you through that door of truth."

This wasn't the first time Sikong Tingxue had held An Qingwan's hand, but it was the first time she had felt that An Qingwan's hand was warm.

As mentioned earlier, the Purple Extreme Demon Art has a huge flaw: the conflict between the Life Pill and the Qi Pill is unsolvable, and every once in a while, one will fall into great pain. Therefore, after obtaining this martial art, An Qingwan did not intend to let Lan Xiaogu and the others practice it. On the contrary, the Longevity Book does not have this flaw. As long as one cultivates the Longevity True Qi and then the Yin and Yang are in harmony, there is a chance to become a Grandmaster.

Moreover, the Life Pill + Qi Pill, like the Ascension Elixir, cannot directly elevate a person to the Grandmaster level. This is because the Grandmaster level is a realm that cannot be reached simply by having enough internal energy. In the current setting, there are only about twenty Grandmasters alive in the entire world. People like Garuda King and Dao Lord are already quite old, especially Dao Lord, who is over a hundred years old.

125, so you're already a Grandmaster? [4k]

No one would have guessed that the top jewelry merchant in the capital was actually Meng Songnian, the Moon God of the Yin Sect.

Those nobles, officials, and military men in the capital who received substantial funding from Meng Songnian were unaware of this.

Even Xu Ruogu, the sect leader of the Yin Yin Sect, who was also in the Yin Yin Sect, did not know.

at dusk.

Xu Ruogu walked through Meng Songnian's home in the capital.

The pavilions, terraces, artificial hills, and artificial water features that met the eye filled Xu Ruogu with emotion.

"He's been living a carefree life all these years. He's amassed a huge fortune, made countless friends, and even slept with the Empress Dowager. How many people in this world can live as freely as him?"

"Unfortunately, he insisted on getting involved with imperial power, showing no awareness of his own capabilities. To seize the world, one does not necessarily need unparalleled divine skills, but one must have unparalleled personal charisma. A villain like him, hiding in the shadows and only knowing how to scheme and plot, may gain the throne, but he will only enjoy temporary pleasure and will eventually perish."

Xu Ruogu stood before a Buddha statue made of pure gold by Meng Songnian, a mocking expression on his face.

The disciples of Yue Shangren following behind her saw their master being belittled, but they dared not utter a single word of criticism and could only nod silently.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Now that the Moon God is dead, they have no other choice but to rely on Xu Ruogu.

They have too many enemies. If they don't find a reliable backer, they'll probably die a violent death in the streets before long.

Xu Ruogu lightly patted the golden Buddha: "Although Meng Songnian is unknown, he is still my junior brother and a member of the Yinji Sect. He died so ignominiously. How can I not try to avenge him?"

The disciple of the Moon God stammered, "But that person is Xia Chongxuan, the Black Fiend of the Heavenly Sect."

Xu Ruogu said, "Although the Celestial Venerable is mysterious and unpredictable, that doesn't matter. What we need to deal with is not the Celestial Venerable, but Xia Chongxuan. Besides..."

Besides what?

Xu Ruogu did not speak, and the disciples of Yue Shangren dared not ask.

Judging from Xu Ruogu's confidence, he must have some special backup plan.

Could it be that Xu Ruogu is already a grandmaster?

No, even if she became a Grandmaster, she wouldn't say she wasn't afraid of the Heavenly Venerable.

"You may leave now. I'd like to be alone here."

Xu Ruogu suddenly spoke, and the others had no choice but to step back.

The room became unusually quiet.

Xu Ruogu stared at the golden Buddha and suddenly sighed.

"Among Master's many disciples, whose martial arts are superior to mine, and whose seniority is greater than mine? It is only natural and destined for me to become the sect leader! Meng Songnian, you insisted on opposing me, and this is the end you deserve!"

With a flick of her finger, she shattered the golden Buddha into pieces.

Watching the gold nuggets roll off the table in front of him, Xu Ruogu couldn't help but laugh.

He laughed wildly, yet his laughter was somewhat distorted.

The passing of a loved one is naturally heartbreaking, but the sudden death of an enemy makes one want to drink and celebrate!

"At this moment, there should be wine!"

Just as they were talking, Xu Ruogu heard a clanging sound coming from the window.

She turned her head away, and before she knew it, the window that had been tightly closed was now open, and a person was sitting sideways on the window frame.

a woman.

A woman dressed in white clothes, white socks, and white boots.
