In the boundless night, several black shadows appeared.

In the shade of the trees, stood a woman.

The visitor knelt down on one knee, "Master, only eight people were caught. The Zhang family sent more guards."

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xinxi raised the sword in his hand, and a sinister face was reflected on the sword.

I hope Yue Xianyun can really do what he says, otherwise...

"Go and catch casual cultivators."

Before the voice landed, the person had jumped out of the wall, followed by several figures, and at the first turning point away from the Zhang family, more than a dozen black figures appeared again.

The weaker casual cultivators are all in the northernmost part of Yecheng.

Zhang Xinxi put on the black cloth around her neck, covering most of her face, only revealing a pair of eyes.

The hand holding the sword is raised, and the blade is slightly tilted forward.

The whole person is like an arrow flying from the string, and dozens of figures follow closely behind.

Countless horrified screams resounded from the quiet and peaceful northern edge of Ye City.

Qu Zhao woke up in a daze, and the roar outside made his heart skip a beat.

"Qu Zhao, run—"

A loud cry woke her up completely.

Qu Zhao got up and walked towards the door, but before he opened the door, a stream of blood splashed on the door paper.

Qu Zhao shrank his pupils sharply, covered his mouth with one hand, turned around and opened the window, and hurriedly climbed up.

Behind their house is a lake.

"Bam—"

The door was kicked open forcefully from the outside, leaving the room empty.

Zhang Xinxi pushed open the window and took a look. The small lake in the distance was sparkling. She sneered and turned to the next house without hesitation.

They didn't come to silence, there's no need to chase someone dead.

The goals of the dozen or so men in black were very clear, and those who attacked were all low-strength people.

The stronger man slightly opened the door, only to see the man in black knocking people out and maiming them, and beheading all those who strongly resisted.

Everything happened very quickly, less than an hour.

In less than an hour, there were more than a dozen empty nests.

When everything returned to calm, people from the dark came out one after another.

Standing outside the house and looking in, some saw blood, some just knocked over things, it was a mess, and there was no trace of popularity anymore.

A few bubbles appeared on the calm lake, and then a head poked out.

There was silence all around.

Qu Zhao got up from the water, stumbled and ran towards the house, his whole body was soaked, there were drops of water on his face, and his eyes were moist.

The thin woman lay her hands on the edge of the window and looked in. She stretched her arms for three breaths, and finally relaxed. She slipped and fell to the bottom of the wall.

The window was facing the door, and the person lying in a pool of blood could be clearly seen outside the door. The blood was stained and the body was cold.

The girl buried her head and knelt on the ground, her wet black hair clinging to the side of her face, her low sobs gradually expanded, and finally turned into loud cries, tears dripping down with the lake water.

That year, Qu Zhao was 14 years old.

…………

Shen Yu locked herself in the room, either practicing cultivation or alchemy.

Except for an acupuncture treatment for Zhang Yizhou, she hadn't been out of the yard for four months.

Zhang Xinxi had given her the news a month ago, saying that they had gathered all the people.

But Shen Yu ignored it, as her medicine hadn't been researched yet.

After about two months, Shen Yu left the yard and handed all the pills that had been refined to Zhang Cheng.

There was also Ke Ruxuan's medicine, Shen Yu didn't forget it and gave it to Zhang Yizhou directly.

She never saw Zhang Yizhou again after that, maybe she went to Youcheng?

Shen Yu didn't care, and didn't want to inquire.

"Besides Zhang Suye, who else is the murderer?"

Shen Yu raised her eyes, but Zhang Cheng didn't look at her, not guessing, his tone was very certain.

"Xianyun doesn't know, why don't the Patriarch ask Miss Zhang Suye?"

Zhang Cheng's eyes fell on her.

After a while, he said tiredly: "Zhang Suye is missing, please pay attention."

Shen Yu saw his powerlessness and helplessness.

The backyard was in such a mess, the eldest lady was at odds with him, and the second lady was also fighting with him. Zhang Xinxi was not innocent, and Zhang Yizhou was also disappointed in him.

It's a failure for the Patriarch to act like this.

However, Shen Yu wouldn't compare his heart to him, and he still had to add what should be added.

"Patriarch, Rong Xianyun is talkative, Li Yichen, when can I come back?"

When Zhang Cheng heard it, his head became even more dizzy, and he replied coldly "I don't know" and wanted to send her away.

Seeing his impatient and helpless look, Shen Yu was in a very good mood.

Zhang Cheng has bothered her a lot recently.

As the head of the family, he has headaches all day long. This Yue Xianyun is like a heartless person, smiling every time, afraid that others will not know if she is in a good mood?

Shen Yu knew that men were not good things, especially such half-hearted men, so she hurried to leave before he got into trouble.

Zhang Cheng held his breath and couldn't get up or down.

Shen Yu didn't care about other people's moods.

When she is in a good mood, no one is allowed to spoil her good mood. When others are in a good mood, it depends on whether she is in a good mood.

Zhang Xinxi followed Shen Yu's instructions and kept an eye on Mu Xi for Shen Yu. She was quite peaceful these days, but she didn't know why she always went to the Artifact Pavilion.

Shen Yu frowned and thought for a moment, then she didn't care. Compared to this, she cared more about her medicine.

Following the original route to the temple, Zhang Xinxi happened to be guarding outside.

Shen Yu glanced at her and went straight down to the dungeon without saying a word.

The gatekeepers were very respectful when they saw her.

"Want to know?"

Zhang Xinxi raised her eyes, and the woman looked at her with a half-smile, with unclear meaning in her eyes, she struggled for a moment, and then retreated.

Some things are better known less.

Shen Yu snorted coldly, squeezed the medicine bottle as it was, and mixed it into the water.

A new cage has been replaced, and the people inside are very quiet. Most of them have bruised noses and swollen faces, and they must have been severely beaten.

The most important thing is that no one has dealt with the blood in the basement, and the stench mixed with an unknown fragrance stimulated people's nerves.

Clearly, a massacre took place here.

"drink--"

The woman's cold voice made everyone tremble, and they even crawled to pick up the water on the ground and drank it. They didn't even taste the taste, only the mellow fragrance left in their mouths.

After everyone finished drinking, not only was there nothing unusual, they even felt that their wounds did not hurt, and they felt much more relaxed, as if years of shackles had fallen off.

Seeing them secretly glance at the wooden bucket still filled with green water, Shen Yu was quite satisfied, and went out to close the door.

Zhang Xinxi restrained herself not to look back, holding back her curiosity.

The woman's oppressive eyes made her dare not make any other moves.

"If you want to live a long time, take care of yourself." It was rare for Shen Yu to say anything more.

There are many places where this person is useful.

Zhang Xinxi didn't respond, but followed behind with her head down.

She can bear it, as long as the result is good, it doesn't matter what the process is.

Shen Yu didn't let Zhang Xinxi go to the black market, but let her meet outside.

She's going to test the waters.

After all, what happens next may affect the interests of the upper echelons of the black market.
