When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

"Ankang, what realm are you at? So powerful!" Jiang Song asked curiously while searching for useful things on the fifteen corpses.

"Young Madam, I am in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul." Xie Ankang answered truthfully.

"Middle Nascent Soul stage?" Jiang Song looked up at him in shock. "You're already a Nascent Soul cultivator at such a young age?"

No wonder it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables to deal with the remnants of the Shen family. She originally thought that Xie Ankang was only a Jindan stage cultivator, but she didn't expect that he was actually in the Yuanying stage!

"It's nothing."

In their Tianyan Sect, there are so many geniuses that his level of cultivation is nothing.

Jiang Song glanced at him and was secretly shocked.

If the Nascent Soul Stage was nothing, then wouldn't she, a rookie in the Foundation Establishment Stage, be even more unbearable?

She stopped talking and quickly looted the corpses.

After all, the Shen family was once a prominent family with a profound heritage. These remnants of the Shen family more or less carried some magic weapons and elixirs.

Although the quality is not high, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is. For Jiang Song now, these are all precious resources.

Soon, she found some useful things, such as spirit stones, elixirs, talismans, magic tools, etc.

"Ankang, I'll search for these things first. When the time comes, I'll calculate the quantity and sell them for spirit stones. We'll split the profits fifty-fifty."

"Young Madam, keep these things for yourself. I don't want them."

"No, we agreed on a 50-50 split. I can't take advantage of you."

"Okay, everything is up to the young lady."

Jiang Song looked at him with satisfaction. Although this guy was a little dull sometimes, he was obedient and sensible, so he was still very good.

She was in a good mood. After putting the last magic weapon into the storage bag, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's go to the abandoned charity cemetery in the south of the city."

Xie Ankang naturally had no objection, and the two of them immediately flew on their swords to the abandoned charity cemetery in the south of the city.

The charity cemetery is located in a remote place in the south of the city. It is deserted and has only a few lonely graves and dilapidated houses.

This was originally a place in the capital to store unclaimed bodies, but was later abandoned for various reasons.

Now the place is overgrown with weeds and in a dilapidated state. From time to time, the crows' cries can be heard, making it seem even more eerie and desolate.

Jiang Song and Xie Ankang landed outside the charity cemetery and saw that the door was closed and sealed.

"There is indeed something strange here." Jiang Song looked at the closed door, a gleam in his eyes.

She took a step forward and was about to push the door open, but was stopped by Xie Ankang, "Wait a minute, Madam. Let me come."

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and gently pushed the door, and the seemingly sturdy door opened.

The two walked into the charity cemetery and saw that it was in a dilapidated state, with dust and cobwebs everywhere.

In the center were rows of dilapidated coffins, some of whose lids had been opened, revealing the white bones inside.

The entire charity cemetery was filled with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, as if a ghost would jump out from the darkness at any time.

But Jiang Song and Xie Ankang are both practitioners, so they will naturally not be frightened by these things.

They carefully checked every coffin and corner, looking for possible hiding remnants of the Shen family.

Soon, they discovered the clues.

Behind the last row of coffins, there was an inconspicuous little door covered with dust and cobwebs. It was obvious that no one had opened it for a long time.

But Jiang Song keenly noticed that there seemed to be a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from behind the door.

"This is it." She said and was about to push the door open.

Xie Ankang stopped her again, "Young Madam, let me go first." As he said that, he walked forward and carefully pushed open the door.

Behind the door was a dark passage, with dim night pearls inlaid on the walls on both sides, barely illuminating the way ahead.

After they walked forward along the passage for a distance, a spacious basement suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Bang bang!"

"Bang bang!"

Two strong men were using their spiritual power to dig at the wall, while the other two were sitting cross-legged on the side regulating their breathing. It seemed that they were taking turns working.

This place is not far from the south city gate. It looks like they want to wait for the remnants in the Shen residence to massacre the Xie family, and then they will break through the city wall and escape from here.

What a good plan!

However, now they have fallen into the hands of her and Xie Ankang, and are destined to not escape.

Jiang Song gave Xie Ankang a wink, and Xie Ankang immediately understood. The two of them approached the four people quietly, one on the left and one on the right.

The four men were concentrating on digging the wall and had no idea that danger was approaching.

It was not until Jiang Song and Xie Ankang took action that they realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

"what--"

With a scream, one of the strong men was hit in the heart by Xie Ankang's hook lock and died on the spot.

The other strong man was fixed by Jiang Song with a talisman and could not move.

Seeing this, the remaining two strong men were shocked and drew their weapons to attack Jiang Song and Xie Ankang.

But how could they be a match for Jiang Song and Xie Ankang?

Soon, the two strong men were also taken care of, and only Jiang Song and Xie Ankang were left standing in the basement.

"Young Madam, are you okay?" Xie Ankang asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Jiang Song shook his head. "These remnants of the Shen family are really cunning. They actually hid here."

As she spoke, she walked to the excavated wall and touched the marks made by spiritual power with her hand.

Although this stone wall is not too thick, it is more than ten feet wide. It will probably take a long time for these remnants of the Shen family to break through the wall and escape.

Moreover, even if they really escaped, there was a city defense formation and soldiers guarding the city outside, and it would be extremely difficult for them to escape from the imperial capital.

Unless... unless the general in charge of the city's defense was also bribed by them!

Jiang Song was shocked, and once this idea came to his mind, he couldn't stop it.

I'm afraid that Xie Jiazhen is related to that Tian Yantu, and this matter has already involved all the major forces in the imperial capital, and even the royal family may be involved.

The water is getting deeper and deeper!

Jiang Song took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart.

The most important thing now is to catch all the remnants of the Shen family first, and then slowly investigate the truth behind it.

Jiang Song turned and looked at the burly man who was immobilized. "Tell me, besides the four of you, is there anyone else from your Shen family hiding here?"

The burly man stared at her with eyes wide open, his eyes full of fear and anger, but he refused to speak.

"Don't want to say it?" Jiang Song raised his eyebrows slightly. "It doesn't matter. I have plenty of ways to make you speak."

As she spoke, she took out a pitch-black pill from her storage bag. "This is the Heart-Eating Pill. After you take it, your heart will feel as if it's being gnawed by thousands of insects and ants, causing unbearable pain."

The sturdy man's face turned extremely pale when he heard this. He said with trembling lips: "I, I say..."

There was no such thing as a Heart-Eating Pill, it was just a bluff. But it was obvious that the strong man was scared out of his wits, and he spilled everything he knew.

This is also good, and it saves a truth pill.
