Things took a dramatic turn.

After Sister Qiao returned, she discussed the matter with the other two members of the Immortal Friends Association.

Then, they found Senior Sister Lan and Senior Sister Bai and learned more about it.

Lu Xunhuan had already taught these two senior sisters how to speak.

Therefore, what both of them said was that the leader of Dengtian Sect killed the leader of Wuji Sect, and they saw it with their own eyes.

After the three of them questioned the two senior sisters, they immediately interrogated Ji An and Senior Brother Hao.

Both of them were already feeling guilty.

After all, Ji An had received orders before to use the name of a martial arts competition as a cover to take the opportunity to eliminate Lu Xunhuan.

Senior Brother Hao led everyone to testify that it was Lu Xunhuan who killed the leader of the Wuji Sect, entirely at the instigation of the leader of the Dengtian Sect, and they did not see it with their own eyes at all.

Under torture, the two men had no choice but to confess everything.

The accusation that Lu Xunhuan murdered someone was proven to be a deliberate frame-up.

On the other hand, the leader of Dengtian Sect killed the leader of Wuji Sect, but he was very sure of it.

So the case was quickly settled.

The three members of the Immortal Friends Association rushed to Mangrove Cliff and executed the leader of Dengtian Sect on the spot without allowing him to explain.

Also punished at the same time were Ji'an and Senior Brother Hao.

Both of them had their immortal powers destroyed and were expelled from the immortal world.

After the three men closed the case, they released Lu Xunhuan, and kindly took the coffin of the leader of the Wuji Sect. They asked several disciples of the Dengtian Sect for help and personally delivered it to the Wuji Sect.

After Lu Xunhuan sent everyone out of the mountain gate, he hurried back to Mangrove Cliff to look for his master's wife.

After the three members of the Immortal Friends Association came down the mountain, the man in his forties pulled Sister Qiao aside and said, "Share what you've gained."

Sister Qiao shook her head and said, "You didn't take a penny of the benefits. When I get back, I'll ask my father for a thousand silver coins to give to you."

The man in his forties was quite surprised: "What? You didn't take a penny, you..."

He seemed to understand: "If you are lonely and empty, you can come to me. There is no need to suffer such a big loss, right?"

Sister Qiao waved her hand and slapped him. "I'm happy to do that. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I told you I'll go back and ask my dad for 1,000 taels. Do you want it or not? If not, forget it."

The man in his forties covered his face and said, "Yes, it would be a waste if you don't want it."

Sister Qiao took a few steps and turned back: "I warn you, don't bother him in the future."

The man in his forties snorted, "Hmph, I don't know what's so good about him. The mountains are high and the roads are long. When can you come over? If you want to keep a mistress, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to keep her in Zhongzhou City?"

Sister Qiao glared and said, "You still want to get beaten, right? It's none of your business whether it's far or not. I'm happy to do it."

But after Lu Xunhuan turned around, he called Senior Sister Lan and headed straight for Mangrove Cliff.

Outside the cave, the body of the leader of Dengtian Sect was still there, and no one came to clean it up.

The two senior sisters who were guarding here before were probably frightened and ran away without a trace.

Lu Xunhuan took a quick look at the master's body and hurried into the cave.

He called out loudly: "Master's Wife...Master's Wife..."

Senior Sister Lan followed closely behind him and said with a hint of jealousy, "I heard that you and Master's Wife...are you really together?"

Lu Xun Huan ran to the first room and pushed the door open. "Master's wife and I are innocent. Don't talk nonsense."

Senior Sister Lan curled her lips and said, "Then why are you so worried about her?"

The door was pushed open, and the room was empty, with no sign of the master's wife.

Lu Xun Huan hurried to the second room again: "I was buried. If Master's Wife hadn't dug me out, how could I have survived?"

Senior Sister Lan exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, so that's how it is?"

She then asked, "How does she know you're not dead?"

Lu Xun Huan had already hurried to the second room and pushed the door open. "She knew the Sect Leader was plotting to kill me. It's not that she knew I was still alive, but she felt sorry for me, so she dug me out."

Senior Sister Lan said "Oh" again: "Maybe she didn't expect to dig you out. You actually survived, it's a miracle."

The second room was still empty, so Lu Xunhuan hurried to the third room.

Senior Sister Lan trotted after him and said, "Thank you so much, Master's Wife. Thank you so much, Master's Wife!"

The two walked along the cave all the way into the seventh room.

After Lu Xunhuan pushed open the door, his head buzzed as if it had exploded.

Inside the room, there was a naked woman, covered in wounds, crawling on the ground.

The long black hair covered her head and face, and he didn't know if it was her master's wife.

He quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and gently brushed away her long hair with his fingers...

A red and purple face, swollen and severely deformed.

He asked Senior Sister Lan, "Is it Master's Wife?"

Senior Sister Lan had probably never seen such a tragic scene. She covered her mouth with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes.

She shook her head and said, "I can't see it, but who else could it be if not her?"

Lu Xunhuan reached back, held the scarred hand, and touched the pulse.

However, he could no longer detect any pulse.

Senior Sister Lan continued, "It is said that Master's Wife has a red mole on her abdomen..."

Lu Xunhuan put down his scarred hand and turned the body over. During the turning process, he discovered that the body had multiple fractures.

After the body was turned over, Senior Sister Lan screamed, covered her mouth and ran away, crying loudly outside the room.

The body was a bloody mess, covered with knife wounds. Both breasts had been cut off, leaving two bowl-sized scars.

The abdomen was ripped open and there was a lot of dried blood on the wound.

Lu Xunhuan didn't want to see any red mole, but no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. The knife wound destroyed a lot of skin tissue, but the red mole was still intact.

He held back his tears, took off his coat and gently covered the body.

Then, he thoroughly cleaned the long hair on the body's face, revealing the complete face.

If this isn’t Master’s Wife, then who is it?

Although it is severely deformed, it can still be roughly seen.

He hadn't expected that the few quick words he exchanged with his master's wife on the hilltop that night would actually be their farewell forever.

Judging from the color of the bloodstains, it had been several days since Master's Wife passed away.

That damn old man actually killed my master's wife in such a cruel way.

He shouted, "Someone come!"

Senior Sister Lan wiped her tears and ran in: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xun Huan ordered, "Go and call some people, some men and some women. The men will drag the old man's body out and whip it, torture it to death, grind it into powder, and scatter its ashes. The women will gather up the body of Master's Wife and prepare a grand funeral. On the day of the funeral, all disciples will wear mourning clothes."

Five days later, a fine coffin was used for a grand burial in the pit where Lu Xunhuan was originally buried.

All the disciples of the sect came to the funeral in mourning clothes, and the crying was deafening.

Lu Xunhuan wrote an obituary and read it with tears in his eyes.

Then, they buried the soil, built the grave, erected the tombstone, burned paper, burned incense, and offered sacrifices.

Among the offerings, there was a special thing, the old man's heart.

Lu Xunhuan had it dug up and brought here to pay tribute to the spirit of his master's wife in heaven.

When everything was over, it was already dark and Li Potian returned to the hall.

A disciple came to ask, "Master, what should we do with that old man's body? We can't just leave it hanging there forever. It'll scare everyone to sleep at night."

Lu Xun Huan ordered, "Burn them, grind the bones and scatter the ashes."

The disciple bowed and said, "Yes."

Lu Xun Huan stopped him and said, "Wait, go tell everyone that anyone who doesn't obey me, Lu Xun Huan, can come to me and get ten taels of silver for travel expenses and leave on their own. Go ahead."
