After the sword bone was taken away, the reborn elder sister went crazy killing

"That's true."

Ye Ruoxi pursed her lips, suddenly realizing she had forgotten something more important: "Oh right, we were just delayed by this disgusting thing. Let's go find that rat now. Can you still recognize it?"

Pei Zhiyi nodded. "I put something on him. Even if he changes his appearance again, I can still find him. But the problem now is that everyone has left in a rush. If he leaves the capital now, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"And I just have a suspicion, I'm not sure."

"Suspicion is also an important part of investigating a case." Ye Ruoxi was already very grateful to Pei Zhiyi. This matter didn't require her to put in much effort. "I said I would help you do this and that, but in the end, you were the one helping me do this and that."

"With our relationship, you still say so much, where are the friends you promised me?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Ye Ruoxi was somewhat relieved because she found that since Pei Zhiyi left Jian Xuetian, she seemed to have become completely different. In the past, she only thought about cultivation, either by herself or with Jian Xuetian and his group of ungrateful people. Everything she did was to become a better direct disciple.

But now, she has become more vivid.

She started to think about herself, take the initiative to contact friends, and do many things that she would never do before.

Even……

Ye Ruoxi suddenly laughed mysteriously, not knowing what she was thinking about. She looked at Pei Zhiyi with a teasing expression, "I heard that someone has been getting close to the Imperial Master recently."

"Is this weird?" Pei Zhiyi touched the back of his head, somewhat confused. "Why do you and my other friend...knowing that I'm close to him, both have the same expression?"

"It seems that your other friend and I have the same views." Ye Ruoxi hated Pei Zhiyi for being a blockhead, but she also thought that maybe she was not incapable of understanding, but was just unaware of it.

But... the national teacher is not a good person.

Ye Ruoxi decided not to say anything more. If they were really destined to be together, then everything would work out naturally.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's first conduct a small-scale search for that person." Ye Ruoxi's expression became serious. "The Human King takes this serial murder case in the capital very seriously. If we can't give him a satisfactory result, not only the Immortal Guard Division, but also many people involved will suffer."

"The Human King is so kind, yet he would actually implicate so many people because of this?"

"Zhiyi, you don't understand. No matter how kind or good a person is, they will always put themselves first when it comes to their own interests." Although Ye Ruoxi had only seen the Human King from afar, she seemed to have seen through many things when she saw that he allowed his children to fight with each other.

"I've heard that if the Human King wants to achieve enlightenment and ascend, he'll need numerous merits to support it. The Gods place great importance on this, which is why the Human King has never made a mistake in all these years. If this series of murders prevents him from achieving his goal... think about it. If it were you, and all your years of hard work were to fall through, what would you do?"

"Not to mention the superiors, even we might find it hard to let go."

Perhaps it was just as Xuanzu said back then, she had to go through so much because she blocked the way of Jian Xuetian.

"So." Ye Ruoxi put her arm around Pei Zhiyi's shoulders, "You have to help me this time, otherwise I'll lose my life here."

"I won't let anything happen to you."

Pei Zhiyi's eyes were serious and firm, which made Ye Ruoxi, who was half joking, feel a little at a loss. In the end, she could only respond with an "OK".

After the two of them finished speaking, they immediately began to track the traces Pei Zhiyi left on the man.

"If there really is something wrong with him, then he wouldn't be able to leave the capital so soon. He would at least wait until there are no more troubles left."

"Zhiyi, what you mean is that he is probably preparing to wipe out the entire family."

Pei Zhiyi stopped and asked, "Where did you lock up that Mo Xu?"

Ye Ruoxi quickly came back to her senses and said, "Follow me."

This side of the dungeon

"Keep an eye on the person. If anything happens, you will be responsible for the consequences."

"Yes!"

Mo Xu was imprisoned separately from several other people. He didn't know if they thought too highly of him that they kept such close watch on him.

"Mo Xu."

The sudden appearance of the mysterious man made Mo Xu's eyes light up.

"Sir, sir, you came to see me, are you going to rescue me?"

Mo Xu hugged the man's legs with an obsessed look on his face, as if he had been bewitched.

The man looked at Mo Xu coldly, "I'm very satisfied with you today. You didn't tell anyone about our relationship."

"You have saved Mo Xu's life, and Mo Xu will never betray you."

After hearing Mo Xu's words of loyalty, the man couldn't say how satisfied he was, but his tone was much better than at the beginning. "Since you said I have saved your life, does that mean you will do whatever I ask you to do?"

"Yes!" Mo Xu's face was full of determination, "I am willing to give everything for you, sir!"

"Does that include letting you die now?"

When the man said this, his tone was light and casual, as if he was asking a friend if he had eaten today.

"...die?" Mo Xu hesitated. He could do anything, but if he died, his life would be gone, and all his efforts over the years would turn into smoke...

"Sir, I can give everything for you, but I also cherish my life."

The man directly grabbed Mo Xu's neck and used some force.

"Just now you said you were willing to do anything for me, but now I'm just asking you to die, and you're not willing to do that anymore?"

"Sir... I... I really want to live." The veins on Mo Xu's neck bulged, and he couldn't speak because he was almost suffocating.

"Want to live?" The man sneered. "I want to live too, but as long as you're still alive, my life is in danger at any time. So, I have no choice but to sacrifice you. After all, I've given you a second life, so I'm just asking you to give your life back to me. Isn't that too much?"

"Sir...sir..."

Why aren’t you dead yet?

The man was getting impatient, and he directly conjured up a dagger and stabbed it into Mo Xu's heart.

Blood gushed out and splashed on the man's face.

"If you want to blame someone, blame your own bad luck. How did you get caught?"

The man thrust the dagger a little deeper, and as if that was not enough pleasure, he twisted the dagger a few more times in his flesh. Seeing him staring with eyes wide open in agony, he was very satisfied.

"Your Excellency will always remember your sacrifice. You did not die in vain."

The man wanted to laugh, but he also knew what the occasion was and he had to leave quickly.

"Want to run?"

Pei Zhiyi arrived in time. Her sword was so fast that it flew out and nailed the man to the wall.
