That year, she and her senior brother depended on each other for survival and entered the Kongtong Sect together. Unexpectedly, she caught the eye of Zi Jian because of her appearance.

On their wedding night, her senior brother was killed and she was defiled. In the vast Kongtong Sect, there was nowhere to seek justice. She had to feign ignorance and take advantage of Zi Jian's stupidity and the opinions of the martial arts world to force the Five Elders of Kongtong to expel Zi Jian from the sect. However, Zi Jian's martial arts skills far surpassed hers, and she had been waiting for an opportunity.

Heaven has eyes; the remains of Rama gave her an opportunity. This kind of treasure is not something that the small Purple and Green Twin Swords can possess. The Purple Sword is as foolish as ever, unable to see its own strength.

Xi Yu was also moved upon hearing this. It was a pity for such a good girl. Zi Jian was truly a beast.

Qingjian slowly pulled the longsword out, letting the sharp blade rub against her flesh as she went. She didn't want Zijian to die so easily; she wanted him to suffer endless torment!

Once the sword was finally pulled out, blood gushed out instantly without any obstruction.

With a thud, Zi Jian collapsed into a pool of blood, his eyes filled with resentment and regret. It was unclear whether he was resentful for not recognizing Qing Jian's true nature, or regretful that his greed had led him to be drawn into the remains of Luo Mo.

Seeing that Zi Jian was no longer alive, Qing Jian gripped his longsword like a madman and hacked at Zi Jian's corpse again and again until the body was mangled and bloody. Only then did he calm down and coldly say to the two of them, "I have avenged my great grudge. You may make your move!"

"She's a pitiful person too, let's see her off in the drizzle."

Seeing Xi Yu holding her sword and remaining motionless for a long time, Shan Tianxie naturally guessed that Xi Yu had softened her heart. But to be honest, the real Qing Jian had long since died on that wedding night, and what remained was nothing more than a body filled with hatred.

Upon hearing this, Xi Yu silently thrust out her sword. Hua Wuqing offered no resistance, and the sword slit her throat, causing her blood to bloom like a cluster of flowers.

The Purple and Green Twin Swords, dead!

"Let's go, grab our things, it's time to head back."

After saying that, Shan Tianxie turned and left.

Xi Yu glanced at Hua Wuqing's corpse, sighed softly, picked up her things, and chased after Shan Tianxie.

........

The next day, at the Hua residence.

"What! The Purple and Green Twin Swords are dead? And Rama's remains have also vanished?"

Hua Ruling was also surprised when she heard the news.

Although the Purple and Green Twin Swords had not reached the Innate Realm, they were still top-tier experts who had opened their Ren Meridian, yet they died in the capital under mysterious circumstances.

The most important thing is that Rama's remains are missing. I had heard before that Rama's remains contained divine power, which was even capable of rebirth. So, it would be even easier for my son to see the light again.

So a reward of 100,000 taels of silver was offered, and soon the Purple and Green Twin Swords were taken, indicating that Rama's remains were in their hands. Unexpectedly, Rama died a violent death the night before the transaction, and Rama's remains disappeared.

"Go and invite Master Lu over. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

Hua Ruling turned and instructed the steward.

Before long, a handsome man dressed in purple with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes walked slowly over. The first thing that would catch anyone's eye when they saw him was his mustache. His mustache was as neat and beautiful as his eyebrows!

The newcomer was none other than the famous martial arts hero, Four-Eyebrowed Lu Xiaofeng!

"Senior Hua, I heard on my way here that the Purple and Green Twin Swords are dead. Judging from their injuries, they died at the hands of the former Black Stone assassin, Fine Rain. Even more interestingly, Black Stone's Wheel King was killed with a single punch a few days ago. Black Stone is finished!"

Lu Xiaofeng walked up and smiled, revealing all the information he had gathered.

"Whether Lou'er can regain her sight depends on the remains of Rama! I urge you, Master Lu, to investigate this matter. Whoever obtains Rama's remains, the Hua family will offer double the reward!"

As Hua Ruling spoke, she exuded an air of utter disdain for money. How could mere wealth compare to Hua Manlou regaining his sight?

"Don't worry, Senior Hua. I've already asked a good friend for help, and as expected, things are almost settled. I'm just about to go and meet up with him."

Lu Xiaofeng said confidently that no one knew his friend better than him, and if that person could not be found, then perhaps no one in the world could find him.

"Hahaha, I naturally trust Master Lu to handle things. Then I, Hua, will await your good news."

Hua Ruling relaxed upon hearing this and offered a compliment, since Lu Xiaofeng was not only skilled in martial arts but also adept at helping people solve problems.

Just then, a pigeon fluttered into the courtyard.

Lu Xiaofeng reached out and took the information from the pigeon's leg, a smile appearing on his lips. He said, "Since it's in a place like this, I'll have to find out more."

After saying goodbye to Hua Ruling, he turned and walked outside.

Inside the Drunken Life Pavilion.

Dan Tianxie wrote a letter to the Poison Master of Bliss Valley, wanting to ask if she had any familiar divine physician friends, since medicine and poison are inseparable.

The reason is that after Rama's remains were pieced together, the good news was that there were indeed signs of martial arts being practiced. As long as the meridians were deciphered, one could obtain Rama's divine power of rebirth. The bad news was that the meridians were obscure and difficult to understand due to their age. Unless one was a divine physician who was proficient in the human body's meridians, it would be difficult to deduce the meridian pathways through which the martial arts were practiced.

Just then, Xi Yu entered gracefully, sat down in front of him, her eyes fixed on the two mummified corpses, her heart filled with regret.

The Wheel King lost his name because of this corpse, and was unable to see its true face before he died, while the person in front of him was placed on the table without any concern. It is truly absurd.

"Any news from the capital these past two days?"

Dan Tianxie looked up at Xiyu and saw her staring intently at Luo Mo's remains, then asked a question.

"Things haven't been peaceful lately. The Hua family has spread the word that whoever finds Rama's remains will receive double the price—a full 200,000 taels of silver!"

"The Hua family is so generous. I'm tempted to exchange their money for it." Shan Tianxie chuckled upon hearing this, then changed the subject, "There are fewer street vendors lately. Could it be that they've all gone to look for the remains of Rama?"

He had barely finished speaking when he couldn't help but laugh again.

Unfortunately, Xi Yu didn't understand his humor and explained, "I heard that the Grand Eunuch Wei Zhongxian is currently being impeached, and his henchmen are constantly searching for evidence against the impeacher, causing widespread panic and making it impossible for anyone to set up a stall."

"Everyone says life in the martial arts world is tough, but who can understand the hardships of ordinary people? Go out and take a look. These days, those who still set up stalls are probably having a very difficult time. Buy some things to support them."

After Dan Tianxie finished speaking, he got up, pulled Xiyu along, and walked outside.

There's no need to worry about losing Rama's remains; with Dong Wuqi in charge, Zuisheng Pavilion is perfectly safe!

The streets were much quieter than usual, with hawkers calling out their wares. Officials and imperial guards walked back and forth from time to time, seemingly checking something, causing a commotion around them.

The people could only keep their heads down and work, living in constant fear that they would be arbitrarily charged with a crime and sent to jail for a couple of days.

Seeing this, Shan Tianxie frowned. Wei Zhongxian was getting anxious. Don't be fooled by the high position and power of eunuchs, or the intimidating title of "Nine Thousand Years Old". In reality, they are just watchdogs of the royal family, used to check and balance the court. What others give you is never truly yours.

After reflecting on my feelings, I strolled around in the drizzle.

As the two were strolling around, a thin man suddenly bumped into them.

Xi Yu intended to intervene, but the man dodged her with a swift movement and charged straight at Shan Tianxie.

"Impressive lightness skill, but you ran into it yourself."

At the moment of collision, at the moment of physical contact.

As soon as Shan Tianxie saw the person flash past the drizzle, he knew that this was no ordinary person. He immediately activated his true energy, and the Star Absorbing Technique was instantly activated and spread throughout his body. When the person touched him, he felt his true energy go out of control and surge towards Shan Tianxie in an endless stream.

The man panicked, realizing the danger was imminent. In desperation, he gathered his strength in his chest and shouted, "Young hero, spare me! Lu Xiaoji, save me! Otherwise, I'll be drained dry!"
