The red spider silk unfurled again, and Jiang He didn't waste any words.

She and Pei Ci stood on opposite sides.

Jiang He held a staff in her hand, and Pei Ci also raised his staff.

The electric currents generated by countless lightning-infused energies flowed through the spider silk.

Pei Ci's golden spiritual energy covering the spider silk acted as a conductor, making the silk hard, and Jiang He's lightning instantly pierced Liu Qi's body through this medium.

No matter how many spider silks there are, the golden spiritual energy and lightning can spread to the red silk threads.

As Liu Qi gazed upon this divine image, before he could utter a word, countless spider silk threads pierced his heart.

The fine spider silk transformed into steel wires, piercing through flesh and blood.

Countless blood holes appeared on Liu Qi's body, even on his head.

Blood was flowing from the holes in his body, making it look particularly gruesome.

Liu Qi was pierced by spider silk and collapsed to the ground after losing consciousness.

Due to the lightning strike, a burnt smell gradually emanated from Liu Qi's body.

After Pei Ci finished casting the spell for the second time, he felt some pain in his severed spiritual veins. He lay on the ground, his spiritual energy completely depleted.

Jiang He looked at Liu Qi's charred corpse with some unease.

She limped forward and then took out her spirit sword, plunging it into Liu Qi's throat and heart.

After confirming that Liu Qi was completely dead, Jiang He burned all the remaining spider webs, and then picked up Liu Qi and Liu Si's mustard seed pouches and spatial rings.

They also rummaged through the corpse, taking away the guns and magical artifacts it was carrying.

Liu Qi's movements were too exaggerated, and the patrolling police officers in this area would soon find the alley.

Pei Ci hung his head, his eyes weary.

"I have two teleportation talismans here. The sheriff has members of the Liu family..."

He fainted after saying that.

Under the dim moonlight, the sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance.

Jiang He immediately took out a bottle of liquid from his mustard seed bag, sprayed it on the ground to destroy the DNA in the blood residue, and then smashed the alcohol bottle and set it on fire.

After doing all this, Jiang He carried Pei Ci on her back and teleported her.

No sooner had Jiang He decisively fled than a group of people arrived at the alley.

"There were gunshots earlier, where are they?"

"Cough cough, such thick smoke, quick, put out the fire."

Several sheriffs looked at the flames with a sense of helplessness.

Gunshots late at night are bad enough, but then a fire broke out too. What kind of mess is this?

"Report: The fire has been extinguished, and two bodies appear to have been discovered?"

"A corpse?" One of the sheriffs yawned, his eyes darting around.

He also knew something about the Fifth Elder sending people to hunt down Jiang He, and his family specifically instructed him to cover it up.

He deliberately delayed his arrival tonight after hearing the gunshots.

"Yes, judging from the appearance, they are two male corpses. The bodies are charred and the tissues are almost completely destroyed, so we can only dissect them to get blood from inside."

The sheriff initially wanted to refuse, but upon hearing that there were two male corpses, he quickly stepped forward.

How could it be a male corpse? It should be a female corpse. He remembered that Jiang He was a woman.

The sheriff pursed his lips:

"Take samples and check the ground for signs of a struggle and blood."

"Yes."

Back at the hotel, Jiang He was unaware that the group of police officers were looking for her and Pei Ci's blood, and even if they were looking, they wouldn't find it.

That liquid is a product of this world's technology; it can destroy DNA as soon as it comes into contact with it.

Jiang He wasn't bothered by what was happening in the alley; instead, she fell silent as she looked at Pei Ci's unconscious body.

Jiang He pulled back the black clothes, revealing a horizontal wound on Pei Ci's dantian. Judging from the severity of the wound, it was clearly not caused today.

Jiang He treated her own leg wounds first before checking on Pei Ci's wounds.

If it weren't for Pei Ci's help this time, she might not have been able to escape from and ambush those two experts from the Liu family.

Pei Cishun's spell was clearly at the Nascent Soul stage, but Jiang He couldn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from it.

After treating Pei Ci's wounds, she wrapped him up like a mummy, simply because Pei Ci had too many wounds.

Disheveled silver hair peeked out from under the gauze, and Jiang He pursed her lips as she fed him a few sips of milk tea.

She felt a pang of guilt; the Liu family was the family she had offended the most. Those two men had come to kill her, and the person in front of her just happened to be involved.

Jiang He has to take the college entrance exam tomorrow, so she can't stay in the hotel indefinitely.

To prevent Pei Ci from starving to death, Jiang He ordered several vials of nutrient solution to be injected into Pei Ci's body.

Whether they live or die depends entirely on the vitality of the person in front of them.

-

The machine's test results came quickly, and the sheriff stared into deep thought as he looked at the DNA test reports of the two male corpses.

The identities of the two male corpses have been confirmed through DNA comparison with the Wanling Empire's DNA database.

They are Liu Qi and Liu Si, respectively.

They are from the Liu family.

The sheriff's expression was complicated, and he quickly informed Liu Quan of the matter.

Liu Quan was extremely shocked when he learned the news.

Liu Qi and Liu Si are already at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and are very powerful. How could they have died so easily?

Liu Quan looked like he'd seen a ghost. Thinking of the scene from Jiang He's competition, he knew Jiang He didn't have the strength to kill Liu Qi and Liu Si, but how could those two be dead!

Liu Quan was so angry and frustrated that he sat silently in the wooden chair until the servant's voice pulled him back to reality:

"Fifth Elder, the Patriarch has arrived."

"Big Brother." Liu Shenwei, the head of the Liu family, walked into the house.

Liu Quan quickly got up:

"Master of the house."

"Brother, you've made a foolish mistake."

As the head of the Liu family, Liu Shenwei was always aware of Liu Quan's actions, but he did not stop Liu Quan's behavior unless it involved the interests of the Liu family.

But he didn't expect Liu Quan to be so stupid.

Since they've already sent people to hunt her down, they should go all the way; otherwise, once her daughter grows up, she will be a disaster for the Liu family.

Liu Shen narrowed his eyes. The fact that Liu Yang had been deposed was exactly what he wanted. The clan had always wanted to take the position of head of the Liu family from him, and now, Liu Yang had been deposed.

Liu Quan had always harbored resentment towards Liu Shenwei, an illegitimate son, for becoming the head of the family, but since Liu Shenwei was now the head of the family, he only pretended to be polite.

"I don't know who leaked the news, but the patriarch found out about this matter. Don't worry, patriarch, I will handle it myself."

"It will be resolved on its own?" Liu Shenwei was extremely skeptical of this statement. He had failed to kill Jiang He several times, so there must be a powerful expert protecting her.

At least at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

If he were a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could send Liu family assassins to kill Jiang He and the person behind him.

It's easy to crush an ant.

But since Ant has a powerful backer, he has to consider the Liu family's interests.

If Jiang He were to enter one of the four top universities through the college entrance examination, Liu Shenwei would be unable to make a move.

Recently, due to the SkyTrain incident, there has been a significant increase in the number of experts deployed to protect test takers.

It would be difficult for Liu Shenwei to kill Jiang He during the exam; the only opportunity he could wait for was after the exam ended.

If Jiang He truly has a powerful backer, the pursuit can be entirely attributed to Liu Quan's faction.

After making all the plans, Liu Shenwei instructed Liu Quan not to take action against Jiang He.
