I think my luck is turning around.

"We are just independent cultivators, so naturally we are here for cultivation."

"Does cultivation require waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump? Does it require killing someone? That corpse was the bait you threw out. If the person you were waiting for had come today, wouldn't that person have suffered endless torment?"

Ji Xia poked the man's head with her pistol and asked again, clearly annoyed.

What is your true purpose?

This time it was a threat; if the man didn't talk, they would really deal with him. The man stammered out their plan.

The people lying on the ground were the ones they had met in Shenwu City. Back then, there were two of them, two identical people. They said they came from the Yi family and were traveling the world.

Everyone in the world knows about the Yi family's secret techniques, but they don't know what those techniques are. Driven by curiosity, what began as a question turned into interrogation. The two men were forced to flee, which led them here.

Ji Xia and the other three listened from the side. Ji Xia had heard of the Yi family's secret techniques, but he didn't want to know the real details. At this moment, An Ge raised a question: What was this person hiding?

"The Yi family's secret techniques have nothing to do with your cultivation, do they? It's the fact that they themselves are beneficial to your cultivation!"

An Ge narrowed her eyes slightly, questioning the veracity of what this person was saying. It was definitely false; An Ge's dull voice had already confirmed that it was a lie.

Ji Xia's hand never wavered; the gun remained pressed against the man's forehead. Ji Xia's voice echoed through the cave.

It just makes your hair stand on end.

"You'd better tell the truth, this thing could easily break your head."

"These two are excellent cultivation vessels. If we use them to cultivate, our cultivation will take a huge leap forward, comparable to the elixirs of Tianye Peak."

An Ge looked at this person who seemed to be going mad, completely bewildered. She could understand the concept of a furnace cauldron, and she had even heard of using people as furnace cauldrons, but she hadn't delved into it deeply, only knowing the general idea. What she couldn't understand was this method; it was coercion. If it weren't for their coercion, why would the two closest people be separated, now forever separated by death?

An Ge looked at this guy with disdain, thinking he was treating human life like dirt.

"Ji Xia, make your move! These guys aren't human, they're beasts. Don't worry about the truth; people are dead, how can they come back to life?"

An Ge's words were naturally emotional, and Ji Xia, looking at everything around her with disdain, shot the man in the head, leaving a bloody hole. The man fell to the ground; it seemed quite a lot had been burned today!

Ji Xia looked at the corpses scattered on the ground. She first fired a finishing shot, making sure the bodies weren't completely dead; otherwise, it would be her mistake. Ji Xia then directed the two men to move the five bodies outside, dig a pit, and burn them. An Ge stood beside one of the corpses, looking at the face that looked exactly like Jiang Wu's.

Ji Xia handed An Ge the fuel and tinder she had prepared, "Hurry up and burn it! Let's go back quickly. This fuel will definitely burn to ashes, don't worry."

Seeing that An Ge's emotions had gradually calmed down, Ji Xia walked out of the cave and instructed, "You two pile those people up and burn them together. There absolutely cannot be any survivors."

Two fires blazed up, and they watched the flames burn for quite a while. Except for An Ge, the other three didn't seem to care about the scene. Only An Ge hid to the side, refusing to watch.

They rushed back to the capital city in the early hours of the morning. Whether the five people were properly cremated is unknown, but there is absolutely no possibility of them being resurrected. The cremation and burial were done perfectly.

As for Jiang Wu's sister's body, it was indeed completely burned. On the way back, An Ge was in low spirits. As she learned about some of the true details of the story, she felt as if these things were tearing at her heart.

"You've been like this the whole way, what's wrong with you?"
