"It seems you've gotten yourself into a much bigger mess this time..."
Zhou Qingmei appeared beside Fang Shuwen without anyone noticing.
The Wind-Shocking Sword has been sheathed, and those evil spirits and heretics have been dealt with.
Lu Guiyan stood on the other side, her face very grim, clearly having also heard Bai Liuxian's words.
Fang Shuwen shook his head and smiled. It's not troublesome; the system task won't be triggered either.
However, judging from the information Bai Liuxian provided, a rather complex web has already been laid out before us.
From the very first moment Lu'an Escort Agency accepted this mission, they were already caught in a web.
Moreover, it is the core of this network.
However, compared to the entire network, they do not represent a large proportion.
What's truly terrifying are the other entities surrounding this web.
King Cao of the Hundred Ghost Hall may not have a direct connection with this matter.
He needed those two people because he was injured... and the information was stolen from the Startling Flower Pavilion.
The key is the person standing behind the Fierce Tiger Gang.
This person wants Wu Lingxiao dead.
However, it was truly unexpected that this dignified Lord of Flying Snow City would be injured.
And this King Cao, does he know even more?
Thinking of this, he glanced at the two people still fighting beside him.
Hua Meiniang is now determined to leave; Fang Shuwen has terrified her... Although Fang Shuwen has no intention of joining forces with Chen Qi, it is clear that if Chen Qi is defeated, he will surely die.
But she wanted to leave, while Chen Qi refused.
This person's swordsmanship is superb. Although defeating Hua Meiniang won't be easy, Hua Meiniang's escape... won't be so simple either.
On the contrary, their lack of will to fight gave Chen Qi many opportunities.
Now, I have sword wounds on my shoulder and in the back of my leg.
Seeing that Fang Shuwen was currently interrogating Bai Liuxian and couldn't attend to him for the time being, but once Fang Shuwen had figured out everything he wanted to know, how could he possibly survive?
Thinking of this, Hua Meiniang no longer cared about concealing her methods.
With a sharp rebuke, she shook her arms, and a ripping sound rang out as she ripped her own clothes to shreds.
Her snow-white skin was immediately revealed to everyone.
"Shameless!!"
Zhou Qingmei couldn't help but curse, then looked at Fang Shuwen. Seeing that Fang Shuwen was looking at her closely, her face darkened.
What's so interesting about it!?
"Her martial arts skills... she really pushed them to the limit."
Fang Shuwen's eyes were clear, showing no trace of desire.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that Hua Meiniang is not truly naked; her vital parts are still partially covered.
However, this made her movements even more elusive, and combined with the internal energy cultivation method of the Flower Moon Sect, its bewitching properties were brought to their fullest extent.
Even with his resolute will, Chen Qi's sword strike was still a fraction of a second slower at this moment.
Seeing this, Hua Meiniang acted decisively and delivered a palm strike.
Chen Qi sensed the danger of the strong wind and quickly blocked it with his sword. His palm strike landed on the sword's edge, and Chen Qi felt a tightness in his chest, involuntarily taking three steps back.
Having succeeded in her attack, Hua Meiniang didn't hesitate and turned to leave.
But at that moment, Fang Shuwen let out a cold laugh:
"Where are you going, sister? Weren't you planning to have a long, romantic chat with me?"
If it were when they first met, Hua Meiniang would have been overjoyed to hear these words, but now she only felt that they were a bewitching, demonic chant.
His internal energy surged rapidly, and with his lightness skill activated, he dared not linger for even a moment.
But at that moment, an incredibly strong suction force suddenly came from behind.
Even with all her might, she couldn't resist this force and couldn't help but let out a desperate cry:
No... don't...
She never dreamed that these words would come out of her own mouth.
In the past, it was always those exhausted men who had no choice but to say this... and when they said this, they were not far from the end of their lives.
Little did I expect that I would be the one to say those words today!
Snap!
His head had already fallen into a large, thick hand.
She was facing upwards, so she could see Fang Shuwen's face directly.
His face was still handsome.
The moment Hua Meiniang saw her, she was already set in her sights.
She wanted to drain every last drop of vitality and inner strength from this young master, and then kill him in his moment of despair.
But now, not a single romantic thought could arise in her heart. The despair she had anticipated still lingered, only now it was growing within her own mind.
"No... don't kill me... please..."
The Beiming Shengong wouldn't care about her tears, and neither would Fang Shuwen.
In the blink of an eye, her internal energy had been completely drained.
With a flick of Fang Shuwen's fingers, and a snap, her fairly pretty face was now exposed to a 360-degree view.
When the body returned to its upright position, it had already completely stopped breathing.
The body fell to the ground with a thud.
Bai Liuxian subconsciously moved his body backward...
Fang Shuwen turned his head and glanced at him; large beads of sweat dripped from Bai Liuxian's forehead.
"No... don't kill me..."
Fang Shuwen tilted his head, looking puzzled:
What makes you say that?
"I am the righteous path of the martial world, you are the evil heretic."
"As the saying goes, good and evil cannot coexist. If I don't kill you, am I supposed to keep you around to harm the loyal and good?"
Looking at the corpses around him, Bai Liuxian thought to himself, "Which so-called righteous sect in the martial world is as ruthless as you?"
However, he ultimately dared not say those words...
Fang Shuwen then asked:
"Think again, is there any other news that you haven't told me?"
If I tell the truth... could you... could you let me go?
A glimmer of hope appeared in Bai Liuxian's eyes.
Fang Shuwen nodded:
"It's not something we can't consider."
"... King Cao's martial arts skills are far superior to ours."
"If two of the seven sect leaders were here at Autumn Moon Convent today, they would undoubtedly have won a complete victory."
"But Feng Lixiao... None of the people who came this time are the top figures in their respective factions."
Even if they join forces, the outcome is still uncertain.
Even if we win... I'm afraid there will be many casualties...
Fang Shuwen raised an eyebrow, pressed down with one palm, Bai Liuxian's pupils suddenly contracted. He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could utter a single word, he died on the spot.
Then he grabbed Zhou Qingmei, who was about to head towards Autumn Moon Convent.
Zhou Qingmei turned and glanced at him, her eyes filled with anxiety:
"My master..."
Fang Shuwen nodded:
"You stay with Chief Escort Lu and my senior brother; I'll take the two guest escorts and head ahead."
Just then, Chen Qi walked over, sword in hand.
His expression was somewhat strange.
"Didn't you say you could consider not killing him?"
"I've thought about it."
Fang Shuwen used his [Azure Cloud Step] to turn around and headed straight for the mountain god temple. Before the master and servant could react, he had already grabbed their shoulders.
As he leaped away, he left another sentence behind as he passed Chen Qi:
The conclusion after consideration is... to eradicate evil completely.
