Boom!
Boom!!
The crack of violent thunder resounded through the hall!
"Ma, you bastard, you won't die a good death..."
"Ah..."
Boom!
The peals of thunder swallowed Yan Qi and Shang Zhang's final screams.
From the moment the two were knocked flying into the hall by the shield to their deaths, it had taken no more than the blink of an eye.
Before Cheng Buzheng could even react, the two had already perished, body and soul extinguished.
What had happened also cleared up some of Cheng Buzheng's doubts.

The Abandoned Mansion now was nothing more than an empty shell.
This had all been nothing but a trap.
"Fellow Daoist Cheng, then you are mistaken!"
Having dealt with Yan Qi and Shang Zhang, Ma Chang beckoned with one hand. The shield flashed into existence before him as he looked at Cheng Buzheng with a smiling expression and said unhurriedly:
"Speaking of which, they owe their fate today to Fellow Daoist Cheng!"
"After learning that this old man intended to explore the Abandoned Mansion, they plotted against me. Then, using compensation in Spiritual Items as an excuse, they sought to join the exploration party."
"If Fellow Daoist Cheng had not exposed how the two plotted against me, they would never have had a place in this expedition to the Abandoned Mansion."
By the end, the mockery on Ma Chang's face had become ever more
