"Hhk, hhk-"
Daoist Jingzhe clutched his still-spurting throat with one hand and desperately clawed at the empty air before him with the other, as though trying to seize his own life, only to grasp nothing.
At last.
His eyes dimmed, his blood and qi fell still, and his breathing ceased!
"Hmph. That was too easy a death for you!"
Wei Sheng's eyes were cold.
Given Daoist Jingzhe's countless crimes, even death by a thousand cuts would not have been excessive. Killing him with a single stroke had been a release for him instead.
"What a pity-"
Looking at the members of the Bu Family who had died violent deaths, Wei Sheng sighed softly.
Their corpses were already stiff and hard. Clearly, they had been dead for more than two days.

Wei Sheng stepped forward and cut off Daoist Jingzhe's head, putting it together with the heads of Thunderclap Hand and Red-Haired Demon.
Then he retrieved several things from Daoist Jingzhe's body and put them away.

Wei Sheng opened the gray bundle.
He did not look at the banknotes or gold leaves.
He casually set the bottles and jars
