"Do not do such a foolish thing a second time, or else you will know the consequences!" The masked woman said in a hoarse voice.
Zhou Jing bowed and knelt, "Yes, master."
"Mm, how did it go?" The masked woman said indifferently.
"Reporting to master, I have successfully obtained the ancient elixir formula of the Yao family. I had wanted to gather enough ingredients to hand it over to master, but I did not expect to find a youth using a silver bow. That silver bow was extremely powerful, and it could not be a normal divine artifact.
"I had wanted to give it to master, but I did not expect to get into trouble."
The masked woman shook her head, "It is enough that you have the intention. Be careful next time. The Phoenix Cabinet is near, and there will be many strong fighters. There are all sorts of strange geniuses. You cannot judge a book by its cover, and overlook it just because you are young.
"Seeing that you have completed your mission, I will let bygones be bygones. Go and cultivate."
Zhou Jing revealed a joyous expression, revealing a smile of relief, "I can finally leave the Yao family."
Back then, in order to carry out her master's mission, she had sacrificed herself and married into the Yao family to obtain the formula of an ancient elixir.
For three whole years, she had faced a husband she did not like, and had been careful in every aspect. She had gained the trust of the Yao family, gradually reaching this stage.
Today, she had finally completed her mission.
After Zhou Jing left, the masked woman turned back, coldly staring at Zhou Jing's departing figure, "Once the cunning hare is dead, the hound will be cooked. Zhou Jing, your mission has been completed. It is time for you to find your own home."
Whoosh —
Su Yu descended upon the black door of the yard.
Looking around coldly, he could no longer sense the aura of Zhou Jing and the mysterious master.
"There is something wrong with this place." Su Yu looked around. The place was unusually quiet, not even the sound of bugs could be heard.
At this moment, a light breeze blew past.
Su Yu's pupils dilated, abruptly turning his head to look at the woodshed.
He carefully rushed over, opening a gap and looking inside.
"Hiss …"
Even Su Yu could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
In this small woodshed, there were actually twenty people's bones piled up!
There were also nine people chained to the wall, their bodies emitting a rotting stench!
But they were not dead, and still had a breath left.
Every one of them had a pained expression, looking like a bag of bones. Swarms of flies circled them, preparing to enjoy the final feast of death.
If that was all, Su Yu would not have been so shocked.
What made him suck in a breath of cold air was that whether it was the nine people or the pile of bones, their bodies were all mutilated!
In the cabinets on both sides of the woodshed, there were huge jugs of water stored inside. Impressively, these jugs contained the parts that they had lost!
They were tortured to death and had their organs cut out while they were still alive!
Could such inhumane methods really be done by humans?
Taking a closer look, the room was littered with pills that had yet to be processed.
"Using martial artists to test elixirs and conduct human experiments?" Su Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
Who was Zhou Jing's master? What was her motive? How could he do such a cruel and inhumane thing!
"Save … me …" Out of the nine, one of them managed to maintain a strand of consciousness. When he saw that there was someone outside, he weakly said, "Save … me …"
Clang —
Su Yu kicked the door open and rushed over in a flash. He lifted his finger, intending to destroy the chains and save him.
His abdomen had been cut open and his internal organs had been hollowed out. Right now, he was barely hanging on by a thread.
But just as Su Yu was about to save him, he shook his head. "No, don't put me down … Kill me … Kill me … You're saving me …"
What kind of pain did he have to go through to beg for death?
A fate worse than death!
His organs had been cut out while he was still alive and he had been subjected to cruel torture. He could neither live nor die.
His only hope was to die!
Su Yu's heart trembled, his palms trembling.
Too cruel! Too vicious!
He had killed countless people, but he had never tortured someone to such an extent!
"Who did this?" Su Yu asked.
The other party weakly said, "It was, Feng …"
Puuu —
Before he could finish his sentence, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
At the same time, the other eight people were convulsing, their mouths foaming.
Their bodies were rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Ah! Quick, kill me! "That person was like a crazed beast, letting out a shrill roar in pain, as if he was being tortured in hell!
Su Yu slowly closed his eyes!
Too cruel!
He did not even give them a chance to live.
Before that "master" left, he had given them poison. The poison caused them to self-destruct.
Creak —
Su Yu closed his eyes, a bolt of lightning streaking across his fingertips, turning them all into ashes.
He had given them a quick death before they died.
Even though the dust had settled, Su Yu's heart could not calm down.
Who was Feng? Was he human?
Where was he now?
Su Yu bowed toward the many bodies in the room, then slowly retreated.
In the future, if he met Feng, he would act on behalf of heaven, giving these martial artists who had died in vain a consolation.
If it was difficult to meet Feng, Su Yu naturally would not waste his energy to find Feng and seek justice for them.
This was the only promise a passerby like Su Yu could make to the dead.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh —
Suddenly, the sound of a large group of martial artists breaking through the air could be heard from outside the courtyard.
Su Yu creased his brows, sighing helplessly. "In the end, I still fell for it!
"However, Zhou Jing, you cannot escape!" Su Yu's eyes were filled with coldness.
"We are the Patrol Envoys of the Phoenix Cabinet. The person inside, come out!" A cold female voice could be heard from outside the house.
Su Yu walked out of the woodshed, his expression calm as he looked at the Patrol Envoys.
They were all young women wearing fiery red armor.
Their cultivation levels were around Immortal Realm Level Two. The beautiful woman in the lead had a cultivation level of Immortal Realm Level Three Peak!
Even though she was over thirty years old, it was not hard to imagine that she was one of the most outstanding female disciples of the Phoenix Cabinet when she was younger!
The beautiful woman had a delicate face, a slender figure, and looked extremely weak.
But her jade-like face was constantly releasing a cold, unapproachable glow.
"What are you doing here? This house has long been listed as a forbidden ground. You are not allowed to enter! "The cold woman stared at Su Yu with a cold, sharp gaze.
Su Yu moved aside expressionlessly, his heart heavy. "Take a look for yourselves."
Eh? The beautiful leader raised her beautiful brows, both hands gripping the long sword at her waist as she stepped into the woodshed.
In a moment, she turned around and came out.
Her beautiful face was as gloomy as an enraged lioness. Beneath her skin was a boundless fury.
"Capture him!" Without hesitation, she pointed at Su Yu from afar!
Su Yu creased his brows. "Aren't you being too presumptuous? Capturing me without asking for the reason? "
"I came here chasing an enemy and accidentally discovered this place. The culprit is someone else!" Su Yu explained.
Unexpectedly, while the beautiful woman was patrolling, she seemed to have been provoked, her eyes spitting flames of fury. She wanted to bite Su Yu to death. "You still want to deny it?"
"We received a report that the continuous disappearances of the Phoenix Fort were related to a white-robed youth. Hence, we rushed here to investigate! You dare to deny it when you are caught red-handed? "
The beautiful woman was filled with hatred, her killing intent surging. She scolded angrily, "Are you still human? How could you be so inhumane, committing such inhumane acts? "
"I, Mu Tianfang, represent the Phoenix Cabinet to announce that I will execute you, a beast with a human's face but a beast's heart, in front of everyone!"
Su Yu said helplessly, "Miss Mu, I think you should investigate who the informant was."
"If I am really the instigator of all this, I would like to ask why you did not discover me after such a long time. This means that I was cautious. Why would I be so careless and allow myself to be caught red-handed?"
Mu Tianfang was filled with disgust. "You mean that we did not catch you previously because we were incompetent?"
Su Yu calmly said, "Yes, incompetent! Dozens of people were killed, but you did not have any clues. If not for me accidentally stumbling upon this place today, I'm afraid there would have been countless more people who would have died here. "
Mu Tianfang's beautiful face turned red with anger. "You! You are shameless! It is not too late for us to catch you now! "
"You do not need to deny it. I will only ask you one question. How did the nine corpses die?" Mu Tianfang said coldly.
Su Yu froze, sighing helplessly. "I used my lightning ability to end their lives."
"Hehe, do you still feel that you are innocent?" Mu Tianfang laughed coldly.
"You are a man. You dare to do it, but do not dare to admit it? You dare to do such an insane thing, but do not dare to admit it? "Mu Tianfang was overbearing.
The veins on Su Yu's forehead throbbed. This stupid woman!
"I will say it one last time. Quickly investigate the informant. He might be the real murderer!" Su Yu repeated.
He also wanted to know if the Patrol Envoys could find out who the owner of this place was.
"There is no need. I have already released him. Don't even think about finding out his identity and taking revenge." Mu Tianfang laughed coldly. "You do not repent even at death's door. You are a beast in human skin. There is no hope for you!"
"I will give you one last chance. Surrender and come back with me to be punished!"
Release him? Su Yu was furious.
"Stupid woman! Quickly find him and bring him back to me! "Su Yu was furious.
Mu Tianfang was stunned by his roar. She regained her senses, her face filled with shame and anger. "Damned thing. A person like you is not worthy of being brought back to the Phoenix Cabinet for trial. I will personally kill you, you beast!"
Su Yu was furious. This woman was so stupid that no medicine could save her!
