"Sister Blood, I'm here as promised. Can you tell me the truth about the Li Residence now?" Xing Jue asked with a gentle smile despite the shock in his heart.
Although Xing Jue had basically confirmed that Sister Blood was the murderer of the Li Residence, he still wanted to hear the truth from her. This was because the wounds on her body told Xing Jue that she had experienced something very painful. If the person who attacked her was from the Li Residence, then Xing Jue would sympathize with Sister Blood. Although her methods were very cruel, she was forced to do so.
At that moment, Xing Jue was not the only one who thought so. Almost all the soldiers in the Tianji Camp who were hidden in the surroundings had the same thought. They also wanted to hear the so-called truth from Sister Blood because the truth was very likely to be what Sister Blood had experienced.
"Of course, I called Big Brother here to tell you about this."
Sister Blood did not answer Xing Jue's question directly. Instead, she looked at Xing Jue with her bloody eyes. "But before that, Brother, tell me first. Do you suspect that I'm the murderer?"
Looking at the pair of bloody eyes, Xing Jue's heart could not help but tremble. He was shocked to find that at that moment, he actually sensed a trace of murderous intent from Sister Blood's eyes. Although it was only for a moment, Xing Jue clearly felt that it was real murderous intent. It was a murderous intent that wanted to kill someone.
At that moment, Xing Jue was holding a communication talisman in his hand. As long as he crushed the talisman, the Ambush of Heaven's Path would be activated. However, Xing Jue would not inform General Zhao to activate the formation just because of this little crisis unless Sister Blood really attacked him.
"Hehe, I'm just joking. Brother is my family. Why would you suspect me?
Besides, even if I did something wrong, I know that Brother will definitely forgive me. " However, before Xing Jue could answer, the blood sister actually covered her mouth and chuckled to herself. It was as if she was imagining something wonderful. She called Xing Jue 'Big Brother' so intimately, as if she really treated Xing Jue as her family.
"Brother, perhaps you won't believe me even if I tell you the truth, but I still have to tell you.
"I didn't do anything to the several thousand clansmen of the Li Residence. I'm just a little girl. How could I possibly do something so cruel?" Xue Mei pursed her lips and put on a wronged expression.
"Then who is it?" Xing Jue asked anxiously.
Sister Blood's eyes suddenly turned solemn as she said, "Actually, that person is the master of the Li Residence, Master Li!"
After hearing her words, Xing Jue could not help but feel shocked because he could not imagine why Master Li would slaughter his own family. He could not understand why Xing Jue would do something like that had no basis. However, even though he was shocked, Xing Jue did not interrupt Sister Blood because he wanted to hear the rest of the story.
"Brother, if you want to talk about this, you have to tell me something, and that's my identity.
"Actually, I'm also a member of the Li Residence. However, apart from a few people in the Li Residence, no one knows of my existence. That's why I'm not on the Li Residence's list.
"Brother, do you know why no one knows of my existence? It's because from the day I can remember, I've been imprisoned by the master of the Li Residence in a secret chamber below. " A hint of sadness flashed through Sister Xue's eyes as she said that. She seemed to have recalled something unpleasant.
"Sister Blood, what does Master Li want from you?"
Hearing that, Xing Jue could already guess that if what Sister Blood said was true, then the wounds on her body must have been caused by Master Li. He must have done that because he wanted to get something from Sister Blood.
"Brother, I have to say that you're really smart. Come to think of it, it's strange. I've remembered some strange things since I was young. It's … a treasure." Sister Blood did not hide anything from Xing Jue and spoke frankly.
"Treasure?"
Hearing till here, almost everyone present was startled. Although there were many treasures left behind by the ancestors in the Mortal Realm, those were only items of the Mortal Realm. The treasures here were usually extremely extraordinary and extremely rare.
"Sister Blood, even if what you said is true, I'm still very curious. Since Master Li was the one who slaughtered the Li Residence's family, who killed him?"
"If you managed to escape in the secret chamber, why are you sleeping in this garden?" Xing Jue had a doubtful look on his face.
"Brother, it's actually very simple. I only said that Master Li killed his family. I didn't say that I didn't kill anyone."
"The truth is … Master Li killed all of his clansmen, and I killed Master Li," Sister Blood said casually as if she was talking about something insignificant.
"Even so, you have to give me a reason why Master Li went crazy and killed his entire family, right?" Xing Jue asked again.
"Speaking of this, I have to talk about the memories I was born with. There's a very powerful cultivation method in my memories, and Master Li really wanted it. However, the cultivation method I told him was wrong, so he went crazy after cultivating it to a certain extent."
"After going crazy, he went crazy and used the cultivation method to kill his entire family. As for why I killed him, there's no need to ask, right? Why did he torture me so badly? What reason did I have not to kill him? "Sister Blood continued.
Upon hearing that, Xing Jue felt that what Sister Blood said made sense. Although it seemed unbelievable, it was actually logical. People who went crazy while cultivating would indeed do many unimaginable and inhumane things.
"Sister Blood, what's the treasure in your head? Where is it hidden? " Xing Jue asked again. He was very curious about the treasure recorded in Sister Blood's inherited memories.
One had to know that although he had heard of people being sentenced to death for inheriting memories, he had never heard of it being done to a human. However, Blood Sister was different from the rest, so it was not out of the question for her to be sentenced to death if it happened to her.
"Brother, you're not thinking of taking my treasure, are you?"
"Hehe, I'm not going to hide it from you. That treasure is useless to anyone but me." Hearing Xing Jue's question, Sister Blood suddenly smiled. However, it seemed like she did not intend to tell him the location of the treasure.
"Little Sister Xue, I don't have any designs on your treasure. It's just that as the person investigating the Li Residence's murder case, I have the right to apprehend the murderer and bring him to justice. If things are really as you say, then your crime isn't too heavy."
"It's just that it's not enough for me to believe in this matter. I also need to convince the current Emperor, Lord Marshal, and everyone else. And to make them believe, we need sufficient evidence. The treasure that sister mentioned is the best evidence, because it can prove that sister really has inherited memories."
Xing Jue explained patiently. At that moment, Xing Jue actually believed what Xue Mei had said was true. She also wanted to help Xue Mei absolve herself of the crime. After all, if what she said was true, the crime wouldn't be too serious. After all, as an official of the imperial court, it was Mister Li who had done something against humanity. With his status, if the emperor found out that he had done such a thing, he would definitely be sentenced to death.
"Brother, I don't care if they believe me or not. It's enough as long as you believe me."
"I called you here today because I want you to know the truth. I know you're very curious about this, Brother." Sister Blood suddenly smiled. She looked like she did not care at all.
"Brother, thank you. Thank you for being willing to be my family. Thank you for being willing to be my brother. Thank you for giving me the name Sister Blood. To be honest, I like it very much." All of a sudden, Xue Mei jumped down from the tree and bowed to Execution Jue on the spot like she was doing it.
Her action stunned Xing Jue. Initially, when Xing Jue discovered that Sister Blood had changed, he was very wary of her. However, at that moment, Xing Jue was shocked to discover that her words of thanks were filled with sincerity.
"Brother, I'm leaving. As long as you don't leave the Starfall Dynasty, I'll come back to find you in the future."
Before Xing Chen could snap out of his daze from Xue Mei's sudden action, Xue Mei said that she wanted to leave, and as she spoke, she stood up.
"Heavenly Dao Ambush Formation!"
* Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz *
At that moment, following General Zhao's shout, a strange formation pattern appeared on the ground of the garden that had already become a wasteland. The formation was golden in color and emitted a dazzling light. It was as if a sun had appeared on the land in the dark night.
"Zi la la la la la la!"
Furthermore, there were countless bolts of golden lightning entwined within it. The golden lightning darted about at an extremely fast speed and produced ear-piercing sounds. This was the Heavenly Dao Ambush Formation that Xing Jue and the others had set up earlier.
At the same time that the formation was activated, General Zhao and the hundreds of soldiers who were arranged in a line appeared. However, at that moment, they were also encircled by the same golden light. It enveloped them like a defensive barrier.
"Lock!"
After the formation was activated, General Zhao pointed at Sister Blood, who was panicking and at a loss for what to do. The golden lightning snakes that filled the formation surged at an extremely fast speed and connected together. Like several lightning snake whips, they surged toward Sister Blood who was in the center of the formation from all directions.
"Zi la la la la la la!"
"Ahh …"
The sudden turn of events clearly left Sister Blood at a loss. By the time she reacted, it was already too late. The several golden lightning snake whips entwined around her body and trapped her firmly.
The golden lightning snakes contained powerful energy. Sister Blood was unable to endure the energy of the lightning snake whips after being entwined by so many lightning snake whips. She began to howl in pain.
"You actually set a trap to capture me. I'll kill you!"
After letting out a painful howl, Sister Blood cast her blood-red eyes at Xing Jue. At that moment, her blood-red eyes were filled with hatred and overflowing killing intent.
