Old Master Li was dead and the murderer was unknown.
Yang Xuan hid at the side and watched the coroner of Taihe City fiddle with Old Master Li's body. His eyes narrowed.
It could be seen that Old Master Li, a One-Line Heaven expert, did not resist at all before he died. Even his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Yang Xuan watched for a while and went directly into the wine cellar.
In the wine cellar, the small square that originally stored the Ten Thousand Souls Wine was now open and the four jars of Ten Thousand Souls Wine were nowhere to be seen.
Yang Xuan had some guesses.
Coming out of the Li Residence, he stood in the air and released his Divine Thought completely, instantly enveloping the entire Taihe City.
After a while, his eyes revealed a strange look. Then, he instantly flew to the west of the city.
On the official road in the west of the city, a person was flying quickly. He was carrying a huge bulging bag on his back.
It was the man in black who had a secret conversation with Old Master Li.
Yang Xuan did not disturb him and just followed behind him.
The man in black flew all the way and did not notice that a killing god was following behind him.
Flying all the way, in a short time, he had already flown two to three hundred miles. He only stopped when he reached a small village.
The man in black turned around and looked behind him, then entered the village.
In an ordinary courtyard, the black-clothed man took off his hood. He was an old man with an ordinary face.
After closing the door and windows, he put the bag on the table and opened it, revealing four small jars of wine. They were the four jars of Ten Thousand Souls Wine.
Looking at the four jars of wine, the man in black's eyes revealed a greedy look. It was as if what was placed in front of him was not wine but a peerless beauty.
At this moment, Yang Xuan's heart skipped a beat and he looked in a direction.
Behind the man in black, a person appeared.
This person had a cold expression and was dressed in black. He held a long sword in his hand and stared coldly at the back of the man in black.
The man in black seemed to have felt something and suddenly turned around. After seeing the person behind him, he was first stunned, then his face revealed a strong shock and fear. Even his body was trembling.
"Zhang Jiang, you've got guts," the person said coldly. His voice was filled with undisguised killing intent. "You've secretly withheld soul energy to refine Ten Thousand Souls Wine."
"Altar Leader Liu, no … no, this isn't … isn't me." Zhang Jiang's face was filled with fear as he denied it.
Altar Leader Liu said coldly, "Whether it's you or not, you'll have to explain it to the Saintess."
Zhang Jiang's body trembled even more violently. He tried his best to turn his head and look at the green-clothed woman who had appeared out of nowhere beside him. His neck started to creak.
"Holy … Holy Maiden …" He cried out in fear as he collapsed to the ground.
Yang Xuan's gaze fell on the green-clothed woman with an inexplicable expression.
Was she the Saintess of the Holy Mountain?
There was a hint of doubt in his mind.
The green-clothed woman's face was slightly round and flushed. She smiled and said, "I'm not the Saintess. I'm the Saintess' maid. My name is Xiao Cui. Zhang Jiang, don't mistake me for someone else."
Zhang Jiang was completely paralyzed. His heart was filled with fear.
If the truth was revealed, what awaited him would be the harshest torture.
In a flash, Xiao Cui suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Jiang and grabbed his right hand that was about to slap her head.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Cui smiled and said, "The Saintess wants to see you. If you die, we won't be able to complete our mission. We'll be punished."
Zhang Jiang was completely paralyzed. When he thought of the torture he was about to face, his brain was buzzing.
"Please … Please … Granny Cui, kill … kill … me, kill me." Zhang Jiang kept begging.
"That won't do!"
Xiao Cui was still smiling, but as she spoke, a cold light flashed. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere. Both of Zhang Jiang's arms were cut off and fell to the ground.
Zhang Jiang screamed and fainted from the pain.
Altar Leader Liu's face became extremely pale, and his body was trembling slightly.
Wisps of black gas emerged from Xiao Cui's hand. After circling around Zhang Jiang's wounds, they stopped the blood from gushing out.
"What are you waiting for?" Xiao Cui smiled at Altar Leader Liu and said, "Carry him and the wine. Follow me."
Altar Leader Liu finally regained his senses. He hurriedly walked forward and rewrapped the Ten Thousand Souls Wine on the table. Then, he grabbed the unconscious Zhang Jiang and followed Xiao Cui out.
After leaving the village, Xiao Cui took the lead and left in a direction. Altar Leader Liu carried the Ten Thousand Souls Wine and Zhang Jiang, who had lost both of his arms, and followed behind her. His face was pale and he looked uneasy.
Not long after, a manor appeared in front of them. As they approached the manor, someone came up to them. It was a female guard in armor.
"It's Sister Xiao Cui!" One of them shouted and then retreated.
Xiao Cui was still smiling. She brought Altar Leader Liu into the huge manor.
Yang Xuan scanned the manor with his Divine Thought. There were about a hundred people in the manor, and they were all female. It seemed like they were the guards of the Saintess from the Saint Mountain.
In the middle of the manor, in a hall, Xiao Cui's smile disappeared. She knelt on the ground respectfully and said to the seat of honor, "Your Highness, Xiao Cui did not disappoint you and captured Zhang Jiang. However, Li Fu has already been killed by Zhang Jiang."
There was a curtain in the hall. After Xiao Cui's report, no sound came out.
Xiao Cui did not dare to move. She knelt on the ground quietly.
After a while, a cold voice came out from behind the curtain, "Send someone to bring Zhang Jiang back and throw him into the Soul-devouring Cave. The Altar Leader here will have one of his arms cut off as a punishment. "
"Yes!" Xiao Cui said respectfully.
The curtain was lifted, and two ladies dressed like Xiao Cui walked out. After the curtain was closed, a lady was revealed sitting inside.
Her eyebrows were black, and her skin was white. Her eyes were like two stars. As they blinked, they revealed a cold light.
She wore a white dress. Just by sitting there quietly, she felt like she was looking down on everyone.
Her gaze was very cold. After looking at Xiao Cui, who was still kneeling on the ground, she continued, "Kill everyone related to this. Leave no one alive."
"Yes!" Xiao Cui did not even dare to raise her head.
"As for you …" The lady paused for a moment before continuing, "Since it's not your fault, you'll be given a lighter punishment. When you return, you'll receive a hundred soul canes."
"Ah?"
Xiao Cui was shocked. She looked at the Saintess, who was sitting on the chair. She did not know what was going on.
"What? Didn't you hear? "The Saintess said coldly.
"Xiao Cui heard!"
Xiao Cui's face was pale. Her body trembled as she knelt on the ground. "But Xiao Cui doesn't understand. Where did I go wrong?"
"Hmph!"
The Saintess snorted coldly and said, "You were followed here, and you still don't know. What have you been cultivating for all these years?"
After that, she looked at Yang Xuan and said, "The Demon God has graced us with his presence. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you."
"Ah?"
Xiao Cui's body jerked. She suddenly turned her head and looked over.
When Yang Xuan appeared in the hall, Xiao Cui's mouth opened in shock. Her face was full of disbelief, and her eyes were full of shock.
"Bai … Bai Qi!" Xiao Cui exclaimed.
