137: This is still difficult to solve.

“?” A question mark appeared above Chen Heng's head.

that woman is really persistent; how could he run into her here?

Chen Heng knew that the last key was in Zhu Hongying's hands.

However, he wasn't very interested in the Hundred Corpse Tomb, so he didn't go looking for her.

He really didn't expect that that woman would deliver herself to him.

“that woman is currently in the village, but the village has been completely destroyed, so I don't know if that woman is dead or alive.”

Yuan Hua honestly confessed everything about Zhu Hongying.

“Got it, now get lost.”

Chen Heng waved his hand, knowing that he couldn't get much more information from Yuan Hua and could only search for it himself.

Amidst another round of heartfelt gratitude, Yuan Hua scurried away from that troublesome place.

“Big Brother Chen, what if that Yuan Hua harms people again in the future?”

“Is it really appropriate to just let him go?”

Bai Jun looked at Yuan Hua, who had already run far away, and asked with some doubt.

“That kid doesn't have much ability.”

“Besides, I can only ensure that this small area of Qiyang City isn't harmed; other people have little to do with me.”

“I know what you're thinking, but I'm not the only one in this world who can deal with him.”

“Once that kid starts harming people again, someone will eventually take care of him.”

Chen Heng patted Bai Jun's shoulder and said earnestly.

“Alright…” Bai Jun sighed, feeling that Chen Heng made sense, but something still felt off.

In short, he wanted to refute but couldn't find the words.

“Let's go, let's see if that annoying woman Zhu Hongying is dead or alive.”

Chen Heng didn't say anything more but lifted his foot and walked into the village, which had already become ruins.

Finding Zhu Hongying was simple; Chen Heng's nose was not to be underestimated.

By concentrating his Qi and blood in his nose, Chen Heng's sense of smell was greatly enhanced.

“Eek! That stench is too obvious.”

Chen Heng rubbed his nose, which felt a little itchy from the smell, and walked towards a collapsed mud house.

“Is there a smell?” Bai Jun imitated Chen Heng and sniffed.

But besides the smell of charring in the air, he didn't smell anything else.

With a crash, the mud house, whose frame was still relatively intact, was directly torn open by Chen Heng, revealing Zhu Hongying underneath, with both her legs broken.

“Tsk tsk tsk, how embarrassing, Hall Master Zhu.”

Chen Heng looked at Zhu Hongying, whose face was covered in blood but whose breathing was still steady, and couldn't help but chuckle.

“Chen Heng!?” Zhu Hongying's eyes widened, as if she couldn't die in peace.

“How about it, are you surprised?”

Chen Heng squatted down and patted Zhu Hongying's pretty face.

“Did you not expect that the Ghost Corpse Temple, which regarded Mortals as ants, would be wiped out by a mere martial artist like me?”

“I heard you even planned to have them help kill me?”

“Is there any truth to that?”

Chen Heng's face was full of playful mockery, not putting Zhu Hongying in his eyes at all.

that woman couldn't beat him even when he was in the Huajin realm, let alone now.

Even if her legs were intact, she still wouldn't last a single move under Chen Heng.

“How could that be.” Zhu Hongying forced a smile, trying to survive in Chen Heng's hands.

Zhu Hongying knew very well that the chances of Chen Heng letting her go were almost zero.

But one always has to try, right? What if Chen Heng had a moment of kindness and let her go?

However, there was one thing Zhu Hongying's brain still couldn't comprehend.

Why would the Ghost Corpse Temple, which she revered as a god, be completely annihilated by Chen Heng, a mere martial artist?

“Very good, it seems you don't resent me for killing your man.”

Chen Heng grabbed Zhu Hongying by her hair and lifted her directly from the ground.

“Tell me the location of the soul hook hairpin, and maybe I'll spare your life.”

Chen Heng's smile vanished, and he spoke coldly.

Ever since he joined the Five Spirits Gang, that woman had constantly caused him trouble.

If it hadn't been an emergency at the time, Chen Heng would never have given her a chance to escape.

“Hehe, it seems you also covet the Hundred Corpse Tomb.” Zhu Hongying chuckled after hearing that Chen Heng also wanted the soul hook hairpin.

Now it was stable; as long as Chen Heng needed something from her, he wouldn't kill her for a while.

It seemed her life was definitely saved.

“What are you laughing about?” Chen Heng slapped Zhu Hongying across the face.

“Three counts, tell me the whereabouts of the soul hook hairpin, or I'll send you to meet Hook Dragon Sword right now.”

Chen Heng didn't have that much patience to play with her; either she spoke or she didn't.

Anyway, the Hundred Corpse Tomb didn't hold much appeal for Chen Heng; going or not going didn't make much difference.

He was completely different from Cao Jihan.

Cao Jihan relied on corpse transformation, so the Hundred Corpse Tomb was a great temptation for him.

But Chen Heng was different; corpse transformation was just one of Chen Heng's methods.

Even if he lost the Hanba Body, Chen Heng still had other methods.

“Big Brother Chen, leave it to me.” Bai Jun walked to Chen Heng's side and patted his arm.

“What, you also know soul-searching techniques?” Chen Heng looked at Bai Jun with some doubt.

It seemed quite reasonable for this kid to know a soul-searching technique.

After all, he was a practitioner of Dao, right? Yes, it must be correct.

“It's not a soul-searching technique; it's a Medicinal Pill I concocted myself when I was bored on Wuwu Mountain.”

Bai Jun scratched his head and pulled out a black porcelain bottle from his waist pocket.

“This Medicinal Pill is quite potent; after taking it, you won't know anything.”

“You'll answer whatever anyone asks.”

“A truth serum, huh.” Chen Heng had thought it was some immortal technique.

Turns out it was still the traditional method of drugging.

“Give me the Medicinal Pill.” Chen Heng took the bottle of Medicinal Pill from Bai Jun's hand, poured out two, and stuffed them into Zhu Hongying's mouth.

that woman's mouth was really stubborn; she refused to open it no matter what.

“It'll be a bit difficult if she doesn't eat it.” Bai Jun frowned, thinking of a solution.

“That's not hard.” Chen Heng pinched Zhu Hongying's neck with one hand and flicked her front teeth with the other.

“Ah!” A piercing scream rang out, and Zhu Hongying's four front teeth were shattered by Chen Heng's flick.

“Just the right size.” Chen Heng picked up the Medicinal Pill, gestured with it at Zhu Hongying's mouth, and then stuffed it in.

But that woman still wouldn't swallow, just staring at Chen Heng.

“Sigh…”

Chen Heng sighed and punched her in her lower abdomen.

“Ah!”

Another scream.

Taking advantage of her open throat during the scream, the two Medicinal Pills smoothly slid into her stomach.

“See, isn't that solved?” Chen Heng let go, and Zhu Hongying, convulsing from pain, huddled on the ground, trembling.

“…”

“It is indeed solved.”

The Medicinal Pill's potency was indeed strong; within a minute, Zhu Hongying began to convulse all over.

Immediately after, when her convulsions reached their peak, her body went limp like a puddle of mud.

“Is it taking effect?”

Chen Heng turned his head and asked Bai Jun.
