72: You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you.

Xie Weilou said indifferently, “Continue!”

Li Huai said with a venomous expression, “Seeing them displeased me, and I wanted to kill them even more, so I faked an instructor’s order and told them to go to a mansion in the City.”

“As a result, those fools actually went. After that, I had people capture them and personally dug out their spiritual bones.”

“Why didn’t you destroy the bodies and erase the traces?”

Xie Weilou asked.

Li Huai’s smile widened, “They were arrogant because their spiritual bones were extraordinary. I wanted to dig out their spiritual bones and let their relatives and the academy’s instructors witness their bones being crushed, their internal organs being dug out, and them turning into corpses…”

“Transplanting spiritual bones is by no means easy. Who is the person behind you?”

Xie Weilou asked faintly.

Li Huai smiled broadly, “Sorry! You will never know the answer because you are about to die.”

Rip!

As soon as he finished speaking, a long blade instantly slashed towards the back of Xie Weilou’s head from a distance.

Xie Weilou immediately dodged, and the long blade flew past his neck, cutting off a strand of hair.

“Sir…”

Li Huai spoke excitedly.

On a large tree in the courtyard.

A Mysterious Person wearing a mask appeared. He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes coldly staring at Xie Weilou: “What a pity, just a waste. Fortunately, there’s still a mid-stage Territory Expansion Realm…”

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, “Is this fishing?”

“A little smart, but not much.”

The Mysterious Person’s aura completely erupted; he was a powerhouse at the Tuojiang Realm Peak.

That’s right, it was indeed fishing!

He was the one who truly extracted the spiritual bones of those eight people. How could a mere Xuanhuang Realm like Li Huai know how to completely extract spiritual bones?

As for leaving the eight corpses, that was naturally to fish, to lure some Tianquan Division members with decent cultivation. Unfortunately, this time, only Lin Qinghuang and a useless Xie Weilou were caught.

However, Lin Qinghuang’s bone structure was even more extraordinary. After dealing with matters here, he would go and deal with Lin Qinghuang.

Lin Qinghuang’s spiritual bones were even more coveted; once transplanted, they would surely create an unparalleled genius.

“Sir, stop talking nonsense with this waste, just kill him directly.”

Li Huai sneered.

Bang!

Xie Weilou slashed at Li Huai with his blade, the back of the blade striking Li Huai’s head.

“You…”

Li Huai’s expression froze, and he instantly lost consciousness.

The Mysterious Person moved, instantly pouncing on Xie Weilou. He slammed out his palm, and a palm print appeared, incomparably ferocious.

Xie Weilou smiled playfully. As the Mysterious Person pounced, he slightly tightened his grip on the long blade. The long blade vibrated and then suddenly slashed out.

Tear!

The Mysterious Person’s body trembled, and an arm directly fell off, blood splattering out.

“Ah…”

The Mysterious Person let out a shrill scream, his body was sent flying, crashing against a wall.

“You…”

The Mysterious Person’s eyes showed a look of horror.

A Tuojiang Realm Peak, having an arm cut off by a rumored waste with one slash, was this normal?

Xie Weilou’s figure flickered, instantly appearing in front of the Mysterious Person. He grabbed the Mysterious Person’s neck.

Bang!

Xie Weilou slammed him hard, and the Mysterious Person was smashed onto the ground, creating cracks in the ground.

“Ah…”

The Mysterious Person’s screams were shrill, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, his mask fell off, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.

Xie Weilou stepped on the Mysterious Person’s chest and smiled faintly, “Lin Qinghuang, done?”

Lin Qinghuang flew over, holding Lu Zhai’s head in her hand. She casually threw the head to the ground.

“You…”

The middle-aged man’s expression was terrified, and his body trembled.

At this moment, he understood that he had been tricked. He had wrongly estimated Xie Weilou’s cultivation.

This guy could easily defeat him, could he be a Dao Repository Realm?

But how was that possible?

Lin Qinghuang looked at the middle-aged man with indifference, “Lan Instructor of Xuan Yuan Martial House, what a classic case of ‘hiding in plain sight’.”

She had seen this Lan Instructor before; he was indeed the instructor of Li Huai and others, and also the one who reported the case this time.

This person had only displayed a Shackles Realm cultivation before, but unexpectedly, he was a powerful Tuojiang Realm Peak.

Hiding in Xuan Yuan Martial House and looking for young people with extraordinary bone structures was quite an idea.

Lan Instructor’s eyes were filled with venom, and he sneered, “This time, I, Lan, was careless…”

Tear!

Xie Weilou stabbed Lan Instructor’s chest with his blade. The long blade vibrated, and all of Lan Instructor’s bones were shattered, his meridians completely severed, and his cultivation was crippled.

“Ah…”

Lan Instructor’s body trembled, his pupils constricted, his expression was incomparably painful, and his eyes were somewhat dim. His cultivation had been crippled!

Xie Weilou smiled and said, “Too lazy to listen to your nonsense, I’ll cripple you first.”

“You won’t die a good death…”

Lan Instructor’s expression was incomparably venomous.

Lin Qinghuang said with an indifferent expression, “Transplanting spiritual bones requires at least a Dao Repository Realm expert to accomplish. You don’t have that ability yet. Tell us the force behind you, and I can give you a quick death.”

“Hahahaha! Kill me or flay me, do as you please. You won’t get anything from me.”

Lan Instructor sneered. His cultivation was already crippled; he was better off dead. What else did he fear?

A cold light flashed in Lin Qinghuang’s eyes, “I once learned a soul-searching technique. The process will make one’s soul scatter and be incomparably painful. Then let you try it!”

After speaking, she directly extended her hand towards Lan Instructor, and a mysterious force instantly injected into Lan Instructor’s head.

Since this person had seen Xie Weilou make a move, he naturally couldn’t be left alive.

“Ah…”

Lan Instructor’s body trembled, his face contorted, his soul seemed to be pulled out, incomparably painful.

Lin Qinghuang’s eyes showed no ripples, and she continued to increase the power.

This soul-searching technique was incomparably ferocious. Once unleashed, the opponent’s final fate would certainly be the scattering of their soul, never to be reborn.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Lan Instructor’s screams stopped. His face was distorted, blood flowed from his seven orifices, like a malevolent ghost. His soul was utterly destroyed, and he completely turned into a cold corpse.

Lin Qinghuang withdrew her hand. She looked at Xie Weilou and pondered, “This matter involves the Tianyin Hall.”

“Tianyin Hall?”

Xie Weilou had not heard of this force before.

Lin Qinghuang said, “Three years ago, Tianyin Hall appeared in Qiyin City. This force is very mysterious, with Dao Repository Realm experts guarding it.”

“According to Lan Instructor’s memory, he was just an elder. Within the Tianyin Hall, there are six other elders like him. They have always been involved in spiritual bone transplantation.”

She then said with deep eyes, “Moreover, I also learned from his memory that the disappearance of the Second Prince’s three hundred thousand taels of disaster relief silver is related to this Tianyin Hall, and it seems the Sixth Prince is also involved…”

Baihe River City was a county town under Qiyin City.

She hadn’t expected that the disappearance of the disaster relief silver was actually related to the Tianyin Hall.

Even more unexpectedly, Yan Wugou was also involved in this.

However, her soul-searching technique was not perfect. She only retrieved part of Lan Instructor’s memories, and some of his other memories were not extracted. Otherwise, she could have investigated the situation in Qiyin City.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, “The matter is clear! Let’s return to the Tianquan Division now.”

“Mhm!”

Lin Qinghuang nodded gently.

Xie Weilou seemed to have thought of something and added, “Qinghuang’s methods are truly malicious, just like a wicked woman!”

Lin Qinghuang was stunned for a second, then said playfully, “You should be glad that I haven’t used the soul-searching technique on you these past three years, otherwise you would have died long ago!”

“Thank you, Qinghuang, for not torturing me these past three years. Why don’t you be a good person to the end and let me see your legs?”

Xie Weilou stared at Lin Qinghuang’s beautiful legs.

Lin Qinghuang glared at Xie Weilou, “You said I’m a wicked woman!”

Xie Weilou: “You are a wicked woman, and I still want to see your legs.”

Lin Qinghuang: “…”
