Those who approached them screamed and flew backward, groaning on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Only the gatekeeper stumbled backward a dozen steps, his back slamming against the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, yet he was still able to stand.

“Since you refuse to lead the way, I will have to personally deliver the body inside.” Bian Lang smiled and stepped into the manor.

Gong Ruhu's corpse followed closely behind.

The gatekeeper wanted to send a signal, but he was too weak to do so and slid down the wall to the ground.

Upon entering the village, I realized that Gongjia Village was truly enormous.

Shangguan Hongyu looked around and sighed, "This is bigger than the palace."

Bian Lang laughed and said, "In this remote place, the least valuable thing is land."

In fact, land was practically worthless in this vast empire.

If you have enough ability, you can easily carve out a piece of land and live like a local tyrant, which is perfectly normal.

"Who goes there?" Before they had gone far, they heard someone shouting angrily in the darkness.

There are still many people patrolling the village.

Upon spotting Bian Lang and his group, they immediately shouted to stop them and gathered around.

This time, Shangguan Hongyu wasted no time and directly exerted her power to blast all of these guys away, rendering them unable to resist.

Today's Shangguan Hongyu is no longer the chivalrous heroine who roamed the martial world, but an old demon with ten thousand years of cultivation.

Even if the Nascent Soul Ancestor came, he couldn't do anything to Shangguan Hongyu.

Before entering the inner courtyard, one can hear the sounds of string and wind instruments from afar.

Upon entering, one sees a group of dancers gracefully performing.

Meanwhile, in a pavilion on one side, an elderly man in his sixties sat in the laps of three stunningly beautiful women, watching with great interest.

"Master Gong has quite the refined taste!" Bian Lang exclaimed.

The elderly man in his sixties was the head of the Gong family manor. Hearing the voice, he looked up and frowned slightly.

What are those guards doing, letting strangers into the inner courtyard?

With a wave of his hand, Master Gong ordered the dancers to step aside and the music to stop abruptly.

Master Gong remained calm, after all, this was Gong Family Manor, his territory, and no one dared to cause trouble here.

“Master Gong, I’ve brought your son’s body home for you. Please sign for it,” Bian Lang said again.

Master Gong's face twitched, and he asked in a cold voice, "What did you say?"

Bian Lang shook the Soul-Capturing Bell, and Gong Ruhu's corpse headed straight toward Master Gong.

Two guards appeared from behind and tried to stop Gong Ruhu.

But Master Gong waved his hand to stop him and walked towards Gong Ruhu himself.

He could still recognize his own son.

"Ruhu, what's wrong with you?" Master Gong asked in a trembling voice as he approached.

Shangguan Hongyu said, "I already said it's a corpse."

"Nonsense! How could a corpse walk on its own?" Master Gong rebuked angrily.

Shangguan Hongyu chuckled and said, "Otherwise, do you think corpse drivers carry corpses on their backs?"

Master Gong naturally didn't believe it. He ripped the talisman off the corpse's forehead, revealing a mangled, mushy face.

Upon suddenly seeing such a face, Master Gong was so frightened that he let out a ghostly scream.

But he quickly calmed down and was still able to recognize that the person standing in front of him was his son.

With his head smashed like that, there's no way he could still be alive.

"Did you kill my son?" Master Gong asked angrily.

Bian Lang said speechlessly, "If we had killed them, we could have just dumped them in some forest. Why would we have gone to all this trouble to bring them to you?"

While this statement makes a lot of sense, it's hard to guarantee that the real culprit isn't thinking the same thing, just to cover up their murderous act.

Regardless, the two people in front of us must die.

"You may kill yourselves," said Master Gong, who felt he had been very merciful.

If he were to take action, he would definitely not let these two die a comfortable death.

Shangguan Hongyu chuckled and said, "Master Gong, aren't you going to ask how we got in?"

Master Gong has always been puzzled by this and has already sent people to investigate.

After all, it's quite a long way to get here from outside the village.

Even if a master were to arrive, it wouldn't be possible for them to appear silently in the inner courtyard.

The servant returned quickly, his face filled with fear, and said in a trembling voice that all the guards outside were dead.

Although no one died, all the highly skilled guards lay on the ground, half-dead.

Master Gong's face darkened, and he said, "You two are truly hiding your true abilities."

The fact that they were able to sneak in unnoticed is enough to demonstrate their strength.

Now, Master Gong must carefully consider how to deal with these two.

"I don't know where my Gong family has offended you two, that you must kill my son first and then cause trouble in the manor?" The Gong family head's voice was low and his face was ashen.

Bian Lang said, "We didn't kill your son, and we didn't intend to cause any trouble. We just brought the body over. On the contrary, you've been making false accusations."

Master Gong's face was gloomy; he naturally didn't believe Bian Lang's words.

Now he is increasingly certain that his beloved son was killed by these two men.

They killed someone, then brought the body over, and brazenly denied the murder. To bully someone to this extent is truly despicable.

However, to achieve this, one needs to possess extremely strong capabilities.

"I now fully believe that the two of you are not the murderers of my son. Please leave my son's body here. I will have my servants prepare some wine and food, and I hope..." Master Gong's mind raced, and he decided to change his strategy.

Bian Lang laughed and said, "Wouldn't it have been better if we had done this earlier? Why did it have to turn out so unpleasant?"

Master Gong was determined to poison the food and wine; only by killing these two men could his beloved son rest in peace.
