Fan Shunlai and Li Fu were utterly shocked when they heard this.

If we're stuck in that limited space and then released to kill people a few years later, it's better to die now.

Li Fu looked at Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu and said, "Your Excellency, my daughter is innocent. Can you spare her?"

Shu Jianyue glanced at Fan Yingtan and said, "No, because there is murderous intent in her eyes when she looks at Wuyan. Why would I let such a cancerous tumor out?"

Both Li Fu and Fan Shunlai looked at Li Fu, their eyes filled with warning.

Fan Yingtan dared not show any murderous intent at this moment. It was only when Wu Yan was fighting with his mother that he had shown it, but she never expected that he would be discovered.

Li Fu looked at Shu Jianyue and said, "Her spiritual vein aptitude is average, so she shouldn't pose any threat. But she is our only daughter. Could you please let her go and let her live or die out there?"

Shu Jianyue laughed, "You're really good at talking. Even the smallest ants can add up to kill an elephant. Do I look like a kind person?"

Li Fu wanted to say something, but Chong Jiu took them in without saying a word. "No need to waste words with them, just take them in."

“Yes, you’re right.” Shu Jianyue glanced at him, then looked at Yan Xi and Shu Wangtian and asked, “Where did Wuyan lose control? Take us there to see.”

Let's see if we can find that person by following the lingering evil aura.

It's best to eliminate this danger before Wu Yan has completely avenged himself.

Yan Xi wasn't with them at the time, so she could only look at Shu Wangtian.

Shu Wangtian led the way, heading west of the city.

Arriving at the bustling street, Shu Wangtian pointed ahead and said, "Wuyan lost control there. He was like a mad beast. If I hadn't reacted in time, he would have started killing people."

Shu Jianyue walked to that place, looked around, but couldn't see anything.

So she looked at Chongjiu. She couldn't sense the evil energy clearly, but he could sense the subtle evil energy.

Chong Jiu stepped forward and looked at the inn across the street. "Let's go in and take a look."

As soon as he said that, Shu Jianyue knew that he had discovered something.

After instructing Shu Jianyue and Yan Xi to keep an eye on Wu Yan, he went inside with Chong Jiu.

Wu Yan also sensed a trace of evil energy, but remained calm and did not experience the same sense of loss of control as before.

Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu entered the inn and immediately followed the evil aura to the second floor.

Seeing this, the waiter asked with a smile, "Would you two gentlemen like to stay at the inn?"

Shu Jianyue waved her hand and said, "I'm here to find someone."

Chong Jiu had already arrived at the door of the room with the strongest evil aura, and simply pushed the door open and went inside.

Because the room was empty, the waiter didn't stop them. He knew that even immortals could find the person they were looking for based on their aura.

So they went straight in, presumably because the previous guest was the person they were looking for.

Shu Jianyue looked around and asked the waiter, "When did the guests in this room leave?"

"It's noon today." The waiter looked at Shu Jianyue with a smile.

Shu Jianyue tossed him a spirit stone and asked, "Do you know which direction he went?"

The waiter shook his head. "I don't know. I'm a cleaner and rarely go downstairs, so I don't know which way they went."

Chong Jiu stood by the window and looked around. Then he flew from the window to the roof. Looking at the dense evil energy in the southwest direction, he transmitted his voice to Shu Jianyue and said, "Come out, I've found you."

Shu Jianyue immediately flew out of the window and stood next to him, following his gaze, but saw nothing.

Chong Jiu put his arm around her, looked down at the three people waiting below, and said, "You guys follow."

Before they could react, they dashed off to the end of the street.

Yan Xi grabbed Wu Yan and quickly chased after them.

Shu Wangtian glanced behind him before taking a step and following.

After they left, Qiu Baiyi appeared at the street corner, frowning as he looked in the direction they had gone.

Chong Jiu led Shu Jianyue directly out of Hongtuan City and traveled three or four miles southwest, where they witnessed a bloody scene.

Shu Jianyue stopped Yan Xi and the others from coming over and told them to wait for them at the city gate of Hongtuan.

Although Yan Xi didn't know the reason, she still obediently pulled Wu Yan and Shu Wangtian to wait there.

Shu Jianyue felt extremely uncomfortable looking at the scene before her.

Several skinned corpses hung from the rocky hill opposite, seemingly skinned alive, each with a look of terror on their faces.

The blood on the ground was still flowing, indicating that the person had only been gone a short time.

"If you don't like it, go stay with Xixi and the others. Besides, the smell here is too strong." Chong Jiu looked down at Shu Jianyue, who was frowning.

Shu Jianyue shook her head. "No need, let's go together. I can just hold my breath."

"Do you think no one noticed that he killed so many people at once?"

"Moreover, the bodies that died today were all from close proximity, almost one person every incense stick's time."

Chong Jiu glanced around, his gaze indifferent. He used his spiritual power to survey his surroundings and spotted a suspicious person about eight miles away.

"Let's go. If we linger any longer, we'll get covered in this stench."

Shu Jianyue naturally understood his meaning; he was afraid that if someone with ulterior motives saw this, they would frame them.

"Let's go then. I'll use my mental power to see if there are any suspicious people around here."

"No need, I see it." Chong Jiu grabbed her and rushed towards that place.

It landed right in front of that person.

The person who was squatting down digging up a medicinal herb looked up when a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. "You, what do you want to do?"
