As the two were talking sweetly, Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly heard a scream from inside the hotel. Liu Xiaoyuan and Lu Siyao exchanged a glance and immediately sat up in bed.

"What happened?" Lu Siyao glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, then immediately threw off the blanket and put on her clothes and pants that had fallen to the ground.

Upon hearing the scream, Lu Siyao, a police officer, immediately knew that something serious had happened.

Liu Xiaoyuan followed closely behind Lu Siyao and handed the clothes to the bed. From the scream, it was clear that someone had encountered something terrible.

The two of them put on their clothes and immediately left the room, following the direction from which the sound came to the door of another room.

"Was the sound coming from this room?" Lu Siyao asked Liu Xiaoyuan.

Liu Xiaoyuan nodded. After receiving confirmation, Lu Siyao didn't hesitate and kicked the door open.

After the door to the room was kicked open, Liu Xiaoyuan went inside. He saw a woman lying dead on the bed, seemingly killed by having her throat slit. When the man in the room saw Liu Xiaoyuan and Lu Siyao enter, he gave them a strange smile and then jumped out of the window and ran away.

Liu Xiaoyuan could tell at a glance that the man was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

"Hmph!" Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly. If he let this late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator escape from his sight, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

When the man dared to jump out of the window to escape, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately shouted, "Trying to escape? No way!"

Liu Xiaoyuan used his supernatural power, and a pair of invisible hands immediately reached out to grab the man. Before the man's feet even touched the ground, the hands, which were formed by Liu Xiaoyuan's spiritual energy, grabbed his neck.

After Liu Xiaoyuan grabbed the man's neck, his expression changed drastically, realizing that he had met a master today.

"Come back here!" Liu Xiaoyuan shouted, and with a swift movement, he grabbed the man and pulled him back.

After returning to the house, the man immediately knelt on the ground and began begging for mercy: "Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life..."

Liu Xiaoyuan ignored the man and used his supernatural powers to imprison him in place, making him unable to move and escape.

Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan observed the woman on the bed. He saw that she had died from having her throat slit with a sharp weapon. The blood had stained the white quilt and sheets of the hotel red. If someone who was afraid of blood saw this, they would definitely faint from fright.

Because the woman had just been murdered, there was still a trace of blood flowing from her throat, and the entire room was filled with the smell of blood.

"Tell me, why did you kill this woman?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked the man.

Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the man quickly replied, "Reporting to senior, because this woman was dating other men behind my back and cheated on me, I killed her in a fit of anger."

One of the things a man finds most intolerable is being cuckolded by his woman, so it's understandable that a man might kill a woman for this reason.

However, when Liu Xiaoyuan thought about the strange smile the man gave when he and Lu Siyao entered, he knew the man was lying.

If he was simply cheated on by a woman, then he could have killed her. Moreover, there was no need to make her scream. Furthermore, the strange smile he gave when he jumped out of the window to escape is completely inexplicable.

Liu Xiaoyuan looked at him and asked with a smile, "Really?"

The man immediately nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, senior, everything I said is true, and I would never dare to deceive you."

Liu Xiaoyuan sneered and said, "What I hate most is when people lie to me and deceive me. If I find out that someone has lied to me, I will make sure they die a horrible death."

Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the man trembled with fear, a fact that naturally did not escape Liu Xiaoyuan's notice.

Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and looked at the man, saying, "I'm willing to give you another chance. I hope you answer truthfully, otherwise you know the consequences."

After hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the man hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, everything I said is true. Please investigate thoroughly."

Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly and said, "Is that so? You want me to investigate thoroughly? Fine, I'll show you how."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Xiaoyuan appeared in front of the man in a flash, grabbed the man's neck with his right hand, and said, "Believe it or not, if I use my strength now, your life will be over immediately."

The man said, "Senior, senior, I've told you the truth, why won't you let me go?"

Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Did you tell the truth? At a time like this, you still dare to lie to me. You're just asking for trouble."

After speaking, Liu Xiaoyuan exerted force on his hand, and the man immediately felt difficulty breathing, as if he saw death walking towards him.

"Can you tell the truth now?" Liu Xiaoyuan loosened his grip a little and asked with a smile.

The man saw the smile on Liu Xiaoyuan's face as if he were seeing the smile of death itself.

"Senior, I'll talk, please spare me, senior, I'll talk!" The man hurriedly begged for mercy. He didn't want to die. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his lifespan was many times longer than that of ordinary people.

Who wants to die? Even ancient emperors wanted to live forever.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me why you killed this woman," Liu Xiaoyuan said coldly.

Lu Siyao's eyes were wide open, as if she wanted to kill the man.

Upon hearing this, the man trembled and said, "I am a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. This woman was the cultivation vessel I found. However, she was very greedy and never stopped wanting more, so I just killed her."

Upon hearing the man's words, Lu Siyao was so angry that she kicked him, sending him sprawling into the air.

After being kicked by Lu Siyao, the man immediately got up from the ground and began to beg for mercy.

"A person like you deserves to die," Lu Siyao said angrily.

"Spare me, Madam, spare me..." the man kowtowed to Lu Siyao, begging for mercy.

Lu Siyao snorted coldly and remained silent, and the man immediately began to beg for mercy from Liu Xiaoyuan again.

Liu Xiaoyuan said calmly, "You indiscriminately killed innocent people, which is naturally unforgivable. Tell me, how do you want to die? Would you like it quick and painless, or would you like to suffer some torture?"

The man didn't want either; wasn't living a good life?

"Senior, I have a very important message to tell you. If you spare my life, I will tell you this very important message," the man said loudly.
