It does give off a subtle feeling of government officials protecting a crime scene.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out, and another Yihua Palace disciple with a mid-stage Innate Realm cultivation level quickly dodged twice from a distance.

Upon approaching, the disciple from Yihua Palace who arrived later frowned and said, "I've looked all within a ten-mile radius, but I haven't found the old woman who was with the maid from Young Master Chu's household."

Upon hearing this, the Yihua Palace disciple with bloodstains on his fingers frowned and said, "I just checked. One of the bloodstains is already dry, and the other is not completely dry. They should have been left by different people. Moreover, the traces of battle around here should have been left by martial artists at the Innate Realm, which is inconsistent with the cultivation level of the maid in Young Master Chu's household."

The disciples of Yihua Palace who arrived later asked, "What do we do now?"

The Yihua Palace disciple, whose fingers were stained with blood, pondered for a moment and said, "The maid in Young Master Chu's house just returned seriously injured. It's very likely that this old woman injured her. We're obviously too late now, and we don't know where she's gone. It would be best to report the news to the Grand Palace Master."

The disciples of Yihua Palace who arrived later asked, "It's just a trivial matter, do we really need to report this to the Grand Palace Master?"

Upon hearing this, the Yihua Palace disciple with bloodstains on his fingers glanced at the other party and said, "If the Grand Palace Master punishes us, it's a small matter. Being careful is never wrong."

Another disciple of Yihua Palace, recalling Yaoyue's past methods, shuddered slightly before quickly nodding in agreement.

"you're right."

After discussing the matter, the two disciples of Yihua Palace used their lightness skills to move towards Yushui City.

After the two disciples of the Flower Palace left, the current leader of the Green Snake Gang and the leader of the Giant Sword Sect met together.

"What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? The people of Yihua Palace are afraid of their Grand Palace Master, but are you afraid of our Sect Leader?"

"Just kidding, the cult leader is so fierce! Killing us is like killing chicks, which one of us isn't afraid?"

"I'm afraid there's still too much nonsense going on. The two disciples from the Yihua Palace have already finished their analysis. We can just report what they said to the sect verbatim!"

"That's good! Your brain is still the fastest."

"If you fucking curse me again, believe me, I'll turn on you."

"Hammer is cursing you, that's his catchphrase. Oh well, I'll just pay for your drinks tonight!"

Meanwhile, at this very moment, in a small alley in Yushui City, several disciples of the Shenshui Palace, dressed in ordinary clothes, were moving quickly through the alley while looking around.

One of the disciples was carrying a tied-up sack on his back.

Just by looking at its shape, it gives people a heavy feeling.

When the group arrived at the back door of a house in the alley, they knocked on the door a few times in a peculiar rhythm before quickly slipping inside.

After a disciple of the Divine Water Palace cautiously peeked into the alley and peered around a few times, he quietly closed the door.

A moment later.

In the back courtyard of this mansion, the sack that the Shenshui Palace disciple had been carrying on his back had now fallen to the ground.

However, the sack had already been opened, revealing what was inside.

It was Dai Qisi, who had been outside the North City before.

However, Dai Qisi was unconscious at this moment, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth.

Inside the pavilion, listening to the report from the disciples of the Divine Water Palace beside her, Shui Mu Yin Ji's willow-leaf eyebrows gradually furrowed.

A short while later, Shui Mu Yin Ji asked, "So, she injured Young Master Chu's maid?"

The Shenshui Palace disciple who had reported earlier bowed and said, "Reporting to the Palace Master, this old woman slapped Young Master Chu's maid three times three miles outside the North City. Then Young Master Chu suddenly appeared and retaliated, injuring the old woman. However, we were worried about being discovered by Young Master Chu, so we didn't dare to get too close. Therefore, this disciple doesn't know the specifics of what happened."

"So after Young Master Chu left with that maid, we captured the old woman and brought her back for the Palace Master to decide."

Hearing the words of the Shenshui Palace disciple, Shuimu Yinji looked at the disciple with slight doubt and said, "Isn't this old woman in the mid-stage of the Innate Realm? Young Master Chu is only in the early stage of the First-Class Realm. How come this old woman is no match for Young Master Chu?"

The Shenshui Palace disciple said earnestly, "Although Young Master Chu's internal energy fluctuations are only at the early stage of first-rate, his speed is extremely fast, comparable to even ours. Moreover, he seems to have mastered a kind of sword intent."

Hearing these words, Jellyfish Yin Ji suddenly felt a strong sense of curiosity.

After a short while, Shui Mu Yin Ji couldn't help but murmur, "I didn't expect that Young Master Chu not only has superb medical skills, but also such high strength. He was able to fight and defeat a martial artist in the middle stage of the Innate Realm with only the early stage of the first-class skill. He should be about the same as I was when I was in the early stage of the first-class skill!"

After a slight flicker in her beautiful eyes, Jellyfish Yin Ji asked, "Have you found out the specific details?"

The Shenshui Palace disciple who was reporting bowed and said, "I was about to ask for details, but the old woman suddenly went mad and attacked me. It also seemed that the Yihua Palace disciple was aware of this, so I didn't have time to ask more questions. After injuring her, I brought her back for the Palace Master to decide."

Upon hearing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji turned her gaze to Dai Qi Si in front of her.

After her gaze lingered on Dai Qisi for a short while, Jellyfish Yin Ji suddenly sniffed and let out a soft "Eh."

Then, he raised his hand, and several streams of water gathered out of thin air around Dai Qisi in the sack, then landed around Dai Qisi's hands and feet, pulling her to his front.
