Jade-faced Begonia
Recently, a female assassin, known as the Jade-faced Begonia, has appeared in Sifang City. Her beauty is pure and ethereal, and she is incredibly alluring. Many righteous men have fallen at her hands. Whenever she kills someone, she clearly announces, "I am the Jade-faced Begonia of the Divine Moon Cult." After each murder, she personally drags the victim to the grave and buries him. While filling the grave, she also drops an envelope on the body, bearing the inscription "Jade-faced Begonia Life-Locking Talisman."
Jade-faced Begonia claimed that even if they met the King of Hell, they would remember that it was she who took their lives. This shows that this person is not only cruel and ruthless, but also extremely bold, and has no regard for karma.
Bantianyue stood in front of the altar, leisurely looking at the girl in front of him with a bright smile.
"Have you finished killing them all?"
Leng Yue smiled, slowly opened the box in her hand, and poured the kill orders all over the floor.
"Good! You are ruthless enough!" Bantianyue patted Lengyue's shoulder and said, "You are much better than my adopted son named Sima Changfeng. I was right about you. With time, you will have a bright future! Haha ...
Leng Yue smiled sweetly, a smile that looked so innocent, romantic, and pure. Perhaps no killer had ever smiled like this before.
It's really creepy to see such a fresh and sweet smile appear on the face of a bloodthirsty killer.
"City Lord." Sima Changfeng and Shangguan Yan came to the imperial study.
"You're here," said Chou Doufu. "Have you heard about the Jade-faced Begonia that recently appeared in Sifang City?"
Shangguan Yan and Sima Changfeng nodded.
"I received a secret report that the Shenyue Sect is planning to get rid of a man named Gongsun Heng. Gongsun Heng's father is an important official in the court, and Gongsun Heng is the only son in the family, a single heir. Old Master Gongsun is very worried about this. Now Bantianyue has turned his spearhead towards the people in the court, and his intentions are obvious. If this murder succeeds, he will surely become more rampant in the future. Shangguan Yan, Brother Sima, you must stop Yumian Haitang's murder plan." Chou Doufu said.
"Yes!" Shangguan Yan and Sima Changfeng said in unison.
"Thank you for your hard work." said Chou Doufu.
Gongsun Heng is a courageous young man with a strong sense of justice. He is somewhat reckless, loves to be in the spotlight, and hates being challenged.
One day, he received a dart with the words:
"Tonight at midnight, in the woods outside the city. If you are afraid of death, run away. If you dare to come, I will take your life. Jade-faced Begonia."
"Hmph! I'd like to see this Jade-faced Begonia!" Gongsun Heng said angrily.
Gongsun Heng hurried to the grove in the suburbs, where the Jade-faced Begonia had been waiting for him for a long time.
"You really are a guy who is not afraid of death." Yumian Haitang said with a smile in her voice.
"Hmph, if anyone has to die, it's you!" Gongsun Heng said, "Today I will rid the Wulin of this scourge of yours!"
As they talked, the two started fighting.
Gongsun Heng's martial arts were too strong and too inflexible, so he couldn't gain any advantage. Leng Yue's martial arts were extremely feminine and gentle, and the ruthless sword in her hand was like a water snake. In a short while, Gongsun Heng was completely helpless. Just as Gongsun Heng's sword was about to be knocked away by Leng Yue, there was a loud "bang" and Leng Yue's sword was blocked and returned.
"Leng Yue, is that you?!" The situation that Shangguan Yan and Sima Changfeng were most reluctant to face happened.
Leng Yue turned sideways, avoiding the gazes of Feng Yan and the others, and said calmly: "The order to kill must not be violated."
"Don't you know martial arts?" Sima Changfeng asked.
"This is a different time." Leng Yue grinned, "Sima Changfeng, if you hadn't betrayed the leader and eliminated dissidents, how could it be my turn?"
"Lengyue, please turn back and stop being an accomplice to the evil." Shangguan Yan advised.
Leng Yue nailed the Merciless Sword to the tree, took out a dagger from his bosom, and said with a smile as he slowly pulled it out: "Does this knife look familiar? It's quite useful."
Shangguan Yan couldn't help but frown and said in an almost pleading tone: "Leng Yue, stop it."
Leng Yue snorted coldly, closed the dagger, pulled the Merciless Sword out of the tree, and said, "Come on, all three of you."
How could Shangguan Yan and Sima Changfeng have the heart to brutally attack her? Gongsun Heng, however, was foolishly bold, his every move aiming for Leng Yue's death. Although Feng Yan and Sima Changfeng didn't use their full strength, the combined strength of the three was more than enough to corner Leng Yue. Finally, Leng Yue's sword was knocked away by Shangguan Yan. Seeing this, Gongsun Heng raised his sword and stabbed Leng Yue's throat.
Leng Yue didn't dodge or evade, but just closed his eyes without changing his expression.
"Bang"----Gongsun Heng's sword was blocked.
Gongsun Heng was furious and yelled at Shangguan Yan: "What are you doing!!! Ah--------"
When he came to his senses, he saw that Leng Yue's dagger had already pierced Gongsun Heng's chest.
Shangguan Yan couldn't believe her eyes. In a moment of weakness, she thought she could spare her savior's life, but she ended up killing another person!
Leng Yue quickly pulled out the dagger, neatly shook off the blood on it, and put it back into the scabbard. Gongsun Heng's eyes were full of unwillingness, and soon his body softened and his eyes closed.
"Leng Yue, you..." Sima Changfeng also found it a little unbelievable. The gentle and kind Leng Yue turned out to be such a cold-blooded killer.
Leng Yue put away the dagger, took out the "life-demanding talisman" from his bosom and threw it at Gongsun Heng's face, saying coldly: "He is the son of an official appointed by the court. I will not bury him. You can take the body back to Huangfu Renhe for accountability."
After saying that, he picked up the ruthless sword on the ground and left.
Shangguan Yan's body began to tremble, and tears began to fall. She shook her head desperately and said, "No, this is not true... No... She is not Leng Yue..."
Sima Changfeng felt extremely distressed and held Shangguan Yan tightly in his arms, comforting her: "This is not your fault. It's my responsibility. It's not your fault, Yan'er."
Shangguan Yan and Sima Changfeng brought back Gongsun Heng's body.
In the imperial study, Chou Doufu and Ouyang Mingri were waiting anxiously.
Shangguan Yan and Sima Changfeng came back, and Sima Changfeng was carrying a person on his back.
Shangguan Yan knelt on one knee and said, "City Lord, I have failed to perform my duties properly. Please punish me."
Sima Changfeng put Gongsun Heng on the ground, knelt on his knees and said, "No, it's not Yan'er's fault. It's my fault, Sima Changfeng. It has nothing to do with Yan'er!"
Ouyang Mingri walked up to the body, placed his finger on the deceased's neck pulse, and said, "He's not dead."
"Is there still hope?" A glimmer of light flashed in Chou Doufu's eyes.
Ouyang Mingri used his finger to pick up a little blood from the wound, and sniffed it. "Immortal Muscle Softening Powder?"
Shangguan Yan suddenly remembered something and took something out of her arms.
Shangguan Yan pulled out the "Jade-faced Begonia Life-demanding Talisman" from her bosom and said, "This is the life-demanding talisman that Jade-faced Begonia always leaves behind when she kills someone."
"Be careful, it's poisonous," Ouyang Mingri took out a handkerchief from his arms, carefully held the envelope and placed it on the ground, carefully felt Shangguan Yan's pulse, then picked up the envelope through the handkerchief and smelled it. After confirming that it was non-toxic, he opened the "life-claim" sealed with blood-red wax.
There was a human skin mask and a letter in the envelope. The letter read:
"The Divine Moon Sect must eliminate dissidents and their orders must be killed. We have no choice but to resort to this last resort. Please report to Huangfu Renhe immediately. This is top secret. Remember this."
"It's her." Ouyang Mingri said.
