Deceived, the Mysterious Figure suddenly understood, but it was too late. The ones hiding behind the pillar—Qingtian, Ling Zhu, and Duck—immediately jumped out and blocked his path. "Little thief, what scheme do you have? Surrender now!"
The Mysterious Figure panicked, not expecting that tonight he would fall into a trap set by these people, who were just waiting for him to turn his neck this way.
"Enough nonsense! Let's capture him first!" Xiang Xueer exclaimed, her sword radiating a sharp aura as she leaped towards him. Seeing this, Qingtian and the others quickly joined forces to fight against him three to one.
Duck waddled to the side and plopped down on a nearby cushion. "Go for it! Don't slack off, Ling Zhu, I'm talking about you!"
That annoying Duck, not only failing to help at this moment but also making sarcastic comments. This guy's skills were indeed impressive; even without a weapon, he was not at a disadvantage against the three of them.
Such powerful internal energy! Every strike from Xiang Xueer collided with the vortex of internal energy he created, forcing her Azure Wind Sword away. Who exactly was this person that he came looking for the corpse of Azure Wind Sword One?
Xiang Xueer was baffled. The Mysterious Figure was dealing with the three of them and knew he couldn't be entangled for long. He clasped his palms together, releasing a powerful airflow around him. With a loud roar, he created a huge hole in the roof.
With a swoosh, he transformed into a shadow and swiftly dashed out through the broken roof, disappearing into the moonlight.
The air was filled with debris and dust. By the time Xiang Xueer reacted, that masked man had already vanished from sight. A whirlwind formed at her feet as she stood atop the roof, but there was no trace of him left in the air.
"Damn it!" Xiang Xueer angrily stomped on the tiles of the roof, shattering them. She hadn't expected that despite her careful planning, this guy had slipped away right under her nose. Although he hadn't launched any attacks, his cultivation level was extremely high. Could it be that he didn't want anyone to discover his identity?
"Hmph!" Xiang Xueer turned and jumped down from the roof. Fat Ancestor and Gunaara followed suit. "What an impressive guy! I thought he would escape from both sides; I didn't expect him to break through the roof."
Fat Ancestor had been watching for quite some time. "This person has substantial internal energy; he is certainly not an ordinary individual. Shirley, you don't need to blame yourself; his strength is likely above ours."
"Yes, that's true!" After returning to the room, Xiang Xueer gradually connected all the events together: the mysterious figure searching for Azure Wind Sword One's corpse must be trying to find something from him.
Suddenly remembering something, Xiang Xueer quickly took out a broken object from her belt. Azure Wind Sword One had clutched this tightly before dying. Could it be that this was what the Mysterious Figure was looking for?
All night long, Xiang Xueer couldn't close her eyes, her mind constantly racing with thoughts. Meanwhile, Lan Ran Qingtian knelt in the Spirit Hall, looking at his father lying in the coffin, slowly placing the lid back on. "Father, rest in peace. I will find the murderer and avenge you!"
In the early morning, Xiang Xueer's eyes had turned into panda eyes. When she arrived at the Spirit Hall, Qingtian turned around and was startled, stepping back. "Wow, Shirley, what happened to you? Did you not sleep all night?"
Xiang Xueer rubbed her swollen eyes and sighed, shaking her head repeatedly. "I thought about it all night; I really can't figure out what this small object is."
"Hey! I know you're worried about me. Like you, I want to find the murderer as soon as possible, but you also need to take care of your health!" Lan Ran Qingtian said with concern, reaching out to touch her darkened eyes. "Since there are no leads for now, why don't you take a short nap first?"
"Okay, fine. Health is the foundation of revolution; I still need to continue investigating later!" Xiang Xueer nodded and turned to leave when she happened to see Gu Liu Ma approaching with a bundle.
"Qingtian!" Gu Liu Ma greeted Qingtian. He turned around and quickly went to meet him. "Gu Senior, why are you carrying a bundle? Are you planning to leave?"
Gu Liu Ma continued to smile as he spoke. "Yes, yes! I've been bothering you for two days; I need to continue searching for the whereabouts of the Million Demon Army!"
"Oh, I see!" Lan Ran Qingtian didn't try to keep him longer. Gu Liu Ma walked up to the altar, took three incense sticks, lit them, and offered them to Azure Wind Sword One.
Xiang Xueer didn't want to be seen by Gu Liu Ma and intended to hide in the back hall. However, halfway there, she suddenly stopped. Strange—why was there a faint smell of blood?
She glanced sideways at Gu Liu Ma. The scent of incense somewhat masked the smell of blood, but her keen sense of smell could still detect it.
Xiang Xueer widened her eyes in shock; this scent was so familiar. The smell from yesterday's Mysterious Figure was surprisingly similar to that of Gu Liu Ma—no, it was almost identical. She was instantly taken aback.
Could it be? Is this Gu Liu Ma actually the Mysterious Figure from last night? How could that be? He had saved her life and held a prominent status as the second of the Holy Ten Exorcists.
Xiang Xueer felt even more confused. If that were true, why would Gu Liu Ma go after Azure Wind Sword One? What was he really doing searching for a corpse late at night?
"Qingtian, I will take my leave now. Thank you for your hospitality these past few days!" Gu Liu Ma bid farewell to Lan Ran Qingtian and turned to leave, but Xiang Xueer quickly stepped forward to block his path.
"Gu Senior, long time no see!" A smile immediately appeared on Xiang Xueer's face, but her presence truly astonished him: "Oh? Xiang Xueer, what are you doing here?"
Hehe! Xiang Xueer tilted her head and laughed. Last night, she had indeed injured the left arm of that Mysterious Figure, so she went up and firmly grasped Gu Liu Ma's arm: "I also came to pay my respects to Senior Blue Dye. I didn't expect to run into you here. How have you been lately?"
"Mm!" Gu Liu Ma slightly furrowed his brow but soon nodded with a squinting smile, reaching out to push Xiang Xueer's hand away: "Don't worry, I'm in good health!"
"Oh, that's good!" Xiang Xueer smiled insincerely and began to probe again, channeling all her energy into her palm, which was instantly countered by the powerful energy within Gu Liu Ma.
She quickly raised her hand, and a smile immediately spread across Gu Liu Ma's face: "Since you two have nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"
Gu Liu Ma turned and left. Lan Ran Qingtian was quite surprised by Xiang Xueer's earlier actions and hurried over to ask, "Shirley, what just happened?"
Xiang Xueer gazed at the disappearing figure of Gu Liu Ma, feeling certain that the internal energy she sensed just now was identical to that of the masked figure from last night; even the flow of energy was the same.
She slowly raised her hand and saw that her palm had turned a purplish color from the impact of Gu Liu Ma's energy. Upon closer inspection, Lan Ran Qingtian was astonished: "Shirley, what happened to your hand?"
Xiang Xueer brought her palm to her nose and sniffed it. Indeed, she had squeezed the wound on Gu Liu Ma. Although he had tried to appear calm, the smell of blood on her palm was unmistakable.
"Hmph, it really is him!" The corners of Xiang Xueer's eyes twitched as she turned seriously to Qingtian: "Gu Liu Ma is the mysterious figure from last night!"
