In the quiet separate courtyard.

  Shen Yi fetched water from the well, wrung out a towel and walked up to the rough-looking man with his head lowered.

  Looking at his bewildered and uncertain expression, as well as the comical ink on his face.

  "Not to mention, it really does look like it."

  He slightly raised the corner of his lips, and a hint of mischief flashed in his clear eyes as he teased the other person. He reached out to remove the pig nose and ears from Zhang Tuhou's face, handing him a towel instead. His voice was warm and soothing, with a reassuring calmness: "Wipe yourself clean first."

  "I..."

  Zhang Butou was stripped of his pig demon decorations, clutching a rag, his coarse face shaking nonstop.

  Then she rubbed her face with a towel as if venting her emotions, scrubbing off the oil and ink as if trying to scrape off a layer of skin.

  Seeing this, Shen Yi turned around and entered the house: "Now start from the beginning, say everything clearly word by word."

  He slightly turned his gaze, and his eyes returned to calmness: "Don't be pretentious, nor do you need to consider me. You just need to speak clearly, and leave the rest to me."

  As soon as this was said.

  Zhang Tufu's originally still robust body finally collapsed to the ground, his tall and sturdy physique like a small mountain trembling like a child, burying his head and wailing: "I didn't break my vow! I didn't break my vow! I never wanted her body, they did it on purpose! Forcing her to smash her head against the doorframe."

  Although his words were in disarray and his emotions collapsed.

  Shen Yi remained silent and listened intently, taking off his outer garment: "Is there a rule at the Golden Gate?"

  "It didn't exist before, and it doesn't now. The rule only applies to direct disciples, I am a direct disciple... but I haven't broken the rules! The child isn't mine!"

  Zhang Tutou raised his head with a scowl, his turbid eyes filled with despair.

  Shen Yi put on the brand new yin-yang fish moxie shirt, and suddenly remembered that the other party had mentioned before that when they first entered the sect, they were also a genius, and were taken in as a personal disciple. However, later on, they offended someone and were unable to obtain the Jade Liquid Realm martial arts for many years, being suppressed all this time, and could only research and develop half of the Golden Sun Eight Treasures Mysterious Body on their own.

  "Yuan Gang and his brother both joined the Diamond Gate, but his older brother died outside Qingzhou City. He suspected me because I was also nearby at the time, but there was no evidence. Yuan Zhi and I had always gotten along well, with neither grudges nor conflicts of interest... The only thing is that he has been secretly manipulating his master, targeting me in private."

  Zhang Butou seemed to be lost in thought, and got up unsteadily from the ground.

  "So they wronged you?"

  Shen Yi tidied up her yin-yang fish long shirt and took out that ferocious wolf swallowing the moon cloak.

  "No, Yuan Zhi is the one I killed."

  Zhang Tutou's expression was numb, and his two large palms instantly clenched into fists: "I didn't want to recite Buddhist scriptures at first, but I got drunk and was bored for a moment. I heard that Yuanchi took a group of good men to cultivate their bodies and minds, so I chased after him to make fun of him."

  "I saw... he had imprisoned over a dozen people, tied up like pigs, all with lost souls and filthy appearances. He extracted the essence of men's yang energy and women's yin blood to bathe his body... He practiced the evil Golden Gate Body Tempering Technique behind my back!"

  "When he rushed out after discovering this, I was very flustered. Never had I thought that someone I lived with every day could reveal such a cold and sinister expression. My heart was burning with anger, and in the heat of the moment, I ended up killing his dog. I almost died there too."

  "Most of the captives had been driven mad by drugs, except for one woman who was pregnant and couldn't give blood, so she was just locked up to satisfy Qing's lust. She was still lucid, so I secretly took her out and settled her in a remote village some distance from Qingzhou City."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tuhou's eyes welled up with two big tears that rolled down his cheeks, and his whole body seemed to have lost its vitality.

  Because he wanted to find a teacher for the child to read and write, he accidentally exposed this matter.

  "Yuan Gang Wuxue had just made some progress, and coincidentally came out of the mountain gate. They knew I was back, so they secretly followed me, saw that I went to ask about Shu Xun's affairs, and found that village by following the trail. They planned to kill me under the pretext of breaking the rules."

  "She wouldn't betray me, nor would she tarnish my reputation... and yet she died like this..."

  "When I got there, he was already gone."

  "That doll is still in their hands."

  A faintly desolate and hopeless tone of voice, subtle yet lingering on for a long time.

  "Wiped clean? Follow me."

  Shen Yi stepped out of the house and headed towards the gate of the courtyard.

  Compared with Zhang Tuhou who was relegated to Baiyun County, he might know more.

  After the decline, the mysterious rise, a martial arts school, but suddenly erected a Buddha statue, built a treasure pagoda, in the eyes of others, it was to please the newly appointed governor, now it seems that there is another plot.

  Zhang Tutou stared blankly ahead.

  A golden filigree crown held back his hair, the young man's profile stood out, that yin-yang fish was quite eye-catching, a jade belt around his waist, wearing a gold-studded scabbard with a black light knife, a fierce wolf cloak billowed in the wind!

  Shen Yi pulled at his collar, a cold glint lingering on his handsome face.

  "Where are you going?"

  "Help those who should really knock themselves out to do what they're supposed to do."

  The young man's palm rested casually on the hilt of his knife, his footsteps steady as he gradually merged into the endless night.

  ……

  Jin Gang Men

  Facing thousands of emotionless Demon Vanquishing Heavenly Generals, who had almost completely blocked off the surrounding area, many disciples subconsciously dropped their weapons to the ground.

  "We have no dealings with evil creatures!"

  "Adults should be aware!"

  Among the crowd, looking at these martial artists with different attire, Hong Yue slightly furrowed his brow. This doesn't seem like they're looking for trouble either?

  However, those fake monks inside the precious tower have not shown up until now.

  What's wrong with your conscience?

  "Adults are really perceptive!"

  Many disciples were in a state of panic, and some timid ones had already fallen to the ground with weak legs, their faces covered with tears and snot.

  Among them, the most powerful ones are only at the beginning stage, and most of them are ordinary martial artists in the mortal world who have joined the Diamond Sect to learn martial arts, hoping that one day they will be noticed by the monks, tonsured and ordained, and obtain the transmission of the profound and subtle physical skills. Who has ever seen such a grand scene?

  Just then, a figure was suddenly kicked and flew over.

  With a loud crash, it slammed into the large vermilion door with copper studs, the white cloth was stained with blood, and its entire skeleton was shattered, lying on the ground with a faint cry.

  As soon as they saw his face clearly, many of the Diamond Sect disciples were so shocked that their cries were stifled, and they all held their breath.

  Is that Master Yuan...?!

  Before they could react, a figure emerged from the school building, walking slowly and calmly.

  The night wind is mournful and the big cloak is fluttering.

  The golden wolf's eyes swept across many school captains', attracting everyone's attention.

  They clenched their fists tightly around the demon-suppressing chain once more, etching that youthful face into their minds as they stood up straighter.

  Some things spread really fast, such as the Golden Eagle School Lieutenant's lingering fear after drinking, mentioning the story of flipping his hand to behead the Dragon and covering his hand to kill the Angry Sword Old Man.

  Adding to his prestige was his promotion to a high-ranking official in Qingzhou City, which lent even more credibility to his words that night.

  Zhang Tudou walked cautiously among these big shots, not even daring to raise his head. But after a moment, he found that this group of people seemed to be just as tense as himself.

  "If one day I am like this too..."

  Li Xinhans gaze was fixed on the slightly thin figure in the distance, and he felt a inexplicable sense of melancholy.

  He turned around to look at his sister, seeking some encouragement from her, but found the charming girl staring blankly ahead, her red lips slightly parted, her breathing a bit rapid.

  “……”

  Shen Yi calmly walked up to the door, reached out and grabbed Yuan Gang's clothes, pulling him step by step towards the long stairs.

  Dark red bloodstains were dyed along with his footsteps on the bluestone stairs.

  About twenty steps later.

  He threw away the round fan, straddled and sat on the stairs, with his arm casually placed on his knees, his clothes fluttering.

  Shen Yi's back was facing the tightly closed treasure tower, and he stretched out his other hand, raising his slender index finger.

  His face was as calm and peaceful as his voice, with no hint of threat.

  "A stick of incense."

  "I haven't seen the person I want, Qingzhou has no more Golden Gate."
