"Then hurry up and tell me, or he'll lose a sliver of his life."

The young man spoke slowly and deliberately, in his view, the lives of these mortals were utterly insignificant.

Shen Zhoucheng quickly recounted the story of the fifth sister.

After listening to Shen Zhoucheng's words, the young man simply said, "Then do you know where they are now?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhoucheng simply shook his head and said, "I don't know where they are."

Upon hearing this, the young man said nothing more, but gestured for action. The burly man grinned and suddenly exerted force in his hand.

Shen Jianxing's neck was easily crushed like a withered branch, and the crisp "crack" sound was particularly jarring in the silent yet bloody atmosphere.

This scene completely extinguished the light in Shen Zhoucheng's eyes.

He let out a heart-wrenching scream, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and collapsed into the chair.

Just as the group was preparing to attack the others in the courtyard.

"I know where she is."

A voice suddenly rang out.

The young man looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thin woman standing in the courtyard.

She was dressed in plain clothes, her hair was casually draped over her shoulders, her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes were surprisingly calm.

"Then tell me, where is she now?"

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately became interested and asked a question.

Xia Lingyi looked at the courtyard full of corpses, her eyes showing no fear.

In the months following Shen Shuchou's death, Wang Lan also passed away from immense grief!

With the passing of the two most important people to Xia Lingyi, she had long since lost the will to live.

She spent her days like a walking corpse, hiding in her room, and she also wanted to end her life completely.

However, she was waiting for someone, waiting for someone to arrive.

And now, this person has arrived, but she has also brought with her this courtyard filled with blood.

Xia Lingyi slowly took a step forward, her lifeless eyes fixed on the young man, and said, "She has arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man sensed something was wrong and quickly released his divine sense to search his surroundings.

Just as he was about to speak, a scream rang out.

"what!"

The scream came from the burly man, whose right hand, which had been holding Shen Jianxing, had vanished.

Blood gushed out from the severed arm like a fountain, splashing onto the ground and mixing with the blood of those who had been there before, forming a horrifying pool of blood.

At the same time, a slender figure appeared beside Xia Lingyi like a ghost.

The person who arrived was none other than Fifth Shushuang, who had been missing for a long time. Her face was still cold and beautiful, but her eyes had lost the liveliness they used to have.

She gazed silently at Shen Jianxing, who lay lifeless before her, her voice low and hoarse: "I'm too late."

"Actually, you shouldn't have come, and you shouldn't have shown up at all. Although you're here now, I'd rather you died here."

Xia Lingyi said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Fifth Shu Shuang's body trembled slightly, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

She was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Mother! Are you alright?"

A sarcastic smile immediately appeared on Xia Lingyi's lips, a smile as cold as the winter wind, chilling one to the bone.

She said coldly, "Thanks to you, the Queen Mother is already gone."

Upon hearing this, Fifth Shushuang's body trembled violently, as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer.

Her eyes dimmed instantly, her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a sound, and she stood frozen in place.

"Fifth Book Double, it really is you."

At this moment, a greedy look suddenly flashed in the young man's eyes, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey. He stood up abruptly, his posture upright but unable to conceal his sinister aura.

Fifth Shu Shuang looked at him; she naturally recognized him.

This young man, named Si Bai, was the third true disciple of the Haoyue Sword Sect.

He was known for his ruthlessness and unscrupulous methods, and was a fearsome figure in the Sword Sect.

Where is Shen Xuejian?

Fifth Shu Shuang temporarily set aside her sorrow and stared coldly at Si Bai.

When Si Bai brought his men here, she had a guess in her mind that this was Shen Xuejian's place.

Shen Xuejian would never allow him to cause trouble here, so her first thought was that Shen Xuejian might be in danger under the pressure of the sect.

However, Si Bai's next words surprised Fifth Shu Shuang slightly.

"Junior Sister Shen has already severed her mortal ties, and now it's the perfect time for Senior Brother to help her remove these stains."

Si Bai's lips curled up in a smile.

"I only intended to try it out, but I never expected it would actually lure you out. This saves me from wasting any more time. Now that you've shown yourself, let's return to the sect together!"

Si Bai took a step forward, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

"If you want me to go back, you'll have to trade your life for it."

The fifth book reads in a cold tone.

"Junior sister, do you know that sects are searching for you and your sisters everywhere in the cultivation world? Only sects can protect you now, so please don't be so stubborn."

Si Bai took another step forward, ready to strike at any moment. He clenched his fists slightly, his inner energy flowing through his fingertips.

Fifth Shushuang was not buying his argument at all; her true energy surged around her like a raging tide.

She knew that she was all alone now and it would be difficult to protect everyone in the Shen residence. She planned to leave the Shen residence with Xia Lingyi beside her first and then make further plans.

"You can leave now!"

Xia Lingyi, who was standing beside her, seemed to have seen through Fifth Shushuang's thoughts, and she said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Fifth Shu Shuang immediately looked at her. Xia Lingyi met her gaze and continued, "My heart is dead. No matter where I go, I will still be nothing more than a dead person."

Immediately afterwards, a look of sorrow appeared on her originally calm face, like the cold mist of late autumn, filled with endless grief.

"Fifth Book Shuang, I never liked you from the very beginning."

Xia Lingyi's voice was low and slow.

"I know."

The fifth book is a tacit agreement.

Recalling their first meeting, she, still a young girl, keenly sensed the hostility emanating from Xia Lingyi.

"I really hate you, I want you dead, I want to kill you, but I know I can't."

As Xia Lingyi spoke, tears welled up again in her eyes, which had long since dried up like an ancient well, and streamed down her pale cheeks.

"You stole Brother Shen away, but you didn't cherish him properly."

Her voice trembled slightly, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"sorry!"

Upon hearing this, Fifth Shu Shuang felt a pang of pain in her heart. She, too, was heartbroken by Shen Shu Chou's death.

"Your apologies are useless to me. Only your death can ease the hatred in my heart."

Xia Lingyi said sarcastically.

But then she felt tired, as if all her strength had been exhausted during this outpouring of her emotions.

She waved her hand slightly, her voice weary and weak: "Go! I don't care about your life or death, but if you can, I hope you can kill them. That would be your way of giving the Shen family an explanation."

After saying this last sentence, Xia Lingyi closed her eyes and remained silent.

Fifth Shu Shuang remained silent for a moment, then parted her lips slightly and said, "I will."

"Now that we've finished talking, Junior Sister, are you ready to return to the sect with Senior Brother?"

At this moment, Si Bai had already approached the fifth book and was within three steps of it.

If Fifth Shushuang refuses, he will not hesitate to take action. With his cultivation at the Void Realm, taking down Fifth Shushuang at such close range would be a piece of cake for him.

But Si Bai was destined to underestimate the current Fifth Shu Shuang. The next second, a dazzling white light instantly filled his vision, so bright that it was almost impossible to open his eyes.

Si Bai's expression changed, and he quickly took action to defend himself, frantically circulating his inner energy in an attempt to dispel the sudden light.

But they discovered that the bright light was just a feint, and when the light faded, Fifth Shushuang was nowhere to be seen.

At the same time, a cold voice rang in his ear: "If you want me to go back, you'll have to pay with your life!"

Si Bai locked onto the direction of the sound, his face darkening as he said, "Chase them."

Then, the five figures shot off like arrows, one after the other towards the horizon, leaving behind blurry afterimages in the air.
