Chapter 1107: Chapter 1107: Wandering the Martial World with a Sword (Part 11)
His limbs kept retracting inward, as if soone was binding him with a rope.
Bai Ying struggled, but unexpectedly, his whole body fell to the ground.
In an instant, Bai Ying was entangled into a ball and fell flat onto the ground.
Creaaak—
The window was pushed open by soone.
A person looked inside through the window, just in ti to et Bai Ying’s gaze.
Bai Ying: “…”
Bai Ying struggled violently, but it was futile.
He didn’t know what was binding him, but the more he struggled, the tighter it beca.
The person outside the window clung to the window and jumped inside.
Bai Ying imdiately froze.
“You ran pretty fast.”
Chuzheng kicked Bai Ying, causing him to gasp in pain, “Who… who are you?! Why are you chasing ?!”
Bai Ying didn’t know where Chuzheng had co from to follow him.
Nor did he know what she had seen, but he couldn’t act out, so he could only say this.
Chuzheng squatted down to look Bai Ying in the eye; a very ordinary face contrasted with the striking white clothes, which made Chuzheng feel a bit annoyed.
A Good Person Card looks good in white clothes.
Chuzheng casually found sothing in the house and stuffed it into his mouth, then dragged him out the window.
Bai Ying was thrown so hard his eyes saw stars; by the ti he recovered, he was already in the Yang Residence.
The overwhelming sll of blood almost made Bai Ying nauseous—Chuzheng had dragged him here, causing dizziness.
There wasn’t a living soul in the Yang Residence, including the newlywed couple.
Yang Li lay at the door, fingers curled, seemingly trying to crawl outside, but unfortunately, he hadn’t crawled far before breathing his last, his eyes wide open in death’s refusal.
“You’re quite ruthless.” Chuzheng patted Bai Ying’s shoulder, unsure if she was praising or mocking him.
“Mmmm! Mmmm!!”
Bai Ying protested.
Chuzheng removed the obstruction from his mouth, and Bai Ying imdiately rebuked, “Who exactly are you?!”
Chuzheng pondered for a mont: “An eyewitness.”
Eye… Eyewitness??
Bai Ying was both angry and resentful, threatening her fiercely, “This has nothing to do with you, I advise you to not ddle.”
Chuzheng took out a candlestick from the house and lit it, the candle was a wedding candle, engraved with the word ‘joy.’
Though originally celebratory, in such an environnt, it seed sinister and eerie.
The candlelight slowly illuminated the surroundings, making Governor Yang’s face incredibly clear under the fla.
Bai Ying: “…” This person is crazy!
Chuzheng placed the candlestick on the ground and leaned against the door fra, leisurely speaking against Yang Li’s unclosed eye in death, “The last person who advised has two-ter-eight tall grass on his grave, how tall do you want it?”
Bai Ying: “…”
For so reason, Bai Ying felt as if her words were asking him: How do you wish to die?
The candle fla flickered slightly, casting a bizarre arc on the bodies on the ground.
“Why did you kill him?” Chuzheng’s gaze swept over his white attire, “Dressed like that, killing at midnight, are you afraid people won’t see you?”
Bai Ying remained silent, adopting an expression that said he was ready to face death.
Chuzheng’s gaze lowered slightly, staring at Governor Yang for a mont, then suddenly asked, “Were you trying to fra … Ming Xian?”
Bai Ying’s expression stiffened, but he recovered quickly, turning his head to the other side.
Chuzheng had been observing Bai Ying’s reactions, noticing his brief unnaturalness.

A fire broke out at the Yang Residence at night, spreading rapidly, leaving everyone unable to start rescue efforts. By daybreak, the entire Yang Residence had turned to ashes.
Governnt officials didn’t find any bodies inside, nor did they find any survivors.
It was as if everyone in the residence had vanished into thin air.
If one or two people disappeared, it could be said they were abducted, but an entire residence vanishing, could they have been abducted?
The governnt officials turned Liuzhou City upside down searching, but found no trace of anyone from the Yang Residence.
This was truly a case of dead without a corpse, alive without a person.
Yang Li was generally well-regarded, enjoying the affection of the people.
Who could have known that the entire family would be obliterated in a fire on his son’s wedding day, and everyone would disappear, status unknown.
For a ti, rumors spread wildly in Liuzhou City.
“So many people, how could they just disappear? I think they were burned to ashes.”
“They can’t have all been burned to ashes, can they?”
“Right, right, how big would the fire need to be…?”
“Who knows, it might not have been a normal fire.”
“Lord Yang was such a good person, who would want to cross him…”
The rumors beca increasingly absurd, eventually involving evil demons.
Outside the ruins of the Yang Residence, a man wearing a straw hat lifted his black veil, peering into the dark remains.
“Are you sure everyone at the Yang Residence was dead?”
Behind the man stood another person, with an ordinary face, dressed like a common folk, very inconspicuous.
“Sure, there were no survivors…”
“Heh, then who burned the Yang Residence? Where are the bodies?” If the bodies were there, they wouldn’t have truly disappeared into the flas.
“…”
This was indeed mysterious, and the person couldn’t respond.
After they left, others entered the Yang Residence, took away the bodies, and set the residence ablaze.
“Master, could it be Ming Xian?”
Originally, this incident was ant to fra Ming Xian.
“Him? Killing so many people, have you ever seen him take such trouble?” the man said, “This more likely seems intended to prevent us from framing him.”
Without bodies, there wouldn’t be the sword marks left on them to point towards Ming Xian.
“Master… what about the subsequent plans?”
“Forget it, Yang Li is already dead. There are people chasing him everywhere now, leak his whereabouts to those people.”
“Yes.”
–
Ming Xian stood by the window, looking towards the Yang Residence.
Everyone at the Yang Residence has vanished, now there are many incredible rumors outside.
Ming Xian felt sothing strange in his heart, he had said he would kill Yang Li, the wedding surely was a good ti, but he didn’t choose to go on that day, as he had a better ti to act.
But…
Now the Yang Residence has been burned to the ground.
Whether the people from the Yang Residence are dead or alive, he doesn’t know.
His actions over the years, one after another dead acquaintances, those who have ghosts in their hearts should have already guessed it.
Had Yang Li really gotten into trouble, or did he use the Golden Cicada thod?
Ming Xian adjusted his mask, fingertips touching the edge, and after a mont, turned to leave the room.
He rembered Chuzheng seed to have brought soone back…
“Sect Hierarch.”
Villain A and Villain B stood guard outside the door.
Ming Xian glanced at them, “Where is Chuzheng?”
“Miss Chuzheng is sleeping.” Villain A quickly replied, “Sect Hierarch, do you need us to call Miss Chuzheng?”
“Did she bring soone back? Who is it?”
Villain A looked at his master in confusion, “No, she didn’t.”
Villain B also shook his head in agreent, indicating Chuzheng didn’t bring anyone back.
Ming Xian frowned, did he hear it wrong?
“Sect Hierarch, would you like to eat sothing?”
“No need.”
Ming Xian instructed them not to follow, and went alone to Chuzheng’s room.
The door wasn’t locked; Ming Xian pushed it open.
The room was the sa as his, except the position of the bed was different, allowing Ming Xian to see the person on the bed as soon as he entered.
