Chapter 2248: Just Find a Place to Bury It

Ning Shu felt spiritual energy filling her body as she cultivated.

Eventually, Ning Shu stopped cultivating. By the time she stopped, she felt very hungry. She opened the door and saw Mei Wu holding a jar, which he wanted to pa.s.s to her. This is Qi Yis ashes.

Ning Shu didnt want to take it, so she said dismissively, Just find a place to bury it and dig it back out when your young miss comes back.

Ning Shu then beckoned a maid over and said, Tell the kitchen to prepare some food for me.

Yes.

After that, Ning Shu saw that Mei Wu hadnt moved yet and was still holding on to the jar. She asked, Whats the matter?

Mei Wu answered, You should put the jar in your room.

Put the ashes in her room?

Ning Shu refused. Go find a secret place to bury it and keep it a secret. If I suddenly miss him one day, I might just dig the ashes out and have a nice chat with him.

Mei Wu then took out a b.l.o.o.d.y sheet of face skin. This is Qi Yis face.

Send it to Elder Shen and tell him to preserve it. I have a use for it later, said Ning Shu to Mei Wu.

Elder Shen was a poison doctor who had a weird, s.a.d.i.s.tic temperament. He was very cruel, and he liked to use people as his test subjects.

Those who had committed serious crimes in the sect would be sent to Elder Shen to be test subjects.

People from the renowned righteous sects, who would occasionally come and try to provoke the Sacred Demonic Cult were all also made into test subjects.

Being a test subject was torture. In comparison to it, the pain of being murdered was brief. Test subjects were forced to drink all kinds of unknown medicine. Perhaps theyd live, perhaps theyd die.

If they survived, it only meant facing yet another day of being used as a test subject, until the day that they finally died.

It was a torturous fate.

In short, no one ever wanted to visit Elder Shens residence.

Then Young Miss, Ill bury the ashes under the peach tree and after that, Ill send the face skin to Elder Shen, Mei Wu asked just to be sure.

Ning Shu nodded. Thats right, get going.

The maid from earlier brought over food. Ning Shu was eating while sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion when an old man came over. He scowled fiercely at Ning Shu and said, You killed Qi Yi.

The old man was skinny and emaciated. His face lacked any flesh, and he gave off a gloomy aura. He looked at Ning Shu with a furious and vaguely murderous gaze.

This old devil was Qi Yis master. Back when Hong Yes father first brought Qi Yi back to the Sacred Demonic Sect, this old devil saw that Qi Yis spiritual roots were good, and forcibly took him as his apprentice.

This apprentice he had painstakingly taught was then suddenly murdered by Ning Shu. If she wasnt the daughter of the previous sect leader and the sister of the current one, the old devil wouldve directly killed her.

Ning Shu put down her chopsticks. Uncle Gui, Qi Yi was a spy planted in our sect by the righteous sects. I killed him for the sake of our whole sect.

The old devil refused to listen to Ning Shus explanation. You are not qualified to decide whether Qi Yi is a spy. You are even less qualified to kill him, and the fact that you killed him anyway also shows that you dont have any respect for me.

The bell on Ning Shus waist made a melodious sound as she stood up. Uncle Gui, you can rest a.s.sured, I will definitely show you evidence that will prove that Qi Yi was a spy.

Evidence, what evidence? Come with me to see the sect leader now! Even if you are the sister of the sect leader, you cant just kill my apprentice like this. The old devil stretched out his hand to lift Ning Shu by her collar, but Ning Shu dodged his hand.

Then Ill go with you to see my brother, Ning Shu said. Hong Ye knows that Uncle Gui has worked hard all these years for the Sacred Demonic Cult, but I also did this for Uncle Gui. If its revealed to everyone that Qi Yi really was a spy, wouldnt Uncle Guis position in the Sacred Demonic Cult inevitably be affected too?

The old devil stared at Ning Shu. You little brat, youre trying to trick me. Follow me to see the sect leader!

When Ning Shu and the old devil arrived in the main hall, Ye Hua was in the middle of eating. He was dressed in all black, and he looked oppressively powerful and cold.

When he saw Ning Shu and the old devil, he merely glanced at them indifferently.

Greetings, Sect Leader. The old devil and Ning Shu knelt on the ground.

Without looking up, Ye Hua asked, Whats the matter?

Hong Ye killed Qi Yi, the old devil said frankly. Qi Yi was also an important member of the Sacred Demonic Cult, but Hong Ye killed him just on a whim. This is inexcusable.
