The villain's daily corpse collection

No matter how everyone tried to persuade him, Yuan Xiang wouldn't listen. He looked like a puppy abandoned by its owner. He sat in the middle of the room, his breathing becoming more and more rapid.

There was a brief silence in the room.

Wang Wei took out the communication device she had left for Du Ximiao and handed it to Yuan Xiang: "Du Ximiao originally told me not to show you what she gave me. But, since you are so pitiful, I will still show it to you."

Yuan Xiang seemed to have received some kind of instruction. He jumped up on the spot, took the book and opened it to read.

"Not long after you separated from her, she and her sister went to other places, but she didn't say where they went, nor did she mention anything about you. The clues she left behind at the end were also very strange. If you tell us everything you know, you might be able to figure out everything." Wang Wei suggested.

"I know even less than you do. Her Highness started planning a long time ago. As for what she was going to do... it was nothing more than for the supreme position. After she returned to the palace, her whereabouts were secretive all day long, and she usually only brought Xiaoyu with her..." Yuan Xiang recalled.

Huo Feng asked: "Do you know about the incident of the Eighth Emperor's son falling into the sea?"

"I know that they are starting to take action against potential heirs to the throne, but I don't know how far they have gone." Yuan Xiang shook his head in shock. "It is said that the barrier that seals the edge of the sea boundary has been damaged. I wonder if what I told you is the same thing?"

"The barrier is loosened? Is this true?" Jun Zhao frowned and stood up.

"I just heard about it yesterday and haven't verified the authenticity of the story yet." Yuan Xiang didn't dare to confirm that what Wang Wu, whom he met on the street, said was true, but he still conveyed the news.

"There is one more thing. I seem to know the whereabouts of the artifact that Mo Wei is looking for. Recently, many forces have come to Fuyuan City just for the artifact!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Wei. Before Wang Wei could say anything, there was a loud noise outside the inn.

Huo Feng immediately opened the window, and everyone looked out from the second-floor window.

I saw people wearing Taoist robes of different sects standing in the middle of the street downstairs. It was originally a sparsely populated street, but at this moment, a large group of people gathered around it.

Most of them were residents from the neighboring streets who came to join in the fun. A few were just passing by and, seeing the huge crowd ahead, guessed that something was probably happening and immediately joined in the crowd.

"Hand over the sacred weapon! How dare you, a little-known sect like you, get your hands on the sacred weapon! Don't you want to live?" one of them shouted.

"Heh, who the hell are you? How dare you point fingers at us? The artifact is in our hands, come and get it if you have the guts!" The other party was not willing to be outdone and even sneered at the other side.

Yuan Xiang looked at Huo Feng and wanted to ask if he knew what sects those people were from, but Huo Feng shook his head. Apart from the three major sects, the rest of the sects in the world have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Not many of them are famous, and most of them are similar and their strengths are comparable.

Large sects will have more resources. For example, Tianhe Sect has the successful ascended god Huo Feng, and a mysterious supreme elder. Lin'an Palace has the support of the ancestors of the Yangyue An family and the An family, and also has a very complex and close relationship with the royal family. Congshan Sect can squeeze into the top three because it reuses elite talents and gives more resources than it gets.

These are things that ordinary small sects cannot do, especially since the Heavenly Gate has not been opened for a thousand years, and no more divine tests or divine disasters have come. Now, the various sects somehow learned the secret that there are divine artifacts scattered around the world, so they racked their brains to find the whereabouts of the divine artifacts, and they actually found a clue.

"The divine weapon is actually in their hands?" Huo Feng murmured to himself. He looked at Wang Wei, but Wang Wei seemed particularly calm.

On the street outside, the two sides had finished their threats and had already started fighting, causing chaos all around. The onlookers realized the power of the monks and ran away. After all, they were just curious and did not want to lose their lives.

"There is no divine weapon." Wang Wei came to the conclusion quickly, but she was not in a hurry. Instead, she leaned against the window and watched the fierce fight between the two groups of monks outside with a smile on her face.

"No magic weapon? Then what are they fighting for?" Huo Feng was very puzzled.

"Someone here has indeed come into contact with the artifact. I feel a faint aura. They should be judging based on the aura." Wang Wei gave the only possible explanation.

Looking at the dozens of people fighting below, broken limbs and arms flying, blood spraying on the surrounding walls. Huo Feng couldn't help but say: "Let's go and stop them. It's not worth sacrificing their lives for something they can't get! And those disciples standing behind just now probably didn't want to grab the artifact spontaneously, but because they were in the sect, they had no other choice..."

Jun Zhao also stood up and said, "Let's end this farce quickly. Why not just ask them where the artifacts in their hands came from?"

Wang Wei sneered, "You've thought it through very carefully." She turned around and waved her hand, closing the window tightly. "Out of sight, out of mind. Isn't it over if we don't see it? I guess they won't fight for long before there's a result."

"Master..." Huo Feng still didn't give up and wanted to open the window to see what was going on. Wang Wei didn't stop him, but spoke directly, "Those who covet my things must pay the price. I don't need to ask anything. Since these people can fight for the artifact and kill their fellow disciples, they must be clear about one thing - their Taoism hearts have long been destroyed by greed, and there is no possibility of them achieving Taoism in this life. And those who can still be saved..."

Wang Wei opened the window again, and Huo Feng saw that the disciples in the back row who were unwilling to participate had left the battlefield without even drawing their swords.

"Everything is a personal choice, and everyone should bear the consequences of their choice. As gods, we shouldn't interfere. Now... we have interfered enough."

Everyone knew that the matter between Du Ximiao and Song Zuoru had nothing to do with Wang Wei, but due to fate, Wang Wei agreed to intervene.

As Wang Wei said, this is everyone's own choice. She chose to intervene, which was also her own choice, although she didn't know when the price would come.

Jun Zhao nodded: "I agree with this. If someone chooses not to join, they will live, otherwise..."

Everyone leaned out of the window and looked out. They saw corpses all over the ground and blood everywhere. It was a horrific scene.

All the disciples from both sides who remained in the battle died. One or two were still alive, but because of the continuous bleeding, they could only end up dead.

The crowd that had gathered around a moment ago had already run several blocks away. The bloody smell was too strong and nauseating.

Song Zuoru only took a curious glance and felt her hair stand on end. She had lived for more than 40 years and had never seen so many dead people, and they died tragically. She couldn't stand still for a while, and was supported by Yuan Xiang and sat on the couch beside her.

Perhaps because she had regained 70% to 80% of her strength, she was no longer as anxious as before, or perhaps Du Ximiao had gained more weight in her heart. Wang Wei said, "I think the most important thing now is to find Du Ximiao and make sure she is safe. Let's put everything else aside for now."
