With Xue Lingxue’s plucking of the strings, the healing melody flowed through the venue. The audience, who had been excited by the thrilling scene just now, gradually calmed down and became peaceful and serene as the melody played.

This “Rejuvenating Pu Shan Melody” was completely different from the previous “Assisting Canglang Melody” in terms of emotions.

The divine power infused with true energy was only acting on Chu Liang alone.

He felt a warm and gentle energy flowing into his body along with the melody, concentrating at his wounds, countering the continuous damage and promoting the healing process.

Feeling the infusion of life energy, he gradually regained his calmness.

Although Lu Shi was a sixth realm expert, the power attached to his weapon was not something Xue Lingxue couldn’t eliminate. However, the process of elimination was quite difficult, which made Xue Lingxue secretly amazed.

The difficulty of dealing with this power could be seen from the strength of the person who launched this attack. And Chu Liang had actually fought against such an enemy and managed to survive.

He had been enduring such injuries while confronting Lord Ding Shan, a sixth realm expert, without wavering.

It was not an easy feat.

After a while, the melody came to an end.

The power attached to Chu Liang’s wounds was finally cleared away, the bleeding stopped completely, and although the wounds were not fully healed, they were no longer fatal. As long as he could cultivate and heal himself, recovery was only a matter of time.

“Thank you, Miss Xue, for saving my life.” Chu Liang opened his eyes and thanked her.

“It’s nothing. Hero Chu’s actions in punishing evil and promoting good are admirable. I only did what I could.” Xue Lingxue praised, obviously believing Chu Liang’s words after witnessing the scene just now.

In fact, all the audience present had already seen that Chu Liang’s words were not false, and the crimes of Lord Ding Shan’s residence were not fabricated.

On one hand, there had indeed been frequent cases of missing girls in the southern region in recent years, which served as confirmation. On the other hand, the eyes of the masses were sharp.

Right and wrong…

Some people might not see it clearly, and some might not want to see it clearly, but in the end, the majority of people could see it clearly.

“I apologize for disturbing Miss Xue’s performance. However, ultimately, the blame should be placed on the father and son who committed such heinous crimes… Huh?”

Chu Liang turned his head and found that the Young Marquis, who had been by his side just now, had disappeared. He was still bound by the Fuyao Rope, so where could he have gone?

He looked up.

He saw the Young Marquis, who was tightly bound by the turtle shell, crawling on the ground, struggling to move forward with his buttocks raised, like a wriggling maggot. After such a long time, he had already reached the edge of the stage. If he was given another melody, he might be able to escape under the stage.

“Heh…” Chu Liang smiled and walked over to pick him up.

The Young Marquis had wanted to escape unnoticed and survive, but it was too difficult. At this moment, he felt a chill on his neck, knowing that he had been caught again. Despair filled his eyes, as if he had just lost his father.

Although he had indeed just lost his father.

But perhaps being caught again made him even more sad.

“Should we hand him over to the court for punishment?” Lin Bei asked.

“Not yet.” Chu Liang frowned. “We still don’t have concrete evidence against Lord Ding Shan’s residence. If we hand him over to the court without finding a reason, Shu Mountain might have to take responsibility. We need to find solid evidence before handing him over.”

Upon hearing this, the Young Marquis suddenly laughed, “Hahaha, that’s right! You have no evidence at all! You are just accusing the royal family! You deserve to be executed! I advise you to let me go now, and I won’t pursue this matter with you. Otherwise…”

Smack.

Lin Bei immediately delivered a heavy blow, knocking out several of his teeth, and shouted, “Shut up.”

Then, Lin Bei shook his head, straightened his chest, and revealed a proud expression. “Just some evidence, I already have it in my hands.”

…

As the sun set over the Qinnan River, a distant melodious sound of a qin could be heard, and Xue Hu’s eyes lit up upon hearing it.

“Set sail.” He stepped onto the deck and ordered his subordinates.

The surrounding members of the Dongjing Gang immediately began to hoist the sails and set sail. The three large ships slowly started moving towards the center of the river. Once they left the Qinnan River and followed the Shen Zhao River eastward, they would reach the Eastern Region.

That would be their territory.

The entire South Gate City’s attention was focused on Xue Lingxue’s performance today. Their journey would be safer than usual.

Xue Hu stood at the bow of the ship, thinking so.

But just as the thought passed, a sharp cry came from the sky, as if it was the call of a divine bird, piercing and majestic.

“Hmm?” Xue Hu looked up.

What he saw was a ball of flames.

Boom—

An explosion shook Xue Hu’s senses.

The ball of flames seemed to have landed on the deck. He immediately turned around to look, only to see the flames fading away, revealing the figure of a tall and beautiful woman.

He had a vague understanding in his heart. When he traveled the martial world, he had heard this name before, but it was still uncertain.

So he asked, “Who are you? And why are you on my gang’s cargo ship?”

The woman didn’t waste any words, she just raised her eyebrows lightly and then shouted, “Kneel.”

Bang.

A pressure descended.

It was as if a huge wave was crashing down from the sky. Not only this ship, but all the members of the Dongjing Gang on the three ships, whether they were martial artists or ordinary people, all heard this not-so-loud voice.

And then they all knelt down.

No one dared to hesitate.

Rather than saying it was an order, it was more like a law.

Crackling… Only Xue Hu struggled, after all, he was a peak fifth realm martial artist, and he had a firm will from experiencing countless battles. He didn’t blindly submit to the pressure of a strong opponent. Although his knees made a creaking sound, he still resisted with difficulty.

But when Di Nvfeng saw this, she only raised an eyebrow in slight doubt, “Hmm?”As the low “hmm” sound came out, Xue Hu’s shoulders seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and he knelt down with a thud! Following that, with a crack, the deck shattered into two pits!

He was terrified because the pressure exerted by the person in front of him was different from the usual strong ones, it was the legendary Divine Phoenix pressure!

It was pure domination!

If it weren’t for this Divine Phoenix pressure, how could Lord Ding Shan have stood there obediently, letting Di Nvfeng kill him with a punch?

Indeed, it was that terrifying name, Di Nvfeng of Shu Mountain… In the hearts of many people in the martial arts world, she was a ruthless female devil who killed without blinking an eye.

Today, he had the misfortune of running into her, and he could only blame his bad luck.

When Chu Liang and Lin Bei caught up, they saw such a scene. Di Nvfeng was standing boldly on the deck, with three ships stopped in place, and all the people on the ships were kneeling down, as if welcoming the arrival of the empress.

This was expected, and the two didn’t waste words. They immediately opened the cabin, and sure enough, after removing some goods that were used to blind the eyes, they saw a large number of women hidden in the cabin.

They were all captured from various places in the Southern Region, and there were hundreds of them in the three cabins combined. Seeing the daylight, their eyes were filled with fear.

After a few simple words of comfort, they returned to the deck to report to Di Nvfeng.

“There are indeed captured women in the cabin,” Chu Liang said.

“Hmph…” A murderous look flashed in Di Nvfeng’s eyes, “You scum…”

With a flicker in her eyes, she raised her hand to kill!

Xue Hu saw her killing intent and looked up, “You can kill me… but can you tell me how the matter was exposed… otherwise I won’t die in peace!”

“Hey hey hey…”

As soon as these words came out, a strange laugh was heard, and a figure jumped forward, shaking his waist at him, it was Lin Bei.

“It’s you!” Xue Hu recognized him at a glance, his eyes almost bursting with rage, he couldn’t believe he was defeated by such a person.

“Do you think I was really a drunkard? Do you think I appeared there by coincidence?” Lin Bei had a wicked smile on his face, “Under the wise leadership of Di Nvfeng, the strongest peak master of Shu Mountain, the two intelligent and brave disciples of Shu Mountain had already seen through your evil plot. We came to Nan Guan City to break this big case. The day I pretended to relieve myself to steal information was the key to destroying you! Everything you did, none of it escaped the eyes of Master Di Nvfeng!”

Di Nvfeng nodded heavily: “That’s right, that’s how it is!”
