Mu Hanyan’s sword slowly thrust forward, carrying that hatred and sorrow.
"I... have no grudges against you, why..." Blood gushed forth, pain and a bone-chilling cold flooded in, Jian Zhongtian looked at Mu Hanyan, bewildered, his body convulsing, his gaze gradually turning gray.
Mu Hanyan coldly glanced at Jian Zhongtian’s gradually cooling corpse but did not retract her sword. Instead, she turned to leave for other parts of the mansion.
"Yo ho, is it done? Pretty ruthless," Star Illusion Thousand Machine started flashing characters again, "but I like it."
Mu Hanyan said nothing and roamed the mansion, slaughtering everyone remaining without sparing a single life.
"In my past life, I slaughtered his entire house in this manner," Mu Hanyan, drenched in blood, stood at the doorway, her voice somewhat somber.
"Oh? Aren’t you worried about mistakenly killing the innocent?" Star Illusion Thousand Machine asked.
"It would have been nice if there were an innocent person in this mansion, then perhaps in my previous life..." Mu Hanyan’s eyes grew colder. Everyone in this mansion was Jian Zhongtian’s person, accustomed to committing atrocities and ultimately even taking pleasure in them.
After Mu Hanyan had killed everyone in the mansion, she set it on fire, sneaked back into the city, and changed back into male attire. Back in her room, she treated her wounds before sinking into a deep sleep.
That night, Mu Hanyan slept particularly sweetly.
In the morning, after freshening up, Mu Hanyan leisurely enjoyed a lavish breakfast. Xixi, looking shocked, came in from outside, "Young Master, Young Master, something terrible has happened."
"What happened?" Mu Hanyan took a bite of her bun and asked, her words muffled.
"Lord Jiang’s entire household, dozens of them, are all dead," Xixi gestured with her arms and legs, speaking astonished, "This news has spread all over the city this morning; now Lord City Master has sent people to investigate the mansion."
"Who is it?" Mu Hanyan looked clueless, then bowed her head to eat her dumplings.
"It’s that respected Lord Jiang Zhongtian. He retired recently and came back to Heishi City to live out his years. Who knows whether it was enemies or bandits, but they massacred Lord Jiang’s entire household. Who could be so heartless and ruthless?" Xixi spoke indignantly, then clenched her fists, her face filled with anger. For more chapters visit N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Mu Hanyan continued eating her dumplings, internally commenting, quite embarrassed, that the heartless and ruthless one was right in front of her, leisurely eating dumplings.
"Anyway, the whole of Heishi City is shocked. Ah, it’s terrifying," Xixi murmured.
That day, the entire Heishi City discussed the massacre and condemned the merciless murderer; many even vowed to catch the murderer and avenge Lord Jiang. After all, Jiang Zhongtian was formerly a senior official at court with quite a reputation.
Mu Hanyan wasn’t interested in that, instead, she went to Mu Hanfeng’s yard to find someone.
"Has Han Feng returned?" Mu Hanyan, recalling the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique she had just learned yesterday, walked into her brother’s yard, and suddenly looked up, seeing Mu Hanfeng’s Maid passing by, she grabbed her and asked.
When she had come back from Long Yan Mountain, she had wanted to return the Cold Sky Sword to him, but he was not there, and seeing this maid, Mu Hanyan remembered it again.
"No, Young Master, please no!" The maid, terrified and losing her composure, screamed in panic.
From the moment she saw Mu Hanyan, she had been on edge, praying silently in her mind: do not see me, do not see me, do not see me. Finally, her prayers seemed to work as Mu Hanyan truly didn’t see her. But just as the two brushed past each other, and she was secretly relieved, Mu Hanyan suddenly grabbed her, the horror in her heart imaginable.
