Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Red Killing Order!

"You..."

Xiahou Rui painfully lifted her hand, pointing at Zhu Fei, her eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment.

She knew she was finished.

The fierce strike from Zhu Fei had completely severed her vitality; there was no chance of recovery.

Thinking that she, a daughter of the Xiahou family, would die at the hands of such a vile and insignificant person, filled her heart with bitterness and reluctance.

"Die! By killing you, I can also avenge Lian’er, whom you have harmed before."

There was no trace of pity in Zhu Fei’s eyes.

He drew his sword and instantly raised a finger, sending a strand of aura that pierced through Xiahou Rui’s brow, ending her life once and for all.

Watching Xiahou Rui’s body, whose eyes remained open even in death, Zhu Fei hurled a fireball, incinerating her corpse, and in the same moment, swiftly took her storage ring.

The next moment, after Zhu Fei had mostly erased the traces of the battlefield, he collected his Array Flag and swiftly left the area.

...

Shortly after Zhu Fei left, Jiang Yu also arrived at the scene with seven or eight people.

He held a piece of already shattered Soul Talisman in his hand, his face looking extremely grim.

Previously, when he had seen Xiahou Rui chasing Zhu Fei alone, he hadn’t been overly concerned.

At that time, he believed that with Xiahou Rui’s strength, even if she couldn’t defeat Zhu Fei, she should still have been able to protect herself.

But things had turned out contrary to expectations. Just when he had fiercely seized all the Pill Spirit Fruits and had killed everyone else present, he discovered that the Soul Talisman he used to sense Xiahou Rui’s safety and location had shattered at that moment.

This immediately alerted Jiang Yu to the possibility that Xiahou Rui might have met with a grave misfortune.

And the scene before him had just confirmed his previous guess.

Although Zhu Fei had tried to clean up the traces of the battlefield before leaving, Jiang Yu, who had been associated with Xiahou Rui for a long time, noticed the slightest clues that couldn’t escape his Divine Sense.

Thinking that Xiahou Rui had died miserably at the hands of someone as insignificant as Zhu Fei made Jiang Yu furiously enraged.

Xiahou Rui was, after all, a woman who had shared a marital relationship with him, and more importantly, her enchanting physique was irreplaceable for someone like him who was skilled in Dual Cultivation.

But now...

Every time Jiang Yu thought about this, he wanted nothing more than to flay Zhu Fei alive, extract his soul, and torture him to the extent that he wished for death but could not achieve it.

"Ahhh...! I, Jiang Yu, hereby vow that no matter who you are or where you flee, I will find you and torture you to death!"

...

While Jiang Yu was going mad over Xiahou Rui’s death, Xiahou Feng, who was in the outside world, had also just received news of the shattering of Xiahou Rui’s soul tablet.

She had just received this news from her family not long ago, and it had stunned her for quite a while.

She could hardly believe that her most beloved niece had perished during this trip to Wind Forest Valley, which was almost unacceptable to her.

Thinking of Xiahou Rui’s filial piety toward her, Xiahou Feng’s eyes, initially filled with confusion, gradually became murderous.

No matter who dared to kill a member of the Xiahou family, I, Xiahou Feng, will make sure you suffer a terrible death!

With that in mind, Xiahou Feng, filled with murderous intent, took out a Communication Pearl, input some messages, and then quietly awaited the arrival of certain people.

In no time, two men, also in the Nascent Soul Realm, appeared by Xiahou Feng’s side.

At this moment, they had already learned from Xiahou Feng about the demise of Xiahou Rui in Wind Forest Valley, and they all secretly felt astonished in their hearts.

Who exactly was it, to have such audacity, to even dare kill the young princess of the Xiahou family from the Ten Great Sects.

"Elder Yu, Junior Brother Lei, now that a core member of my family has been killed, I hope you can help me investigate the murderer when the time comes. If we find any clues, my Xiahou family will surely reward you both generously."

At this point, Xiahou Feng finally took the initiative to speak.

She looked at the two elders from the Taixuan Sect and Joyful Union Sect, and her gaze finally rested on Lei Wei, the elder of the Joyful Union Sect.

Lei Wei’s expression changed, and he said with a slightly dissatisfied tone, "Senior Sister Xiahou, what kind of look is that? Could it be that you suspect the death of Xiahou Rui could somehow be related to disciples from my Sect?"

Xiahou Feng shook her head, "Junior Brother Lei, you might have misunderstood. That’s not what I meant. After all, Rui’er was the fiancée of your Sect’s disciple Jiang Yu; I believe he would never harm Rui’er."

Having said this, Xiahou Feng’s expression turned slightly grim as she stretched out her hand and drew a portrait in front of the two.

If Zhu Fei were here at this moment and saw this portrait, he would definitely be greatly shocked.

Because the portrait Xiahou Feng was now drawing was none other than his own face!

"Elders, this person had conflicts with my Rui’er in the past. Back then, due to the implications, I had Rui’er teach him a lesson temporarily and did not kill him."

"Junior Sister Xiahou, do you mean...?"

Elder Yu from the Taixuan Sect, looking at the portrait, was the first to inquire thoughtfully.

Xiahou Feng nodded, then shook her head.

She spoke hatefully, "Whether this person harmed my family’s Rui’er, I am not sure, as I did not see him among those who entered the Wind Forest Valley. However, I suspect he could have disguised his appearance. Regardless, this person remains a prime suspect."

"What? Senior Sister Xiahou, are you suggesting that this person might have disguised his face and evaded your investigation?"

Lei Wei looked incredulous.

If this were true, then this person must be harboring a tremendous secret to be able to evade the investigation of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and he must possess at least a top-grade disguise treasure.

Lei Wei and Yu Hua exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of excitement in each other’s eyes.

Yu Hua directly said to Xiahou Feng, "Junior Sister Xiahou, just tell us how you want our help, and we will not hesitate to assist if it is within our capabilities."

Xiahou Feng, aware of the intentions of these two at the moment, had her focus obviously not on this matter.

Upon reflection, she finally nodded hatefully, "I hope that both of you can collaborate with our Xiahou family to first issue a red ’Killing Order’ against this person. If we discover him, I, Xiahou Feng, will surely repay you handsomely."

Yu Hua and Lei Wei exchanged another look, this time their expressions carrying a hint of solemnity.

Because they were well aware that the so-called red ’Killing Order’ was a highest-level killing order only issued with the participation of all Three Great Sects and their joint signing.

Its scope spanned the entire Tianhua Domain.

From the beginning to present, the Tianhua Domain had only ever issued the red ’Killing Order’ three times.

And each time, the target had been a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

But now, they were about to issue such a high-level ’Killing Order’ for a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

It seemed that the death of Xiahou Rui had indeed touched the bottom line of the Xiahou family.

With this in mind, Yu Hua and Lei Wei no longer hesitated, and both nodded towards Xiahou Feng.

"Alright, we will return to our respective Sects now, and after we report this matter to our Sect Leaders, we will come back and finalize the details of this ’Killing Order’ with your family."
