Instead of traveling with Shi Jian's carriage, he rented another one himself, the cheapest one available.
Naturally, this journey will be much slower.
I had originally planned to stay in Jiuquan Town for a few more days before going back with Su Feng, but I decided against it.
The young couple is currently on their honeymoon, and he has no reason to interfere and become a third wheel.
It would be better to come back sooner and discipline those two unruly kids at home.
After being away for three days, they should have learned their lesson and should be more careful now.
Just then, Uncle Nine pushed open the door of the mortuary, but what he saw next left him speechless!
Two people were standing in the lobby, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai on the left and right sides respectively...
On the ground between them was a wooden plank, upon which lay a clean white cloth...
But none of that is the key point. The key point is that on this white sheet lies a mutilated corpse!
At first glance, it almost made Uncle Nine cry out.
The corpse was so badly mutilated that the flesh of its entire face was torn off, revealing the white bones beneath the skin.
The body was even more unsightly; the hands and feet were separated, and from the abdomen onwards, there was not a single piece of intact skin, only a patch of bright red!
The spine was bent, and the connection point from the bottom was completely shattered...
It can be said that it was split in two!
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a person at all...
but……
Uncle Nine's intuition told him that things were not simple.
"Master! Master, you're finally back!"
Qiu Shengwen turned around and saw that it was Uncle Jiu. He immediately knelt down in front of Uncle Jiu and kept kowtowing to admit his mistakes!
"Master, please save us! This, this..."
They tried to explain with exaggerated gestures, but couldn't utter a complete sentence; it looked like a silent play.
However, when Uncle Nine heard that the mutilated corpse lying on the ground belonged to Shi Shaojian, it was as if a bolt from the blue had struck him hard, leaving him stunned and speechless.
"What...what are you saying?..."
Shi Shaojian?
"I'm sorry, Master, we...we didn't mean to! It's just that Shi Shaojian's soul left his body in the wild, presumably intending to do something improper, so we..."
"Shut up!"
Uncle Nine sternly stopped the two men's excuses, "I'll ask you one more time, is the corpse on the ground Shi Shaojian or not?!"
Seeing that Uncle Nine's face was flushed and his eyes were glaring, Qiu Shengwen knew that Uncle Nine was really angry. Without hesitation, he told him everything that had happened that night.
Although they did not witness Shi Shaojian being attacked by wolves, based on the circumstances and events at the time, it was not difficult to guess who the body belonged to.
After hearing the whole story, Uncle Nine felt dizzy and stumbled, almost falling.
I had to hold onto the wall and catch my breath several times before I could sit up in the chair.
Now he could only feel his temples throbbing incessantly, as if issuing a warning.
I felt a constant buzzing in my ears, and my mind went completely blank.
"Master, what should we do now? Can Shi Shaojian still be saved?"
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were already in tears, so flustered that they had no idea what to do. They knelt down in front of Uncle Jiu in a flustered manner.
"We really didn't mean to! How could wolves suddenly appear?"
The two of them chattered away, one after the other.
"Now this is how we'll explain it to Uncle Master 263: if we killed his most beloved disciple, then..."
“Shi Shaojian may not be the eldest brother’s disciple.” Uncle Jiu remained dumbfounded, as if he had lost his soul, and his eyes became lifeless.
He slowly opened his mouth and revealed an even more astonishing fact.
"Perhaps... Shi Shaojian is the eldest brother's son... You have killed the eldest brother's only offspring."

Chapter 355 Fear Arrives... A Tremorous Aura Shakes the Heavens!
"May our ancestors bless us so that we may pass through safely and without incident this time."
After offering two sticks of incense to the ancestral tablet, Qiu Shengwen clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully.
They were at their wits' end.
Outside, there was lightning and thunder, and a violent storm.
Inside, however, the atmosphere was unusually eerie and oppressive.
Uncle Nine sat to the side, silent, turning one cigarette after another in his hand.
Torment is the only emotion he can feel right now.
Fear, perhaps, has already become a habit during these long afternoons.
"Master, what should we do now?"
After paying respects to the ancestral tablet, Qiu Shengwen turned around and cautiously asked Uncle Jiu.
They dared not make any big moves anymore; they had already feared everything they could, and now it seemed they were just waiting for their death countdown.
"no solution anymore……"
Uncle Jiu exhaled a puff of smoke, his brows furrowed as he glanced over. "Young Master Su is still in Jiuquan Town. Given the current situation, we have no way to ask Young Master Su for help."
After all, who knows how many dangers are hidden in the storms outside?
If we were to step out of this mortuary, it might have irreversible consequences.
and so……
Perhaps we should wait here for the storm to come.
They killed the eldest brother Shi Jian's own flesh and blood; this debt must be settled no matter what.
Uncle Nine is mentally prepared...
Clang, clang—
The wind howled, making the windowsills sway and rattle, and the wind and rain drifted into the hall.
A strange aura suddenly emanated from outside the door...
It carried a murderous intent and a chilling, sinister aura.
"They're here...~"
The cigarette in his hand fell involuntarily. Uncle Nine took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and went to greet the uninvited guest who was bound to arrive.
Swish, swish, swish——
In that storm.
Outside that dark courtyard, a shadowy figure stood there...
No one knew when it appeared, but it just stood there silently not far from the crowd.
Boom!
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, briefly illuminating the entire world.
It also illuminated the pale face hidden in the darkness.
Shi Jian's eyes were bloodshot, and his aura was fully unleashed.
Just standing outside that doorway, it was like an unshakeable Buddha statue, giving everyone inside a great sense of awe.
"Senior Brother, what is it? Why don't you come in and we can talk about it?"
Uncle Nine forced himself to remain calm and called out softly to the person outside the door.
We must not panic now, we absolutely must not panic.
If you want to save your two disciples' lives, you have to negotiate. You can't take action unless absolutely necessary.
although.
He already knew that this was a dead end, and given Shi Jian's personality, he would definitely not give up easily.
No matter what we say today, it will inevitably lead to bloodshed.
But as Qiu Shengwencai's master, he had to protect his disciples no matter how badly they did!
This is his responsibility!
Da da da--
Braving the gale and lightning, Shi Jian, soaking wet, stepped through the gates of the mortuary.
Raindrops clinging to the hem of her clothes dripped onto the ground, making an unpleasant sound.
Shi Jian entered the hall silently and sat down on a stool under the watchful eyes of Uncle Jiu and the others.
Although he didn't make a sound or utter a word, the dangerous aura emanating from him was enough to suffocate everyone present.
This unparalleled terror had inadvertently subdued everyone present.
"Hurry up and pour tea for your senior master!"
Uncle Nine glared back at Qiu Shengwencai, who was standing motionless behind him, and gestured with his eyes.
Since Shi Jian has no intention of bringing up the whole matter, there is no need for me to be the first to speak up.
But we still need to show our sincerity.
