This was supposed to be a one-on-one fight, but with his shout, it turned into a gang fight. The spectating civilians, sensing the danger, began to flee.

　　Shen Huan couldn't stand it anymore and drew his sword to barely defend himself. He Muyu arrived shortly after and shouted, "Qing Hu, what do you think you're doing?"

　　"What am I doing? Beating him up. Guys, let's go!"

　　Geng Tianbao and Dong Tianzhen jumped onto the stage together.

　　"Third junior brother, are you trying to rebel?"

　　"I'm just letting out some pent-up anger."

　　Wen Yan also jumped onto the stage and said, "Third senior brother, stop."

　　"No way!"

　　Ji Yanshi arrived and said, "Third senior brother, is this really necessary?"

　　"It's none of your business!"

　　The two sides couldn't agree and started fighting on the spot.

　　He Muxian, who had been sitting for a long time, couldn't watch anymore. She thought to herself, "They're all fighting for me. Shouldn't I join in too?" With that, she also jumped into the fray.

　　In the chaos of the fight, Wen Yan didn't know who to help.

　　Qing Hu shouted, "Fifth senior brother, don't forget who you're supposed to be helping!"

　　Forced by the circumstances, Wen Yan had no choice but to fight.

　　When the other martial arts brothers encountered him, they all feigned a few moves, and He Muxian was no exception. Not only them, but Shen Huan and Zhou Ge also did the same when they encountered him.

　　Just as Zhou Ge and Wen Yan were about to clash, Qing Hu used a treacherous move.

　　In the end, the situation on the stage turned against them all because of this one person. Without him, they would have publicly humiliated the He family a long time ago, and their anger would have been vented. He Muxian glanced sideways at Xia Yue, who understood her intention.

　　Just like what they did to Xu Wenyuan, Xia Yue condensed a poisonous blood needle and launched it at Wen Yan's back when no one was looking. Everyone involved in the fight was too busy dealing with their opponents to notice her, and naturally, no one saw what she did.

　　Well, except for one person off the stage. This person had been watching for a long time and witnessed Xia Yue harming Wen Yan, but since it involved the affairs of the West Peak, they didn't want to voice their opinion and left with the crowd.

　　Wen Yan was hit by the poisonous blood needle and couldn't continue fighting. Unfortunately, he was also struck by Zhou Ge's sword on his chest.

　　He was very clear that the fatal wound came from behind him. When he turned around, he saw Xia Yue and Qing Hu's faces filled with cunning smiles.

　　"Third senior brother... why did you have to do this..."

　　"Stop!" A voice shouted from the street, startling everyone.

　　Five people walked towards the stage from the long street. At the front was He Xin, the governor of Beici County, followed closely by Wen Liang, the left National Master, and Qing Tu, the leader of Qingmei Peak.

　　Behind them was a father-daughter pair. On the left was Xiao Ming, the leader of Yuanying Peak, and on the right was his daughter, Xiao Wen. The Xiao family had come here to be prepared for any contingency.

　　When He Muxian saw her relatives, her eyes filled with tears. "Father, you're finally here. Third uncle, Fourth uncle, Fifth uncle, Fourth senior sister, it's so good that you're all here."

　　Wen Liang had come here after hearing that his adopted son had caused trouble. When he arrived at the scene, he was even more shocked. The situation before the fight was stopped was chaotic beyond words. The stage was in tatters, and there were dead bodies lying on the ground.

　　Seeing He Muxian, he spoke gently and said, "Child, our Wen family has wronged you. You wicked beast, come over here and admit your mistake. Wen Yan, come with me back to the mansion."

　　When Yu Pingnian heard his adoptive father's voice, he immediately ran over, but before he could say anything, he was kicked to the ground. Qing Hu was extremely happy to see his fifth uncle. He smeared some blood on his face and put on a mournful expression before kneeling down in front of him.

　　"Fifth uncle, I'm sorry. I couldn't take care of my younger brother properly. It's all my fault," he said while slapping himself in the face.

　　Wen Liang knew that Qing Hu was involved in this and felt angry. "You still know you're wrong?"

　　"I'm not talking about... I mean... it's... it's Wen Yan, he's dead!"

　　The words were like a bolt from the blue.

　　"What? Say that again."

　　"Wen Yan is dead!" Qing Hu said as he led the way for them to see.

　　Everyone followed Qing Hu and saw Wen Yan's body.

　　"Who did this? Who is it?"

　　"It's him!"

　　Everyone looked in the direction that Qing Hu was pointing, and it was clearly Zhou Ge.

　　"Who is he?"

　　"He's the helper that Sixth Junior Sister He Muxian and Seventh Junior Brother Ji Yanshi brought in. His name is Zhou Ge, and he's the new inquisitor of the Beici County. He's the one who killed fifth junior brother"

　　Wen Liang was furious and lost control. However, he couldn't do anything about it on the spot. "Zhou Ge, I will have a grudge against you forever!"

　　Zhou Ge was falsely accused and his sword fell to the ground. His eyes were dull. He quickly realized that he was surrounded by the disciples of the Eighth Holy Family, and staying here for even a moment longer would bring more danger. Therefore, he decided to flee towards the north.

　　He Xin had brought Xiao Ming and Wen Liang here to resolve the issue, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen on the stage.

　　Wen Yan's death not only failed to alleviate the situation but also caused more trouble.

　　Seeing this, Wen Liang didn't stay longer. He took his son's body, his adopted son Yu Pingnian, his son's guards, and the Qing family back to Tianshun County.

　　Ji Yanshi saw this and sneered coldly. It seemed that he didn't care whether his fifth senior brother was dead or alive. As long as he and the He sisters were fine, he was satisfied.

　　On the street, Qi Xiang, Long Ming, Wang Zu, and Xing Tong had already been killed. Searching for the others, they found that Dang Liaoze, Xia Yue, the three ghosts of fang Mountain, Hao Yun Master, and Xing Tong had all disappeared without a trace.

　　After dealing with all the miscellaneous matters, it was almost time for the evening meal. Everyone gathered again in the prefect's hall.

　　After talking for a while, Geng Tianbao whispered something to his second junior brother. They bid farewell to everyone and returned to their hometown.

　　Xiao Ming didn't want to be involved, so after chatting with prefect He for a while, he took his daughter and returned to Yuanying Peak.

　　He Muxian took her younger sister to see off her martial uncles, martial brothers, and martial sisters. Then she found Shen Huan.

　　She asked anxiously, "Shen Brother, what really happened back then?"

　　Shen Huan shook his head and remained silent.

　　He was thinking that he had brought Zhou Ge to Beici County because of his own selfish desires. Zhou Ge had only wanted to investigate the case, but now he had been dragged into this mess. Since Zhou Ge had been falsely accused, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

　　"Miss He, your matter has been resolved. I need to go to Tianshun for a while," he said.

　　"What do you intend to do?"

　　"I need to explain everything clearly to Uncle Wen."

　　"Everyone is here, so let's discuss it together."

　　"There's no need for further discussion. left National Master Wen will definitely issue an arrest warrant when he returns home. I have to catch up to him and stop him before the arrest warrant is issued. Farewell!" Shen Huan finished speaking, borrowed a fast horse, and rode off in pursuit of the left National Master.

　　However, catching up to him was easier said than done. He didn't even know which way they had gone, and he also didn't know if they had split up.

　　He Muxian was also anxious. "Younger sister, you've really grown up. I'm leaving the family in your care, so you have to help Father."

　　"Where are you going, sister?"

　　"Zhou fled towards Yue Region, which I'm familiar with, so I'm going to look for him. He protected you on Cross Slope,and fought on the arena for me. Can I just stand by and do nothing about Zhou the Inquisitor's matter?"

　　"But..."

　　"No buts, sister. You're not a child anymore. It's time to share the burden of the family. From now on, rise early and diligently practice martial arts, help father with his worries more often, and don't skip your evening lessons. Whether I'm here or not, you should be consistent."

　　He Muyu had no choice but to agree.

　　"Yes."

　　Having made up her mind, He Muxian bid farewell to her father. When He Xin heard the whole story, he couldn't stop her.

　　She returned to her room, packed her bags, strapped on her Qingzhuang sword, mounted her Zhaoye Yulong steed, and rode northwards.

　　Just as she exited the gates of the mansion, two pairs of eyes fell upon her.

　　One of them belonged to Qian Geng. With Zhou Ge's escape, the Xiyue police saw no reason to stay in Beici County. After discussion among the three, Teng Yang and Zeng Gang went to Nanyi Prefecture to find Sheng Huan and then report back to Jiangxiao City first, while he himself stayed in Beici County to await news.

　　The other belonged to a martial artist wearing a fur coat, who was sitting by the roadside drinking from a gourd. At his waist, he had a sword on one side and a embroidered pouch containing talismans and amulets on the other.
