When the Lord of the Moon Palace learned of the death of her daughter Yue Hui, she went almost crazy. She had only one daughter in her entire life who she raised like a jewel. But she died so suddenly that she couldn’t find her soul, and she couldn’t even let her soul live.

The Moon Palace Lord’s eyes were red, and she rushed to Ziliu Mountain with the mighty Earth Moon Palace disciples.

This once gorgeous palace was overshadowed by death. All the disciples who came saw the tragedy on the mountain. The Moon Palace Master didn’t care about these people and rushed directly into the inner hall. Someone was already guarding Yue Hui’s corpse, but didn’t dare to move. The Lord of the Moon Palace screamed when she saw the tragic condition of her daughter’s corpse and rushed forward.

“Who is it? Who killed my Hui?!” The Palace Master of the Moon Palace was no longer as calm and beautiful. She had a hideous look like an evil ghost. She held the cold corpse of Yue Hui in one hand, and looked bitterly at the cultivator next to her.

The cultivator was a family member of the Outer House family attached to the Moon Palace. They came back to the Outer House to live in Ziliu Mountain for Yue Hui. They were all responsible for sending their daughters to accompany Yue Hui to relieve boredom, and came to greet her every day and send some gifts.

When they came over and found that Ziliu Mountain was enveloped by the smell of blood and a dead silence, they noticed something was wrong. Then they discovered that Ziliu Mountain had been slaughtered. Even Yue Hui with several cultivators died there. They quickly sent the news, and were standing there waiting for the promising disciples. These days, they usually accompany them to go out with Yue Hui.

“You say! Who did it?!” The Moon Palace Master almost lost her mind, and the cultivator cried secretly. How could  he know who it was? Who could do this kind of thing?

He knelt down and whispered a few words of comfort, but the Moon Palace Lord still raged and sternly said, “My Hui came to live here. I told you to take care of her, but you did not. My Hui was killed!”

Monk Mian hurriedly explained, but was shot out by the Moon Palace Master with a palm of anger, and fell into the distance. The rest of the Mian family’s faces were ugly, fearful, and they didn’t dare to look at her. They all stood with their heads down, for fear of being beaten to death by the Moon Palace Lord just like him.

The Lord of the Moon Palace put away the corpse of Yue Hui and said to the people in the Moon Palace that she had brought, “Find the person. I must find the murderer, cramp, peel, tear their soul to let them pay for my child!”

She looked at the cultivators of the Mian family again, and said solemnly, “These days, all cultivators who took care of my child will apologize for my child’s death!”

The death of Yue Hui became the biggest thing in Gengchen Xianfu. The Lord of the Moon Palace wasn’t a good person. Several generations of Patriarchs of the Yue Family were all the palace owners of the Moon Palace. They were one of the major forces standing at the top of Gengchen Xianfu. She not only lost her only daughter, but also felt a strong sense of crisis.

The authority of their Moon Palace was provoked, and their faces were trampled. If the murderer wasn’t found and executed, she wouldn’t be able to relieve the anger in her heart and may become a demon.

In Gengchen’s inner and outer palaces, many people had died because of that incident. A sad mother went into madness and did everything. Because the act was too much, master Qian had to go and advise her.

When Shi Qian went to the Moon Palace, the Moon Palace Master was losing her temper. Many disciples went to investigate the cause of death, but they found nothing. They only knew that the people who killed Yue Hui had a high level of cultivation and extreme methods. They weren’t ordinary, and looking at their actions, it seemed that they had a deep hatred for Yue Hue. So it was very likely that they were enemies of the Moon Palace.

The Moon Palace Lord didn’t want to hear that, she just wanted to find her enemies.

“I’ll give you another half a month. If you don’t find any other useful clues, you will accompany my daughter to her funeral. She had a good relationship with you, and if you all go with her, I can rest assured.”

The cold sweat came out on the foreheads of those disciples, and they knelt on the spot, with different expressions.

One of them hesitated and said, “Shifu, when we were looking at Ziliu Mountain, we also found something. It was an unguarded woman who was locked in a dungeon at the foot of the mountain, named Yong Lingchun, the daughter of the Young Master of the Night Tour Palace. Sister Yue had locked her up in the dungeon because she angered her before, but I don’t know if she had anything to do with it.”

The person standing next to the Moon Palace Master said, “Shidi Qing had already reported that Yong Lingchun is lowly and has a humble status. She was in a dungeon but luckily did not die. I think she may not have anything to do with the murderer. Shidi Ruan, I think you should check it more carefully, and don’t waste Shifu’s time with such insignificant things.”

The Moon Palace Master said coldly, “No matter whether she has anything to do with the murderer, if my child was unhappy, I will kill her to relieve my anger.”

Shi Qian came in with two disciples, and said lightly, “Palace Master Moon, don’t kill people again. You have really made a lot of noise these days. Recently, many people have come to me.”

The Moon Palace Lord sneered, “You are pretending to be a good person. In terms of the deaths by your hand, can I be better than you? Don’t pretend. It is not your daughter who died. Of course you can’t understand my feelings!”

She stared at Shi Qianqi, and suddenly said, “If there is nothing, you will definitely not come to me. What are you thinking about? Just say it.”

Shi Qian didn’t get angry, and just let everyone go down. He said to the Moon Palace Master, “I want to intervene in this matter.”

“I suspect this is related to Sima Jiao.”

The look of the Moon Palace Lord changed.

Shi Qian said, “Since that time, Sima Jiao has not reappeared. But I know he will never let me go easily. As long as there is a chance, he will come back again. I suspect that he is now in Gengchen Xianfu. The reason why he didn’t show up was just because he was seriously injured. You also know that if he is injured extremely, it’s hard for him to heal. He may be still recovering at this time. We must find him as soon as possible.”

The Moon Palace Lord finally spoke slowly, “Tell me, why did he kill my Hui?”

Shi Qian asked, “Does Sima Jiao need a reason to kill anyone?”

The Moon Palace Master knew that Shi Qian had been looking for Sima Jiao, but if anything was unusual, he would have sent someone to investigate secretly. Such a big incident happened, him suspecting Sima Jiao was also normal, but the murderer was too High-profile.
