Chapter 6

Outside the city of Jinling, in a sparsely visited forest,

Wang Ye threw Li Qingzhu's corpse into a newly dug pit.

The pit was about three feet deep, with a square and neat edge.

Neatly arranged inside were thirteen corpses, including Li Qingzhu, a terrifying sight.

These thirteen corpses were completely naked, without a single piece of clothing, creating a strong visual impact.

"Heaven has a path, but you do not take it; Hell has no gate, but you come to it on your own."

Looking at the thirteen corpses in the pit, Wang Ye shook his head: "If you had taken the token and retreated, everyone could have been happy."

"But you insisted on causing this situation, why bother?"

As he spoke, he took out a red porcelain bottle from his pocket, uncapped it, and sprinkled some powder over the corpses in the pit.

Sizzle!

The powder immediately produced a white smoke when it touched the corpses, and the bodies visibly turned into a pool of pus and blood.

The powder in the porcelain bottle was called Bone-Dissolving Powder. A touch of it would turn a corpse into a pool of blood, a must-have for the Cult of Evil to cover their tracks after a murder.

Wang Ye had prepared some of it in his spare time, just in case, and it turned out to be useful.

After watching the corpses turn into blood, Wang Ye glanced around.

Next to him lay a pile of black nightclothes, twelve long swords, and some silver coins.

These items were neatly arranged, without any sign of disorder.

Covering up the crime was a science, and Wang Ye was the master of it.

"These nightclothes cannot be left behind; they should be burned."

After a moment's thought, Wang Ye took out a flint and lit the nightclothes, throwing them directly into the pit.

As the flames flickered, the clothes were burned to ashes, mixing with the blood in the pit, forming a large, black, indistinguishable mass.

Wang Ye nodded, satisfied.

He then threw the twelve long swords, including the White Bone Sword, into the pit, quickly covering them with soil.

Although these swords, especially the White Bone Sword, were valuable, they were weapons used by the Heaven's Gate Sect. Selling them would leave evidence.

If the Heaven's Gate Sect investigated, it would easily bring trouble to him.

To avoid trouble, Wang Ye decided to bury them directly.

Of course, if he was unlucky in the future, these items might be dug up.

But by then, they would have nothing to do with him...

In a short while, the pit was leveled and covered. Due to the autumn rain, the ground was muddy, and since the place was rarely visited, there was no sign of anything unusual.

No one would have guessed that thirteen corpses of the Heaven's Gate Sect were buried here.

"Done, finished!"

After everything was handled, Wang Ye exhaled, weighing the silver coins in his hand: "A total of 128 taels of silver. Killing and looting is indeed much faster than doing legitimate business!"

As he spoke, Wang Ye slowly walked towards the city of Jinling.

Back at the Drunken Immortal Tower, Aji and Chen Chong were still unconscious on the ground.

"Ah..."

Seeing the scene, Wang Ye kicked the unconscious Aji, shaking his head: "Chen Chong is one thing, but Aji is a master-level expert, and he was taken down by a single Flower Intoxication."

"Fortunately, I was here, or you two would have been long gone."

"The Flower Intoxication is potent, but it only lasts for six hours. I won't bother to detoxify you; just sleep it off, and the poison will be gone by morning!"

As he spoke, Wang Ye placed the Jun Tian Token on the table and lay down on the ground.

"I'll just sleep on the floor tonight."

Even Aji, with his martial arts skills, was knocked out. If he, a weak innkeeper, was unharmed, it would raise suspicion.

To avoid suspicion, Wang Ye decided to sleep on the floor with Aji and Chen Chong.

"Being an ordinary person is so hard."

After a light sigh, Wang Ye closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

...

"Boss... Boss!"

In a daze, Wang Ye suddenly heard someone calling him.

Before he could open his eyes, he felt a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly waking him up.

Opening his eyes, Wang Ye saw Aji holding a bucket and Chen Chong looking down at him.

"Aji, are you full?"

Seeing the scene, Wang Ye burst out in anger: "Why did you pour water on me so early in the morning?"

At that moment, Wang Ye was drenched, with water droplets continuously falling from his nose, looking extremely disheveled.

"Boss, don't get angry, we are saving you!"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Aji said sincerely: "Last night, some bandits released toxic smoke, and we were all knocked out, don't you remember?"

"It seems so; I just smelled a fragrance and then lost consciousness."

Wang Ye pretended to recall.

"That's right, I saw you unconscious, so I had to resort to this!"

Hearing Wang Ye's confirmation, Aji slapped his thigh and said.

Damn...

Hearing Aji's words, Wang Ye was speechless.

He knew Aji's intentions too well.

Aji often complained about being ordered around.

If this bucket of cold water didn't have a personal vendetta, he wouldn't believe it!

But even if he didn't believe it, he had no choice.

After all, his current identity was that of a weak innkeeper.

No one knew his past, and no one knew he had martial arts skills.

Being wronged by his subordinate, Wang Ye had nothing to say.

"This time, you have a reason."

Thinking about it, Wang Ye got up, cursing: "If it happens again, I'll deduct half a year's pay from you!"

"Quickly clean up and get ready to open the door!"

As he spoke, Wang Ye wiped the cold water from his face and said.

"Still open the door?"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Aji was surprised: "We were just knocked out by toxic smoke last night. Shouldn't we close for a day to rest?"

"Do you have any problems?"

Hearing Aji's words, Wang Ye turned and asked.

"Not really..."

At that moment, Aji was full of doubts. After smelling a strange fragrance, he had fainted and woke up in the inn.

Not only that, but the inn's layout had not changed, and the Jun Tian Token was still on the table, untouched.

Being knocked out by toxic smoke but unharmed was indeed suspicious.

"Since you're fine, why are you complaining?"

Wang Ye said: "Clean up quickly; I'll settle old and new grievances if you don't do a good job!"

"And you, Chen Chong!"

Turning to Chen Chong, Wang Ye continued: "Don't just stand there; clean the kitchen and get ready to work!"

After saying this, Wang Ye walked to the back yard.

"Wang Bapi!"

Watching Wang Ye leave, Aji and Chen Chong grumbled, then started working diligently in the inn.
