Lin Shuran was not among them.

Miss Zhou had lost too much blood and fainted. One of her arms had been cut off.

Madam Zhou cried until she fainted. The imperial physicians and doctors hurriedly went forward to treat her.

The disciples of the Cloud Breaking Sect also came out one after another. Everyone looked a little exhausted. Xia Qiluo glanced at Liu Sanniang and walked straight to the side to sit down and rest with her eyes closed.

It was a good thing that they were saved. After the diagnosis and examination, these young ladies were not violated, but they were terribly frightened.

They leaned into their mother’s arms with a blank expression.

Xia Qiluo stood up and walked to a woman. She squatted down. “Where did he take you?”

…..

Xing Fangyuan replied in a trembling voice. “A dilapidated temple. A very dilapidated temple.”

She never wanted to recall that kind of memory again in her life. In the dilapidated temple, it was dirty, moldy, and dark. People like her would never have set foot in such a place.

Xia Qiluo’s expression darkened. As expected, he was a rat that only hid in dirty places.

“Is Lin Shuran still there?”

Lin Shuran was most likely dead. The array formation they set up could bring back all the living people. The nine living ones had all been saved, but there was no Lin Shuran.

“She, she’s dead… She’s hollowed out… Boohoo…”

Xing Fangyuan seemed to have thought of something terrifying. Her eyes were filled with fear and tears streamed down her face.

Mrs. Xing, who could not bear to see her daughter in such pain, said, “Seventh Princess, let my daughter rest for a while. She can’t say anything more now.”

People were selfish. She didn’t know what kind of terrifying thing her daughter had encountered that frightened her so much, but she had to take it slow. If not, Xia Qiluo could ask someone else. Anyway, her daughter wasn’t the only survivor.

Xia Qiluo looked up and patted Xing Fangyuan. “What happened to Lin Shuran?”

Xia Qiluo did not even look at Mrs. Xing. She guessed that Lin Shuran was already dead, but Xing Fangyuan said that she was hollowed out. What did this mean? Xia Qiluo wanted to know everything.

Xing Fangyuan’s face was pale as she opened her mouth with a trembling voice. “I, I…”

Xia Qiluo looked at Xing Fangyuan coldly. “The sooner I catch him, the safer you will be. If I can’t catch him, you’ll only be safe temporarily.”

Xing Fangyuan was so frightened that she trembled. She closed her eyes and cried. “Miss Lin, her stomach was hollowed out by him. It was stuffed with cotton and sewn up. It was very scary…”

The bloody and violent scene frightened them on the spot. Even though they had talismans on them, no one dared to attack.

They were afraid. They could only hug each other and cry for mercy, promising him a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry.

Xia Qiluo stood up and said to Wu Changxian, “Lord Wu, you heard it just now, right? Search the dilapidated temple.”

There were not many dilapidated temples in the capital.

Wu Changxian sent people out immediately. Some psychics expressed their opinions.

Liu Shun was an irrational person. His heart was filled with killing intent. There was no need to doubt these words, but how to capture him was a question.

With the Cloud Breaking Sect around, it was enough.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left the government office. Not long after they returned to the courtyard, Wei Shilai brought Wei Meng over.

Wei Meng smiled at Liu Sanniang in embarrassment. “Sister Liu, I’m sorry to disturb you again.”

Wei Shilai looked serious. He was extremely afraid.

Liu Sanniang invited Wei Meng in. She didn’t mind Wei Meng staying here for the time being.

At the same time, the opportunity on Wei Meng was becoming more and more obvious. Liu Sanniang looked at Wei Shilai. “Lord Wei, sit down.”

Seeing Liu Sanniang looking at Wei Meng like this, Wei Shilai felt a little uneasy. He sat down and said, “Miss Liu, please forgive Wei Meng for being naughty.”

Wei Meng pouted. “I’m not naughty.”

She was very obedient and could even help Liu Sanniang do many things.

Liu Sanniang looked at Wei Shilai and said, “I still remember that you have some understanding of criminal psychology. Do you think someone like Liu Shun will be baited.”

Wei Shilai instantly understood what Liu Sanniang meant. He thought about it seriously and replied affirmatively. “Yes, from all the signs, he seems to be playing around. He enjoys the feeling of wrapping people around his fingers. If anyone is not afraid of him and provokes him, he will definitely be instigated because he will do all he can to punish the person who looks down on him. He will also let everyone know the outcome of provoking him in the most brutal way.”

After Wei Shilai finished speaking, he thought of Wei Meng and said, “Wei Meng is just a child. She doesn’t know anything. At critical moments, she will mess things up.”

To find a bold woman to provoke Liu Shun was definitely not easy. It was not something an ordinary person could do. Although Wei Meng always said that she was not afraid, was she really that bold?

Since she had never met Liu Shun, she could not imagine the intensity of fear.

Wei Shilai did not want his daughter to take the risk either. His daughter was more important than his life.

Without waiting for Liu Sanniang to speak, Wei Shilai stood up and looked at her deeply. “Please take care of my daughter, Miss Liu.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “I will.”

Seeing Wei Shilai leave, Wei Meng relaxed. Liu Sanniang had already entered the house to draw talismans. Wei Meng went to the kitchen. She was already familiar with Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan and helped them with what she could.

At night, Su Yanyu came over to deliver the news.

“Shifu, they found Lin Shuran, but she looks very scary. She was hollowed out and stuffed with cotton, and the wound was stitched up. Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin couldn’t bear to look at her corpse. Mrs. Lin fainted several times.”

Su Yanyu felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

Liu Sanniang asked. “Did they catch him?”

Su Yanyu shook his head. “No, they didn’t even see him. It’s as if he doesn’t exist. It seems no one can catch him. He’s hiding in the dark. As long as he doesn’t come out, it’s too difficult to capture him.”

As Su Yanyu spoke, he couldn’t help but be furious. If they couldn’t catch Liu Shun, more people would die.

Su Yanyu was puzzled. “After he was executed, he’s still alive. His soul must be kept from dissipating by someone.. But how did he get his ability to be invisible?”
