Cui Baiyi went directly to Mei Fanghua's temporary residence. When he arrived, the scene before him made him pause for a moment.
Ruined walls, corpses everywhere.
Yes, there was not a single living person in the entire compound.
Not only that, the scene was extremely bloody; there were no intact bodies, all were torn apart beyond recognition.
To be precise, it was a courtyard of mangled flesh.
Cui Baiyi had seen many big storms and had killed quite a few people. But even he felt some churning in his chest at such a sight. Killing people is one thing, but this method was too cruel.
"Judge Cui..." Cui Baiyi was a little dazed when Dong Xia appeared and called out.
Cui Baiyi looked towards Dong Xia and nodded slightly.
"It seems we are a step too late. Dong Xia, who do you think did this?" Cui Baiyi asked.
"Mei Fanghua," Dong Xia said directly, her eyes showing disgust.
The scene before her was repulsive to anyone who saw it.
After all, they were people, turned into a bloody mess of flesh, which was unbearable.
"Though Mei Fanghua is impulsive and irritable, she is not utterly foolish. She knew very well that her increase in strength would cause our apprehension. Killing everyone and escaping was the best method," Dong Xia also felt a headache.
Now that Mei Fanghua had left, it wouldn't be easy to find her.
According to Du Leng, Mei Fanghua seems to have found a method to enhance her strength using Death Energy. Dong Xia wasn't familiar with such methods. And because she didn't understand, she felt troubled.
Who knows what she could achieve.
Dong Xia did not like this uncontrollable feeling.
Moreover, this uncontrollable situation involved Mei Fanghua, which was a disgrace and an irony.
"If only I knew, I should have killed her," Cui Baiyi said somewhat helplessly, regretting the oversight.
"What do we do now?" Dong Xia asked.
In front of Cui Baiyi, she still had to maintain the demeanor of a subordinate. It wasn't the time to reveal more.
"Do nothing," Cui Baiyi shook his head, "I heard recently you nominated Bai Ze as a Judge Candidate Envoy?"
"Yes," Dong Xia nodded.
"Bai Ze, didn't he disappear before? How did he appear again?" Cui Baiyi asked.
"He left to break through, he is now at Half-step Great Perfection," Dong Xia stated.
Cui Baiyi was slightly taken aback, Bai Ze had reached Half-step Great Perfection? He didn't expect that. Frankly speaking, Bai Ze's strength was somewhat weaker than Jiu Zhikong; unexpectedly, he has now reached Half-step Great Perfection.
Indeed, at this stage, breakthroughs are truly unpredictable.
Some people just have that sudden stroke of fortune, skyrocketing in advancement.
"Can he be controlled?" Cui Baiyi asked.
"He can," Dong Xia nodded, "I plan to have him replace Qin Sheng."
Cui Baiyi looked at Dong Xia for a few moments, didn't say anything, didn't nod or shake his head, just snorted lightly and then left directly.
"Old thief," Dong Xia muttered softly after Cui Baiyi left.
Then she too turned and left the courtyard.
...
Moon, Tang Rao was leisurely swinging his legs, dusting off his clothes, with a look of a petty man achieving petty success.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Mei Fanghua, Mei Fanghua, you finally took that step." Tang Rao stared at the screen in front of him, where Mei Fanghua was furiously fighting cultivators in the courtyard. Of course, Mei Fanghua's current location was also displayed on the screen.
"It's really too cruel." Fang Jinxiu beside him was visibly disgusted.
"It is cruel, but this is the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains. You'll never know what crazy things might happen here, and you wouldn't expect it to treat you gently," Tang Rao snapped his fingers and said.
"Blue Star is better, after all." Fang Jinxiu stated.
"Yes, Blue Star is better. If it weren't good here, why would I be so dedicated in protecting it, don't you think?" Tang Rao said with a smile.
Fang Jinxiu pouted, Tang Rao's way of speaking was always so straightforward, but it was exactly this that made Fang Jinxiu think he was very manly.
A man who dares to speak his true thoughts and face his desires directly, Fang Jinxiu thought that was cool.
"So what are you going to do about Mei Fanghua?" Fang Jinxiu asked.
"Of course, just let her do her thing, as long as she doesn't come to the Moon, I don't care what she does," Tang Rao grinned.
"What if she reaches Great Perfection? Then, she will probably be the first to come after you for revenge," Fang Jinxiu said.
"I'm afraid she won't come," Tang Rao chuckled lightly, "Is Dead Water that easy to use? Naive! She probably forgot that whether it's playing with Death Energy Puppets or Dead Water, I, Tang Rao, am their ancestor."
Fang Jinxiu paused for a moment, and then didn't say anything else.
That's up for Tang Rao to consider, there was no need to ask too clearly.
"Okay, by the way, Yan Wei is getting married the day after tomorrow, I'm going with you," Fang Jinxiu sat down, picked up his notebook, and flipped through it rustlingly.
Tang Rao looked at Fang Jinxiu in surprise; he didn't know about this.
"Why are you going?" Tang Rao asked subconsciously.
"What are you talking about? Yan Wei and I are friends and colleagues. Is there a problem with me attending his wedding? Besides, Yan Wei invited me, stop nitpicking," Fang Jinxiu cursed.
Tang Rao really didn't know; Fang Jinxiu had asked to go herself, Yan Wei hadn't invited her.
"You better go by yourself, I still have some things to deal with that day, so I won't join you," Tang Rao said.
"Wow, Tang Rao, aren't you being fake? It's just meeting an ex-girlfriend, don't be so cowardly. Oh right, to speak of it, she's not even an ex-girlfriend, just someone you once had a crush on," Fang Jinxiu said.
Tang Rao had a dark expression, "Damn, how do you know everything…"
"Nonsense, I know every hair on your body."
"How many?"
"I forgot the count, take off your pants and everything, I'll count them again for you."
Dealing with a female thug like Fang Jinxiu, Tang Rao really had no other way.
...
Time passed just like that, and in the blink of an eye, it was Yan Wei's wedding day.
"Tang Rao, damn, you're wearing this?" At the Moon Research Base, Fang Jinxiu pointed at Tang Rao, full of contempt. This guy still looked like a loser, wearing what looked like cheap street market clothes.
"Is there a problem?" Tang Rao asked, "If I don't dress down, how am I supposed to act cool?"
Fang Jinxiu really didn't know how to argue with Tang Rao's logic; it seemed impeccable no matter how she thought about it.
"You say that, but shouldn't you let your ex-girlfriend, no, your former crush, know that you are living well? Let her know that without her, you still live gallantly?" Fang Jinxiu said.
"Do you know who Yun Xi is?" Tang Rao asked.
"Your former crush."
"I can tell you, under the whole starry sky, you won't find a more powerful, more talented Array Master than her. The reason why Blue Star could defend against all cultivators and then migrate to the Moon was thanks to Yun Xi's arrays. So, do you think she cares whether I'm doing well or not?" Tang Rao asked.
