The crowd was breaking the defense, but Fang Yu couldn’t be bothered. He only said to Fa Hongwen.

"Gang Leader Fa, lead the way."

Lead the way?

Where to?

Fa Hongwen was confused for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Alright!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed through the crowd to lead the way, heading straight for Lady Tai’s room!

"Gang Leader?!"

"Damn it! Even the Gang Leader is...

"Could it really be Lady Tai? But they have always been a loving couple; we’ve all seen it over the years..."

The Gang Leader’s firm stance left everyone a bit puzzled.

But seeing the Gang Leader leaving with Fang Yu and others, they hesitated a bit before following suit.

They were loyal to Master Tai, but Lady Tai only received respect due to Master Tai.

But if Lady Tai was the one who killed the Hall Master, as the murderer, naturally they would avenge Lord Hall Master and execute Lady Tai on the spot!

A large group of people noisily made their way to Lady Tai’s room.

The servants on the way saw this aggressive group and quickly stepped aside, looking bewildered.

Along the way, Fa Hongwen remained silent, clenching his fists.

He faintly felt that this matter might be targeted at him.

Fa Xiao, that guy, didn’t want to take over the operations of the Forest Snake Gang but wanted everything from the gang.

So even if he wanted to kill me, he wouldn’t actually do it, because he still needs me!

Otherwise, once I’m dead, he wouldn’t have a suitable puppet to run the gang and continuously provide resources.

So... he used Tai Xuelin’s apparent death to intimidate me and control me!

How can I let you have your way!

I will remove each and every one of your claws and traitors you arranged by my side!

I am the true gang leader of the Forest Snake Gang!!

Bam!!!

Kicking open Lady Tai’s door, Fa Hongwen shouted on the spot: "Lady Tai, excuse my intrusion!"

What’s going on?!

The maids responsible for caring for Lady Tai inside the room all changed their expressions.

"Gang, Gang Leader?!"

"Gang Leader, the Lady has just lain down and needs rest..."

They were at a loss, pushed aside by Fa Hongwen!

But just as he approached Lady Tai’s bed, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and landed on his shoulder.

"Step back."

The simple two words struck fear into Fa Hongwen’s heart.

"Diao Keqing..."

He was pulled back.

This made the person who should have been standing by the bed change from him to Fang Yu.

By now, Qin Er and others also entered the room one after another.

On the spot, Qin Er spoke first.

"Lady Tai, sorry to disturb you! We have a few questions about Master Tai’s death..."

Clang!!

Qin Er was still speaking, but Fang Yu had already drawn his sword.

Her pupils contracted, and Qin Er’s voice abruptly stopped.

"What are you doing!"

"Wait!"

"Stop! Even if questioning, we should do it first!"

"Murder to silence! Are you trying to silence by murder just for your erroneous inference!!"

Amidst the commotion, Fang Yu had already... struck down towards the sheets with his sword!

"No!!!"

"Wait!"

"Stop it right now!"

People rushed forward, but it was too late!

But as the sword fell, the person who was supposed to be asleep was rolling!

The longsword plunged down!

The woman lying on her side, back to Fang Yu, suddenly rolled away, narrowly avoiding the sword!

What a fast roll!

Fang Yu squinted slightly as...

Tear!

The woman wrapped the sheet around herself. The sheet, pulled by the sharp longsword, was torn in half.

The torn sheet wrapped around the woman who should have fainted from excessive grief.

Standing on the wooden bed, she looked down coldly at everyone.

"What do you intend to do, sir?"

Lady Tai spoke coldly, but the crowd was already stunned.

Because that roll just now, that fluid motion, is not something the supposedly frail Lady Tai could do.

"Lady, Lady Tai knows martial arts?"

"Must, must be Master Tai who taught her! Madam has such excellent skills!"

"Shut up! Fool!"

Some were clueless about the situation, while others looked grim.

Even Qin Er, who had been denying the possibility, now had to admit that all her previous speculations were likely wrong.

She glanced at Ding Hui, who at some point had been passed to Master Xiong’s side.

Qin Er silently retreated behind Minister Qiu, watching the situation intently.

"Gang Leader, my husband just sacrificed himself for the gang, his body isn’t even cold, what does this mean?"

Lady Tai continued to ask coldly, the tear stains on her face not entirely faded.

Who could have thought, the woman who seemed on the brink of death from sorrow over Master Tai’s death, almost fainting from crying, could in an instant display such skill that the crowd nearly couldn’t keep up.

Fa Hongwen smiled and said: "Lady Tai, your movement technique is remarkable. I did not know Lady Tai possessed divine skill, such a hidden talent."

"It was just during leisure, my husband taught..."

Lady Tai’s vigilance went up all the way.

Even while speaking, her attention was entirely on the sword-wielding man before her.

But fast.

Too fast!

Just as she spoke halfway, the fierce sword light came slicing through the space with urgency!

A toe point, Lady Tai retreated against the wall.

But the bed space was already small, and the attack was both fast and fierce.

Just a moment too slow...

Tear!!!

The sheet fabric was torn, blood spurted from the chest, and Lady Tai felt a pain in her chest as she was disemboweled on the spot!

"You?!"

The gushing blood, along with intestines and other organs, surged from her chest, and in the next moment...

Bang!!!

Blood Mist, exploded.

A vague silhouette expanded from the blood mist; its immense weight instantly crushed the wooden bed beneath.

Amid the shattered wood, a figure had already dashed into the blood mist!
