Scarlet blood sprayed out from his mouth, and both Ye Xunhuan and the monk's faces turned unspeakably grim. At the same time, both felt as if their internal organs were being scorched by fire, causing extreme pain!

At this moment, the final move between Ye Xunhuan and the monk caused terrifying energy that resulted in both being grievously injured, neither coming out unscathed!

After the monk spat blood from his mouth, his body began to sway, and at that moment, he aged several decades, losing the ethereal and immortal-like aura he once had.

Now, the monk appeared completely like a decrepit old man, as if a strong breeze could topple him to the ground!

Ye Xunhuan, however, only wobbled a few times before stabilizing his footing!

Ye Xunhuan slowly extended his left hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, then looked at the monk and said, "Monk, you cannot pass me on, today you are destined to go to your Buddha!"

"However, with your heavy murderous intent, your Buddha may not want to see you, go to hell and become a demon instead!"

Saying this, Ye Xunhuan began walking towards the monk step by step.

Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan approaching, the monk's face changed drastically. Just as he wanted to act, a burning pain erupted from his internal organs, causing him to halt immediately.

In the next moment, the monk turned his head to Yan Qingjun: "Yan Benefactor, run quickly, I'll hold him back, go to Shaolin Temple and tell Qing Mu, I've died at the Marshal's hands!"

The monk knew that escape was impossible for him today, but he didn't want his death to go unknown. Therefore, he wanted Yan Qingjun to escape while he desperately blocked Ye Xunhuan, spreading the news of his demise.

Moreover, if Yan Qingjun managed to survive, he would surely retaliate, and the matter of Ye Xunhuan killing the honored one would be known, ultimately bringing that certain person out!

Upon hearing the monk's words, Yan Qingjun's face changed.

"Go!" the monk roared lowly.

At the same time, he clenched his teeth, gathered the remaining Inner Strength in his body, and sent it striking towards Yan Qingjun!

"Whoosh whoosh..."

As a gust of energy shot forth from his palm, it struck Yan Qingjun's chest, sending him flying out!

Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan immediately shouted coldly, "Too late!"

With that, Ye Xunhuan was about to wield his sword to kill Yan Qingjun, but before he could leap forward, the monk gathered all his strength to block Ye Xunhuan.

"Go!" the monk roared in fury.

"Puff!"

Ye Xunhuan thrust his sword forward, piercing through the monk's abdomen. The sharp blade tore through his body, causing scarlet blood to gush out.

In the next moment, Ye Xunhuan swiftly withdrew his sword from the monk and prepared to chase Yan Qingjun.

But at that moment, the monk, who had fallen, wrapped his arms around Ye Xunhuan's right leg. Blood flowing from his mouth, he looked at Yan Qingjun with a grim expression: "Run quickly!"

Upon seeing the monk in such a state, Yan Qingjun snapped back to reality, shivering from the cold, and quickly scrambled to his feet, stumbling away in a panic.

Seeing the monk clutching his leg, a harsh glint immediately flashed in Ye Xunhuan's eyes!

"Swipe!"

With a swing of his sword, he severed the monk's arms!

"Ah!"

The monk let out a blood-curdling scream.

In the next instant, Ye Xunhuan was about to pursue Yan Qingjun.

Letting Yan Qingjun escape would be like releasing a tiger back into the wild, something Ye Xunhuan would not permit.

But just as Ye Xunhuan tried to give chase, a metallic taste surged in his throat, causing him to spit out a mouthful of scarlet blood!

Ye Xunhuan had already incurred serious injuries from fighting the monk. His recent attempt to kill the monk was solely driven by sheer will, but as he attempted to channel his Inner Strength to pursue Yan Qingjun, he was immediately backfired by it!

All at once, Ye Xunhuan's expression turned extremely grim.

"Ye Xunhuan, you're already gravely injured, destined never to catch Yan Qingjun!" the monk said with a twisted expression: "My death is bound to be relayed back, and you are destined to be scorned by all!"

Ye Xunhuan's gaze fell sharply on the monk: "Monk, you've ruined my plan!"

"Ye Xunhuan, you... you will meet a bad end!" the monk shouted with his last ounce of strength, "You'll suffer the same fate as Qin Fenghuang, dying an ill death!"

With those words, the monk fell silent, clearly dead beyond revival.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan's entire body jolted violently!

What... what did this monk mean?

Did he perhaps know something?

Ye Xunhuan wanted to ask, but there was no chance; the monk had already perished.

In just those few lines of conversation, Yan Qingjun had disappeared into the vast night.

This meant that even if Ye Xunhuan wanted to chase, he had no target.

He glanced at the monk's body and declared heavily: "Monk, perhaps you truly deserved to die!"

With those words, Ye Xunhuan dragged his heavy, weary body and slowly departed.

As for the bodies in the Yan family courtyard, Ye Xunhuan paid them no mind.

With Ye Xunhuan gone, quiet enveloped the Yan household. Apart from the howling wind, there was no sound, no one.

Before Ye Xunhuan's arrival, Yan Qingjun had driven everyone out of the Yan family, not wanting those loyal to the Yan family to get hurt. Therefore, the corpses and blood in the courtyard were destined to remain uncleaned!

After leaving the Yan family, Ye Xunhuan did not seek out Qin Rumeng, nor did he go to the Qin family or find Wei Zixu.

Ye Xunhuan was well aware of his physical condition at the moment.

Right now, it felt as though a raging fire was burning within his internal organs, as if it would reduce them to ashes, causing excruciating pain.

In his current state, seeking out Qin Rumeng would surely frighten her, as would Tang Yurou. Going to the Qin family would not be safe either; with Yan Qingjun gone, he could return at any moment, making the Yan family an unsafe place!

Though Ye Xunhuan could trust Wei Zixu, he did not want to implicate him, as Yan Qingjun knew of their relationship.

Thus, Ye Xunhuan sought out White Rose!

Indeed, White Rose was the safest place at the moment. Aside from the unconscious Yan Jingchu, no one in the entire capital knew of Ye Xunhuan's connection with White Rose.

Upon arriving at White Rose's residence, White Rose had already gone to sleep.

After all, it was late at night, and White Rose needed rest. However, White Rose was a light sleeper; as soon as Ye Xunhuan entered her room, she noticed immediately.

"Who's there?"

With that, White Rose turned on the bedside lamp.

As the lamp switched on, a light illuminated the room, revealing Ye Xunhuan's blood-soaked form!
