"Senior Brother Lu, what did you find?"

Xie Sanming held a straw in his mouth, and asked Lu Ming not far away with a relaxed expression.

Shaking his head, Lu Ming stood up.

"Died from a knife wound, and there are no traces of residual mana in his body. ”

In front of Lu Ming, there was a corpse lying on the ground.

The corpse looked ordinary, dressed in the linen clothes of ordinary villagers, with a calm expression on its face, no signs of struggle before death, and a hoe used by villagers to be placed next to it.

"That's where the weirdness begins. ”

This is the sixth death toll in the nearby mountain village in recent times.

The first five people died of the same cause as the person in front of them.

They were all villagers who went out to farm alone, and they were stabbed in the chest from behind, killing them with one blow, but the deceased did not resist, did not struggle, and still maintained the expression in front of him.

There is not the slightest remnant of mana in the body.

There are no other similarities between the names of the first five villages, most of them do not know each other, and there is no intersection.

If nothing else, the name of the village did not know the rest of the dead villagers.

The places of death are scattered in several villages dozens of miles in the vicinity, and now they have caused panic in the name of the village.

Originally, this kind of thing would not have alarmed Lu Ming and the others.

A few days ago, Lu Ming and the others chased and killed a Demon Sect disciple before they came to the vicinity.

When I heard about this in the city, I suspected that there were disciples of the Demon Sect who practiced blood sacrifices and practiced magic skills.

So he took the initiative to participate in this investigation.

After several corpse investigations, no traces of mana were found on the corpses.

There are no weird sacrificial items either.

At the scene of the death, nothing was left except for the deceased himself.

The deceased all have one thing in common, they were stabbed through the heart from behind and killed directly, the deceased were all honest villagers and had not offended anyone.

That's weird.

The local mortal city lord couldn't find any clues.

Lu Ming and the others did not find any special traces from the corpses in front of them.

After these incidents, at least one thing was determined, although there was no trace of mana, most of it was caused by cultivators.

The reason is very simple, the deceased has no traces of struggle, and his expression has not changed, and he died in the open space of a deserted mountain village.

If an ordinary mortal did it, even if it was someone who knew the deceased, when the deceased went out to do farm work, he would not let the other party stand behind him with a murder weapon in his hand like this, and there would be no reaction.

What's more, most of these deceased people have nothing to do with each other, and they should not know the same person at the same time.

Even if you know it, during this period of time, after these several deaths, you will not turn your back on others alone and let people kill them.

It should be that the cultivator quietly walked behind the deceased and then killed the deceased with a single sword.

But there are no special traces of mana.

It is not for the purpose of practicing evil exercises.

Then the motive for the murder is even more puzzling.

What was the motive of this murderer?

Lu Ming's brain was a little insufficient, so he just went down the mountain to look for traces of the Demon Sect, how could he still be involved in such a strange murder incident.

Especially today.

In the case that he and others were obviously involved, the murderer dared to do it nearby, how bold he was.

looked at Xie Sanming, who was next to him with a relaxed face.

Lu Ming was a little irritable.

"I've been working this for a long time, and my head hurts. What's the matter with you being in no hurry and so confident?"

"Senior Brother Xie, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

Xie Sanming saw Lu Ming looking at him and spit out the straw in his mouth.

"Senior Brother Lu, don't worry. ”

To be honest, the main reason for coming out with Senior Brother Lu to investigate the situation was to avoid the nagging master.

looked at the corpses on the ground and said to Lu Ming: "Senior brother, none of these dead people have left any clues. Let him be carried back and buried first, and there will be nothing left of the corpse. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lu Ming nodded.

looked at Xie Sanming: "And then?"

Xie Sanming smiled and analyzed Lu Ming.

"Senior brother, you see, the first one was twelve days ago, this one is this morning, the specific time is not regular, but on average, there is about one deceased in two days. ”

As he spoke, he took a branch and began to draw on the ground.

"Draw a range around these twelve deceased, and the farthest two are probably more than fifty miles apart. ”

"At such a distance, and every deceased person must have been a peasant who went out alone. ”

"Now it is excluded that ordinary people commit crimes, ordinary people cannot do this without detailed information. ”

"The target can be locked on the cultivator, whether the other party is on the righteous path or the demonic path, if you do such a thing, you will inevitably be a person who has already entered the demon. ”

"The modus operandi is hidden, the purpose is not clear, and it is difficult to apprehend. ”

"At this time, we can't find clues, but we can consider luring the target to take the initiative. ”

"Let the city lord inform all the people in the vicinity, and in the next few days, let everyone not go out alone. ”

"We didn't hide our identities when we came here, but the other party still didn't stop committing crimes. Either the other party doesn't take us seriously, or they are already crazy, or they don't take us seriously, or the other party is indeed carrying out a special evil sacrifice this time. ”

"Either way, the other party will definitely do it again in the next few days. ”

"We can be a bait, within a radius of dozens of miles nearby, there are no other village names to go out alone, and the names of the villages that go out must have our people secretly following behind them, and when the time comes, as long as the target appears, it can be solved. ”

"I analyzed, the other party's cultivation should not be very high, and there should be no threat to us, otherwise there would not be so few village names killed. ”

Lu Ming nodded, agreeing with Xie Sanming's method.

"Senior Brother Xie, it's up to you to find the candidate to go out, I'll go and inform the city lord and restrain the nearby villagers not to go out recently. ”

"Good. ”

Xie Sanming smiled and nodded.

It stands to reason that there is a way to solve the matter, but Lu Ming's hanging heart has not been put down.

This matter is a bit weird, in the classics collected in Qingyunmen for many years, there has never been such a sacrificial method.

Not even anything like it.

He and the others are also elite disciples, and with Uncle Feiyun on the side, no matter what you say, you should put your mind at ease.

But now, the special feeling in Lu Ming's heart is getting stronger and stronger.

"I guess it's the first time I've encountered something like this. ”

Lu Ming thought.

looked at Xie Sanming.

Xie Sanming has been a little free since he left Uncle Feiyun, he is almost the same cultivation as himself, but he has no bad premonition, it should be just his own reason.

······

Lu Xueqi pinched the law to fight against the elders of the Hehuan Sect, and at the same time paid attention to the surrounding situation.

Su Ru fought against the elders of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect alone, and had an advantage in a short period of time, but there was still a group of Demon Sect disciples not far away, if the Ten Thousand Poison Sect elders decided to let many Demon Sect disciples take action regardless of their identity, Su Ru would only be defeated.

Song Daren and Tian Ling'er joined forces to fight against the elders of the Ghost King Sect, and it seems that they can still support it, the two are in the same vein, and they cooperate tacitly, although their cultivation is not as good as each other, but under the two of them, the other party has no good way to win for a while.

The most dangerous is Wen Min.

Although Zhou Yin of the Immortal Hall had spent a lot of mana in the battle with Su Ru just now, it was still not something that Wen Min could fight alone, and the situation could collapse at any time.

Especially that Zhou Yin held a small cone-shaped magic weapon, which was very weird and difficult to defend, if it weren't for the defense of the Six Harmony Mirror, I am afraid that Wen Min would be difficult to support.

The Tianya Sword emitted a rich blue brilliance, flying across the sky with tremendous power, constantly slashing at the bell that emitted turquoise light.

Every attack was fended off by the glow of the bell.

The Hehuan Sect elder on the opposite side always had a smile on the corner of his mouth, the Tianya Sword was indeed powerful, and he was able to maintain his attack even in the face of stronger opponents in a short period of time.

But Tianya Sword, as a Nine Heavens Divine Soldier, consumes a lot of mana.

After this period of strong time, when Lu Xueqi's mana was weak, he could only let the other party counterattack.

The disciples of Qingyun Sect have been retreating for a while.

Su Ru has been paying close attention to the situation in the field.

shouted to a few people: "Go!"

A powerful light erupted all over his body, and the divine sword 'Mo Xue' erupted with great might, forcing the elders of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect on the opposite side to retreat.

At the same time, he flew towards Wen Min.

Seeing Su Ru killing him, a grim sneer appeared at the corner of Zhou Yin's mouth.

"I want to leave now, it's too late!"

The law in his hand changed, and he whispered in his mouth: "Leave the cone!"

The small cone magic weapon broke away from Wen Min's place, gathered a rich black light, and shot towards Su Ru!

Su Ru had just used means to force away the elders of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, thinking that Zhou Yin, who had consumed a huge amount of Immortal Hall just now, was no longer in much danger, but he didn't expect that the other party would see a fierce attack coming towards him in a blink of an eye.

In a panic, he only had time to instinctively sacrifice the divine sword Moxue to resist the cone of departure.

"Peng!"

With a loud bang, Su Ru was shocked and retreated.

Seeing this opportunity, the elders of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect behind him hurriedly killed him.

A handful of faint green poison swayed towards Su Ru.

Su Ru stabilized her mind, didn't dare to be careless, and shrouded herself in a blue light.

Excalibur Ink Snow fluttered and danced to resist the attack of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate Elders.

Wen Min saw that Su Ru was being besieged, and urged his immortal sword to kill Zhou Yin with all his might, and his mouth was full of law.

Zhou Yin looked back at Wen Min's flying sword, and with a flick of his sleeves, a wave of mana came out, blocking Wen Min's flying sword from his body, and he couldn't save it.

"Little girl, do you really think you are the opponent of this Zhanglai?"

After blocking Wen Min's flying sword, Zhou Yin urged the detachment cone to attack Su Ru again.

With such an opportunity, as long as you can win Su Ru, it will be a great achievement.

Even if this action was made by the elders of the four major factions at the same time, the greatest credit at that time would still belong to the Immortal Hall!

"Mother!"

Tian Ling'er was anxious when she saw her mother being besieged.

Ignoring the opponent of the Ghost King Sect in front of him, Amber Zhu Aya flew and took himself towards Su Ru.

The elder among the ghost kings looked at Su Ru, then at Tian Ling'er, sneered, and did not stop him.

It's just that the means of attacking Song Daren have instantly increased a lot.

Song Daren's pressure increased, and the immortal sword 'Ten Tigers' trembled.

He glanced back at the dangerous situation in Suru.

He was silent, but gritted his teeth and urged the Ten Tiger Immortal Sword with all his strength to fight against the Ghost King Sect Elder.

Su Ru, who originally had a slight advantage in the face of the elders of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect alone, was attacked by the Liren Cone and besieged by the two of them, and now the situation has taken a turn for the worse.

In less than a moment, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Uncle Shi!"

Seeing that Su Ru was injured, Wen Min shouted angrily, and the fairy sword attacked Zhou Yin even more violently.

But Zhou Yin's strength is strong after all, and every time he just waves his sleeves, he blocks Wen Min's attack from his body.

Instead, he controlled the detachment cone and cooperated with the elders of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect to attack Su Ru non-stop.

Tian Ling'er controlled Amber Zhu Aya and looked at the situation, and then attacked Zhou Yin and killed him.

Zhou Yin's brows furrowed.

Looking back at the Elder of the Ghost King Sect who was pressing Song Daren's onslaught, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

What is the idea of the other party, how can he not know?

It's just that it's important to deal with Su Ru now, and it's too late to deal with him, and when Su Ru returns to the temple this time, the other party will naturally suffer bad consequences, but if Su Ru is allowed to escape because of this, there is nothing he can do about the other party at that time.

After Tian Ling'er joined, Zhou Yin's pressure increased greatly.

can only control the detachment cone to defend and deal with the two disciples of this Qingyun Sect at the same time, and there is no energy to attack Su Ru again.

But even if he was besieged by the two, Zhou Yin, as an elder of the Immortal Hall, and with a powerful and strange magic weapon in his hand, he still had the upper hand.

When facing Wen Min, Wen Min was protected by the Qingyunmen Treasure Liuhe Mirror, and he couldn't attack it in a short period of time from the human cone.

But when attacking Tian Ling'er, there was no powerful magic weapon to resist.

Although Amber Zhu Aya is also a powerful magic weapon that is both offensive and defensive, it is not as capable of blocking all attacks as the Liuhe Mirror.

Soon, Tian Ling'er was injured by the unguardable strange attack of the detachment cone.

Seeing that he couldn't defend against the other party's strange attacks, a trace of determination flashed in Tian Ling'er's eyes, and he glanced at Su Ru, who was no longer suppressed by the elders of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and then at Song Daren, who was already seriously injured by the Ghost King Sect elder who had been hit again and again.

Simply gave up the defense, and the imperial envoy Amber Zhu Aya attacked Zhou Yin with all his might.

"Bound God!"

Under the urging of Tian Ling'er, Amber Zhu Aya turned into countless flutters, and the Dao was entangled towards Zhou Yin, and she was bound inward with all her strength.

"Bold!"

Seeing that Tian Ling'er dared to give up her defense and attack herself, Zhou Yin shouted angrily!

There is a huge pressure all over his body, if he doesn't make a counterattack, even a strong person like himself will be crushed into mud by this binding force if he doesn't pay attention to it!

Zhou Yin felt the danger, did not dare to be careless, and withdrew the cone of departure to resist the opponent's attack with all his might.

Seeing that Zhou Yin was temporarily restrained in place, Wen Min hurriedly urged his immortal sword to attack Zhou Yin, weakening Zhou Yin's resistance and reducing the pressure on Tian Ling'er.

Lu Xueqi has been paying attention to the changes in the situation on the field.

Seeing this, he glanced back at his opponent.

With a wave of his hand, the small bell that had been hidden in his arms flew out in a blink of an eye, exuding a misty glow and hanging in the sky.

The glow emitted by the small bell completely enveloped the Hehuan Sect Elder.

At the same time, Lu Xueqi took back the Tianya Sword in his hand, and the whole person flew high in the sky.

He muttered a mantra in a low voice.

As the incantation sounded in Lu Xueqi's mouth.

A violent thunder rolled up between the heavens and the earth, and countless clouds swirled and converged to form a huge funnel suit.

Lu Xueqi's figure standing in the sky looks bright and strong!
