If it was in the past, this matter would make Li Xunlian hate, but it would not make him suspicious. After all, the case of the evil demon outside the Dao Ru Mao drinking blood or refining the pill with people had happened earlier.

But the current situation is special, but there are anomalies, and we must not let it go.

With this in mind, Li Xunlian did not rush to see Hu Wan, but walked back and forth in the fourth district of the imperial city and continued to listen to the news.

After two or three hours of strolling, it was already dark, and no useful information was heard except for the name of one of the small villages.

The name of the village is Blackstone Village, which is named after the nearby mountains that produce blackstone ore and iron, and is not far away, and has access to the mainland.

Li Xunlian made a decision immediately, without the slightest delay, and set off directly.

It is impossible to take away more than 100 big living people overnight without leaving the slightest clue, even if Shenhai is powerful, it is not possible. Therefore, the scene must have been destroyed, either the people who acted were extremely meticulous, or the officials did not care, in short, it was unreasonable not to leave clues.

Along the way, passing through a lot of low mountains and small forests, this is the periphery of the imperial city, there are not many idle and miscellaneous factions, and the nearby villages are also early to put out the fire and rest, a calm.

The sky seemed to be unusually gloomy tonight, a misty gloom rather than a cloud. The sky was full of stars, but the light was dim and somewhat eerie.

Li Xunlian had been on the road during the day, and was a little thirsty at the moment, and when he caught a glimpse of the bright fire in the distant village, he decided to go and beg for water.

The village was not very far away, only three or five miles from the present place, but the road was quite crooked, and if it was to be close, it would have to climb over a bald rocky hill.

With Li Xunlian's foot strength and skills, it is easy to climb mountains and mountains, and after half a pillar of incense, he has already appeared at the top of the low mountain.

From a distance, there is a clearing in the middle of the village, and the crowd gathers in the clearing, more than 100 men, women and children, who are surrounding a bonfire at this moment, as if they are performing some kind of ritual.

At this time, the wind was light, the bonfire was burning, and the blazing fire rose to the sky, thinking that it was blocked by this low mountain before, so it only revealed a little light.

The ceremony was held late at night, there was no such custom in the local area, perhaps just after the New Year, the people in the village collectively paid tribute to the deceased of their ancestors, and Li Xunlian did not doubt that he had him, so he wanted to leave.

At this moment, in the dense mountains and forests on the southeast side, a white shadow suddenly swept out, and looking at its direction, it was going straight to the village.

With his eyebrows slightly raised, Li Xunlian stopped his movements, held his breath and watched carefully, he faintly felt in his heart that something was about to happen.

Because he was too far away, Li Xunlian couldn't feel the other party's Xuan Qi cultivation, but this person's speed was very fast, if he put aside innate factors such as body veins, his strength should be around the middle and late stages of Gu Xuan.

Suddenly, the white shadow fell into the village, heading straight for the villagers around the bonfire.

Or because of the distance, Li Xunlian couldn't hear their conversation clearly, but after a short conversation, the villagers' voices became louder, as if there was a quarrel, and then they suddenly exclaimed and fled in all directions.

This is a gradual process, which means that the person expresses some kind of idea or willingness in the conversation with the villagers that the villagers resist, and the villagers' voices gradually become louder to indicate that they do not want to obey, and there are exclamations, which should be caused by the person's words of intimidation, or directly revealing the cultivation as a deterrent.

At this point, Li Xunlian could no longer watch from the wall, he had to go to the village as soon as possible, otherwise the villagers would probably be harmed.

The urgency of the hurricane wind unfolded, the speed ran to the extreme, about half a pillar of incense, Li Xunlian was already close to the village, the villagers were still shouting, at this time Li Xunlian could vaguely hear it, they shouted the content was simple and repetitive, and the theme was only two words - demons!

"Demons?" Li Xunlian's heart sank, but he didn't really think that the white shadow was some kind of demon, to be honest, many villagers due to lack of knowledge, they believe in demons and monsters, but whenever they encounter things that they can't recognize, they will associate with that. Some evil sects are crooked and weird, and if they are displayed, they can also be regarded as demons in their eyes.

The movement of his mind did not affect the speed, and a moment later Li Xunlian had already entered the village, but in the short time he entered the village, the exclamation gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a cry. The crying disappeared faster, and by the time Li Xunlian could clearly see the central bonfire, all life had fallen silent.

There was a wind blowing, and the coolness invaded the thin clothes, Li Xunlian felt a little cold, the kind of cold that was stared at in the dark......

Turning his head suddenly, at the moment of turning around, Xuan Qi condensed his fingers, volleyed out, and a ray of light went straight to the weeds five zhang away on the left behind him.

There were still some dry firewood for the winter in the weedy pile, and this time it was hit by the Xuan Qi, and there was a chaotic sound of gaba gaba, weeds flew sideways, and sawdust splashed everywhere.

"Don't kill me...... Don't kill me!"

The frightened cries were sharp and hoarse, and a figure dressed in gray linen fled quickly, crawling out of the village.

Li Xunlian frowned slightly, judging from this person's actions, he was just a villager who was too frightened. But it's just a villager, how can Li Xunlian feel a chill down his spine, he definitely has an extremely yin vulture gaze staring behind his back, otherwise he would definitely not have that kind of feeling.

Looking around vigilantly, there was nothing unusual, Li Xunlian flashed forward to stop the man, the man turned around and ran again when he saw this, Li Xunlian made a hand to seal his acupuncture points.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me...... My blood doesn't taste good, my flesh doesn't taste good......"

Ru Mao drinks blood, is it really just the work of evil demons?

Hearing this person's words, Li Xunlian couldn't help but think deeply, Qingxiao Kingdom has rarely had such incidents since Qingxiao Emperor took over, and the latest time was only heard by Li Xunlian in the mouth of the big shopkeeper.

Xuan Xiu is broad and profound, and naturally has to derive thousands of variations, among which the practice of Zhou Tian is for ordinary monks, and the bloodthirsty meat is for evil cultivation.

More than ten years ago, there was a large-scale massacre of villagers by evil cultivators, but according to the big shopkeeper, the inn personally took action, and it had completely wiped it out, cut off the source, and ceased to exist.

"Don't be afraid, uncle, I'm here to save you. ”

This is an old man who looks like he is in his sixties, his face is furrowed, he thinks that because of many years of labor, his skin is very dark, and his back spine is also a little rickety, at this moment he was sealed by Li Xunlian and could not move, he could only close his eyes in horror, and begged for mercy in his mouth.

Hearing Li Xunlian's words, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and after seeing that he was a white-skinned and handsome son, his expression gradually eased and calmed down a little.

Li Xunlian's lazy eyes seemed to be born with affinity, and then he said a few words of reassurance, and the old man finally dared to say something else.

"Little brother, save me, the village has been demonized, and you want to eat people's hearts raw!"

"Don't worry, old man, speak slowly. Li Xunlian gently put his hand on his shoulder, injecting Xuan Qi to help him stabilize his mind and unlock the acupuncture points.

The old man was unrestrained, and his psychology was a little relaxed, and after looking around, he said: "A while ago, there was a Taoist in the village, that is a demon, tonight I deceived everyone to worship my ancestors, that is, I want to slaughter him collectively, for him to drink blood and eat meat! Little brother, help me, everyone in the village is dead, save me!"

After all, the old man was overly frightened, and it was inevitable that he would be a little incoherent when he recalled the terrible things that had happened before, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and then it became "save me, save me", but he did say some important points.

Taoists, demons, coaxing, collective slaughter, drinking blood and eating meat......

"Except for coaxing, it is indeed like a method of evil cultivators. Li Xunlian pondered slightly, and said: "Don't worry, uncle, I will not only save you, but also catch the murderer for you and avenge your hatred." ”

Of course, this is just a word of relief, and even the murderer doesn't know who he is, so how to talk about revenge.

"Think about it, the man's physical features. ”

"Don't think about it carefully, it's the purpose!" the old man seemed to be a little excited, and described it by comparison: "That person has a nose turned upside down, red eyebrows, sharp teeth, and blue eyes...... He's right behind you!"

At this moment, even if Li Xunlian was bold and careful, he was still standing upside down, and while suddenly looking back, he turned his Xuan Qi to the limit and slapped it with one palm.

However, there was nothing behind him, and there was no half a figure!

In vain, he found that something was wrong, and when he turned back, the old man's appearance had changed greatly, with a nose turned upside down, red eyebrows, sharp teeth, and blue eyes, which was exactly what he had just described!

"Wow quack, the boy is astute. ”

The voice was not disguised, it was still as sharp and hoarse as before, but it did not feel strange under the appearance of the old man in the countryside before, and now it was changed to this appearance, and it was scalping.

Li Xunlian naturally had a move at the same time as he turned around, and the "old man" had already made a move before he spoke, and he made a bone sword, which should be a dagger to be precise, and the cold light flashed, and he stabbed directly at the Xuan Qi that Li Xunlian urged.

Sneer......

The bone sword breaks through the mysteries and easily dissolves the mystical qi. He originally sneak attacked, and Li Xunlian, who wanted to stab Li Xunlian's heart, now turned into a frontal attack, and with a bone sword, he stabbed his neck obliquely.

While dodging, Li Xunlian quickly judged in his heart that this person was fast, that kind of agile fast, like a beast, if you describe it more accurately, it is very similar to a monkey.

Moreover, although this person's bone sword can break through the mysteries, he does not have the mystical qi in his moves, to be precise, he doesn't have any moves, just the kind of shot that simply wants your life. However, when he made a move, Li Xunlian could feel a strange aura, similar to Xuanqi, and the same thing.

As soon as he felt it, Li Xunlian felt that the Xuan Qi in his body seemed to be restless and jumping, if there was a precursor to a breakthrough.

You know, he has just broken through, and he shouldn't be able to break through again in such a short time.

However, at this moment, Li Xunlian didn't have time to think about it, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, seeing that he couldn't dodge, his mind flashed, the Sumeru ring was full of light, and the dragon shadow sword was suddenly unsheathed.

The blue light is like a match, blooming!

Old man, it's more accurate to describe it as a weirdo now. It was only an instant when the sword was released, and the strange man didn't know why he turned over and jumped away, settled down three zhang away, and stared at Li Xunlian up and down.

Li Xunlian is naturally the same, before he finds out the specific strength of the other party Li, it is not a wise choice to act rashly.

When they looked at each other for half a cup of tea, the strange man seemed to be about to speak again, his mouth not seeming to be large, but when he grinned, it was almost as if it had been torn open, and it opened directly to the edge of his jawbone, revealing a mouth full of fangs.

At this moment, the light flickered again in the direction of the low mountain. looked at it intently, but saw that the person who came was a young Taoist priest.

This time, Li Xunlian really felt the fluctuation of Xuan Qi, which was the unique fluctuation of the Dao Yan Mystery, and it was indeed a person of the Dao Sect.

"Thief, where to go!" shouted the Taoist as he rushed over.

Sensing that something was wrong, when Li Xunlian turned his head, the strange man grinned at him, and ran on all fours like a wild beast, and disappeared into the dark night.
