Chapter 137: Murder (1)

At the edge of the junction between the ghost world and the Confucian world, there is a planet called 'Wuling Star'.

Wuling Star is a planet inhabited by human beings, although the population is large, but the resources are scarce, there are naturally not many cultivators, there is only one cultivation sect on the entire planet, called Wuling Gate, the number of people is only five or six hundred, it is a sect that does not enter the stream.

Under normal circumstances, a planet like this, where there is no powerful sect in charge, and it is located in such a sensitive area as the junction of the ghost and Confucian worlds, and the population is large, it will basically become the primary target of the ghosts in the ghost world.

In fact, hundreds of years ago, Wulingmen was indeed miserable, once they encountered a large number of ghost attacks, they had to move, not even the mountain gate, there was no fixed residence, and the mortals of Wulingxing were also very miserable, often plundered by ghosts, and the day was precarious.

Later, in order to protect himself, the head of the Wuling Sect took refuge in Haoran Mansion and paid a certain amount of pills to Haoran Mansion every year to seek the blessing of Haoran Mansion.

Wuling Xing's resources are not much, and they have to dedicate a large part of Haoran Mansion, and the resources left for Wuling Sect are even less pitiful, and when this matter was first raised, it caused protests from the entire sect.

It was still the head of Wulingmen who was under tremendous pressure and overrode public opinion and decided this matter.

Facts have proved that the decision of the head of Wuling is right, in the past few hundred years, with the protection of Haoran Mansion and several encirclements and suppressions, Wulingxing no longer has a large number of ghost attacks, Wulingmen has also built its own mountain gate, and the sect has grown and developed in a stable manner.

However, the peace of Wuling Star was suddenly shattered a few days ago.

Just a hundred miles away from Wulingmen, a small town was mysteriously attacked by a group of people, and thousands of people in the town disappeared overnight, leaving only a pool of blood, which was shocking.

As the only cultivation sect on this planet, Wulingmen enjoys the worship of the world on weekdays, and when this kind of thing happens, it is naturally an unshirkable responsibility, so it sent people to the town overnight to inquire about the situation, and as a result, the thirty disciples found nothing, and they couldn't find out what happened in the town at all?

There is only one thing that can be determined, judging from the bloodstains, there must have been a battle in the town, and those thousands of mortals are afraid that they are already more than lucky.

Just when Wulingmen was confused, the same thing happened in a second town, and in the same way, thousands of mortals disappeared, dead or alive, only a pile of bloodstains, shocking.

Those who can do this kind of thing one after another are definitely not mortals, and there is no reason for human cultivators to kill mortals, only ghosts, and they need to rely on the blood and essence of mortals to improve their cultivation.

Don't think about it, it must be the ghosts who have taken away the mortals of the two towns, just like catching livestock, captured them back to the ghost world, raised them in captivity, and when they need to, they are taking them out and eating them.

This kind of thing, in some chaotic areas, is a very common thing.

In the past, Wuling Xing often happened like this, but after Wulingmen and Haoran Mansion formed an alliance, Haoran Mansion sent people to encircle and suppress it several times, plus Haoran Mansion entered the ghost world again, which made the ghosts of the ghost world tired of self-preservation, which made Wuling Xing settle down, and this kind of thing did not happen again for hundreds of years.

Unexpectedly, after many years, the ghost dared to make trouble again and kill it back?

As soon as the elders of Wulingmen heard this, they immediately wanted to report it to Haoran Mansion and ask Haoran Mansion to send people to encircle and suppress ghosts, but they were stopped by the head of Wulingmen.

That's right, Wulingmen is indeed attached to Haoran Mansion, but not everything has to rely on Haoran Mansion. If something goes wrong, let Haoran Mansion help, then what will Haoran Mansion think of Wulingmen?

The weak, if you want to rely on the strong, you can't just rely on, you must also prove that you have a certain value, have a certain strength, so that you can be dependent, if everything is waiting for the strong to solve, after a long time, the strong feel annoyed, will kick you off, or eat you.

Therefore, Wulingmen must prove that it is still valuable.

Moreover, even if Haoran Mansion is notified of this matter, what should they say? There is no evidence at all, and if thousands of mortals disappear, they will alarm Haoran Mansion, how does Haoran Mansion look at you? In front of your own home, such a big thing has happened, and you can't find any clues, Wulingxing is still Wulingmen's territory?

Haoran Mansion will be very suspicious of the strength of Wulingmen!

Therefore, Wulingmen is not unable to ask Haoran Mansion for help, the premise is that it must encounter a crisis that Wulingmen cannot solve, so that Haoran Mansion can be notified, and some small problems must be solved by themselves.

The head of the Wuling Sect immediately made a decision, sent four hundred disciples, scattered them, and lurked in different towns one by one, secretly observed, and figured out the situation first.

As a result, his move of casting a wide net really worked wonders.

In less than two days, the disciples came with the news that they saw nearly a hundred ghosts descending from the sky and wantonly killing mortals in a small town in the west.

The head of the Wuling Sect immediately made a decision, gathered his disciples, and surrounded and killed him.

However, when they arrived in the town, it was still too late, the mortals in the town were gone, the ghosts were nowhere to be seen, and the whereabouts of the Wulingmen disciple who was lurking in the dark were also unknown, only a woman in white who was as cold as frost, lying in a pool of blood, life and death were unknown.

The head of Wuling Sect visits Haoran Mansion almost every year, after all, he has to pay the annual salary to Haoran Mansion, so he knows something about the people of Haoran Mansion, especially the outstanding talents of the younger generation.

The head of the Wuling Sect recognized the unconscious woman in white on the spot as an outstanding disciple of the Third Mansion of Haoran Mansion, 'Shen Ningxue'!

After observing the situation nearby, the head of Wuling Sect immediately figured out the whole thing, it must have been Shen Ningxue who killed those ghosts, but she herself was seriously injured, and she couldn't stop the ghosts from taking the prisoners away, so she became what she is now.

Without the slightest hesitation, the head of the Wuling Sect brought Shen Ningxue back to the mountain gate, treated her by all means, and reported the matter to Haoran Mansion.

This matter immediately aroused the great attention of Haoran Mansion.

As early as two years ago, Shen Ningxue was ordered to guard Huangquan Cave, but because she suffered a large number of ghost attacks, her whereabouts are unknown, many people thought she was dead, died under the cruel attack of ghosts, it is said that for this matter, the three mansion lords of Haoran Mansion were also furious, personally rushed to the ghost world, and killed three thousand ghosts, only to eliminate the anger in their hearts. It can be seen that the Lord of the Three Mansions really values this disciple very much.

Who would have thought that a person who had disappeared for two years would suddenly come back?

So, the three mansion lords ordered overnight to let their disciples rush to Wuling Star to check the truth of the matter, if it was really Shen Ningxue, then bring it back to Haoran Mansion for treatment, after all, the pill in Haoran Mansion was many times better than Wuling Xing.
