Changhui gently untied the red rope from the girl's corpse's arm.

Sure enough, the side of this safety clasp that was close to the wrist had a thin gold thread that ran through the entire section.

This is the year when Changqiong worshiped the master, and after fighting with a disciple of Izumo Peak and breaking the peace buckle, Changhui personally patched it up for her with the silk thread of the golden spirit silkworm.

"It's really Changqiong's thing." Changhui's heart sank and sank, she held the peace clasp in her palm, and looked down at the girl with a vague face.

This peace buckle is a relic left to her by Changqiong's mother, she has always cherished it, and she wears it closely, and Changhui has never seen her take the peace buckle away.

Now Ping An is clasped on the girl's wrist.

What is the relationship between her and Changqiong?

Just as Chang Hui and Chang Yi were staring at the girl, Elder Mai took out something from the storage jade plate and handed it to Yu Xi with a solemn expression, "Your Excellency, look at this." ”

It was an amber-like gem with a crystal surface and a red object the size of a fingernail condensed inside.

"It's an egg."

Elder Mai frowned, and worry appeared in his eyes, "Your Excellency, this is the egg of the Soul Eater Insect!" ”

For the first time, Yu Xi had heard of the "Soul Eater Worm".

Among the five sects and three sects of the Demon Dao, there is a Soul Devouring Gate.

Elder Mai said to Yu Xi: "The Soul Eater was originally a spirit worm cultivated by the Soul Eater Sect in order to cultivate Yin Souls, nourished by Yin Qi, and extremely cold. After the Yin Soul devours the Soul Eater, it can increase its cultivation by a little. But later, for some reason, this insect mutated and began to eat away at the Yin Soul in turn, and the Soul Eater Gate suffered heavy losses as a result, and it took a lot of effort to destroy all these insects. ”

This was already hundreds of years ago, and Elder Mai was still a Qi Realm cultivator who had just started cultivating at that time.

Since the Holy Land Sect has been stationed in Lingzhou Mountain all the year round, life is extremely boring, and the favorite thing for their disciples is to sit on the Wangshan Stone on the peak and share what they have heard.

The Soul Eater of the Soul Eater Gate has been the content of their conversation for a long time.

"Later, the bug disappeared for a long time, and it began to reappear in the last hundred years." Elder Mai remembered that in the past hundred years, the Soul Eater had appeared twice, and each time it had caused quite a few waves.

Once, in the extreme west of Beizhou, which is now the west of Dingkun Mountain, the Soul Eater swept through three towns overnight, killing thousands of people.

The people who left the Hate Sect tracked it down for a month, and in the end, they only caught two Foundation Builder Cultivators who cultivated Soul Eater Worms, and a few bugs.

The extreme west of Beizhou is now sparsely populated, and it is inseparable from this incident. At that time, at least tens of thousands of people who settled in the far west of Beizhou fled Beizhou and migrated south because of this incident.

The second time the Soul Eater appeared was in the Ghost Stream Ridge more than fifty years ago. That time, the Soul Eater Worm directly invaded the Medicine Valley of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and the output in the two Medicine Valleys was destroyed as a result, and there were hundreds of disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect who were injured by the Soul Eater Sect's divine soul.

The most infuriating thing is that the five sects and three sects joined forces, but they failed to find the real people behind the scenes, and only caught a few insignificant foundation building and Jindan realm casual cultivators.

I also know that such a big battle can't be done by these people, and they are just substitutes for the dead pushed by the people behind the scenes.

The two appearances of the Soul Eater Worm caused a lot of damage to the Demon Dao.

The third time is now.

"Your Excellency, eggs must have a mother to be cultivated." Elder Mai sighed and said with a sad face: "Since the eggs have appeared, it means that there must be someone secretly cultivating the female worm, perhaps the one who caused the first two storms...... Your Excellency, this matter should not be underestimated! ”

Yu Xi immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

I don't know if the other party was unintentional or deliberate, he chose such an eventful time, and also chose the location of the Soul Eater in the eastern part of Beizhou.

Doing this, maybe it is expected that the Demon Dao sent all the people to Dingkun Mountain, and now there is no manpower to search for this matter?

The people behind the scenes that can breed Soul Eaters must not have imagined that they will appear here.

Yu Xi said calmly: "Since you have caught up with this matter, then investigate it clearly, and don't let the Soul Eater Worm kill the people of Beizhou and the Demon Dao disciples again." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Elder Mai replied respectfully.

Seeing this, Changhui and Chang Yi on the side showed a little gratitude in their eyes, and they all said: "It's about our junior sister Changqiong, if there is something that can be arranged for us, you can mention it, and we should do our part to investigate this matter." ”

If you want to find out the origin of the Soul Eater Worm Egg, you still need to find out the identity of the black-robed man and the origin of these corpses in the jade plate he stored.

It's not that hard.

The flying boat hovered, hidden in the woods.

Elder Mai took Chang Yi out of the flying boat and traveled for several miles, but after a few breaths, he returned to the place where he had left the black-robed man just now.

At this time, his black robe was scattered beside him, and his exposed body was thin and rugged, and he was beaten by the caravan people and covered in blood, and there was hardly a piece of good meat on his body.

If you look closely, you can see that there is already more air intake and less air out.

The leader of the caravan in the early stage of Jindan was also injured, his left arm was weakly hanging at his side, and his right arm was grabbed with all his might, grabbing the collar of the black-robed man and lifting him from the ground, "The caravan that dared to rob Lao Tzu has been punished now, right?" Should! ”

The team leader took a sip on the face of the black-robed man, "Even if you don't have the flying boat just now, you won't survive today, don't inquire before you shoot, who is Lao Tzu doing things for, with you, you also want to rob Lao Tzu?" ”

The words fell, and the caravan leader threw the black-robed man to the ground with all his might.

With a "bang", the back of the black-robed man's head slammed into a raised stone on the ground.

Then his head tilted, and he stopped moving.

Chang Yi's divine soul came out of the ground, and the black mist wrapped his whole body, and his already illusory body was wrapped in the black mist, almost invisible to the naked eye.

I saw him float to the black-robed man, and the mist dispersed a little, enveloping the black-robed man in it.

Chang Yi stretched out his hand, probed between the nose of the black-robed man, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's not dead yet." ”

But death is not far off.

While the last breath of the black-robed man is still there, and the spirit is still in the body, you have to hurry up!

The sand on the ground moved slightly.

In the next moment, this area in the forest was completely wrapped in yellow sand, and after a few breaths, the black-robed man, the caravan, the caravan's carriage, and the injured black-hoofed spirit horse all disappeared in place.

In the distance, the people passing by outside the city glanced in the direction where the caravan was just now, and wondered: "Hey, wasn't there someone fighting just now?" ”

With his gaze, there was no one in the woods, and there were no aura fluctuations.

"Nothing, are you mistaken?"
