Chapter XXXIII: The Killing 1
That is, a month ago, the connection between the Tongtian Mountain Range and the Martial Arts Alliance was broken, which meant that there was a large loss of generalists from all races in the Tongtian Mountain Range.
However, the reason is unknown, which also means that Xingyan must start from the palace at the top of the Tongtian Mountain Range and slowly survey from top to bottom.
Su Yuling's strength has just recovered, and he still needs a period of recuperation, so he can't accompany Xingyan down the mountain for the time being, as for Long Zixuan, Xingyan originally thought that he would accompany him down the mountain, but he didn't expect Long Zixuan to stay in the palace on the grounds of retreat, but Bai Ling happily agreed, saying that he was willing to accompany Xingyan down the mountain together.
Xing Yan, who was only accompanied by Bai Ling, was a little embarrassed at first, but after a while, Xing Yan found that Bai Ling was actually a very cheerful and cute girl, and the common topics between the two gradually increased.
"You know, when I first saw you, I thought you were going to be a hard time with. โ
Xing Yan didn't expect Bai Ling's first impression of herself to be that she was not easy to get along with, she had always thought that she was a very friendly person, "Really? Why?"
"Because you have a special aura on you, so you didn't know it all along?"
"Aura, what aura?" is the aura of the second girl?
Bai Ling shook his head, "Actually, it's not, it's just that you feel like there's a killing aura around your body, and it feels like you've killed a lot of people." โ
"Really?" Xing Yan smiled bitterly, Bai Ling's senses were really keen, that's right, Xing Yan himself also knew that he was now carrying a killing aura on his body, and people with shallow internal force might not be able to feel this aura, but the people behind him could easily detect it.
Xing Yan and Bai Ling talked and laughed all the way, the height of the Tongtian Mountain Range was unimaginable, not to mention that the palace of the Ice Bird Clan was located in the middle of the Tongtian Mountain Range, the top of the highest mountain.
"Bai Ling, do you see if there are traces of a fight ahead?" Xing Yan pointed to a piece of snow in front of him, with dots of red marks on it, very similar to bloodstains.
"I think too, let's go, let's take a look. Bai Ling pulled Xingyan towards the snow.
Xingyan used the dead branches he picked up from the side of the road to remove the bloodstained snow surface, and below was a large pool of blood that had not yet coagulated.
"Gross. When Bai Ling saw the blood, she couldn't control herself a little, and ran to the side and retched.
Xingyan is okay, continue to observe the bloodstains in this vicinity, it should be left by the battle not long ago, and it has not been buried by the wind and snow, according to Xingyan's experience, it can be seen that these bloodstains were intentionally buried, Xingyan continued to rummage through the snow with dead branches, and sure enough, he found that under the nearby snow, there were blood stains that had been rubbed, it should be someone who dragged the deceased away, and his accomplice dealt with the traces left on the ground behind him.
Xingyan continued to stir at the snow, and the blood trail meandered to the front.
Xing Yan, who got the clue, returned to Bai Ling behind him and patted her on the back, "Are you okay, otherwise, you can go back." โ
Bai Ling wiped the corners of his mouth with an ugly face, and waved his hand at Xingyan: "No, it is possible to find clues to the disappearance of my clan, and I will definitely not back down!"
"In that case, then I'll help you. Xing Yan put Bai Ling's arm on his shoulder, and helped Bai Ling to follow the blood trail to find it.
After the blood trail extended to a boulder, Xing Yan crept behind the boulder with Bai Ling, and poked out a little with the boulder as a cover, after seeing the scene in front of him, Xing Yan almost rushed to the side to retch, Xing Yan tried his best to control the overturning river and sea in his stomach, while quietly observing everything in front of him.
Demon Cult! Sure enough, there are about a dozen members of the Demon Sect, who are dismembering an ice bird, the ice bird's internal organs were taken out and thrown at their feet very casually, and they were trampled on by several people, this general knowledge ice bird, its two eyes were wide open, from its eyes, Xing Yan could feel how much pain it suffered before it was born, this pain made Xing Yan shudder, in addition to this ice bird, on an icicle behind several people, there were two psychic ice bird clansmen tied, looking sluggish and wooden, I don't know what weird spell it had hit, and it had lost its vitalityใ
Really, it's so cruel, Xing Yan retracted her head, looked back at Bai Ling, who was looking at her anxiously, and hesitated to let her see it, Bai Ling couldn't bear the bloodstains just now, let alone this kind of scene, this is still her clan! When Xing Yan hesitated, Bai Ling had already slipped to the edge of the boulder and poked her head out.
Looking at Bai Ling, who was already watching, Xing Yan raised the first-level alert in his heart, afraid that Bai Ling would rush out, and he was also afraid that Bai Ling would faint.
However, Bai Ling was quiet, neither retching nor rushing out, if it weren't for Xing Yan feeling Bai Ling holding his hand harder and harder, trembling more and more, Xing Yan would have thought that Bai Ling had lost consciousness.
The two men fell into a deathly silence.
Bai Ling must be uncomfortable now, Xingyan couldn't bear to disturb her, after a long time, Bai Ling finally turned around, and Xingyan saw the two lines of tears shed by Bai Ling.
"Bai ......" Xingyan really didn't know how to comfort her.
"Xingyan, do you know......" Bai Ling's other hand only held Xingyan's hand, and choked up to Xingyan in her trembling voice, "Do you know, they are not Demon Sect ......"
What! It's not a cult!
Xing Yan pulled Bai Ling behind him, and looked out again, sure enough, in addition to their behavior being as ferocious as the Demon Sect, their internal force was not polluted by the Demon Qi, they turned out to be people from the Martial Arts League!
Xing Yan turned back again and saw Bai Ling's eyes gradually becoming godless.
"Bai Ling, don't be like this, cheer up. โ
"Xingyan, do you know, this is the White Fox Clan, that's the Tongtian Mountain Range"
