Ever since he had practiced the initial Dream Sword Intent, Shen Ci's cultivation had fallen into a bottleneck. The spiritual power in the dantian has long been full, but it has never taken that step and broken through to build a foundation.

Although there is a foundation building in the sect, Dan can help people build a foundation. But Qingyuan Zhenren told Shen Ci that there were many people who relied on pills to break through, but Shen Ci should not be like this. With her talent, she has made a natural breakthrough all the way, and rarely uses pills. This is an excellent, very solid foundation, and it would be a shame to use Tsukidan in the last step.

It just so happened that Fu Yunsheng had reached the middle stage of foundation building, and his entry had begun to become slow. Qingyuan Zhenren asked Shen Ci to join the Sword Hall in advance and Fu Yunsheng to carry out the tasks of the outer hall, go down the mountain to practice, and seek an opportunity to break through.

The tradition of the Sword Hall is a team of three people and a small team of seven people. The members of the inner hall of the Sword Ruling Hall are generally the disciples of each peak. However, the outer hall of the sword hall is different, and it is assigned according to each person's ability and qualifications. In the same group, not necessarily all disciples of the same peak.

The first time Shen Ci took on this task, it was only a small task, so he only sent a team of three.

In their three-person group, in addition to Shen Ci and Fu Yunsheng, there was also an inner disciple of Yao Guangfeng, Guan Ningning. It just so happens that this Guan Ningning is the sister of Shen Ci's old acquaintance Guan Wenqi.

Before the three of them left, Guan Wenqi had to come to visit, and entrusted Shen Ci and Fu Yunsheng to take care of his sister.

Shen Ci was naturally full of promises. Guan Ningning is a gentle and shy person, although he blushes when he can't say a few words, but he acts in a measured manner. Shen Ci got along with her quite well.

After two days of traveling, after getting acquainted, he often touched her little face and picked her chin. made Guan Ningning, who was easily shy, blush and coquettish from time to time.

Shen Ci looked as if he had discovered a new world, and said happily: "I know why those bullies like to flirt with little ladies!

Guan Ningning listened to her words, and her little face with a big slap was even more red and dripping blood: "Senior sister, senior sister, you, you are a girl, how can you be so bad!"

Shen Ci looked at her embarrassed appearance and smiled more and more happily.

Fu Yunsheng was on the side, and he could only sigh secretly. How did he feel that his junior sister was getting more and more wrong?

It wasn't until the three of them arrived at the destination of the trip that Shen Ci became serious.

Majia Town is a small town completely under the control of the Qinghe Sword Sect. The town, together with the five or six scattered villages around it, is the whole of Majia Town. When the three of them arrived on the street of Majia Town, they all felt bad. In broad daylight, there were no people on the streets, and it looked unusually deserted.

Even if there are three or two pedestrians walking by occasionally, they are in a hurry.

The three of them glanced at each other, and then went directly to the station of the Sword Hall here, and asked the disciples in the station about the situation.

It turned out that a few days later would be the day of the market in Majia Town. It was supposed to be the busiest time, but because of the recent events in the surrounding area, the people of the town were panicked. Not to mention going out, I can't wait to hide in the house every day.

Things started happening about half a month ago.

First of all, a big girl was lost in Lijia Village in the east. I slept last night, and when I woke up the next day, I was gone. The family invited relatives and friends to help them look everywhere, but they didn't find it for three or four days.

Later, the nearby villages also began to disappear for some reason.

Some of them disappeared in the middle of the night, and some of them just went to the river to wash their clothes and couldn't find anyone. There are also people who are feeding chickens and ducks in the yard, and in a blink of an eye, the basin containing chicken food smashes to the ground, and the person disappears without a trace!

In the next half a month, nine women disappeared!

Only then did some villagers have the courage to report to the station of the Zhijian Hall in Majia Town.

After the disciples stationed there investigated, these missing women were found in this ruined temple that had been deserted for many years!

But these nine women, without exception, were all drained of their essence and turned into terrifying dried corpses in disheveled clothes!

As soon as the news spread, everyone became dangerous, and they all suspected that there was a monster at work. The disciples stationed in the Sword Holding Hall have been investigating for many days, but they can't find this demon who wantonly kills women.

A few days ago, there was also a disappearance of the girl in Majia Town in the coming year. The person was never recovered, and the disciples stationed there reported to the main hall of the Sword Ruling Hall. Just as Shen Ci and the three of them were on their way over, last night, they found the abandoned body by a beggar by the river. is still sucked dry and died.

Because the murderer has not yet been caught, ten corpses are still parked in the station of the Sword Hall.

The three of them went to see it together.

In the empty room, ten corpses lay side by side, and the white cloth was lifted from them. I saw that every corpse was extremely miserable, gray and dying, with extremely hideous and distorted expressions, and bulging eyes, like joy and pain. It was as if a moment before he died had suffered a great change.

Guan Ningning glanced at it twice, then his face changed greatly, and he covered his mouth and ran out.

Shen Ci looked a little disgusted, but he was more angry at this cruel murderer in his heart!

The resident disciple who brought them in was called Liu Huai, the head of the resident disciples in Majia Town, and he continued to introduce them to them.

"These women are pitiful. Before the disappearance, all of them were Yunying's unmarried yellow flower daughters, and two of them were still engaged. The cause of death was rape and then murder, and he should have been greatly tortured before he died, and his body was full of bruises. Some were pinched, some were whipped, and several bones were broken. This murderer is so mad!"

"When we found the bodies, every piece of their clothes was torn to pieces, it was so miserable! Knowing that a good girl has become like this, several families have lost their families。。。。。。 ”

Shen Ci listened and watched, only to feel that a ball of anger in his chest was "rubbing" upward.

Now in this world, it is already difficult for women, what kind of mistake did these weak women who have no power to do to die so shamelessly!

Only by being strong can you protect yourself!

Fu Yunsheng looked at Shen Ci gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, and couldn't help but pat her clenched hands.

Only then did Shen Ci come back to his senses and let go of his fist.

"Let's go out and talk. Fu Yunsheng said.

Leaving the mortuary's house, the smell of the corpse was gone. All three of them relaxed, but their expressions were still tense.

Liu Huai said with an ugly face: "We must catch this murderer as soon as possible." This afternoon, the youngest daughter of Ma Da Geng's family in the town also disappeared。。。。。。 ”
