It was almost noon the next day when Qu Fan and his party returned to Zhangjia Village, and the rescued women and children from Hejia Village had arrived in Zhangjia Village as early as the night before, and the elder had already arranged for them.

Under the big tree in the courtyard of the old man, there is a round wooden table, three feet, about half a meter high, on the table, there is a pot of tea, three antique cups, the cup is steaming, exuding a faint fragrance of tea, smelling refreshing, all the fatigue of the sudden feeling is swept away.

The elder Lichang, Qu Fan, and Zhang Li sat opposite each other around the table.

Zhang Li told the old lieutenant in detail about all the circumstances of this trip to Huifeng Village to rescue the women and children in various villages. Zhang Li cheered and said for nearly ten minutes.

Especially the bandit Wu Fei suddenly broke through the secret realm, how did Qu Fan kill the bandit Wu Fei who broke through the realm with a sword at the critical moment of life and death.

When he said that the children of the abducted women in the rest of the villages were taken away by the mysterious man in black, the look of worry on his face was undisguised.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Li picked up a cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!" Then he said to the old chief: "Those women and children were taken away by the mysterious man in black, I don't know what happened now, can you still find them?"

The old man pondered for a while and said, "If you don't know the identity of the mysterious person in black, it will be difficult to find clues and find the whereabouts of the woman and child?"

Qu Fan asked: "What did the mysterious man in black do with taking away such a woman and child, what do you think, Lao Lichang?" Qu Fan felt that Lao Lichang was the oldest and should be well-informed.

The old man was silent for a moment, and suddenly saw that his face turned a little pale, as if he had thought of something terrifying, and said two words to himself: "Blood sacrifice!"

"Blood Sacrifice!" Qu Fan and Zhang Li exclaimed in surprise.

Then, Zhang Li stood up unconsciously, and his voice raised a few points: "Old Chief, you said that the mysterious man in black wants to take the blood of a woman and a child?" Zhang Li only felt that if the black-clothed mysterious man was so alive and blood-sacrificed, then the black-clothed mysterious man was even more cruel than the bandits, and the anger in his chest was difficult to control, and his emotions were excited for a while.

Qu Fan observed his words and looks, and saw that the old chief's expression was wrong, and asked, "Old chief, what did you think of?"

"Hmm" The old chief stretched out his hand and pressed down, motioning for Zhang Li to sit down first and listen to him.

Zhang Lifang sat down and listened to the elder say, "That was seventy years ago......

Lao Li spoke for more than half an hour before he finished this past. Qu Fan and Zhang Li listened carefully, and only then did they understand what was going on with this blood sacrifice, no wonder the old chief looked pale just now.

Seventy years ago, the old chief was still a promising young man with amazing qualifications, talent and appearance, obsessed with cultivation, in order to get more cultivation resources, he left Zhangjia Village to participate in the annual election of foreign disciples of the fox clan, and was selected because of his outstanding performance and extraordinary qualifications. After obtaining the cultivation resources provided by the fox clan, the speed of the elder Li's cultivation skyrocketed, and it took less than a month to cultivate to reach the peak realm of the secret realm, and he was only one step away from the realm of turning into a dragon, which quickly alarmed the high-level within the fox clan. A month later, the old lieutenant was promoted to an inner disciple by the fox clan and focused on training.

Not long after the elder was promoted to an inner disciple, a major event occurred in Qingyang County in the northern region under the jurisdiction of the fox clan. At the beginning of this matter, it was similar to the current situation, first the women and children in the villages were taken away, the villages were destroyed, and then gradually expanded to the county, the situation became more and more serious, and finally it alarmed the high-level of the Sky Fox Clan, the master of the Yuqing realm in the high-level of the Sky Fox Layer, used secret techniques to track down the group of evil demons in the Netherworld Temple who were preparing a huge blood sacrifice in the Red Blood Cave, in order to resurrect their blood demon ancestors who had been dead for thousands of years, and the blood of the women and children who were taken away was the sacrifice of this blood sacrifice.

After learning of the situation, the Sky Fox Clan immediately sent ten Dragon Transformation Realm masters and thirty Secret Realm masters in the door to the Red Blood Cave to kill this group of demons who were preparing to carry out a blood sacrifice to resurrect the Blood Demon Ancestor, stop this blood sacrifice with the blood of the living, and rescue the captive women and children.

The reason why he wanted to send ten masters of the Dragon Transformation Realm and thirty masters of the Secret Realm was because in addition to the five Demon Transformation Realm masters in the Yin Hades Temple in the Red Blood Cave, there were also nearly fifty or so Secret Realm masters.

Under the leadership of the ten dragon realm masters, he quietly entered the Red Blood Cave, and under the surprise attack, he successfully killed the fifty or so demons in the secret realm in the Red Blood Cave. However, when he was about to enter the blood refining pool in the cave and attack and kill the five demon aliens of the Dragon Transformation Realm, the situation changed abruptly.

It turned out that when the old lieutenant and his party were attacking and killing more than fifty demons in the secret realm in the Red Blood Cave, the five Demon Outer Daos of the Dragon Realm in the blood refining in the cave had already been shocked, and they deliberately did not stop it, and sacrificed a bloodthirsty array on the edge of the blood refining pool, waiting for the elder to break in, ready to wipe them out.

The old chief and his entourage, without knowing it, broke into the bloodthirsty array. Suddenly, the elder and his entourage only felt that their own essence and blood were being devoured by the great array, and before the time of tea, there were less than ten of the thirty inner disciples of the Heavenly Fox Clan in the secret realm, and the rest were devoured by the bloodthirsty array and died. And at this time, the ten masters of the Heavenly Fox Transformation Dragon Realm still did not break this bloodthirsty array, they knew that if they continued like this, they would have to suffer casualties, so the ten masters of the Dragon Transformation Realm who cultivated the highest made a decision immediately, and used the forbidden technique of the Heavenly Fox Clan, "Heavenly Fox Nine Changes", and forcibly cultivated to be promoted to the Yuqing Realm, and broke the law with force, which broke the bloodthirsty array.

However, this is the master of the Heavenly Fox Clan's Dragon Transformation Realm, because of the forbidden technique, after breaking the bloodthirsty array, in less than a few breaths, the cultivation instantly fell to the peak realm of the Qi Sea Realm.

When the five demonic demons of the Dragon Transformation Realm of the Yin Hades Temple saw that the great array had been broken, they immediately turned around and fled. And the nine dragon realm masters of the fox clan, that can be let go, under the encirclement, killed three people, and the other one escaped without knowing what escape secret technique he cast.

After the bloodthirsty array was broken, the old chief had already fallen into a coma, and the essence blood in his body was less than a layer. Xiu Wei also fell from the peak of the secret realm to the realm of the sea of qi. Since this time, no matter how hard he tried to practice, he never stopped, and the old chief gave up his identity as an inner disciple of the Tianhu Clan, left the cultivation place of the Tianhu Clan, and returned to Zhangjia Village. Twenty years later, when his father died, he took over the position of lieutenant governor from his father's generation and became the lieutenant governor of Zhangjia Village.

"According to this, this mysterious man in black is very likely to be the remnant of the Netherworld Temple that escaped back then!" Qu Fan took a sip of tea and said with a stern expression.

"Wouldn't those women and children who were taken away by the mysterious man in black be very dangerous!" Zhang Li continued.

The elder sighed a long sigh: "Yes, if the guess is correct, this mysterious man in black is that person as Little Brother Qu said, his purpose is self-evident, that is, the blood sacrifice to resurrect the Blood Demon Ancestor, as far as I know, this blood sacrifice to resurrect the Blood Demon Ancestor requires a large amount of blood of women and children." Therefore, if it is not stopped in time, countless women and children will die under this blood sacrifice. ”

"Then what should I do?" Zhang Li said anxiously.

"Elder Li, you can contact the upper echelons of the fox clan and inform them of what is happening here, I don't think they will pay attention to it. Qu Fan said, he thought to himself, after all, the elder had been an inner disciple with extraordinary qualifications within the fox clan before, and he should be able to contact the fox clan.

When Zhang Li heard this, he seemed to suddenly realize, and said, "That's right, the old chief!"

The old lieutenant shook his head and said gloomily: "More than seventy years have passed, time has passed, a generation of new people has replaced the old ones, who still remembers the inner disciples who have been abolished, and now I am afraid that even the big people of the fox clan's cultivation land can't enter!"

However, the old lieutenant suddenly changed his words and said: "However, Yang Bing, the county lord of Qingshui County, Tianliang County, is a close friend I made when I was young, I will repair a letter for you to bring to him, inform him of what happened here and my guesses, and then he will tell the county lord of Tianliang, after the lord of Tianliang County learns, he will definitely go to the place where the fox clan cultivates to report this matter to the high-level of the fox clan, after all, the blood sacrifice back then had a great impact, and I believe that many people in the fox clan will not forget it!"

There are thirteen counties under the jurisdiction of Tianliang County, namely Qingshui County, Weishui County, Laiyang County, Fengyang County, Zhilai County, Decheng County, Jianghui County, Minshan County, Qujiang County, Huifeng County, Tanggu County, Mengyue County, and Qiuping County. Compared with these thirteen counties, only Qingshui County is the most prosperous, and its area is also the most extensive, more than four to five times that of the other counties.

And Zhangjia Village, Hejia Village, Lujia Village, and Yuyao Village are just under the jurisdiction of Qingshui County.

In fact, the county lord Yang Bing is a friend of the elder when he was a disciple of the outer sect of the fox clan, the two are like-minded, obsessed with practice, and then gradually become close friends, and then the elder is promoted to the inner disciple, but his qualifications are not very outstanding, and he has never been promoted to the inner disciple of the fox clan. After practicing in the cultivation land of the fox clan for more than 30 years, he saw that there was no hope of becoming an inner disciple of the fox clan, so he asked to be the county lord of a county. At that time, the position of the county lord of Qingshui County, Tianliang County was vacant, and after the high-level discussion of the fox clan, it was agreed. Unexpectedly, this Yang Bing is quite talented in management, and in a few years, Qingshui County has been governed in an orderly manner, and Qingshui County has prospered rapidly, far exceeding the rest of the counties.

These old lieutenants have always kept in touch with Yang Bing, the county lord of Qingshui County, and if the elder lieutenant repairs a letter to inform him of all the things that happened here and speculations, it is impossible for him not to pay attention to them, and he will naturally report to his superiors.

"This is so good!" Zhang Li said immediately after hearing what the old man said. Then he hurriedly urged: "Old Chief, what are you waiting for, hurry up and give us a letter of repair, and I will go with Brother Qu to inform the county lord Yang Bing." ”

Lao Li said: "It's no longer in a hurry, it's more than ten days away from the county seat, and you and Little Brother Qu have been running for a day and a night to save the captive women and children, take a rest for the time being, and wait for me to repair a book tomorrow, and it's not too late for you to set off again." ”

When Zhang Li heard the elder say this, he really felt very tired, so he no longer insisted.

Qu Fan nodded, his eyes glanced at the courtyard, and he suddenly thought of something.
