Chapter 108 The Devil in the Villa
Ten years ago, the Seventeen Taibao was not killed by his bloodline, nor was he killed by his enemies, but was eaten by someone.
This way of death is the most terrifying among all the ways of death.
Xu Yan, who learned about Wen Taibao's death, felt a chill in his vest. Fortunately, the dawn shone, dispelling his chill.
Is there a devil in the villa?
Turning around and walking into the room, Xu Yan tightened his eyebrows, his eyes appearing cautious and puzzled.
The little Taoist priest in Chengyun Temple rarely has such serious expressions. Once Xu Yan's serious expression appears on his face, it means that he is really in trouble, and it is extremely dangerous.
Wen Taibao said too little, but the words left behind were horrifying.
Wen Taibao, who was eaten by the devil, really encountered a powerful devil?
Xu Yan has seen many ghosts, and he has encountered evil ghosts many times, but things like devils are too illusory, especially the word devils, which may not necessarily refer specifically to those ghosts.
Terrifying monsters, or extremely evil people, can be called devils.
Xu Yan did not believe that at the head of the Ghost King Sect, a Taibao could easily be eaten by the devil. If this were true, there would be no news that the Seventeen Taibao, ten years ago, died of the devil's death ten years ago.
People eat, devil, fake news...
His slightly narrowed eyes indicate that Xu Yan's mind is fluctuating rapidly, and he is constantly calculating the information left by the ghost.
Eating people may not be eating meat, or absorbing something else. The devil may not be a ghost, or a very powerful warrior. Fake news can only be a cover-up that the highest level of the Ghost King Sect has the ability to release.
The cause of death of a Taibao was changed. Isn’t it just the only ones who have this ability, including the Da Taibao, the sect leader, or the four great guardians?
He took a deep breath and exhaled for a long time. The splendor in Xu Yan's eyes disappeared, replaced by the honest smile of the past.
The information left by Ghost Shadow is not difficult to distinguish, because Xu Yan grasped one point, that is, Ghost Shadow's identity during his lifetime.
The Seventeenth Taishang Insurance Ten Years ago!
If anyone who died at the head of the Ghost King Sect could kill Wen Taibao silently, there were only those powerful people from the Ghost King Sect who were arrogant. So in Xu Yan's opinion, the most likely person who ate Wen Taibao ten years ago was the sect leader, that is, Wen Taibao's adoptive father, Zhuo Tianying, because this villa is called the Ghost King Sect, and isn't the biggest devil in the Ghost King Sect the sect leader?
The Ghost King Sect’s sect leader eats people. This news is a bit shocking. Xu Yan doesn’t believe it because human flesh may not be as delicious as pork. If Zhuo Tianying has the quirk of eating people, who can’t eat it? He just eats his adopted son?
Xu Yan couldn't imagine how Zhuo Tianying ate Wen Taibao for a while. Without too many clues, he could only infer this.
"The foster father who cannibalizes people, the Ghost King Sect is really a quagmire..."
With helplessness in his whisper, Xu Yan discovered the crisis, but had no solution. Even if he showed his true five-line cultivation, he could not resist the Ghost King Sect leader who had long become a practitioner.
The gap between warriors and practitioners is like a chasm.
Since we are here, let's be at peace. At this time, Xu Yan could only comfort himself in this way. Soon, the maid who delivered the food knocked on the door with a big food box.
These days, Xu Yan would leave this maid who delivered the meal from time to time, and take advantage of the meal to inquire about the news about the Ghost King Sect. Today is no exception. Xu Yan left the maid who delivered the meal to have breakfast together.
After a few days of contact, Xu Yan learned that the maid's name was Qingyu, who was responsible for the kitchen to deliver food to Taibao's residences in various places. She was not the only one who delivered the food. Even if Xu Yan was left behind, she could finish her meal before leaving. The other Taibao would naturally have someone else to deliver it, which would not delay the Taibao's man's breakfast.
"Qingyu, what kind of person is the sect leader? Oh, even my adoptive father. You know that I have just arrived for a while and I am not very familiar with the adoptive father." Xu Yan ate breakfast excitedly and asked, "What kind of sect protector he likes? I'm lazy. Will it make him unhappy?"
Qingyu has also known that Yan Taibao is quite honest these days. No wonder she has never seen Taibao who can have breakfast with her servants.
"Qingyu is just a servant and is not qualified to meet the sect leader."
The woman ate breakfast in small mouthfuls and said, "I heard that the sect leader is extremely heroic and has reached the realm of a practitioner early on. In the eyes of us servants, the sect leader is a god among the gods. As for what kind of Taibao the sect leader likes, I think he should like honest and steady, and can practice martial arts diligently. If I have children, I will definitely not like those too smart."
After spending a few days together, Qingyu was no longer as reserved as the first day. After saying that, she smiled. Although she looked ordinary, she looked a little bit like a little jassic.
"How smart is so good. If I were me, I would definitely like the smartest one." Xu Yan said with a giggle: "Who makes me stupid?"
"Yan Taibao is not stupid!" Qingyu hurriedly retorted: "You can eat with us servants at the same table. Yan Taibao has no airs as Taibao. In Qingyu's eyes, Yan Taibao is the most upright and steady one. Unlike the eighteen Taibao, who likes to fight with people all day long. I heard that he has defeated the Ninth Taibao and is preparing to challenge the Eighth Taibao."
"Yang Yi has defeated so many brothers!"
Xu Yan seemed shocked, blinked and said, "Fortunately, I didn't fight with him last time, otherwise I would have to lose too. Lose to my younger brother. How shameless is to be my older brother."
Xu Yan's words made Qingyu giggle. After breakfast, the woman left the yard with a food box. When she left, she smiled sweetly at Xu Yan, as if she liked this honest Seventeenth Grandmaster.
Every time Qingyu leaves, Xu Yan will stand at the window and wave his hands, then stare at the big locust tree in the yard in a daze. From a distance, it looks like a dumb goose. I don’t know whether it is looking at someone’s back and savoring the deliciousness of breakfast.
If someone follows Xu Yan's gaze to the end, he will find that what he is staring at is a low-hanging leaf, and the leaf was slightly turned up due to the passing of the green rain. It has not stopped for a long time, and even without the wind, it will tremble slightly.
"There are many ghosts in the right and wrong place..."
The young man standing in front of the window in a daze whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "One ghost is not enough, you have to have two ghosts. Why does Zhuo Tianying like me, not Yang Yi? What exactly is he going to do? Do you want to eat me too?"
A ferocious cold light flashed through Xu Yan's dull eyes.
Pushing the door and out of the house, Xu Yan moved a chair to the shade of the tree, holding a secret book to enjoy the coolness under the tree, and watching it with relish, but his eyes did not stop on the books, but passed over the books and stared at a leaf above his head.
The ordinary scenery is nothing special in the eyes of others. The trees are full of green leaves and they all grow almost the same, but another scene appears in Xu Yan's left eye.
On the leaf he was staring at, a dim gray gas kept surging.
The locust tree gathers in shade. The place where the big locust tree has the heaviest yin energy is not the trunk that traps Wen Taibao's ghost, but the leaf above Xu Yan's head, which is also this leaf. Whenever the maid Qingyu passes by, it will turn slightly, and it will continue for a long time!
