"Ahem, damn it! If I find out who did it, I will skin him alive!"
The charming woman was in a state of embarrassment, but her eyes revealed a bit of malice and resentment.
You must know that blood flowers are not so easy to raise.
This time it also took an entire city's lives to catalyze its fruit.
Originally, she could achieve her wish after the owner got the thing.
Unexpectedly, it was burned!
The man in red still maintained his posture, but he firmly held a shuttle-shaped seed with two tapered ends in his hand.
Bright red blood snaked down from the palm of his hand drop by drop.
But he didn't care at all, his eyes were fixed firmly on the seeds, his expression was inexplicably gentle.
The two of them rushed out of the fire at several speeds.
The woman curled her lips and then acted coquettishly towards the man.
"Master, please go back first. I still want to find the person who ruined my good deeds! If I don't say this, I will choke to death."
The man didn't even look at her and walked away.
The remaining charming woman looked jealous.
"I really don't know who else is there besides that person in your heart!"
But she is different from that idiot Sheng Wuyou.
She has been with her master for ten years, and she has long understood that they are just the shadows that the master uses to find that person.
Since it is a shadow, there should be no unnecessary distractions.
What's more, she still has her own things to complete.
The charming woman curled her lips and looked at the fire with a sneer.
"I want to see who dares to miss my good thing!"
The raging fire almost burned down the entire Shengjia City.
As she had expected, some lucky people who were not eaten by the ghost vines also took the opportunity to escape after the fire broke out.
The fire seemed to have destroyed many things, but it was an indelible shadow that was engraved on the hearts of those who had experienced the incident.
From that day on, they lost their loved ones, their home, and their hope of living.
But people who have experienced despair, without exception, choose to live on.
It's just that some of them chose to fall, and some made the same choice as the grocery store owner and his daughter.
They wander around all their lives, just to find the ghost vine that brings disaster.
Gradually, they spontaneously became a small force.
No one thought that twenty years later, this small force that had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain would become one of the most famous big forces on this continent.
Now, after Lin Mengya brought back the news that the ghost vine was burned, Long Tianyu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course it would be good if that thing could be removed. But he was worried that those who cultivated ghost vines actually had other purposes.
Immediately, he sent people to explore the situation around Shengjia City.
Unexpectedly, after the first night, two people mysteriously lost contact.
After the fire was completely extinguished, their people found two charred corpses in the southwest corner of the city gate.
If two weapons unique to Long Tianyu's men were not found next to their bodies, no one would be able to identify them.
In this regard, Long Tianyu had to be more cautious.
He knew very well that the people under him would never act without authorization unless there were special circumstances.
What's more, the two of them died together.
If they really encounter a difficult enemy, if they can't resist it, they will choose a one-for-one strategy and let the other person escape back to report the news.
Unless the enemy they encounter is very powerful.
It's so powerful that even if the two of them put their lives together, they can't escape.
But is there really such a master in Shengjia City?
Long Tianyu was skeptical about this.
This time, he insisted on going to the city with Lin Mengya to investigate the situation and find out what was going on.
Among the ruins burned by the fire, a line of black char almost stretched across the entire Shengjia City.
That's what the ghost vine looks like after it's completely burned.
Even so, it's still amazing enough.
"What did such thick vines grow on?"
Li Ao sighed.
On the other hand, Qinghu, who was never leaving Lin Mengya, glanced at him and spoke leisurely.
"eat human."
Li Ao was stunned for a moment, and then his expression darkened.
This time, in addition to himself, he also brought a dozen people from aristocratic families who were friendly with the Li family.
They all escaped disaster because they did not attend the Sheng family's wedding.
When Li Ao personally went to lobby them, these people thought he was hysterical.
But when they saw that he was serious about his attitude and the Li family's good reputation, they still sent someone over with suspicion.
Now, seeing Shengjia City turned into an empty city, several people could not help but feel scared secretly.
The Sheng family is still like this, if they
After secretly exchanging a few glances, the group of people made up their minds to report the truth to their respective heads of family when they returned.
It is better to prevent it as early as possible.
Following the vines, they arrived at Sheng Mansion.
The glory of the past has faded away, leaving nothing but a dilapidated mansion.
The vines extended out from here, almost blocking the entire door.
After Lin Mengya determined that the ghost vines at the gate had lost their activity, her people also began to clean them up.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw withered vines all over the ground.
The large rose-like flowers have withered and turned yellow, as if they will turn into powder in the next moment.
Facing such a scene, she couldn't help but feel her heart sink.
It seems that although the main vine was ignited, it was not completely burned.
"Everyone, be careful, this ghost vine may still be alive!"
Following her warning, everyone could not help but tighten their hearts.
Even the timid ones have already given up.
Who knows if this thing will suddenly appear and bite them?
In the end, apart from Long Tianyu, Qinghu and their guards, the only ones following her deep into the Sheng family were Li Ao and three young men.
These three people were bold and careful, and their curiosity outweighed their fear.
What's more, they saw that Lin Mengya was not afraid of any woman, and her pride was causing trouble and she was unwilling to fall behind others.
Along the way, they found the area around the underground secret room of the Sheng family.
Lin Mengya looked at the ground carefully and after confirming that the main vine grew from here, she started digging along the main vine.
Suddenly, a very faint sound of footsteps startled her.
Her eyes were cold and she stared warily in the direction of the source of the sound.
"Who's there? Come out!"
Except for the two masters Long Tianyu and Qinghu, no one heard the sound.
Just when he thought she was overly sensitive, he saw a slender figure walking in from the other end of the yard.
"Don't, don't kill me!"
The thin and soft voice, coupled with a pitiful and frail appearance, aroused the protective desire of some men present as soon as it appeared.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes, but did not put away her vigilance.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The girl in front of her suddenly shed tears and explained with sobs, "This slave is Qingping, the slave of the Sheng family. She escaped death because she made a mistake before and was locked up in the backyard."
She raised her head and looked at them with fear on her face.
"Young masters, I don't know if I can sue my slaves. What's going on? Where are my master and my wife?"
Upon hearing that it was a domestic slave of the Sheng family, the three young men relaxed first.
In a family like theirs, domestic slaves are the lowest level of existence.
Now that the Sheng family is gone, the slaves are the most helpless.
At that moment, I felt a bit of pity for the weak.
"It's nothing, it's your parents' fault. It’s not safe yet, girl, it’s better to leave the city quickly.”
When the woman heard this, she looked shocked.
Immediately, tears streamed down his face and he cried miserably.
"What should we do? This slave was sold to the Sheng family since she was a child. She knows nothing but serving people. Now that the master and his wife are gone, I might as well die!"
As she said that, she was about to hit the wall.
The three young men had never seen this battle, so they immediately stopped the man and tried to persuade him.
The girl was coaxed by their words, and she became quiet for a while.
But Lin Mengya and the other three people beside them didn't say a word.
The girl seemed to be afraid of them, and quietly hid behind the three of them.
Lin Mengya always felt that this domestic slave was a bit strange, but she didn't think much about it.
After all, the Sheng family is so big, it's not surprising that there are one or two survivors.
Soon, the person responsible for digging the main vine dug into the secret room.
After removing the rocks, they discovered Elder Sheng who had completely grown up with the ghost vine.
At this time, he can no longer be called a human being.
"Ah! How terrible!"
Qingping screamed and fell softly into the arms of one of the men.
The other party was a little at a loss and couldn't throw him directly to the ground, so he could only hold him in his arms.
Lin Mengya glanced over there, and then shifted her gaze to Elder Sheng's body.
"Hopeless."
Li Ao investigated and shook his head at her.
Elder Sheng's eyes have sprouted vines, and now he is like a part of the ghost vine's rhizome.
"He brought it upon himself and cannot blame anyone else."
Lin Mengya was evaluating the facts objectively, but she didn't expect Qingping, who had just woken up beside her, to suddenly cry and throw herself in front of Lin Mengya.
"Please, girl, please save my master!"
Lin Mengya stepped back and stepped away, frowning slightly.
"I can't save him, not to mention that he and the ghost vine have grown together, and there is no way he can be saved."
But Qingping said with tears, "The girl must have a way! Besides, isn't the girl here just to save people? Now that she sees my master suffering, how can the girl not save him?"
This is a bit unreasonable.
Lin Mengya calmed down and explained to the other party, "It's not that I don't save her, but that I really can't save her."
"If the girl doesn't save people, what else will she do?"
Qingping asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Is it possible that the girl is here just like the others, for the treasure of our Sheng family?"
As soon as these words were said, the expressions of the three people could not help but change slightly.
