Chen Ling, Luo Youran, and Ji Lingjie gathered at the foot of Leiwei Mountain.
As for Ye Hao, he has long been missing.
The first stop for the three of them was the undoubted place where the incident took place: Mingshan City.
Mingshan City was about the same size as Beixuan City. The one that was destroyed this time was the Wang family, the largest family in Mingshan City. The entire Wang family added up to six to seven hundred people, and they were all massacred overnight.
The strongest warrior in the Wang family is only a high-level Earth Dan.
With Netherworld's strength, it can be said that it would be effortless to kill the entire Mingshan City without any difficulty.
"Could it be a vendetta?"
On the way, Ji Lingjie frowned and said.
"Vendetta? It's unlikely." Chen Ling said with a hint of obvious impossibility on his face: "With Netherworld's strength, how could the Wang family of Mingshan City offend them."
"If it was just a vendetta, would the mountain master still ask us to investigate?" Luo Youran curled her lips and glanced at the two of them with disdain: "The evil cultivators' methods are cruel and unbelievable. Sometimes they often cause huge killings.
This is one of the reasons why people hate evil cultivators."
"This Netherworld may have some unknown purpose in massacring a family."
"Of course, it's also possible that the Wang family has some treasure that has been spotted by Netherworld."
Luo Youran guessed, with a calm expression, as if the terrifying Netherworld didn't make her pay too much attention.
Chen Ling and Ji Lingjie both looked thoughtful.
"It's better to go to Mingshan City and see it first before deciding." After a long time, Chen Ling said slowly.
"Humph, that guy Ye Hao, it's best to meet You Ming first." Luo Youran narrowed her beautiful eyes, and a sly cold light flashed across her eyes.
Encounter with Netherworld?
I'm afraid that even if Ye Hao did encounter him, he would at least be able to escape.
Chen Ling secretly guessed.
The three of them were extremely fast. They traveled at full speed from Leiwei Mountain to Mingshan City in less than a day.
As dusk approached, the three of them entered Mingshan City.
It seems that because of this terrible massacre, there is no one left in the city, and there is a desolate atmosphere. The occasional person walks, but they all move very fast.
The largest family was massacred overnight, and it was the work of evil cultivators. It is not surprising that it is so desolate.
The three of them followed the avenue directly to the outside of Wang's house.
The majestic manor looked majestic, but it seemed as if it was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds and was eerily silent.
A strong smell of blood came from the manor, which was pungent and nauseating. The smell seemed to be fermented and disgusting.
A cold look appeared on Luo Youran's flawless face, and her beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.
After scanning the surrounding area, it was deserted. Apparently not many people dared to hang out here.
"Go in."
Ji Lingjie said hello, and the three of them jumped up and landed in the Wang Manor.
The smell of blood suddenly increased, deeply stimulating the three people's sense of smell.
As soon as you see them, you can see corpses and mutilated limbs all over the place. Each one of them died in a miserable state, with their eyes wide open, and they died in a hideous and terrifying way without closing their eyes.
At a glance, the blood stains on the ground were solidified into purple-black and spread to the depths.
Even though his cultivation had reached such a level, Chen Ling saw this scene for the first time, and the shock deep in his heart was like an erupting volcano.
Too cruel.
Even Luo Youran's pretty face turned pale.
After a short silence, the three of them walked deeper into the room in silence.
Every step became extra heavy.
Hundreds of lives. Although the most valuable thing in this world is life, these people had no grievances or grudges against Netherworld. To be killed like this is really unconscionable.
"All the strength essence and blood essence in these people's bodies have been drained away." Walking deep into the manor, Luo Youran suddenly said slowly.
Hearing this, Chen Ling and Ji Lingjie were stunned for a moment, then quickly squatted down and carefully observed the corpses around them.
"The essence and blood were indeed taken away," Ji Lingjie said.
"The Earth Pill is gone too." Chen Ling found the body of an Earth Pill warrior, took a deep breath, and said with an ugly expression.
"Netherworld must have a purpose to drain away the essence of power and blood, and it's such a large amount for hundreds of people. I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter."
Luo Youran murmured quietly, her beautiful eyes were shining, as if she was deep in thought.
Chen Ling and Ji Lingjie searched the manor carefully, hoping to find some clues about the ghost.
"Miss Youran, Chen Ling, here."
Soon, Ji Lingjie's shout came from afar.
Chen Ling and Luo Youran quickly walked over.
Ji Lingjie glanced at the two of them, then pointed at the wall in front of him with a wry smile.
On the wall, there is a line of sharp handwriting that looks like a knife. If you glance at it, you can even feel a threatening edge coming towards your face.
"Zihua Mountains."
There are only four words on the wall.
But a name came to mind among the three of them: Ye Hao.
There is no doubt that it must be left by Ye Hao.
"This guy's speed is too fast." Chen Ling couldn't help but sigh.
"Humph, just pretending." Only Luo Youran was very dissatisfied, snorted, and turned around to leave.
"Miss Youran, where are you going?" Chen Ling shouted hurriedly.
"Zihua Mountains."
Chen Ling and Ji Lingjie looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and then quickly followed.
The three of them left Mingshan City quietly.
At night, you step into the Zihua Mountains like a ghost.
Entering the Zihua Mountains, Chen Ling felt an unspeakable nostalgia in his heart.
This is where his cultivation began.
Less than half a year later, he came back again.
Banshan Sect is located here.
If he hadn't been on a mission, he would still have wanted to go back and have a look. Although he had few friends in the Bishan Sect, Wu Long was one of them.
Wait until next time.
Sighing inwardly, Chen Ling gathered his thoughts and scanned the surroundings vigilantly while going deep into the Zihua Mountains.
"Chen Ling, do you think Ye Hao has found Netherworld?"
Ji Lingjie suddenly whispered.
"Found it?" Chen Ling was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "It shouldn't be so fast."
Although Ye Hao is strong, Netherworld is not a vegetarian. Can he find the opponent so easily?
"That's not certain." Ji Lingjie stared ahead and said calmly: "Since Ye Hao left the Zihua Mountains in Mingshan City, I'm afraid the traces of Netherworld are within the Zihua Mountains."
In this regard, Chen Ling nodded with deep sympathy.
"But, what are they doing in the Zihua Mountains? There seems to be nothing special in the Zihua Mountains." Chen Ling frowned and said in confusion.
Although he has not entered the deepest part of the Zihua Mountains, he still knows it quite well.
"Zihua Mountains..." Ji Lingjie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I really don't know much about this place."
The three of them continued to go deeper.
The whole night passed by in constant rush.
By the next day, the three of them had reached the deepest part of the Zihua Mountains.
Hua Hua Hua~~
The sound of running water suddenly attracted the attention of the three people.
Looking at each other, the three of them walked over quickly.
A large river dozens of feet wide rushed down, with waves rising one after another. Although it was not too big, it was quite impressive.
The most important thing is that at first glance, the color of this big river is blue.
