A panicked voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the confrontation between Su Anran and Chong Xingzi.
The two of them turned their heads to look, and saw the merchant manager from the Qiyuan family.
"What happened?" Chong Xingzi asked.
"Yun Ming... Taoist Yun Ming..." The look of panic on the steward's face was obvious.
"What's wrong with my disciple?" Chong Xingzi looked anxious and came to the steward in a flash, "Say quickly!"
Su Anran and others did not move, but there was no look of gloating on their faces. Instead, Su Anran's face showed a bit of solemnity.
He was the one who rescued Taoist Yunming. Qingyu also checked his injuries and confirmed that his injuries were indeed very serious and had damaged his foundation. His future achievements would inevitably be compromised. However, after her treatment, he was actually dead.
No worries, they should wake up in no more than five days at most. Therefore, Su Anran and others did not bother to pay attention to each other these days, but left it to Nan Fengqing and the business manager of the Qiyuan family to take care of them.
Of course, another reason is to avoid some "unnecessary" troubles.
For example, he was slandered and murdered by Taoist Yunming.
Seeing the eager look on the steward's face, Su Anran had a vague feeling in her heart.
Because logically speaking, Yun Ming should have woken up yesterday or today. In terms of time, he can meet Chong Xingzi with a clear consciousness. This is what Su Anran had previously mocked that the other party had seen Taoist Yun Ming for the last time.
reason.
"Taoist Yunming, he...he killed Master Nan Fengqing!" The steward took a deep breath, calmed down the panic in his heart, and then shouted directly.
"What?"
"How can this be!"
The voices of Su Anran and Chong Xingzi sounded at the same time.
At this moment, even Su Anran couldn't sit still. He hurriedly came to the steward and said, "How could he kill Nan Fengqing?"
"Not long after Immortal Chongxingzi left Taoist Yunming's room, Taoist Yunming woke up. The two maids I arranged to take care of Taoist Yunming were about to go out to report the news. As a result, they met Mr. Nan Fengqing when they went out, but the room was empty.
A scream and exclamation from inside shocked them, so Mr. Nan Fengqing hurriedly pushed the door open and saw that a maid I arranged had been killed by Taoist Yunming. Mr. Nan Fengqing was also killed before and after he came up.
Taoist Yunming injured..."
"Then you said Nan Fengqing is dead?" Chong Xingzi said.
"My maid said it!" the steward said hurriedly, "she saw Taoist Yunming's palm pass through Master Nan Fengqing's chest and abdomen..."
"Impossible!" Chong Xingzi exclaimed, "My disciple is not good at martial arts, and the Nanfeng family used martial arts to enter Taoism. How could he be..."
At this point, Chong Xingzi suddenly couldn't speak anymore.
Su Anran also realized the problem.
The next moment, Chong Xingzi immediately rushed towards Taoist Yunming's small courtyard.
"Little butcher, go back to find Qingyu, follow me in Baiye." Su Anran shouted, and then hurriedly chased after him.
Song Baiye immediately set off to follow.
Although the little butcher looked a little helpless, she could tell the difference between good and bad, so she could only turn around and run back to Qingyu's bedroom.
Su Anran's sword flashed, and he took Song Baiye away quickly. In an instant, he passed by Chong Xingzi and arrived at Taoist Yunming's residence first.
At this time, Taoist Yunming's courtyard door had been broken down.
Half of it was hung on the wall, and the other half fell to the ground. A disemboweled corpse was lying on the door panel. The blood not only dyed the door panel red, but even the surrounding ground began to be dyed red.
Obviously, this unlucky man was dead before breaking the door panel.
The strong smell of blood permeated the courtyard.
Because of Taoist Yunming's special status, the steward of the Qiyuan family did not dare to neglect him. Even though he knew that there were several land gods in the house, he still arranged more than thirty guards to protect Taoist Yunming.
There are eight well-behaved and smart maids to take care of you.
But I never thought that the arrangement of this steward would now become a talisman for these people.
Dozens of corpses were scattered in the courtyard.
These corpses died in miserable conditions.
Some were dismembered, some were dismembered, and some were disemboweled.
The entire front yard is like a picture of hell.
Further forward is the front hall.
There are several corpses lying here, but not all of them are guards. There are also maids among them. And judging from their posture, they should be trying to escape from here, but they are caught up by Taoist Yunming. As a result, these people have their backs to Yunming.
The guards and maids of the Ming Dao people will naturally not end up much better.
"Alas." Su Anran sighed lightly.
Even if he didn't want to admit that answer in his heart, he had to admit it at this moment.
A cold breath came from Su Anran's back.
Chong Xingzi had also rushed over at this time.
There was a look of disbelief on his face, and he murmured: "This... this..."
"It should be what you think." Su Anran said in a deep voice. At this time, it was no longer the time to compete with Chong Xingzi. He still knew the priorities clearly. "Your frost aura is very special.
Let’s freeze all these corpses first, and then wait for the steward to come and count them.”
Chong Xingzi also knew that the situation was critical and nodded.
Then he pinched the seal with both hands, and a yellow talisman flew out from his hands.
These yellow talismans stood in the air, only stayed for a moment, and then flew out one after another.
Each yellow talisman flew to a corpse, and then the yellow talisman immediately melted into the bodies of these corpses. The next second, these corpses began to emit a lot of cold air, and all of these corpses were destroyed in the blink of an eye.
They are all covered by a layer of solid ice, as if they were stored in an ice coffin.
Su Anran turned around to face Song Baiye and said, "You stay outside and you can't let anyone in or let anyone out."
Looking at Su Anran's serious face, Song Baiye nodded, and then quickly ran to stand outside the courtyard gate.
At this time, Chong Xingzi had already arrived in the front hall. He looked at the corpses in the front hall, then waved his hand and played a few more yellow talismans, freezing all the corpses into solid ice again.
"Twenty-two." Chong Xingzi said in a deep voice.
Su Anran understood what he meant, but he shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be that many."
The opposite star does not understand why.
But he was not angry, but looked at Su Anran with confusion.
"I once saw a murder case in Fanchen. The murderer set a house on fire and all seven members of the family were killed. However, after inspection, it was found that these bodies had signs of being dismembered. It was just because of the fire that they were burned.
Therefore, it is impossible to verify whether these bodies were dismembered before death or after death."
Chong Xingzi looked startled, then suddenly turned back and stared at the mess in the front hall and front yard.
He suddenly understood what Su Anran meant.
If it's just killing people, why do they do things like dismemberment, dismemberment, etc.?
This is completely illogical.
But if there are other reasons hidden here, then it all makes perfect sense.
Dismemberment, dismemberment, and even disembowelment were all done to cover up the reason why there were so few corpses here.
So one can naturally imagine where these disappeared corpses went.
"It's been a little while, I'm afraid those disappeared corpses are no longer here." Chong Xingzi said in a deep voice.
"Let's check this place first." Su Anran said, "Bai Ye will stay behind, and as long as those guys haven't left, they won't be able to get out again... After checking here, we will expand the search for the entire station.
If someone leaves, we can only expand the scope and search the whole city directly."
"Not enough manpower." Chong Xingzi sighed.
Su Anran glanced at Song Baiye, and then said: "We can solve it, you can just help from the side... The main reason is to prevent the infection from spreading further."
Chong Xingzi nodded and said nothing more.
He is not someone who cannot tell right from wrong.
It was one thing for him to suspect that Su Anran deliberately refused to rescue the disciple when he was attacked. But now that the disciple was infected and became a parasite, the top priority was to deal with this huge hazard first - anyone infected by the parasite would
They can no longer be regarded as human beings. They died the moment they were infected. Therefore, no matter how much Chong Xingzi liked his disciple, he could never keep him.
certainly.
There must still be some resentment towards Su Anran.
Just as he could not eliminate his doubts about Su Anran, he naturally believed that if Su Anran had rescued him earlier, his disciples would definitely not be infected and would definitely be able to escape this disaster.
But no matter how resentful he was, he could still clearly distinguish the priorities at this time.
The two of them moved forward again.
After passing through the central hall, we came to the backyard, and then explored the side rooms on both sides, the main room and the wing room.
There are corpses in all these places.
But the corpses all seemed to have been dismembered and scattered everywhere, looking extremely bloody.
After going around in a circle, Su Anran and others also saw Nan Fengqing's body.
He was only disemboweled and his heart was missing, but he was not dismembered and his body could be considered relatively complete.
Just seeing how she was acting with him and others a few days ago, and then died in front of her in the blink of an eye, Su Anran still felt uncomfortable: "The other party understood quite well, knowing that Nan Fengqing couldn't be taken away, so he didn't
It didn't infect him, but left the body behind."
"Forty-one." Chong Xingzi sighed, and then said.
"The steward arranged about thirty-two guards, and eight maids. If you include Nan Fengqing, there are indeed forty-one." Su Anran sneered, and then spoke slowly, "But the other party's brains
Apparently it didn't work very well, so a maid ran away to report the news, and as a result, forty-one corpses were left here."
Chong Xingzi said nothing.
Because among these corpses, there are no corpses of his disciples.
The two of them searched around again, and after seeing that no one was hiding here, they left the courtyard.
But when Su Anran turned around and left the courtyard, she borrowed the power of the phantom demon to directly burst out several huge sword energy with extremely terrifying aura, and then bombarded it directly towards the courtyard, giving the courtyard a neat blow.
Sarah washes the floor.
Almost instantly, huge clouds of sand and dust spread out.
Song Baiye opened his mouth and blew.
The wind howled.
After all the smoke dissipated, there was no courtyard left on the ground. Apart from a huge pit, there was nothing left on the ground.
And Su Anran didn't find any pits or dirt roads here.
"The other party didn't have time to dig a tunnel, so he should have left from the main entrance." Su Anran said casually, "Bai Ye, you go and guard here and don't allow anyone to leave this station, otherwise you can kill the other party directly."
Song Baiye nodded, then turned and left.
He knew what Su Anran meant, because Su Anran had already transmitted his spiritual consciousness to him - Song Baiye was not a serious person. If he didn't make the order clear and clear, this guy would probably go wrong by then. But.
Because there were outsiders present at this time, Su Anran couldn't explain clearly, so he had to give an explanation on the surface, and then use his spiritual consciousness to transmit the order to Song Baiye secretly.
"Let's go, let's go find the steward." Su Anran turned around and said to Chong Xingzi.
Chong Xingzi stared blankly at the pit in front of him, and was a little stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Su Anran shouted twice more that he came back to his senses: "Ah? Oh, oh, ask the manager... yes
, we should go find the steward."
Su Anran looked at Chong Xingzi with some suspicion: "You are not infected, are you?"
"How is that possible?" Chong Xingzi's face turned red, "You are doubting me, are you?"
"Everyone here is worthy of suspicion." Su Anran shook his head, "We don't even know which parasite your disciple was infected by... The parasite that attacked your disciple was a first-generation parasite.
Parasite, logically speaking, your disciple should be a second-generation parasite, but if the second-generation parasite is infected again, the third-generation parasite will have no wisdom at all."
"Judging from the infection method, your disciple should be a second-generation parasite. After all, the infection method of the second-generation parasite is forced infection. But in this case, the problem is that it is difficult for those third-generation infected organisms without intelligence to hide.
Here, because they only have one biological instinct left... In other words, unless someone else takes over, these third-generation parasites will definitely be exposed."
"You mean..." Chong Xingzi frowned, "This courtyard... no, Yunzhou City has actually been infiltrated?"
"It's possible." Su Anran nodded, "But I have another possibility here."
"What's the possibility?" Chong Xingzi asked.
"A possibility that I really don't want to face." Su Anran exhaled, "For example... over the long years, the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider, or those first-generation parasites, have evolved and acquired other
Special abilities we don’t know about.”
"If that's the case, why wasn't it shown before?"
"There are two possibilities." Su Anran said, "One is that it has been revealed before, but you just didn't notice it. The other possibility is that the ability acquired after evolution was not stable before, so there was no
Performance, but as our Taiyi Sect joined this battle, it put greater pressure on the Soul-Splitting Mountain Spider and these parasites, causing them to have to speed up their evolution, and now... they have finally succeeded in evolving."
Chong Xingzi was stunned.
Su Anran exhaled a heavy breath and said in a low tone: "Hundreds of years have passed, as long as the Soul-Splitting Demon Mountain Spider has infected a few talented geniuses, and given them enough time to develop, the changes they will bring will definitely not be enough."
It will be lower than our human race... Maybe we are no longer fighting a vicious beast with only instincts like the Soul-Splitting Mountain Spider, but are fighting a brand new intelligent race."
"This..." Chong Xingzi was still in disbelief, "Isn't this impossible?"
"Nothing is impossible." Su Anran sighed, "The ferocious beasts suppressed their instincts and evolved into demon beasts. The demon beasts imitated humans and mastered the ability to transform, so the demon clan was born... Even our human race,
In order not to die like this, don't you also master the method of seizing the body and becoming a ghost?... All the changes and evolution in the world are not static, they are just the influence of external factors."
