Chapter 30 The Secret of Black Ghost Village
"Look, the mastermind behind this has already come out, it's your nephew. You can just go and admit your mistake!" Fang Ding was much smarter this time, he sent the message telepathically.
The elementalist on the other side frowned. He still couldn't believe that his nephew could do such a thing.
When he brought his nephew over, Yuanbao had just lost his parents and had been grieving in his room for three whole months.
Later, Yuanbao became known for his kindness, and some disciples of the Spirit Weapon Hall also liked him very much.
How could a nephew like that secretly do such a thing?
Could it be that the disciple did something in private?
However, Yuan Shuo is quite talented, and he was even thinking of taking him as his apprentice. There was no need to kill someone over some minor conflict.
If Lan Yue hadn't brought it up, he probably would never have been able to solve this mystery.
"Let's hear what she has to say first," Yuan Su said helplessly, transmitting her thoughts.
…
[Lan Yue: Yuanbao, originally named Gangdan, is from Heigui Village, Anliu County, Feng Kingdom, in the Southern Region...]
Black Ghost Village, what kind of name is that? How can there be a village with that name? It sounds eerie.
Above the Hall of Four Arts, the head of the Hall of Spiritual Artifacts was somewhat bewildered. The place he had gone to was indeed called Anliu County, but the village was Taoluo Village! Why was the information displayed by the magical artifact different?
[Lan Yue: This is hilarious! This tiny village has so many tricks up its sleeve. It's supposed to be the infamous Black Ghost Village, but it always deceives outsiders by telling them that their village is Peach Blossom Village.]
What secrets does this village hold? Holy crap, there's actually a black guy in this village!
For so many years, this village has been luring people here, hoping to feed this black man with the blood and flesh of outsiders! It's absolutely chilling; I wonder how many people have been murdered here.
above.
Fang Ding secretly nudged Yuan Su and transmitted his voice, "I remember you said back then that your nephew was stranded in Taoluo Village. Why didn't you encounter that black ghost and take the opportunity to wipe it out?"
If this kind of monster, which eats human flesh and even controls the entire village, continues to develop like this, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Any cultivator who encounters such a ghostly creature must not let it go.
Element hesitated for a long time, unable to utter a single word, because he suddenly had a bad feeling.
The feeling was so intense that it almost overwhelmed him.
When he went to that village, he didn't sense any ghostly aura at all!
If he really encountered such a ghost, how could he possibly allow it to keep eating human flesh and blood to increase its strength?
"If such ghosts are still in Black Ghost Village, then I will deal with them immediately." Guangji said coldly, carrying his jade-colored longsword.
Feng Kingdom is considered a vassal state of their Southern Spirit Sect, so they have an obligation to help this country when it is in trouble.
For so many years, Guangji has either been in seclusion or on his way to slay demons and monsters; it has become a habit for him.
The only exception was when he met his disciple Lan Yue outside the sect. At that moment, he suddenly felt that this was the disciple he was destined to be.
So, while he was still doing his mission, he simply grabbed his apprentice.
"Ninth Junior Brother, don't rush. Wait a minute. What if there are other clues? Instead of wasting your time and energy investigating over there, why not just take what's readily available?"
Yun Chong wasn't in a hurry. It wasn't that he didn't care about ordinary people, but he felt that since Lan Yue had already noticed, she would definitely dig deeper and uncover more clues.
Guangji paused for a moment, then sat back down.
"That's more like it. Ninth Junior Brother, you've worked so hard for so many years, you should enjoy the feeling of being carried by your disciple." The Sixth Elder chimed in from the side.
"Take them with you?" Guangji wasn't quite sure what this term meant, but he felt that his senior brothers seemed to have all changed in a short period of time.
"It's to give you a lot of help!" In the end, it was the Second Elder who explained to Guangji.
"You all know that this was said by my apprentice?" Guangji belatedly realized.
The elders all nodded in agreement; they had learned more than just this one new word!
[Lan Yue: It's outrageous! The sister of the Spirit Weapon Hall Master was tricked like this. She was seriously injured by the enemy and wanted to find a place to recuperate, so she ended up staying in Black Ghost Village without really knowing what was going on.]
The black devil in the shadows had always coveted her flesh and blood, and was just waiting! Sure enough, they soon found their opportunity, because the sect leader's sister was already pregnant, and coincidentally, the child was born at this time.
She was severely injured and had to supply spiritual energy to the child, so her body quickly deteriorated and her cultivation level dropped significantly.
While the sect leader's sister was unconscious, the villagers tied her up and handed her over to the ghost.
[Yin Xue: Those people are absolutely despicable. How could they do such a thing?]
[Lan Yue: Sigh, who would have thought that this ghost wasn't actually born naturally, but rather fed by these people? It's all to extract power from ghosts, making it easier for them to plunder and kill. It just goes to show how insatiable people are!]
[Yin Xue: Humans are really complicated! It's different for us in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series; we don't need to think about anything too much!]
…
Above the Hall of Four Arts, Yuan Su's eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on his forehead.
At this moment, his beliefs of many years were about to collapse, and he was teetering on the brink of collapse.
"Impossible, impossible! My nephew clearly said that his mother died peacefully in her sleep, and her only regret was that she couldn't see me!"
"Hey, don't be too sad. Maybe Yuanbao was also deceived by those villagers? If those people are still around, you can avenge Fairy Yuanxia yourself."
Fang Ding, standing to the side, sighed deeply. He dared not argue with the guy opposite him anymore, for fear of accidentally making the head of the Spirit Weapon Hall faint or developing some kind of inner demon.
In that case, he would be guilty.
Back then, when Fairy Yuanxia was brought into the sect by the Hall Master of the Spirit Weapon Hall, she was such a lively and lovely girl. I never expected that she would end up like this.
They're all those despicable people from Black Ghost Village. No wonder it's called Black Ghost Village; their hearts must have been eaten by ghosts to do such things!
"Calm down." Yun Chong also noticed the situation on Yuan Su's side. Seeing that the other party's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry blood, he directly took out a Qingling jade pendant engraved with an array and placed it in Yuan Su's hand.
However, what use are any more Qingling Jade Pendants? The Hall Master of the Spirit Artifact Hall can no longer sense the outside world. His mind is filled only with that voice, which is now the only obsession he can hold on to.
…
[Lan Yue: Sigh, even under these circumstances, Fairy Yuan Xia instinctively protects the child.]
She shielded the child with all the remaining magical artifacts, but was herself devoured by the demon, leaving not even a trace of flesh or blood behind.
…
"Pfft!" The head of the Spirit Weapon Hall suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and he almost went mad.
It was only through the combined efforts of the other elders that the situation was brought under control in time.
"I'm going to kill them! I'll tear them to pieces!" roared the leader of the Spirit Weapon Hall. Beside him, a glowing array encompassed everyone within it.
The array lit up here, naturally the array plate that Yun Chong threw out. While stabilizing Elder Yuan, he also silenced all sounds to prevent Lan Yue below from noticing anything.
"Elder Yuan, this matter is not over yet. Don't you want to know what happened to your nephew afterward?" Yun Chong's voice was calm and firm, like a bell suddenly ringing in the morning mist, which gradually brought the Spirit Weapon Hall Master across from him back to his senses.
"My nephew, yes, my nephew is still here!" At this moment, the head of the Spirit Weapon Hall cried blood. He took two steps forward and knelt directly in front of his spirit weapon.
"If Yuanbao has truly done something unforgivable, I beg the sect leader to spare him. I am willing to accept the punishment in his place, or I will take my nephew away from the Southern Spirit Sect and head to the Southern Region battlefield!"
The cultivation world has four major regions, each with its own battlefield. These battlefields are against the established demonic realms and the demonic creatures that emerge from the Demon Abyss Rift.
In the entire cultivation world, the most dangerous place is naturally the Four Domains Battlefield. The fact that the Master of the Spiritual Energy Hall made this choice shows that he has made up his mind.
In the end, Yuan Su chose to protect his nephew, but Fang Ding, the elder of the Pill Pavilion on the other side, did not say much about it.
He would have definitely retorted before, but now that he has suddenly received news from Yuan Xia, he is also very sad.
This ingot is Yuan Xia's last bloodline. Even he wanted to protect it, let alone his uncle, Yuan Su.
