Chapter 109: Terror

The light of dawn cut through the darkness, and the sky was slightly bright.

Lin Mu came to a secluded corner, and his figure disappeared behind a big tree.

The city was full of smoke.

In a gorgeous and noble courtyard.

"Investigate, go and investigate immediately." Guan Ping looked at a group of junior brothers behind him and said angrily.

Overnight, eighteen people disappeared from the Yuling Sect for no reason.

Even though Guan Ping is now a true disciple of the Spiritual Silence Period, if this news is passed back to the sect, he can't afford to be blamed by the elders and the headmaster.

Immediately, more than a dozen people went out of the door and went around the city to investigate.

These eighteen people disappeared for no reason, without a sound.

Many people have made bad guesses in their hearts, but because the whereabouts of these eighteen people have not been found, no one can be sure whether these people are dead or alive.

A layer of shadow has been densely covered in the hearts of the disciples of the Yuling Sect, and everyone is uneasy.

Only the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Period went out to check for a day and found nothing.

No one knows where the missing disciples have gone. If they were killed, there must be a body, but more than a dozen foundation-building disciples have not even found their bodies.

Weird!

In the city full of smoke, who has such strong strength?

Could it be the work of the two immortal cultivation families?

But after Guan Ping visited the two immortal cultivation families, the news he got was a bit creepy.

Because the people of these two families did not go out today.

The disappearance of the disciples of the Yuling Sect naturally had nothing to do with them.

Who was it?

This fear from the unknown made the disciples of the Yuling Sect feel uneasy.

Night fell again.

This night, the disciples of the Yuling Sect restrained themselves a lot, and many people did not go out. In the eyes of many disciples of the Yuling Sect, compared with these treasures in the mortal world, their lives are more important. Many people stayed indoors and waited quietly for the development of the situation. I hope this is just an accident and they can continue to do evil in the future.

But there are also many people who are bold and reckless, and continue to go out and commit crimes regardless of the dissuasion of their friends.

These people have been practicing in the sect for a long time. Once they enter the world, they are intoxicated by the lights and wine. The attraction of beautiful women makes them irresistible.

The figures of these people quickly disappeared in the night and ran to the attics of the women one by one.

At the same time, more than a dozen foundation-building disciples also followed them out, trying to find out some clues.

Guan Ping and his two spiritual silence disciples did not meditate, but sat in the room quietly, waiting for news. Now there are three spiritual silence disciples in Yanman City, which is the largest number among all cities.

Tianxiao Realm is too big. Forty spiritual silence disciples went out to search separately, and eight people came from Gu Tang Kingdom at once.

But everyone did not have much hope in their hearts.

Lin Mu's figure appeared a few months ago. After so much time, I am afraid he has already fled to other places.

Guan Ping did not care much about finding Lin Mu. For him, cultivation is the most important thing. If possible, he would rather just brush it off. What happened to others had nothing to do with him. Even if the grandson of the headmaster died, it would not have any impact on him. Although he had to come to investigate under the order of the headmaster, as long as he could form the golden elixir, why should he look at the face of the headmaster Ren Liang?

But now that eighteen people suddenly disappeared, he felt a little uncomfortable. If the headmaster blamed him for this and deducted the elixir from him, wouldn't he be wronged for no reason?

He naturally didn't want to do that.

That night, he was waiting, waiting for his junior brother in the foundation-building stage to bring back news.

At dawn, more than a dozen disciples in the foundation-building stage returned one after another.

But the result this time made Guan Ping even more shocked and angry.

The loss this night was even more tragic than before.

A total of twenty-three people disappeared for no reason, and no traces were found.

But the more than a dozen disciples in the foundation-building stage went out to explore for a night, and it was not completely fruitless.

In the middle of the night, they heard a scream, and the scream was very similar to that of a familiar disciple in the sect. The three foundation-building disciples who were traveling with them looked at each other and immediately flew towards the screaming place.

This time, they finally got something.

They rushed to the attic where a woman lived. After breaking in through the window, they only found a young woman unconscious on the bed and a junior brother from the sect lying on the ground.

The three foundation-building disciples immediately took a breath of cold air, their eyes full of horror.

This junior brother was named Shen Xing, a distant cousin of Elder Shen Ren. He was very talented, and Elder Shen Ren had high hopes for him. Whether it was mental skills, elixirs, or spirit beasts, he did his best to give them. Shen Xing's strength was also extraordinary. Although he had just reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, ordinary masters of the tenth level of Qi Refining could not match him at all.

What shocked the three people was that this genius in the sect was pierced through the heart by a sword and fell on his back on the ground, his eyes were about to bulge out of his eye sockets, and his eyes were full of confusion and unbelievable.

Next to Junior Brother Shen Xing, a tiger was cut into two pieces by a sword and died with its owner.

Apart from this, the two found no other clues.

After listening to the two people's narration, Guan Ping said calmly: "Take me to see it."

As the three of them came to the woman's attic, Guan Ping felt a strong fluctuation of gold spiritual power.

Coming to the body of Shen Xing, Guan Ping checked it out and said with certainty: "Junior Brother Shen Xing and this spirit beast were both killed by gold power. If my guess is correct, the person who came should have used the gold magic "Geng Jin Jue"."

"But this "Geng Jin Jue" is just a low-level gold magic, with average power. How can it hurt Junior Brother Shen Xing? But according to my observation, this strong fluctuation of gold spiritual power is at least dozens of times that of "Geng Jin Jue". "Geng Jin Jue" is just a low-level magic. Even if I personally perform "Geng Jin Jue", I can't achieve such an effect." Guan Ping looked puzzled.

Several people around him were silent for a while.

Senior Brother Guan Ping couldn't find out the truth, but became more confused, making the matter more confusing and difficult to deal with.

Guan Ping gave an order, and someone immediately brought the woman who fainted last night.

The woman was only about twenty years old, with a pretty face. She seemed to have cried last night, and her eyes were red.

Guan Ping asked with a pleasant face: "May I ask your name, young lady? Did you see anything yesterday? Do you know how this person died?"

When the woman heard Guan Ping say this, she seemed to remember what happened last night. She almost lost her virginity because of it. She couldn't help but feel sad, and tears came out again, like pear blossoms in the rain.

Guan Ping frowned. This woman was really troublesome, crying and sobbing, but he still forced a smile and asked: "Answer the truth, I will keep you safe, and no one will hurt you again in the future."

The woman's crying gradually stopped, and she sobbed: "My name is Yingying. Last night, I was sleeping and suddenly found someone broke into the room. I was about to call for help, but I was knocked unconscious by that person. I didn't know anything about what happened afterwards. When I woke up, I found that the person had been killed by others. These three gods stood in my room, just like you, asking me about what happened last night." The woman pointed to the three foundation-building disciples and said.

Guan Ping looked at the three junior brothers in the foundation building period, and they nodded in succession. One of them stepped forward and said, "Yes, she did say so last night. She didn't see any trace of other people."

Guan Ping was very angry. If the eighteen disciples were missing, he could still shirk responsibility and make his own excuses. But Shen Xing was the one favored by Elder Shen Ren. Now he is dead, and he can't shirk responsibility anyway.

Guan Ping cursed secretly. It was not a loss for Shen Xing to die. He knocked the woman unconscious, so that the woman couldn't see the face of the person. She couldn't find the enemy after being killed. He deserved it.

Guan Ping comforted Yingying and ordered the three junior brothers to take the bodies of Shen Xing and Hua Hu away.

After the few people left, Yingying sat down on the ground, with cold sweat on her back.

Just now, she didn't tell the truth. She remembered what happened last night clearly.

At that time, she was asleep and was woken up by Shen Xing. Shen Xing wanted to flirt with her. She struggled hard, but couldn't escape.

At the most critical moment, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared from behind the door. After two golden sword lights, Shen Xing and the tiger were killed, so she survived.

She had never seen such a bloody scene before and almost fainted.

The middle-aged man comforted her: "Don't be afraid, girl. I have killed this man. You should leave this smoke-filled city and go somewhere else."

As soon as the voice fell, the middle-aged man seemed to hear something, and his body moved. He was about to break the window and leave, but he remembered something and suddenly turned around and knocked her unconscious with a palm.

After waking up, she found that the middle-aged man had disappeared. Three young disciples stood in the room and asked her what happened.

The middle-aged man saved her, so she naturally wouldn't tell him what he looked like. She said that she was unconscious and didn't know anything.

Maybe she looked delicate and weak, but the three people didn't doubt him and believed what she said.

She was brought in for questioning again today, and she still said the same thing.

The middle-aged man rescued her from the fire and water, so she naturally hoped that he would be safe.

The people in Yanmancheng were in panic now, and she planned to leave with her parents tomorrow and hide in other places for a while.

Guan Ping brought his junior brother back to the original courtyard. The disciples were all shocked when they saw Shen Xing's body.

When they heard that Shen Xing was killed while committing a crime, everyone was shocked.

Many people who had done evil in the past trembled in their hearts, fearing that they would be killed like Shen Xing.

Everyone knew how strong Shen Xing was. The person who could kill him in a very short time and leave safely before the senior brother in the foundation-building period arrived, and the person who killed Shen Xing, showed his strength.

In two days, a total of 41 people disappeared for no reason and one died.

The missing people were all Qi Refining cultivators, and their strength was even worse than Shen Xing. Shen Xing was killed, and the fate of these missing people was self-evident.

A panic began to spread among the disciples of Yuling Sect. Many Qi Refining disciples were worried and could not rest all day.

Night fell again.

No one dared to go out easily this time. Compared with enjoyment, these Qi Refining disciples valued their lives more.

No one could guarantee whether they could come back alive after going out.

Everyone was filled with fear.
