The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"Five years have passed, and Brother Xiao Zhu can still recognize me at a glance. I am really flattered!" The black shadow retracted its wings, and her figure and appearance appeared more clearly in front of Xiao Zhu. It was Murong Qiu Shui, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi's classmate at Nuowan College.

In five years, Murong Qiu Shui's appearance had changed a little, and the most iconic pair of wings behind her had turned black, which was why Xiao Zhu did not recognize her at first. But she must have recognized Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi when Xiao Zhu spread his wings.

"So it seems that the legendary crow in Luoying Town is you? These civilians have no grudges against you, why do you want to harm them?" Xia Shi looked into Murong Qiu Shui's eyes and asked. She, who was always calm in the face of praise or criticism, now her tone was filled with anger.

"My dear sister, although I cannot be called a good person, I am definitely not an evil person who kills innocent people. Too many people have died in the war between the two religions over the years. The civilians in Luoying Town have been infected with the plague, and the disease has spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, leading to large-scale deaths. What does it have to do with me? Do you really believe in that nonsense about the crow curse they are talking about?" Murong Qiu Shui said tenderly.

Xia Shi and Murong Qiu Shui had been together in Yunling Academy for more than two years. She knew that although Murong Qiu Shui had a strange personality, she was not a liar, so she carefully pondered what she said.

Xia Shi certainly didn't believe in the mysterious rumors about the crow curse, but the deaths of the people in Luoying Town were too strange, and she had never thought of the reason before. When she heard Murong Qiushui say this today, she thought of the few lucky people who survived the disease. Most of these people were young and strong, which showed that it was their strong bodies that helped them overcome the plague.

Thinking of this, Xia Shi's expression softened, but she then thought of something else and continued to ask, "Why did you massacre those civilians in Mr. Lu's medicine shop half a year ago?"

"Huh? That day I went to the pharmacy to get some medicine, but unexpectedly the old man not only didn't have the medicine I wanted, but also spoke rudely to me. I just killed him. What's that a big deal?" Murong Qiu Shui said nonchalantly.

"You, you are simply unreasonable!" After hearing Murong Qiu Shui's words and seeing her look of treating human life as worthless, Xia Shi's pretty face turned red with anger.

"My dear sister, don't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. You have your brother Xiao Zhu to protect you, so how can you know the pain I have experienced over the years?" Murong Qiu Shui did not get angry but laughed, and asked Xia Shi in a teasing tone.

Xiao Zhu realized something was wrong. He stared at Murong Qiu Shui and suddenly asked, "Where's Murong Changtian? Where did he go?"

Murong Qiushui and Murong Changtian are twin siblings. In Xiao Zhu's impression, the two siblings have always been inseparable. Now only the sister is seen, but the brother is not there. This is very strange. Xia Shi also casts a puzzled look at Murong Qiushui.

Hearing this, Murong Qiu Shui's smile full of show-off and frivolity suddenly froze on her face, just like a sunny sky suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a violent storm came one after another. She did not respond, but took a step back with a gloomy face. The wings behind her instantly spread out, and she turned into a black shadow again and escaped.

Seeing Murong Qiushui's reaction, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi looked at each other. They both realized that something was wrong. Xia Shi was unsure for a moment and asked, "Brother, what should we do?"

Xiao Zhu glanced at the direction where Murong Qiu Shui disappeared and said, "Let's go and catch up!"

Xiao Zhu picked up Xia Shi, spread his huge wings and chased after her. With Xiao Zhu's current cultivation, he could not fly faster than Murong Qiushui, who was good at flying. However, with his spiritual blood, he had unpredictable interception methods, and Murong Qiushui would never be able to escape from him.

Murong Qiu Shui obviously realized this. She only flew a short distance, suddenly identified a position, and dived towards the ground.

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi followed closely behind. When they landed on the ground, Murong Qiu Shui had disappeared, but in front of them was a deep and dark cave.

"Brother, it seems like she led us here on purpose." Xia Shi said, pointing to the cave in front of them.

Xiao Zhu nodded and said, "That's right, but Murong Qiushui seems to know a lot of things. We may be able to understand the situation of Huanling Country through her. Let's go in and take a look together!"

"Okay, let's be careful." Xia Shi replied in approval.

Xiao Zhu lit the flames, illuminating the cave, and the two walked deeper into the cave. In this strange and claustrophobic environment, the two walked very carefully, fearing that they would touch any mechanism, but they did not find anything unusual along the way.

Not long after the two men walked, they reached the end of the cave. To their great surprise, this was actually a living room. The furniture in the room was all made of stone, including stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds. Most of the daily necessities for daily life were available, but the workmanship was crude and the conditions were very simple.

In the center of such a simple house, a very exquisite and complex formation was drawn using the crystal core of a magical beast. It's just that the formation has become ineffective, but traces of the formation diagram are still there.

It can be seen from here that the formation is very important. The owner of the house put all his energy on the formation in the center and neglected his own living conditions.

Xiao Zhu was not an expert in formations, so he couldn't understand the pattern of the formation, but he could see that the formation would eventually fail.

Xiao Zhu walked around the formation and went to the depth of the room. At this time, a spirit tablet attracted his attention. Xiao Zhu walked over quickly, picked up the spirit tablet, and saw four words written on it. He fell silent and his expression became very sad.

What was written on the spirit tablet was: Tomb of dearest relative Murong Changtian.

Xia Shi noticed Xiao Zhu's abnormality and asked in confusion: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Xiao Zhu pointed to the words on the spirit tablet and Xia Shi took a look. Her eyes dimmed. She sighed and said, "No wonder Murong Qiushui reacted like this. It turns out that her biological brother has passed away."

Xiao Zhu thought for a long time before he slowly said, "Shi'er, seeing these things here, plus Murong Qiu Shui's performance just now, some of my guesses seem to be connected. Maybe I have guessed what Murong Qiu Shui has been through."

Xia Shi blinked and said, "Brother, tell me."

"Murong Changtian did not die of natural causes. He must have been harmed by someone some time ago. When Murong Changtian was injured and on the verge of death, Murong Qiu Shui looked for medicine everywhere. It was at that time that Murong Qiu Shui went to Luoying Town, trying to find herbs but to no avail. In a very bad mood, he was offended by Mr. Lu and others, so he killed that group of people in anger. After that, Murong Qiu Shui found this formation from somewhere, and wanted to use it to save Murong Changtian, but unfortunately he failed. Murong Qiu Shui and Murong Changtian were siblings with a deep relationship. After her brother's death, Murong Qiu Shui's personality also changed greatly, and she became the darkened her we see today." Xiao Zhu told him what he had guessed.

"It turns out that she is also a poor person!" Xia Shi thought of what Murong Qiu Shui said: Don't advise others to be good unless you have experienced their suffering.

She sighed gloomily.
