The cloaked man probably never dreamed that Shen Qing would act so decisively. She didn't even ask a second time.

But it was too late. His body and soul were completely dead and returned to this world.

After putting away the formation plate, Shen Qing picked up the storage bag dropped by the cloaked man. With the death of its owner, the mark on the storage bag also disappeared.

Before opening it, Shen Qing couldn't help but pray, hoping that there was a big shipment of stuff inside.

She opened the storage bag with great anticipation, and found dozens of spirit stones, a rotten book, and a token.

Gone?!

Not sure, take another look.

Shen Qing opened it again and found the same things inside, nothing had changed.

"I c."

Shen Qing was so angry that she wanted to laugh. She used two puppet substitutes!! A level five formation plate!! And all she picked up was these scraps of copper and iron.

No one wants these things even if they are given for free.

What does it mean to gain less than you put in? This is it!

No wonder the other party didn’t even know the fifth-level formation. He was so poor and ignorant! I didn’t know whether I should pity him or not.

Poor ass!

She pities herself!

Shen Qing put the storage bag into the ring unhappily. Xiaolu poked his head out of the spirit beast bag and asked, "Is it solved?"

"uh-huh."

Xiaolu couldn't help but admire him a little. He was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but he could kill a Golden Core expert. It was really terrifying.

Xiaolu couldn't help but shrink back, feeling relieved that she hadn't provoked her in the first place.

Shen Qing used running water to wash away the bloodstains. The dead bodies of the Jindan monks would turn into excellent nutrients to nourish the land. Soon, the plants here would grow exceptionally lush.

Shen Qing stepped on the flying knife and rushed back to Moliang County.

Fortunately, the female ghost and Magistrate Li were still in the county government office, and Shen Qing shook Magistrate Li awake without any hesitation.

"You..." Magistrate Li's eyes were blurred due to the shaking.

"The person who placed the restriction is dead, and the restriction on you has been lifted. Do you still remember what happened?"

Magistrate Li's obscured memories returned and his face turned pale.

"I remember now. There was a person who lied to me and told me that ghosts like the young lady can only enter reincarnation after their obsessions are resolved. I believed him."

"Didn't he tell you that if you get involved in a murder case, you'll become a ghost?"

“…I harmed her.”

"You're pretty amazing, you've been a ghost yourself, how come you don't know anything?"

"It's my first time being a ghost, and there's no one to teach me." County Magistrate Li felt wronged when he said this. When he was a human, at least he had teachers and experienced predecessors to teach him how to be a human, but now that he's a ghost, there's no ghost to teach him.

He was just a groom when he was alive and he had never even read a few supernatural novels. What would he know?

Besides, there were old people who told stories about ghosts harming people, but they never said that the ghosts would be punished for it. He thought it was okay.

Shen Qing was silent, but what he said made some sense.

Shen Qing said to him: "You know you are most likely being used. The other party is relying on you to turn your daughter into a fierce ghost, with the goal of making her a more powerful ghost king so that he can control her."

"I was used?"

"Will he come to find the young lady? Little fairy, please help us. The young lady has suffered enough in her life, she shouldn't be taken advantage of after her death." County Magistrate Li wanted to kneel down and beg her, but he was tied up like a caterpillar and he couldn't succeed after a long time.

It's quite funny.

Shen Qing untied the restraints on him, and Magistrate Li collapsed to the ground.

"You have a terrible memory. I told you he was dead before I came here, but now you've forgotten it again."

Magistrate Li looked up in surprise, "Does that mean the young lady is safe? Thank you, little immortal."

Shen Qing just narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then no, neither of you is safe now."

what?

Shen Qing waved his sleeves and took the man and the ghost into his sleeves. She didn't believe that a Jindan cultivator would do so much just to cultivate a fierce ghost.

There may be a bigger conspiracy behind this.

Now these two are like a target, and no one knows if there will be more people coming next.

Is there only one Jindan monk? She couldn't be sure.

So she decided to keep the two of them in the sect first.

Okay, mission accomplished, done successfully.

*

The deacon of the Disciple Hall held the compiled report in his hand with a frown on his face. In the past month, the sect had received far more requests for help than usual, and without exception, they were all caused by evil spirits.

"There must be something wrong here. I want to go see the headmaster."

When Lu Fengxian learned about this, he also frowned in worry. "Why are there so many evil spirits? Could someone have done this on purpose?"

Deacon Zhang said, "I have my doubts too, Master, please take a look."

Deacon Zhang held up a map made of spiritual power, with all places with evil spirits marked in red. The red stretched endlessly, pointing in one direction along the edge of Xuantian Sect.

Lu Fengxian looked carefully and saw that the direction was the Demon Sect Yinglong Sect!

"Why is it Yinglong Sect?!"

"It's not clear at the moment, but the Sect Master can write a letter to ask. We have been living in peace with the Yinglong Sect for so many years. If it's not them, then it means there is another force involved."

Lu Fengxian: "Okay, I know about this."

After Deacon Zhang left, Lu Fengxian thought about it and ran to find Wanji.

Wanji had been living in retirement for so many years, and now he was being dragged out by his junior fellow apprentice to find a solution. He was very unhappy.

"Look at you, why are you so sad? If it was a demon cultivator who caused the trouble, then beat him up. If it was someone else, then arrest him. What is there to worry about?"

"It's easy for you to say it. The Yinglong Sect is not someone that is easy to deal with." Lu Fengxian curled his lips.

Wan Ji pinched his mustache. "Don't be afraid. Send some disciples to investigate the Yinglong Sect first."

"Yeah, that's right." Lu Fengxian nodded, and the jade pendant hanging around his waist flashed red light.

Red light - this kind of light usually appears when there is something urgent.

Lu Fengxian guessed that something big must have happened.

Wan Ji also leaned over, and Lu Fengxian unfolded the information in front of him.

"Not good, the disciples who came down the mountain met with an accident."

The person who wrote the letter was none other than the elder who guarded the Life Pavilion. Just now, the life tablets of more than a dozen disciples who had gone down the mountain were all shattered.

Wan Ji took a careful look and found that most of them were inner disciples.

"Damn it! More than a dozen disciples lost their lives almost at the same time. The people behind the scenes did it on purpose, they are just provoking our Xuantian Sect!" Lu Fengxian slammed the table in anger.

Wan Ji patted Lu Fengxian on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Calm down. Protecting our disciples is the most important thing. Now send a letter to the disciples who are still outside and ask them to come back as soon as possible."

"I'll make arrangements right away."

Wan Ji nodded and followed him out. Suddenly he stopped and his eyes, which were usually narrowed, suddenly opened.

The mark he left on his apprentice was triggered!

Disciple is in danger!
