The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Thinking of this, Ling Ziye reminded: "When we get to Lingyun City, we should go to Kuixing Hall to get the mission first."

Ling Yan'er nodded, thinking of the suspenseful crime dramas she had watched, and asked, "When we take on a mission, will someone take us to the crime scene and explain the situation to us?"

Ling Ziye gave Ling Yan'er a strange look and said, "Only mortals need these things to solve crimes and track down murderers."

Those who practice Taoism naturally have their own methods.

After Ling Yan'er and the other two got off the flying boat at the city gate, they found that the martial law in Lingyun City had become even more severe. Basically, no one came out. The city gate, which was bustling before, was basically empty, and there were only two people entering the city.

When Ling Yan'er entered the city, the guard dutifully reminded her, "The city lord said that once you enter the city, you cannot leave until the demon cultivator is found."

Only one day had passed, and people were no longer allowed to leave the city. On Saturday, Hua Qingfeng and Dongfang Zichu were still saying that martial law was in effect, but people were allowed to leave the city.

It seems that the monk among the victims was of high status.

After Ling Yan'er and Dongfang Zichu entered the city, they followed Ling Ziye to Kuixing Hall. Seeing Ling Ziye took on the task skillfully, the manager of Kuixing Hall also very politely gave Ling Ziye a certificate of accepting the task.

"It seems that the city lord has invested a lot of money." Ling Ziye looked at the certificate in his hand.

This mission in Kuixingtang not only gives each person who captures the demon cultivator a Yuanying stage magic weapon and a thousand high-grade spirit stones, but also anyone who participates can receive 100 medium-grade spirit stones.

Seeing Ling Ziye accept the mission, two people who were also in the Nascent Soul stage came over and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have also accepted the mission, right? Do you want to join us? Our leader is a senior brother from the Qiantian Sect."

Ling Ziye glanced at Ling Yan'er and refused, "No need."

After Ling Ziye finished speaking, he went out with Ling Yaner.

Only then did Ling Yan'er realize that the Kuixingtang mission certificate could actually point to the location of the victim and the identity of the victim.

After Ling Ziye told Ling Yan'er the identities of the four people, he asked Ling Yan'er which one to go to first.

Ling Yan'er said, "Let's go to the alley where the incident first happened."

Ling Ziye rented a carriage and rushed to the place where the first child had the accident. The first child was a five-year-old girl. Her father died early, and her mother made a living by doing some washing and mending work.

The alley where the accident happened was right in front of her house. Her mother was sewing at home on the day of the accident. According to her mother, she did not hear any sound that day until the child did not come back for dinner in the evening. She asked the children of the neighbors, but none of them had seen her.

The owner of the grocery store next door also said that he had never seen her child go out. She reported the case to the government office that day, and the government office recorded it as abducted.

When Ling Yan'er and Ling Ziye arrived at the alley, nothing had changed. The doors of the surrounding houses were locked, and a voice scolding a child could be heard from inside: "Zhou Ya disappeared at the door. You're always thinking about going out to play. Can't you just play at home? What if something happens? You want to piss me off to death, right?"

Ling Yan'er took a look at the dilapidated alley. Unlike the luxurious buildings with carved dragons and painted phoenixes on the Kuixing Hall side, the surrounding buildings were all blue-tiled houses that had obviously experienced years of wind and rain. The road in the alley was not paved with stone slabs, but bumpy mud.

Ling Ziye took a look and said, "I really can't see anything here."

Ling Yan'er took out her phone and shook her head: "There's a clue."

In reality, nothing can be seen, but the mobile phone shows three warm yellow light spots in front of Zhou Ya's house.

Ling Yan'er walked inside with her cell phone. When she arrived at Zhou Ya's door, she clicked on three light spots on her cell phone one by one. Ling Ziye saw a wisp of black demonic energy suddenly appear in front of Ling Yan'er. He stepped forward quickly, but before he could take a closer look, he saw the wisp of demonic energy dissipate in the air.

There were two things left on the ground: a pink purse that had been washed pale, and two drops of dark brown blood.

Ling Yan'er picked up the purse, while Ling Ziye squatted down and examined the two drops of blood with Dongfang Zichu. Ling Ziye said solemnly, "It's a demon cultivator, and a demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. Judging from the blood, he's injured. He must have kidnapped the child to recover."

The children abducted by him are in great danger. Demon cultivators are different from monster cultivators. They have no morals. It is normal for them to eat human flesh and blood to recover.

The reason why he hid himself was that the first person he kidnapped was a human child, who must have been seriously injured.

Ling Yan'er took the purse and knocked on the door that represented Zhou Ya's home. The woman who opened the door looked very haggard. She looked at the stranger in front of her, her eyes red and her voice hoarse: "I've already said, I know nothing, I didn't hear any sound!"

Ling Yan'er handed over the purse she had found and consoled him, "The other party was a demon cultivator. It's not your fault you didn't hear it. Isn't this your child's purse?"

The woman looked at the purse in Ling Yan'er's hand, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads from a broken string. She wiped away her tears and said, "It's Yaya's purse. Where did the Immortal find it?"

Ling Yan'er looked towards Ling Ziye, who was still squatting and digging, preparing to dig out the two drops of blood and take them away. She said, "It's right here. The demon cultivator used a trick to smudge the eyes, so no one could see it before."

Ling Yan'er didn't know if it was a trick, but since Ling Ziye had no reaction, it must not be. But she couldn't say that it was a game on her phone.

After all, how can a puzzle-solving and mission-finding game like this really not give any clues? You must run to the mission location to get clues, run to the next mission location, get the next clue, run to all the mission locations, then lock on to the suspect, and finally defeat the boss to complete the mission.

Otherwise, let alone seven days, she would not be able to catch a demon cultivator on her own even if she was given seven years!

Although she had indeed watched two episodes of Conan and some of Detective Dee and Justice Bao, she was not a fan of suspense and puzzles. The only thing she learned from watching Conan was the phrase "There is only one truth!"

"Thank you, Immortal." The woman knelt before Ling Yan'er. Ling Yan'er quickly helped her up and said, "I'm not an immortal. We will do our best to kill the murderer."

Ling Yan'er comforted the woman a few more words, then rushed to the next location with Ling Ziye who had finished digging the soil.

The second victim was an eleven-year-old boy, the son of an innkeeper. When Ling Yan'er and Ling Ziye arrived at the inn, two groups of people had already arrived. The inn was not open for business, but these two groups asked the owner and the waiter very detailed questions.

Ling Yan'er and Ling Ziye did not come forward to talk, but they also understood most of the things. The only things left were some unimportant things that they had asked before they came.
