The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Wherever there are people, there will always be conflicts. This is an eternal truth.

Ling Yan'er and Ling Ziye didn't take the talisman paper seriously, but Ling Yan'er still put both pieces of talisman paper back into her backpack.

When we arrived at the location of the third victim, it was a ruin. It was not appropriate to call it a ruin, as no one had lived here for a long time. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and there was a tall magnolia tree in the yard.

Seeing Ling Yan'er and the other two, a child clinging to the door frame next to them came forward and asked, "Are you also here looking for clues to Chen Chen's disappearance?"

"Yes." Ling Yan'er answered from the doorway, "How did you know we were here looking for clues?"

"Your clothes are different from those of the people here. I've seen a lot of people wearing clothes like yours coming here these days," said the child.

Ling Yan'er looked down at her own clothes, then at the child's. The child's were obviously ordinary coarse linen clothes, while she, Ling Ziye, and Dongfang Zichu were all wearing colorful brocade clothes.

"So you saw so many people coming here," Ling Yan'er asked, "do you know why Chen Chen disappeared?"

"Yes, we were playing hide-and-seek at the monk's house that day. He pretended to be a ghost and came to catch us, so we hid. I heard him count to nine and then he fell silent." The child said, "Then we all came out and we couldn't see him anymore."

"Thank you very much, little friend." Ling Yan'er said and walked into the yard.

Ling Yan'er walked under the tree and tapped twice on her phone. A wisp of demonic energy and a strand of hair appeared on the ground at the same time.

"Hair?" Ling Yan'er grabbed a strand of hair from the ground and asked doubtfully, "What's the use of hair? Can it be used to find someone?"

Dongfang Zichu nodded: "It is true that hair can be used to find people, but if hair can be used, clothes can also be used to find people. If that were useful, their bodies would have been found long ago."

Indeed, the evil cultivators must have made all the necessary preparations when kidnapping people, and would not expose themselves easily.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be said that it is difficult to find the demon cultivators.

As Ling Yan'er put her hair away and prepared to take the carriage to the next location, she heard Ling Ziye say, "A new victim has appeared."

"Is he a cultivator or a mortal?" Ling Yan'er asked.

"They are both cultivators." Ling Ziye said, "Whose place should we go to first?"

"Let's go in order. Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first." Ling Yan'er said.

Yes, the first missing cultivator was the city lord’s most beloved youngest son, so the city lord said that he could only enter the city but not leave, and was willing to spend a thousand high-grade spirit stones and a Nascent Soul stage magic weapon to find the evil cultivator.

Ling Yan'er and the other two entered the City Lord's Mansion with the credentials for accepting the mission, and were taken by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion to the place where the young master disappeared.

The guard took the man to a very beautiful small courtyard and said, "The young master disappeared in this courtyard."

Ling Yan'er checked with her phone. There was no bright yellow spot representing a clue. She said with certainty, "Not here."

The guard was also surprised: "How could this be?! The last time everyone saw the young master, he was clearly in this courtyard."

Ling Yan'er enlarged the map of the City Lord's Mansion and looked at the spot of light across two courtyards. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the guards were lying or they really didn't know where the child disappeared.

Ling Yan'er asked, "I have a special tracking method and know where the young master last disappeared. I wonder if you allow us to go there."

Ling Ziye and Dongfang Zichu both looked at Ling Yan'er. The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Please wait in this courtyard. I will make a decision after I go to Bingming City Lord."

"Okay, go ahead." Ling Yan'er waved her hand and sat on the stone table in the yard.

She looked around the exquisite little courtyard, for example, the stone table, which was the perfect height for her to use as a bench. It was obviously a child's residence.

Ling Ziye and Dongfang Zichu also found a place to sit down. About a quarter of an hour later, the guards followed a dignified middle-aged man and walked over quickly.

"Do you have any evidence that Xuan'er didn't disappear in this yard?!" the middle-aged man asked anxiously.

Ling Yan'er said, "If you agree to let us move around freely, I can take you to find evidence."

Anyway, the demonic energy is the most obvious evidence.

"Okay, you lead the way." said the middle-aged man.

Ling Yan'er stood up, looked at her phone to identify the direction when she walked to the door, and then went straight to the courtyard where the light was.

This courtyard is close to the street. Compared with the previous courtyard, it is obviously not as refined, but it is also simple and elegant. It is obvious at first glance that it is an uninhabited courtyard.

Several people followed Ling Yan'er into the yard, and Ling Yan'er clicked on the four light spots in the yard.

Two of the light spots were wisps of demonic energy, one in the center of the yard and the other near the wall near the street.

Although I don't know whether it is the direction of entry or exit, it is still a very good and clear direction guide.

The remaining two light spots were a jade pendant and a pearl.

Before Ling Yan'er could pick up the items, she saw the middle-aged man pick up the jade pendant and pearls on the ground and said, "These are Xuan'er's things."

Then he looked at the direction where the demonic energy was before it dissipated and said, "Based on the demonic energy, this should be a demonic cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. I wonder if fellow Daoist can directly track the traces of a demonic cultivator."

Ling Yan'er shook her head: "Not yet."

Checking the real scene is to complete the pre-tasks. Once the pre-tasks are completed, the boss will definitely appear!

Whether she kills the boss face to face or needs to go there first, she will find the boss anyway.

After all, this is a mission to slay demons and eliminate evil, not a puzzle-solving mission.

Hearing the key words Ling Yan'er said, it means that Ling Yan'er really knows how to find that demon cultivator.

The middle-aged man said excitedly, "If you need any other conditions, just mention them. I want to crush that demon cultivator into ashes as soon as possible!"

He actually dared to attack his son, Song Mingcheng. He would tear this evil cultivator into pieces at all costs!

Ling Yan'er glanced at her phone, which still had no notifications, and said, "I heard there was another victim yesterday. I want to go there and take a look."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Song Mingcheng said, "The child who disappeared yesterday is my nephew. He also disappeared from home like my son Xuan'er."

Ling Yan'er followed Song Mingcheng to his brother's house. They were having lunch when they saw Song Mingcheng and Ling Yan'er arrive. They were surprised for a moment and asked, "Mingcheng, you're here. Have you eaten yet? Why don't you sit down and eat something together?"

He and his wife, who was sitting below him, were clearly crying before the few people arrived, but when they saw Song Mingcheng and his men coming, they greeted them warmly.

"Let's not eat for now. I'll take them to see where Xixi disappeared." Song Mingcheng said.
