The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Although she didn't understand why Song Mingcheng wanted to follow, Ling Yan'er didn't refuse.

It was already quite late when they arrived at their destination. When they were just near the destination, Ling Yan'er took out her cell phone and saw the red name!

The red-named Demon Cultivator was about to speak when Ling Ziye and Song Mingcheng flew out. Within a few breaths, the sound of fighting was heard.

The three little men fighting each other can be clearly seen on the phone.

Dongfang Zichu flew upwards, looked at the direction of the fight, and then came back down and said to Ling Yan'er, "It is indeed the demon cultivator from before. You did guess his movements correctly. How did you guess that?"

Ling Yan'er took out the last map of Lingyun City she had put away and said, "Look at the positions of the children who were abducted earlier. Doesn't it seem like there's a rudimentary formation? He must have abducted the children nearby to set up the formation."

From the first victim Zhou Ya to yesterday's Song Zixi, they were distributed in five directions.

Ling Yan'er suddenly remembered that everyone said that Song Zixuan disappeared in his own yard, but the place where he last disappeared shown on the phone was another yard, and there was indeed demonic energy in that yard.

Ling Yan'er even began to wonder, if it was a formation, maybe Song Zixuan was actually in the yard where he disappeared at the end.

After just thinking about it, Ling Yan'er denied it. If that was the case, it would be impossible for there to be no trace at all.

The fight between Ling Ziye, Song Mingcheng and the demon cultivator soon attracted the guards and surrounding cultivators.

Ling Yan'er didn't dare to go too close. She stayed in an area where she could see clearly but not be affected, and looked at the people fighting over there.

She was watching a live performance when suddenly someone appeared next to her. It was a beautiful older sister in a red dress, and she felt that she looked familiar.

The other party put his arm around Ling Yan'er's shoulders and asked, "What's your relationship with Ling Ziye? Are you his daughter?"

Ling Yan'er exclaimed, "Why do you say that?"

"That iceberg guy usually ignores people, but when he's with you, he actually protects you. If it weren't for his daughter, he wouldn't do that, right?" said the sister in red.

"Then can't she be his sweetheart?" Ling Yan'er was indignant. Why did he secretly demote her generation?

The red-dressed sister giggled for a long time before saying, "Although you are very cute, little sister, he shouldn't be so aggressive as to attack a mortal girl."

Dongfang Zichu floated over from Ling Yan'er's hand and said quietly, "You two really forgot."

The red-clothed sister saw Dongfang Zichu, then looked at Ling Yan'er, stepped back a few steps, and looked her over before saying, "Are you the one from Caledonia?"

She took out a work ID from her storage ring and looked in Ling Ziye's direction: "So Ling Ziye went to your college?"

Ling Yan'er finally remembered who the other person was. She had issued three work permits in the secret realm, one to Lin Siyuan, one to Zhao Huaiyu, and the only girl, Su Hongxiu in front of her.

"Su Hongxiu?" Ling Yan'er called out her name tentatively: "Why are you here?"

"I saw you and Ling Ziye walking towards this side of the street, so I followed you over to say hello," said Su Hongxiu.

Then, still unwilling to give up, he asked, "Are you really not Ling Ziye's daughter? I remember your last name is Ling, the same as Ling Ziye, right?"

Ling Yan'er replied speechlessly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, it's just a coincidence that we have the same last name."

Before Su Hongxiu could say anything else, Ling Ziye, who had already finished fighting, came over and called out coldly, "Su Hongxiu."

It was obvious that he heard what Su Hongxiu said before.

Su Hongxiu took two steps back and hid behind Ling Yan'er: "I was just joking. Of course I know you are innocent and chaste!"

Ling Yan'er looked towards the center of the fight, but only saw the black demonic energy gradually dissipating.

"Did that evil cultivator escape again?" Ling Yan'er asked.

Dongfang Zichu, who was watching over there, replied, "Yes, demon cultivators are notoriously difficult to kill and capture."

Otherwise, the demons wouldn't have such a bad reputation among humans. Not only do they do bad things, but they are also so slippery.

"Are there any demon cultivators in Lingyun City?" Su Hongxiu asked.

Ling Ziye looked at the other person: "You don't know?"

Su Hongxiu shook her head: "When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"

Ling Ziye looked at Ling Yan'er, who calculated and said, "At least five days."

Su Hongxiu nodded in understanding. "I went to refine a batch of elixirs a few days ago, and they just came out today. So, are you guys going to capture the demon cultivator together? How much is this demon cultivator worth this time?"

Ling Yan'er said enthusiastically, "A full one thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

"So many!" Su Hongxiu's eyes lit up. "I thought you must need some pills, so I came with you reluctantly."

Thanks, that's not really necessary.

"It's up to you." Ling Ziye said.

At this time, Song Mingcheng came over and said to Ling Yan'er, "It seems that your guess does make some sense. It's getting late today, why not go to the City Lord's Mansion to rest up."

Ling Yan'er agreed, saving a day's accommodation fee at the inn, and even getting a meal at the City Lord's Mansion.

Song Mingcheng's arrangements were indeed very thoughtful. Even Dongfang Zichu was given a separate room. After a nap and breakfast, Ling Yan'er suggested that she wanted to go and see the place where Song Zixuan disappeared.

Song Mingcheng followed him around all day yesterday. He had some matters at the City Lord's Mansion to deal with, so he didn't go with him and sent his housekeeper to follow him.

Ling Yan'er and the others arrived at the yard where Song Zixuan disappeared. The furnishings were the same as before, without any changes, and there was no light spot on the phone anymore.

The jade pendant and pearls from yesterday were all put away, and the evil spirit disappeared completely. There was no trace of anything related to Song Zixuan's disappearance.

Su Hongxiu had already inquired with the people in the City Lord's Mansion about what had happened, and now she asked, "I can't see anything here at all?"

"Yes." Ling Ziye replied, "This time, the demon cultivator was very cautious and didn't leave any valuable clues."

"I'll try using Qiu Shui." Su Hongxiu said, "Let's see if Qiu Shui can see what happened that day."

Qiu Shui is a mirror-like magic weapon she obtained from the secret realm. When activated, it can reproduce what happened at a specified time and place.

This function is quite useless, because it is not a killing magic weapon. She kept it because she thought the mirror carved with the blue phoenix looked nice, but she has not actually used it many times.

Ling Yan'er watched as Su Hongxiu took out a mirror-like magical instrument and pointed enthusiastically at the spot where the demonic energy had been before, saying, "This is where Song Zixuan disappeared the day before yesterday."

Su Hongxiu urged Qiu Shui, and the scene in the mirror changed. It was still the same courtyard, but from the servants who came in to clean, it could be seen that it was not the current time.

But from early morning to sunset, apart from the servants who were sweeping the yard, no one else was seen in this yard, whether it was the demon cultivator or the missing Song Zixuan.
