Kill the heroine at the beginning, and the little apprentice sister will take away the luck

"There's no need to rush about food and accommodation. City Lord Lu, please tell us about the situation in Wumu Town first."

Tang Xiuhe looked at the city lord Lu Wu and said that he had some understanding of this city lord. He was lustful, fond of wine and liked to win people's hearts.

Xuewu City is located at the northernmost end of the Far North, close to the seal of the Demon Realm. Things happen from time to time. Lu Wu always prepares food and accommodation when the disciples of Qingxuan Sect come to fight the demons.

As long as the evil cultivator does not affect him, he will not be in a hurry to eliminate the evil cultivator.

The disciples of Qingxuan Sect would also accept his kindness because they were tired from the long journey.

But this time it was not a small matter of the seal fluctuating, but a major event in which a demon cultivator might have escaped, and the demon cultivator had already hurt people, so Tang Xiuhe was anxious to resolve it.

City Lord Lu wasn't angry at Tang Xiuhe's rejection of his kindness, but his expression became much more serious: "As of yesterday, fifty-six women have disappeared in Wumu Town, all of them unmarried. Seven women have also disappeared in the city since three days ago, including one from the City Lord's Mansion.

"Master Tang should have seen it when he entered the city today. Almost every household in the city has locked their doors tightly, and everyone is in a state of panic, fearing that demonic cultivators will come and abduct their daughters."

"Are all the missing people unmarried?"

The disappeared women were all young girls over 16 years old and unmarried. Tang Xiuhe was a little confused about this, so he asked.

"Exactly. All those missing from Ebony Town and the city were unmarried."

City Lord Lu nodded heavily in answer to Tang Xiuhe's question. He was a little puzzled as to why Tang Xiuhe asked again, so he said, "But I remember that there are no unmarried women in your mansion, City Lord Lu."

Tang Xiuhe had a good memory. Although the last time he came to Fengwu City was ten years ago, he still remembered that there were no unmarried women of marriageable age in the City Lord's Mansion. Even if there were newborns in the mansion, they would only be ten years old at most.

City Lord Lu's face, which had been pretending to be serious, suddenly became a little awkward. He coughed twice before saying, "There are indeed no unmarried women in my house. The one who is missing is my 48th concubine.

That day was our wedding night. After I finished drinking with the guests in the front yard and returned home, I found that everyone was gone, with only the bridal veil left on the bed.

There was a black feather in the house, just like the one found in the missing woman.

Forty-eight concubines!

This shocked Tang Xiu and his group, especially Tang Xiu, who remembered that when he came here ten years ago, City Lord Lu had just married his eighth wife, and had a big fight with his original wife because of the eighth wife.

The original wife and her two sons left the city lord's mansion and were attacked by monsters outside the city. The three of them, mother and son, were all seriously injured.

That was why Tang Xiuhe came to Xuewu City.

The city lord's wife and their eldest son died of their injuries, and only the youngest son survived.

When they left, City Lord Lu dismissed all his concubines and swore in front of the tomb of his wife that he would never take another concubine.

His master also told him that the City Lord's wife gave City Lord Lu a secret family medicine before leaving, which made City Lord Lu lose the ability to pass on the family line. From now on, City Lord Lu can only rely on his youngest son.

But only ten years later, City Lord Lu broke his oath and took in a concubine, and even took in 48 concubines in a row!

How could this not shock Tang Xiuhe?

Tang Xiuhe was shocked and also asked about Lu Wuyou who had managed to survive that year.

City Lord Lu froze upon hearing Lu Wuyou's name, and sighed with great regret: "Wuyou died six years ago."

"died?!"

Tang Xiuhe stood up excitedly.

"Yes, he's dead. The child was naughty and went to play in Xueyin Mountain by himself, and accidentally fell off a cliff.

The cliffs on Xueyin Mountain are unfathomable. Anyone who falls in will definitely die. No one can go down to retrieve his body, so the mansion can only build a cenotaph for him."

City Lord Lu wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves, looking very sad.

The cliffs on Xueyin Mountain are indeed steep, with strange rocks and poisonous fog at the bottom. It is true that anyone who falls down will die.

Tang Xiuhe could still remember the child who called him brother, but he also did not forget the important matter. He sighed and said, "After the matter in Wumu Town is settled, I will go to Xueyin Mountain to retrieve Wuyou's body.

City Lord Lu, you just said that one of the missing women disappeared in the City Lord's Mansion. Could you take us to see the house where she lived at the time?"

"Of course, it's in the backyard. After the person disappeared, no servant dared to go in, so I asked the housekeeper to lock it.

Lu Jiu, go get the key to Hongmei's room."

The Lu Jiu mentioned by City Lord Lu is the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion, and Hongmei is the missing 48th concubine, who disappeared three days ago.

……

Lu Jiu took a key to open the lock and gently pushed the wooden door. A gust of wind blew, and a piece of red paper flew towards him, and happened to cover City Lord Lu's face.

City Lord Lu was so frightened that his squinting eyes widened. He took the red paper off his face with trembling hands and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was half a broken wedding character.

Weiwei stood behind Tang Xiuhe and followed him in.

The day's fruits and snacks were still placed on the table inside the house, and the windows near the door were tightly closed. Only the window facing the door had been opened at some point, and the biting cold wind kept blowing in.

The candlestick in the center was blown to pieces.

Chen Wei held Leng Zhuxin's hand tightly and looked at the circular partition leading to the bedroom on the right. The pink curtain separated the inside and the outside. The cloth was not very thick, and through the dim light, one could see a bed inside and an iron candlestick beside the bed.

For some reason, Leng Zhuxin felt a chill spreading from the bedroom. He pulled Chen Wei, who was approaching the bedroom, back and a sharp stone appeared out of thin air in his hand, which he threw out with force.

The stone wrapped in spiritual power cut an entire piece of peach pink curtain. From their perspective, they could only see the wedding quilt neatly spread on the bed and the wedding scarf at the foot of the bed.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

But a disciple following behind Tang Xiuhe pointed to the corner of the bedroom with a look of horror on his face, "Damn, mummy, there's a mummy in there, brother!"

He was a disciple who started practicing two years ago. He was at the seventh level of Qi training and had never gone down the mountain to gain experience. The first dead person he saw was a pitch-black mummy, which inevitably made him feel scared.

Especially the pitch-black mummy, still wearing a light red wedding dress, with long hair draped over its body and its legs tied and hung on the beam in the bedroom, its empty eye sockets still looking at him.

This made his legs go weak, and he wanted to follow but was frozen in place by fear.

……

Leng Zhuxin was not afraid. She had seen too many evil spirits in her previous life, and she had also seen corpses that died in even more miserable ways than this mummy.

When Tang Xiuhe turned around and walked into the bedroom, she had already entered the room first.

He looked up at the rope tied to the beam, his eyes flashed, and Feishuang flew out of his hand in an instant. Everyone only heard a dull sound, and a ball of black demonic energy suddenly appeared, flying towards the direction of City Lord Lu as if it had eyes.

This small ball of evil energy was enough to make City Lord Lu possessed. Tang Xiuhe and Leng Zhuxin attacked almost at the same time to disperse the evil energy.

Regardless of City Lord Lu who fell to the ground in fear, the two of them walked carefully to the mummy and looked up at the beams vigilantly.

There was nothing unusual on the beam except the rope that had just been cut.

The face of the dried corpse in wedding clothes lying on the ground could no longer be seen, but the person appearing in this room was most likely Hongmei who disappeared three days ago.

But in order to avoid any accidents, Tang Xiuhe still asked about Hongmei's physical characteristics and the accessories she was wearing on the day she disappeared.

The height matched, as did the jade pendant on the body. Tang Xiuhe turned the corpse over, untied the ropes that bound the feet and wedding dress, examined the cause of death, and stood up.

"It's definitely the work of a demonic cultivator. The deceased was drained of his vital energy. It must be a succubus or a nightmare. Has any man of exceptional appearance entered the city recently?"

Tang Xiuhe asked City Lord Lu, who had been helped by Chen Jiu to sit on a chair.

The appearance of succubus and nightmares are both extremely outstanding and unforgettable. Although they both rely on absorbing human essence to cultivate, Tang Xiuhe in Xuewu City thinks that it is a nightmare.

City Lord Lu wasn't entirely clear on this, so he shook his head and said, "Although Snow Mist City isn't large, there are many people coming in and out. There's no need to report who enters the city every day. Regarding what Master Tang is asking, I'm afraid we should have the guards at the city gate come over..."

Master Tang, be careful!

City Lord Lu's pupils dilated instantly, and he looked at Tang Xiuhe in horror and shouted behind him.
