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

The bloodstains disappeared in the middle of the room. Leng Zhuxin stomped heavily on the ground twice and tapped it twice with the Feishuang Sword. It was not empty.

Looking forward, facing the bed, the red wedding quilt on it had not been touched.

Thinking that her cold jade lock was found in the secret compartment of the bed, Leng Zhuxin knocked on the bed legs one by one, but there was still no response.

The candlesticks made of black iron stood at the head and foot of the bed like two dead trees, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about them.

But just as Leng Zhuxin finished knocking on the bed and was about to stand up, she caught a glimpse of three fingerprints under the candlestick on the left, but not under the candlestick on the right.

Iron candlesticks are very easy to attract dust, and the room had not been cleaned for three days. In addition to wax, the candlesticks were covered with a layer of dust.

Looking from above, the candlesticks on both sides are intact, but looking from below, it is completely different. Someone has moved the one on the left.

Leng Zhuxin's eyes flashed, and she tilted her head towards the candlestick, reaching out to align her fingers with the mark under the candlestick.

The fingerprints were much larger than hers, and must have been left by a man.

She grasped and exerted force along the fingerprints, and the candlestick began to rotate with her movements. Soon there was a slight clicking sound, and suddenly a piece of the wooden bed collapsed!

A tunnel suddenly appeared. Leng Zhuxin turned around and saw that the shock on City Lord Lu’s face did not seem to be a lie.

I'm afraid he really doesn't know the existence of this secret passage.

This secret passage is also very hidden. When the mechanism is triggered, there is no other movement except for the slight sound. It is also very hidden and is located under the bed.

If Leng Zhuxin hadn't lifted up the hanging sheets when she checked the wooden bed, she probably wouldn't have discovered it for a while.

Leng Zhuxin let go of the candlestick and wanted to bend down to look, but was stopped by Tang Xiuhe who came down from the beam.

"I'll go, you and Chen Wei stay behind."

Tang Xiuhe used his spiritual power to create a protective shield to protect himself. He thrust his sword forward, bent down to check under the bed, and only after making sure there were no traps did he crawl into the tunnel under the bed.

Leng Zhuxin and Chen Wei followed closely behind. City Lord Lu hesitated in his tracks, not daring to follow. After a while, he shouted to the bottom of the secret passage, "I am not strong enough, so I will not go down and hinder the immortal masters. I will wait for you up there."

After shouting, he didn't dare to stay in the house, so he gathered all the servants and went to the main hall.

……

The secret passage twisted and turned, it was pitch black without a trace of light. The only sound they could hear was the sound of water dripping onto the ground. The ground the three of them were standing on was also wet and sticky. They could only rely on the feel of their feet to determine that the stairs were getting steeper and steeper.

Leng Zhuxin took out a night pearl from the storage ring to serve as a light. Under the bright light of the night pearl, the entire secret passage appeared in front of the three of them.

There were many insects and ants crawling in the moss-covered secret passage. It became wider as you went down. The walls on both sides were made of bluestone and looked quite old. The steps were also made of bluestone and were a bit slippery. An ordinary person could easily slip and roll down the stairs if they were not careful.

But there was no mechanism in the secret passage. Leng Zhuxin threw a stone and it rolled to the bottom.

Tang Xiuhe was still in front, Leng Zhuxin and Chen Wei were behind, and the three of them walked slowly down in a triangle, tightly grasping the magic swords in their hands.

After walking up all the stone steps, the ground below becomes much more spacious and flat. The sound of dripping water that you heard when you just went down the stairs came from here.

There were cracks on the high stone brick roof, and water dripped from the cracks onto the ground, making the entire secret passage very damp.

The flat secret passage is so long that you can't see the end. You can only see that there seems to be a curve at the front.

The three continued forward, still forming a triangle, ready to face any enemy that might appear in the dark.

They walked like this for a long time, and after passing several bends, they did not see any trace of the demon cultivator, and there were no bones or corpses on the ground.

If they hadn't been able to sense the remaining demonic energy in the secret passage, the three of them would have thought they had found the wrong place.

After walking in the secret passage for half an hour, they finally saw the winding stairs. The stairs here were cleaner than those in the City Lord's Mansion, without so much moss and mud, and there was a faint light at the top.

Leng Zhuxin put away the night pearl and carefully followed Tang Xiuhe, climbing up slowly and cautiously along the wall. A circular light was cast down from the top of the stairs, and from their position, they were facing a curved wall.

Based on the shape of the wall and the light pouring down from above, Leng Zhuxin guessed that the exit should be a dry well.

Tang Xiuhe walked forward slowly, his spiritual power forming a protective shield around him. After he reached the bottom of the dry well and made sure it was safe, he tiptoed out of the well.

The dry well was empty, without any human figure, only wasteland and graves.

"Come up, there is no danger for now."

Tang Xiuhe, holding a sword, looked around cautiously and shouted towards the bottom of the well.

Leng Zhuxin and Chen Wei, who had been waiting at the bottom of the well, finally flew up.

Looking up, there were wild graves everywhere, with withered yellow weeds growing everywhere, clinging to the graves in a swaying wind. In addition to the wild graves, there were many unburied bones, half-hidden in the soil.

It is much clearer here than in the Snowy City with strong winds and heavy snow, but the temperature has not risen.

The high mountains not far away were wearing white hats, reflecting scattered spots of light under the pale sun.

Tang Xiuhe recognized it at a glance. This was the back valley of Xueyin Mountain.

The Snow Hidden Mountain divides the far north into two halves. One half is where the Snow Mist City is located, and it snows for ten months a year. The other half is behind the mountain, and the total number of days it snows is less than one month a year.

But the strange thing is that the half of the mountain where there is no snow is even colder, and nothing can grow there. Even people living behind the mountain often get sick.

Therefore, people from the far north moved to live in front of the mountain, and the area behind the mountain gradually became deserted and turned into a mass grave.

The terrain behind the mountain is flat, and it can be seen that there is no place where people can hide, but there is a cave on Xueyin Mountain.

Tang Xiuhe had rested there ten years ago when he and his master came to kill the monsters and repair the barrier. It was also very close to the sealed barrier, so Tang Xiuhe guessed that the demon cultivator was most likely to have taken the person to that cave.

He followed the route he remembered and flew up with Leng Zhuxin on his sword, while Chen Wei also followed closely behind him on her sword.

The spirit sword turned into a stream of light and quickly carried them to the Snow Hidden Mountain. Because they only remembered the approximate location of the cave, they landed halfway up the mountain.

Relying on the faint demonic energy in the air, he found a stone wall.

The closer they got to the stone wall, the thicker the demonic energy became. This time, without having to look for it, the three of them spotted a protruding stone on the stone wall. Tang Xiuhe flew forward and pressed down hard, causing the stone wall to rumble and retreat to both sides.

Two hidden arrows were fired at the same time, and Leng Zhuxin quickly knocked them away. The scene inside the cave appeared in front of the three people.

There were more than twenty people lying around in the small cave. In addition to Chu He and others who disappeared in the City Lord's Mansion, there were also about ten women.

The women should be the ones who disappeared in Xuewu City, but some of them had gray hair and wrinkles on their faces, and looked to be in their seventies or eighties.

Their eyes were dull, and it was obvious that they were being controlled.

There were two men in black on the stone bed in the center, absorbing the essence of the body. One of them had a wound on his shoulder and was the one who was stabbed by Leng Zhuxin.

The two men in black were surrounded by demonic energy and wore intimidating black masks. It was obvious that they were both cultivators of the devil.

It’s just that the one who was stabbed by Leng Zhuxin was weaker.

The man in black noticed someone breaking in and threw the woman to the ground. "I really underestimated you for finding your way here."

The one who spoke was a strong one. His voice inexplicably made Leng Zhuxin feel familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

She carefully looked at the demon cultivator who spoke, trying to match him with the person in her memory.

"This fairy has been staring at me. Could it be that she's attracted to me? Does she want to be mine like them?"

The demon cultivator smiled obscenely at Leng Zhuxin, and his words made Leng Zhuxin instantly reveal his murderous intent.
