Crazy! The cold master fell in love with me, she ran away from him

After the city lord finished speaking, he almost collapsed to the ground as if he could not bear it anymore.

The housekeeper hurriedly helped the city lord up, took out the medicine and fed it to him.

After a while, the city lord slowly woke up and said excitedly

"Please save us, if this continues, everyone in Yaocheng will die."

Xu Zhiyuan soothed him, "City Lord, don't worry, there will definitely be a solution."

Yue Jian thought for a while and asked

"Only men have been killed so far. No women have been killed yet, right?"

The butler nodded when he heard this.

Bai Ji and the others looked at each other and said

"Have the men who were killed been buried?"

The city lord said, "The first group of people who died have been buried. As for those who were found to have problems later, I have ordered that they cannot be buried for the time being."

"Where are the bodies now?"

"In the government office in the city"

The city lord looked at the sky, which had already darkened, and said

"It's getting late today, so why don't you all stay here and go to the government office tomorrow?"

Bai Ji thought about the current situation in Yaocheng and felt that it was unrealistic to move out, so he nodded in agreement.

The housekeeper led a group of people to the backyard and said

"All the empty houses here are habitable. Everyone, please have a good rest. I will be leaving now."

Xu Zhiyuan asked Li Nian and others to choose a house to live in, and also told them not to act on their own if they encountered any emergency.

Li Nian naturally lived in the same room with Jiang Yuxia. After entering the room, Li Nian sat on a chair.

Just like a magic trick, he pulled out all kinds of candied fruits, cakes...

Jiang Yuxia: “!!!”

Jiang Yuxia asked sincerely, "Are you here for vacation?"

"Of course not, it's just that this time my senior brother asked us to take the fasting pills, but I didn't want them, so I secretly went down the mountain to buy food!"

Jiang Yuxia: “!!!”

Why did she go down the mountain as if it were a game!

While he was speaking, Li Nian had already started fighting. Jiang Yuxia didn't have time to be surprised and joined the battle.

After a while, the two men touched their stomachs and sighed comfortably.

"Niannian, why do you think people here would die? Could there really be ghosts?"

Li Nian thought about what happened here in his previous life and nodded.

Jiang Yuxia looked at Li Nian, her eyes gradually becoming terrified. She asked again uncertainly, looking around the room, and even put her feet on the chair!

"Is there really a ghost?"

Li Nian: “…”

"It's actually not that bad. Remember, don't be alone here. Follow your brothers."

Jiang Yuxia nodded heavily. She didn't want to be caught by the ghost!

Even when sleeping at night, he curled up in the quilt, not even a hair was left behind.

If she hides under the quilt, you won’t be able to catch her!

Li Nian looked at her helplessly. In fact, she was also afraid, but she knew that nothing would happen tonight. Besides, she had set up a barrier, so she would know no matter who entered the room.

"Your birthday seems to be coming soon. Is there anything you want?" Li Nian asked

"It seems like he's yelling, just buy me whatever you want, we've been here for so long!" Jiang Yuxia sighed.

Thirteen years...

Are mom and dad okay?!

The two people thought of the same thing at the same time and fell asleep with heavy thoughts.

……

A restless night!

The next day, Li Nian and others rushed to the government office, where a whole area was specially set aside to store the corpses.

The white cloth was lifted, revealing a male corpse.

Some of the bodies have not yet begun to rot, and those that have been left for too long already have a faint stench.

When Chu Xu saw this, she immediately hid behind Yue Ze and Yue Bei, took out a handkerchief to cover her nose, and was unwilling to go forward.

Li Nian walked forward to observe and also introduced a little spiritual power to explore. He found that the souls of the people here were gone, just like in his previous life.

Yue Jian looked at the people from Yanzhou and asked

"Did you see anything?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Ze and Yue Bei smiled foolishly and shook their heads.

Ye Zhanying said, "These people did not suffer any external injuries before they died."

Bai Ji nodded, and then heard Yanzhou add

"But what terrible things must have happened to them before they died? They might have seen something!"

Xu Zhiyuan nodded, then turned around and looked at Li Nian expectantly.

Li Nian hesitated for a moment and then said, "Brother, their souls seem to have been torn away alive."

Yanzhou's deep eyes suddenly looked at Li Nian, somewhat puzzled.

Bai Ji looked at his junior sister's smart brain, and his hands suddenly itched again. It was another day when he wanted to touch her head.

It’s a pity to think that this hand has touched the corpse!

Yue Jian and the others nodded, confirming Li Nian's statement!

It is true that these people had their souls stripped away from them while they were still alive. The souls of mortals will not leave the body, and if they are forcibly stripped away, they will surely die.

Now that the cause of death of the people in the city has been determined, the only thing left to speculate is who did it.

Li Nian knew it, but didn't intend to say it. After all, he was just a small cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and he knew it but couldn't explain it to others.

This is Chu Xu coming out from behind Yue Ze and saying

"Brothers and sisters, since it's targeting souls, could it be a vengeful spirit? I've heard from monks in the palace that some vengeful spirits feed on souls."

When Li Nian heard this, he sneered in his heart. He was the cultivator in the Spirit Severing stage who obeyed Chu Xu's orders.

Bai Ji and others thought about it and agreed that it was indeed the case, but it had not been confirmed yet, so they asked them what they thought.

"Why don't we split up into several groups and go to the victim's home to see if there are any clues?" Ye Zhanying suggested.

This trip was meant to give them a chance to gain experience, so Xu Zhiyuan nodded in agreement and ordered his troops to split into two groups, with four people in each group, to go and investigate.

Li Nian quickly took Qi An and Jiang Yuxia into a group, and then went to the Li family in the city with Yanzhou, who was the last one left alone.

Chu Xu stared at Li Nian's back intently. Soul beads, storage rings, these were rare treasures, why were they hers...

When he arrived at Manager Li's house, Qi An went up and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.

Just when everyone thought no one was around, the door opened slightly, and the middle-aged woman asked cautiously:

"Who are you and what's going on?"

Jiang Yuxia smiled gently and said, "Sister, we are disciples of the Tianyan Sect. We are here at the invitation of City Lord Yao to help you find the murderer."

The woman looked them up and down suspiciously, then opened the door after a while. After they came in, she quickly closed the door again.

Li Nian looked around the dim room. There seemed to be a half-grown child sitting in the corner, looking at them with eyes wide open. For some reason, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"What do you want to ask? Tell me quickly."

The woman spoke coldly. She should have said that her husband died in an accident, but there was no grief on her face.

Qi An asked, "Sister, your husband died one night. Were you by his side at the time?"

"No, I was in the kitchen cooking. When the meal was ready, I went to the house to call him to eat, and found that he was dead."

"Did you hear any noise at that time?" Yanzhou said, glancing at the woman inconspicuously.

“No, everything is the same as usual.”

After observing the surroundings, Li Nian looked at the woman who had remained calm and asked, "Did Shopkeeper Li have any grudges with anyone during this period?"

This question was a bit strange, and the woman just looked at Li Nian and said

“I’m at home all day and don’t know these things.”

"Then can we go and see the room where the incident happened?" Li Nian asked again
