After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

The Taoist priest nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's go to the village temple and investigate immediately without further delay."

Everyone looked at their departing backs, praying silently in their hearts that the truth would come to light soon and peace would return to the village.

Along the way, Chifeng, Murong Ling'er and the Taoist priest walked.

Chifeng has a straightforward personality and chats with the Taoist priest from time to time, wanting to know more about the "Yin Ling Gu".

Murong Ling'er remained alert at all times, secretly observing the Taoist priest's every move.

As night fell, they rested in a dilapidated temple.

Murong Ling'er used the excuse of going outside to look for some firewood, but in fact she wanted to explore the surrounding environment. Shortly after she left, Qi Feng suddenly felt dizzy and fell asleep.

When Murong Ling'er came back, she saw Qifeng sleeping on the ground and felt something was wrong. She looked at the Taoist priest and saw a strange smile on his face.

"Master, what's going on?" Murong Ling'er asked vigilantly.

The Taoist priest chuckled and said, "Little girl, stop pretending. You've been suspicious of me for a long time, haven't you?"

Murong Linger snorted coldly: "Sure enough, all this is your conspiracy."

The Taoist priest did not hide his true feelings and laughed wildly, "That's right, I killed the entire Chen family. The so-called 'Yin Ling Gu' was just something I made up to deceive these fools."

Murong Ling'er glared at him: "Why are you so cruel?"

The Taoist priest's face was grim: "I practice evil magic, which requires the lives of 7749 innocent people. This Chen family is just a part of my sacrifice."

Murong Linger gnashed her teeth and said, "You are simply unforgivable."

The Taoist priest said disdainfully, "Heavenly justice? Once I master this peerless evil technique, I will be Heavenly Justice. However, little girl, you are quite clever, but it's a pity that you will die here today."

As he spoke, the Taoist priest waved his whisk and attacked Murong Ling'er.

Murong Ling'er smiled contemptuously and secretly used magic in her hands.

She quickly formed seals with her hands and chanted a mysterious spell. Suddenly, a light blue light emanated from her body, rippling like water waves and instantly enveloping the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest sensed something was wrong, his face suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and he tried to break free from the light. He waved the whisk in his hand and muttered something. A black mist surged out from the whisk and rushed straight towards Murong Ling'er.

Murong Ling'er was not afraid at all. She let out a delicate cry, and the light instantly became stronger, forming a solid barrier that kept the black mist out. The black mist hit the barrier, making a "sizzling" sound, but could not break through.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest put his hands together and chanted the spell faster and faster. The veins on his forehead bulged, and it was obvious that he was using all his strength. The black mist began to condense and turned into a huge black devil's claw, grabbing towards Murong Ling'er fiercely.

Murong Ling'er's eyes focused, and her hands changed the seals again. Lightning flashed faintly in the light. When the black devil's claws approached, lightning suddenly burst out and hit the devil's claws along the light.

For a moment, there were lightning and thunder, and light and darkness intertwined.

With a "crack", the black devil's claws cracked under the bombardment of lightning, and then shattered, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating in the air.

The Taoist priest was hit back, his body trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, but he was still unwilling to give up and tried hard to launch another attack.

How could Murong Ling'er give him a chance? She pushed her hands forward, and light surged towards the Taoist priest like a surging wave.

The Taoist priest was unable to resist at all and was hit hard by the light. He screamed, vomited blood, collapsed to the ground, seriously injured.

After dealing with the Taoist priest, Murong Linger hurried back to the temple and woke up Chifeng.

Chifeng woke up, learned what had happened, and was very grateful to Murong Ling'er.

"The murderer has been caught, let's hurry back to the village!" said Murong Ling'er.

The two men brought the seriously injured Taoist priest back to the village and told the villagers the truth.

The villagers were furious. They rushed forward, tied up the seriously injured Taoist priest, and decided to report him to the police immediately and make his crimes known to the world.

The village chief led some villagers and escorted the Taoist priest to the government office.

In the afternoon, the village chief and his entourage returned with good news. The government had accepted the case and launched an in-depth investigation.

After hearing this, Murong Ling'er and Qi Feng felt relieved. They knew that this incident had finally been resolved satisfactorily.

After that, Chiffon decided to take them out of the village and continue on their journey.

The village chief and the villagers came to see her off. They were full of gratitude and respect for Murong Ling'er.

The village chief respectfully bowed deeply to Murong Ling'er, his face filled with shame. He said sincerely, "My dear lady, I was blind and ignorant before, and I have offended you in many ways. I am truly sorry. Please be magnanimous and forgive me! Moreover, this time, it is all thanks to you! You finally found the real culprit and helped our village solve such a big problem, allowing our village to have peace."

Murong Ling'er quickly said, "There's no need to be like this, Village Chief. This is purely a coincidence! There are many variables involved, and it's not your fault."

The village chief nodded slightly and continued, "However, I still have a doubt in my heart. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not. I hope the young lady can explain it to me."

Murong Ling'er smiled and replied, "Village Chief, if you have any confusion, please feel free to tell me. As long as I know the answer, I will definitely help you solve it."

At this moment, the atmosphere around them seemed somewhat solemn. Everyone was waiting for the village chief to express his doubts, and they were also curious about how Murong Ling'er would answer. The village chief hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Young lady, how did you know that there was something wrong with that Taoist priest?"

Murong Ling'er smiled and explained, "It's actually not that difficult. I just observed a few details. Although the Taoist priest kept saying he was trying to exorcise demons, his behavior was a little strange. Also, I found the way he handled the corpse to be very unusual, which aroused my suspicion. After some probing and reasoning, it wasn't difficult to find his flaws."

In fact, she discovered that the Taoist priest was an evil cultivator, but she couldn't tell this to the villagers, so she could only give a perfunctory account of the situation.

After hearing this, the villagers suddenly understood and were amazed at Murong Ling'er's intelligence.

Afterwards, the villagers enthusiastically gave Murong Ling'er many mountain products and food to express their gratitude.

Then, an old woman walked up to Qi Feng, handed him a package with both hands, and said respectfully, "Master Qi, thank you for your hard work last night."

Chifeng did not refuse. He first glanced at Murong Ling'er, then nodded and accepted the package.

Murong Ling'er looked at the dozen or so packages sent by the villagers, pondered for a moment, then walked straight to Qi Feng and said with a firm look, "Captain Qi, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I will accept this kindness! But with so many things, I really feel embarrassed to keep them all to myself. You all waited in fear last night, so I will borrow flowers from the Buddha and share these packages with everyone as a small compensation."

When Chifeng heard this, an expression of surprise appeared on his face. He thought for a while, then suddenly stood up, picked up the gong in his hand, and struck it hard.

He cleared his throat and spoke loudly, "Everyone, listen to me. I believe you have all seen what happened last night. A murder occurred in Shuiliwei Village. The villagers initially suspected that it was done by you criminals, but after Miss Murong's efforts last night, the real murderer was found."

"Miss Murong not only solved a problem for the village, but also cleared you of suspicion. Now that the villagers have sent these things, Miss Murong is thinking of sharing them with everyone. This kind of thought is rare!"

At this time, a low murmur sounded among the crowd, and everyone looked at Murong Ling'er with a little more admiration and gratitude in their eyes.

Faced with everyone's gratitude, Murong Ling'er felt quite calm.

The reason she did this was to take this opportunity to add some warmth and enhance mutual assistance to everyone during this difficult journey.

Besides, she had so many things that adding more of them would just be a burden.
