The sounds of gongs and drums outside the inn were incessant, making it impossible for Ling Cang to fall asleep, so he had to go out for a walk.

Seeing the big red sedan chair parked in the backyard of the inn, Ling Cang could probably guess that the girl might die today.

But so what? What does it have to do with him?

Ling Cang didn't intend to meddle in other people's business. He looked at those people with cold eyes and helped the thin bride covered with a red veil onto the sedan chair. The sedan chair and the wedding procession walked away.

Not long after, the agreed time to leave arrived. Ling Cang opened Yu Nian's door, but saw nothing.

There was still a hint of alcohol in the room. He seemed to have thought of something, his face turned gloomy, and a cold air spread around him.

Damn it... I wasn't paying attention for just one hour and another accident happened!

At this moment, Ling Cang was like a wild beast about to explode. He raised his eyes to look at the tooth marks left on the door, and smashed the wooden door into pieces with one punch.

The waiter who happened to pass by was hit in the face by wood chips, and then he saw Ling Cang's violent and terrifying appearance, and he was so scared that his legs almost went weak.

The sound of a ceramic bowl falling to the ground and breaking reached Ling Cang's ears. He turned his head and looked at the waiter with his blood-red eyes like a beast, and quickly grabbed the waiter's neck.

"Where's the woman with me?"

Feeling the hand like an iron hoop on his neck and the force that could break his neck, the waiter had difficulty breathing and confessed immediately.

The waiter's face turned pale as he stammered, "The Wen... the Wen family is coming to pick up a bride. The boss and Mr. Sun are old friends. To help Mr. Sun save his granddaughter, we tried every possible way, and finally put our hopes on passersby, to see... to see if we could find a female customer to take the blame..."

The waiter hesitated until his tongue was tied. Ling Cang was getting impatient. The blood red in his eyes became much darker. His eyes turned cold and he directly used the evil soul-searching magic he learned in his previous life.

After browsing the waiter's memory, Ling Cang threw the unconscious waiter to the ground.

Yu Nian, Yu Nian, you are a Jindan cultivator, but you failed twice because of the wine, and you were so stupid as to drink something given to you by a stranger?

Those in the Foundation Establishment Stage can already fly with a sword. Ling Cang threw the Frost Profound Sword into the air, stepped on the flying sword and headed towards the direction of the wedding procession.

On the other side, Yu Nian was sitting in the big red sedan, feeling uneasy at all.

Niu Niu is petite and this wedding dress looks quite awkward on her, making her feel tense all over.

Suddenly, something that looked like a dead vine stretched out from under the curtain, slowly wrapped around Yu Nian's feet, and gradually climbed up.

coming!

Yu Nian cheered up, let the thing climb, and waited for the next move.

At this moment, the sedan bearer outside fell to the ground wailing, the sounds of gongs, drums, and music suddenly became chaotic, and the sedan was thrown to the ground. Yu Nian, who was inside the sedan, shook heavily and almost fell out.

Yu Nian listened nervously to the footsteps until the owner of the voice stopped outside the sedan.

Getting closer and closer.

Yu Nian quietly circulated her spiritual power. When the man lifted the door curtain with the hilt of the sword, her spiritual power exploded, and her wedding dress turned into flying pieces of cloth. She broke free from the restraints in an instant and slapped out with a palm.

She held back on this attack, and heard the man groan and fly backward heavily. Then she heard a familiar voice: "...Master!"

and many more!

You hit the wrong person!

Yu Nian pulled aside the door curtain and saw his eldest disciple half lying on the ground with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, slowly lying down.

She hurried over to help the injured Ling Cang up, took out a healing pill from her storage ring and handed it to his mouth, "Take it quickly."

"stop!"

Behind the wedding procession, three people rushed out holding magical weapons and pounced on Yu Nian and the other person.

Yu Nian raised his hand and waved it. A wave of spiritual power swept the three people into the sky and dropped them heavily to the ground, where they rolled around.

One of them was still able to stand up, holding the magic weapon tremblingly, and standing in front of his colleagues with a pale face.

"Senior, you have great cultivation, why are you killing people and causing chaos here?"

"Huh?" Yu Nian looked puzzled and pointed at himself: "Me?"

Several people looked at each other.

After some conversation, they finally understood the whole story. The leader was named Liu An, a disciple of Feixian Pavilion. He traveled here and met the independent cultivators Cai Qi and Wang Yang. He heard about the strange things in Wangxiangyi from them. The three of them took away the reward offered by the Wen Mansion and followed the wedding procession to solve the strange matter of the bride's disappearance.

He happened to meet Yu Nian, who was disguised as a bride, and Ling Cang, who was rescuing his master. He misunderstood that they were the masterminds behind the incident, and started fighting with them.

"Senior Yu, I'm so sorry. We were abrupt."

"It's okay, tell me about Wangxiangyi." The plan was disrupted, and Yu Nian could only rely on them to learn more about the situation.

"Okay, Senior Yu." Liu An nodded repeatedly in response. "Actually, we just arrived not long ago and don't know much. Fellow Daoist Cai is a local of Wangxiangyi, so he must know more."

After saying that, Liu An looked at Cai Qi and made a gesture of invitation, "Fellow Daoist Cai, you should speak first."

Cai Qi nodded. "We in Wangxiang have made our living by dealing in the dead for generations. The family whose bride was kidnapped by a fierce ghost is the richest family in Wangxiang. Their surname is Wen, and they made their fortune selling coffins. The one marrying the bride is their head, Wenbo."

"Wenbo is only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He has a handsome appearance, a gentle and modest temperament, and is kind and generous. He likes to help his neighbors and has always had a good reputation.

He has a wife named Fan Yao, who is his childhood sweetheart. They treat each other with respect after marriage. They are a perfect match with talent and beauty. It is said that Wenbo and his wife have been married for more than three years, but they have no children, not even a daughter.

Fan Yao had fallen seriously ill half a year ago and almost lost her life. She was extremely weak and had no way of getting pregnant or having a child.

Under pressure from his mother, Wenbo had no choice but to take a concubine. However, Wenbo was extremely picky and would not accept women from anywhere else. He only wanted local women. He took several in a row, but they all disappeared on the way to the wedding and were never heard from again. In the end, he never married any of them.

Yu Nian frowned slightly. Since Wen Bo had such a temper, he would not force her into marriage. This seemed strange.

Wang Yang thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Cai, do you think those brides are dead?"

Cai Qi hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's hard to say, but I don't think he's dead."

"Why do you say that?"

"According to the neighbors, it was always Wen Er, the steward of the Wen Mansion, who came to pick up the brides. If there really were evil spirits that ate the brides, or if something else happened, the servants who went to pick up the brides would definitely not be able to escape."

Yu Nian agreed with this statement, "Yes, the bride is missing this time, so it must be caused by something.

Judging from the current situation, the purpose of this thing is to prevent Wenbo from getting married, otherwise it would not kidnap everyone else's marriage and just kidnap the bride of the Wen family.

If you want to prevent Wenbo from getting married, the simplest way is to kill all those who go to welcome the bride, including the bride, to give Wenbo a warning so that he will not dare to think about getting married again, because you can't be sure that he will be the next to die.

However, now only the brides are missing, while all the people who went to welcome them are fine. This shows that this thing is not as vicious as imagined, and may not even want to hurt people at will, so it took a more gentle approach to get rid of the brides and prevent the wedding from happening."

"In that case, it's very likely that thing kidnapped the brides and hid them." Liu An touched his chin and looked at Yu Nian. "Senior Yu, did you discover anything when you were pretending to be a bride?"

Yu Nian thought about it and took out a piece of something.

"This is what I cut off from that monster. The monster emerged from the ground and reached into the sedan chair to drag me away. The bride's disappearance must have been caused by that monster."

At this point, Yu Nian was puzzled. "However, this monster doesn't have any demonic energy. If it hadn't been wrapped around me, I wouldn't have been able to detect its presence."

"Let me see!"

Liu An quickly took the still-moving thing and asked, "What is this?"

"Like some kind of plant vine, or perhaps a tree root?"

Several people looked at the piece of thing and thought for a while, but couldn't come up with any clues, so they had to put it away temporarily.

Liu An looked at Yu Nian and bowed solemnly. "Senior Yu, we accepted the invitation of the Wen Mansion and took the reward to come here to resolve this matter, but the marriage still didn't take place yesterday. I really can't leave this matter unfinished... We are fortunate to meet Senior Yu at this time. We sincerely hope that Senior Yu will lend us a helping hand and help us resolve this matter together!"

Yu Nian had already planned this and was ready to agree immediately, but Ling Cang suddenly spoke up.

"Master, we still have to hurry on our way. Why waste time?"
