Chapter 218 Publication
"Yes." Huangfu Ruixiang didn't want to say more, "It's all arranged by the family."
Although he had a vague guess in his heart, in this case, he would not tell Zhong Yating. Although he knew that Zhong Yating had a crush on him. However, it was obvious that Zhong Yating was not the one he would have his eye on.
Moreover, if his guess is correct, then Zhong Yating is not worthy of him at all. Even if his guess was wrong, now that he has entered the inner sect, Zhong Yating, an outer disciple, is not worthy of him.
"Ruixiang, what's wrong with you?" Zhong Yating was no fool, so she naturally felt Huangfu Ruixiang's indifference. She reached out her hand to pull him, but was dodged.
Huangfu Ruixiang dodged Zhong Yating's touch, frowned, and said, "It's nothing, I have something else to do, so I'll go first."
After finishing speaking, she ignored Zhong Yating and turned around to leave.
Looking at the back of Huangfu Ruixiang leaving without hesitation, a trace of sadness flashed in Zhong Yating's eyes. She knew very well that Huangfu Ruixiang's attitude was rejecting her. However, before, Huangfu Ruixiang obviously enjoyed such ambiguity, why did he suddenly change in such a short period of time!
However, although Huangfu Ruixiang's attitude made her very sad, if she was asked to give up like this, she would really not be reconciled. Especially now that Huangfu Ruixiang directly entered the inner sect under such circumstances, she would never believe that he had nothing to do with the family.
As long as she can catch Huangfu Ruixiang, then she will have a chance to enter the inner door. Otherwise, with her cultivation talent, at most one or two hundred years later, she will definitely reach the bottleneck period.
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an flew directly with the sword, and soon came to a very remote mountain village in the hidden world.
Actually, in the hidden world, not all are practitioners, there are still some ordinary people. However, these ordinary people usually live in these small mountain villages. However, unlike the ordinary world, even ordinary people living here in the hidden world can definitely easily live to be more than a hundred years old. After all, the aura in the hidden world is more abundant than in the ordinary world, so people's lifespan will also be extended.
However, some people will choose to leave the hidden world and live in the ordinary world. Because, those who cannot cultivate, their status in the hidden world is really too low. Moreover, if you accidentally offend some practitioners, you may lose your life because of it. It's just that those ordinary people who can't cultivate, once they leave the hidden world, they can never return to the ordinary world.
"Master, Miss Ye." Seeing both of them coming, Li San hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his head respectfully, and said hello.
Ye Leng'an looked at Li San in front of him, really surprised. Because Li San was wearing a black robe at the moment, with an iron mask on his face, which completely covered his entire face. If the other party hadn't spoken, she really wouldn't have recognized it.
Seemingly seeing Ye Lengan's doubts, Huangfu Ruiling on the side explained, "Now Li San is the law enforcement envoy of the law enforcement team, so that's why he is dressed like this. All the law enforcement envoys in the law enforcement team are dressed like this."
After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's explanation, Ye Leng'an couldn't help complaining, "Whose aesthetics! Then can you still recognize who is from whom?"
Huangfu Ruiling touched his nose, embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Amused flashed in Li San's eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything, he could only lower his head to hide his true emotions.
However, Ye Leng'an just complained, and didn't really intend to continue asking, so he asked immediately, "What's going on?"
Speaking of business, Li San immediately became serious, and he replied, "Actually, after returning from southern Xinjiang, the master ordered us to investigate the matter of the evil cultivator and the sacrifice. However, there has been no progress."
"Until a while ago, we came to this small village when we were investigating another case. Just today, one of our colleagues found a very strange place in the grove here, with very strange patterns painted on it. He didn't think it was right, so he reported it immediately."
"I came over to take a look, and found that it had the same pattern as the sacrificial altar in southern Xinjiang. So, I immediately notified the master."
Ye Leng'an nodded.
Huangfu Ruiling directly opened his mouth and ordered, "Let's go over and have a look at that platform now!"
This platform is in a wood not far from the small village. But while the grove is close to the village, things are off the beaten track. Because this grove is so dense, there are even some small poisonous insects in the grove. Although it is not fatal to be bitten, it will still be uncomfortable for a while. Moreover, the most important thing is that this grove is too ordinary, and there are no valuable medicinal materials or spiritual plants in it, so it is not worth entering.
Ye Leng'an approached the table, and also saw the pattern on it, which was indeed the same as the one on the sacrificial altar seen in Southern Xinjiang. Moreover, on the sacrificial altar, there were still many dark red bloodstains. As for what kind of bloodstains it is, we have to investigate clearly to find out.
After taking a look at the surrounding environment, Ye Leng'an couldn't help but click his tongue twice, "The person who set up this platform must be very aware of the surrounding environment. Although this place is very close to the village, no one will come in."
"This table should have been abandoned for a while." Huangfu Ruiling stepped forward, took a look, frowned, and said, "Look at the dark red blood, it should have been a long time ago."
"I just don't know whether the person who used the forbidden technique to cultivate moved his place, or did the altar go unused for other reasons." Ye Leng'an frowned, "Ling, tell me, is the person who set up the altar the one who used the forbidden technique to cultivate, or was he deceived like Duoji?"
Huangfu Ruiling shook his head, "However, seeing how dark the blood stain is, the number of lives buried under this sacrificial altar should be quite a lot."
"Ling, tell me, last time we broke down the altar of Dorji, will there be any problems with the people behind it?" Ye Leng'an thought for a while, and then said, "And here, did that person temporarily hibernate because of our actions and abandon this place?"
"No matter what the reason is, that person who practices forbidden arts will definitely not give up easily," Huangfu Ruiling's eyes flashed a faint light, "The speed of using forbidden arts to cultivate is indeed very fast, but the reason why forbidden arts become forbidden arts is that apart from harming the world, the side effects are also very large."
"Once you practice this kind of forbidden technique, you probably won't be able to stop it!" Ye Leng'an couldn't help but sighed, "Cultivation is something that goes against the sky. If you still use this method, even if you make great progress in your cultivation, you will definitely be punished by heaven."
Huangfu Ruiling nodded, "It seems that the evil cultivator behind this is not only using people like Duoji on the other side of the world, but also not idle on the side of the hidden world."
"Do people in the Hidden World know about this?" Ye Leng'an asked, "Looking at the current situation, that evil cultivator has not been idle in the Hidden World. I think the people who were killed here are probably all cultivators!"
Compared with the blood of the most yin in the mortal world, using the blood of a practitioner may be more effective! However, it is also more difficult.
After pondering for a while, Huangfu Ruiling looked at Li San, and ordered, "Publish the evil cultivator, and let those people be more vigilant. No matter whether the evil cultivator is temporarily withdrawn or not, it is always a good thing to be vigilant."
Li San replied respectfully, "This subordinate will do it right away."
After finishing speaking, he retreated.
Ye Leng'an glanced at the shocking dark red color on the table, and couldn't help but shook his head, "I don't know how many practitioners have fallen here."
Huangfu Ruiling's eyes flashed a glimmer of darkness, "Most of the practitioners here should be casual practitioners. After all, if someone in a big family goes missing, the family will definitely send someone to look for it."
Ye Leng'an sighed helplessly, and then said, "Let's check first to see if we can find any clues from above!"
Huangfu Ruiling nodded.
Soon, the two began to inspect the table carefully, but in the end, they found nothing.
"Oh—" Ye Leng'an couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "That evil cultivator was too cautious, and didn't leave any trace at all."
"As long as he did it, there won't be any traces," Huangfu Ruiling patted Ye Leng'an on the shoulder, and said, "Also, the law enforcement team is still investigating this matter, and we will definitely find the mastermind behind it."
Ye Leng'an nodded, "After this matter is announced, the man behind the scenes should also be vigilant, and it will be even more difficult to find."
However, if it is not announced, it is unknown how many people will be victimized. Therefore, it would be better to announce the lesser of two evils. At least those people have a heart of vigilance, and that evil cultivator will be more scrupulous and dare not make a move easily.
Huangfu Ruiling shook his head, and said, "It's okay, even if that evil cultivator stops temporarily, he won't be able to stop for a long time. Using forbidden techniques to cultivate, once he stops, his cultivation will regress quickly, and he can't hold back for too long. As long as he makes a move, we will definitely be able to catch him."
