Shen Luo nodded slightly at Granny Ma and quickened his pace to walk over.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for killing those demonic beasts. I was disrespectful to you before, so I hope you can forgive me." Granny Ma suddenly bowed to Shen Luo and said.
"Granny, you don't have to be like this. I am now a member of the Village of Longevity. Killing demons and protecting the village is a matter of course." Shen Luo was stunned. He was a little surprised by the change in Granny Ma's attitude. He stopped and bowed.
"Shen Daoyou was able to break through the bottleneck of the Fasting Period in just half a month. This talent is really rare." Granny Ma said with a rare smile.
"Granny, you flatter me. Shen Luo doesn't dare to say that he is talented." Shen Luo said respectfully.
"Granny Ma, Brother Shen!" At this time, Ying Luo's voice came from behind. He quickly caught up, glanced at Shen Luo, and bowed to Granny Ma with a slightly nervous expression.
"Ying Luo, you don't have to worry. I am not old and confused. I was just thanking Shen Daoyou for saving the village." Granny Ma said calmly.
Ying Luo heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to say something.
"Granny Ma, Immortal Master Ying, Immortal Master Shen!" At this moment, a voice came from the front.
The three of them looked up and saw a middle-aged woman running over with a face full of anxiety.
"Aunt Lan, what happened?" Ying Luo hurriedly greeted her.
"Not good, Immortal Master Ying, Immortal Master Shen, quickly … Little Fish was taken away by a demon!" The middle-aged woman said breathlessly.
"Little Fish!" Shen Luo suddenly raised his head.
"Where did the demon come from? Where was he caught? "Ying Luo's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, Granny Ma asked first.
"At … at Immortal Master Shen's residence." Aunt Lan glanced at Shen Luo and said after stuttering for a while.
Shen Luo's eyes narrowed. Then, his silhouette shot forward, and disappeared in front of him.
"Aunt Lan, take care of Granny Ma." Ying Luo instructed the woman and immediately used her movement technique to chase after Shen Luo.
Shen Luo pushed his Chasing Wind Steps to the limit and quickly arrived at his courtyard.
At this moment, Ling 'er was standing outside the courtyard. Her face was pale and her body was trembling. She was tightly hugging a village woman in her thirties.
The gray-clothed woman squatted down and pulled Ling 'er into her arms. She kept comforting her.
"Immortal Master Shen Luo!" Shen Luo's sudden appearance startled the gray-clothed woman. After seeing him clearly, she hurriedly greeted him.
"Did you see how Xiao Yu was taken away?" Shen Luo waved his hand and asked.
The gray-clothed woman was very respectful of Shen Luo. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. She said in a low voice, "I just came here. I don't know what happened. I only heard Aunt Lan say that Xiao Yu was taken away by a demon. She asked me to look after Ling 'er and went to the entrance of the village."
Shen Luo nodded. He glanced at Ling 'er and then looked into the courtyard. However, he didn't rush in.
Everything in the courtyard was normal. There were no traces of damage on the ground, doors, and windows. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Ling 'er, don't be afraid. Tell Brother Immortal Master, what happened to your Brother Xiao Yu?" He walked in front of Ling' er and asked gently.
Ling 'er was very scared at this moment. She buried her head in the gray-clothed woman's arms and didn't dare to raise her head. She didn't respond to Shen Luo's question.
Shen Luo frowned. He bent his finger and poked Ling 'er's back and head a few times. He also sent a trace of his spiritual energy into her heart.
Ling 'er's body stopped trembling. She raised her head. Her little face was flushed red and she seemed to have calmed down a lot.
"Ling 'er, be good. Tell me, what did you see just now? I can only save your Brother Xiao Yu if you tell me, "Shen Luo said gently.
When Ling 'er heard that he was going to save Xiao Yu, her spirit was lifted. After thinking for a while, she said, "Brother Immortal Master, after you left, we hid in the house. After a while, there was a rustling sound outside. It was getting louder and louder. Then … then the surroundings suddenly became very cold …"
Speaking of this, Ling 'er's body trembled again. She hugged her arms with her hands.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here. What happened after that? "Shen Luo stroked Ling 'er's head and sent a trace of his spiritual energy into her.
"I was very scared. Brother Xiao Yu told me to hide under the bed. He said he would protect me. He went out to take a look. As soon as he came out of the house, he screamed. Then, there was no more sound." Ling 'er's spirit was lifted.
"Then how did you come out?" Shen Luo asked.
"I was so scared that I screamed. At this time, Aunt Lan came in and took me outside." Ling 'er looked at the open courtyard door with lingering fear and said.
"You guys stay outside. Don't come in." Shen Luo stood up and said to the gray-clothed woman.
The gray-clothed woman hurriedly agreed and took Ling 'er further away.
Shen Luo walked into the courtyard. He secretly circulated his spiritual energy to guard against any danger that might appear at any time. At the same time, he carefully sensed the surrounding situation. His eyes narrowed.
He didn't sense it clearly when he was outside. Now that he entered the courtyard, he immediately sensed a very faint demonic aura and a fishy smell. It was definitely not the smell of a human cultivator.
Shen Luo quickly searched all over the courtyard. He didn't find any traces of the demon hiding. It was clear that it had already left.
However, the strange thing was that the fishy smell only floated in the courtyard. There were no traces of it escaping outside.
"Strange. Could it be that the demon disappeared into thin air after taking Xiao Yu?" He was puzzled.
At this moment, the sound of clothes fluttering in the wind came from outside. It was Ying Luo.
"Shen Daoyou, did you find anything?" She asked as she stepped into the courtyard.
"Not yet. There is indeed some demonic aura here. However, the demon took Xiao Yu and left. I don't know where it went." Shen Luo shook his head and said with a frown.
"Could it have flown away?" Ying Luo was a bit surprised. After thinking for a moment, she said this.
"It shouldn't be. The fishy smell of the demon only floated in the courtyard. If it flew away, it must have left behind some traces." Shen Luo shook his head.
"Fishy smell? Is there? Why didn't I smell it? "Ying Luo wrinkled her nose. She looked around and said strangely.
"Don't worry, I won't make a mistake." Shen Luo said and fell into deep thought again.
This fishy smell was very faint. He had broken through the fasting period and his five senses had improved. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to smell it. However, where did the demon go?
Suddenly, a burst of chaotic footsteps came from outside the courtyard. It was Granny Ma and Aunt Lan who had arrived. Behind the two of them, there was a lot of noise. There were also many villagers who came after hearing the news.
Granny Ma entered the courtyard with the help of Aunt Lan. The villagers tacitly didn't follow them in. Instead, they surrounded the courtyard.
"The two of you, have you found any clues about the demon?" Granny Ma asked Shen Luo and Ying Ruo while panting.
"Granny Ma, there are no clues at the moment. However, don't worry. We are thinking of a way." Ying Luo took a few steps forward and held Granny Ma's other arm to comfort her.
"This must be Aunt Lan. I heard from Ling Er that you came immediately after Xiao Yu was taken away. Did you see any traces of the demon?" Shen Luo looked at Aunt Lan and asked.
