…
After visiting the old man, Zhu Minglang and Wen Lingfei continued to visit the various immortals in the mortal cities.
However, most of these people were already buried. When they asked their families, they did not know the situation either. The clues they could get were very limited.
Day after day, Zhu Minglang and Wen Lingfei visited countless families. However, Evil Immortal Hong Yi was also a cautious person. He rarely left traces of his crimes in the mortal world. Moreover, the lifespan he stole from others was mostly more than 50 years.
Normally, those who traded with him were already around 20 to 30 years old. Those who lost more than 50 years of their lifespan would either die within a year or wither away within a few months. The people they searched for were basically already buried. It was really difficult to get anything out of them.
"It might be difficult to get any more clues from the mortals. We have to look for it from the gods." Zhu Minglang said to Wen Lingfei.
"Yes, this Evil Immortal's methods are too vicious. He shows no mercy to mortals." Wen Lingfei said.
It was very difficult to investigate this matter.
First of all, the cases Zhu Minglang and Wen Lingfei obtained must have already been killed.
Originally, they wanted to find some clues from the relatives of the deceased, but it was clear that when they were doing this business, it was done one-to-one. No one else had seen it. Zhu Minglang suspected that all the transactions were done in a dream.
Secondly, Zhu Minglang could not find those who traded with the Evil Immortal but were still alive …
They were people whose lifespan was damaged. For example, people who sold 20 or 30 years of their lifespan. Even if they aged in a short period of time, in the eyes of others, it was just due to fatigue, setbacks, or mental illness.
Previously, Zhu Minglang estimated that the Evil Immortal would trade once a day.
However, this estimate was not correct.
The Evil Immortal would trade once a day. After taking away all of someone's lifespan, that person would quickly die.
Those who only sold 10, 20, or 30 years of their lifespan were probably not in the minority. However, Zhu Minglang could not find them.
The cases were too thick to be recorded in several books.
However, he could not find any trace of the Evil Immortal.
However, Zhu Minglang wasn't upset because of this.
His opponents were not ordinary people. In any case, he still needed to stay in Yuheng Xian City for a while. He did not believe that these two evil immortal brothers would not give themselves away.
The long night had indeed brought a lot of convenience to some evil immortals who were on the side of the evildoers. More and more powerful people were hunting for him before the eternal night. Although Zhu Minglang could not guarantee that he could annihilate them all, at least he would not easily give up on the evil prey that he had set his eyes on!
Cultivating, investigating, and waiting, unknowingly, half a month had passed. There were not many clues, but their cultivation had improved a lot. The Blue Phoenix Dragon, Blue Phoenix Dragon, and Thunder God Purple Dragon had both advanced a level. The Peach Demon Deer Dragon and Little Golden Dragon had already touched the threshold of the Divine Dragon. After these days of gathering spiritual energy, their growth speed was also very fast.
If nothing unexpected happened, Little Golden Dragon should be entering adulthood soon. When he reached adulthood, his strength would have a big leap, and he should be able to catch up with his big brother and big sister. The Peach Demon Deer Dragon was also not bad. It had been following Little Golden Dragon closely. Although its bloodline was not as strong as Little Golden Dragon's, its cultivation and growth did not fall behind.
At noon, Zhu Minglang planned to continue patrolling the immortal city, but he heard someone outside asking for an audience.
Zhu Minglang was a little puzzled. In this Yuheng Xian City, he did not know many people.
When he arrived at the pear hall, Zhu Minglang saw a man wearing a simple official's robe sitting upright. Zhu Minglang recognized this person at a glance. It was the very wise Undermoon City Official.
"Shangxian." When the official saw Zhu Minglang, he immediately stood up and saluted.
"There's no need to be so polite. Did you find something?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"After you gave me your instructions, this humble one specially asked my colleagues for help. There was a woman who lived on the southern wall of Undermoon City. She once reported to the authorities, saying that she had been cheated of something by a profiteer. However, when they asked her what she had been cheated of, she stammered. In the end, she said that she had been cheated of her youth. My colleague thought that this matter was ridiculous and ridiculous, so he treated it as a case of a woman being cheated of her feelings. He only made a simple statement and did not file a case." The official said seriously. As he spoke, he took out the statement and handed it to Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang flipped through it. The woman's name and address were written on it.
The most important thing was that this had happened not long ago!
"Cheated of her youth …" Zhu Minglang muttered to himself.
Although at first glance, it did sound like a relationship cheat, and a woman meeting a scumbag, no one would report it to the authorities.
"It's worth investigating the situation." Zhu Minglang nodded.
"This humble one can make a trip for you." The official said.
"There's no need. If it was really done by that evil immortal, you might meet with misfortune." Zhu Minglang said.
"Then this humble one can accompany you. That woman's residence is not far from my home." The official said.
"That's fine too." Zhu Minglang nodded.
…
Wen Lingfei had her own divine position, so she temporarily went to deal with other matters. Some underworld demons had appeared near Yuheng Xian City, and she needed to deal with them.
Zhu Minglang just happened to lack someone to discuss with. This official was not bad, and he also knew the whole story.
When they arrived at the southern wall of Undermoon City, Zhu Minglang discovered that this was a sugar town. Most of the people here were sugar merchants and sugar craftsmen.
Sugar haws, sugar paper figurines, sugar sculptures … they could be seen everywhere on the streets. Many elders would even bring their children here. The streets were as lively as a market.
Beside an arch bridge, Zhu Minglang and the official paid a visit to the woman.
The woman's courtyard was filled with all kinds of sugar figurines. They were all exquisitely made.
"I kept forgetting to ask you for your name. How should I address you?" Zhu Minglang asked the official.
"This humble one's surname is Guang, and my given name is Ce." The official said.
"Okay, we'll ask as ordinary officials, so as not to disturb her." Zhu Minglang said.
"Okay."
Guang Ce walked in front. When they entered the courtyard, they quickly saw a woman sitting in front of the door. She was carefully carving a piece of brown sugar.
The woman was so focused that she did not hear anyone enter.
"Excuse me, is your daughter, Zhou Qian here?" The official asked.
"I am Zhou Qian." The woman raised her head. Her crow's feet were very obvious, and her face was a little sallow.
"Ah? But isn't Zhou Qian only twenty … "Before the official could finish his sentence, Zhu Minglang coughed.
Guang Ce immediately realized something and stopped talking.
Zhu Minglang walked forward and sized up this "woman."
Judging from her age, she was at least forty or fifty years old!
Not long ago, when she reported to the authorities, she was clearly twenty-two. A young woman, but she looked like a middle-aged woman … It seemed that he had found the right person this time!
