"Cough, cough, damn it! Who did this? If I find out, I'll skin him alive! "
The seductive woman was in a sorry state, but her eyes were filled with viciousness and resentment.
One should know that blood flowers were not easy to grow.
This time, it took the lives of an entire city's worth of people to catalyze its fruit.
She could have gotten what she wanted when her master got it.
Who knew that it would be burned!
The man in red maintained his posture, but he was holding a pointy, shuttle-shaped seed in his hand.
Bright red blood trickled down from his palm drop by drop.
But he did not care at all. His gaze was fixed on the seed, and his expression was strangely gentle.
The two of them rushed out of the fire.
The woman pouted, and then acted coquettishly to the man.
"Master, you should go back first. I still have to find the person who spoiled my fun! I'm going to die if I don't vent my anger. "
The man didn't even look at her and walked away.
The rest of the charming women were filled with jealousy.
"I really don't know who else is in your heart other than that person!"
But she was different from that idiot Sheng Wuyou.
She had been by her master's side for ten years, and she knew that they were just shadows that her master used to find that person.
Since they were shadows, they should not have any unnecessary thoughts.
Moreover, she still had things to do.
The seductive woman curled her lips and sneered at the fire.
"I'd like to see who dares to ruin my fun!"
The raging fire almost burned down the entire Sheng family's residence.
Just as she had expected, some of the lucky ones who were not eaten by the ghost vines also took the opportunity to escape after the fire.
The fire seemed to have destroyed many things, but it left an indelible shadow in the hearts of those who had experienced it.
From that day onwards, they lost their families, their homes, and their hope to live.
But those who had experienced despair, without exception, chose to linger on with their last breaths.
But some of them chose to fall, while others chose to do the same as the father and daughter of the grocery store owner.
They wandered their entire lives just to find the ghost vine that brought disaster.
Gradually, they spontaneously became a small force.
Who would have thought that, twenty years later, this small force that had sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain would become one of the most prominent forces on this continent?
Now, after Lin Mengya brought back the news that the Ghost Vine was burned, Long Tianhao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be good if that thing could be eliminated.
However, he was worried that the people who cultivated the Ghost Vines had other motives.
He promptly sent people to investigate the situation around the Sheng family's city.
Who knew that after the first night, two people would mysteriously disappear.
When the fire was completely extinguished, their men found two charred corpses at the southwest corner of the city gate.
If not for the two unique weapons of Long Tianhao's men found beside their bodies, no one would be able to identify them.
In this regard, Long Tianhao had to be more cautious.
He knew very well that without special circumstances, his subordinates would never act on their own.
Moreover, the two of them had died together.
If they really encountered a troublesome enemy, if they couldn't resist, they would choose to fight one for one and let the other one go.
The man fled back to report the news.
Unless, the enemy they encountered was very powerful.
The enemy was so powerful that they couldn't escape even if they fought together.
But was there really such a powerful master in Sheng Family City?
Long Tianhao had a skeptical attitude towards this.
This time, he insisted on going into the city with Lin Mengya to investigate the situation. He also wanted to find out the truth.
In the ruins burned by the fire, a black line of coke almost stretched across the entire Sheng Family City.
That was what the Ghost Vine looked like after it was completely burned.
Even so, it was enough to amaze people.
"Such a thick vine, what on earth did it eat to grow up?"
Li Ao sighed.
Qinghu, who had been following Lin Mengya closely, glanced at him and said leisurely.
"It ate people."
Li Ao was stunned, and then his face immediately darkened.
This time, in addition to himself, he also brought a dozen people from aristocratic families who were on good terms with the Li Family.
They all escaped the disaster because they didn't attend the wedding of the Sheng Family.
Originally, when Li Ao personally went to persuade them, these people thought that he was hysterical.
But seeing his serious attitude, coupled with the good reputation of the Li Family, they still sent people doubtfully.
Now, seeing that the Sheng Family City had become an empty city, they couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Even the Sheng Family was in such a state, if they …
They secretly exchanged a few glances, this group of people made up their minds to go back and report the truth to their respective masters.
It was better to take precautions early.
Following the vines, they came to the Sheng Mansion.
The glory of the past had grown yesterday, leaving only a dilapidated mansion.
The vines extended from here, almost blocking the entire gate.
After Lin Mengya was sure that the Ghost Vine at the gate had lost its vitality, her people began to clean it up.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw the withered vines all over the ground.
The big rose-like flowers had withered, as if they were going to turn into powder in the next moment.
Facing such a scene, her heart couldn't help but sink.
It seemed that although the main vine had been ignited, it was not completely destroyed.
"Everyone, be careful, the Ghost Vine may still be alive!"
With her warning, everyone couldn't help but tense up.
Even the timid ones had already started to beat the drums of retreat.
Who knew whether the Ghost Vine would suddenly appear and bite them?
In the end, apart from Long Tianhao, Qinghu, and their guards, only Li Ao and three young people followed her into the depths of the Sheng Mansion.
These three people were bold but careful, and their curiosity overwhelmed their fear.
Moreover, seeing that Lin Mengya was not afraid of a woman, they were even more proud and unwilling to be left behind.
They went all the way to the underground secret chamber of the Sheng Mansion.
Lin Mengya carefully looked at the ground, and after making sure that the main vine was growing from here, she asked them to start digging along the main vine.
Suddenly, a very subtle sound of footsteps alarmed her.
Her eyes were cold, and she stared at the direction of the sound warily.
"Who's there? Come out! "
Except for the two masters, Long Tianhao and Qinghu, no one else heard the sound.
Just when they thought that she was overly sensitive, they saw a slender figure walking in from the other end of the courtyard.
"Don't, don't kill me!"
That sound.
Her voice was soft, and she looked so weak and pitiful. As soon as she appeared, it aroused the desire of some men to protect her.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes, but she did not let her guard down.
"Who are you? Why are you here? "
The girl in front of her suddenly burst into tears, and she explained with a sob, "I'm Qingping, a servant of the Sheng Family. I made a mistake and was locked in the backyard, so I escaped."
She raised her head and looked at them with a frightened face.
"Young Masters, I wonder if you can tell this servant what is going on? Where are Master and Madam? "
Hearing that it was a servant of the Sheng Family, the three young people were the first to relax.
In an aristocratic family like theirs, a servant was the lowest existence.
Now that the Sheng Family was gone, a servant was the most helpless one.
At that moment, they felt a sense of pity for the weak.
"It's nothing. Your elder brought this upon himself. It's not safe now. You'd better get out of the city quickly. "
The woman's face was filled with astonishment when she heard this.
Then, she burst into tears, and cried miserably.
"What should we do? I've been sold to the Sheng Family since I was young, and I know nothing except serving people. Now that Master and Madam are gone, I'd rather die! "
Saying that, she was about to bang her head against the wall.
The three young people had never seen such a scene before, so they immediately stopped her and tried to talk her out of it.
The girl was coaxed by their words, and only then did she temporarily calm down.
But Lin Mengya and the other two did not say a word.
The girl seemed to be afraid of them, and quietly hid behind the three young people.
Lin Mengya felt that this servant was a little strange, but she did not think much about it.
After all, the Sheng Family was so big, and it was not strange to have one or two survivors.
Soon, the people who were digging out the main vine went into the secret room.
After moving the stone away, they found Elder Cheng, who had completely grown with the ghost vine.
He could no longer be called a human now.
"Ah! It's so scary! "
Qing Ping let out a cry of surprise and actually fell limply into the arms of one of the men.
The man was at a loss, but he could not just throw her on the ground, so he could only carry her.
Lin Mengya glanced at them, and then turned her eyes to Elder Cheng's body.
"He's hopeless."
Li Ao checked and shook his head at her.
Elder Cheng's eyes were out of the vine, and now he was like a part of the root of the ghost vine.
"He asked for it, and he can't blame others."
Lin Mengya was objectively judging the facts, but Qingping, who had just woken up, suddenly rushed to Lin Mengya, crying.
"Miss, please save my master!"
Lin Mengya took a step back, and frowned slightly.
"I can't save him, and he has grown with the ghost vine. He's hopeless."
But Qingping said with tears in her eyes, "Miss, you must have a way! Moreover, didn't you come here to save him? Now that you see my master suffering, how can you not save him? "
Her words were a little unreasonable.
Lin Mengya explained to her patiently, "It's not that I don't want to save him, but I really can't."
"If you don't want to save him, why are you here?"
Qingping asked with a puzzled look, "Could it be that you are here for the Sheng Family's treasures, just like the others?"
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the three people changed slightly.
