"Illusory spell?" Wei Ming sneered. "You need to use an illusory spell to kill a servant?"
Fang Ye hurriedly said, "My lord, although Yin Mountain is at the edge of our village, the immortal herbs here are very important. If these servants warn us, we will come quickly!"
"Oh?" Wei Ming glanced at Fang Ye, turned around, and walked to a male corpse. He asked, "So many servants died in Yin Mountain?"
Fang Ye was stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He asked curiously, "Why do you say so, my lord?"
"That's what you said!" Wei Ming pointed with his index finger. As he checked the corpses, he said calmly, "Since they used an illusory spell to kill these servants and didn't want the people of Zi Ya Village to know, their purpose was to kill more servants, right?"
"Lord Wei …" Wu Zhengxiao opened his mouth and asked, "Why didn't their purpose be something else? For example, they wanted to rob some treasures in Yin Mountain? "
Unfortunately, Wei Ming just glanced at him and didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Fang Ye and waited for his answer.
Fang Zheng sighed and said, "Lord Wei is really observant. Many servants did die in Yin Mountain."
"How many?" Wei Ming didn't stop to get to the bottom of it.
As a result, Fang Zheng hesitated. He and Fang Ye looked at each other, then clenched their teeth and replied, "About 2,000 …"
"Si …" Xiao Hua sucked in a breath of cold air. That's two thousand lives!
"Oh, my lord …" Fang Zheng hurriedly explained, "These 2,000 servants didn't die at the same time. They died … several generations ago."
"That's not a small number!" Wei Ming wasn't as surprised as Xiao Hua. He nodded lightly, put down the corpses, and asked, "What about the corpses?"
Fang Ye rushed to say, "The Village Master was afraid of causing a disturbance, so he dealt with them!"
"Well …" Wei Ming replied again and said, "Deal with them too! Take me to that fire spell! "
Zhao Xing was surprised and asked, "Oh? My lord, you don't want to go to other places? "
"No need!" Wei Ming rushed into the air and replied, "The murderer could easily kill strong men and Mortal Fairies. How could these servants resist? It's just fish meat. Just one or two will do! "
From the moment they arrived at Qun Yin Mountain, Wei Ming had been the one leading the discussion. Not to mention Xiao Hua and the others, even Zhao Xing basically kept his mouth shut. At this time, Wei Ming suddenly interrupted. Although the others were surprised, they did not say anything. Fang Zheng hurriedly flew into the air and said with a smile, "Sir, please follow me …"
Looking at the immortals flying away one by one, throwing away the corpses of the odd-job workers like weeds, Xiao Hua's heart moved. His consciousness entered the house and stored the corpse of a young man into the space.
After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, the group of immortals arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Dozens of Mortal Fairies were scattered around the foothills, and three Immortal Soldiers were standing guard in a triangular formation in midair. A Immortal Dog was squatting beside the Immortal Soldiers. There were black and white spots on the Immortal Dog's body, and a faint halo was flowing between the spots.
"Grand Commander …" When the three immortal soldiers saw Zhao Xing flying over, they hurriedly bowed in greeting. However, it was as if their feet were nailed to the ground and they didn't move an inch.
"Yes!" Zhao Xing nodded. He pointed at Wei Ming and said, "This is Lord Wei of the Heavenly Secret Palace. Why don't you greet him?"
"Greetings, Lord Wei!" The Immortal Soldiers were surprised and bowed again.
Wei Ming nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
While they were talking, the dozens of Mortal Fairies scattered around the foothills also flew over and greeted Fang Ye and Fang Zheng. Their messy appearance couldn't be compared to the Immortal Soldiers.
Fang Zheng and Fang Ye naturally had to introduce Xiaoxiang Zi and the other immortals. This made the scene even more chaotic.
Xiao Hua hid behind the group of immortals and entered the space while they were exchanging greetings.
The corpse of the young man was floating in the void. Xiao Hua's eyes shot out a clear light from the Jade Archive and examined it carefully. Finally, his gaze landed on the head of the corpse. The brain matter of the corpse was naturally long gone, and only a skull with a hole was left. Xiao Hua of the Jade Archive raised his hand and pointed at the void. A dark green light appeared where the soul of the corpse was. This light didn't look like an ordinary dark cloud. Instead, it looked like a broken stone that was full of holes.
"That's strange …" Xiao Hua of the Jade Archive frowned and said, "Could it be that the murderer didn't kill these servants for their flesh and Nascent Souls, but for their souls?"
"The cultivation of these servants couldn't be compared to Strong Men and Mortal Fairies, but their souls were similar to Mortal Fairies. It was much easier to kill a servant than a Mortal Fairy. No wonder so many servants died."
"But why are these corpses as hard as metal and stone? And the patterns on the surface of their bodies are also extremely strange. They look different from what I saw before. "
Xiao Hua of the Jade Archive still wanted to look at it. Suddenly, he felt some movement outside the space. He didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly left the space with his mind.
As expected, when his mind returned to the space, Xiaoxiang Zi's voice sounded in Xiao Hua's ears, "Fellow Immortal Ren, I think there's something strange about this Yin Mountain. What do you think?"
Xiao Hua was stunned. He didn't know why Xiaoxiang Zi suddenly sent him a voice transmission. He thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I also think there are many strange things. It's just that I'm not as knowledgeable as Lord Wei … "
"Wei Ming also seems to have noticed something!" Xiaoxiang Zi said, "But he didn't point it out."
"Oh? What did Lord Wei discover? "Hsiao Hua-mei raised his eyebrows and asked.
Xiaoxiang Zi seemed to be hesitating. After a while, he replied, "There are more than 2,000 servants who died in the Yin Mountain!"
"Hiss …" Xiao Hua gasped again and said in surprise, "Then … how many are there?"
"More than ten times!"
Xiao Hua was even more surprised. He looked around and found that the Immortals had finished their greetings and were ready to lead them to the fire spell. He lowered his voice and said, "Fellow Immortal, how do you know?"
"Because I can feel that the Yin Soul Energy around us is extremely strong!"
"Yin Soul Energy?" Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to ask again, Xiaoxiang Zi dispelled his thoughts and said, "This is my secret. Fellow Immortal, you don't have to ask. I'm telling you this because I want to borrow your fire spell … "
Xiao Hua had a very good impression of Xiaoxiang Zi. He said almost without hesitation, "Of course. Whenever you need my help, Fellow Immortal, just let me know!"
"I heard that there's a fire spell in front. If possible, Fellow Immortal, can you condense some fire pearls for me?"
Xiao Hua smiled and agreed.
While they were talking, the Immortals had already flown up. Li Xiaoye deliberately slowed down and flew beside Xiao Hua. She asked in a low voice, "Fellow Immortal, did you discover anything?"
Xiao Hua looked at Li Xiaoye from head to toe and said indifferently, "Whatever I discover, I naturally have to tell Deacon Fang Zheng first. I don't think I should tell you first, right?"
After saying that, Xiao Hua ignored her and followed the Immortals to the foot of the mountain.
"How is it?" Bai Jingyu flew in front and did not look back. He asked anxiously through telepathy.
"The voice is somewhat similar, but I'm not sure!"
"Forget it, forget it …" Bai Jingyu shrank his neck and persuaded, "I've already sent a message to Zhou Xian. Let's ignore this guy and focus on figuring out the situation in Yin Mountain first. After seeing a few strange corpses, I'm a little regretful that I agreed to Fang Ye's request."
Everyone flew to the foot of the mountain with their own thoughts. They saw that the mountain rocks were piled up in a disorderly manner. There was actually some faint black gas emitting from the uncanny stone ridges. Moreover, there was not a single immortal herb around the foot of the mountain. Wherever the heavy rain fell, there was a "puff" sound.
"Lord Wei …" Fang Ye explained, "This place is relatively remote. It used to be the place where the odd-job workers planted immortal herbs. However, this place is different from other places. The immortal herbs planted here can't live for long. Even if you ask the strong men to move the spirit fields from other places here, it won't work. Over time, it's been abandoned. "
"… Half a century ago, my humble guest, Esteemed Xuan Song, came to Yin Mountain to investigate and accidentally found that there was a change in the foot of the mountain. After careful investigation, he found that this foot of the mountain was actually a Celestial Restriction. There was nothing special around the Celestial Restriction. If there was no accident, it should be a space entrance. Esteemed Xuan Song reported this to the Great Deacon who was in charge of this matter at that time. The Great Deacon then invited two guests, Zhenren Zhaoqiang and Zhenren Yi Qing, over. The three guests spent nearly ten years to break a small part of the Celestial Restriction and reveal the space entrance inside. "
"The Great Deacon originally suspected that the deaths of the odd-job workers and Mortal Fairies in Yin Mountain were related to this space entrance. However, while the three guests were breaking the formation, there were still odd-job workers who were silently killed. Therefore, the Great Deacon thought that the Celestial Restriction had nothing to do with Yin Mountain and temporarily put the matter of the Celestial Restriction aside."
"However, just a few days ago, some black gas suddenly gushed out of the space entrance in the Celestial Restriction. Some odd-job workers nearby were infected by the black gas and died. Although the way they died was different from the other odd-job workers, their corpses also had strange dark green patterns. Only then did the Great Deacon realize that the black gas in the space entrance should be related to Yin Mountain. He was about to ask the three guests to help again when he suddenly disappeared. The Great Deacon's life and death contract was left in the Zhuang Ancestral Temple. After the uncle who was in charge of the temple checked it, he found that the Great Deacon's name on the life and death contract was gray, not black because of his death. "
"After asking the Mortal Fairies who followed the Great Deacon, we found out that the Great Deacon had disappeared when he was investigating the space entrance. Therefore, while the guests were still breaking the restriction with Mortal Fairy Zhuang, the housekeeper asked Liu Zheng and me to look for help everywhere to help Zi Ya Manor get through this difficult time."
After listening to Fang Ye, Wei Ming, who had been squinting his eyes as if he was thinking, opened his mouth again and asked, "Zi Ya Manor didn't look for other Immortals before, right?"
"No, no!" Fang Ye and Fang Zheng said in unison, "This matter involves the secrets and reputation of Zi Ya Manor. How could we dare to publicize it?"
"If that's the case …" Wei Ming looked at the foothills below his feet and said, "The mystery of Yin Mountain's thousands of odd-job workers, hundreds of strongmen, and Mortal Fairies being killed is in this space entrance?"
