While investigating the surrounding situation, Lin Ray used a small tracking spell. But strangely, no matter how Lin Ray searched, he couldn't find any trace of the people who destroyed this village.
Even within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, he couldn't find any trace of the enemy.
"Could it be that they ran far away?"
He muttered to himself. Then, he increased the range of his divine sense. His divine sense broke through to a new height again.
"No, the bloodstains have dried up. Those people must not have gone far, but …"
On the side, feeling her husband's anxious mood, she frowned and her face turned ugly. She understood that if even Lin Ray couldn't find them, those ordinary people in the village would have died in vain.
"Husband, is it …"
"It's okay. I can find them. Don't worry." In order not to disappoint his wife, Lin Ray decided that he must catch those beasts to win a smile from his wife.
Although he had made up his mind, there was no progress on the surface. This was undoubtedly a slap in his face.
"Hmph, bastard, where are you hiding!"
A tyrannical aura surged in his heart. Evil Qi gushed out in an instant. He couldn't understand. With his divine sense and strength, it shouldn't be difficult to track those people who had just escaped. But now …
"No, could it be …"
Suddenly, Lin Ray's face changed dramatically. He seemed to have thought of a possibility. Then, he retracted all his divine sense and looked at the ground. A flash of light appeared.
"If there is no one in the sky or on the road, then … underground …" Thinking, his divine sense moved and instantly drilled into the ground.
In fact, he really had no other choice. After all, there was no one in the sky or on the ground. The only way to escape was to go underground. This was what he could think of as the ninth disciple. It was also the place that he didn't explore.
However, in the next moment, Lin Ray, who was still frowning with a bitter expression, didn't relax for a moment. The bitter expression on his face disappeared and was replaced by a comfortable smile.
"Hmph, if I had known that you would escape from underground, I wouldn't have wasted so much time."
At this moment, in Lin Ray's mind, a group of people were crawling under the ground at an amazing speed like ants.
At this moment, Lin Ray was 100% sure that those villagers were killed by them. Because there was a faint red light flashing on their bodies.
Generally, it would only appear when or after killing people. Lin Ray was sure of this.
Tracking them with divine sense, Lin Ray retracted his gaze and smiled at his wife. "Let's go, I found them."
"Let's go!"
Blur instantly charged out, transforming into a streak of light as he spoke, heading in the direction Linley had pointed.
"Uh … wait for us?"
Seeing his wife so anxious, Linley smiled helplessly. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Ice. In a flash, he chased after Obscurus.
The three of them were so fast that in the blink of an eye, they arrived above the people who were supposed to be underground.
However, Lin Ray didn't plan to attack them now. Previously, Lin Ray saw that they were very fast and very orderly. What surprised Lin Ray even more was that their cultivation methods were all of the earth element, and their Spiritual Roots were also of the earth element. Therefore, Lin Ray was sure that they must have a powerful force behind them, and that force was not small.
Looking at them, Lin Ray even guessed that they were from a sect. If they were ordinary thieves, it would be impossible for them to be so orderly, so …
"Husband, let's do it!" Ying couldn't help but say.
"No."
"Now is not the time." Lin Ray said firmly. He also understood Ying's doubts, so he immediately explained his idea to her.
After a few minutes, Ying, who understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded her head repeatedly. Her expression was full of admiration for Lin Ray.
"Well, since my husband has arranged it this way, I will follow your arrangement." After saying that, Ying was no longer as irritable as before. She just followed him quietly.
However, at this moment, a group of people was quickly moving underground. There were probably more than thirty cultivators, and each of them was wearing the same clothes. They were earth-colored, and the aura on their bodies was quite compatible with the earth.
In the face of such a group, if one was careless, they would probably pass by this group of people.
"Third Master, don't you think we have gone too far this time? After all, that is a village with tens of thousands of people. Will the First Master punish us?"
"Yes! Third Master, this is the life of tens of thousands of people. If the First Master knows that we have killed so many people, we will lose our heads. "
"Moreover, that village has always been paying tribute to our stronghold. This …"
At this moment, behind the middle-aged man in the lead, three people took turns talking. Judging from their appearance and clothes, their status in the stronghold was not low. It could even be said that they were quite high.
The one in the lead was naturally the Third Master that the three of them were talking about. However, his appearance was a little … a little scary. Everything else was fine.
The Third Master, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped. Then, the people behind him did the same. Some of them did not stop in time and directly crashed into their companions.
However, no one dared to be negligent. After all, the one who stopped the least was their leader.
The Third Master turned around and looked at the three people in front of him with a helpless expression. "I say, can you guys stop nagging like an old lady?"
"Didn't we just destroy a village? Is there a need to make a fuss? Is there a need to let Big Brother know? "
"But …" Hearing the Third Master's words, one of the three people retorted, "But what about the annual tribute? Tens of thousands of people pay tribute. This is not a small amount. If the First Master investigates, then the consequences …"
"That's right, Third Master. The First Master said that they are the parents of our livelihood. Ever since the First Master subdued Fangyuan, he has never touched ordinary people. You …"
"Enough, stop talking."
Seeing that he could not outtalk them, the Third Master directly roared, "This matter has already come to this. Then we will deal with it according to the current situation. As for the tribute issue, we will talk about it when the time comes."
"As the saying goes, counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. Even if we can't stop it and Big Brother finds out, I will take care of it. I believe Big Brother will not do anything to me."
After saying that, he cast a reassuring look to the people behind him, then turned around and continued moving forward.
"Heh, you're still talking about loyalty." In the air, Linley, who had been watching them this entire time, laughed inwardly when he heard the Third Master's words. He didn't think that such a vicious person would actually say such words.
But even so, Lin Ray had not seen the Third Master's killing intent at all. On the contrary, it had increased a lot. Just based on the Third Master's words, so what if he killed him?
Silently, they followed the Third Manager's group as they charged into the depths of the northern region. As time passed, the Third Manager's group moved faster and faster, and they only came to a stop when they had covered a distance of 60,000 kilometers.
"Xue Hun Stockade!"
At this moment, seeing the Third Master and his people stop, Lin Ray took Yin and Yang to a hiding place and spread out his Divine Sense.
In front of them, not far from Lin Ray, a large stockade appeared in Lin Ray's Divine Sense. Above the gate of the stockade, three big words were engraved on it.
Looking at those three words, Linley was certain that those three large red words had definitely been written with blood. Only, he didn't know what sort of method had been used to keep them so fresh and bright, and the smell of blood hadn't spread out at all.
"It's getting more and more interesting. With such methods, such a large stockade, and such a strict system, it's not an exaggeration to say that this is a Sect."
That's right. It was a school. Linley had thoroughly investigated this stronghold, both inside and out. There were strict rules and regulations within it. To put it bluntly, this was a school. In fact, it was even more perfect than most schools.
The only difference was that the cultivators in this stockade had very low cultivation. The strongest cultivator that Lin Ray could perceive was only at the Late-stage of Divine Monarch Realm.
As for the Third Master who had been following them, his cultivation was only at the Early-stage of Divine Ancestor Realm, and he had just broken through.
"How is it, husband? Is this their lair?" Sensing that Lin Ray had withdrawn his Divine Sense, Ying could not wait to ask.
"Yes, is this really their lair? If it is, let's hurry up and kill our way in!" Bing on the side echoed.
"… …"
Looking at the two women beside him, Lin Ray slapped his forehead and shook his head helplessly. "You two, can you not be so anxious? They're right here, they can't run away."
"What's more, with your cultivation, do you think they can escape?"
"We …" Hearing Lin Ray's question, Ying and Bing looked at each other and then quieted down.
"Sigh."
Looking at them, Lin Ray sighed. "In a while, you two stay here. I'll go in and take a look. If there's no danger, I'll inform you, okay?"
"We … we want to go in too!"
"Yes, we want to go in too. You just said that with our strength, they can't find us, okay?" Bing begged.
She stared at Linley with her large, watery eyes. But at this moment, Linley turned around and refused to look at her. In a firm voice, he said, "This matter is non-negotiable."
"Okay, this matter is settled. I'll go in and take a look. When there's no danger, you two can go in." With that, he did not stay any longer. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the previous scene would happen again.
Whoosh …
With a small invisibility spell, he disappeared in an instant. Then, a strong wind swept through the two women's hair.
"It seems that our husband has left." Ying said in disappointment.
"Yes."
A touch of disappointment appeared. Bing found a clean stone and sat down.
At this moment, in the deepest hall of the village, the third leader who had just returned was standing in the middle of the hall. A smile appeared on his face. He looked up at the middle-aged man who was sitting at the top.
"Big brother, this time I'm exhausted. Do you want me to go down and rest first? When I'm done, I'll come back …"
"Bang!" Without waiting for the third leader to finish his words, the middle-aged man reached out and slammed the table beside him. Suddenly, the table was torn into pieces and scattered on the ground.
"Bastard, tell me what you've done, huh?" A roar followed. It could be heard that the man was really angry.
"Big brother, I …"
"What about you? Do you know that those ordinary people are people who worship us like gods? Moreover, they are people who give us tributes. You actually … you actually wiped out the entire village. "
"Do you know that cultivators are not allowed to kill ordinary people? If you do that, we will be ostracized and hunted down by all the cultivators in the Divine Realm. Why did you do that?"
"That's right, second brother!" At this moment, a middle-aged man who was sitting at the bottom stood up and asked in puzzlement, "Did those people offend you? Or did they do something disrespectful to you? Why did you kill them? "
"You …"
Hearing the words of the person next to him, the third leader's face turned gloomy. He turned his head to look at the man sitting at the top and said, "Big brother, it happened naturally. It's useless to say anything more. Just say it, how do you want to punish me?"
"You … you … are you trying to anger me to death?" Seeing the third leader's reaction, the middle-aged man became anxious.
"Third brother, how can you anger your big brother like this? Do you know what kind of consequences your recklessness will bring to the village?"
"If this matter is spread to other villages, what will they do? Will they invite people from the sect to deal with us? "
"…" At this moment, the third leader was silent. He understood the seriousness of the matter, but … it had already happened. Even if he tried to make up for it, it would be useless.
"Sigh!"
Looking at his two younger brothers, the middle-aged man felt powerless. "Alright, let's leave it at that. As for third brother, you broke the rules because of the destruction of the village. As the saying goes, nothing can be accomplished without rules. Since you broke the rules, you must accept the punishment."
"Big brother, I …" Hearing the word 'punishment', the third leader's face changed greatly. He knew what the rules were. Everyone in the village knew how terrifying the punishment was. It was also because of the existence of the punishment that the people in the village were so well-behaved.
"Say no more." He waved his hand to reject the third leader's plea. "Since you broke the rules, you must abide by them. As the third leader of the village, you must set an example. So …"
The man sitting at the top abruptly raised his head to look at the entrance. His face became very serious.
"I wonder which fellow daoist has come to this village head's territory without saying hello. Isn't that a bit impolite?" Suddenly, the man's tone changed, causing the two people below to be puzzled.
"Hmm? Not coming out? "
After a few minutes, there was still no one coming out. At this moment, the man sneered and continued, "Alright, since fellow daoist doesn't want to show yourself, I can only personally invite you out."
After saying that, the man's figure moved to the entrance of a dense forest outside the door. Looking into the dense forest, he coldly shouted, "Still not coming out? Could it be that you really want me to take action?"
At this moment, in the dense forest, seeing the middle-aged man appear, Lin Ray was very shocked. Others might not know, but he knew very well that his concealment ability was very good. Ordinary people would not be able to discover him, but … at this moment …
