Before the incident that night, it was the night of Wu Chengze's fiftieth birthday. There were many guests, and it was lively until late at night before people left.
The Dongyue family clan that Wu Zheng mentioned was also a famous force in the vicinity, and there were rumors that the Dongyue family clan had the intention to form a marriage alliance with Spirit Condensation Mountain Village.
Ye Qingtang nodded slightly and did not say anything else, as though all the questions just now were just casually mentioned. After that, apart from asking Wu Zheng about the origin of those skulls, she did not say anything else.
Before they landed, Zhou Xuan and the rest, who walked one round in the village, had a rather ugly expression, and there was no color on their faces at all.
Spirit Condensation Mountain Village was not small, but there were over three hundred corpses scattered everywhere. Blood stains covered everything that they could see, and a rotten smell entered their noses. It was as if they were in hell.
"Senior Brother Zhou, the situation of this Spirit Condensation Mountain Village … seems to be more complicated than we imagined." A disciple who was about to vomit bile said with a pale face.
Zhou Xuan nodded slightly. Their eyes were filled with bloody scenes today, but there were no actual clues at all.
"In Spirit Condensation Mountain Village, everyone's head was chopped off with one slash, and the wounds were extremely neat. Furthermore, there were no signs of fighting near those corpses, and it did not look like they were seeking revenge."
"That's right. If they were enemies, why would they surrender so easily?"
Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment and turned to look at Lin Long, who was walking at the back. "Junior Sister Lin, did you discover anything?"
Lin Long shook her head.
Zhou Xuan frowned slightly, and he was a little frustrated. If there were no clues, how were they going to complete this mission?
"There are no clues here, but maybe there are on those skulls in front?" A disciple said.
Zhou Xuan was slightly taken aback. He then recalled the pile of skulls in the abyss and recalled Ye Qingtang, who he threw in the front yard to investigate the tower of skulls. A smile flashed across Zhou Xuan's eyes, and he said meaningfully, "I wonder how is Junior Sister Ye's investigation going."
"What else can it be? I don't think she'll be able to find anything by herself. I think she's already scared out of her wits. Now that there's no one watching, she naturally won't touch those heads. Senior Brother Zhou, I've said it before. Ye Qingtang is just a burden. She can't do anything and will only cause trouble. "One of the disciples pursed his lips. He was not optimistic about Ye Qingtang's progress at all.
"After all, it's junior sister Ye's first time participating in a sect mission. It's understandable even if she's a burden. We're all her senior brothers and sisters, so we naturally have to be more tolerant," Zhou Xuan said righteously.
"Senior Brother Zhou, you're too kind. But Ye Qingtang doesn't seem to appreciate your kindness. She doesn't know what's good for her." A disciple scoffed.
Zhou Xuan did not say much. He just pretended to be magnanimous and waved his hand. "Forget it. Let's go to the front yard first."
In the eyes of the other two disciples, Zhou Xuan was taking care of Ye Qingtang. Even if Ye Qingtang died in the future, they would definitely not suspect Zhou Xuan.
And this …
This was the effect that Zhou Xuan wanted.
The two disciples were obviously misled by Zhou Xuan's hypocrisy and looked down on Ye Qingtang, who only had a red spirit root, from the bottom of their hearts. The group walked to the front yard together and waited to see Ye Qingtang's pale and fearful look.
