A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 304: A Smile on the Paper

Duan Rong, Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan walked back to the official road.

Duan Rong's eyes swept over the figures on the official road, and several envoys from the sects were there.

Duan Rong couldn't help but look at Lu Qingzhu. Lu Qingzhu noticed Duan Rong's gaze, frowned, and his face turned cold.

Duan Rong felt as if he had been stabbed, and immediately looked away...

Everyone present looked exhausted, and many were bruised.

Zhu Qunxiang said: "I know that you fellow disciples have just gone through a fierce battle and are very tired! But we must now clean up the battlefield and explore the dense forest to see if there are any surviving fellow disciples."

"Everyone from my Taiyi Sect must be found alive or dead! Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to explain ourselves."

"My suggestion is that we act together. After all, there may still be remnants of the foul blood lurking in the dense forest. It may be dangerous to act alone."

"My fellow disciples, do you have any opinions?"

After Zhu Qunxiang finished speaking, there was dead silence and no one said a word.

Zhu Qunxiang's eyes moved, and she looked past the others and looked at Ah Mo who was standing beside the official road, and said, "Ah Mo, what do you mean?"

Strictly speaking, Amo is not the sect's envoy at all. Lu Qingzhu is the sect's envoy.

Ah Mo was stunned by Zhu Qunxiang's question. Whenever she was with Lv Qingzhu, she would listen to Lv Qingzhu on all matters, big or small.

A Mo subconsciously looked at Lu Qingzhu beside him.

Lu Qingzhu hummed lightly.

A Mo understood, looked at Zhu Qunxiang and nodded.

When Zhu Qunxiang saw Ah Mo nod, she immediately felt relieved and said, "Then, let's go. Let's start from this dense forest."

As Zhu Qunxiang spoke, he headed towards the dense forest beside the official road.

The people on the official road followed silently. Lu Qingzhu and A Mo also followed behind the crowd.

The people who were walking all looked at A-Mo who was not far behind them out of the corner of their eyes.

There might be danger in the dense forest, and they felt more at ease knowing that Amo was following behind them.

The Qi Realm warriors were all exhausted, but Ah Mo's horizontal martial arts were not restricted by Qi, and his combat power was almost not reduced.

Even if there is any danger in the dense forest, with A-Mo here, those evil remnants won't get any advantage.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qunxiang asked Amo just now. Although Amo is not the sect's envoy, on a real battlefield, only those with strength have the qualifications to speak.

If Amo didn't nod, he really wouldn't dare to walk into the dense forest.

As soon as everyone walked down the official road, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and the shattered fragments and debris on the official road were blown around with a rustling sound.

Suddenly a piece of paper was blown around in the air. Ximen Kankan saw it sideways, jumped up, and grabbed the piece of paper in his hand.

All I saw was a bunch of ink graffiti on the piece of paper.

Ximen Kankan looked at them and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the several erotic pictures he brought were all ruined.

If it were in the past, Ximen Kankan would have cried out in pain.

But this time, he himself saw life and death.

Most importantly, he also saw Xia Shuangshuang's naked dead body.

Ximen Kankan didn't realize that many of his obsessions were resolved in front of Xia Shuangshuang's dead body.

Ximen Kankan's experience and changes probably coincide with the Western Buddhist practice of contemplating the white bones.

It's just that he is trapped in it and doesn't understand it clearly.

Ximen Kankan picked up the paper and smiled. When he loosened his fingers, the piece of paper was blown away by the wind and flew away to who knows where...

When they reached the edge of a dense forest, they immediately saw a decapitated corpse not far away.

They walked over quickly, and when Zhu Qunxiang saw the man's body shape, clothes, and the weapon dropped not far away, he immediately recognized him.

"It's Tao Rong!"

Tao Rong was at the Great Accomplishment realm, and was considered quite powerful among the registered disciples. Unexpectedly, he could not escape the clutches of the Filthy Blood Demon.

After everyone sighed and turned at the edge of the dense forest, they saw a dilapidated temple.

From the corner of the dense forest where they were standing to the gate of the ruined temple, there were many broken vegetation along the way. It was obvious that a fierce fight had taken place here, but there was no corpse.

Zhu Qunxiang's eyes jumped, and he walked towards the dilapidated temple, and the people behind him followed closely.

When Lu Qingzhu came to the dilapidated temple again, her face blushed slightly.

As soon as everyone entered the ruined temple, they were all shocked.

There were many corpses scattered in the small dilapidated temple. Some had broken heads, some had broken waists, and blood was wriggling all over the corpses, which looked weird and terrifying.

These corpses are obviously all bloody monsters!

"Good death!" Lu Qingfeng cursed with gritted teeth.

Zhu Qunxiang suddenly saw a strange mummy. The mummy had turned gray-brown, with some blood still on the surface, and was wriggling...

Zhu Qunxiang walked over slowly, her eyes jumping.

The clothes on the mummy seemed familiar.

Zhu Qunxiang's scalp suddenly tingled because he saw a half-opened iron fan lying on the ground beside the mummy.

Lu Qingfeng walked behind Zhu Qunxiang and asked, "Is it Fan Yuanhai?"

"Yes." Zhu Qunxiang's voice was a little low.

"When did he arrive?" Lu Qingfeng looked puzzled.

Zhu Qunxiang said: "They must have arrived after the explosion, and happened to run into the bloody monster, and were killed by him."

Zhu Qunxiang and Lu Qingfeng both noticed that on Fan Yuanhai's mummy, the entire left arm was missing at the left shoulder, and the bone fragments on the shoulder were clearly visible. It was obvious that he had gone through an extremely brutal battle before his death.

Lu Qingzhu stood behind everyone, looking at Fan Yuanhai's body with a suspicious look.

She knew very well that when she left, there was no Fan Yuanhai's body in the dilapidated temple, but now Fan Yuanhai was in the dilapidated temple, and he had become a mummy.

Lu Qingzhu's eyes swept across Duan Rong's profile. She remembered that when she and Amo walked to the official road, Fan Yuanhai asked her about Duan Rong.

Lu Qingzhu had already guessed 80% in his mind that Fan Yuanhai was probably killed by Duan Rong.

Duan Rong felt Lu Qingzhu's gaze, he turned his head and his eyes met Lu Qingzhu's.

Duan Rong immediately understood from the clear and determined look in Lu Qingzhu's eyes that Lu Qingzhu had guessed that he was the one who killed Fan Yuanhai.

Duan Rong stared at Lu Qingzhu with deep eyes.

Lu Qingzhu pursed her lips and avoided Duan Rong's gaze. She was not a nosy person, and besides, she had no evidence.

Moreover, from the looks of it, it was Fan Yuanhai who found Duan Rong first, but was killed by Duan Rong instead.

Duan Rong felt relieved when he saw Lu Qingzhu remained silent.

After all, if Lu Qingzhu wanted to expose him, she would have to explain what happened before and after the temple was destroyed. Then, she naturally could not hide the fact that she and Duan Rong had a night of love in the temple.

How could Lu Qingzhu say that?

Moreover, Duan Rong could also sense that Lu Qingzhu didn't want to expose him at all.

After counting the dead bodies in the ruined temple, everyone walked out and continued patrolling in the dense forest.

After everyone had inspected the dense forest and wilderness on this side, the setting sun in the west was as red as blood, and the sky there was like a bright wound pierced by a knife. Zhu Qunxiang led everyone through the official road and went to the dense forest on the other side.

Shen Mizhi was hanging somewhere in the dense forest. As she watched the light gradually dim, her heart was drowned in fear bit by bit.

It’s getting dark…

She wanted to shout for help, but she didn't dare. She was afraid that her shouting would attract the people from the Filthy Blood Cult.

Just then, he heard a noisy sound of footsteps behind him, and it was obviously not one person.

Shen Mizhi's heart instantly rose to her throat, because the footsteps were obviously getting closer and closer to her, like the beat of a life-threatening drum.

Shen Mizhi prayed, and at this moment, she saw the person walking in front. It was Zhu Qunxiang!
Shen Mizhi's tears burst out instantly.

The moment she saw Zhu Qunxiang, Zhu Qunxiang's figure paused slightly, and he obviously saw her too.

Zhu Qunxiang did see Shen Mizhi from a distance, but Shen Mizhi did not shout. Zhu Qunxiang did not know for a moment whether the person hanging was dead or alive.
Zhu Qunxiang looked around vigilantly, and when he found that everything was quiet, he walked over slowly.

When he was halfway there, he heard suppressed sobbing coming from the tree where the man was hanging.

Zhu Qunxiang's heart moved and she walked over quickly. She immediately saw Shen Mizhi hanging there, covered in blood and with tears streaming down her face.

"Ms. Shen!?" Zhu Qunxiang said in surprise.

Shen Mizhi was under the shadow of a tree, and Zhu Qunxiang did not recognize her from a distance.

Zhu Qunxiang immediately jumped up and leaped onto the fork of the big tree, squatted down and untied the python whip tied there.

Zhu Qunxiang untied the python whip, and Xiao Yu immediately flashed over and caught Shen Mizhi.

Shen Mizhi burst into tears. Xiao Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears while comforting her: "It's okay. It's okay."

Shen Mizhi was so frightened that she lay on Xiao Yu's shoulder and it took her a long time to calm down.

Shen Mizhi recovered her mood and immediately looked at Xiao Yu a little embarrassedly and said, "Thank you, Sister Xiao."

Xiao Yu was one year older than Shen Mizhi, but this was the first time they had met.

Xiao Yu smiled and said distressedly: "Sister Shen, you have suffered."

After Xiao Baiqiao passed away, no one had called her sister for a long time. Shen Mizhi's delicate appearance with tears in her eyes and the call of "Sister Xiao" made Xiao Yu very happy.

Shen Mizhi suddenly saw Ah Mo behind everyone. She was stunned for a moment, then she became furious. She strode over, pointed at Ah Mo, and said, "Why did you abandon me alone in this wilderness?"

A Mo stared at Shen Mizhi in a daze, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of her words for a moment.

Shen Mizhi said: "Can't you put me down and leave?"

This time Ah Mo understood, and she replied calmly: "I'm busy."

"You..." Shen Mizhi was so angry that she paused at Ah Mo's self-righteous tone and expression.

However, from Amo's point of view, she really didn't have time. She was in a hurry to find Lu Qingzhu at that time, so how could she have the time to care about other things?

Shen Mizhi glanced at Lu Qingzhu beside Ah Mo and said sarcastically, "I don't know who taught you to be so hard-hearted!?"

Ah Mo saw that Shen Mizhi was insinuating her young lady, and immediately became furious, saying: "I killed the dwarf that was crawling on you, and I have already saved you! If you say one more word about my young lady, I will smack your mouth!"

Shen Mizhi's face turned pale after hearing Ah Mo's words, and when everyone heard Ah Mo say to kill the dwarf that was crawling on her, they all looked at her with strange eyes.

Under a big tree not far away, there was indeed a bloody corpse of a dwarf with a rotten head.

Just when Shen Mizhi was embarrassed, Xiao Yu walked over with a smile, grabbed Shen Mizhi and said, "Come here, let me see if you are injured?"

Xiao Yu pulled Shen Mizhi aside. Shen Mizhi knew that Xiao Yu was trying to help her out and looked at him with gratitude.

At this time, dusk was gradually falling in the dense forest.

Zhu Qunxiang and his companions found a few dead branches, lit them with a tinder, and made torches. Holding the torches, they continued to explore the dense forest.

They had just walked for a while when they suddenly saw a huge black shadow hidden in the trees ahead, like a hill hidden in the dense forest.

However, there would definitely not be a hill suddenly appearing in this dense forest for no reason.

"What the hell is that?"

In this dense forest shrouded in twilight, everyone was shocked. They had just experienced a brutal melee and were easily afraid of enemies.

Zhu Qunxiang glanced at Ah Mo who was not far behind him and said, "Ah Mo, please go over and take a look."

A Mo looked at Lu Qingzhu with an inquiring look.

Lu Qingzhu's eyes flashed, and he said, "Go ahead, be careful."

A Mo nodded, took the torch from Zhu Qunxiang, and slowly walked towards the dark shadows in the dense forest ahead.

The black shadow was so huge, it couldn't possibly be a human. A'mo's size was already far beyond that of an ordinary person, and the black shadow's size was several times that of A'mo.

Ah Mo approached the black shadow, his eyes slightly jumped, and in the light of the fire, he saw that the dense forest was filled with horse carcasses.

The corpses of more than ten horses piled together looked like a small hill.

Ah Mo turned around and walked back, looking at Zhu Qunxiang, and said, "It's a pile of horse corpses!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qunxiang felt relieved.

Several people searched the dense forests on both sides of the official road and found all the bodies that should be found.

Lu Qingfeng and Wang Shanshan went to a nearby village and got three ox carts.

They moved all the bodies they found onto ox carts.

Ximen Kankan took off his coat and put it on Xia Shuangshuang's body. Jiang Qingyu's body and severed head were placed together.

Tao Rong was left with only a headless body, but no one knew where his severed head had gone.

Next to Fan Yuanhai's dried corpse was a shriveled head.

The other ox cart was filled with corpses of bloody monsters. The corpses were all covered with floating and wriggling blood, which was even more creepy in the moonlit night. No one was willing to drive this ox cart, so Zhu Qunxiang had to come in person.

Lu Qingfeng drove the first ox cart carrying the corpses.

The last ox cart was driven by Wang Shanshan. Duan Rong, Xiao Yu, Shen Mizhi, Ximen Kankan, and Lu Qingzhu were all squeezed into the last ox cart.

A-Mo was too big and couldn't sit in the ox cart at all.

Zhu Qunxiang whipped the cow with a whip. The old yellow cow mooed and slowly walked on the road where the moonlight was floating.

Ah Mo followed Lu Qingzhu's ox cart and walked slowly...

The direction they were heading was the road back to Xiangu County.

This is what Zhu Qunxiang meant.

They were ambushed by the Filthy Blood Cult, which was a major case.

Regardless of the target of the attack and where it occurred, it fell under the jurisdiction of Xiangu County.

All the evidence of this major case, actually the bodies of those evildoers, must be handed over to the Xiangu County Court.

Moreover, he also had to write a detailed report on the case in Xiangu County, have all the sect envoys sign it jointly, and then submit it to the sect.

As the sect's envoys, they had the responsibility to protect these registered disciples. There had to be an explanation for the deaths of Tao Rong, Jiang Qingyu, and Xia Shuangshuang.

Moreover, these three people are all from aristocratic families, and their families have some background. If this case cannot be handled properly, it will bring them a lot of trouble and many troubles.

Therefore, they must go back to Xiangu County this time.
