Chapter 46 The Abyss of Corpses

"!"

This "Master Jiang" is definitely suspicious!

Li Qingfeng felt his hair stand on end from the boy's stare, and only later did he realize how absurd it all seemed.

He cursed himself inwardly. A cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining was actually frightened by a mortal. What a coward!

Song Yan and Li Qingfeng both looked at Qin Ying.

But she remained seated there, silent, clutching Gu Qingqing's life talisman in her hand.

Why hasn't Senior Sister Qin gone to find that Master Jiang yet? If she doesn't act soon, who knows what might happen to Junior Sister Gu...

Song Yan felt somewhat anxious, and Li Qingfeng shared the same question.

She transmitted her voice to him, saying, "Senior Brother Song, do you think Senior Sister Qin is testing us?"

"If she makes a move, then there's nothing for us to do."

"..."

Song Yan was somewhat puzzled, but he also felt that what his chubby junior brother said made sense.

"Senior Brother Song, Senior Sister is here to keep things under control, nothing will happen. Let's go and search around to see if we can find any clues."

Song Yan pondered for a moment, then transmitted his voice, "Alright, you stay nearby, I'll go explore other parts of the village."

Li Qingfeng stood up and said to the young man, "Brother, I have a terrible stomachache after drinking your tea. I'm afraid I've been eating too much oily and greasy food lately."

He was afraid that these words would offend his senior sister's ears, so he deliberately lowered his voice: "Um... where is the outhouse?"

The boy was a little suspicious. He hadn't seen any of the three drink tea, and simply said he hadn't seen it: "I'll take you there."

After the boy and Li Qingfeng left, Song Yan informed his senior sister, "Senior sister, I'm going to take a walk in the village."

"..."

Qin Ying nodded, then added, "Come back before the banquet begins."

"……it is good."

It was already dusk. Stepping out of the Jiang family's house, the village was deserted, with only a few people coming out of their homes and walking towards the Jiang family's house, seemingly to attend the evening's celebration.

To the right of the Jiang family's gate is an ancient well. If you walk east along the path in front of the well, you will find an archway and a low wall.

I heard some playful noises coming from over there.

Song Yan passed through the archway and entered a courtyard. Five children, like wild horses, chased and played with each other, running past him.

A little boy, who had been away for some reason, had fallen behind the group and was now frantically trying to catch up.

"Ouch!"

She tripped and fell right next to Song Yan.

"Be careful."

He reached out to help, and his little hand was icy cold.

"Oh... thank you, big brother."

"It's ok."

Song Yan nodded: "Go have fun."

So energetic.

These children, on the contrary, are quite normal...

Song Yan pondered.

It is now almost certain that this so-called "Master Jiang" is the culprit behind everything.

Can……

"How did this Master Jiang turn Peach Blossom Village into a dead land?"

Is it... a trapping formation?
No, if it's relying on an array, it means the array is already in operation, but he didn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations belonging to the array.

Is it... coercion and bribery?
That's not right either. Song Yan could tell that everyone in Peach Blossom Village, young and old, had stayed here voluntarily. What about those people from other places? Where did that cultivator from Jiangyun Prefecture and Junior Sister Qingqing go?

"..."

...Strange Daoist techniques?

That shouldn't be the case, otherwise, why didn't the three of them show up and cast a curse on them when they entered the village?

unless……

Suddenly, the expression on Song Yan's face disappeared.

what is that?
In the flowerbed not far away, a white figure looked somewhat familiar to him.

I walked slowly forward and stared at it in a daze.

Paper figure?

"..."

Song Yan looked back and saw that only four of the group of children remained.

……

Unless... those three are the last group.

……

The sun was setting quickly and was about to disappear on the horizon.

"Pingping, on this joyous day, instead of going to the Jiang family's banquet, why are you cooking rice here..."

The village chief, leaning on his cane, walked from the banyan tree at the village entrance where people were gossiping towards the Jiang family's house. He stopped briefly in front of a house that was currently occupied.

"Village chief, you go ahead. Gou Dan'er and I can't handle those good things... we don't have that kind of luck."

Chen Jiping was from out of town and had a very hard life. Her husband's family passed away shortly after she married into the family.

The village chief sighed, turned and left.

"..."

hum...

At one moment, Chen Jiping heard a sharp ringing in her ears.

The figure who had been hunched over the desk suddenly stood up, his eyes losing their luster.

She walked out of the house like a doll, her limbs stiff, her shoulders and neck twitching from time to time, and her facial muscles also looking somewhat unnatural.

Walk towards the top of the incense burner.

At the top of the incense burner stands a Taoist temple of moderate size, which is the place of seclusion for the "Immortal" Jiang Xiao.

In front of the Taoist temple, there is a large blue stone, on which lies a plump woman.

"Um……"

As night fell, the weather turned cold.

But she was only wrapped in a thin piece of silk, and nothing else.

She yawned lazily, glanced at the walking corpse approaching the Taoist temple from outside, and then paid no further attention.

A pair of long, slender, fair legs simply crossed and intertwined.

At this moment, Master Jiang Xiao came out of the Taoist temple.

He watched Chen Jiping approach, his eyes roaming over her voluptuous body as if she were a toy.

Why leave her alone of all people?

Bai Yulu asked casually, but her voice seemed a little strange.

"Although she has no spiritual root, for some reason, her speed in cultivating the Blood Refining Scroll is astonishing."

"It's much faster than the other pigs in the village."

Jiang Xiao gently stroked Chen Jiping's face and loosened her own sash.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter if there's one more or one less."

"call……"

Jiang Xiao looked up, a look of pure delight on her face: "Keep it, it'll give us another helper."

"we?"

Bai Yulu sneered: "I don't need any help."

Jiang Xiao sneered inwardly.

Of course she didn't need it. A mid-stage first-tier demon beast dared to raise its voice in front of her for no other reason than this.

Just because she represents one of the two major demon clan forces in the Chu Kingdom.

Corpse Abyss.

"You've been setting up this Blood Refining Array for three years, and now you've only attracted one Foundation Establishment cultivator, and you're already going to use it."

"With the immortal sword bestowed upon you by your master, you might be able to kill that Foundation Establishment cultivator all by yourself."

"The remaining two are both in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Your courage is a bit too cowardly..."

Jiang Xiao didn't even open his eyes: "There's no need to be greedy for credit or act rashly. If we attract too many Foundation Establishment cultivators, it's easy for trouble to happen. Now is the perfect time."

"That Qin Ying is an inner disciple of the Dongyuan Sect, and she will probably become a true disciple soon. Using her on her wouldn't be a waste... hiss..."

He frowned, seemingly somewhat displeased.

"It won't cause too much of a commotion, and we have plenty of time..."

Jiang Xiao kicked the puppet-like Chen Jiping aside, then walked towards Bai Yulu: "There is plenty of time."

He licked his dry lips, bent down, reached out and stroked Bai Yulu's bare ankles, then inch by inch, he swam deeper.

A pink mist appeared in Bai Yulu's eyes, making her look even more charming and alluring.

"At this point, they were quite bold."

The piece of silk slipped to the ground.
