Dark Immortal Cultivation

Hidden in the darkness, Zhang Qing quietly activated his spiritual senses.

Spiritual awareness, also known as spiritual perception, naturally arises after a cultivator enters the Dao. It can be used to introspect oneself and also to project outwards.

The function of spiritual awareness is somewhat similar to radar, either to detect internal and external threats or to detect and locate enemies.

Cultivators with strong spiritual senses are often able to detect danger in advance, and even discover enemies hiding nearby.

They can even delve into the target's interior to uncover its secrets.

However, for low-level Qi Refining cultivators, the role of spiritual sense is very limited; it is better than nothing and far from being able to anticipate the enemy's moves.

Zhang Qing, however, was different.

Although his cultivation level is currently only at the second level of Qi Refining, his spiritual sense is far stronger than his peers, enough to rival cultivators in the middle or even late stages of Qi Refining!

Zhang Qing deduced that this was probably because his [Divine Soul] was as high as 1.8, the highest among the four attributes.

The spirit and consciousness are the manifestation of spiritual power; if the spirit is strong enough, the spiritual consciousness will certainly not be weak!

As his spiritual awareness gradually unfolded, Zhang Qing's senses became more acute.

He held his breath, intently searching for any movement inside the house.

A moment later, a very blurry image appeared in Zhang Qing's mind, and he vaguely sensed the presence of someone.

There was only one person inside the house!

This is actually quite normal.

Camps like Xiaoshiji are essentially the outer defenses of Luoshan City, and the cultivators residing there are all cannon fodder.

The situation is the worst for low-level cultivators. Despite Li Shen's arrogance and domineering attitude, he is actually a small fry who can be sacrificed at any time.

Given the constant threat of evil, how many people would get married and have children here, adding unnecessary burdens to themselves?

In addition, the number of female cultivators in the camp is much smaller than that of male cultivators. The former would rather be a concubine to a high-level cultivator than marry a lowly cannon fodder.

Therefore, the vast majority of low-level cultivators live a life of "drink today, for tomorrow we die"!

Zhang Qing heard snoring.

Without further hesitation, he immediately activated his true energy to condense magical power.

With a sudden movement of his left hand, Zhang Qing's fingertips caught a talisman.

Explosive Flame Talisman!

boom!

The next moment, a burst of intense flames suddenly exploded on the door, the violent impact shattering the thick door panel.

Before the flames had even died down, Zhang Qing leaped into the room!

At that moment, the person who was sound asleep in bed was suddenly awakened and instinctively sat up.

He opened his eyes and came face to face with Zhang Qing, who had barged into the room.

It was Li Shen!

The Loyalty Society member was utterly horrified and reached for the storage bag hanging at his waist.

Li Shen's reaction wasn't slow, but just as his fingers touched the bag's opening, a blazing fireball brimming with terrifying heat instantly swept several steps away, striking him squarely in the face.

Bang!

Before Li Shen could even let out a scream, his head exploded into pieces as if it had been smashed into a watermelon by a heavy hammer.

Red, white, and black splattered instantly onto the walls, beds, and floors!

He died completely, utterly, and could not die any further.

Zhang Qing lunged forward, snatched the storage bag from the other man's waist, and then turned and dashed away.

They disappeared into the dark alley in the blink of an eye.

From breaking down the door to killing the enemy, and then seizing the treasure and escaping, the whole process took no more than five breaths!

As Zhang Qing's figure disappeared into the night.

The headless corpse in the room swayed and then collapsed to the ground!

After another ten or so breaths, some neighbors and members of the Loyalty Society who had heard the commotion cautiously opened their doors and peeked out.

When someone discovered that Li Shen's door had been destroyed, they were immediately shocked and shouted, "Something terrible has happened to Shen Laoqi!"

He immediately took out a bamboo whistle from his pocket and blew it.

哔～

A sharp whistle pierced the darkness and spread in all directions in an instant.

This is a warning and distress signal!

Soon, a cacophony of voices filled the alley.

More followers appeared.

Several cultivators broke into Li Shen's house and were shocked by the horrific scene inside.

Li Shen was actually murdered?

And they died such a gruesome death!

Just then, a man in a gray robe flew over and parted the crowd to enter.

The man appeared to be in his thirties or forties, with a sinister face and cold, hard eyes.

The cultivators bowed respectfully, saying, "Sect Leader!"

This middle-aged man was none other than Liang Baizhou, the leader of the Loyalty and Righteousness Society, who had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining!

His face was extremely grim, and he demanded sharply, "What's going on?"

The group looked at each other and fell silent.

Because nobody knew the situation.

Liang Baizhou calmed down and pointed to one of his gang members: "You speak."

The gang member secretly groaned, but dared not be negligent in the slightest, and quickly recounted what had happened.

There's not much to say, really.

Everyone was confused. They ran over after hearing the commotion and discovered that Li Shen had been murdered.

In fact, no one was 100% certain that the corpse on the ground was Li Shen.

After all, his entire head was blown off.

However, some people familiar with Li Shen said that it should be him.

Because Li Shen's left little finger is missing a section.

This is the most obvious feature.

After listening, Liang Baizhou asked in a deep voice, "Has Li Shen made any enemies recently?"

His residence was some distance away, and he had just been meditating in his quiet room when he heard the whistle outside and hurried over.

This is what we saw.

Liang Baizhou was extremely annoyed.

It should be noted that this area was the gathering place of the core members of the Loyalty Society. The fact that these people broke into Li Shen's house, killed him, and then fled was tantamount to slapping him hard across the face.

This is a blatant insult!

For Liang Baizhou, Li Shen was insignificant; if one died, there were plenty of replacements.

But his and the Loyalty Society's dignity cannot be offended!

Therefore, the murderer must be caught.

However, the cultivators present looked at each other, unsure how to answer Liang Baizhou's question.

Li Shen is not highly skilled in cultivation, but his character is extremely wicked. Relying on the power of the Loyalty Society, he often bullies others.

Li Shen is also notorious for his shamelessness.

It's just that the Loyal and Righteous Society needed such vicious dogs to do odd jobs, which is why they made them official members.

If you were to ask about enemies, you could probably find a whole bunch around here.

Surely we can't just clean the entire Western-style film?

Liang Baizhou also realized the problem. Suppressing his violent emotions, he said, "Forget it, let's collect Li Shen's body first, seal off the house, and deal with it after we find the murderer!"

The real culprit has already fled far away, and it's nighttime, so it's unrealistic to ask everyone to search for him now.

Moreover, Liang Baizhou still harbored some apprehension.

The killer who murdered Li Shen was very powerful. His cultivation level might not be as high as Li Shen's, but his strength should not be underestimated.

Their methods were even more cruel and ruthless!

The ordinary members of the Loyalty Society were no match for such a character.

If the other party is merely settling a personal score, that's fine, but if they're targeting the Loyalty Society...

That would be extremely bad!

The enemy is currently in the dark while we are in the light, and we have few clues.

Therefore, they had to swallow their anger for the time being and conduct a covert investigation.

Liang Baizhou believed that as long as the other party remained hidden in Xiaoshiji, they would eventually reveal their true colors!

He stepped out of the room, his sharp gaze sweeping over the alley shrouded in darkness.

My mood is extremely bad.
