The little girl was powerless to resist and eventually succumbed to King's Landing's onslaught.

She choked back tears as she said, "I don't know much, I only know that every person who comes here disappears the next day."

“If no one comes for a long time, the uncles and aunts in the village will also disappear. My father disappeared suddenly.”

Listening to the little girl's words, Junlin nodded. It seemed that these people were trying to save their lives.

But would they risk their lives just to save their own?

However, this little girl still knows too little; we need to catch someone and interrogate them properly.

Junlin's gaze swept over the surrounding villagers.

These villagers were clearly stalling for time, and were even willing to die rather than let them leave.

Although if he forced his way in, leaving would be very easy.

But he never intended to leave; his goal from beginning to end was to rid the village of its evil spirits.

now.

Luo Jie returned after completely dealing with the mummified corpses, and couldn't help but complain, "These evil spirits are really troublesome to deal with."

He started by chopping the mummies into several pieces, but the mummies that were chopped into pieces could still move.

It wasn't completely solved until it was chopped into small pieces, which disgusted him.

When Junlin saw Luo Jie return, he also said, "Let me first share my opinion. I feel that this village itself may be an evil spirit."

"It can't be that bad, can it? Are we doomed today?" Luo Jie's lips twitched. This was not good news.

Junlin shrugged and said, "It's just a feeling. It's also possible that there's just a demonic cultivator hiding in the shadows. Anyway, Baiyi, grab someone and ask them first."

The man in white nodded, stepped forward, and grabbed a villager.

"Your... the soul inside the Emperor's Banner retains consciousness?" Luo Jie couldn't help but ask, looking at the man in white.

Junlin nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"

It would be good to have a conscious soul, so that it can do whatever it is told, and all it needs to do is give orders.

Moreover, one can also cultivate through the path of ghost cultivation to improve their strength.

A soul without consciousness can only be released to attack; the difference is enormous.

Luo Jie frowned and said, "If that's the case, you'll easily suffer a backlash if you have too many souls in the future."

Junlin waved his hand dismissively and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Since he's immortal, even if he suffers a backlash, he can just die and then come back to teach them a lesson.

There will always be a time when they are beaten into submission.

Seeing Jun Lin's nonchalant attitude, Luo Jie felt somewhat helpless.

But now is not the time to dwell on this; let's wait until this matter is over before offering advice.

The residents who had been captured by the white-clad man were trembling with fear.

After all, he was just an ordinary person, while the two people in front of him were ruthless demonic cultivators who killed without blinking an eye. It was impossible for him not to be afraid.

“Tell me everything you know, or this brother will slaughter your entire village. You must have seen his strength just now,” Jun Lin said coldly.

Luo Jie, standing to the side, was somewhat bewildered. When did he decide to massacre the village?

Although I was internally complaining.

But he still cooperated and said, "Brother Jun is right. If you don't want your family and friends to die, then tell the truth."

The villager trembled and hurriedly said, "I, I'll tell you, please stop killing people."

Then, the villagers looked around somewhat timidly.

He slowly began to speak: "Our village was perfectly normal before, but a year ago, a villager mysteriously disappeared."

Get to the point!

Junlin interrupted the villagers; he had no interest in hearing their stories.

"Yes, yes!" the villagers nodded repeatedly, "What caused all this was a locust tree..."

Before the villager could finish speaking, a splinter that shot out from the ground pierced his throat.

Luo Jie immediately stood up and retreated a distance.

And where he had originally stood, a splinter appeared.

"Can't hide it anymore?"

Upon seeing this, Junlin immediately left the spot.

"What's going on?" Luo Jie held his long sword, his brows furrowed. They actually killed someone to silence him right in front of him, but the problem was he couldn't find the target.

"Didn't you hear what he was saying? The evil spirit here should be a locust tree spirit, but I don't know how strong it is."

Although the villager didn't finish speaking, he wasn't some villain in a novel whose intelligence had been reduced; he could figure this out with a little thought.

"..."

Luo Jie scratched his head. "Is that so? It sounds like it makes some sense."

However, if it's just a locust tree that has become a spirit, then with his strength, he still has a chance to solve the problem.

“The problem now is that we don’t know where that thing is,” Junlin said, taking a step back.

Another splinter emerged from the ground.

Luo Jie looked at the villagers present and said, "Does anyone know where that locust tree demon is? Take us there."

The villagers looked at each other, but did not answer the two men.

"White-robed man, question them one by one, and kill those who don't know the answers."

"Yes!" the man in white replied and walked toward the villagers.

This method was indeed effective. After killing several villagers, an old man came out and shouted.

"I know, I'll take you there, but please stop killing."

Luo Jie immediately rushed towards the old man, lifted him up, and dodged the spikes meant to kill him and silence him.

"Lead the way."

As Junlin spoke, he put the little girl down from his arms. They were about to fight the BOSS, so he couldn't bring the little one with him.

With Luo Jie's protection, although wooden spikes kept appearing on the ground, they did not harm the old man who was leading the way.
