The purpose of these things is unclear, and none of the disciples who went back to report could explain them clearly...

Therefore, the leaders of the various Taoist sects could only send letters to each other, agreeing to come to Zhongling Village together to investigate the truth.

At this moment, the massive procession was walking in the middle of the road, with burning villages and houses on both sides. Strange runes were blown about by the fire and wind, the demon-slaying bells jingled, and the towering flames, emitting blue smoke, shot straight into the sky.

The entire village seemed to be shrouded in black mist.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't seem to be here to catch ghosts; she seemed more like she was here to enjoy the scenery. Although her Taoist skills were not proficient, she had a very attractive figure, and many Taoist disciples were already secretly flirting with her.

However, in Lin Xiaoyue's heart, none of these ordinary Taoist disciples were as handsome and powerful as her senior brother Yang Xingyun. Seeing that Yang Xingyun was about to move closer to Lin Xie, she playfully tugged at Yang Xingyun's sleeve: "Senior brother, do you think the one who slaughtered the village was a human or a ghost? Why have all the major sects investigated for so long without seeing a single ghost? Could it be that it wasn't the work of demons but rather human intervention?"

It was June, and Lin Xiaoyue, dressed in a pomegranate-red dress, felt a chill on the back of her neck. She leaned against Yang Xingyun in a coquettish tone and said, "Senior brother, I'm so cold. Can you warm me up?"

Yang Xingyun blushed, and Lin Xiaoyue led her to wrap her arms around her waist.

The soft, warm fragrance wafted towards him, and Yang Xingyun's body stiffened. He instinctively looked towards Lin Xie.

Lin Xie walked up to Master Jiang, his expression hidden in the night: "Master, the Demon-Subduing Bell and talisman magic only work on ghosts. You must have noticed that there are no traces of ghosts here after entering Zhongling Village for so long. The person who slaughtered the villagers of Zhongling Village is someone else, and I'm afraid we can't handle them."

The group all looked like reclusive masters, unfathomable, but Master Jiang was the leader of the group. He glanced at Lin Xie with a cold expression and a look of disdain.

An elderly man standing nearby, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe and a small hat, holding a whisk, said sarcastically, "You're just a disciple of a small sect. Who gives you the right to speak here?"

Lin Xiaoyue thought Bi Xie wanted to show off, so she stepped forward with an unfriendly expression and rolled her eyes at Bi Xie: "Senior sister, even if you want to learn more profound Taoist arts from Master Jiang, you don't need to make such alarmist statements at this time. With so many sect leaders and celestial masters here, even a vengeful ghost with extremely high resentment can be subdued without breaking a sweat. Come back quickly, don't embarrass Father!"

Lin Xiaoyue deliberately shouted in a high-pitched voice, immediately attracting everyone's attention. The various sect leaders looked at the immature Lin Xie with indifferent and dismissive expressions.

Ignoring Lin Xie's words, Master Jiang said, "Let's go and take a look in the village."

Bi Xie fell silent. She had said what she needed to say, and there was nothing she could do if these people didn't leave.

Even if she were to say now that the ones attacking the village were vampires, she would only be met with ridicule and contempt.

Oh well, this is just a world where she's carrying out her mission. Once she finishes her mission here, she'll leave. Everything here is just an illusion.

Thinking of this, Bi Xie suddenly paused. That ghost, what was this "cultivation" or "illness wine" thing, hadn't told her how to complete the mission? And what was her mission?

"My name is Ghost Cultivator Slayer of Sickness Wine." The cold voice echoed in Bi Xie's mind.

The rose necklace around her neck felt slightly hot, and the cold voice continued, "Your mission is to obtain the most precious drop of blood from the villain and increase his happiness level to 100."
