"Could it be that those wild cats we saw before were all residents of Deer City? So this city isn't empty, but the villagers have all been transformed into wild cats due to a curse?"
She couldn't help but feel that this idea that suddenly came to her mind was bold and absurd.
No, she had to find a chance to discuss this with Senior Sister Ye and Senior Brother Bai. If a big demon was really involved, this matter would be very tricky, and she felt very conflicted.
But then she thought again, her mission this time was to investigate this big monster. If she saved these villagers, maybe she could lure the big monster out. If the big monster didn't show up, they would never be able to investigate the truth.
"How do you know that he is a great demon who has practiced for thousands of years?" Leng Qingning was very curious about this. Could it be that Yan Ci knew this great demon? How did he recognize him?
"Are you a cultivator, woman? You don't even know the most basic common sense of the cultivation world. How can a demon that can curse an entire city be just an ordinary demon?"
Maybe they can get more clues about Lucheng from the person who cast the curse, but it would probably not be easy to find the person who cast the curse.
"If you want to lift the curse, you must find the person who cast the curse and kill him, then you can break the curse on him." Yan Ci's words came from her head.
"Is there no other way?"
"There is only this one way, you can use it or not." In fact, there is another way, that is, when he is at his peak, he can use his own blood to forcibly break the power of the curse. He possesses the pure blood of the ancient Teng Snake and the bloodline of the Demon King, so he can easily break the curse of the cat demon.
But now, because he was sealed all over and was tied to this woman, his cultivation was limited to the Golden Core stage of humans. He was unable to forcibly break the curse of the thousand-year-old cat demon.
Leng Qingning felt a little worried after hearing this. The whole city was almost deserted now. They had been searching for half a day but couldn't find anyone. There were only wild cats on the streets. The only teenager they met had run away. How could they find the person who cast the curse?
Could it be that they were going to follow those wild cats? But how could she warn everyone to be on the lookout for these cats?
Upon hearing this, Yan Ci raised his little snake head slightly. He didn't expect that this stupid woman could be so smart and understand everything at once.
"Yan Ci, do you know how to lift the curse and save these people?" If it was really as she guessed, it would make sense.
"Why would you save them? If they deserved it, why would you insist on saving them?" Yan Ci raised his small black head in confusion and continued, "Have you ever thought about why a great demon who has cultivated for thousands of years and is about to become an immortal would place such a vicious curse on humans at this moment?"
"It's extremely difficult for demons to cultivate. Generally, demons that have cultivated to this level will cherish their cultivation and won't easily do such irrational things. But what would you do if you caught that demon?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Leng Qingning felt that the monster he was talking about was very different from what she usually heard about.
Should she believe Yan Ci's words?
To be honest, she was very scared now. After all, she was a person who valued her life very much. After hesitating for a while, she took a deep breath and said.
"Since this is a test for me, I must do my best to complete it. Regardless of whether the demon has committed a crime against nature and harmed these innocent people, or whether these people have done something wrong and angered the demon, I must find out the truth!"
"What if these people did something wrong to the monster? Do you think you, the cultivators, will clear the monster's grievances?" Yan Ci's tone was full of mockery.
Since ancient times, humans and demons have been incompatible. These hypocritical human monks always like to use the banner of justice to cruelly hurt their people indiscriminately. Many little demons who have never done anything bad have died tragically under their cold swords.
When those little demons knelt down and begged the monks to spare their lives, they were only met with even more cruel mockery and torture.
These crappy monks still like to righteously flatter themselves afterwards, claiming that they are eliminating harm to the people.
If it weren't for the insidious humans, he wouldn't have been suppressed in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss for five hundred years. When he recovers his cultivation, he will make these human cultivators who oppressed his demon clan pay the price.
Leng Qingning was caught off guard by Yan Ci's sudden hostility, but then she thought about it and realized that there was an uncivilized rule in the world of cultivation - all monsters must be killed. If she looked at it from Yan Ci's perspective, she could understand his hatred.
In fact, she is a timid and weak person by nature, and doesn't like fighting and killing all day long. However, she was transported to this world of cultivation full of blood and gore.
She couldn't help but sigh. She was just an unknown little person and could not change the current situation in the world of cultivation. All she could do was to prevent the innocent monsters she met from being killed within her ability.
Ever since Yan Ci got angry, he hasn't spoken a word. Leng Qingning took the opportunity to find Ye Qingzhu and secretly told her her guess.
Ye Qingzhu immediately glanced around, then pulled her to a corner and asked quietly, "Xiao Qingning, how did you suddenly think that those cats were transformed from humans?"
Leng Qingning was a little confused. How should she start? In fact, she was not very familiar with Senior Sister Ye. Could she really trust Senior Sister Ye?
As if sensing her concerns, Ye Qingzhu swore on her cultivation: "Xiao Qingning, please rest assured. I swear on my cultivation that I will never reveal any of your secrets, nor will I do anything to your detriment. Just say whatever you want to say."
Swearing on one's cultivation level is the most serious oath in the world of cultivation. She did not expect Ye Qingzhu to go to such lengths. Seeing that Senior Sister Ye was so sincere, she naturally stopped worrying about it.
"It's like this, Senior Sister Ye, I actually contracted a spirit beast. He told me all this, and he also smelled the breath of a curse on that young man. Little Yanyan said that this kind of curse can only be cast by a great demon-level demon."
She simply put all the blame on Yan Ci.
Who is Xiao Yanyan? Don’t call me Xiao Yanyan, you damn stupid woman!
A little black snake, which was angry, suddenly protested.
Ye Qingzhu looked at her seriously. Little Qingning was very different from the others. She was so cute~ (she wagged her tail happily in her heart)
Then Ye Qingzhu said thoughtfully: "Your spirit beast is right. The one who can cast such a strong curse must be a powerful demon who has cultivated for more than 700 years."
It seems that Xiao Qingning’s contracted beast is not simple. She suddenly remembered the terrible man who appeared beside Leng Qingning last time.
Could the contracted beast Xiao Qingning was talking about be that scary guy?
