Yu Bie Liu walked back to his original position and sat down. "I didn't know there was a fifth-level vengeful ghost in Yangfeng City. It was an accident that it was brought out."
When the people in Yangfeng City heard this, they couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, this accident happened, causing the vengeful ghost to be exposed at this time.
If he waited until everyone from Yantian Sect left and the vengeful ghosts came out to do evil again, no one would be able to subdue them, and his foundation of Yangfeng City would probably be destroyed.
After understanding the reason why the fifth-level vengeful ghost appeared today and witnessing a farce, everyone needed to make sure that they could get more details from Feng Xing'er, Feng Cheng's daughter, to determine whether her words were credible.
Everyone turned their attention to Feng Xing'er who was sitting in the corner.
The little girl was a little startled, her whole body trembled for a moment, and she shrank back. The old man Ge next to her also stretched out his hand to block Feng Xing'er behind him.
The protective action was subconscious. When he reacted, Old Man Ge remained silent, but did not stop.
Having lived for most of his life, Old Man Ge has long been indifferent to matters of life and death. He feels that half of his body has already been buried in the ground, and it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive.
But Feng Xing'er couldn't do that. She was still young and hadn't truly experienced the world. She hadn't met anyone she cherished. Death was too cruel for her.
Old Man Ge understood that none of these people in front of him were people he, an ordinary old man working in a noodle shop, could afford to offend, but at this moment, he still chose to stand in front of Feng Xing'er.
Rao Zhu smiled and nodded, "There's no need to do this, old man. We're just asking some questions and we won't do anything to the little guy."
The most urgent task now is to find out the relationship between the vengeful ghost and Feng Cheng, and to find out whether there are other evil cultivators in Yangfeng City at this time, so as to ensure people's safety.
A little girl... As long as she's innocent, they won't do anything.
Feng Xing'er huddled in the corner. Upon hearing what Rao Zhu said, she shook her head vigorously, her face filled with fear. "I don't know...don't ask me!"
Zong Xiaoqing sighed and walked over. "Xing'er, don't be afraid. Just tell me what you know, okay?"
Seeing the familiar person, Feng Xing'er relaxed a little, but when she heard Zong Xiaoqing coming over and asking her what she knew, she was silent for a moment and lowered her head.
Dong Shao, stroking his white cat, spoke up unconsciously upon seeing this scene. "Uncle Ge, and Xing'er, we have the leaders of Yangfeng City and the leaders of Yantian Sect here. If you want to prove Feng Cheng's innocence, just say so."
A glimmer of light flashed in Uncle Ge's cloudy eyes. He was about to stand up and tell everything he knew about Feng Chengren, but he noticed the trembling girl behind him and fell silent.
Seeking justice for Feng Cheng is important, but not as important as seeking justice for the living.
But behind him, a weak girl's voice came, "...I'm telling you, please help me."
At this moment, Feng Xing'er's eyes were calm. She no longer had the ignorance and timidity she had when they first met. She no longer cried, nor did she have the spirit and energy that a child should have.
"Over the past six months, Daddy found a treasure map from a street stall. It was drawn on a scroll of animal skin, and it also pointed out the destination... the Nine Cold Cave Mansion."
"Dad guessed that this was left behind by a powerful cultivator. As long as he can find the cave indicated on the map, he can gain wealth and money, cultivation resources, change his current life, and become a powerful cultivator."
The world of monks is always filled with all kinds of so-called treasure maps, some true and some false, some true and some false, there is no definitive answer, but most people who can get them will choose to explore.
What if it’s true, what if I’m lucky, what if I succeed?
It was expected that Feng Cheng would have such an idea after obtaining a treasure map.
"I prepared for a while, and my father left me enough money, so I set out on my own."
Feng Xing'er tilted her head to look at the ground and was silent for a moment before continuing, "I don't know if Daddy found the cave. Maybe he did. He's a completely different person since he returned home after being away for more than ten days."
"Daddy is still as kind to me as before and still greets the neighbors with a smile. However, when I find him and ask him to play games with me, he no longer agrees with a smile like before. Instead, he says..."
"'Xing'er, play in the yard by yourself for a while and don't disturb Daddy from working!' He said that, completely ignoring my dissatisfaction, and locked himself in the house. I don't know what he was doing."
Feng Xing'er sniffed in frustration. "Daddy has been like this many times, ignoring me. This makes me even more curious about what Daddy is doing and what's in that room..."
"Dad went out that day. I don't know what he went to do, but I...went into the room that Dad didn't allow me to go into."
She raised her head and looked at everyone. "I first leaned over the crack in the door to take a look. The furnishings in the room were the same as before, no difference, except for some more blood... It was as if someone had spilled blood all over the room."
"I was a little scared, but I wanted to know what Daddy was doing hiding in the house instead of playing games with me. I pushed the door open and walked in, and then..." Feng Xing'er shuddered all over, "that black mass suddenly appeared and rushed towards me."
The black mass that Feng Xing'er was pointing at should be the vengeful ghost they encountered today.
In this case, this fifth-level vengeful ghost is indeed related to Feng Cheng. He brought it back from his treasure hunt, or to be more precise, from the Jiuhan Cave.
"...I felt like it wanted to eat me!" Feng Xing'er's expression showed fear, and she stroked her chest with one hand. "I was so scared, I didn't know what to do. My legs were so weak that I even forgot to run away."
"Luckily, my father came back. He picked me up and retreated to the door. He said to the black mass, 'If you dare to touch my daughter, we're both done for.' Then, I heard it laughing, and as it laughed, it disappeared."
By this point in Feng Xing'er's story, everyone had basically understood that the one who attacked hundreds of children in Yangfeng City was not Feng Cheng, but this fifth-level vengeful ghost.
That’s right. To be able to kidnap the children under the protection of so many monks, only with the strength of the fifth level and the special nature of the vengeful ghost can he do it without anyone noticing.
Before the contact, Yu Bie Liu said that the relationship between resentful ghosts and evil cultivators was two-way, and the priority was not fixed. The general outline of the whole incident was already clear.
Feng Cheng obtained the treasure map and found the cave, but was enslaved by a fifth-level vengeful ghost. He returned to Yangfeng City and committed many murders.
"That was the first time Daddy got so angry that he almost hit me!"
