Qingshan Town seems to be particularly noisy tonight, a little different from usual.
The reason was that the real murderer who killed dozens of people had been caught and was now lying tied up in the mayor's house. The person who caught the real murderer was the young Taoist priest who had just arrived in the town two days ago.
When the people in the town heard the news, they didn't even bother to rest. They hurriedly dressed and rushed to the mayor's house. When they looked inside, they saw the murderer tied up tightly with a thick rope in the mayor's yard. At this moment, he was struggling on the ground. When they looked closely, they found that the man was actually the Taoist Fang who had come to the town not long ago and asked the people for a thousand high-quality spirit stones to help them catch the demon cultivator.
Everyone's face was filled with shock. No matter how hard they tried to figure out, they couldn't understand how the murderer could become the one who caught the murderer overnight.
Lu Ming, who was standing nearby, took out the small peeping mirror from his bosom, and the noisy crowd immediately quieted down. Lu Ming said to the mayor, "This mirror is a small peeping mirror. Just shine the mirror on the shadow of Taoist Fang, and you can know his movements in the past three days."
The mayor nodded and said respectfully, "Master, let's start now."
Lu Ming nodded and recited a few mantras silently. Then, the small mirror immediately released a light blue light. The light became stronger and stronger. Lu Ming raised the mirror and shone it towards Taoist Fang who was struggling in front of him. In an instant, the sound of someone talking was heard in the mirror. When the blue light gradually dissipated, an image that shocked everyone appeared on the mirror.
The person who appeared in the mirror was Taoist Fang. He was standing on the stone road on the west side of the town with a sinister smile on his lips. He put a pill emitting a faint green light in his hand into the mouth of the man lying on the ground. It seemed like in the blink of an eye, and the man lying on the ground immediately woke up, twitching all over.
"This is... Auntie Wang's son Wang Qiu!" At this moment, a cry of surprise broke out in the crowd. Everyone hurriedly cast their eyes on the person in the mirror, and it was indeed Wang Qiu who was murdered a few days ago.
Taoist Fang in the small mirror saw Wang Qiu struggling, but his expression did not change at all. Instead, he squatted down and said with a cold smile: "This Soul Dissolving Pill is very precious, so don't struggle."
Wang Qi's expression was distorted because of the pain. He stared at the person who hurt him. He stretched out his hands and tightly grasped the robe that Taoist Fang was wearing. He groaned in pain, and the skin on his body turned purple in just a few seconds. He looked extremely horrible.
The Taoist priest snorted coldly, pried open Wang Qiu's fingers one by one, stood up and watched him struggling in pain on the ground. In less than ten minutes, Wang Qiu screamed and then turned into a pool of blood. Only a pile of clothes was left on the ground.
Taoist Fang bent down, found the core from the pile of clothes, and carefully placed it in the porcelain bottle. He said with a slightly smug look on his face, "What a bunch of idiots! By the time you gather the 1,000 high-quality spirit stones and hand them over to me, I'll have collected enough cores. This is really a great way to kill two birds with one stone, hahaha!"
Taoist Fang's laughter was harsh and unpleasant, echoing in everyone's ears and making everyone indignant. They all glared at him, wishing they could rush up to him and stab him with a knife to vent their anger and resentment.
Immediately afterwards, Taoist Fang used the same method to kill more than a dozen people from Qingshan Town. The causes of their deaths were almost exactly as Lu Ming had expected. It was indeed because they were fed the Soul-Dissolving Pill by Taoist Fang.
Lu Ming glanced at Taoist Fang coldly, his eyes icy: "What else do you have to say?"
Taoist Fang's face turned pale, but he still struggled to say, "I am from Kun-Lai Mountain. If you dare to touch me, you have to ask the Kun-Lai sect whether they agree or not!"
Lu Ming smiled faintly, but his eyes were calm: "I have never been afraid of anyone in my life. It is useless for you to show off Kun-Lai Summit. Instead, it makes me feel that Kun-Lai, as the number one sect in the world of cultivation, can produce a scum like you. It is simply a shame for the sect. Today I will clean up the mess for your Kun-Lai Summit."
The fear in Master Fang's eyes grew even stronger. He struggled and roared, "How dare you!"
Lu Ming raised a cruel smile, took out a long sword from the space ring, and pointed it at Taoist Fang: "Why not?" After that, his eyes turned cold, he raised the long sword and stabbed straight at Taoist Fang.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, a gentle voice came from the side. Lu Ming's face froze, and he quickly retracted his sword, stepped back a few steps, and looked towards the place where the voice came from with a wary look, his eyes cold.
The tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a young man in a blue robe walked in slowly. His eyebrows were calm, his eyes were gentle and gentle, and he exuded a kind of ethereal temperament. His appearance seemed real and illusory. Although he was very close, he didn't look very real when he looked closely, as if he was covered by a layer of fog, making people feel like they were in a dream.
Lu Ming's heart trembled, and he quickly gathered his mind. This person was not simple, and his rank was at least in the middle and late stages of the Spirit Severing Realm, which was much higher than his own. He didn't know if he was an enemy or a friend. If he was an enemy, with his current strength, he had no chance of winning at all, which was a bit dangerous.
Lu Ming was thinking this in his heart, but suddenly he sensed that the soul-fixing magic weapon on his wrist had moved. He was a little confused, and said to Ming Duo calmly: "What's wrong?"
Mingduo suddenly laughed a few times, his whole body trembling. After a long time, he suppressed his inner impulse, his eyes reddened, and squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "It was this person who caused my family to be destroyed."
Lu Ming was shocked when he heard this. How could such a coincidence happen? He actually ran into his enemy here?
Lu Ming suppressed his astonishment and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Ming Duo sneered, and then said: "My two souls are probably still in his hands. Don't alarm him for now. He is good at disguising himself and making excuses. You can only take your time and not rush. Remember to be more careful and don't be fooled by his sweet words."
Lu Ming's expression became serious, and he said, "I have reinforced this soul-fixing magic weapon with several layers of talismans. I think he should not be able to sense your breath. You must not make any big movements. If he finds you, it will be troublesome."
Mingduo hummed in a depressed tone, and indeed, he restrained his breath, shrank into the magic weapon and stopped talking.
The young man seemed to see Lu Ming's vigilance. He walked forward and smiled, saying, "My fellow Taoist, I am a Taoist from Kun-Lai Mountain. This Taoist Fang's original name is Fang Xu. He is a second-class disciple of Kun-Lai. He has committed such a serious crime today. How can the cultivation world tolerate him? But, can you hand this person over to Kun-Lai Mountain for punishment? Kun-Lai Mountain will definitely handle it impartially and will not show favoritism."
Taoist Fang opened his eyes and saw the man's face. His expression suddenly became distorted. The fear in his eyes seemed to have reached its limit. His whole body trembled involuntarily. After a long time, he uttered a word: "Palm, palm..."
Before he could finish his words, Taoist Fang suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.
Seeing this, Lu Ming thought to himself that this person must have a high status in Kun-Lai Summit, otherwise this Taoist priest would not have reacted so strongly. Lu Ming calmed down, glanced at him, and said calmly: "How can I believe that you will never be partial to him? After all, he is from your Kun-Lai."
The man was not angry, but smiled and said, "This person committed crimes and killed several people. His methods were extremely cruel. Kun-Lai will never protect him and will definitely punish him according to the sect's rules. If you don't believe me, why don't you come with me to Kun-Lai?"
Lu Ming said calmly: "I don't have the final say on this matter. You can discuss it with the mayor. If he agrees, I have no objection."
The man immediately nodded to the mayor and said, "Can you hand this man over to me to deal with? I can let this Taoist priest accompany me to Kun-Lai to supervise, and I will definitely give Qingshan Town an explanation."
The mayor pondered for a moment, then nodded, bowed to Lu Ming, and pleaded, "Kun-Lai is the largest sect in the world of cultivation. I don't think they will go back on their word. Please go with us to take a look. This will also be an explanation to the dead people. I hope you will agree to this. The people of Qingshan Town will remember your kindness and virtue forever."
Lu Ming walked forward, helped the mayor up, and said gently, "Mayor, there is no need to be so polite. I will go to Kun-Lai Summit with him now."
The mayor had tears in his eyes and said gratefully, "Please tell me your name, so that I can always be grateful for your kindness."
Lu Ming smiled faintly and said, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."
At this moment, before the mayor could ask any more questions, Lu Ming's expression suddenly changed, and he turned and ran out the door. After running for a while, he suddenly stopped, turned back and said to the man in a hurry: "I met an old friend, I will come to find you tomorrow to go to Kun-Lai together."
After saying that, he flew away again. His movements were smooth and fast, and he soon disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
Lu Ming used his spiritual energy to fly quickly towards the east. His heart was still beating violently and his body was even shaking slightly due to nervousness. His eyes were shining with excitement, which was dazzling even in the dark night.
Lu Ming's heart was filled with emotions, and he couldn't help but clench his fists. There was no mistake. The faint aura he sensed in the yard just now must have been Jing Mo!
Lu Ming pursed his lips tightly, and the release of his spiritual energy reached an unprecedented intensity, and his flying speed became faster and faster. The faint breath was becoming weaker and weaker, and he had to catch up with Jing Mo before the breath completely disappeared.
But to Lu Ming's disappointment, time passed by minute by minute, and even after half an hour, he still couldn't catch up with the person in front. He had used too much spiritual energy to deal with the affairs of Qingshan Town tonight, and now he was using it so recklessly, which had overdrawn him too much. Lu Ming's face became paler and paler, and his body gradually felt weak. The pain like a needle gradually spread throughout his body, but he still endured the pain, gritted his teeth, and continued to chase forward.
Lu Ming ran for a while, but still couldn't catch up with the person in front of him. His body had reached its limit. Lu Ming felt a sudden rumble in his brain, a buzzing in his ears, and his body could no longer support himself. He slowly fell from midair to the ground. His legs softened, and he couldn't help but half-kneel on the ground. His chest rose and fell violently, and he gasped heavily. His chest hurt so much, and a sweet and fishy taste filled his entire mouth. A trace of blood dripped down the corner of his mouth.
Lu Ming clenched his fists tightly, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and his heart was filled with pain. Just now, Jing Mo's breath had completely disappeared.
In the ten years of searching without interruption, he had never felt vulnerable for a moment, but at this moment, Lu Ming felt sad and powerless for the first time, and his vision suddenly became a little blurry. After a long time, Lu Ming reached out to wipe his face, and found that his face was covered with tears without him noticing.
"Why are you chasing me?" Suddenly, a low voice came from behind.
When Lu Ming heard the voice, he was suddenly shocked and his body couldn't help shaking. He didn't even have time to wipe away his tears. He quickly turned around and looked at the person behind him.
The man was wearing a black gown, his face was handsome and indifferent, his eyes were as sharp as swords, and his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was really puzzled by Lu Ming's behavior.
The urgency and excitement in Lu Ming's eyes suddenly died down when he saw the other person's face clearly. He turned away dejectedly, his eyelids drooping in disappointment, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and he murmured in a low voice: "It's not him..."
