Chapter 84: Cave Remains

After Su Qingwu killed the attacker, he noticed the changes in the expressions of the remaining five people.

Some were horrified, with a hint of pity, while others were filled with disbelief.

She quickly guessed that the identity of the murdered person was not simple.

But she does not regret her move.

That man was the first to attack, and the sharp arrow he shot was clearly intended to take her life.

No matter what the other party thought, the fact was that it was natural for her to kill him back.

As for the identity issue, Su Qingwu did not plan to stay in this area for a long time. If he was chased by someone, he would fight if he could, and try to avoid it if he could not.

At this moment, among the five people in the distance, four had already fled far away from this area, and only a female cultivator in a emerald cloud skirt stayed behind temporarily.

I only heard the other party say:

"The man who died was the son of the head of the Xizhu Lan family, which is affiliated with the Qingyou Sect. If you encounter a cultivator from the Lan family in the future, be careful!"

After saying this, the female cultivator turned around, performed a body-lightening spell, and quickly left the place.

Su Qingwu secretly kept these words in mind and fled in another direction.

Just in case, she did not take the storage bag of the dead person.

Shortly after they left, more than a dozen beams of light came from afar and landed in the dense forest one after another.

The leader lays the foundation for perfect cultivation.

After seeing the corpse lying on the ground, the man's eyes were bloodshot and he roared a few times.

"Who killed my son? Who is it? Get out of here!"

The remaining twelve monks were much calmer, and at this moment they all released their consciousness to investigate the surroundings.

After a moment, one of them said in a deep voice:

"Master, according to the footprints on the ground, five people left in different directions."

"Chase them! Don't let any of them go!"

"yes!"

Ten of them followed the order, split into five groups, and quickly chased after the enemy following the existing traces.

The remaining two people stayed beside the owner and were on guard around him.

Not long after, the man half-kneeling on the ground took off the storage bag on the corpse, looked through his consciousness, and said with gritted teeth:

"Everything inside is intact. Nothing is lost. We cannot use secret techniques to track the enemy. Now it seems that this is most likely a revenge killing, not a treasure hunt."

After saying this, the young man standing on his right whispered:

"Could it be the Yang family of Pingchuan? Recently, we have had a lot of conflicts with this family because of the ownership of the 600 mu of spiritual farmland. Yesterday, three disciples of our family were ambushed by cultivators of the Yang family when they were out."

Hearing this, the man who was originally half-kneeling on the ground stood up suddenly, his black eyebrows raised, and he looked full of murderous intent.

"Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"

"Master, you were entertaining the distinguished guests from Qingyou Sect yesterday, and we didn't dare to disturb you..."

At this time, the monks who went to pursue the enemy returned one after another.

Except for the female cultivator in the emerald cloud skirt, the other four were captured.

When the head of the Lan family saw the identity tags hanging around the waists of two of the men, the murderous look on his face became even more intense.

"It's indeed Pingchuan Yang, you deserve to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and two red lights shot out, instantly beheading the two Qi-refining monks from the Yang family.

The remaining two people looked pale and trembled continuously.

If they hadn't been grabbed by the collars, they would have immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

At this moment, a member of the Lan clan said in a deep voice: "Master, I'm afraid there is another hidden story behind this matter."

"What do you mean?"

"The guy I arrested kept insisting on the way that it was a strange girl who killed Feng'er, not any of them."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Lan family looked at the trembling young man in white robes who was grabbed by the collar and held in the air, and said expressionlessly:

"What does the murderer you are talking about look like? What is his level of cultivation?"

The young man trembled and replied, "She is...slim, wearing a black dress, with fair skin, an oval face, and looks to be less than sixteen years old. And...she has a Taoist bun on her head. Anyway, she is quite beautiful. As for her cultivation...it seems that she is only...only at the fourth level of Qi Refining."

After he finished speaking, the member of the Lan clan next to him swung his sleeves and said angrily:

"This is sheer nonsense! How could you kill Feng'er with only the fourth level of Qi Refining? Could it be that you made up a lie to excuse yourself?"

The boy blushed and retorted:

"No, I didn't! This is indeed the case. If you don't believe me, I swear that if even a word I said is false, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

The oath is extremely binding. After hearing him say this, the Lan clan members present fell silent.

On the other side, the remaining eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator who was captured also nodded repeatedly at this moment, proving with his actions that what the young man said was true.

After half a cup of tea, with their detailed descriptions, the portraits of Su Qingwu and the female nun who was not caught were painted.

However, the two people in front of him did not escape with their lives.

In the eyes of the Lan clan, since they knew about this, they were most likely involved. Therefore, in line with the principle of rather killing someone by mistake than letting them go, they beheaded them with a single sword.

After getting the portrait, the Lan family mobilized all their elite forces to hunt down the two men.

......

At this moment, Su Qingwu was speeding all the way and approaching the Lotus Cave shown on the map.

There are countless caves of all sizes in the cave, with many stalactites and stalactites, and the end of the cave is as far as the eye can see.

Due to the special geological conditions, there are no plants or trees around, and the land is completely barren.

Su Qingwu walked into one of the caves and unexpectedly saw the remains of a person who had been in meditation for a long time.

The bones are jade-colored, and it is obvious that the owner of the remains had a strong cultivation base when he was alive.

When Su Wen saw the skeleton, he immediately revealed his figure. He looked at the broken sword covered with dust and engraved with the words "Hui Yu" next to the skeleton, and was stunned for a moment.

After a while, she came back to her senses and sighed softly:

"Thousands of years have passed, and those old acquaintances who failed to ascend to heaven probably all ended up like this."

Hearing this, Su Qingwu was a little surprised.

"Do you recognize this senior who passed away?"

Su Wen nodded slowly, "She is a fellow Taoist whom I met when I was traveling abroad. We are not very familiar with each other, but we are not strangers either."

"Then...would you like to bury his remains and erect a monument for this senior?"

"No, we can just seal this cave after we get out. It can be regarded as a natural sleeping place."

"good."

Su Qingwu nodded in agreement, then walked out of the cave with Su Wen and cast a spell to seal the entrance tightly.

There are no rare treasures in the Lotus Cave.

The two of them walked through all the caves and were about to leave when they suddenly heard a wave like water ripples on the road ahead.

Su Qingwu paused and subconsciously became alert.

After a moment, a female cultivator in a green cloud-like skirt appeared out of thin air.

At the same time, the ripple-like waves disappeared.

Seeing this, Su Wen immediately reacted and said, "It's a long-distance transmission talisman. This woman is one of the five people we met in the jungle before."

Su Qingwu also recognized the other person at this time, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Since the woman had kindly told her the identity of the person who had been killed, she did not show any hostility.

The long-distance teleportation talisman has a random teleportation location. It was probably a coincidence that I encountered it this time.
