It's a bit embarrassing to say, although Xue Huan founded the Sanhuan Sect and served as the sect leader, he was actually not in the sect most of the time. Apart from providing supplies on time, most of the sect's affairs were handled by Feng Ying, the deputy sect leader.
Moreover, Feng Ying did not neglect his cultivation. In just less than two years, he had already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, which can be said to be very fast.
If nothing big happened, Feng Ying would not disturb her easily. Now hearing her voice so anxious, it was obvious that she was panicking.
"Don't worry, I'll be right there."
Xue Huan rode on a dragon boat and disappeared into the sky like a shooting star. She arrived at the sect in just half an hour.
Compared to the past, the current Sanhuan Sect has changed a lot, but the architectural style still retains the original freshness and simplicity.
Xue Huan didn't have time to look around any further and went straight to the yard where Feng Ying lived.
Feng Ying was walking back and forth in the corridor, looking up at the sky from time to time. When she saw Xue Huan getting off a flying boat, she was stunned for a moment. However, she was no longer a novice in cultivating immortals, so she guessed that this should be a flying magic weapon and hurried to meet it.
"metropolitan!"
Xue Huan patted her shoulder soothingly, "Let's go inside and talk."
On the wooden couch by the window, there was a low table with a futon on each side. Xue Huan and Feng Ying sat opposite each other. "What's going on? Why did the disciple disappear?"
Feng Ying: "It probably started about three months ago. Young women were disappearing one after another in Linhai City. It happened that two disciples were at the foot of the mountain. They saw the task posted by the Demon Hunting Guild and took it. They went to investigate separately, but not long after, one of the disciples came back and said that the other disciple was missing.
"After I learned about it, I sent several more disciples to investigate, but this time, none of them were ever heard from again. They were all top-tier cultivators in the sect, not much behind me, yet they all disappeared. Not a single one has returned. I realized the seriousness of the matter and didn't dare send any more disciples to investigate. I immediately sent a message to you, Sect Master."
Xue Huan: "Don't they have communication talismans with them?"
"Yes, that's why I find it strange. They haven't sent any messages back. If this was man-made, that person's cultivation must be far superior to theirs, leaving them with no chance to send any messages."
The two disciples who first investigated the disappearance of the woman in Linhai City were Liu Fei and Liu Juan. It was Liu Fei who disappeared, and it was Liu Juan who came back to report the news.
Xue Huan asked Feng Ying to call Liu Juan over, intending to ask her some questions.
A moment later, Liu Juan came over. There was a large blue birthmark on her face. Her eyes were always lowered, not daring to look at anyone. "Greetings, Deputy Sect Leader."
She didn't know how to address Xue Huan.
Feng Ying said at the right moment: "This is the leader of our Three Suffering Sect."
Liu Juan couldn't help but feel surprised. Since she entered the sect, she had heard a lot about the sect leader. She didn't expect that she was so young and so beautiful.
She hurriedly saluted: "Master."
Xue Huan said gently, "Don't be nervous. I called you here to find out about Liu Fei's disappearance. Please sit down."
Liu Juan knelt down on the cushion below.
Xue Huan: "When did you find out Liu Fei was missing?"
Liu Juan took a deep breath and tried not to tremble as she spoke, "My senior sister and I were staying at an inn in the city. We went out to investigate separately that morning. When I returned to the inn that evening, my senior sister hadn't returned for a long time. I didn't know where to look for her that late at night. I waited all night but she still hadn't returned. So I immediately returned the next morning to tell Master."
Xue Huan: "How much do you know about the situations of those missing women?"
Liu Juan: "The youngest of those women was only thirteen years old, and the oldest was no more than eighteen. They were all unmarried and beautiful. Some of them disappeared suddenly on the street, while others disappeared at night and were not discovered until the next day by their families..."
After asking the questions, Xue Huan asked Liu Juan to get one of Liu Fei's personal belongings.
What Liu Juan brought was a hairband of Liu Fei.
Xue Huan took it.
After Liu Juan left, Xue Huan said, "I'm going to go to Linhai City myself to see who is so brazen as to kidnap so many women."
Feng Ying asked worriedly, "Sect Master, how about I go with you?"
"No, it's more convenient for me to be alone."
Arriving at Linhai City, Xue Huan put away the dragon boat and walked into the city. She burned the hairband and the tracking talisman together. The tracking talisman turned into a butterfly, leading the way for her.
About half an hour later, Xue Huan arrived in front of a magnificent mansion and Fu Die flew in.
It seems that the missing Liu Fei is in this house.
Xue Huan restrained her breath and sneaked into the house.
Although the house was full of flowers, it was deserted and empty.
She followed Fu Die and came to a dry well. When she looked into the well, she was so angry that she almost died!
There were several corpses piled up randomly in the well. All of them looked old and skinny, as if they had been drained of water by something.
However, looking at the clothes they were wearing, they were all brightly colored, the style worn by young girls. There was no doubt that these were the women who had disappeared before!
In the main hall, a naked man with a feminine appearance was sitting cross-legged in the hall, holding a woman who was also naked in his arms. Their lower bodies were connected, mouth to mouth, and a white gas invisible to ordinary people overflowed from the woman's mouth and was absorbed by the man.
As the white mist overflowed, the woman's skin became loose and old at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her face instantly aged many years.
When the woman was about to die, the man threw her away like a rag, saying dissatisfiedly: "Your cultivation is still too low. You can't do it after just two times of nourishment."
Compared with the skinny and old woman, the man's face was rosy, as if he had taken a tonic pill. He ignored the woman and started practicing naked, refining all the vital energy and spiritual power he had just taken away to increase his own cultivation.
Xue Huan came over with anger in her heart. Seeing the man's eye-catching look, she shot a cluster of flames at him with her fingertips without saying a word.
The man opened his eyes instantly, and when he saw the small flame, a sneer appeared on his face. He waved his hand casually, but to his shock, the flame was not extinguished by him, but grew a lot bigger, and it looked like a fire phoenix.
The fire phoenix flew around his arm, and his arm instantly turned into slag and was burned.
This Nirvana Divine Flame can even melt the divine stone, let alone his body that is just at the foundation-building stage?
The man watched helplessly as one of his arms turned to ashes in an instant. Before he could react, he felt a sharp burning pain in his lower body. He looked down and found that his life was gone!
He suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream.
