Chapter 1276 Strong Smell of Blood
After hearing Wanwan's words, Wen Yun's expression became more serious.
"Really?"
To be honest, she didn't pay attention to what Wanwan said.
Perhaps it was because cultivators were inherently more sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual energy, and they actually had no special perception of these bloodstains.
But because Wanwan has stayed in the mortal world for a long time, she has such a strong reaction to the smell of blood.
Lu Xingwan did not answer her, but the determination in his eyes proved that this was not false.
Wen Yun pondered for a moment, as if he was really considering what he had encountered in this mountain village during this period of time.
"To be honest, although I have been in this village for some time, I have not found anything unusual."
"In the past, they really just lived by going down the mountain to steal some silver."
"Most of the time, they quarreled over the division of the spoils."
"But after I arrived, I was able to control them and prevent them from going down the mountain to steal any money."
She wanted to deal with theirs, too.
But then I thought, if I had such a group of younger brothers in the mortal world, it would be quite an honor.
So they were left behind.
Fortunately, because he had money, they were obedient and did not do anything to disobey him.
Including this time when I asked them to go down the mountain to bring the goddess back up the mountain, they obeyed my orders very well. I asked them to just tie the person up, and they did not attack anyone.
Wanwan nodded. She did not doubt what Wen Yun said, but she also knew that this matter would never be that simple.
It can't involve any immortal cultivators anymore, right?
But she had to investigate it anyway.
Regardless of whether it involves immortal cultivators, as Princess Yong'an, she should investigate the matter for the mortals.
After thinking for a moment, she looked at Wen Yun and Ji Yue beside her.
"You guys stay here for now. I'll go outside and take a look."
"Wen Yun, since it was you who did it, please help Ji Yue recover her spiritual power."
Lu Xingwan's words were vague, but Wen Yun understood what she meant.
Today, I was the one who let these bullies bring Ji Yue to the mountain, so I took action to block her spiritual power.
Now Ji Yue can be said to be powerless. Since it is her own doing, she should handle the matter well.
A hint of guilt flashed across her eyes and she nodded at Wanwan.
"Okay, go ahead without worry, I'll help Ji Yue pass on some spiritual energy here."
To be honest, she was still very grateful to Lu Xingwan.
She originally thought that this little girl was a straightforward person, but she didn't expect that she would actually consider her emotions.
If Ji Yue knew that I had attacked her today, I'm afraid she would be sad.
Seeing that Lu Xingwan had turned around and left, Wen Yun walked to Ji Yue's side, slowly squatted down, and began to carefully transfer his spiritual power into Ji Yue's body.
Ji Yue naturally adjusted her breathing and absorbed the spiritual power into her body.
Here, Wanwan followed the bloodstains on the ground and walked step by step into the depths of the dungeon.
She didn't expect that this dungeon was so deep.
This made her even more certain that there was a secret hidden inside.
As she walked deeper into the dungeon, she felt the smell of blood becoming stronger and stronger. Even the decayed atmosphere around her could no longer cover up the smell.
She mobilized her spiritual power and kept looking around.
Sure enough, there were a lot of blood stains on the wall.
These bloodstains lasted for a very long time. Some of them had already dried up, while others still had a hint of crimson.
So, someone must have gone on a killing spree.
If these bullies are only doing this for money, they shouldn't be doing this.
And now there is blood everywhere, which is even more strange.
Thinking of this, her steps became faster.
When she reached the corner, Wanwan suddenly stopped.
The ground in front of me was in a mess, and the bloody smell around me gradually faded.
However, there were some deep and shallow scratches on the shabby wooden box and the wall in front of him, and there were some messy footprints on the ground, which seemed like some conflict had occurred.
Moreover, these footprints look different from the shoes worn by those bullies.
It seems that besides these bullies, there are other people who have been here.
Wanwan's uneasiness grew stronger and stronger. She continued walking forward following the trail of blood.
Wanwan looked up again and saw a secret room with its door ajar not far away.
The gap in the door made Wanwan a little afraid to look directly at it.
But she knew that since she had come this far, she had no choice but to move on.
She took a deep breath, mobilized her spiritual power, and approached the secret room carefully. She had to deal with danger that might arise at any time.
When she opened the door, she was hit by a strong smell of blood.
It was obviously not of the same level as what she had just smelled.
The bloody smell even made it difficult for her to breathe.
The danger she had imagined did not appear before her, but in the secret room, there were several corpses lying all over the place.
It's the corpses of those bullies.
Lu Xingwan even saw the face of a person she saw in Wen Yun's room today on the faces of these lying, lifeless bullies.
In other words, the people outside look exactly the same as the people in this secret room now.
So, there is a group of people who are fake.
It is very likely that the people outside are pretending to be us.
Lu Xingwan frowned and took a few steps forward.
The wounds on the bodies were all caused by precise hits to vital parts, with clean and neat techniques.
The fear she had just felt no longer existed in her heart, instead she was filled with shock and fear.
She was considering Wen Yun's identity.
Did Wen Yun really enter this mountain stronghold by mistake and take control of it as she said, or did she lead people to occupy this mountain stronghold and kill all the former bullies?
Since Wanwan has been in the mortal world for a long time, he has become a person who knows etiquette.
These bullies have indeed violated the law, but there are laws to punish them.
It is really inappropriate to disregard human life in this way.
The mystery in Wanwan's mind became heavier and heavier. She suppressed her inner uneasiness and searched the secret room carefully, but found nothing.
Since the other party hid these people here, they were acting in secret.
What are the identities of those bullies I saw outside today?
Wanwan knew the importance of the matter. Now she didn't know who she was facing, so she couldn't expose herself easily.
Although the other party already knows the identities of himself and Ji Yue, as long as he pretends to be ignorant of these things, perhaps the other party will reveal something.
Thinking of this, she restored the secret room to its original state and then exited carefully.
It’s strange, if those bullies outside are cultivators, why don’t they install a barrier here?
Could it be that it is waiting for me to discover it?
