Xu Xinrou nodded, picked up the little girl, and quickly left the scene.
The entire town's residents gathered around, completely surrounding Su Nian.
Some came with shovels, some with hoes, and some even rushed over with grilled fish.
Most of them were just ordinary residents, and many of them showed no signs of cultivation.
"The Three Lives Reincarnation Palm." Su Nian formed a hand seal and slowly chanted, "Three palms enter the mortal world—"
Among the top-grade Heaven-rank martial arts techniques created by Su Nian, only the third palm strike is the gentlest.
He didn't want to take the lives of these townspeople; he only needed to kill the parasitic demons inside them.
With a single palm strike, all the invading townspeople rolled their eyes back and collapsed to the ground unconscious.
Looking at the people lying on the ground, Su Nian's gaze fell on the only young man who hadn't fallen.
This person is Li Jing.
Su Nian was very sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual energy, and among everyone present, this person was the only one who was unusual.
Seeing how formidable Su Nian was, Li Jing turned to flee.
But how could Su Nian give Li Jing a chance to escape?
He simply reached out and pulled Li Jing into his hand.
"What's your name?" Su Nian asked.
Li Jing said tremblingly, "Reporting to the Immortal, my name is... Li Jing."
"Li Jing... what is your relationship with Ye Hua?" Su Nian asked.
"What... Ye Hua?" Li Jing asked, looking completely bewildered.
Um?
Su Nian frowned.
"It's Wang Mu."
"Oh~ you mean Lord Wang Mu?" Li Jing suddenly realized.
Seeing Li Jing's genuine reaction, Su Nian couldn't help but ponder.
Judging from his reaction... it doesn't seem like he's faking it. Did Ye Hua hide his true identity from them?
They've already planted parasitic demons in them, so why pretend?
If you're being this cautious, why come here to die?
"You know him? What did he do in Fenglan Town before?"
Li Jing swallowed hard, hesitating to speak.
Su Nian frowned and shouted angrily, "Speak! Otherwise, I'll take you to the Seven Star Sect and search your soul! If you talk now, I might spare your life, but if it really comes to that, your life will be in danger!"
Li Jing quickly changed his tune, saying, "I'll talk! I'll talk, okay?"
"Hurry up! I don't have the patience."
Li Jing was terrified and had no choice but to tell the whole story of everything that had happened after Ye Hua, also known as Wang Mu, came to Fenglan Town.
Upon hearing that Ye Hua had refined a hundred cultivators in the past month, they felt something was amiss.
It is certain that Ye Hua has indeed embarked on the path of cultivation of the unorthodox way, but what is puzzling is that since he has already worked so hard, why would he take the initiative to seek death?
He remembered Ye Hua's Destiny System.
The Destiny Shield is very strong; it doesn't seem fake.
If he hadn't mastered the fourth move of the Three Lives Reincarnation Palm, he probably still wouldn't have been able to break through that Destiny Shield.
Since the system is real, it's possible that it could give him some extremely dangerous item.
Damn it...
Su Nian covered her forehead, her mind in turmoil.
What exactly does Ye Hua want to do?
Is there some bigger conspiracy behind this illogical behavior?
Clenching her fists, Su Nian said to Li Jing, "Lead the way! To the room he used to stay in!"
"Oh, okay, sir, please follow me."
Su Nian followed Li Jing to the largest inn in Fenglan Town and found the guest rooms that Ye Hua used to refine the cultivators.
The guest room was very simple, with only a bed, a table and a stool. If Li Jing hadn't mentioned before that this was a place Ye Hua used to refine other cultivators, even Su Nian would probably have thought it was just an ordinary guest room.
"Are you sure he committed the crime here?" Su Nian frowned.
Li Jing hurriedly replied, "It's absolutely true, sir!"
Su Nian looked around and carefully examined every corner of the room.
Forget about any traces of refining, this place is so clean it's as if no one has ever lived here!
"We can't find a single trace... It seems there are no useful clues here either." Su Nian thought for a moment, then said to Li Jing, "Take me to your house to take a look!"
"Okay, sir, please follow me."
I followed Li Jing to his house again. This was the first place Ye Hua had visited after escaping from Holy Fire City.
Su Nian carefully examined every corner of the room, but still couldn't find any trace left by Ye Hua.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Am I really overthinking things?
Li Jing leaned closer to him and asked obsequiously, "Um... sir, are you satisfied with the result?"
Su Nian pondered for a moment, then spoke to Li Jing, before suddenly striking! She slammed her palm against the ceiling! The house instantly turned to dust!
Li Jing was stunned. He stared at the house, which had been perfectly fine just moments before, suddenly turning into dust and falling to the ground. His mouth was agape in shock, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
He grabbed Li Jing by the collar and returned to the entrance of Fenglan Town to meet up with Xu Xinrou.
Upon seeing Su Nian again, Xu Xinrou leaned forward and asked, "How did it go? Did you find any clues?"
Su Nian shook her head. "No, but if I had to say what's unusual, it's that it's too clean; there's not a single trace."
"this……"
She glanced at Li Jing, who was being held by Su Nian, and asked, "So what do you plan to do next?"
“Ye Hua is extremely cunning. I believe there must be a trap behind his suicide attempt! Fenglan Town is his base. If he has a backup plan, it will probably be somewhere in this town,” Su Nian said.
