Before the secret realm was fully over, Qifei dragged Xiuluo away.
She explored everything inside, and with Shura around, there wasn't much danger.
"Master, when we arrive at the trial grounds, you are not allowed to make a move. I want to try it myself."
Qifei and Shura protested that if Shura still intervened, she would not be able to experience the joy of completing the mission at all.
Moreover, she's become quite daring now. With Shura as her backup, she's itching to try out the spells she's learned.
Who didn't dream of being a fantasy hero when they were a kid?
Now that she's in this world and possesses such powerful skills, it would be a real waste not to use them.
She made this request, and Shura naturally didn't care. Anyway, with him watching over things, there wouldn't be any problems.
The trial took place in a town.
People were hearing that people were going missing in town. No one would notice if one person was missing, but the repeated disappearances raised alarms.
The village chief, who was in charge of maintaining order in the town, also looked worried.
"Immortal, you may not know this, but before you arrived, another one of us went missing."
"What are the characteristics of the missing people?" Qifei asked curiously.
"Characteristics?" The village chief paused, pondered for a moment, "I wonder if it counts if all the missing are able-bodied young men."
"Yes." Qi Fei nodded, her curiosity even greater. "You mean all the missing people were young adults? No elderly, children, or women?"
“Yes, that’s right, not all of them are strong young men.” The village chief nodded affirmatively.
If so many young adults hadn't just vanished without a trace, how could they have become alert?
After all, they could understand if women and children went missing under normal circumstances.
After all, the child traffickers were very brazen, and even with repeated precautions, they couldn't stop them.
But this time it's different; all the missing people are young, strong men, which is very puzzling.
If they were targeting young women, why would they think of abducting a young, strong man? Besides, men are generally larger and not as easy to carry as women and children.
This matter cast a shadow over the town, like a boulder weighing on everyone's hearts.
Men are afraid of disappearing themselves, and women are afraid of their men disappearing. If the pillar of a family is gone, they really don't know what to do.
"Have you reported this to the authorities?"
Although Qifei also found it strange, and thought that perhaps the kidnapping was done in a mysterious way, the government also made offerings to them.
If the government were to intervene, there shouldn't be such a continuous loss of personnel, right?
“We reported it as soon as it happened,” the village chief said with a wry smile. “But the county magistrate said that the deity is not here, so there is no way to find out if there is a monster causing the trouble.”
Although the offerings are made by the government, they cannot stop people from going out to seek opportunities.
They come to these kinds of things just to go through the motions; they can't find anyone there, so it's all for nothing.
When the person went missing, did you hear any noises or sounds?
"It's impossible for a grown man to disappear without a trace, is it?"
Moreover, this isn't the first time someone has gone missing. Aren't those men vigilant?
If everyone is vigilant, they should always leave some clues.
The village chief hesitated for a moment, then said, "There's something that might be a clue, but someone found some things at the scene of the disappearance."
"What is it?" Qi Fei raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling that this might be the key to the matter.
"It looks like a tuft of hair." The village chief hesitated, unsure, before asking, "Would the immortal like to take a look?"
"Okay, bring it here so I can take a look."
Qifei watched the village chief leave, then turned to Xiuluo and asked, "Master, what do you think is causing this? Is it really a demon?"
"Didn't you say you'd check it yourself? What happened?" Shura remained leaning back in his chair without saying a word, watching Qifei investigate.
Qi Fei couldn't help but widen her eyes. "Damn, this master is too much! She said she had to complete the task herself, and she really didn't even allow us to discuss it?"
She turned her head away angrily, hmph, fine, she won't tell me then, she can find out the truth on her own.
Shura chuckled lightly, but didn't actually speak to Qifei.
This trial is meant to train the disciples' abilities. If Qifei can solve this problem through her own observation, it means she can adapt to this world perfectly.
This world is different from any other; it is more dangerous than any world before.
Having great power means having more danger.
He can protect Qifei, but what if she encounters danger when she is alone?
Most importantly, her identity in this world seems to bring some trouble, and she must have the ability to protect herself.
No one can say for sure whether the dangers faced by the dragons will fall on the smaller dragons.
The village chief walked over quickly with some things in his hands and handed them to Qifei.
Qifei looked curiously at the object in her hand. It was a tuft of cat hair, and it did indeed have a faint demonic aura attached to it.
Her eyes flickered. "Village chief, I wonder if I could have some of this? I need it as a starter."
Ordinary people might really have no way to do it, but those who cultivate have more methods.
The village chief nodded quickly, "Of course, please feel free to use it, Immortal."
Qifei didn't stand on ceremony, picked up a few cat hairs, and made a hand seal.
Cat hair spontaneously combusted in the air without wind. Qi Fei slightly opened her eyes and said, "I've got it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qifei flew away.
She just used a scent-based attraction technique; after the cat hair spontaneously combusted, a faint trace would appear.
The owner of this cat's fur will have its movements in the town become particularly noticeable.
Of course, this trajectory is invisible to others, only to the person casting the spell, and it lasts for a very short time, which is why Qifei threw out a sentence and rushed over immediately.
The village chief felt a gust of wind pass by, and the two immortals who were sitting there had disappeared.
He smacked his lips. Sure enough, the immortals were capable; they could find things as soon as they arrived.
Hopefully, the immortals can resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Qifei followed the faint demonic aura all the way, and when the aura disappeared, she lit a few more cat hairs and finally found the place.
Despite it being daytime, the dense forest was unusually dark.
The demonic aura abruptly stopped in the dense forest, leaving Qifei stranded there.
She gripped her longsword tightly and cautiously entered the woods.
There was no sound in the dense forest, not even the chirping of birds, which made Qifei even more vigilant.
"So, who is this person? Such a big entourage, turns out they're sending me a man?"
Her charming laughter seemed deliberate, with a hook in her voice, as if to ensnare you.
"Don't hide your true colors, come out if you dare." Qi Fei narrowed her eyes, secretly annoyed by what the voice said.
What nonsense! Giving her a man? Are you tired of living? Don't you even know who she is, daring to steal her man!
