"Sir, there are families secretly watching our people."
In a secret place, several masked figures are gathering there.
After hearing the report from one of them, the leading man uttered a sound of surprise:
"Were they discovered so quickly? Which family is it? The Gongyang family?"
The person who reported it shook his head:
"It is a middle-class family called the Chen Family of the Burial Mountain. According to our people's inquiries, it took only about ten years for the Chen family to grow from an unknown small family to its current state. It is said that there are several inner-level martial artists in the family now. Yong'an City is under the jurisdiction of this family. The martial artists sent to this city by the alliance in recent days were discovered by this family."
"oh?"
After hearing the report from the person below, the leading man let out a sound of surprise and seemed to be thinking about something.
Someone below quickly spoke up:
"Sir, this city is remote, the Chen family is not strong, and is quite low-key. There are no high-level warriors in the Qi Control Realm in the family, and it seems that they have no connection with those upper-class families. Our alliance has just entered this place, why don't we secretly wipe out the Chen family and develop it into our alliance's base?"
As soon as these words came out, the other two people beside him also echoed:
“This method is very good.”
“I think it’s feasible.”
The leading man shook his head slowly after hearing this:
"Not yet. Don't forget the purpose of our visit. The current situation here is a great opportunity for our alliance to take action. We must not alert the enemy and lose the greater for the smaller."
After hearing this, the people below nodded slightly.
"Sir, what about the Chen family? How should we deal with it?"
"Don't worry about it. Since they haven't made any other moves, I think they don't know about our existence. Everything remains the same. Let the people below be more clever."
"clear!"
As the figures of several people disappeared, the place soon returned to silence.
…
"Did you sleep well last night, my friend?"
In Changliu Village, Chen Qinghe, who walked out of the wooden house, soon met the village chief of Changliu Village.
Facing the village chief's question, Chen Qinghe said:
"Thank you for your concern, Village Chief. Everything was fine last night. It's just that I accidentally twisted my waist when I got up last night. I'm afraid I won't be able to travel for the next few days. Alas."
After saying this, Chen Qinghe sighed.
The village chief was slightly stunned when he saw Chen Qinghe holding his waist, but then he smiled and said:
"What's the harm? If you don't mind, you can stay in my Changliu Village for the next few days."
"Thank you very much, Village Chief. I am Huang He. May I know your name?"
"My surname is Zhao, and everyone in my Changliu Village has this surname."
"I will bother you for the next few days."
After seeing the village chief leave, Chen Qinghe looked around and let out a chuckle.
Since the people from the Wu family don't want him to stay here, he will stay here. He wants to see what the people from the Wu family are up to.
Afterwards, Chen Qinghe settled down in Changliu Village. While observing the villagers, he also practiced some combat skills of the Xuehe Sect.
But according to my second uncle, if you want to bring these fighting skills out, you have to practice them to perfection, which is a bit too difficult.
You know, even with the family's current Taizu Changquan, many members are only at the advanced stage and have not yet reached perfection.
It seemed that there was an invisible gap between great success and perfection in combat skills, and even he did not fully understand it.
But he heard that Qing Meng had some unique understanding and progress in this fighting skill. After Qing Meng came out of seclusion, he could communicate with him.
After two days of observation, Chen Qinghe did not find anything significant.
However, he was sure that the person from the Wu family was hiding in the village. However, if he deliberately hid, Chen Qinghe would find it difficult to identify him in a short time.
But just as Chen Qinghe was practicing his fighting skills, there was a sudden sound of piled firewood falling to the ground outside the yard.
Hearing the noise, Chen Qinghe jumped out and soon saw the child who was secretly standing behind the firewood pile watching him practice fighting skills.
In the past two days, Chen Qinghe has already found out everything about the situation in the village.
This child is an orphan in the village. His name is Zhao Xiaohu and he lives with the village chief on weekdays.
After seeing that he was discovered, Zhao Xiaohu had a trace of shame on his face, but then he stared at Chen Qinghe and said:
"You are obviously a warrior, why did you lie to me, a seven or eight year old kid?"
Chen Qinghe laughed dumbly and could only explain:
“It’s so inconvenient to be away from home.”
"You are so concerned about whether I am a warrior. I guess you must have something to ask of me. Why don't you tell me?"
Zhao Xiaohu was surprised after hearing this:
"How do you know that?"
Chen Qinghe smiled but said nothing. He was not a fool. During his visits to the village over the past two days, he had discovered some clues. Now he might as well find out the reason from Zhao Xiaohu in front of him.
In the face of Chen Qinghe's smile, Zhao Xiaohu quickly said:
"Brother Huang He, I'm telling you this in secret, but don't let the village chief know."
"Our village is haunted!"
I thought Chen Qinghe would be shocked by these words, but Chen Qinghe looked calm after hearing them. This made Zhao Xiaohu couldn't help but say in surprise:
"Aren't you scared? It's haunted!"
As he spoke, Zhao Xiaohu didn't forget to gesture with his hands and make faces.
Chen Qinghe was speechless when he saw this. There were ghosts everywhere in the tribe, so what was there to be afraid of?
However, Zhao Xiaohu's words also made Chen Qinghe a little curious. Are there souls in this martial immortal world?
After Chen Qinghe's detailed questioning, Zhao Xiaohu quickly told him about the strange things that had happened in the village recently.
For example, there have been some miserable cries heard in the village at night recently, and the neighbor aunt often sees bright red bloody handprints on her window, and the domestic animals raised in the village would howl for no reason in the middle of the night, but when the villagers went to check, they found nothing.
"Why didn't I see it?"
Chen Qinghe raised a question in his heart, and Zhao Xiaohu explained after hearing it:
"These things don't happen every day, basically every few days. Many people in the village are troubled by this and are in a state of panic. It seems that the deaths of several villagers are also related to this."
After hearing this, Chen Qinghe fell into deep thought, and then whispered a few words into Zhao Xiaohu's ear.
After hearing this, Zhao Xiaohu showed fear and asked worriedly:
"Can I do it?"
Chen Qinghe smiled faintly:
"You don't even have this much courage, do you? How can you protect the safety of the village in the future?"
Zhao Xiaohu showed determination:
"Okay, I promise you!"
"Everything for the village!"
Seeing that Zhao Xiaohu's courage was easily aroused, Chen Qinghe laughed.
However, he was also quite curious about the ghosts in the village, and he also wanted to see what the ghosts in the village were.
As night fell, the villagers of Changliu Village went to rest early. The village was silent, with only the dim moonlight illuminating the scene.
