Chapter 248 Blind Spot



Single spiritual roots are indeed extraordinary, and long-term stagnation in cultivation will almost never happen to them.

If only she could recover her spiritual roots. The easiest way is the beast soul, which is not dangerous.

Unlike refining spiritual roots, if you are lucky, they will recover, but if you are unlucky, the spiritual roots may be damaged.

Sadly, who knows where to find them.

She has the five elements spiritual roots, but according to legend, there are only four high-level mythical beasts with single attributes in the world, namely the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise, which correspond to water, gold, fire, and earth respectively.

Only after she cultivates to the immortal level will the soul have any effect on her.

Li Yiru suffered serious damage to her four spiritual roots, and only the grade of her wood spiritual root did not drop too much.

Luckily, she got two divine beast souls. She guessed that they were left for her by the goddess?

But no one knows where the other two are. Have they been taken away by other destined people, or have they disappeared into the world?

Just as she was about to say something, Li Yirou suddenly received a message from Situ Chuan, "Hasn't it been found yet?"

"Something happened in the sect, I have to go back." She had been out for three or four days, and Situ Chuan probably saw that there was no news from her, so he started asking.

After solving the problem of Linxian Village, she can rest assured to avoid further investigations on her. She doesn't want to be exposed.

Ji Shiyan looked at her, "Your senior brother?"

Li Yirou nodded slightly. She had been trying to avoid the question, not wanting him to have wild thoughts. Unexpectedly, it was guessed right away.

He fell silent. In the past, Situ Chuan never took the initiative to look for her, but recently he seemed to be doing so more frequently.

"You've only been out for one day, and he just happened to look for you?" Ji Shiyan looked inquiringly.

But she had actually been out for several days, and Ji Shiyan discovered her blind spot so quickly.

"What a coincidence," Li Yirou said softly, "You have things to do too, and besides, we'll see each other again soon."

Ji Shiyan's eyes were filled with reluctance, and he kissed her gently. "I'll come find you after the sect has dealt with the matter of Qingyun City."

He sent Li Yiru to the teleportation array, and the two parted ways. Ji Shiyan watched her disappear into the teleportation array without moving for a long time.

"Hello fellow Taoist, my name is Li Yiru. I heard about something happening in Linxian Village and I need your help in the investigation." She returned to Wuji City and came to the Immortal Alliance office to ask a cultivator.

The other party flipped through the files and seemed to have found the record. He said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment." He then sent a message using the communication jade slip and said to her, "Follow me."

Li Yirou followed him into a room in the backyard. The man asked her to wait, then closed the door and left her alone in the room.

The room looked like a conversation room, dimly lit, with two chairs and a square table in the middle.

The spiritual energy here was thin, and she waited for half an hour and began to get impatient.

He tapped the desktop lightly with his fingertips, and finally wandered in his mind, using his spiritual consciousness to draw patterns for cultivation.

The room was small and had a formation set up inside. Her spiritual consciousness was also trapped, so she could only draw within the confines of the room. She couldn't draw any large patterns, so she just drew small cartoons.

Until Li Yirou performed a sword-fighting competition, the door was finally pushed open.

A young female cultivator who looked very gentle came in. She had a smile on her face, but Li Yirou could see shrewdness and competence in her eyes.

She thought her senior brother would really come, but it turned out that he was just trying to scare her. It seemed that he really enjoyed silently appreciating other people's dilemmas.

Li Yiru and the female cultivator exchanged greetings.

"Fellow Daoist Li?" She first asked for some personal information of Li Yiru, checked it, and confirmed that she was the real person.

The female cultivator's tone was also gentle. Before she could speak, she said directly, "Although there are many people in Linxian Village, they have neglected you in the past. Your revenge is understandable, but it is a bit cruel. Perhaps some punishment is unavoidable."

It was probably Li Yiru, the only surviving member of her uncle's family who married into the neighboring village, who told her situation, so the Immortal Alliance almost confirmed that it was her.

But at this moment, the female cultivator spoke lightly, as if the punishment was not severe, but in fact she was just trying to trick people.

She didn't agree with the nun's words, and she was indeed confused, "Revenge on the whole village?"

Li Yirou was silent for a moment, then began to explain, "Yes, I once killed three people from Linxian Village. They were my relatives, and they often tortured me when I was young. Later, when I returned to the village to hunt sea beasts, they insulted me as well. In a fit of rage..."

The female cultivator was surprised and asked her, "What about the other people in the village?"

"Others? I can swear on my inner demon that, apart from these three, I have never used any means to harm anyone else in the village. Otherwise, I will be haunted by my inner demon and become a mortal."

The female cultivator saw that it was really not her, and the oath was comprehensive, including any means to find a murderer. It seemed that the village massacre had nothing to do with her?

She inquired about the situation in the village, and Li Yirou gave a brief recollection. "I have a friend named Li Xifeng. Did she get into trouble too?"

The female cultivator glanced at her and took out the booklet to check. Although she was answering her question, it was obvious that her thoughts had drifted away. She was probably analyzing who else would do such a thing.

"I'm not sure. The body count doesn't add up, but your friend is probably gone."

Li Yirou asked in confusion, "The body count doesn't match?"

The female cultivator said in a deep voice, "Yes, there are 26 registered households in Linxian Village, which should have a population of 95. All of them are dead or missing, but something must have happened. Only 91 bodies have been found."

"The cause was the burning of spiritual fire, which had an extremely high temperature. Spiritual fires should not be ignited at will in the mortal world. All corpses should have been reduced to ashes under the burning of the spiritual fire. But for some reason, they were extinguished after being burned to death." The female cultivator said this with a slightly puzzled look in her eyes, but not too heavy.

"Since it wasn't you, and there are no other clues, you can leave." She looked back at Li Yirou, her businesslike attitude restored. "Please leave two more communication talismans. We may need to inquire further, and you may have to make another trip."

After asking her questions, the female cultivator kindly shared some of the investigation results with her, but unfortunately Li Yiru was unable to provide her with any more clues.

The Immortal Alliance's work attitude was surprisingly good. The female cultivator had a higher level of cultivation than her, but was also very approachable.

But Li Yirou was also confused and couldn't find the answer for a while.

There were 95 people in the village. She witnessed with her own eyes that Xifeng's family was burned by the raging fire and their ashes turned into dust and blown away by the wind. So there should be 92 bodies. Why was there one missing?

Did someone come back from an outing and discover this? But the female cultivator just now said that it was not until a long time later that people from the neighboring village passed by and discovered the charred corpses scattered all over the ground.

Does that mean there are still people in the village who escaped from this unexpected disaster?

But who could it be and why is there no news reported?

Among all the people in the village, only Xifeng had his meridians opened up by her, and his body was stronger than others.

If she didn't escape, there's no way anyone else could escape.

But what if the person who escaped was Xifeng?

She deliberately found another woman to replace her because she knew that there was a tracking insect in Sun Yu's body. She was afraid that she would notice that the insect was missing and come looking for her, and discover that it was her who massacred the village, so she deliberately concealed it?
