Rustle!
A search team consisting of dozens of people is conducting a large-scale search in the woods behind the Qingyun Sect.
Search target, Li Siyuan!
There are many trees and overgrown weeds and shrubs on the back mountain.
If someone deliberately wants to hide, it will be very difficult to find him.
The team searched for most of the day but didn't see a single shadow.
Soon, an elder disciple came running over and reported, "Eighth Elder, there's no trace of Li Siyuan in the east!"
Not long after, another elder disciple came running over and said, "Eighth Elder, there's no trace of Li Siyuan in the west."
In a short while, all the disciples who were sent out returned, and no one found Li Siyuan.
"This Li Siyuan killed the Seventh Elder, so he must have already fled down the mountain, right?"
"I think so too. Li Siyuan never came here. Otherwise, why can't we see any trace of his footprints for most of the day?"
All the elders and disciples nodded in agreement.
Then, his gaze turned to the Eighth Elder, who was wrapped in a black cloak and seemed to be waiting for his orders.
This eighth elder is naturally Li Siyuan.
At this moment, he lowered his hat tightly and asked, "Second Elder and Sixth Elder, where did they go? Did anyone see them?"
Everyone murmured among themselves, and suddenly someone said, "I know! I saw the Sixth Elder lead people to Nufeng Village at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. They said they saw Li Siyuan hiding in the village."
"Windrage Village?"
Li Siyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his squinting eyes revealed a strong chill.
"Walk!"
Li Siyuan waved his hand and led his men away from the back mountain of Qingyun.
They went to the stable, picked out a fast horse, and left Qingyun Sect in a swagger.
The disciples guarding the mountain had already received the wanted order for Li Siyuan issued by the elders, and specially ordered three elders to lead people to capture him.
At this moment, seeing Li Siyuan dressed as the Eighth Elder and leading the elders and disciples rushing down the mountain, no one stopped them.
Nufeng Village is near Qingyun Sect.
It is about seventeen or eighteen miles away and is the nearest village to Qingyun Sect.
Li Siyuan brought his disciples on horseback. The fast horses could travel a thousand miles a day, and they could reach the village in the blink of an eye after a distance of seventeen or eighteen miles.
Soon, Li Siyuan brought his disciples to the entrance of Nufeng Village.
Just as they were about to go in, a strong smell of blood overwhelmed the air.
All the disciples hurriedly reined in their horses and retreated, all of them covering their mouths with their sleeves.
Even Li Siyuan frowned.
He covered his mouth with his hands and drove his horse slowly into the village. The scene before him shocked him.
Corpses were lying all over the ground.
The elderly, the weak, women, children, livestock, cats and dogs...
The ground was covered with blood like rivers.
The disgusting fishy smell stimulates every nerve cell in the body.
"Oh my god! Who could be so cruel as to not even spare a baby in swaddling clothes?"
"What a beast!"
"Wufeng Village is under the protection of our Qingyun Sect. How dare these people massacre the village right under our Qingyun Sect's nose? They really don't take us seriously!"
The disciples were filled with righteous indignation.
Li Siyuan took a deep breath, and the unpleasant smell of blood penetrated his nostrils, and his flesh and blood twitched violently several times.
He asked his disciples to disperse and search to see if there were any survivors.
"Don't kill my child...don't..."
Suddenly, just when Li Siyuan thought that all the villagers were dead, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from the corner.
There are still survivors!
Hearing the sound, Li Siyuan jumped off his horse, stepped forward, pushed away the pile of stones, and found a beautiful middle-aged woman holding a baby girl in her arms.
The beautiful middle-aged woman hugged the baby girl tightly, trembling all over, and she was covered in blood.
When he saw Li Siyuan, he was so scared that he burst into tears, turned around and staggered to run away.
"I'm not a bad person, you don't have to run." Li Siyuan shouted.
"You, the Qingyun Sect, have killed innocent people indiscriminately and massacred my village, and you still say you are not bad people!" The middle-aged beautiful woman said viciously as she ran.
Li Siyuan was stunned. People from Qingyun Sect massacred the village?
"Sister-in-law, are you sure you saw that it was our Qingyun Sect who massacred your village?"
"Don't talk nonsense, oh my God! Windfury Village is under the protection of our Qingyun Sect. How could we kill you?"
The disciples who followed expressed their confusion.
The beautiful middle-aged woman had a wound as big as a bowl on her waist, and blood was still flowing out.
After running two steps, she collapsed to the ground exhausted. She seemed to have given up resistance and said tearfully, "Just a few moments ago, they were wearing the same Qingyun Sect uniform as you. The leader seemed to be an elder. They said they were looking for someone named Li Siyuan..."
"There's no Li Siyuan in our village. He accused us of harboring the evil Qingyun disciples and massacred the entire village. He also kidnapped all the beautiful young girls. He's truly inhumane!"
Following the middle-aged woman's words, a tall and straight disciple with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked up to Li Siyuan and said softly, "It must be the Sixth Elder and his men. I never thought they would do such a heinous thing!"
Li Siyuan nodded, his composure gradually returning to normal. He said, "I'm afraid his intention to find me isn't real, but he's really after this Wrathful Wind Village..."
The disciple whispered, "Eighth Elder, the Sixth Elder has always disliked you. Why not take this opportunity to eliminate him? When you return to the sect and report this, the elders will surely reward you and promote you directly to Sixth Elder! The resources between the Sixth Elder and the Eighth Elder are far less than a fraction."
Li Siyuan glanced at him sideways, scaring the disciple so much that he knelt down immediately, thinking he had said something wrong.
Unexpectedly, Li Siyuan smiled softly and asked, "What's your name?"
"Reporting to the Eighth Elder, my name is Cao Gao."
Li Siyuan nodded, then walked to the side of the beautiful middle-aged woman, only to find that she had already died due to excessive bleeding.
But her hands were still tightly holding the baby girl in her arms.
"Just go without worry, we will raise your child for you..."
Li Siyuan closed the middle-aged beautiful woman's eyes that were still open, and then picked up the baby girl. However, he saw that the baby girl was staring at him with two big eyes like purple gemstones, not crying, but looking at him motionlessly.
They stared at each other for a while.
Li Siyuan thought the baby girl was a little strange, so he picked up a clean robe as a sleeping bag, wrapped the baby girl up, and tied it around his waist.
Then, Li Siyuan winked at Cao Gao.
Cao Gao understood and immediately said to his disciples, "Brothers, listen up! The Sixth Elder massacred the Nufeng Village and looted young women. This is unforgivable. Qingyun Sect will never tolerate such scum. Please follow our Eighth Elder to capture the Sixth Elder and bring him to justice!"
"yes!"
The disciples nodded loudly, each of them filled with righteous indignation and ready to fight.
What's the point of capturing Li Siyuan? He had already been blinded by the Sixth Elder's inhumane behavior.
"Leaving the village to the east, there is a field of crops. They have robbed so many young women. The Sixth Elder will definitely not take them to Qingyun Sect. They will definitely be dealt with nearby."
Cao Gao suggested.
Li Siyuan nodded, glanced at the sleeping baby girl in his arms, and then took his disciples, drove their horses out of Nufeng Village, and headed towards the farmland in the east.
