Chapter 28 The Village Massacred
However, at the same time, Su Yuntao had also figured out how to entertain the old man. Because he would be going to the Martial Soul Temple in Tiandou City with the Palace Master Xipu, he wouldn't have time to take care of the old man. Therefore, he planned to give the opportunity to take care of the old man to his goddess Sisi. As long as he explained things clearly to Sisi, there would be no trouble. After all, as long as Sisi wasn't stupid, she would understand how great an opportunity taking care of the old man was for her.
Seeing that Su Yuntao had agreed, Ling Xiao didn't say anything more. After all, in the small city of Notting, there weren't many people who could threaten the old man's safety. Otherwise, the defenses that Ling Xiao had set up for the old man would have been useless.
You should know that in order to ensure the old man's safety, Ling Xiao used a drop of divine power to condense a small statue for him. In addition to nourishing the old man's body, this statue also contains a wisp of Father Luke's divine consciousness, which will come out to protect the old man when he is in danger.
Su Yuntao was very sensible. He knew that Ling Xiao's silence meant he didn't want to continue talking, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to Ling Xiao under the pretext of helping Ling Xiao wash clothes and delivering new clothes to the old man.
After saying goodbye to Su Yuntao, Ling Xiao resumed his cultivation. Su Yuntao then left the room, and Ling Xiao continued his cultivation.
Time flies, and a day has passed in the blink of an eye. On the afternoon of the second day after Ling Xiao arrived at the Martial Soul Branch Hall, he received a message from Xi Pu, saying that he was going to the Martial Soul Holy Hall in Tian Dou City early the next morning.
After receiving the news, Ling Xiao chatted with the old man for a while, gave him some more instructions, and then went back.
Soon, it was the next morning. Ling Xiao got up, got ready, ate breakfast, and headed towards the location Xi Pu had told him about.
Soon, Ling Xiao saw Su Yuntao and Xi Pu waiting at the entrance of the Martial Soul Branch Hall. After exchanging pleasantries, they boarded the carriage that had been prepared in advance and set off.
The journey was incredibly boring, so Ling Xiao entered a shallow level of cultivation not long after getting into the carriage. Perhaps Ling Xiao's attitude of making the most of every minute to cultivate inspired them, as Xi Pu and Su Yuntao also entered a state of cultivation.
Time passed day by day. Because the carriage had obvious Spirit Hall markings, the journey was smooth. However, when they were about to reach Heaven Dou City, they passed through a village and smelled the blood emanating from the village. In an instant, Su Yuntao and Xipu became serious.
Soon, they discovered that the village had been massacred, and the reason for the massacre was unknown, since the people who massacred the village had also left.
Ling Xiao and his two companions entered the village and began investigating what had happened. They eventually found the bodies of all the dead villagers in the center of the village, and all of them had turned into mummies.
"Evil Soul Master!" Xipu said through gritted teeth.
"Lord Palace Master, what did you say? Evil Soul Master? How is that possible? You must know that we are already close to the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. Even if there are evil soul masters, they wouldn't dare to commit such a crime against the wind!" Su Yuntao said in shock.
"They might be taking advantage of the darkness under their noses, but we need to notify the Spirit Temple immediately about the situation here. We absolutely cannot allow this group of evil spirit masters to grow stronger," Xipu said with a serious expression.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for triggering the main quest: Save the survivors of the village. Reward: Holy Scripture of Light (semi-divine artifact, can be evolved) and the method to craft a divine soul ring."
Upon hearing the system's words, Ling Xiao immediately realized that there were still survivors in the village. However, seeing Su Yuntao and Xipu preparing to leave, Ling Xiao asked, "Shouldn't we check if there are any survivors before we leave?"
