The next day, after breakfast, Wukong made an excuse to go out.
Before leaving, Niu Shanming gave Wukong an invisibility talisman.
This talisman is very precious; it was passed down from the ancestors of the Taiji Shenluo clan.
Unlike ordinary invisibility charms.
A regular invisibility talisman can only make someone invisible for half a character's time, but this one can make them invisible for more than half an hour.
Moreover, he completely concealed his aura, enough to deceive at least one major realm.
A regular invisibility talisman only prevents those within the same realm from detecting it.
This time, Wukong didn't refuse. After accepting the gift, he said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find the person behind this trip."
"Be careful," Niu Shanming advised.
"Don't worry, even if we can't win, we can still run away." Wukong smiled and waved his paw: "Alright, I'm off."
After saying that, the monkey disappeared.
The next second, Wukong appeared in the Jiang family's ancestral land in Zhongzhou.
Looking at everything before him, even though Wukong was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but swear: "Damn it!"
Mummified corpses were everywhere.
All of their flesh and blood had been drained, leaving only a skeleton covered with a dry skin.
Its appearance was terrifying.
Even the spirit beasts raised in the back mountain have all turned into mummies.
It fell to the ground at an angle.
The entire Jiang family estate was eerily quiet, without even a wisp of wind.
It's unbearably hot and humid.
Wukong carefully examined every inch of the Jiang family's territory, even venturing into their secret areas.
After some investigation, Wukong discovered that all of the Jiang family's precious possessions were missing.
The Spirit Artifact Pavilion is empty, the Spirit Medicine Pavilion is empty, the Spirit Skill Pavilion is empty, and many other treasure troves and inheritance sites are also empty.
Then we came to the conclusion that it must have been done by the Jiang family.
There are several secret locations that even with its unparalleled cultivation level below the Immortal realm, it cannot enter.
It was still through the palm teleportation talisman that I got in.
Therefore, the people who can take everything from here must be from the Jiang family.
Moreover, they must be members of the Jiang family with considerable influence.
But who exactly is it?
After investigating the Jiang family, Wukong went to the Yue family.
The Yue family and the Jiang family had the exact same scene, with mummified corpses everywhere.
Even ordinary white dogs that children keep as pets, without any cultivation, were drained dry.
The only difference is that what the Yue family truly hid in the secret place was not lost.
It seems that the person behind the scenes either couldn't be found or couldn't get in.
Wukong roughly estimated the person's cultivation level in his mind.
Ninety-nine percent of them are weaker than me.
Then Wukong went to those dozen or so middle-level sects and families.
It's the exact same scene.
On the surface, all those spiritual techniques, artifacts, and medicines were swept away.
Of course, these sects and families are small in scale, have limited inheritance, and don't have any real secret places.
Finally, Wukong went to the Lin family.
The Lin family, whose members were wiped out yesterday.
Like the dozen or so families before them, the Lin family's home was filled with mummified corpses.
After seeing so many, even Wukong felt a bit dizzy.
After all, I've seen thousands of mummies.
After checking the surface details, Wukong closed his eyes and began to explore the various secret locations of the Lin family.
Then they were all teleported in one by one using the palm teleportation talisman.
Like the Yue family, these true secret locations were not looted.
Although the Lin family's secret locations are not large, they are numerous.
Wukong patiently went in to investigate one by one.
As he entered the last one, Wukong discovered a person lying on the ground.
A fair-skinned, chubby person.
Having seen thousands of mummies, Wukong was momentarily taken aback when he saw this plump, fair-skinned person.
It took a while before he rushed over.
It raised its paw to check the person's breath; although faint, it was still there.
Wukong helped the person up, and his spiritual energy entered the person's brow with his fingertips. A moment later, Wukong frowned.
He was dying.
If I had arrived even half an hour later, this person would have been dead without a doubt.
"Kid, you're lucky."
Wukong muttered to himself, took out a water pouch, and used his fingertip to scoop up a drop of the Heavenly Spring, which he then put into the man's mouth.
It's not that Wukong is stingy.
However, this person only had the cultivation level of the Gathering Sea Realm and was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Too much will burst him.
The Nine Heavens Divine Spring entered his stomach, and in just a few breaths, the man slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a monkey's face.
Startled, he sprang to his feet in a flash, his voice trembling: "Who, who are you?"
"The person who saved you," Wukong said slowly.
"Save me?" The man was taken aback at first, and then belatedly realized that he was now healthy and strong, and so hungry that he could eat a whole cow.
I'll have Uncle Fu prepare a whole cow feast later...
Thinking of this, the man turned pale, sat down on the ground, and cried with tears and snot streaming down his face.
They're all dead.
The horrific scenes from yesterday flashed before his eyes once more.
It was only through the desperate efforts of Grandpa and the elders, using secret techniques, that they managed to hide him in this hidden place.
However, the secret technique was too harmful to his body, and his cultivation level was low.
So after being sent to the secret place, he lay on the ground unable to move, but he could clearly feel his life slipping away little by little.
He wanted to keep himself alive with his intense hatred, and he desperately told himself not to sleep, not to sleep.
But in the end, he still fainted.
"Why did you save me?" After crying for a long time, the man asked in a hoarse voice.
"I saved you, and this is your attitude?" Wukong retorted.
"My entire Lin family is dead, leaving only me alive. What's the point? I might as well go with them." The man's voice was filled with extreme sorrow.
"If you go with them, won't no one be able to avenge you?" Wukong asked.
"Revenge?" the man said with a self-deprecating laugh. "I only have the strength of the Gathering Sea Realm. What can I use to take revenge?"
"As long as you cultivate diligently, there will always be hope," Wukong said.
"No." The man shook his head: "The difference in our cultivation levels is too great. Even if I try my best, I probably won't be able to catch up in this lifetime."
"Who is he?" Wukong immediately seized on his words and asked.
"Tell me first, who are you, and why have you come to my Lin family? How did you get into my Lin family's secret area?" The man did not answer.
"My name is Wukong, and I'm here to investigate the massacre of a family in Zhongzhou," Wukong said.
"Then how did you get into this secret place? It was built by my Lin family ancestors, and no one below the level of an immortal can break through it." The man pressed on, "Are you an immortal?"
"No." Wukong shook his head: "I have a secret treasure that allows me to ignore any barrier or formation and travel freely."
"There's such a thing?" the man exclaimed in shock.
"Alright, now can you tell me who wiped out your Lin family?" Wukong asked.
A sudden, intense hatred flashed in the man's eyes, a hatred that almost materialized into flames: "It's the Jiang family, the Third Ancestor Jiang."
“Jiang Sanzu?” Wukong was startled. Didn’t the old man Niu say that he had already killed Jiang Sanzu?
"Are you sure it's Jiang Sanzu?" Wukong asked again.
