Chapter 317 Meeting the Ghost King
"These people didn't even let the children go. It's so abominable. They must pay the price today."
Bai Luochen suddenly asked: "Look at the scars on their bodies, and the expressions on their faces before they died?"
When everyone looked over, they found that these mummies had countless wounds of varying sizes on their bodies, and their expressions were extremely painful and distorted. It was obvious that they had been tortured to death.
"That's not right. Most evil spirits injure people by tearing them apart directly. If they torture people, it won't take too long, and there won't be so many wounds."
"Looking closely at their wounds, they won't die in a day or two, but they will be in great pain."
"I have seen this method once when I was on a mission, but it was not an evil ghost that hurt people, but an evil little ghost."
"If it was an evil cultivator, then such injuries and the bodies of so many children would be understandable."
"Then this shouldn't be done by evil spirits, but by evil cultivators. Could it be that those five women are evil cultivators?"
Zhong Ling'er gave a positive answer, "Yes, those people are evil cultivators, and they are not women, they are men who turned into women in order to deceive people."
Many of the people who were hugged shuddered and got goosebumps all over the floor. "Junior Sister, how do you know they are men?"
"Because they often let their clothes fall down, revealing large areas of skin. Which fairy would behave like this? Only men would expose their breasts without changing their expressions."
Many people shut their mouths. What the junior sister said made a lot of sense. They were only focused on looking at the snow-white skin at the time and didn't think much about it.
Zhong Ling'er took out a spirit beast bag and said to everyone, "These people suffered a lot in their lives. We can't just watch them lie exposed in the wilderness after they die. Let's take their bodies out and let them rest in peace."
No one had any objection to this, and they all took action to untie the corpse and put it into the spirit beast bag. Soon, the forest became much brighter, and the bone-chilling coldness disappeared.
But soon, thick fog rose from the ground and the cold feeling returned. Then everyone saw a black shadow flash by, a scream was heard, and a person fell to the ground.
Afterwards, more and more black figures appeared. They were extremely fast and did not give people any chance to react. After a black shadow passed by, a man fell down with several bloody holes on his body.
"alert!"
At Xuanyuan Hongyuan's command, everyone stood back to back with their weapons pointed outward and began to be on guard. Seeing that a surprise attack was no longer possible, the black shadow lay dormant once again.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker. Two disciples on the periphery tilted their bodies and shouted "Watch your step", which made everyone nervous again.
Zhong Ling'er couldn't stand this gloomy atmosphere, so she drew out the Cang Yu sword, and a red sun emerged from the tip of the sword. Then, as the sword was swung forward, a scorching breath filled the air, making the thick fog much thinner.
The cold disappeared, and light came. People could see many children squatting on the ground in the light. They all had dark circles under their eyes and pale faces, and there was no sign of life on their bodies.
Little ghosts, it was these children, or rather, the evil little ghosts, who attacked them just now.
Zhong Ling'er stopped swinging her sword halfway, because the ghosts nearby would not be able to withstand such a sword technique, and there would be only one outcome, and that was to destroy their souls.
But what have they done wrong? They are still children and victims. The ones who are wrong are the evil practitioners hiding behind them.
Zhong Ling'er waved her hand angrily, and a huge spirit beast bag appeared in the air.
"Everyone, put the little ghost here. Don't worry, I have tried and it works."
So everyone started to take action, some were responsible for lighting, some were responsible for catching the little ghosts, and some were responsible for vigilance to avoid being attacked by the evil cultivators.
The little devils were not easy to catch. They were small and agile, moved quickly, and there were people controlling them, so after catching a dozen or so, the rest would scatter and run away.
Zhong Linger put away the spirit beast bag, looked at the densely packed team behind her and twitched her lips. She had such a large team in her hands, but she was still scared like this by a few evil cultivators and a few little ghosts. It was really cowardly.
"We can't be so passive. Everyone, with me as the center, move forward in a fan-shaped formation to encircle them. With so many of us, I don't believe we can't find them."
It was different when there was someone giving the orders. Everyone acted quickly and moved forward much faster, and no one was injured anymore.
Soon, everyone walked out of the forest. The place before them was not only free of ghostly aura and cold atmosphere, but on the contrary, the spiritual energy was very rich.
"Lingquan, there is a Lingquan over there!"
Someone shouted and everyone looked over. There was a spring between the rocks in front of them, which was continuously gushing out milky white liquid. Below it was a small pool of water. Rich spiritual energy emanated from the water, dispelling the evil spirits all around.
Seeing that there was nothing but the spiritual spring in front of them, people became excited and rushed over and jumped into the spiritual spring.
But there were more than 2,000 people here, and the spiritual spring was only that big, so a quarrel soon broke out, and then people started fighting over the spiritual spring.
"Stop it, we can't have internal strife, we still have to catch the evil cultivator!"
"Don't fight, we can split this spiritual spring water equally!"
"Come on, you said you wanted to split it equally, but why are you still using things to pretend? It's just a nice way of saying it!"
Zhong Ling'er and some rational people stood aside and watched. Even though they kept trying to persuade them, they still failed to stop the infighting before their eyes.
Zhong Ling'er touched her chin and felt very strange. Even though there was a rare spiritual spring as a guide, such a chaotic situation should not have occurred. Those who came in were all elites from various forces, and they should not lose their minds after seeing the spiritual spring.
Also, the appearance of this spiritual spring was too abrupt. How could a spiritual spring appear in the ghost realm? If Zhu Ling had this treasure, she would have hidden it long ago. How could she expose it to the public like this?
"Could this spiritual spring be a conspiracy of the evil cultivators?"
"Spiritual spring? Why do you think there is a spiritual spring here?"
A clear voice suddenly appeared, and everyone looked and saw a handsome young man in white clothes appeared in the team at some point.
"There is such a strong spiritual energy here, if it is not a spiritual spring, what is it?"
The young man in white frowned at this answer, and Zhong Ling'er said hurriedly: "Indeed, there shouldn't be a spiritual spring here."
The young man then relaxed his brows and looked at Zhong Ling'er with interest.
"We saw many mummies along the way, but there was no smell of blood, so I was wondering where the blood had gone. Now that I see water here, I wonder if this spring water is blood water?"
"Not bad, you have some brains, little girl."
The man glanced at Zhong Ling'er's wrist, then smiled and said, "You knew there was a problem, why didn't you call them back?"
Zhong Ling'er shook her head. "They are not in their right mind and will not listen to me. I am very curious, when did we get infected?"
