Who are you?
That silly kid blurted out that sentence without thinking.
Song Tingwan chuckled and said, "Song Tingwan, have you heard of this before?"
The withered leaf was silent for a moment, then burst into tears of joy and screamed:
"Waaaaah, are you the Venerable Pillow Sleep that Fourth Sister mentioned? She said you are a very kind person, and you even helped her back then. During the Six Realms Beauty Ranking, she even got us all to vote for you."
"Sister Tingwan, you can definitely take me out, right?"
Song Tingwan was surprised, "I don't know your fourth sister."
She had no connection with the Wuchen Palace.
The young, energetic boy amidst the fallen leaves answered without hesitation:
“My fourth sister loves to disguise herself as a low-level cultivator and travel around. She almost became a Daoist couple with a male cultivator, but she fell into his trap and almost lost her life because she was caught off guard. You saved her.”
After that, his fourth sister switched to cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness.
"That's just how she was destined to live."
Song Tingwan smiled and said, but she didn't mind the unconscious closeness in his tone.
"You are now in my mustard seed space. Shen Zhuochuan has already informed your parents on your behalf. You can rest assured now?"
The man beside her tapped her wrist, and Song Tingwan then spoke to Xiao Qi.
“Great! You all have to be careful. This Wutong Mountain is very strange. I heard someone say to me that there are phoenixes in Wutong Mountain. I’m curious about everything, so I thought I’d sneak in to see if there are any phoenixes.”
"But as soon as I stepped into the gate of Wutong Mountain, a lot of terrifying ghost energy rushed up and clung to me tightly."
"When I regained consciousness, I saw a very gloomy man in front of me, dressed in a black robe. He twisted his neck and muttered 'Seventh Young Master of Wuchen Palace'."
“…”
The sound paused for a moment.
Her voice suddenly became unusually strained as she choked up: "He seemed to hate me, tormenting me for a long time, then using healing pills to restore me, repeating the process over and over again, as if he was excited by my screams."
"Later, I got so angry that I held back, and he really lost interest. So he killed me and tried to take my soul."
"But strangely, all the things my parents gave me to protect my life were thrown away by the ghost energy. Luckily, these withered leaves were inconspicuous on the ground, which allowed me to sneak in."
Song Tingwan seemed to be deep in thought.
That Ning Xi doesn't seem quite right, so it's not surprising that he could torture and kill.
It's just a pity for this child.
"Don't run around like that anymore."
"I dare not run around anymore, sob sob sob."
After listening for a while, Xiao Ao tentatively tiptoed over and patted the withered leaf.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't take pictures! What if I'm scared out of my wits if you mess it up!"
"Didn't you say your family could offer a lot of rewards, like spirit stones, and that I could give you another body?"
Song Tingwan chuckled, "Perfect timing. Your body is on that mountain over there, so getting back into your body will be much easier, but we'll have to wait until things are over."
"What! Waaaaah, no wonder my fourth sister was so eager to find you! You're so kind, thank you for your life-saving grace, Venerable One!"
It directly included an honorific title.
You can tell how excited this kid was.
Song Tingwan chuckled, rubbed Xiao Ao's head, and then returned to her senses, communicating with the two people beside her to tell Xiao Qi what she had to say.
"So, it was Ning Xi who extracted the soul. Should we keep an eye on him? Maybe then we can find the core of the problem."
Yuehe Xun asked tentatively.
Shen Zhuochuan and Song Tingwan replied with a simple "yes".
From the outside, Wutong Mountain looks just like any other ordinary sect, nothing special.
The atmosphere became strange; ghostly energy lurked underground, watching the movements of the entire mountain.
No one heard of Venerable Chunwu or Immortal Lord Zewu, and despite so many people coming and going, not a single person discussed it.
Everyone was extremely cautious, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.
When they arrived outside Ningxi Palace, the telepathic messages they had sent to the other four people earlier went unanswered for a long time.
Song Tingwan looked at the other two halls with some unease. "Should we start from Ningxi, or go in with them?"
Even Chen Zhuochuan was not at ease.
"Wait a little longer. If they haven't come out by the agreed time, we'll inform the outside world and go in first."
We had agreed to meet at night.
Trust your partners.
Song Tingwan nodded slightly, and the three of them quietly stepped into Ningxi's main hall again.
Hopefully, this time, we can find something useful.
The man in black robes stood above the empty hall, a dark cloud of energy floating in his hand.
The aura contained strange flames, flickering in shades of black and red.
The three of them keenly sensed that when that ball of energy emerged, the entire empty hall suddenly went dark.
"Heh." The man sneered, waving his hand to push the dark aura into the center of the hall.
Suspended in mid-air, the strange fire expanded, enveloping and burning a mass of ghostly energy.
Until one loud thud, the center of the hall collapsed.
A dark, gloomy passageway appeared.
The three of them followed without speaking, without needing to communicate telepathically.
As Ning Xi stepped inside, the secret passage slowly closed.
The three figures flashed and silently followed behind Ning Xi.
Inside the secret passage, the ghostly and malevolent aura was so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
Song Tingwan was especially sensitive to this.
The entire space seemed to be screaming with resentment, grievance, and incomprehension.
Hatred and murderous intent.
Her heart was so heavy with suppressed emotions that she could hardly breathe.
Shen Zhuochuan flicked his tail in a moment of distraction, then his eyes darkened slightly as he sensed something in his distraction.
Then he took her hand without any mishap.
Silent reassurance.
Song Tingwan held it back to show that she was alright.
