In cultivation stories told from the female protagonist's perspective, the one with the toughest life is the female protagonist. No matter how many villains there are, she can always turn danger into safety amidst the persecution of various villains. Even if Rong Yu dies here, Su Mo'er will not die in a small Ge Feng Town instance!
Therefore, her disappearance can only mean one thing: the murderer is doomed!
The "murderer" he had caught had remained silent and unusually calm since his capture. Geng Qi examined him for a while, then frowned slightly: "Such weak cultivation?"
Qing Han said, "Miss Li Yao's cultivation level is not high."
Since she has lost her seven souls, killing her would be enough.
But Geng Qi felt that something was not quite right.
Unable to figure it out, Rong Yu asked Su Mo'er and another disciple about the time they went missing, and then instructed several disciples to take them back first.
After the person was taken away, Geng Qi saw that he was still staring blankly at the backs of the disciples and thought he was worried about the safety of the female lead, so he kindly comforted him: "Don't worry, Miss Su will be fine."
Rong Yu glanced at him, hummed in agreement, and said, "Let's go back."
Geng Qi: "..."
The person who said this didn't move an inch, as if waiting for him to take the first step forward.
They've got their eyes on him!
Geng Qi looked around. Yang Tianhui had already followed, leaving only the three of them. He nodded calmly, about to say "okay," when suddenly something unexpected happened. The murderer, who was being taken back to the village head's office by the disciples of Tianzhi Sect, suddenly broke free from the grasp of two disciples and started running forward. Several people couldn't hold him back, and they chased after him by circulating their spiritual energy, but were knocked away before they could even touch him.
All of this happened so fast that no one had a chance to react. Yang Tianhui was close by and quickly struck the man on the back with a palm strike. The impact knocked the man to the ground, but he struggled to get up and continued running as if he were not afraid of pain.
This time, no one dared to stop him anymore.
Someone scrambled to their feet, staring in terror at the culprit who had thrown them away. "A...a demon! It's a demon!"
The "murderer," who had just gotten up from the ground, was covered in black energy, which was clearly visible in the moonlight. He stopped running, turned around abruptly, his eyes bloodshot. His hair ornament had come loose from the fall, and his hair was disheveled. He exuded an aura that made him seem like a completely different person. His inner energy was unstable, and he was agitated. He lunged straight at the spot where Yang Tianhui was standing.
Suddenly, a flash of silver light appeared, and the longsword, still in its sheath, landed between the "murderer" and Yang Tianhui, creating some distance between them. Then, it circled around the "murderer," separating into ten silver-white sword shadows that formed a sword array, trapping the man firmly.
Rong Yu's sword is named "Drunken Shadow".
As its name suggests, the sword now looks like a shadow seen by someone who is drunk and disoriented.
Geng Qi focused his gaze on the formation, thinking to himself, "The culprit is truly a silent killer. When captured, he behaved himself, which made them subconsciously lower their guard. When he caught them distracted, he tried to escape."
Although the sword formation trapped the man, it did not calm his emotions. The man inside the formation was still furious, waving his hands and trying to break free unwillingly, but he was repeatedly blocked.
Seeing the lingering demonic aura around him, Geng Qi couldn't help but lower his gaze slightly.
The man was successfully brought back to the village head's office. The sword formation was removed, and the "murderer" became very tired after his madness. His spiritual veins were sealed and he was locked in the woodshed of the village head's office. Even so, the Tianzhi Sect disciples who were responsible for interrogating him did not dare to get too close.
They were all beginner disciples who had just started their cultivation, relying on their aptitude. In terms of experience, they should have never dealt with real demons before, so it was understandable that they were afraid.
Because no one helped him tidy up, the "murderer's" hair was a mess, and his once decent clothes were torn to shreds by his own clashes in the sword formation. His arms were also cut and bleeding slightly. He looked no better than a beggar on the street.
Yuan Xin was the eldest sister among the disciples undergoing this training. Almost every important matter required her attention. She sat in front of the murderer with an air of authority, but her eyes were fixed on the person leaning against the window next to her.
What are you doing here?
Geng Qi replied matter-of-factly, "Interrogating criminals!"
Yuan Xin said impatiently, "We don't need you here."
"That's hard to say," Geng Qi said. "Maybe I really will be of use."
Seeing that he was being unreasonable again, Yuan Xin knew that asking his grandmaster would just lead to the same thing, so he put up with it and turned to look at the "murderer".
"May I have your name?"
The man looked somewhat confused, glanced up, and then reverted to his initial honesty: "I don't know."
Yuan Xin was taken aback, then asked, "What's your name?"
The "murderer" simply shook his head.
“You should ask him how many accomplices he has first!” Geng Qi interjected from the side.
The simultaneous occurrence of incidents at the Li family residence, the village head's office, and the inn where the Yan Dan Sect disciples resided clearly indicates a group crime.
He meant well by offering a reminder, but as expected, he received a glare: "I know, you don't need to say more!"
Then Yuan Xin asked, "Why did you kill them?"
The "murderer" still shook his head.
He simply refused to speak, and when asked several questions, he either shook his head or said he didn't know. Half an hour passed without any progress.
Geng Qi couldn't stand it anymore: "Is this how people from your Tianzhi Sect interrogate prisoners?"
Yuan Xin was somewhat discouraged, but she couldn't bear to lose face, so she scolded him, "It's none of your business... Hey! What are you doing!"
She was suddenly pulled off the stool she was sitting on.
Ignoring her fuming behind his back, Geng Qi turned the chair around, straddled it, put his hands on the back, and approached the "culprit," saying, "I'll ask you one question: are you a demon or a human?"
