Xiao Village and Li Family Village were separated by mountains, and the distance between them was about ten kilometers.
Xiao Village was the closest village to Li Family Village, but there weren't many villagers in this village. There were only a few dozen households.
They rarely interacted with people from the outside world. They were not even familiar with the people of Li Family Village and Xiao Village.
His grandfather had once warned Li Jingye not to go to Xiao Village for no reason, saying that the village was mysterious and strange.
The strange Xiao Village had now become a hell of hell, with charred corpses and ruins everywhere.
"Brother Ye! This was definitely the work of an immortal cultivator. It was impossible for mortals to have the power to slaughter villages at will.”
Wang Xiaopang, who had been silently following Li Jingye, finally couldn't help but speak up.
Li Jingye did not say anything. He entered Xiao Village and carefully examined the charred corpses. He found that they had been burnt by the fire.
Since it wasn't completely burned, it could still be vaguely recognized.
The biggest difference between Xiao Village and Li Family Village was the degree of destruction.
It was as if the Li Family Village had been destroyed by a powerful force. All the buildings and people were destroyed.
Although Xiao Village was also covered in scorched earth, the buildings were still basically intact. At least the walls and other things had not collapsed.
The charred bodies were all damaged by swords and sabers, and Li Jingye found many bodies in black.
Those people were obviously not from Xiao Village. He roughly estimated that there were more than a hundred corpses.
More than half of them were corpses in black.
Li Jingye could not help but suspect that some enemy had come and slaughtered Xiao Village.
He had wanted to come to Xiao Village to inquire about the destruction of Li Family Village, but he didn't expect Xiao Village to be killed.
Li Jingye didn't know if the one who destroyed Li Family Village and Xiao Village was the same person or the same force.
But at least this was a clue, so Li Jingye began to search the corpses carefully.
"Black Demon Gang!"
At this moment, Wang Xiaopang, who had been carefully searching the corpses, seemed to have recognized one of the corpses and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Black Demon Gang?"
Li Jingye stood up and walked to Wang Xiaopang's side. He frowned and asked suspiciously.
"This corpse belongs to a hall master of the Black Demon Gang. I've seen him before.”
"The Black Demon Gang is a famous evil force in Lin Mountain City.”
"The leader of the Black Demon Gang, Black Demon, is a third-rate expert. After he was injured by my grandfather, he left Linshan City with his subordinates and disappeared from the scene.”
Little Fatty Wang's words made Li Jingye frown even more.
"Rustle! Rustle!"
"Who is it?"
A rustling sound came from the grass not far away. Li Jingye, who had been on full alert, instantly shouted and rushed towards the grass.
"Don't do it! We're on the same side!"
At this moment, a clear female voice sounded.
The Fire Dragon, whom he had not seen for many days, suddenly walked out from the grass, but Li Jingye's sword did not seem to have any intention of stopping.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, his sword stabbed into a red light shield.
"Clang!"
Li Jingye's hatred for the Immortal Cultivators made him furious when he saw the Fire Dragon again.
He would never forget how the Fire Dragon had deceived and used him. Although he had never completely trusted the Fire Dragon, the Fire Dragon had still deceived him.
The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing rang out one after another. Li Jingye's flying sword turned into countless sword lights and slashed at the red light shield crazily.
The red light shield was shaken by the attack, and the Fire Dragon could not help but frown.
"Although I hid my purpose, I didn't lie to you.”
"I've given you the talisman too. It's you who can't use it.”
The Fire Dragon's cold voice rang out. Then, the red light shield turned into a wave of air and forced Li Jingye back.
"Humph! You clearly know that we don't have cultivation and can't use talismans, but you still instigated us to die. Is there any reason for that?”
Li Jingye snorted coldly and questioned in a deep voice after landing. He did not attack the Fire Dragon again.
"I'm very curious. How did you survive Black Robe's attack?”
The Fire Dragon did not answer Li Jingye. Instead, he asked with interest.
However, Li Jingye did not answer her. Instead, he held his flying sword and prepared to attack again.
"You! How petty!"
The Fire Dragon obviously didn't want to get entangled with Li Jingye. He took out a storage bag and threw it to him."Take the things inside as compensation for you.”
Li Jingye naturally recognized the storage bag. He grabbed it with one hand and probed it with his divine sense, only to find that there were only a few stones inside.
This made him frown, wondering if the Fire Dragon was playing him on purpose.
"Those are spirit stones, the common currency in the cultivation world.”
"Spirit stones contain spiritual energy that can be absorbed to increase one's cultivation. It can also quickly replenish spiritual energy when immortal cultivators run out of spiritual energy.”
Fire Dragon's explanation surprised Li Jingye.
Wang Xiaopang, who had been silent all this while, quickly came to Li Jingye's ear and muttered,""Brother Ye! I've heard of spirit stones before. There is indeed such a thing.”
"Good! Let's not talk about the past grievances for the time being!”
"What's your purpose for lying in ambush here?”
Li Jingye handed the storage pouch to Wang Xiaopang and questioned the Fire Dragon.
"Don't tell me you think I killed these villagers?”
"This has nothing to do with me. I'm just passing by.”
"However, I met the disciples of Blood Refining Sect on the way. They seemed to have mingled with a group of bandits.”
The Fire Dragon's explanation made Li Jingye frown.
He didn't completely believe the Fire Dragon, but it was very likely that the other party was really just passing by.
"Do you know where their base is?”
"I don't know!"
"However, when I met them on the way, I secretly sprinkled some gold powder on a mountain bandit who passed by under a tree.”
"That kind of gold powder can't be seen during the day, but it can emit a faint light at night.”
"Then bring me to the place where we met them!”
"Alright!"
"But I've already said it before. Our previous debts can be considered written off. You can't bear a grudge against me anymore.”
"Alright! As long as you don't lie to me!"
“......”
"Wait for me!"
The question and answer went far away. Wang Xiaopang shouted and quickly chased after them.
The three of them sprinted through the dense forest.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at a small forest.
The sky was completely dark, and the faint golden light in the forest was extremely eye-catching.
"Look! I didn't lie to you, did I?"
The Fire Dragon pointed at the faint light that looked like powder and boasted to Li Jingye.
Li Jingye ignored the Fire Dragon. He tapped the tip of his toes and chased the faint light into the distance.
"Hey!"
"It's late at night. If you run around like this, it's easy to attract wild beasts to attack.”
The Fire Dragon shouted as he watched Li Jingye leave.
"You don't understand how he feels right now!”
At this moment, Wang Xiaopang's voice rang out from beside the Fire Dragon. Then, he ran away quickly.
The Fire Dragon was stunned for a moment. He looked at the two people who were running away quickly and felt a little puzzled.
"Humph! Wasn't it just killing people? What mood do you need!"
The Fire Dragon snorted coldly and chased after the two of them. Soon, they disappeared into the forest.
