This is the way to Lingbo Peak, Xu Jingxian is very familiar with it.

But she seldom goes this way.

Either she was sent directly to the top of the mountain with Yulinling, or she was carried up by a small chariot.

The moonlight was very good, maybe it was too long since she came back, she suddenly wanted to walk up the mountain by herself.

Maybe Fangchen and Mancao will be pleasantly surprised.

The altar of wine under the white plum tree should also be unsealed.

After the exhaustion of the long journey, I originally thought about going back to take a flower petal bath and sleep with him for three days and three nights.

Um, no... I have been away for so long, the suzerain will definitely call her for questioning.

Two or three months in Jiuchongyuan, but it has been more than three years outside, the suzerain sees that she has not returned, Ling Bofeng must also change hands, right?

Thinking of this, the leisurely mood suddenly disappeared, Xu Jingxian took out Yulinling from her arms, her eyes fell on her feet, and she suddenly stopped.

Why is there a blood stain on the soil next to the shoes?

The blood has dried up and turned darker, blending with the soil, but it can be seen at a glance that it is not the same color as the soil next to it.

Going forward, such shallow or deep blood clots can be seen everywhere.

Xu Jingxian regards Lingbo Peak as her own territory, and she has never allowed her subordinates to kill people here, so Lingbofeng has always been clean.

So, where did these bloodstains come from?

Xu Jingxian suddenly felt a strange feeling, which was so strong that it made her heart skip a beat. She clenched the Yulinling in her hand, but still chose to fly up the mountain.

Dead silence.

Looking around, there is silence.

In the forest, under the building, no one heard her coming, so they ran out to greet her.

No way, could it be that the suzerain really changed her as the peak master?

Hmph, then she might as well go to Chang Ming, the master's thighs must be thicker than the master's!

With her thoughts spinning and her feet not stopping, she ran all the way to the top of the mountain.

The mountain gate has arrived, there should have been two disciples stationed there, but now there is no one in sight.

Entering Lingbo Palace again, the eyes are empty, the gauze is fluttering in the night wind, ghostly shadows are everywhere, eerie.

Xu Jingxian's heart sank completely.

Even if Lingbofeng changed hands, there should always be newcomers.

Now, it's more like—

People are all dead.

"Fangchen! Grass!"

Naturally, no one responded, not even the figure of the enemy.

Could it be that something happened suddenly to the Blood Sect?

With the suzerain, the king of Hades, who dares to be so presumptuous, it's not that he will die.

Could it be that even the suzerain...

No, it's impossible.

The suzerain's cultivation base is so high, even though she is now taking nourishing real grass and her strength has improved by leaps and bounds, she still dare not win a battle. Although there are many capable people in the world, there are very few who dare to challenge the blood sect, let alone fight against the blood sect. A massacre on such a large scale.

Xu Jingxian stopped in her tracks, and she saw bloodstains again.

This time behind a pillar.

There was a large pool of blood, not yet completely dry, part of it was still splashed on the pillar and then flowed down, forming a series of bloodstains.

People who have shed so much blood must lose their lives.

Next to her favorite place, a puddle of blood appeared impressively, as if someone had been forcibly dragged away, and the blood trail continued forward.

Without even thinking about it, Xu Jingxian chased in the direction where the blood was dragging, until she reached the backyard.

Overgrown with weeds, barren and messy.

This is not what she looked like when she left.

Look at this scene, at least it hasn't been cleaned for several years, it is impossible that there is no one here just after she left.

There was no sound, not even the chirping of insects.

The blood stopped abruptly when it reached the grass, which was half the height of a person, and it was impossible to tell whether there was something hidden in it at a glance. The white mist passed by, and it was even more shrouded in heavy shadows.

Xu Jingxian subconsciously held her breath and walked slowly towards the grass.

She has already squeezed half of the gauze tightly in her hand, and she is ready to shoot at any time.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind, without breath, unexpectedly broke through her defenses, and gently put it on her shoulder.

There was a snap, like an explosion in a quiet night.

Xu Jingxian's whole body almost exploded!

She turned her head!

Xu Jingxian opened her eyes!

There is a gauze curtain above the head, and the familiar soft bedding underneath.

The maid, Mancao, walked over and stood outside to ask.

"May peak master have breakfast?"

Xu Jingxian breathed a sigh of relief.

She said that she was just dreaming.

Three years is not a long time for a monk who often retreats and meditates. After she returned last night, everything was as usual in Ling Bofeng.

Xu Jingxian was afraid that the suzerain would lose her temper after waiting for a long time, so she thought about going to visit the suzerain first, reporting her experience in Jiuchongyuan in the past three years, and reminding the suzerain not to forget the shark silk that she promised to herself before, so that she can come out of Jiuchongyuan safely. There were not many people who came back, so it was really unreasonable for her not to take the opportunity to brag about the advantages of the tiger skin as a banner. There is no need to talk about raising real grass. As for the matter of the suzerain's master and elder brother, it depends on the suzerain's mood to make a decision.

As a result, last night, she had already made up her mind to talk, but she couldn't see Zhou Ke.

The disciple guarding the gate told her that Sect Master Zhou was in seclusion and no one was seen, and he didn't know when he would leave the seclusion.

The suzerain's retreat is very common, but her shark silk will not be available for a while, Xu Jingxian's boss is not happy, and after returning, he doesn't bother to eat or meditate. After taking a bath, he just lay down on the bed and slept until now.

"During the three years I was away, what happened to Ling Bofeng?"

Xu Jingxian let Mancao dress herself up, called a few of her confidants over, and lazily asked about the situation.

"The people from Danqing Peak and Guanhai Peak didn't come to find fault, did they?"

"No, everything is fine, Peak Master don't worry." Fang Chen replied.

Xu Jingxian was surprised: "They saw that I was not here, didn't they come here once?"

Fang Chen said: "I came here once and was blocked by my subordinates. Later, the suzerain said that you went out to do some business, so they didn't dare to act presumptuously."

"Count them acquainted!"

Xu Jingxian hummed coquettishly, thinking that she went to Jiuchongyuan, went through life and death, and got the true nourishing grass, she couldn't help feeling proud, now she should be regarded as the person with the highest cultivation level in the Blood Sect other than the suzerain.

"No, they didn't come, I want to meet them and see if they dare to act presumptuously in front of me in the future!"

Fang Chen persuaded: "You have just come back, you should rest for a few days before going. I heard that Master Tang Feng has retreated, I wonder if he has left the retreat now."

Xu Jingxian frowned: "Why is everyone in retreat when I come back?"

Fang Chen smiled: "You drink this cup of bird's nest soup first, the cook has been stewing it since yesterday."

Xu Jingxian: "Take it here."

It is not uncommon for monks to live without a drop of water for several days or even dozens of days, but Xu Jingxian loves the appetite, and when he has the conditions to enjoy it on his own land, he naturally refuses to treat himself harshly.

A steaming bowl of bird's nest porridge was served, and Xu Jingxian's favorite almond milk was added.

She picked up the spoon, stirred it casually in the bowl, scooped up a spoonful and lowered her head just as she was about to eat it.

In the white and greasy bird's nest soup, besides the bird's nest, there seemed to be slender worms swimming.

Xu Jingxian blinked.

Without bugs, the bird's nest soup is still a bowl of bird's nest soup, as if it was just an illusion just now.

At this moment, Fang Chen asked a question.

She asked, "Peak Master, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Xu Jingxian put down the spoon and yawned. "I always feel tired after I come back, and I can't sleep enough. Come and help me beat my back. Share the bird's nest, and stew it for me later."

Fang Chen's sweet voice should be yes, and she came to serve Xu Jingxian, with moderate strength, neither light nor heavy.

Mancao came to take away the bird's nest, Xu Jingxian suddenly called her to stop.

"What's wrong with you today, you can't comb your hair well, and there is a lock on your shoulder."

Mancao: "This subordinate was careless, so I'll go back and comb it."

Xu Jingxian likes to see that the people around her are beautiful and well-dressed every day, so these maids not only have different clothes, but also have different styles. Cave Fairy Cave.

Mancao left in a hurry, Xu Jingxian waved away Fang Chen, saying that she wanted to lie down for a while, but the others did not dare to bother, and they all retreated and left.

As soon as the gauze curtain was put down, Xu Jingxian sat up suddenly.

Something is wrong.

Everything is wrong.

Just now she saw a red thread as thin as gossamer behind the vine ears.

So she asked Fang Chen to beat her back with an excuse, but it turned out that Fang Chen also had it behind her ears.

Mancao's personality was originally very lively, but she didn't talk much these two days. She just came back last night and didn't pay attention to it. If she talks to her again today, she will easily notice something strange.

And that bowl of bird's nest porridge.

Xu Jingxian couldn't sit still anymore, she wanted to see the suzerain.

But I can't move yet.

She suppressed her temper and insisted on lying on the bed until it was dark. Gradually no one was moving around outside. She just got up and went out of the bedroom with her toes.

Xu Jingxian lightly landed on the roof, overlooking most of Lingbo Peak.

Outside the courtyard, the disciples on duty were all there, but they were motionless, as if they were dead.

Xu Jingxian watched for a long time, couldn't help but flew down, and landed behind the pillar, as if she had just come out of it.

As soon as she stepped down the steps, those disciples started to move, walking around, as usual.

"Peak Lord."

When Xu Jingxian passed by, they would still say hello.

Xu Jingxian hummed, and quickly walked out of the top of the mountain without stopping.

Her heart was beating wildly, and she was covered in white sweat.

It was really weird just now. Before she appeared, those people had been as rigid as dead silence, but after that, her footsteps were like horns, and those people instantly "lived" again. The frequency of walking and even the steps they took , seems to have been carefully calculated, each step of each person is the same arc, the same distance.

This is not at all like an action that ordinary people can make, but rather—

Changming those paper puppets.

But it's impossible for all the people on her Lingbo Peak to become puppets, right?

Xu Jingxian didn't dare to stay any longer, so she took out the Yulin Bell and sent it directly to Longding Peak.

If she wanted to see the suzerain, she had to see the suzerain no matter what.

Outside the quiet room where Zhou can retreat, there are still disciples on duty.

Xu Jingxian didn't notice it before, but now she stood in the dark and looked at it, and found that the two disciples were also motionless, as if they were asleep.

Even if a person dozes off, it is impossible for him to be without any small movements.

Could it be that even the suzerain...

Xu Jingxian's heart sank little by little.

She was about to go around to the back looking for a chance to go in and take a look, when she suddenly heard a slight movement behind her.

Xu Jingxian shuddered, turned around and shot!

The other party seemed to have anticipated her move one step ahead, sideways to avoid it, and stretched out his hand, directly pulled her away, and covered her mouth again.

"It's me, keep quiet."

It's Changming!

Xu Jingxian trembled slightly, and almost instantly went limp.

She had never found this voice so moving!

Like a bright light in the long night, Xu Jingxian was so moved that she was on the verge of tears.

The suzerain is unreliable, but the suzerain master is reliable!
