Hu Yizhi raised his head with a gloomy face, took his right hand out of Liu Xiaolu's hand, gently patted the back of the girl's white and tender hand, forced an ugly smile, and then said slowly,

"It is not difficult to find out the identities of those two people. After returning to Yuchuan, my father reported the matter to the clan leader. Just based on his father's oral description of the man's magical appearance, the clan leader concluded that the male cultivator who fought with his father in the forest was

He is a member of the Ghost Eater Sect.

But the origin of the female cultivator in red is not very clear. Although the Ghost Eater Sect also has spells that can be cast using the blood of mortals, they cannot be like that female cultivator, who can kill a big person with a wave of her hand.

Not a drop of the living person's essence and blood is left."

The female nun in red, the sound of the flute, sucking human essence and blood, the huge alien scorpion...

These factors were highly consistent with the evil methods recorded in the booklet. Liu Xiaolu's eyes moved slightly, but he did not interrupt Hu Yizhi's narrative.

"However, since there are ghost-eating sect monks involved, it cannot be easily solved by the Yuchuan Hu family, so the clan leader reported the matter to the Hedao sect.

People from the Hedao Sect soon sent word, and according to their judgment, the female cultivator in red who appeared with the Ghost-Eating Sect monk should be a Wuki Gu master from Nanling."

"Nanling Gu Master?"

Hearing this, the girl in white sitting opposite Hu Yizhi finally murmured.

"good."

Hearing this, Hu Yizhi, who was immersed in memories, finally regained some clarity in his empty eyes and continued,

"The Liu Kingdom we are in is one of the five countries in Dongyuan. In addition to Liu Kingdom, there are four other countries of varying sizes in Dongyuan.

The other area bordering two small countries in the south named Chun and Sang is called Nanling.

The territory of Nanling is full of barren mountains and rivers, and is often infested with strange insects and beasts. It is not suitable for mortals to live in. Therefore, the countries in the Eastern Plains have never had the intention of conquering and expanding against it.

However, Nanling is a vast area with deep jungles. Over the years, monks from Dongyuan have often entered Nanling to hunt for treasures. Every year, a large number of monks join Nanling, but only a few of them can return to Dongyuan safely."

Liu Xiaolu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but asked, "But is it because of the Nanling Gu Master?"

Hu Yizhi stretched out his hand and gently touched the girl's hair. A pair of reddish and narrow eyes turned slightly, but the expression on his face softened a lot.

"That's not necessarily the case. Although the land in Nanling is not as fertile and there are many cities as in Dongyuan, it is not an uninhabited place.

Its territory is roughly divided into two major tribes. In addition to the Wuqi tribe who practice witchcraft and Gu, there is also the Analytical Dragon tribe who believe in the power of beasts.

They don't practice Taoism like we and other Dongyuan monks, and they can't use magic and magic weapons to fight against the enemy, but they are also powerful and have their own sect.

I heard that the Wuki tribe is aloof and does not like to interact with outsiders. Even the Xilong tribe who also live in Nanling rarely speak politely.

Therefore, unless the Dongyuan monks who entered Nanling did not deliberately offend them, the Waqi tribe would rarely take action against them. It was not that they did not dare, but that they were disdainful."

"If that's the case, then it should be the Analytical Dragon Clan who took action against the Dongyuan monks. Are they dissatisfied with the Dongyuan monks who went to Nanling to hunt for treasures? Or are they simply doing it to kill people and seize the treasures?" Liu Xiaolu frowned.

.

Hu Yizhi shook his head and said, "It is said that the Xilong clan believes in the beast god, has a cruel personality, and feeds on the flesh and blood of the beasts in the forest.

They are distributed as tribes in the deep forests of Nanling. They strengthen their bodies by cultivating their faith in the beast god.

However, they do not know the method of refining weapons and elixirs, so most of the materials and elixirs in Nanling that Dongyuan monks flock to are of little use to them.

As for killing people and seizing treasures, monk Dongyuan's spiritual stones and magic weapons are no different from scrap metal to those who don't practice spiritual power. At most, they can only be regarded as some beautiful decorations."

"In this case, why did the Analytical Dragon Clan deal with the Dongyuan monks who entered Nanling?" Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but asked curiously.

Since there is no conflict of interest between the Analytical Dragon Clan and the Dongyuan monks who entered Nanling, it seems a bit unreasonable to take the initiative against the Dongyuan people.

Although they are powerful and occupy the home field, those who dare to enter Nanling to hunt for treasures are mostly monks who can be considered powerful in Dongyuan. The conflict between the two parties will inevitably cause casualties.

In this way, attacking the Dongyuan monks is simply a thankless task for the Xilong clan. Is it possible that the Xilong clan are all idiots?

"I don't know the reason for it, after all, I have never been to Nanling, but thinking about it, the Dragon Clan will not take huge risks to deal with the Dongyuan monks for no reason. This matter must be profitable for them.

"Hu Yizhi muttered.

Liu Xiaolu nodded when he heard this and put the matter aside. Nanling was thousands of miles away and had nothing to do with the two of them.

"Now that the Hedao Sect has found out the identities of the two people, how did they deal with the matter later? People from the Ghost Eater Sect appeared on the territory of the Hedao Sect to hurt people. Presumably the Hedao Sect would not do it for the sake of face.

Just give it up and let it go."

Hu Yizhi sighed almost inaudibly, shook his head and said,

"Hedao Sect has indeed taken action. It not only ordered all the forces in Zongyuan City to search for the two men, but also sent several foundation-building disciples within the sect to coordinate the search.

The elders of the sect even directly summoned the Ghost Eater Sect and asked them to give an explanation on this matter."

Seeing Hu Yizhi's expression, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but asked, "Is it possible that all the forces in Zongyuan City, including the people from the Hedao Sect, couldn't catch them?"

The various forces in Zongyuan City combined already have several Foundation Establishment Stage monks, plus the people sent by the Hedao Sect, the number of Foundation Establishment Stage monks participating in the search has exceeded the number on both hands. Even if those two people are both at the Foundation Establishment Stage, they are still very small.

It is difficult to escape the search of everyone.

Hu Yizhi still shook his head and said in a low tone, "Everyone has been searching within a thirty-mile radius of Zongyuan City for more than a month, but they still can't find the whereabouts of the two of them. Hedao Sect thought that they had fled elsewhere, and the search was stopped.

.

The Hedao Sect monks returned to their sect to resume their duties. Once they left, other forces in Zongyuan City were no longer willing to contribute to this matter.

At that time, my great-uncle who was in the late stage of establishing the foundation of the Hu family was still alive. At my father's strong request, the patriarch and my great-uncle continued to search for several days, but still found nothing.

Rumors spread among the clan, and everyone accused his father of going to war for a mere mortal.

Although their father was highly regarded by the clan at the time, the patience of several elders was limited, and soon the two of them had no intention of continuing the investigation.

In desperation, my father could only travel alone to track down the whereabouts of the two people, but his great-uncle forcibly brought them back to the clan and set up a ban on their residence, ordering my father not to participate in this matter again until he broke through the foundation building period."
