After going down the mountain, Ling Xiao went to Xiongshi Trading Company to sell goods as usual, but met an unexpected person.

Several young people dressed in the costumes of Zifengtai disciples gathered around the counter and were talking quietly to Xiao Zi.

Xiao Zi's cheeks were slightly red and bright, and she would answer a few words from time to time, but her eyes kept glancing at one of them.

Shi Yu, who had been absent for half a year, was lazily leaning against the counter. His posture was still so bold and uninhibited, and his handsome and unrestrained smile attracted frequent glances from women passing by.

Shi Yu's eyes brightened when he saw Ling Xiao, he walked up and gave the latter a shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Rabbit, what a coincidence!"

Ling Xiao smiled, cupped his hands and said, "I thought Brother Shi had gone into seclusion to practice hard, so how could he have time to come here?"

Falling Star Peak is quite far away from Linfeng City, and few Zifengtai disciples are active nearby.

Hearing this, Shi Yu showed his signature expression of helplessness and sighed: "Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor! I also want to stay in the mountains, but who told such a big thing to happen here?"

Ling Xiaoyiqi asked, "What's the big deal?"

He almost never leaves home. He even goes to flea markets less recently, and his acquisition of external information is lagging behind.

"The second generation of the Rainy Night Butcher committed a crime in Baicao Village next door seven days ago, massacring 7 households with a total of 31 innocent people..."

A woman walked forward slowly, glanced at Ling Xiao up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is covered in blood and is very suspicious. Are you related to this matter?"

This woman is none other than Xin Yu!

As she finished speaking, the eyes of all the Zifengtai disciples all fell on Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao cursed secretly.

I'm covered in blood, it's none of your business!

This woman has not forgotten the conflict half a year ago, and she comes to make things difficult for her this time!

Shi Yu's expression darkened, "Junior sister, don't talk nonsense!"

Xin Yu smiled brilliantly and said: "Senior brother, I was joking with him! With his cultivation, how can he be the Rainy Night Butcher?"

Ling Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to her madness, looked at Shi Yu, frowned and said: "The second generation of Rainy Night Butcher? Is it the magic knife that destroys souls?"

In the past six months, he had occasionally seen and learned about the origin of the soul-destroying magic sword.

This sword was born 30 years ago and was controlled by an evil cultivator. It then provoked the most brutal and bloody scene in the Beiliang Kingdom in recent years!

In just three years, evil cultivators committed 57 crimes, large and small, and massacred more than 1,000 people and monks!

Especially in the Wuye Town case, more than 300 people died tragically!

Because this man committed crimes on rainy nights, his methods were cruel and ruthless, and skinning and cramping were commonplace, so he was nicknamed the "Rainy Night Butcher".

The butcher's mass murder on a rainy night aroused the anger of the heavens and the people. Although he was eventually executed, it still made people's faces change when talking about the rainy night for a long time.

This series of shocking murders also prompted Zifengtai to take the lead and gather thirty-seven large and small immortal cultivating sects, families, and forces in the Northern Liang Kingdom to sign the "New Treaty of Northern Liang".

The main content is: monks are not allowed to kill ordinary people.

The common people have lived a stable life for 27 years.

Now, the stability has been shattered.

"The magic knife destroys the soul."

Shi Yu nodded, with a rare flash of solemnity in his eyes, "Back then, the Yuye Butcher committed a crime in Baicao Village. The murderer chose to attack Baicao Village. The methods he used and the death of the people were consistent with the Yuye Butcher. His evil intentions are self-evident."

Ling Xiao Yi Lin.

Does it end at Baicao Village and start from Baicao Village?

Who did Baicao Village provoke?

"Anyway, Brother Rabbit, be careful lately. If you encounter any situation, report it to Zifengtai in time." Shi Yu said.

Ling Xiao nodded.

The murderer is very scary.

What's even more terrifying is that in this murderer's hand, there is a magic knife to destroy souls.

A magic weapon worth 8,000 spiritual stones!

Although Ling Xiao doesn't understand magic weapons, he understands spiritual stones.

"Speaking of which, you are covered in blood, what are you doing?" Shi Yu changed the topic and asked with a chuckle.

"Just came back from hunting monsters."

Ling Xiao smiled bitterly, took out the proceeds from today's monster hunting, and pushed it to Xiao Zi.

"Mr. Xuantu, there are 40 spirit stones in total." Xiao Zi said softly.

In front of Shi Yu, Xiao Nizi felt passionate again.

Ling Xiao was speechless and nodded in agreement.

The quantity harvested today is not as good as yesterday, but the price has gone up because it contains the poison sacs and steel wings of the rotting butterfly, which are relatively rare.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you got 40 spirit stones just because you were covered in blood? How embarrassed are you!" Xin Yu always paid attention to Ling Xiao, and immediately laughed when he saw this.

The other Zifengtai disciples also looked disdainful.

Their monthly salary is more than 40 spiritual stones!

This is the difference between casual cultivators and Immortal Sect disciples.

Even Shi Yu was a little stunned and frowned: "Brother Rabbit, who did you go hunting monsters with? Were you deceived?"

He asked himself how many experiences he had in hunting monsters. Generally speaking, if Ling Xiao was in such a mess, he must have gotten a "big deal", and it was impossible to only get such a small amount of materials!

Ling Xiao knew his good intentions, so he just smiled and said, "No."

After buying a brand new practice stake from Xiao Zi, Ling Xiao said to Shi Yu: "I still have something to do, so I have to go back first. Goodbye, Brother Shi!"

Shi Yu nodded and said: "It's a pity that I am busy with official duties, otherwise I would definitely invite you for a drink!"

"There is ample time."

Ling Xiao waved his hand and left immediately.

Since the Demon Knife Soul Destroyer was photographed by the Lion Trading Company, now that it has caused such a mess, Zifengtai must be held accountable.

Shi Yu and the others should be here to handle this matter.

Ling Xiao didn't want to get involved.

But what he didn't know was that Xin Yu looked at his leaving figure with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

…

Return home.

Ling Xiao didn't even care about the management of Lingtian and quickly made a fire to cook.

Ling Xiao didn't make soup today, so it only took a short time. In about half an hour, a delicious meal was ready.

Let’s eat!

Ling Xiao devoured his food, pricking up his ears from time to time to see if the Tuo Shenhua would send out any reminders.

He was afraid that someone would pop out of nowhere and snatch his food.

fine.

all the best.

After eating, Ling Xiao tidied up quickly, sat down cross-legged, and started practicing his exercises.

Right after eating is the best time to practice and absorb.

Ling Xiao was overjoyed as he felt the spiritual energy soaking into his flesh and blood, turning into pure power and integrating into his body.

It's almost absorbed.

Night falls.

Ling Xiao slowly finished his work.

There is still some spiritual energy left in the body.

These spiritual energies are relatively complex and difficult to absorb through exercises.

However, it is not difficult for Ling Xiao.

He took out the practice wooden stake he just bought.

The second-level practice stake cost him a total of 80 spiritual stones, which was enough to withstand a bombardment of more than 5,000 kilograms of force!

Ling Xiao set up the wooden stakes and was about to practice when he heard a voice that made his hair stand on end.

"here we go again."

Tuo Shenhua said.

here we go again?

Ling Xiao's heart was beating wildly, but he could only pretend to be calm and turn around casually.

What caught his eye was the dress with wide sleeves that was as white as snow, and the slim girl with a face as clear as jade and eyes as clear as water.
