Chapter 345 Soul Search

Only Hua Rongrong knew that all this was done by the master, but she didn't know what method this mysterious master used.

Xiao Shi and others were even more confused, and they kept muttering in their hearts, wondering if Liu Changsheng and others had any conspiracy, and a crisis was inexplicably resolved?

Some time after this, Xiao Lin went to the Changsheng Sect specifically and found out the people behind the Changsheng Sect. They were two cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining. These two people have been practicing for decades and have been stuck in the middle stage of Qi Refining, unable to make any progress.

Only then did they think of returning to the secular world and living a comfortable life of mortals. Moreover, with their cultivation, it is not impossible for them to live a prosperous and wealthy life.

However, in the Tianlu Mountains, the five major sects once issued a strict order prohibiting cultivators from interfering in mundane affairs, and the five major sects also formulated rules that every year there would be several foundation-building cultivators to patrol the mundane world.

On the one hand, it is to inspect whether there are foreign forces controlling the secular world of Tianlu Mountain Range, and on the other hand, it is to prevent cultivators from disrupting the rules of the secular world.

So the two hid behind the scenes and coerced Liu Changsheng, a peerless martial artist with great innate ability, to participate in the battle for hegemony in the martial arts world, in order to plunder gold and silver treasures and satisfy their desire for glory and wealth.

After learning about this, Xiao Lin directly killed the two on the spot in the name of an inspector, collected their storage bags, and then warned and admonished Liu Changsheng before leaving the Changsheng Sect.

But the Changsheng Sect did not leave Huai County, but became even worse. The disciples of the Changsheng Sect bullied the disciples of the Bailian Hall in every possible way. The strange thing is that there was no bloodshed and death, but fights and brawls appeared every two or three days.

This made Xiao Shi feel overwhelmed, and under the introduction of Hua Rongrong, Xiao Lin also moved into the Xiao family as a manager, and under the strong persuasion of Hua Rongrong, and the support of Xiao Shan and Xiao Zhi, Xiao Shi finally agreed to their proposal.

"Disband Bailian Hall and move to Yunlong City."

In fact, as early as the rise of Changsheng Sect, Xiao Shi had already bought land in Yunlong City, just to prepare for any eventuality. Compared with Huai County, Yunlong City belongs to the government. Although these people from the rivers and lakes will occupy it and fight for some benefits.

But they dare not fight each other blatantly. This is why Xiao Shi chose this place, just in case Bailian Hall loses to Changsheng Sect, so that he can have a way out.

However, Xiao Shi did not know that the mastermind behind all this was the inconspicuous black-faced young man next to Hua Rongrong.

In the dark night, Xiao Shi's family quietly left Huai County, and the Xiao Mansion in the west of the city was burned to ashes in a fire.

After that, a news suddenly came out in Huai County that the Bailian Hall, which had been entrenched in Huai County for decades, was disbanded...

For a while, people in the martial arts world looked at him sideways. After all, Xiao Shi was a legend in the martial arts world. He advanced to the Xiantian Dacheng in his twenties and took over the position of the hall master a few years later. He dominated the martial arts world for decades without a single defeat.

But in the end, he was defeated by the suddenly rising Changsheng Sect, which made these people in the martial arts world sigh. A generation of martial arts legends came to an end.

And one day a few months later, a shocking long rainbow flew from the sky, hovered in the void, and fell into the county town of Huai County.

Countless people saw this scene and knelt down, praying for God's blessing.

In front of a ruin in the west of Huai County, an old woman with a wrinkled face showed up, and behind her stood a middle-aged man in his forties.

If Xiao Lin saw this scene, he would naturally recognize at a glance that this wrinkled old woman was the fierce and powerful Yuanbao Granny.

Looking at the ruins in front of her, Granny Yuanbao showed a look of doubt on her face.

"Is this the mansion of Xiao Lin in the secular world?"

"It should be correct. I have been investigating in Huai County for several days. It seems that the Xiao family was wiped out by the Changsheng Sect."

"How could there be such a coincidence?" Granny Yuanbao showed an expression of disbelief on her face. After a little thought, she said: "Go and capture the people of the Changsheng Sect for me."

"Yes."

The middle-aged man was surrounded by spiritual light. The next moment, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared without a trace.

Granny Yuanbao stood quietly in front of the ruins, her face constantly changing: "Xiao Lin, no matter where you escape, I will extract your soul and refine your spirit, torture you for 7749 years, and then sacrifice and refine it into a soul-splitting Yuanbao, so that you can taste all the pain in the world, hum."

After half an hour, a golden light flashed in front of Granny Yuanbao, and the middle-aged man appeared again, holding a man and a woman in his left and right hands respectively.

"Their leader suddenly went insane while practicing a few days ago and has disappeared. These two people are the left and right emissaries of the Changsheng Sect and are now the people in power in the Changsheng Sect."

"Tell me everything you know about the Xiao family. If you say anything untrue, I will make you live a life worse than death."

This man and woman are the two people who followed Liu Changsheng at the beginning. They couldn't figure out why they had no power to fight back in front of this middle-aged strong man with their Xiantian realm skills.

"Could it be that these two people are also immortals?" When Xiao Lin killed the two cultivators behind the Changsheng Sect, only Liu Changsheng was present, so they didn't know what happened afterwards.

The two were frightened when they saw the fierce face of Grandma Yuanbao. They knew that what the old woman said was probably not a false threat, so they told her everything they knew.

She kept talking for an hour before she finished. After listening carefully, Grandma Yuanbao suddenly laughed strangely, and her two hands like bird claws suddenly stretched out, and the two people were caught on the top of their heads without any resistance.

They just showed a look of fear on their faces, and their expressions froze.

Grandma Yuanbao obviously didn't believe them, and wanted to verify it through the soul-searching method. The reason why Grandma Yuanbao listened to them tirelessly was mainly that the soul-searching method could get the information she wanted from the other party's soul consciousness.

But the information obtained is usually very fragmented, and sometimes even part of it is lost, unless Grandma Yuanbao is willing to spend more time, retreat and concentrate on searching the soul a little bit, so that she can get all the information without omission.

Obviously, Grandma Yuanbao didn't have this patience. After a while, she threw the two bodies on the ground with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Through the soul-searching, she found that the two people did not deceive her, but there was no information she wanted. Looking at the ruins in front of her, Grandma Yuanbao didn't believe that the Xiao family was really wiped out.

It was too much of a coincidence that the clan was destroyed when she came, rather than earlier.

But she had no other choice. No matter how small Yuxi Country was, it was still tens of thousands of miles in radius. If the other party kept hiding their identities, she couldn't kill all the mortals in Yuxi Country. Not to mention how long it would take to kill them like this, the consequences of killing so many mortals alone were not something she could bear.

After thinking about it, Granny Yuanbao couldn't think of a better way. This made her teeth grinding loudly, and her face was full of ferocity. Even the middle-aged monk next to her was frightened by Granny Yuanbao's expression and didn't dare to breathe.

"Hmph." With an angry shout, Granny Yuanbao suddenly turned into a golden light, soaring into the sky. After flying into the void hundreds of feet high, it suddenly turned into a golden glow several miles in size.

Seeing this scene, many people in Huai County immediately knelt on the ground with joy on their faces and bowed down one after another.

At this time, a cold snort was heard, and then the golden glow rolled up, and after extending, it suddenly turned into a golden glow and flew towards the distance, and above the void, dozens of huge golden ingots fell from the sky and fell towards Huai County.

Seeing so many golden ingots falling, the people of Huai County all showed surprised expressions, thinking that they were golden ingots falling from the sky, but they didn't know that these golden ingots were deadly.

Dozens of golden ingots burst one after another when they fell to the ground, and the golden glow spread out. All mortals who were passed by this golden glow suddenly froze in their eyes, and then their bodies fell straight down.

This soul-splitting ingot was made by Grandma Yuanbao by extracting the soul of the cultivator and refining it with the help of her own magic power. Once it exploded, it would form a soul power storm. Under the sweep, even if the cultivator was not strong, he would be seriously injured.

How could these mortals resist? After dozens of gold ingots exploded, the whole Huai County suddenly fell into silence, and after the silence, the mortals began to cry.

Granny Yuanbao was indeed a cruel person. Without finding Xiao Lin's family, she vented her anger on the people of Huai County. This casual attack led to the death of thousands of people in Huai County.

If Xiao Lin saw this scene, he would probably sigh that the lives of mortals were worse than dogs.

At this moment, Xiao Lin's family had already moved into the mansion of Yunlong City and lived an ordinary life in a low-key manner. Xiao Shi had experienced decades of life in the rivers and lakes and was tired of that kind of life.

He also began to live his own life at home. The whole Xiao family never mentioned the past. As for the children of the Xiao family, they were arranged by Xiao Shi to enter the private school in the city to study the classics of the ancient Confucian scholars in preparation for the future imperial examinations.

Xiao Lin, the steward, was bored all day long. In addition to ordering the servants to buy vegetables, cook, and clean the courtyard every day, he would accompany his old father Xiao Shan and rest with him.

Of course, Xiao Lin was not really resting with his eyes closed. He had studied the experience of forming a pill given to him by his master Su Qingyun for a while, but he was still in a confused state about forming a pill.

Not only the experience of forming a pill, but also the secret art of Yi Lingbian given by the old ancestor Tianyi, all require a lot of time to comprehend and digest.

Anyway, it was still early for the opening of the Dutian Xiaohan Realm, and he could not go back to Dancao Mountain. It was rare to have such free time, so Xiao Lin practiced behind closed doors at night, and spent the day accompanying his old father, and comprehending the experience of forming a pill and the secret art of Yi Lingbian.

Time passed slowly, and seven or eight years passed in the blink of an eye.
