Chapter 233 Blood Shadow Lady
Qin Shaochen used the fireball technique to burn several dead blood puppets.
Then he picked up the blood puppet that was still alive and rushed straight to the Qin family compound.
He immediately reported the situation to Qin Chaotian.
At this time, Qin Chaotian had been promoted from the seventh elder to the first elder.
After seeing the blood puppet, Qin Chaotian frowned.
Qin Shaochen also said that the Wang family had colluded with an elder of the Black Cloud Sect and wanted to plot against the Qin family.
He did not dare to neglect it and immediately convened an elders' meeting.
At the meeting, Qin Shaochen repeated what he had overheard.
All the elders looked a little solemn.
Although the Black Cloud Sect is far away in Tiannan Province, it is a second-level sect with a foundation-building great spiritualist in the sect.
Its strength is far above that of the Qin family in Huaitian City.
Even if there is only one elder now, it cannot be ignored!
Fairy Yueyu decided to take the initiative.
Immediately send people to capture Qin, the shopkeeper of Guanyuan Restaurant, and interrogate him.
Another person was sent to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about the news of the Black Cloud Sect.
In terms of information collection, the City Lord's Mansion obviously has more advantages.
Not long after, both groups returned to the Qin family compound.
The team that went to capture Qin's shopkeeper came back and reported that when they arrived, Guanyuan Restaurant had been burned to ashes.
Qin's family of six, including the cook and waiters, a total of 18 people, all died.
All died in the fire.
"It's really hateful. I didn't expect the enemy to be so cunning that they killed people to silence them at the first time."
An elder named Qin Beihai couldn't help but curse loudly.
"Even women and children were not spared. If that kind of evil person fell into my hands, I would definitely not let him die happily!"
Many people also responded.
Qin Shaochen, who was sitting in the back row, looked at the indignant black-robed elder with a gloomy face.
Deep in his eyes, there was still a hint of murderous intent.
He remembered it very clearly.
When they were about to kill the little spiritualist of the Wang family in the secret realm, the other party accidentally revealed the whereabouts of his younger sister to them. The person was called Qin Beihai.
Qin Beihai, the ninth elder in the elders' council, had a profound experience, a martial arts background, and his cultivation was also at the peak of the late great martial arts master.
It is said that his martial arts was only slightly worse than that of Qin Chaotian at the beginning.
Qin Shaochen couldn't figure it out. Why would such a person betray the old Qin family?
For this reason, he went to the ancestral temple of the old Qin family to check the family tree.
The family tree showed that among the more than 2,600 formal members of the old Qin family, only the ninth elder was called Qin Beihai.
Since then, in Qin Shaochen's mind, the ninth elder became his must-kill target.
However, the ninth elder had a profound experience, great power, and high martial arts.
It was not easy to find a suitable opportunity.
At this time, Qin Beihai was the first to jump out and curse the enemy for being cruel.
Qin Shaochen's face was filled with sneers.
He was more certain in his heart that the Ninth Elder who shouted the most fiercely was most likely related to Manager Qin.
A few minutes later, the second group of people also came back.
What they brought back was not news, but a person.
The City Lord's Mansion was the steward Huo Zhengtong.
"I heard that you are tracking down an evil cultivator from the Black Cloud Sect. Coincidentally, we have also been investigating a cruel and ruthless evil cultivator these two days."
Huo Zhengtong spoke quickly. After a few simple greetings with Fairy Yueyu and the elders, he got to the point.
"A few days ago, several people from small families came to the City Lord's Mansion to report that someone in their family had disappeared inexplicably."
"When we checked, we found that it should be an evil cultivator who secretly came to Huaitian City and captured several late-stage martial arts masters in succession."
"Later, we found that the people who were captured were not dead, but were made into puppets."
"This matter has attracted the attention of City Lord Xiong."
"Just now, I heard that you actually captured a puppet. City Lord Xiong immediately sent me here to see what was going on."
So, Qin Shaochen was ordered to walk out of the hall and bring in the blood puppet that had not yet completely died.
That blood puppet was Sun Xiaoruo's "mount", a burly man in his thirties.
He was not killed directly because he blocked Qin Shaochen's copper hammer with an iron rod.
But several sternums were still broken.
At this time, he was breathing out more and breathing in less, and he would not live long.
Huo Zhengtong immediately stepped forward to observe.
After a moment, he said with a serious face:
"Yes, it is Zhou Shikun from the Zhou family."
"He is the martial arts genius that the old Zhou family in the south of the city values most. It is said that he is very likely to be promoted to a great martial artist before the age of fifty."
Huo Zhengtong shook his head with a little regret.
"It's a pity that he met that evil cultivator and ended up dying."
After sighing, he said in a deep voice:
"Before he dies, let him regain some humanity!"
After speaking, he bent down and pulled out the golden needle from Zhou Shikun's neck.
After a moment, Zhou Shikun's eyes finally began to focus, and gradually regained a trace of rationality.
But the skin on his face quickly became loose, as if he had aged ten years in just a few minutes.
He panted, barely looked around, and finally looked at Huo Zhengtong holding the golden needle, and said with difficulty: "Thank you!"
Then he stopped breathing!
Huo Zhengtong shook his head, put the golden needle in his arms, turned his head, and said to Fairy Yueyu:
"Please ask the chief of the clan, Qin, to put Zhou Shikun's body in the coffin. I will send his body back to the Zhou family later."
Fairy Yueyu nodded slowly.
"That's what I should do."
Then she ordered the clan members to carry Zhou Shikun out for disposal.
Huo Zhengtong turned his head again and asked Qin Shaochen politely about some situations before continuing.
"From the golden needle on Zhou Shikun's neck, it is basically certain that the woman named Sun Xiaoruo is the disciple of Madam Blood Shadow of the Black Cloud Sect."
"Madam Blood Shadow?" Fairy Yueyu frowned slightly.
"What kind of person is that person?"
"A very troublesome person!"
Huo Zhengtong's face was serious and he gave a direct evaluation.
"It should be said that he is a person who is both a little scary and difficult to deal with."
"Please tell us more, Deacon Huo."
"Okay!"
Huo Zhengtong nodded very straightforwardly.
Then he sat down at the guest seat and told the story.
"In fact, the martial arts cultivation of that Blood Shadow Lady is not very high."
"The intelligence we obtained said that she is only a martial artist in the late stage of the Great Martial Master."
"But the martial arts she practiced is very strange."
"She can actually control some martial artists as her puppets through some elixirs and means."
"However, the really scary thing is that among the puppets she controls, there is actually a master-level puppet."
When he said this, everyone in the hall changed their faces.
