But before there was any time to make any new plans, several strange things happened one after another in the village.
Within a day, there are always young villagers missing mysteriously. When they are found, most of them are found around the village, but they have been dead for a long time and their bodies look extremely old.
When Ye Chen heard the news, the first thing he thought of was that an evil cultivator was nearby.
He carefully examined the corpses of the villagers and found that not only were their bodies aging, but a lot of blood in their bodies seemed to have been lost, and he didn't know where they went.
But there were no wounds on the body.
In this way, Ye Chen was more certain that it must have been done by evil cultivators.
Upon hearing this conclusion, the villagers in Taiping Village suddenly panicked and hurriedly begged Ye Chen to drive away the evil cultivators and restore stability to the village.
Ye Chen comforted the villagers and asked them to stay at home as much as possible and not go out, and then went to track down the murderer's whereabouts.
At the end of the day, I found nothing.
That night, Ye Chen had just put Ah Mao to bed when he suddenly heard a loud cry in the village, and he hurriedly followed the sound.
By the time Ye Chen followed the sound and rushed to a house, the whole family had suffered a tragic accident and no one was spared.
It seems that this evil cultivator has no scruples and does not take Ye Chen seriously at all!
Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, Ye Chen was filled with rage and vowed to catch this evil cultivator and avenge his family!
At this moment, another scream came from a distance, but it was from the other side of the village.
Ye Chen rushed to the scene as quickly as possible, but he still didn't arrive in time. The murderer had already disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, shouts rang out again from the other end of the village, and Ye Chen turned back, only to see many villagers coming out of their homes in panic, gathering on the street and crying in horror.
Ye Chen asked hurriedly: "Have you seen where the murderer went?"
The gathered villagers all pointed behind Ye Chen.
He turned around suddenly, but there was no one behind him.
"You don't need to panic. Since everyone has come out, just call everyone in the village together. I don't believe the murderer hasn't shown up yet!"
Ye Chen asked the villagers to gather in the middle of the village, and he rushed to the other end of the village to inform other villagers.
As soon as they arrived at the village, screams rang out again from a house.
Ye Chen immediately broke open the door and entered, but there was still no one except corpses on the ground.
"Who are you? What's the point of hiding your head and showing your tail!"
Ye Chen couldn't help roaring, his voice resounding throughout the village: "Show up if you can!"
"Haha, we are old friends."
The voice of a strange young man came from a distance, right in the middle of the village.
"Oops!"
Ye Chen secretly screamed something bad and hurried to the center of the village without even bothering to notify the villagers at this end.
There are a lot of villagers gathered there, and the murderer appears there, so that's okay!
Arriving at the center of the village, Ye Chen saw at a glance a young man standing in front of the trembling villagers, holding a black cane in his hand.
Judging from his cultivation level, it seemed that it was even higher than his own. Although he felt familiar, Ye Chen couldn't remember who the other person was.
Ye Chen asked loudly: "Who are you?"
"Haha...it's only been a few days, have you forgotten the blood debt you caused?"
Blood debt?
Ye Chen was suddenly shocked: "Are you a disciple of the Xuanxue Sect?"
The young man chuckled and asked, "What? I just changed my body, so you can't recognize me?"
Ye Chen looked at the ghost head on the crutch in the young man's hand and immediately remembered his identity.
"You are... the Bloody Spirit Lord!"
"Boy! You just recognized me now, it's already too late!"
"Today I will teach you that to cut weeds, we must root them out!" The Bloody Lord smiled proudly, drew a circle in front of him with the ghost-headed staff in his hand, and said, "Everyone here must die with you!"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers behind him burst into tears.
"you dare!"
Ye Chen suddenly said angrily: "If you dare to touch anyone again, I will make sure you die without any body parts today!"
This sentence is more than just a threat. Even though the rules restrict the use of the Heavenly Sword and some martial arts, the Destruction Dao Seal has restraint on it and is fully capable of doing this. Moreover, the Bloody Spirit Master, who has already tried it once, naturally has the ability to do so. With personal experience.
However, he saw the Bloody Lord chuckle lightly and said nonchalantly: "That's not necessarily the case."
Before Ye Chen could speak again, the voices of a large number of villagers came from behind him. He hurriedly looked back and saw that the villagers he had not had time to notify were running forward in fear, as if there were terrifying monsters chasing behind them.
When the villagers ran not far from him, a figure suddenly flashed across the night sky, and then another figure stood in front of the group of villagers.
When he saw the person's identity, he turned out to be the right protector of the Xuanxue Sect.
No wonder the murderer was able to commit crimes quickly at both ends of the village tonight, but he couldn't catch him at all. It turned out that the two of them cooperated.
The guardians on the left and right came together and stood on both sides of the street. Behind them, a large number of villagers gathered and surrounded Ye Chen in the open space in the center of the village.
Ye Chen looked at the two guardians, one on the left and one on the right, and suddenly felt regretful, his eyes solemn.
He had the opportunity to kill these two people, but he let them go twice, which led to tonight's situation.
What he didn't know was that the two people, the Bloody Spirit Master, had not found him recently, but had quietly followed him a few days ago.
Because Ye Chen didn't even think about guarding against the Xuanxue Sect's revenge and moved forward slowly along the way, it was easy for the two of them to catch up with him.
However, at that time, the right protector had not recovered from his serious injury, and the left protector had not fully recovered, so the two of them just followed Ye Chen from a distance and did not make any moves.
Until he moved into Taiping Village.
Seeing that Ye Chen was getting along well with the villagers in Taiping Village, the two of them immediately came up with a plan to restrain Ye Chen from destroying the seal.
This led to a series of mysterious disappearances and deaths, as well as the ghost-like massacre tonight.
After the Right Protector drove the villagers to the scene, he immediately asked loudly: "You ants, do you want to let yourselves live?"
When the villagers heard the right protector's question, they immediately fell to their knees and cried, shouting: "Please let us live!"
The Bloody Lord sneered, pointed at Ye Chen in the crowd and said, "I can let you live, as long as you step forward and kill him!"
Upon hearing this condition, the villagers, who had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, suddenly fell into despair.
Not to mention that Ye Chen had shown kindness to the villagers after he came to the village. Even if this relationship was discarded, how could they kill Ye Chen with their strength?
The Bloody Spirit Master looked at the hesitant expressions of the villagers and asked: "What? You don't want to do this? If you don't do this, you will die on the spot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost-headed staff swung back and hit a villager behind him, causing him to splatter blood on the spot.
