Wu Xiangzi chuckled and said, "Since the day I found you outside the sect when you were three years old."
Hearing this, Jiang Yin felt sad again.
He was abandoned by his parents, but he didn't expect to meet a master who doted on him so much.
From the day he took himself back to the sect, he had been protecting his safety at all times, but he didn't even know it.
"Master, thank you!"
Seeing Jiang Yin with red eyes, Wu Xiangzi pretended to be angry and said: "Why do you act like a girl, you cry like a girl. Don't say that you are my apprentice when you meet outsiders."
"By the way, I recently had a sudden realization that I need to stay in seclusion for a while. Please take it easy, kid."
After saying that, Wu Xiangzi immediately disappeared from the spot as if he had never appeared before.
Jiang Yin raised his hand to stop him, but he didn't know how to speak. He had no choice but to retract his hand, drank all the tea in the cup, and then stood up and left the restaurant.
Nightfall!
Guantian Village!
At this time, the village was in a mess, with corpses of villagers everywhere. Behind the panicked figures running around, there was a figure about one foot tall who was frantically slaughtering these unarmed villagers.
At this moment, two middle-aged couples covered in blood were lying in a pool of blood. They were holding a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old under them, and tightly covering the woman's mouth with their bloody hands.
Looking at the bone-deep wounds on her parents' backs, the girl's eyes were about to burst. Her eyes, which were bloodshot due to extreme anger, were staring at the figure not far ahead.
This figure walked upright like a human, but it had the face of a wolf, and its two erect ears alertly searched for every move around it. This was clearly a wolf monster.
Just when it seemed to notice something unusual and was about to walk towards the girl, a boy in his twenties suddenly rushed out from behind the wolf demon and shouted at the wolf demon.
"Beast, come here, I'm not afraid of you."
Hearing the sound, the wolf demon turned and rushed towards the boy, and the boy's calm eyes met the girl's, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He asked himself that he had no ability to deal with monsters, but he saved his sister with his own life, and he was satisfied.
Seeing her brother being split into two by the wolf demon's sharp claws, the girl closed her eyes tightly.
Her delicate fists tightly squeezed the corners of her clothes. Looking at her lifeless father and mother who were covering her body, the girl gradually calmed down.
She knew that if she made any more noise at this moment, the wolf demon would definitely rush over and tear her to pieces.
In that case, his parents and brother would have died in vain.
She wants to live!
She wants revenge!
No matter what, she had to witness the death of this wolf demon with her own eyes.
at all costs!
When the wolf demon left, the whole village turned into purgatory. Except for this girl, no one in the village of more than 200 people was spared, including several babies who were still in their infancy.
The girl was walking in a familiar village in despair, but now she felt so scary and strange.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone else?"
The girl shouted with all her strength, how much she hoped to hear someone respond to her, even just one person.
However, the village only responded to her with endless silence. After a long time, she slowly got up and walked out of the village.
The next day!
Xueye City Wufu received an urgent report that a village in a small county called Nanguang County under their jurisdiction was wiped out overnight. There were 231 people in the village, and now there is only one young man left. The eighteen-year-old girl managed to survive.
Because the matter was so important, the county magistrate sent people to rush to Xueye City overnight, reported the matter to the Xueye City Wu Mansion, and waited for instructions.
After receiving such a serious case, Wu Cheng could no longer sit still and immediately rushed to Nanguang County with his men.
In front of the Nanguang County Government Office, a woman was kneeling on the ground, writing two lines of words in front of her.
"I sincerely invite the heroes of the world to avenge the two hundred and thirty people of Guantian Village. Whoever kills the monster, my little girl is willing to be a slave and a maid, and serve him for life."
This situation attracted many people to come forward and watch. They saw that the girl's body and face were covered with dirty blood, and her appearance could not be seen clearly.
In addition to the monster mentioned in the writing, everyone just watched and whispered, but no one dared to stand up and fight against the so-called monster.
After all, anything that can kill so many people in one night must be extremely ferocious no matter what it is, and it is no joke.
At this time, two rows of guards ran over and stood neatly in front of the county government office, leaving only a direct road leading to the county government office.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Cheng walked quickly and went straight to the county government office.
"Lord Wu, you are here with your greatness. The little one is welcome from afar!"
The county government official's name was Zhang Kang. When he saw Wucheng, he immediately ran to the door and knelt down to greet him.
Wu Cheng looked solemn, walked straight to the county government hall and said, "Get up and speak quickly."
When Zhang Kang heard Wucheng's words, he stood up quickly and followed in panic.
Such a big thing happened in his territory, and now his heart was in his throat.
Arriving next to Wucheng, Zhang Kang was about to kneel down again, but Wucheng stopped him and said, "Now is not the time to talk about those red tapes. Please tell the whole story quickly."
Zhang Kang stopped kneeling and bowed respectfully before speaking: "Master Wu, the only survivor in the village is outside the door. It was she who came to report the case last night. Maybe she is more... To clarify what happened.”
After Wu Cheng heard this, he immediately ordered without any hesitation: "Bring the people up."
Soon, the girl kneeling at the door was brought to the hall. After looking around, she immediately knelt in front of Wu Cheng and said:
"Sir, please avenge the entire Guantian Village."
Wu Cheng raised his hand gently and said, "Girl, don't be afraid. Stand up and tell me what you saw in detail. I will definitely make the decision for you."
Hearing this, the girl gently glanced at Zhang Kang next to Wu Cheng, and saw Zhang Kang winking at her, as if to tell her not to talk nonsense.
After gritting her teeth, the girl slowly spoke.
"Last night, just after our family had dinner, we heard several miserable screams coming from the village."
"So we quickly went out to check and saw..."
"Ahem..."
As soon as the girl said this, Zhang Kang coughed twice. After the girl raised her head and glanced at him, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Wu Cheng saw this move, and the girl obviously had something to say that she didn't dare to say.
Snapped!
Wu Cheng slammed the table, stood up and roared: "County Magistrate Zhang, in front of me, do you still want to confuse right and wrong?"
Wu Cheng suddenly roared, frightening Zhang Kang to the point where he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, while explaining in panic:
"Sir, it's not that I want to confuse right and wrong. It's just that what this girl said is mysterious. I think she was frightened, so I told her not to talk nonsense in front of you, so as not to affect your judgment."
"Hmph! I will decide whether you are talking nonsense or not. If you dare to speak out again, I will give you twenty canes first."
Wu Cheng's scolding frightened Zhang Kang, who turned pale and kowtowed: "I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore."
Seeing that Zhang Kang didn't dare to make small moves, Wu Cheng put on a smile and said softly: "Don't be afraid, girl, what have you seen? Tell me in detail, and I will definitely make the decision for you."
