The missing children were found, but they were bodies.
Of more than 200 children, none survived. The families who lost their children cried heartbreakingly and their hearts were broken.
For a time, the entire world of cultivators fell into a huge panic, fearing that their children would follow suit.
Many of the dead children were the next generation of the major sects, or they were young men and ladies from a family that cultivated immortality. They couldn't stand this anger, so they all asked their ancestors to investigate the matter.
But even if they turned Kyushu upside down, they still couldn't find the person behind it.
After all, the person who harmed them has returned to the upper world to share a family relationship with their children.
Xiang Zhihan was so busy outside every day that he was dizzy, but even if he tried his best, he could not find out the murderer behind it.
He leaned against the tree trunk in the wild. The moon above his head was very round, but he only felt cold.
The next day, Xiang Zhihan rushed to the Immortal Alliance. The hall was packed with people, all of whom were prominent figures in the world of immortality.
"Senior, you are finally here."
"Yes, we are waiting for you."
"Zhihan, do you have a clue about what happened this time?"
Xiang Zhihan raised his eyes and met a pair of expectant eyes and eager faces.
"Speak to me, senior. Now you are the undisputed number one in the world of immortality. If you don't have a clue, what will the rest of us do?"
"Yes, if we don't find out the person behind this, there's no guarantee he won't do it again!"
"The people behind this are trying to kill us! We can't just sit back and wait for death."
Everyone said something to each other, with not only worry but also deep fear in their eyes.
They attacked children this time, who knows who they will target next time?
This unknown terror is far scarier than the enemy on the surface.
After everyone finished discussing, they finally focused their attention on Xiang Zhihan.
"Senior, what do you think we should do about this?"
Since no one in the world of immortality has successfully ascended, the monks' Taoist minds will be more or less affected, but this influence has led to the decline of talents in the world of immortality.
Anyway, no matter how hard you try, you can't ascend to immortality, so why do you have to work so hard?
Might as well live every day in front of you.
Therefore, many monks have the same idea as Lin Rufeng, wandering around the world all day long, just getting by.
And Xiang Zhihan is not only the expectation of the ancestors of Qingyun Sect, but also the hope of the entire world of immortality.
The shackles on his body were so heavy that every step he took cost him a huge price.
He is like the bright moon being held up in the sky and not allowed to set.
Xiang Zhihan: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I haven't found any clues about this matter so far."
There was an uproar in the hall. If they couldn't even find Xiang Zhihan, what else could they do?
Isn’t this a lamb to be slaughtered?
"This is how to do ah?"
"Senior, don't you have any clues?"
"Senior, have you checked carefully?"
"Even Xiang Zhihan can't do anything, so what can we do?"
Everyone was whispering non-stop, and their eyes without exception became more panicked.
Among them, several people with stable temperaments and considerable status raised their hands to stop everyone's discussion.
"Don't say anything else." He said, "Even though Zhihan is capable, we can't rely on Zhihan alone."
"Leader You, we also know what you are saying. We have not been idle during these days. All the disciples in the sect have been sent out, but it is useless."
"Yes, the entire Kyushu has almost been turned over by us, but there is no clue at all."
"This is really strange."
"Senior Xiang, you are the person with the highest cultivation level among us. You must think of a way."
"Senior Xiang, isn't it because he is a loner that he doesn't care about this matter?" A sudden sarcasm stood out among the many voices.
Xiang Zhihan's heart sank and he looked at the person who spoke.
Leader You yelled, "Ji Xiao, what are you talking about?! Everyone can see how much effort Zhihan put into this matter. Apologize to Zhihan now."
Xiang Zhihan knew Ji Xiao, he was the leader of Xiaoyao Sect.
The lost child of their Xiaoyao Sect is the next generation successor who he protects like a jewel and treats it like a treasure.
The others didn't speak. Maybe some of them had the same idea as Ji Xiao, but they didn't dare to say it.
Under the pressure of Alliance Leader You, Ji Xiao had to reluctantly apologize to Xiang Zhihan.
"I'm sorry, I was too sad, and I didn't have the right words for a while."
This episode passed quickly, and everyone began to discuss with each other their guesses and ideas about the person behind it.
After the conversation, many people ran to Xiang Zhihan and begged him to catch the person behind him. If he succeeded, they were willing to thank him with heavy gifts.
After everyone left, Xiang Zhihan sat alone in the courtyard. He looked at the withering lotus flowers in the courtyard and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Senior brother." Lin Rufeng appeared out of nowhere, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If...if you really can't find out, no one will blame you."
Xiang Zhihan glanced at Lin Rufeng lightly, the meaning in his eyes was clear, no one blamed him?
He just said in the palace that he had not found any clues, and the eyes of those people changed.
"Brother, don't care too much about what others say." Lin Rufeng said, "Just do your best."
Xiang Zhihan did not answer his question, but asked abruptly, "Junior brother, do you think we have been abandoned by God?"
"What?"
"Don't you find it strange?" Xiang Zhihan said, "No matter how hard the ancestors tried, they could never ascend successfully. It was as if a pair of invisible hands pushed them back."
“At that time, I thought, have we done something wrong and been rejected by God?”
Lin Rufeng lowered his eyes and said softly, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with staying here all the time."
Xiang Zhihan stopped talking. He knew that Lin Rufeng had always scorned the idea of ascension.
But the loss of the child this time was not something that people in their world could do.
It was too mysterious and neat, and he couldn't find even a single useful clue.
Some things, if you don’t ascend, will never have an answer.
They are trapped here, like pigs in captivity, and may be killed by the farm owner at any time.
Xiang Zhihan searched for clues for several days, but found nothing.
He simply returned to his sect and wanted to ask his master for advice.
"Girl! Miss Jiang!" Zhao Qing held the food box with a happy face, "Senior Brother Xiang is back."
Jiang Buwan was overjoyed, she finally waited until Xiang Zhihan came back.
She asked, "Where is Zhihan now?"
Zhao Qing scratched his head and said, "I don't know either, but I heard from other senior brothers that senior brother Xiang is back. I think senior brother Xiang will come to see you soon."
"This girl has been waiting here every day for Senior Brother Xiang to return. She is so infatuated."
Jiang Buwan smiled and said nothing.
