Green Mountain Town seemed to be extraordinarily noisy tonight, a little different from the usual.

The reason for this was that the real killer of dozens of people had been caught and was now lying tied up in the mayor’s house. And the one who caught the real killer was the young daoist who just arrived in town two days ago.

The people of the town heard the news, did not care to rest, and hurriedly dressed before running to the mayor’s home. When they looked inside, they really saw someone in the courtyard. The killer was tied up tight with a thick rope, and now already on the ground constantly struggling. The people fixed their eyes and found that the man had not long ago come to the town, asking the people for a thousand pieces of top quality spirit stones before catching the demon cultivator for everyone, Daoist Fang.

The people’s faces were all shocked. Thinking about it, they could not understand how the person who was going to catch the murderer became the murderer overnight.

Lu Ming, who was standing at the side, took out the small mirror from his pocket and the noisy crowd immediately quieted down.

The mayor nodded his head and said with a respectful expression, “Let’s start now, Master.”

Lu Ming nodded and mouthed a few phrases, then the small mirror immediately released a light blue luster. The luster became stronger and stronger, Lu Ming raised the mirror and shone it towards the struggling Daoist Master Fang. In a flash, the mirror suddenly sounded like someone talking, and when the blue light gradually dissipated, an image appeared on the mirror surface that stunned the crowd.

The person who appeared in the mirror was none other than Daoist Master Fang, standing on the stone road on the west side of the town, with a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth. He was putting a pill emitting green light in his hand into the mouth of the person lying on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the person lying on the ground immediately woke up, twitching all over.

“This is Wang Qiu, the son of Wang Daniang’s family!” At this moment, a cry of alarm erupted from the crowd. The crowd hurriedly turned their eyes to the person in the mirror, and it was indeed Wang Qiu, who had been killed a few days ago.

Seeing Wang Qiu struggling, Daoist Master Fang in the small mirror did not change his face at all, instead he squatted down and said with a cold smile, “This Soul Dissolving Pill is very precious, so don’t struggle.”

Wang Qiu’s expression looked a little distorted because of the pain, he stared dead at the person who harmed him, reached out his hand to cling to the robe worn by Daoist Master Fang. His mouth let out a painful moan, the skin on his body turned purple in just a few seconds, looking horrible.

Daoist Fang coldly grunted and broke Wang Qiu’s fingers one by one, stood up and coldly watched him struggle in pain on the ground. In ten minutes or less, Wang Qiu screamed, and then turned into a puddle of blood, only a pile of clothes left on the ground.

Daoist Master Fang bent down and found the kernel from the pile of clothes and put it carefully into a porcelain bottle. With a slightly amused expression, he said, “What a bunch of fools. By the time you have handed over the thousand top quality spirit stones to me, I will have collected enough kernels. What a wonderful way to kill two birds with one stone, hahaha!”

The sound of Daoist Master Fang’s laughter was harsh and unpleasant, echoing in the ears of the crowd, causing everyone to be filled with righteous indignation. They all glared at him, wanting to rush forward and give him a saber, in order to vent their anger and resentment.

Daoist Fang used the same method to kill more than ten people in Green Mountain Town. The deaths were almost exactly the same as Lu Ming expected, it was really the reason why Daoist Fang fed the soul dissolving pills.

Lu Ming coldly glanced at Daoist Master Fang, his eyes were cold, “What else do you have to say?”

Daoist Fang’s face was pale, but still struggled, “I am a Kunlai Mountain cultivator! If you dare to kill me, ask to see Kunlai sect if they agree!”

Lu Ming smiled lightly, but his eyes were calm, “I’ve never been afraid of anyone in my life, and it’s useless for you to use Kunlai Mountain as a shield. Today I will clean up your Kunlai Mountain for you.”

The fear in Daoist Master Fang’s eyes increased as he struggled and roared, “How dare you!”

Lu Ming’s mouth curved up into a cold smile, and took out a long sword from the interspatial ring, pointing it at Daoist Master Fang, “How dare you?” He said, with a cold look in his eyes, he raised the long sword and stabbed it straight at Daoist Master Fang.

“Hold on!”

Lu Ming was astonished and hastily withdrew his long sword and took a few steps backwards, looking warily at the place where the voice came from, his eyes cold.

The closed door was suddenly pushed open and a young man in a blue robe walked in slowly. He was bashful, his eyes were warm like water, his body emitted a floating and dusty aura. The appearance also seemed to be real, obviously very close, but a closer look, not quite real, as if it was covered with a layer of fog, as if in a dream.

Lu Ming’s heart was frozen. He hastily collected his mind. This person was not simple, the minimum grade was late stage sub-divine, higher than his own not just a little bit and a half. He did not know whether he was an enemy or friend. If he was an enemy, with his current power, there was no chance of winning, so it was a bit dangerous.

Lu Ming’s heart thought so, but suddenly sensed the wrist of the fixed soul magic Artifact had a strange movement. He was a bit puzzled, and without changing his face, he sent a voice to Ming Duo, “What’s wrong?”

Ming Duo suddenly laughed a few times, and his body trembled more than. Only after a long time did he hold back his inner urge, his eyes were red, and he squeezed out a few words from his mouth, “This is the man who ruined my family.”

Lu Ming heard the words, his heart suddenly shocked, how can there be such a coincidence? 

Lu Ming suppressed his shock and said, “What do you want to do?”

Ming Duo sneered and then said, “My two souls are probably still in his hands, so don’t startle the snake for now.”

Lu Ming’s expression became grave before he said, “I have reinforced this soul-fixing magic Artifact with several layers of talismans. I think he should not be able to sense your breath, you must not make too much movement, in case he finds out.”

Ming Duo muffled a sound, really convergence of breath, shrink in the magic Artifact and no longer speaking.

The young man, as if he could see Lu Ming’s caution, came forward with a slight smile and said, “This fellow Daoist, I am a Daoist on Kunlai Mountain, this Daoist Fang, formerly known as Fang Xu, is an outer Disciple under the Kunlai Sect. However, can this person be handed over to Kunlai Mountain for disposal? Kunlai Mountain will definitely deal with him impartially and will not show favoritism.”

Fang Xu’s expression suddenly became twisted, the fear in his eyes seemed to have reached its limit. His body trembled involuntarily, and only after a long time did he spit out one word, “Palm, Palm.”

Before he could finish his sentence, Daoist Master Fang’s eyes suddenly rolled over and he was so scared that he passed out.

Lu Ming saw the situation and secretly thought, “This person should be of high status in Kunlai Mountain, otherwise this Daoist would not have reacted so badly. He is, after all, one of your Kunlai people.”

The man was not angry and smiled back, “This person has done wrong, killed several people, the method is extremely cruel. Kunlai will not harbor this person, and will be dealt with according to the rules of the sect. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you come with me to Kunlai?”

Lu Ming said indifferently, “I don’t have any say in this matter, just discuss it with the mayor. If he agrees, it’s fine with me.”

The man immediately nodded to the mayor and said, “Can you leave this man to me? I can ask this daoist master to accompany me to Kunlai to supervise, and I will definitely give an explanation to Green Mountain Town.”

The mayor pondered for a moment, then nodded his head and bowed to Lu Ming, pleading, “This Kunlai is the number one sect in Cultivation World, so I think it will not go back on its word. I would like to ask the daoist master to go with me to take a look, so that I can give an explanation to the dead people. “

Lu Ming walked forward, helped the mayor up, and said warmly, “There is no need to be polite, I will go to Kunlai Mountain with him now.”

With tears in his eyes, the mayor said gratefully, “Please tell me your name, so that I can always remember your kindness.”

Lu Ming smiled lightly and said, “It’s not a big deal.”

At that moment, before the mayor could ask another question, Lu Ming suddenly changed his expression and turned around and ran towards the door. After running for a while, he suddenly stopped and turned back to the man and said sharply, “I ran into an old friend, I will come back tomorrow to find you and go to Kunlai together.”

After saying that, he flew away again, moving smoothly and quickly, and soon disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes, leaving only a group of people looking at each other.

Lu Ming, while using his aura to quickly fly towards the east, his heart was still beating violently, his body was even shaking slightly because of the tension. His eyes were shining with excitement, which also looked brilliant in the dark night.

Lu Ming’s heart was full of ripples, and his fists couldn’t help but clench. There was absolutely no mistake, the faint breath that he sensed in the courtyard just now, was definitely Jing Mo!

Lu Ming’s lips were tightly pursed, his aura release reached an unprecedented intensity, and the speed of his flying body became faster and faster. The faint aura had become fainter and fainter, and he had to catch up with Jing Mo before it disappeared completely.

But to Lu Ming’s disappointment, time passed until a full half hour later, but still failed to catch up with the person in front of him. Lu Ming’s face became paler and paler, his body gradually felt weak, and the pain like pins and needles gradually spread to his body, but he still held back the pain, gritted his teeth and kept chasing ahead.

Lu Ming ran again for a long time, but still could not catch up with the person in front of him, but his body had reached its limit. Lu Ming felt his brain suddenly rumbled, his ears buzzing. His body could no longer support, from mid-air slowly landed on the ground. His legs went limp and he couldn’t help but half-kneel on the ground, his chest heaving violently, panting heavily. The pain in the chest was so severe that the fishy sweet taste in the mouth filled the entire mouth, a trace of blood dripped down the corner of the mouth.

Lu Ming’s fists clenched tightly, the light in the eyes also gradually extinguished. His heart was bubbling with sorrow, just now, Jing Mo’s breath had disappeared.

For ten years of uninterrupted search, there had never been a moment of vulnerability, but now, for the first time, Lu Ming felt sad and powerless, and his eyes suddenly became a little blurry. After a long time, Lu Ming reached out to wipe his face and found himself unaware that his face was full of tears.

“What do you keep running after me for?” Suddenly, a low voice came from behind.

Lu Ming heard the voice, suddenly shaken, the body could not help but tremble. His tears were not dry, and hurriedly turned around, and looked violently towards the person behind him.

The person was wearing a black tunic, handsome and indifferent face, a pair of eyes sharp as if saber sword, a slight frown between the eyes, and was really puzzled by Lu Ming’s behavior.

The urgency and excitement in Lu Ming’s eyes suddenly quickly extinguished when he saw the other person’s face, he turned away in dismay, his eyes dropped in disappointment, his eyelashes trembled gently, and murmured, “Not him.”
