I couldn't afford the bride price, so I had to marry the Demon Sect Saintess

Chapter 170

Starfall Town.

Located on the back of Dongxiu, it is located on the east main road. If the monks in Dongxiu area want to go to Beihuang, Xingluo Town is a must pass.

Therefore, Xingluo Town is much more prosperous than the surrounding villages and towns.

It was Haishi, and it was raining. If it was in other towns, there would have been no pedestrians on the streets.

But at this moment, the streets of Xingluo Town are still full of people coming and going, and the restaurants, Danfu shop, magic weapon shop, inn and other shops are all noisy and lively.

Zongmen disciples from all over Dongxiu, the Northern Wilderness Treasure Exploration Team, and casual cultivators who want to try their luck in the Northern Wilderness all have to settle here. They usually rest for a night before going to the Northern Wilderness.

Xingluo Town is not a big city, but the bustling place is better than a big city.

This place was just a dilapidated small village back then, and a cultivation genius came out of the village. Later, this genius entered the Zhenyang Sect, entered the Golden Core Realm, and became a deacon disciple of the Zhenyang Sect.

He also served the head of Zhenyang Sect at that time.

With this relationship, the monk built the small village where he was born into a town.

With the support of the head of the Zhenyang Sect, the entire Dongxiu region's main throat to the Northern Wilderness was thus controlled.

This is the origin of Xingluo Town.

The monk was surnamed Chang, who later became the guard of Xingluo Town and the ancestor of the Chang family.

Since then, every guardian of Xingluo Town has been a child of the Chang family, and has never been left alone.

Among them is the acquiescence of Zhenyangzong, and it is also due to the prestige of the Chang family in Xingluo Town.

After all, it has been operating here for hundreds of years, and the ancestors of the monks in the town have received a lot of favors from the Chang family. Therefore, every time they guard the Grand Competition, the monks in other towns fight to the death.

On the other hand, Xingluo Town is peaceful, because there are no monks with other surnames who will participate in the big competition without knowing their interests.

Under the management of the Chang family, Xingluo Town is also becoming more and more prosperous, and there has never been any trouble.

However, a lot of weird things have happened in the town recently. At this moment, many residents are kneeling in front of the gate of the Chang Family's Immortal Mansion, crying and begging loudly:
"Master Zhenshou, my wife has been missing for many days and there is no news so far, please help me!"

"My lord, my wife went out to buy spiritual herbs the day before yesterday, but she disappeared mysteriously on the way, won't my wife be killed?!"

"My lord, my daughter hasn't returned for many days. I spent all my spirit stones, and I couldn't find her even when I invited the talisman master and the formation master. I beg the guard to make the decision for me!"

"My wife is pregnant, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. My lord, has someone from the Demon Sect got in our Xingluo Town?"

Those who knelt down and called for grievances were all male cultivators. Listening to what they said, it turned out that all the family members were missing.

The Chang Family Immortal Mansion was originally in the center of Xingluo Town, and there were a lot of people coming and going. These dozens of people knelt down and cried, which immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Among them, several monks who stayed overnight in Xingluo Town asked curiously to others:

"Friend Daoist, what's going on?"

The person being questioned was obviously a resident of Xingluo Town, with panic on his face, he whispered:

"Are you from another town? Let me tell you, if you have a female companion, you must keep an eye on her!"

Those few people were puzzled and said: "Why?"

The resident said in a low voice: "Over the past few months, hundreds of female cultivators have gone missing in the town, and no one has been found so far!"

"There is such a thing?!" Several people looked at each other and asked quickly: "The Chang family has always been powerful, but they can't find anyone?"

The resident said with a wry smile: "Of course the Chang family also sent people to search everywhere, but they found nothing. The weirdest thing is..."

He lowered his voice and said: "Some of the missing female cultivators disappeared at night, and some disappeared inexplicably in broad daylight. It’s like it’s been melted, and I can’t find it anymore!”

Hearing what the resident said was terrifying, those people looked at each other with a little horror.

"Shut up for me!"

At this time, the gate of the Chang Family's Immortal Mansion opened, and an imposing middle-aged male cultivator came out with his hands behind his back, and loudly yelled at the men who were kneeling and howling.

When these people saw him, they didn't dare to shout anymore, but begged softly:
"Housekeeper Lu, my wife and I have a deep relationship. If something happens to her, I don't want to live alone. I beg you to report it to the Patriarch. You must find my wife."

Others also begged, and a group of male cultivators were crying, but it was quite miserable.

Butler Lu with a goatee said coldly: "Isn't this still looking for? You are crying at the door of Chang's house, are you trying to show people a joke about our Xingluo Town?!"

He let out a cold snort, and the dozens of male cultivators couldn't help shivering. They didn't dare to make any more noise, but they still looked at Butler Lu pleadingly.

"Okay, the Patriarch asked me to tell you that the Chang family will help you continue to search for the missing family members. You go back first, don't mess around here!"

Those male cultivators didn't dare to speak any more, so they had to leave with mournful faces.

After dismissing these people, Steward Lu shook his head with a sneer, turned around and walked back to the Chang Family Immortal Mansion. The two servants guarding the door immediately closed the heavy vermilion door.

After Butler Lu entered the door, a man in black stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Butler Lu, the villain is back."

It was the messenger of the Chang family who had asked Pei Daoyu in the Lingdan Workshop of Yunling Town.

"How, have you found the trace of the third master?"

Butler Lu asked him.

Chang Chunzi ranked third in this generation of Chang family's descendants, so all the members of the Chang family called him the third master.

It's just that Chang Chunzi has the lowest talent among the five brothers in this generation, and his cultivation is also the last.

The black-clothed messenger said: "There is an alchemist named Pei Daoyu in Yunling Town, who is quite familiar with the third master. He said that he separated from the third master two months ago in Zhenyang City, and he has not seen him since. "

Chang Chunzi frowned, and the man in black hurriedly said:

"I found out that there is a newly-emerged third-tier alchemist in Yunling Town, and it seems that he has some conflicts with the third master in the business of spiritual pills."

"What is this person's name?"

"Qin Gengyun."

After half a stick of incense, Steward Lu walked through many courtyards and small bridges, and came to the house where the head of the Chang family lived.

There are several guards in front of the gate of the courtyard, and a guardian circle and a soundproof circle are painted on the door.

Steward Lu took out the talisman key that can enter and exit the formation, and inserted it into the door, which allowed him to push the door in.

Walking through a garden of red flowers and green grass, I finally came to the door of the owner's room, and suddenly heard a burst of pleading voices from inside:

"Master Patriarch, please let me go, my husband has always respected the Chang family, I, I am pregnant, please forgive me! Ah!! Hohoho"

The woman's begging sound changed suddenly, turned into a shrill scream, and then turned into gasping for breath.

In the end there was no more sound.

After a while, the door of the owner's room opened, and an extremely burly man, more than ten feet tall, walked out of the room.

He also carried a large white cloth bag on his shoulder, which was wrapped with a humanoid object. The strong man grinned at Steward Lu and walked outside.

Butler Lu looked back, only to see a hand falling out of the gap in the cloth bag behind the strong man.

The arms were slender and the palms were petite. They should have been quite fair, but now they were scorched black, shaped like chicken feet, as if a person had been sucked dry of blood and spiritual energy and turned into a mummy.

Seeing this horrific scene, Housekeeper Lu turned a blind eye and walked into the owner's room calmly.
