The Spirit World

Chapter 768 Perhaps there is also a permanent departure

[Class solidification should be an unspoken secret of the empire. 】

When Chang Yufeng, the young master of Bailing Mountain, who had caused a sensation in the entire Bailing Mountain and even the entire empire, returned to Bailing Mountain, Ning Sanqi could only stand quietly on both sides of the parade, with Wang Po holding his hand, watching the young master of Bailing Mountain return to his own Bailing Mountain surrounded by everyone.

Wang Po told him that the young master with the Chang surname would be the savior of the spiritual world and a natural born hero.

And when Wang Po, who had finally raised all the children of the Baby Pavilion to adulthood in Bailing Mountain, died in the room, Ning Sanqi could only watch quietly everyone coming in and out of this small house. His little hand was also held by Ning Hongqian. In a world without sound, there was naturally no tear.

No one has yet told Ning Sanqi what death really means.

"It's... a monster..." Chen Hao, the captain of the third team of the Bailing Mountain Imperial Guard, reported to the serious Tan Mingqiu next to him. He looked embarrassed, and Tan Mingqiu's face was also very ugly. Ning Xuefan, who was kneeling on the ground next to him, had trembling legs. He knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, as if he was facing the abyss.

Tan Mingqiu put his hands behind his back, frowned, moved his ears and looked sideways, staring at Chen Hao so hard that sweat broke out on his back. But that was what Wang Po's autopsy report said.

It was a monster that killed and ate Wang Po.

Those fine rodent marks are clearly visible. If it’s not rat bites, then what else could it be?
"Judging from the mark on Wang Po's neck, it must have been caused by the rat demon's tail. The rat demon had a small appetite, so it dug out Wang Po's heart and ate it raw, then fled..." A woman in white sighed and stood up from beside Wang Po's body. She was a disciple of the old doctor at Bailing Mountain, named Wang Xiaoling. She closed her eyes in sadness, unable to speak.

"You also think it's... a rat demon?" Tan Mingqiu exclaimed again, staring at Wang Xiaoling, and Wang Xiaoling could only nod.

"You mean! There's a rat demon in Bailing Mountain?!"

Tan Mingqiu was intimidating without being angry. He shouted and looked around at all the people who had come to the crime scene. Except for the dazed Ning Sanqi, Ning Dongqing's brother and sister, Ning Xuefan, and Chen Hao, all the other bystanders had already avoided the scene.

Not everyone can bear this kind of anger.

Tan Mingqiu's words and shouts made Ning Xuefan startled and frightened to the point of shitting and pissing. Wang Xiaoling and Chen Hao lowered their heads, which was regarded as their agreement once again.

There is indeed a rat demon in Bailing Mountain.

But there is a man-eating rat monster in Bailing Mountain. It is unprecedented and unheard of.

This is a very embarrassing thing for such an important fairy mountain as Bailing Mountain.

It is really horrifying that the rat demon eats only the heart. The Imperial Guards failed to patrol the mountains properly, so they will naturally not escape severe punishment. Ning Xuefan is the manager of the Children's Pavilion, so he will naturally be punished as well.

Punishment will definitely come, but the matter needs to be clarified.

"Yesterday...yesterday the young master came back to the mountain, everyone was so happy, I...I drank some wine, and then...I fell asleep...I fell asleep...Who knew that this would happen...I deserve to die! I deserve to die!" Ning Xuefan slapped him in the face, but every word he said was true and there was no way to negotiate.

"Who is this kid? Why is he here?" Tan Mingqiu obviously didn't know about Ning Sanqi's existence, so he could only look at him slowly. The ferocious look on his face turned Ning Sanqi's confusion into a little fear, and he leaned towards Ning Hongqian.

This is a suspicion that Ning Sanqi might be a hidden monster. Although this suspicion is groundless, basically no one dares to question Tan Mingqiu.

Ning Xuewei rushed to shout: "This is the child that Uncle Li, the gatekeeper, found at the foot of the mountain. It's been seven years and is being taken care of by Grandma Wang."

"Hmph..." Tan Mingqiu was so angry that he couldn't find a way to vent his anger. He changed his expression slightly, and his anger subsided a little: "Why don't you go catch the rat demon?!" Chen Hao didn't dare to say anything after hearing that. He shouted yes and quickly turned into a pile of black feathers, disappearing in front of everyone.

"There is a monster...Bai Ling Mountain...It's really ridiculous!" Tan Mingqiu waved his hands, his old hands trembled a few times, and then he left with a snort, leaving Ning Xuefan who was sweating profusely and the others who dared not say a word.

Everyone slowed down and paused for a moment, not understanding what Tan Mingqiu meant.

But now, we have to clean up.

If a monster appeared in Bailing Mountain, it would be a joke, so the people would be dead, but the monster had to be caught.

"It's really hard to say much about this matter..." Wang Xiaoling took a gourd, gathered her fingers and used her spiritual power to suck in Wang Po's body and blood.

"Hey...this..." Ning Dongqing was about to stop him, but stopped.

Zhang Xiaoling glanced at him, lowered her head, and silently plugged the bottle mouth with a gourd. Seeing Ning Dongqing puzzled, she could only shake her head and sigh: "This is a golden rusted rat demon, which specializes in eating the hearts of adults. This child has saved his life. However, if he stays here, something bad will definitely happen again. The golden rusted rat demon will find corpses to build nests and give birth to cubs."

Wang Xiaoling glanced at Ning Sanqi. Ning Sanqi couldn't hear anything and could only look at her blankly.

"I heard from Master that there is a deaf-mute child in the Children's Pavilion. Now Grandma Wang is gone. You are disciples and cannot take the child with you. You should raise the child with me..." Wang Xiaoling reached out to Ning Sanqi. Ning Sanqi shrank behind Ning Hongqian, and Ning Hongqian could only pause for a while, touched Ning Sanqi's head, and pushed him out.

It was like pushing him out of a gentle harbor, leaving him to bear all the wind and rain alone.

It was only when Wang Xiaoling took Ning Sanqi to an empty room that he realized that Wang Po might really never come back.

He didn't understand the meaning of death, and naturally had no concept of death. He could only feel a serious departure that could never be changed.

Sanqi is a witness and the key to luring out the rat demon. Naturally, he would not be arranged by anyone unintentionally. He was taken back by Wang Xiaoling, which was naturally agreed upon by everyone.

Maybe it’s because Sanqi is not good enough that Wang Po will never appear again.

Wang Xiaoling gave Ning Sanqi a separate room, performed the ritual herself, and stood guard outside the door. She had to do this because that night, the golden rusty flower rat demon must have also smelled Ning Sanqi's scent, but ate Wang Po's heart out of habit.

There is actually no reason why the monsters eat humans, nor is it a habit that is easy to understand. It’s just that because the golden rusty rat monster species eats more adults, we can only assume this.

After the rat demon sniffs people, most of them will come looking for them, so this is not entirely Wang Xiaoling's intention, the Imperial Guards' intention is also involved.

The member of the Imperial Guard who followed Wang Xiaoling was a disciple named Xu Anran. They stood guard outside Ning Sanqi's door, waiting for the arrival of the rat demon.

It would be better for the rat demon to run away and not come back, because in this way Bailing Mountain will not lose face, and it will not be killed by Bailing Mountain.

Or maybe, the rat demon is not a rat demon, and Bailing Mountain is not Bailing Mountain.

Since the rat demon had never been to Bailing Mountain, Wang Po could be said to have committed suicide, and Bailing Mountain would not be at fault. Everyone would then be immersed in the joyous time of their young master's return, and would be tireless.
