Chapter 91 The Fall of the Deacon

After carefully searching the village and finding no useful clues, everyone headed towards the village entrance.

Walking along the small path in the village, the atmosphere was a little silent and no one spoke for a while.

When everyone arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw the figure of the ghost leopard walking towards them from the other side.

"Ghost Leopard, did you find anything over there?"

Qian Renxue looked at the returning ghost leopard and asked.

"Young Master, Miss."

"I found several corpses wearing our Spirit Hall uniforms over there, but there were no signs of fighting around them. So according to my subordinates' inference, the person who committed the crime in this village is most likely an evil spirit master."

Ghost Leopard's expression was very serious, and his voice was full of solemnity.

The reason why he inferred that it was the work of an evil soul master was that it was basically impossible for a normal soul master to be so cruel as to slaughter the entire village and kill the people in their Spirit Hall.

"Take us to see it."

There was a hint of anger in Qian Renxue's eyes, and her fair hands clenched into fists involuntarily.

"Yes, my lord."

The ghost leopard agreed and led the way.

Qian Renxue, Ye Xi, Tian Yao, Ling Yuan and others followed the ghost leopard and walked forward.

Soon, everyone came to the place where the ghost leopard was. There were three corpses here, all of them wearing the deacon uniforms of the Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue looked at the corpses on the ground, while Ye Xi looked around.

"There are absolutely no signs of fighting around."

"This also means that these three deacons had no ability to resist before they died."

Ye Xi looked at the surroundings, his voice full of seriousness.

"Let's go to the Spirit Hall which is the closest to here first."

"See if we can get any clues, and ask them to send someone to clean up the place."

After calming herself down, Qian Renxue turned around and walked back in the direction she came from.

Ye Xi and Tian Yao didn't say anything, walking on Qian Renxue's left and right.

Gui Bao and Ling Yuan quickly followed their pace.

Returning to where the carriage was parked, Qian Renxue, Ye Xi, Tian Yao, and Ling Yuan entered the carriage, while Gui Bao sat at the front of the carriage and drove it towards the Spirit Hall, which was the nearest place.

……

Fengning City.

The main hall of Wuhun.

Shi Yang, who was in charge of the main hall, was looking at the information in his hands with a gloomy expression.

"Two villages, two entire villages were massacred, and three deacons are missing."

“You haven’t found anything.”

"What do you do for food?"

Shi Yang slammed the information on the table, and the last sentence was almost a roar.

Hearing Shi Yang's roar, the deacons standing below looked at each other, then lowered their heads and said nothing.

Seeing their silence, Shi Yang became more furious and he slammed the table several times, making a bang, bang, bang sound.

"Why aren't you talking anymore?"

"If this matter is not handled properly, none of us, from top to bottom, will suffer the consequences."

Shi Yang's voice was filled with anger, and his eyes swept over the deacons below. "Master, this matter is probably beyond the ability of our main hall to handle. Why don't we report it to the Spirit Temple and have them send someone to investigate?"

A deacon stepped forward and spoke tentatively.

After hearing his words, the other deacons couldn't help but echo him.

The deacons present had all investigated this matter, but they had no clues and could not find anything useful.

Shi Yang, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but think seriously as he listened to the voices of agreement from below.

If he reported it now, he could already imagine the angry expression of the Platinum Bishop of the Temple, but if he didn't report it, if something happened again, it would be something he couldn't bear.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shi Yang was just about to agree to report the matter to the Platinum Bishop of the Temple when he saw the door of the room being pushed open and Qian Renxue, Ye Xi and others walked in from outside.

"who!"

"This is the main hall where we hold meetings. How can we barge in?"

Shi Yang, the person in charge, was already filled with anger. When he saw someone breaking in without notifying the door, he could no longer suppress his anger and immediately slammed the table in anger.

But as soon as Shi Yang's voice fell, Ling Yuan and Gui Bao took out a token and threw it towards Shi Yang.

The two tokens were thrown onto the table very accurately. After Shi Yang saw the two tokens clearly, his angry expression disappeared. He immediately stood up from his seat and bowed respectfully.

"I met two elders."

Shi Yang's voice was full of respect, and his originally angry expression turned into a smile.

"Get up."

Qian Renxue waved her hand nonchalantly and walked straight to Shi Yang's seat and sat down.

Ye Xi, Tian Yao, Ling Yuan, Gui Bao and others just found a place to sit in the room.

Shi Yang and the deacons of the Wuhun Main Hall stood respectfully below.

"Thirty miles outside Fengning City, a village was massacred. Three deacons of the Spirit Hall died in the village. Do you know about this?"

Her golden eyes scanned the people below, and no emotion could be heard in Qian Renxue's voice.

Hearing this, Shi Yang, who was in charge of the main hall, took a step forward with some trepidation.

"A few days ago, news came out that villages around here were being massacred. After receiving the news, I immediately sent people to the villages to investigate."

“But…but…”

When it came to the latter part, Shi Yang was a little unable to continue, and his eyes were carefully observing Qian Renxue's expression.

"But what?"

"Just tell us what you have found out."

"Don't be so hesitant and unable to explain yourself."

Qian Renxue glanced at Shi Yang below and spoke in a neutral tone.

“But we didn’t find anything.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, the three fallen deacons should be the deacons of our main hall, because three deacons of our main hall disappeared not long ago."

After Shi Yang finished speaking, he lowered his head.

Qian Renxue didn't say anything else, but her eyes were on the information on the table. She picked up the information and looked through it carefully.

The room became so quiet at this moment that you could hear a pin drop.

Ye Xi, Tian Yao, Ling Yuan, and Gui Bao had no intention of speaking, but their eyes were scanning Shi Yang and the deacons in the main hall.

Facing the gazes of Ye Xi and others, Shi Yang kept his head down and said nothing, but the faint sweat on his forehead showed that he was not at peace in his heart.
