After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 271 Killed 1
The other party won't be able to escape!
Inside the array plate was like an isolated world; Mo Yu couldn't teleport out, let alone call for help.

She would then move the array plate to a safer location, kill the person within the array plate, and return to Wooden City.

"..."

The male cultivator who received ten high-grade spirit stones moved his lips, but in the end, he said nothing.

Speechless!

What's the difference between giving ten high-grade spirit stones and giving money to a beggar?
Seeing the constipated look on the man's face, Lin Yan looked at him with a sinister gaze: "What? You still think it's not enough? Do you know that ten high-grade spirit stones are already a lot for a low-level cultivator?"

You can rent a house in Mu City for a month and it won't even cost a single high-grade spirit stone!
"No...no less." If he dared to open his mouth to refute, he would be met with a beating.

She threw the person out of the array and released them.

They set up formations in the courtyard beforehand, just waiting for others to come to them.

It doesn't matter if the male cultivator didn't manage to lure the person over; he can just find another opportunity to kill them.

After a long day of activity, as dusk approached, she locked the gate and sat in the courtyard to cultivate.

Perhaps because she had witnessed the demonic seed being activated with her own eyes, she couldn't calm down.

He spread his divine sense over the entire city and heard a shrill scream. A black cat appeared in his field of vision and then disappeared.

She opened her eyes and withdrew her consciousness, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

Why is that black cat so eerie? Has she been targeted by a demon?
Being targeted by demons is never a good thing! Demons act without rules or constraints; killing is their only pleasure. Therefore, a demon who targets you will stop at nothing to kill you.

Those eyes were so unsettling that she couldn't help but feel a bit pressured.

There was a knock on the door early in the morning. I scanned the area with my spiritual sense to make sure there was no danger before going out to open the door.

The person should first identify themselves and then state their purpose.

They were city guards. Someone had died last night, not far from her residence, and they came to inquire about it.

Lin Yan cooperated and told him about the strange noises and screams she had heard.

She didn't say that it was against regulations for her to use her divine sense to survey Mu City in the middle of the night.

She cooperated, which saved them a lot of trouble. They didn't make things difficult for her and even reminded her before leaving that Mucheng hadn't been very peaceful at night for the past month, so she shouldn't go out in the middle of the night.

She nodded in agreement and watched them leave.

To prevent panic, the city lord ordered a ban on discussing the strange occurrences in the city, and when she went out, she noticed that the number of patrols and guards in the city had increased.

For some reason, she felt uneasy. The guards said that strange things had been happening in Mu City from time to time for the past month, and one person had even died because of it.

The increased patrols only started today. Why weren't patrols increased before, when problems were already detected? Was it to avoid alerting the enemy?

That reason is barely plausible...

I learned from the guards that someone had died under suspicious circumstances over the past month, and that person died last night.

The fact that a murder occurred that very night after the demonic seed inside the girl was eaten and she died is too much of a coincidence.

She had no clue what to do; it all felt too complicated and she couldn't make sense of it at all. She wandered around the wooden city, listening to the gossip of passersby, before returning to her residence.

After telling her master about the current situation in Mucheng, she continued to meditate and cultivate.

She felt a faint burning sensation on her wrist, so she quickly used her divine sense to investigate her surroundings and saw a cat on the roof with its eyes glowing a faint green light.

The cat paused and glanced in the direction of her residence. Lin Yan quickly withdrew her divine sense.

We've just been discovered?

She had a strong feeling that there was something strange about the black cat!
Without giving it much thought, she went straight to catch the cat. This wasn't some secluded secret realm; as long as she was careful not to be pulled into an isolated space, she could escape on her own.

She chased them all the way to the woods in the western corner of the city, then gave up and turned back.

We've chased them this far enough. The woods are too easy to set traps in; it's not advisable to go any further.

That cat might be bait someone else put out to lure her in.

Just as she was about to leave, a cat appeared, and when she tried to chase after it, the cat darted back into the woods.

Good heavens, he really wants to lure her into the woods!

That's a rather low-level tactic. Was he deliberately trying to provoke her by revealing a weakness?

He only got tricked by following them into the woods in a fit of anger.

She stood there for about ten seconds, and sure enough, the cat came out again, giving her a provocative look.

Lin Yan threw a binding talisman, but it missed. The cat nimbly jumped away and darted into the woods.

The cat thought the person would chase after it, but when it turned around and found no one, it bared its teeth and darted away again...

Seeing that the person had already started to walk back, it got anxious and jumped forward to block them, but unexpectedly, another talisman came flying towards it.

Damn!

It bared its teeth and jumped away, then tried to turn around and go into the woods, only to find an invisible wall in front of it. It jumped and crashed into it with a dull thud.

Looking up, I saw that the female cultivator's eyes were mocking and her lips were curled up, clearly she was laughing at me!

Those despicable monks!
"Let me see what you really are!" Lin Yan said coldly, throwing a water balloon at the snarling cat.

The water ball was thrown at the black cat, which dodged it and exploded upon hitting the ground.

The black cat thought it had escaped the attack, but unexpectedly, the dodder vine emerged from the ground and quickly coiled around it.

This is a new fusion move she came up with.

Living beings easily overlook things that are smaller and weaker than themselves.

Dodder vines themselves don't possess strong offensive capabilities and are only suitable for ornamental purposes. They are even weaker in their seed stage, easily overlooked when mixed in with the misty water sphere.

The water ball launches the first wave of attacks, and after the explosion, it also scatters the dodder vine seeds. The excess spiritual energy stimulates the seeds to grow, and the vines can unexpectedly sprout from the soil, catching the enemy off guard.

The cat reacted quickly, leaping swiftly, but there were too many vines, trapping the tiny creature.

Black cats, as a type of demon, occupy the lowest rank in the Demon Realm, kept as pets for amusement. However, they excel at disguise and concealment, and possess relatively little demonic energy, making it easy for them to infiltrate the dwellings of cultivators.

He thought he could fool the female cultivator, but he didn't expect to fall into her trap instead!
It tried to transform into demonic energy to escape, but was caught by a black fox that suddenly appeared and swallowed whole.

"Hey!" Lin Yan was about to stop her when the fox had already swallowed it. "You..."

She also wanted the fox to capture the demonic energy and interrogate Mu Cheng about who was colluding with the demons and how many people had demonic seeds within them.

The fox smacked its lips: "Too few, catch more."

"..." Did I pick one for you?

Back at the residence, he went to the male cultivator's communication talisman. He opened it with a hand seal, and it said that the matter was settled and he would come to explain in detail the next day.

The message talisman was burned immediately after being read, leaving no trace.

She raised an eyebrow, still suspicious: It's done so quickly, he's not planning to play any tricks, is he?

If he doesn't cooperate and even brings people over to try and kill me, then... I won't spare his life either; I'll just kill him.
