Film and Television: A Man in White Horse, Begins by Becoming an Apprentice of Yu Sheng Demon

"Why is Second Brother stirring things up? The missing persons case has already unsettled the people; arguing with each other will not help."

"This matter concerns the safety of Tianqi City. I am willing to assist in the investigation, but I hope that the Second Prince will also fully cooperate so as not to prevent the truth from being hidden."

At this moment, Grand Tutor Zhang Ze stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty, cases of missing children involve not only officials, but also our people."

"Could we consider establishing a new investigative body to handle this matter and avoid delays in the investigation due to power struggles?"

Emperor Mingde nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the assembled officials, and said in a deep voice.

"The Grand Tutor's words are quite right. In order to find the missing child quickly and prevent the situation from deteriorating further, I have decided to dispatch an investigation team composed of the Seventh Prince, the Second Prince, the Sixth Prince, and some officials to do everything in their power to solve this child's disappearance case."

"The three of you must immediately intervene in the investigation and find out the truth within ten days."

After the court session.

The White King invited Xiao Se to his residence to discuss the investigation into the missing children.

"Sixth brother, what do you think of this matter?"

The White King asked with concern.

"What can we do? We've uncovered absolutely no clues in this child's disappearance case. What can we possibly find out?"

Xiao Se said noncommittally.

"But Father only gave us ten days."

The White King said with a frown.

"If you insist on being so stubborn and vying for favor at this time, then go ahead and investigate since Father has issued an edict. I have no interest in it anyway."

Xiao Se stretched and said.

"Sixth brother."

No matter how much the White King called out from behind, it was to no avail.

Meanwhile, Xiao Se had already gone to the headquarters of Bai Xiaotang in Tianqi City.

"Master."

Xiao Se bowed respectfully to Ji Ruofeng.

"You've come here because of the case of missing children in Tianqi City, haven't you?"

Ji Ruofeng asked with a smile.

"Nothing can be hidden from Master. So how many clues does Bai Xiaotang have regarding the recent cases of missing children?"

Xiao Se asked earnestly.

“Not many, but I can confirm that these children are dead.”

Ji Ruofeng said with a serious expression.

"died?"

Xiao Se frowned deeply. He knew that in the past few days, at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, children had gone missing throughout the city. With so many children dead, the entire city of Tianqi would likely be enraged.

"They died because a child's body was found, and the cause of death was that all the child's essence and blood were consumed."

"It should be the long-lost martial arts technique - the Demon Devouring Heart Method".

Ji Ruofeng's words silenced Xiao Se, who was naturally familiar with this technique.

Every day, cultivation requires the assistance of an infant, relying on absorbing the essence and blood of the infant to replenish internal energy.

Because this technique was too evil, a hundred years ago, righteous people joined forces to completely eradicate its lineage. However, unexpectedly, a hundred years later, it has reappeared.

Where were the children's bodies found?

Xiao Se asked in confusion.

"They were all found in the back mountains of Tianqi City."

"But the person who practices this demonic art seems to be elusive. I have not found any trace of it in the back mountain."

Ji Ruofeng said with her eyes slightly closed.

"Back Mountain."

Xiao Se muttered to himself.

"Thank you for informing me, Master. I'll head back now. Please let me know as soon as you have any news."

Night fell. Xiao Se decided to go to the address Ji Ruofeng had given him to find out what was going on.

The loss of so many children in the city is no small matter.

As for what his master had said, everyone had sent someone to keep watch at the back of the mountain. Xiao Se knew that there was another path leading to the back of the mountain.

So Xiao Se decided to use this path to go to the back mountain to find out what was going on.

The back mountain was quiet, with only the occasional birdsong breaking the silence.

Xiao Se would sometimes stop and listen carefully to the sounds around him, and sometimes look down at the terrain under his feet, looking for any unusual traces.

He crossed a winding stream and nimbly leaped over several large rocks.

As the mountain slopes gradually become steeper, his breathing becomes rapid. The soil beneath his feet becomes soft, and Xiao Se must carefully step on the solid rocks with each step to avoid making a sound.

The mountain wind carried a chilly air, and his bleak robes fluttered in the wind, like a dark net enveloping him.

Finally, Xiao Se discovered a hidden cave deep in the mountainside, the entrance of which was covered by dense bushes.

I discovered this cave when I was a child, while playing in the back mountain.

He slowly approached the entrance of the cave, reached out and pushed aside a few bushes that were obscuring the view, trying to explore the situation inside.

The cave entrance was dark and deep, and Xiao Se's heart began to race. After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he cautiously stepped into the cave, his long sword tightly gripping his hand, just in case.

The air inside the cave was stuffy and damp, and the desolate sound of footsteps echoed in the narrow space. He continued along the cave passage, when suddenly, a strong aura rushed towards him from the depths of the cave.

The aura was like an invisible force, suffocating him. Xiao Se's heart tightened; he knew he was approaching the depths of the cave.

When he finally reached the deepest part of the cave, his eyes widened instantly, and he pointed in front of him with his right hand, saying in disbelief, "How could it be you?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the person in front of him opened his eyes, exuding a decaying demonic aura.

Looking at the distance not far ahead, a shocked Xiao Se said jokingly, "I didn't expect you to find this place, so don't blame me."

Then he flashed in front of Xiao Se and struck him on the top of the head with a palm.

Xiao Se felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

The next second, the mysterious man crushed the child's skull in his left hand and vanished again.

Meanwhile, in the attic of the Southern Finals' Yu Shengmo.

Wuxin opened his eyes.

Since Wuxin was brought to this Rain-Born Demon to study by Yutian.

Two whole months have passed.

Wuxin also transitioned from the Free and Easy Realm to the Carefree Heaven Realm.

As originally agreed, Wuxin, after reaching the realm of carefree immortality, must return to the Outer Heavens to oversee all affairs there.

"Master."

Wuxin kowtowed to Yusheng Demon and said.

"Get up quickly, my little Shi'an. Now that we've arrived at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, let's head to the Outer Heavens and do what you need to do."

"It's raining demons," Yu Shengmo said calmly.

Wuxin nodded. He stood up and bowed to Yusheng Demon again. Then he transformed into a wisp of light and disappeared.

As Wuxin left, Yushengmo walked out of the pavilion, looking in the direction Wuxin had gone, his eyes filled with worry.

Meanwhile, in the rainy city of Qingzhou, one gazes at the vast ocean at the seaside.

"I don't have any major problems. I wonder if the three of you could fly with me to Penglai Island?"

"Huh? Just fly there? What if I get tired?"

The crowd chattered excitedly.

Finally, with rain as his only recourse, and knowing that flying there was probably impossible, he borrowed a boat from an old man nearby and then greeted the two women.

"Haha, I knew it! As long as we keep arguing, Yutian will definitely feel sorry for us and rent us a boat to go to Penglai."

Yueyao said with a smile.

"Does anyone know where Penglai is?"

Yi Wenjun asked.

"I don't know, I've never been there."

Feng Qiuyu shook his head and said.

Immediately, everyone's attention turned to Yu Tian.

It's no use looking at me; I don't know either.
