Foxy Beauty Charms the World

"Daoist Sect?" Hu Ying was stunned. "Are you saying that these pearls were made by Taoists?" Once again, she focused her gaze on the black bead. She resisted the urge to touch it and asked, "Is this related to the incident with the fake ink?"

"Right now, it doesn't seem to matter. Last time was the Outer Barbarian Evil Technique. This time …" Although it is also an evil technique, the methods are different. " Xiao Luo hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still voiced out his guess. It could suppress Demonic Ghosts' aura and increase the user's ability for a short period of time. In the past, there was a bitter dispute between sects. At that time, someone forced their own devils to devour the Soul Confining Orb, concealing the demonic Qi, and then caught them off guard and attacked them. "

He tightly gripped the Absolute Soul Pearl. His expression was dark and uncertain while the bottom of his eyes surged.

How could Hu Ying not see that Xiao Luo's mood was unstable? She did not question him for a while. She looked around, then lowered her head to look at the corpse of the Thousand-Tentacle Worm at her feet, which was starting to stink. She gathered her thoughts and said, "Let's not talk about the fake ink for now, if this bead really has something to do with the Daoist, then it will explain two things: One, there is something wrong with your sect head. Second, someone manipulated the Demonic Ghost to achieve a certain goal. "

Xiao Luo did not respond. He looked outside the door and tightened his grip, causing a slight cracking sound. When he opened his fingers again, the Soul-Sealing Pearl had already turned into dust.

"I'll find out." Xiao Luo's voice sank. Other than that, there was no other indication. Hu Ying knew that he was definitely not in a good mood. Regardless of what happened, this pearl alone was enough to prove that someone from the sect was involved. No matter what, the Sovereign must take responsibility for his actions.

Since it was related to the sect's mystical arts, Hu Ying, as a would-be fox fairy, couldn't say much about it. That was a matter for other people's family. After a quick search, the stench and the dust from the insect corpses were unbearable to Hu Ying. She rushed out while covering her nose. Behind her was the obviously unsightly Master Xiao Luo.

What was different from the memories of ordinary people was that even though Xiao Luo always had a warm smile on his face when faced with believers, he was still the sect master and not someone who had a huge stomach like Buddha. When disciples violate the rules, disciples make mistakes, and there would always be a time like this when … Xiao Luo's expression became indifferent, and he glanced over without even needing to get angry, and Disciple Xuan Xin could feel the pressure that was assaulting her face.

Even though Hu Ying wasn't a mysterious disciple, she had a deep understanding of the current situation. On the way back, it could be said that Xiao Luo was expressionless, his eyes calm and unmoving.

It turned out that when a person who was always laughing did not laugh, it was indeed very stressful. Hu Ying muttered in her heart.

"Miss Little Hu, let's say our goodbyes."

Xiao Luo's indifferent farewell sounded in his ears. When Hu Ying came back to her senses, she saw that the two of them had unknowingly reached a fork in the road. The direction of Xuan Xin's orthodoxy was on the left, while her wine shop was on the right.

"Alright, if Sect Master has anything, you can call me. Everyone is a friend, there's no need to be courteous." Hu Ying reckoned that Xiao Luo probably wouldn't allow outsiders to interfere in this matter, but no matter what, after knowing Xiao Luo for so long, she still regarded him as a friend.

Hearing this, Xiao Luo's cold and silent expression relaxed a little. He opened his lips and smiled, bowing with both hands. "Thank you, Miss Hu." With that, he turned around and left, leaving quite straightforwardly.

Hu Ying knew that he was in a bad mood, so she did not tease him any further. She guessed that Jin Xiao and Ying Zhu should be more than enough alone by now. If she did not return to the restaurant now, she would lose a lot of business.

Thinking of this, the fox girl from Qing Qiu immediately threw all the other thoughts to the back of her mind.

Compared to Hu Ying's relaxed state, Xiao Luo was unable to calm down no matter what. This was extremely ironic. As a sect, they should have completely forgotten about love, and should not have been distracted by it. This love was all-encompassing. Regardless of whether it was a child's private feelings or worldly desires, they should be open to it. But Xiao Luo knew that he had not done it all.

There were some things that he didn't want to say or recall, but that didn't mean that it hadn't happened.

Returning to the orthodox Xuanxin Sect, Xiao Luo went straight to the sacrificial hall. He knelt down before the altar where the ancestral tablets were placed and clasped his hands respectfully and humbly. After reading the message silently, he began to mutter as if he was swearing an oath, "Your highness, Supreme Yi, Sky Sovereign, disciple will definitely not fail to live up to the teachings of the sect! this disciple will definitely not do it! "

The sound of faint footsteps came from behind him, and he immediately stopped at the door.

The yellow curtain in the hall was blown by the wind, rising and falling as if it was breathing.

Xiao Luofu kowtowed, then slowly stood up. He turned around and saw the Left Protector Yu Feng standing at the entrance. His head was solemn and his entire being was as still as water.

"Any gains?" Xiao Luo asked.

Yu Mu shook his head, and frowned, "Lin Ming's longevity shop was ruined five years ago, and after closing up, the Lin Clan's people went back to their hometowns and disappeared. There had been rumors of ghosts long ago, but they were all false and untrue. A few days ago, there were beggars who died in this strange place, which caused a commotion. "

"Why doesn't the sect know?"

"If not for the deaths, I'm afraid I would not have been able to attract any attention. Even so, the pavilion seemed to have made up its mind, saying that it was caused by a fight between beggars over their territory. Right now, the Prefecture Overseer Lord Li in charge of this matter is also extremely anxious, and does not know how to conclude this case. "

After saying this, Xiao Luo lowered his eyes in thought. He raised his head to look at his protector and then asked, "Do you know how that beggar died?"

"He died in an extremely miserable way. It was said that his body was riddled with many holes, and his internal organs were all eaten, leaving behind only a tattered set of skin." The information that the rain screen will get is truthfully reported. Finally, he paused for a moment and hesitantly spoke out his suspicions, "Sect Master, this subordinate feels that this is not something an ordinary person would do."

Xiao Luo nodded and recounted everything that had happened at the longevity shop as well as the Soul-Sealing Pearl. Rain Curtain Man was not stupid. After hearing that, he immediately understood. "Could it be that someone in the sect had evil intentions? Or colluded with monsters? Then this longevity shop is just a place to throw the corpses? But why kill a few beggars? "

"If you use the Absolute Soul Pearl, it won't be that simple. "Although that longevity shop is old and worn out, someone has obviously arranged it meticulously. If it's just throwing away the corpse, there's no need at all."

Yu Mu was in favor of this decision. With a serious expression, he continued, "I wonder who was the one that would do such a disgraceful thing to the sect, going against the laws of heaven!" After he finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed the hilt of his sword and half knelt on the ground. He said in a deep voice, "As the Left Protector, this subordinate failed to notice in time. I have missed my duty. Please punish me!"

Xiao Luo lowered his eyes, his mind in a trance. His gaze shifted and swept across the dazzling sunlight pouring down from the outside of the hall. Amidst the dazzling white light, the cinnabar wall vaguely formed a gloomy background, reflecting the deep blue sky. Occasionally, the grey shadow of a bird would flutter by, and its cry would gradually fade.

"Master?"

The hesitant cries of the rain brought back Xiao Luo's absent-minded thoughts. The latter returned her gaze, a light flickering in her eyes as she weighed the protector in front of her who seemed to be the one she had watched grow up. Xiao Luo had never doubted Yulan's loyalty and ability. That was all, but not enough to take on the entire sect's responsibilities. That was why he had the heart.

Yu Mu felt the grand master's gaze on him and could not help but peek at his clothes. Although he wanted to touch his face, he held himself back in front of the grand master.

Xiao Luo let out a long sigh, but his smile did not reach his eyes. "Perhaps it was my persistence and sin that caused all this. It was I who made the Pure Sect feel resentment …"

"Follow me."

Leaving behind these fleeting words, Xiao Luo had already crossed the threshold.

He did not know why, but even someone as slow as the rain could feel that the grand master was different from usual. He raised his eyes and looked at the tall and straight back in front of him. The side of his face that was as warm as jade reflected the verdant corridor beside him. It looked like a painting that had been carved in ink.

He had seen this kind of scene countless times. Since young, he had always been standing behind the sect master, following and listening to every order. All he wanted to do was repay this kindness. This feeling of kinship made him have no time to think about anything else. It had been slowly flowing in his heart for many years. Only hatred and stupidity could not dissolve the heavy responsibility that the Sect Master had shouldered.

He knew that no matter when the sect head appeared in front of others, he would always have the demeanor of an immortal, warm and gentle. Sometimes, Yurou felt that he was really stupid. He knew that the grand master's heart was tied up, but he really did not know how to resolve this matter for the grand master.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, walked through the corridor and alleyways of the main entrance. Finally, they stopped at the entrance to the basement at the deepest part of the Mysterious Heart Altar. The stone door needed a special mechanism to open, and the method was known only to the grand master.

The rain curtain was very strange, I don't know why the grand master brought me here. But the habit kept him silent. As he walked down the high steps, the temperature around him became colder. When he reached the lowest level, he could see the rain and frost on his breath.

The basement was very spacious. The walls were decorated with shining pearls. The lighting was hazy and dim, not completely pitch-black. There was a pool carved with white jade on the left side and a crystal coffin on the right side of the platform. He could not see the scene from this distance. Although he was surprised, the rain still remained silent.

Xiao Luo stood in the middle, his head slightly lowered, deep in thought. The rain stood silently behind him, waiting.

After a long while, when Yu Mu thought that the grand master was standing like this as if he was a statue, he started walking. He first walked to the side of the white jade pool, took a glance at it, and then looked away. Yu Mu hesitated for a moment before following. As soon as he approached, he saw that the grand master's brows were furrowed with sadness and anguish. He closed his eyes and tried to turn his head away.

The rain shifted his gaze away from the grand master, falling into the White Jade Pool. When he saw it, he couldn't help but take a step back. With a face full of shock, he turned his head to look at Xiao Luo. "Sect Master, this is …?"

There were many corpses piled up in the white jade pool. The men, women, and children were all terrified. The dried blood had already congealed into a thick scab. With a slight touch, it began to peel off.

Before Yu Mu could clear her thoughts, she felt a soft rustling sound from beside her. When she turned her head, she saw Xiao Luo half-kneeling, as if he couldn't hold on any longer. His usually straight back trembled slightly. Yu Mu was shocked. She quickly bent over and knelt beside Xiao Luo. Just as she wanted to support him, he waved her away.

"Master, what's wrong?" A hint of panic flashed past Yu Mu's eyes. He had never seen the sect head act so humble before. Xiao Luo's forehead was almost touching the ground, like a wounded lonely goose crawling on the ground.

"Forgive me …"

His shaky voice made Yu Mu even more shocked, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

"I am guilty. These people all died because of me. They are unable to surpass their limits, and they will never reincarnate again."

The left Protector Xuan Xin's heart trembled. He got up and probed into the pond, and his right hand took out a yellow talisman. He placed it above the heads of the group of corpses, and with a hissing sound, it immediately burned, turning into ashes.

"Before they died, their grievances were deep and their souls were bound by me, causing them to dissipate completely." Xiao Luo was still kneeling on the ground, his dazed eyes staring at the ground through the gaps in his hair.

"Just what is this …"

"I killed them. To refine the Revolving Pill, one must have the heart as the primer. " Xiao Luo slowly straightened himself. All expression returned to serenity. This serenity was as if what he had said was not human life, but an insignificant speck of dust.

The curtain of rain inexplicably trembled, and a trace of fear rose from the depths of his heart.
