What kind of righteous and upright sect was this?
Why were all the places where the leaders of righteous paths lived filled with skeletons?
The stench of blood hadn't even dissipated!
Ning Qianqian only felt like she had been deceived again! None of these immortal cultivators were good people! Everything they said was a lie!
It was over! She was going to be taken away by evil cultivators to practice their techniques!
Chu Xingchen didn't have the mind to pay attention to the girl's pale face next to him at the moment, because he was also a little angry.
When he went out, it was still a green mountain and clear water with fresh air, but when he came home, it was like a demonic cave.
At the entrance of the broken temple, Chu Xingchen put down the silent Ning Qianqian, and shouted loudly:
"What are you two little brats doing?"
Inside the broken temple, Li Yingling was the first to rush out of the broken temple, with an excited look on her face as she hugged her master.
"Master, you're finally back!"
Before Chu Xingchen could question, Li Xingtian, covered in blood, with red eyes, seeming to carry boundless killing intent, carrying a tiger's head in his hand, also stepped out of the broken temple.
His first sentence when he saw Chu Xingchen was also the same, but it seemed to carry a hint of lament:
"Master, you're finally back."
Pushing away Li Yingling in his arms, Chu Xingchen pointed to the animal head landscape on the side, and questioned:
"What's going on?"
Li Yingling swept her eyes over, and naturally understood what the master was angry about, so she was the first to throw the blame on:
"This is all caused by Junior Brother's cultivation!"
Ning Qianqian, who was shivering on the side, still holding a glimmer of hope, died the moment she heard this.
Although she didn't understand the world of immortal cultivation, shouldn't even a famous and upright sect have such bloody cultivation methods?
Ning Qianqian turned her head to look at the head landscape. At this moment, she felt that her own head might be hanging on it next moment.
Chu Xingchen's gaze turned to Li Xingtian, who was carrying the tiger's head, his eyes carrying a stern question.
Faced with the master's questioning gaze, Li Xingtian silently looked at his senior sister, and was hesitant to speak about his senior sister's shirking.
Most of the animals were caught by senior sister, and in theory, senior sister was more responsible for the current situation.
After all, at the beginning, Li Xingtian still intended to find a place a little further away and dig a pit to bury these skeletons.
It did look a bit horrifying, and the smell was terrible.
It was just that senior sister thought it was too troublesome, and it would be more convenient to bury them together when more were accumulated.
But Li Xingtian thought that it was only because senior sister's small house was on the leeward side, and she couldn't smell the fishy stench of blood at night that she said that.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
But this was just a small matter after all, and Li Xingtian agreed. He had also been too engrossed in cultivation these past two days and hadn't noticed that a lot of corpses had accumulated outside.
Seeing this scene when he went out... it was no wonder that the master would be angry.
But the actual situation was also as senior sister said, the source of these situations was indeed caused by his own cultivation.
So Li Xingtian could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
"Sorry, Master, I've been a bit too engrossed in cultivation recently, I'll deal with it first."
Li Yingling glanced at Li Xingtian who went to deal with the skeletons, and then focused her gaze on the thin Ning Qianqian next to her master, only feeling that she was thin and small, her face was still very pale, and her two small hands were constantly shivering.
Why did she look inferior to Junior Brother?
"Master... is this a new disciple you accepted?"
"No, it's the good deed of the Qingfeng Sect." Chu Xingchen sighed, and then raised his hand to signal Ning Qianqian to follow him into the broken temple.
Ning Qianqian dared to go anywhere with the invitation, and could only timidly say: "...I... I'll just stand at the door."
At this moment, Chu Xingchen, where would he not know, that Ning Qianqian's pale face was scared by the bloody scene, he quickly explained:
"Don't worry, we are really a famous and upright sect, not some evil cultivators, it's just that my second disciple's cultivation method needs to consolidate the foundation before building the foundation, and he uses the blood food of wild animals."
Hearing this, Ning Qianqian looked at the head pile again, and indeed there were no human heads, and the tension in her heart slightly relaxed.
She followed Chu Xingchen's footsteps and walked into the broken temple.
The broken temple was neat and tidy, and there was no hellish scene as Ning Qianqian had imagined.
Ordinary clean floors, no piles of heads, no bloody scenes, only two small wooden beds, simple and clean.
Two iron pots, one large and one small.
In the large iron pot, there were some surging scarlet blood.
The small iron pot was clean.
Li Yingling also followed closely behind and walked in.
Since she started cultivating that evil technique, Li Yingling and Li Xingtian had almost hunted all the animals they could hit in the surrounding area.
After all, Shili Slope was not a place where spiritual veins gathered, and there were no different beasts or spiritual beasts, so they could only use the most common animals to cultivate.
The utilization rate was not very high, so they could only stack the quantity.
"Master, how is the situation over there?" Li Yingling poured a cup of water from the kettle on the table and handed it to her master.
Chu Xingchen shook his head slightly: "The situation is okay, but what the Qingfeng Sect did was a bit too much."
"What do you mean?" Li Yingling was a little puzzled.
Chu Xingchen simply explained Ning Qianqian's affairs, and then told about his experiences at the mine.
After Li Yingling listened to the whole story, she nodded calmly.
As a noble daughter of a clan, Li Yingling had heard a lot about this kind of thing where people were eaten without spitting out bones since she was a child.
Even her own family had probably done this kind of thing.
But this didn't mean that Li Yingling agreed with this kind of thing. Most of the time, Li Yingling could only be helpless.
As an illegitimate Li Yingling, her status in her original family was only a little better than a servant.
Otherwise, her father would not have let Li Yingling marry a fool.
She looked at Ning Qianqian, who was silent with her head down, with sympathetic eyes, and then comforted:
"We will do our best to help you, you can rest assured."
Ning Qianqian nodded silently, and at the same time looked at Li Yingling with grateful eyes:
"Thank you, sister."
Chu Xingchen didn't say much, and signaled Li Yingling to appease Ning Qianqian in front of her with his eyes, after all, girls might be more empathetic in this kind of thing.
Walking out of the broken temple, Chu Xingchen saw Li Xingtian handling and transporting the bones of wild animals. Without saying much, Chu Xingchen went up to help.
In fact, these skeletons were not too many, it was just that most of the animals were large in size, and they looked more when they were laid out flat. Chu Xingchen slightly raised his hand and threw a ball of flame, burning all the skeletons to ashes.
Then he waved his hand and blew all the ashes away to the distance.
After finishing the processing, Chu Xingchen didn't say much, but took out the simple topographic map of the mine he had drawn and handed it to Li Xingtian.
"If you plan to rescue people at the mine, is it difficult?"
Li Xingtian swept his eyes over the topographic map and replied: "If Master is in the Transformation God stage, it's not difficult at all."
Chu Xingchen was silent.
Li Xingtian coughed lightly: "...If it's in the Nascent Soul stage, it is possible to fight quickly."
"The teacher can only use the strength of a flawless golden elixir level now."
Re-rolling the topographic map in his hand, Li Xingtian didn't ask much, and without any hesitation, he said seriously: "As long as the plan is detailed and well-planned, it shouldn't be particularly difficult."
