Chapter 157 The Demonic Cultivator Reappears

Such miscellaneous matters within Qinghefang are usually directly adjudicated by the two foundation-building monks guarding it. Judging from Lu Yuanfeng's tone, it was obvious that he did not want to pursue the Gao family's affairs. Song Qingming did not object when he saw this.

In the past, he had personally adjudicated several similar minor disputes in the Law Enforcement Hall. Afterwards, Lu Yuanfeng found out that he had never objected to his handling of the results. This time the matter involved the Gao family. It is estimated that Gao Jinhe had already gotten angry with him over the matter. The purpose of teaching Jinbaotang a lesson has been achieved, and there is no need to offend the Gao family too much for this matter. Song Qingming nodded without much hesitation and agreed with Lu Yuanfeng's opinion.

"At that time, I was a little angry that these people did such dirty things in broad daylight and did not take our city's reputation into consideration at all. In order to save some face of our Qinghe City, I punished them. Now I think I think this matter is indeed a bit excessive, so let’s handle it according to Fellow Daoist Lu’s opinion.”

Seeing that Song Qingming had agreed to the matter without saying anything, Lu Yuanfeng nodded with satisfaction and hurriedly called a disciple waiting outside the door to bring him a pot of spiritual tea.

In the past few years in Qinghefang, Song Qingming would occasionally come to discuss Taoism with Lu Yuanfeng at his invitation. Both of them were foundation-building monks, and it would be very beneficial for both parties to exchange their cultivation experiences from time to time.

Just as the two were lost in conversation, Lu Yuanfeng's disciple waiting outside the door suddenly burst in.

"Master, there is someone named Song Qingshi outside the door. He is said to be a member of Senior Song's clan and he has something important to report."

As soon as he heard Song Qingshi's name, Song Qingming quickly nodded to the visitor and said, "He is indeed a member of my Song family. Please wait for a moment, Fellow Daoist Lu, and I'll go out and take a look first."

In a large courtyard outside Lu Yuanfeng's cave, Song Qingshi, who looked tired, was waiting anxiously. When he saw Song Qingming coming out, he quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Elder Taishang, something strange happened at home. I don't know how to deal with it. The patriarch asks you to go back quickly." After Song Qingshi finished speaking, he handed a letter written by Song Changfeng directly to Song Qingming.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingming was also a little strange. He didn't know what happened on Funiu Mountain that was so urgent.

After opening the letter, Song Qingming gradually frowned, and his face was no longer as relaxed as before.

"Brother, please wait for me here. I will go in and inform fellow Daoist Lu, and then I will go back with you."

Half a day later, in the Song family's meeting hall in Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming was sitting at the top, with several late-stage Qi-refining monks from the Song family sitting below.

"Uncle Six, have you confirmed the situation? Are you sure that the person who appeared in the Wu family is a demon cultivator?"

Song Changfeng replied with a serious look on his face: "News has just come from the Wu family, and several suspicious people have been discovered. These people all have a strange black aura on their bodies. They have obviously been tampered with by the monks. Yes, if you are so blatant in using magic to control ordinary mortals, it must be a demon cultivator. This can be basically confirmed.”

"If there is really a demonic cultivator causing trouble nearby, everyone should be more careful. The demonic cultivator has many methods and is extremely clever and cunning. It is not an easy task to completely eradicate it. Let's wait for the other families to arrive, and then we can act together. , it is best to strike with thunderous force before they can react, and you must not give them a chance to escape, otherwise there will be endless troubles. "

It turns out that the reason why Song Changfeng was so anxious to invite Song Qingming back was because the Song family suddenly received a letter asking for help from the Wu family in Longtan Mountain half a month ago, and traces of demon cultivators were discovered in the Wu family's territory.

The Wu family was originally a subsidiary family of the Huang family like the Song family, and Longtan Mountain was not far from Funiu Mountain, less than eighty miles away.

Since the Song family was officially promoted to the foundation-building family four years ago, the area in the northwest of Qinghe County has been placed under the rule of the Song family. The nearby Qi Lian family, which was originally a vassal of the Huang family, has also been placed under the Song family and must be handed over every year. Some offerings were made in exchange for the Song family's protection.

There are not many monks in the Wu family, only about twenty people. The situation in Longtan Mountain and Funiu Mountain in their ancestral lands is similar, with tens of thousands of mortals.

More than half a month ago, in a relatively remote mortal village within the Wu family, several acquired mortal martial artists suddenly disappeared. The Wu family monks stationed there have never found out the reason for this. A few days ago, Wu, an elder of the Wu family, Meng Yuan felt a little confused about this matter, so he went to investigate in person without alerting the monks stationed there. As a result, he made an astonishing discovery. In this relatively remote mortal village, there were actually several people who had been murdered. Mortals parasitized by demonic cultivators.

This can frighten the people of the Wu family. Although a mortal parasitized by a demonic cultivator looks no different from an ordinary person on the surface, his life and death have already been controlled by the demonic cultivator behind him. Basically, he is considered a victim. The puppets controlled by the demonic cultivators were found here, and mortals parasitized by the demonic cultivators were found here. This also shows that there must be a demonic cultivator hiding here nearby.

Demonic cultivators are extremely ruthless in their actions, and they often commit horrific acts such as blood sacrifices to a large number of monks and mortals. More than a hundred years ago, there was a Qi Refining Family in Qinghe County that was accidentally infiltrated by a group of demonic cultivators. Slow Control parasitized many monks and mortals within them. In the end, the entire clan of monks and mortals were sacrificed for their skills by these ferocious demonic cultivators overnight. When several major foundation-building families in Qinghe County arrived after the incident, this group The demon cultivator had already escaped.

After learning that demonic cultivators might have appeared in his territory, the head of the Wu family didn't know how many demonic cultivators he had hidden here. He was afraid that some of his monks had been parasitically controlled by demonic cultivators, so he didn't dare to tell anyone about it and hid it from the family. Most of the monks sent their trusted people down the mountain overnight to ask for help from the Song family. After Song Changfeng received the Wu family's request for help, he also did not dare to go out without authorization. Only then did Song Qingshi urgently invite back Song Qingming, the foundation-building monk. Pressure the battle.

Generally speaking, those who would parasitize mortals in a small Qi-refining family like the Wu family are unlikely to be demon cultivators above the foundation level. However, there are no absolute rules for demon cultivators. They are so cunning and cunning, what they will do, That's not a strange thing. If there is a foundation-building demon cultivator from the Wu family, and they rush to kill it, it will definitely scare the snake and put the sheep in the tiger's mouth.

After discussing the action plan, Song Qingming asked Song Changfeng to quickly send recruitment orders to several affiliated Qi refining families under the Song family. One day later, when everyone gathered at Funiu Mountain, the Song family had already gathered forty or fifty monks. Song Qingming then ordered everyone to take advantage of the night to seal off the entire Longtan Mountain.
