When the shopkeeper saw the two men come out from hiding and heard their greetings, he was startled. He looked at Feng Jiu with astonishment. “Mis, Mistress?” Their mistress was no other than Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu! So, the woman in the red dress in front of him was actually Ghost Doctor, their mistress?


“Stand up!” Feng Jiu sat at the table inside the courtyard and motioned the two men kneeling on the ground to stand up.


“Mis, Mistress!” The shopkeeper knelt down in a hurry and spoke in fright. “Subordinate doesn’t know that Mistress is coming. Please forgive my discourtesy.”


“It’s all right.” She waved her hand. “I just happened to pa.s.s by. I’m going to rest for a day here. While I’m at it, I’d like you to send a message to Heavenly Pill Tower in Hundred Rivers City.”


The three subordinates looked at each other. One of them, a Feng Guard, replied, “Please give us your instruction, Mistress.”


The shopkeeper quickly went to a room inside the courtyard, took out pen, ink and paper and put it on the table. “Please use it, Mistress.”


After taking a glance at the shopkeeper, Feng Jiu took the pen and started writing, sealed the letter with a watermark, and then handed it to one of the Feng Guard. “Just send this letter out.”


“Yes.” The Feng Guard answered. After giving her a salute, he took the letter and left.


The shopkeeper, meanwhile, served tea, then stood quietly aside.


“This teahouse is across Fragrant Pavilion. It seems the business is going well.” While drinking tea, Feng Jiu inquired in an unhurried tone.


“To answer Mistress’ question, the teahouse’s business is good. Many people come here to drink tea and have a lot of topics to discuss in their leisure time.” The shopkeeper replied.


Feng Jiu took the lid of the teacup in one hand and blew on the tea. “Are there news about the Shadow Night Palace recently?”


“I only heard that the Shadow Night Palace was reorganized these days and seldom made any movements. What’s more, from hearsay, the Shadow Night Palace’s master has been cultivating in seclusion. It seems that he hasn’t recovered from his recent injury yet.”


Feng Jiu’s hand stopped. His injury hasn’t healed yet? At that time, even though her attack was not light, considering the Shadow Night Palace’s master cultivation strength, he shouldn’t still have been wounded up to now. Did they spread this rumour deliberately?


“I heard there have been a lot of deaths in this town these last few days? Do you know who did it?” She asked again.


“Mistress, these seemed to be the deeds of devilry cultivators. Subordinate has seen those victims. All of them have one characteristic, that is the deceased were all female cultivators and their blood and vitality were sucked dry. Their remains looked like dried corpses.” The Feng Guard next to him said respectfully.


“Devilry cultivators again?” She frowned, recalling that one-eyed mad devilry cultivator.


“Yes, only, this devilry cultivator’s strength should be very high. The City Lord sent a lot of cultivators for an ambush. Although they’ve encountered this person once, they failed to catch him, even some cultivators were killed. Now, this matter became a th.o.r.n.y issue and almost no one dared to take charge of it.”


The devilry cultivator was too powerful. The City Lord and the city clans guarded their own doors, paying little attention to what was going on outside. Moreover, most of the dead were itinerant female cultivators or loose cultivators. So, after failing to catch the devilry cultivator, they were more concerned about their family members.


“Did it appear every night?” She asked with raised eyebrows.


“It’s been happening five nights in a row. Every night, two to three female cultivators were dead.”


Hearing this, Feng Jiu put the teacup down and stood up. “Mm, I see. Please prepare two rooms for me.. I’ll be back tonight.”
