ch 421 - Pulling A Stunt On Uncle; A Strange Man In Black (4)
Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but sighed, mankind would truly do just about anything for their own gain.
“Ever since this unaffiliated cultivated had come up with this method, we have heard of more and more cases of mystical beasts being sucked dry. We have also heard of cultivators being sucked dry, especially those who were exceptionally talented. They would be sought out and sucked dry!”
Old Man Ying shared more of what he had heard.
Cheng Xiao Xiao felt that she was starting to get gooseb.u.mps. How was that different from cannibalism? No wonder they were the most sinister of all criminals.
Knowing that element like that had been appearing within her perimeter made her uncomfortable. A stroke of killer intent flashed through her eyes and she said, “We can’t allow someone like that to be around. They must be killed once we found them!”
“I agree. Someone like that would never do any good to keep around. We just never expected this to happen again!” The old nun looked at the tiger skin in front of her and said softly.
Everybody nodded. Worried, Cheng Biyuan said, “It seemed this person was just hiding nearby; that’d pose a threat to us!”
“That was odd. It was been such a short time since the incident had taken place. How was it that we weren’t able to locate him? That doesn’t make any sense!” Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t happy about that either.
Whatever the reason was, this person was bold enough to injury her people and ate her mystical beast on her turf. She couldn’t possibly let them go.
“We don’t have that many mystical and sacred beasts on this continent. Now that words have gotten out that there are an abundance of mystical beasts at Sacred Land Zhongyuan, naturally it would attract all the cultivators that adopt this technique!” a.n.a.lyzed Valley Master Ji.
“You mean we will have to deal with the threats from these individuals all the time then?” frowned Zhou Jinjiang.
Cheng Xiao Xiao squinted and asked, “We really weren’t able to locate them?”
“………” n.o.body said anything, as they did not know what they could say.
After a long while!
Finally, Mo Xuanzun, sitting next to her, said, “Xiao Xiao, this kind of depraved cultivators had their own twisted methods. It wouldn’t be easy to locate them if they don’t want to be found. But, don’t worry, as soon as we found any traces of evidence, I will be able to calculate his whereabouts.”
“Hmm…”
Cheng Xiao Xiao gave him a look then started communicating with little Yuteng and asked, “Little Yuteng, you can’t locate the person either?”
“Young Mistress, don’t worry. I have my ways. I will go take a look right away!”
“Okay, be careful. Don’t turn into someone else’s snack!” Cheng Xiao Xiao was a bit worried not know what kind of an opponent she was dealing with.
“Are you kidding me, Young Mistress? I will be fine. Unless they had already left our area; otherwise, I will be able to locate them!”
Even with little Yuteng’s guarantee, Cheng Xiao Xiao was still a bit worried, “How do you plan on doing it? Maybe we should think it through first before you go. If you were eaten like a snack, I’d have no idea where to go find you.”
“Ugh, Young Mistress, stop saying that. I’m not some kind of nuts, how can anyone eat me?”
“Haven’t you heard? This kind of depraved cultivator will eat mystical beasts or humans, let alone you. If you got caught, you will be eaten!”
“Oh….”
Now that little Yuteng realized Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t kidding, she was more careful.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to Cheng Xiao Xiao, “Hey, little Yuteng, doesn’t King Bee has a lot of tiny bees? I have an idea!”
Suddenly, she pulled on the man next to her and said, “Abacus, let’s go!”
“Xiao Xiao, where are we going?”
Mo Xuanzun stood up and, the two didn’t exchange another word, and left in a flash.
“Miss, did you figure something out?” Old Man Ying seemed to have noticed something as well and also disappeared in front of everybody in a falsh.
Everybody remained looked at each other and thought: what had just happened?
