"According to our observations from the outside, our county has truly been restless lately. I have a vague premonition that sothing big is going to happen." Chen Tianmin’s expression was worried, his tone even heavier.
"Second Uncle, things have indeed been unstable recently, but Liuhua Village is definitely safe. As long as you’re not exposed, there won’t be any problems." Chen Yang said.
"I know that, but my worry isn’t about being discovered by Blood Bat Hall." Chen Tianmin looked at Chen Yang anxiously.
"Not because of Blood Bat Hall? Then, Second Uncle, what are you worried about?" Chen Yang looked at Chen Tianmin curiously.
He couldn’t think of anything other than Blood Bat Hall that would worry his Second Uncle this much.
"I can’t say for sure, just that I’ve got a vague feeling that sothing big is about to happen." Chen Tianmin replied.
"I have the sa feeling. The cultivation world used to be particularly peaceful, almost like water in a well not troubling the river, but lately, all the major forces seem to be stirring. There must be so reason for this." Old Qiu added from the side.
Upon hearing Old Qiu’s words, Chen Yang fell silent.
Because he didn’t have much knowledge about the cultivation world, and the ti was quite short, he wasn’t very clear about the feelings of Old Qiu and his Second Uncle.
"Yang Zi, we rarely wander outside the Green Cloud Taoist Temple and there shouldn’t be any problems, but you must be careful."
"There are all kinds of forces outside now, don’t take risks like you did last ti."
Chen Tianmin gave Chen Yang a worried glance, hoping nothing would happen to him.
"Alright, I understand, Second Uncle. I’ll be careful." Chen Yang nodded, and after conversing with Chen Tianmin and Old Qiu for a while, he left first.
With nothing much happening in the afternoon, Chen Yang prepared to continue cultivating.
After all, with the feng shui boost in Liuhua Village, the air was already rich with spiritual power.
As long as he wanted to cultivate, he could start anyti, with no waste of ti.
But just as he was about to start, the phone in his pocket rang—it was Lisa calling.
Sothing happened again.
In a village about twenty kiloters from Liuhua Village, a murder had taken place.
The thod of committing the cri seed nothing like what ordinary people would do! It looked like the work of a cultivator.
Normally, such matters would have been handled by their secret bureau alone, but Ma Jiantao had already returned to the provincial capital to report on the investigation because of the disaster.
So now, the secret bureau mbers left here didn’t have very advanced cultivation.
To ensure nothing went wrong, Lisa specifically called Chen Yang, hoping he could co over and help.
Upon hearing there was another incident, Chen Yang’s heart sank, feeling that it might have a great deal to do with him.
"Alright, I’m on my way." Chen Yang did not refuse.
"Okay, we’ll wait for you." Lisa nodded once before hanging up the call.
"Sothing happened again, it seems Second Uncle and Old Qiu’s premonition was correct, everything is so restless." Chen Yang clenched his brows, feeling even more burdened inside.
But he didn’t think too much, after hanging up the call, he imdiately drove off in his van.
The location of the incident was a very remote mountain village, making the journey rough, and even though the distance was a re twenty kiloters, it took Chen Yang half an hour to arrive.
Upon reaching the village, he found that it had already been completely sealed off by the secret bureau.
There wasn’t even a single ordinary police officer present.
This scene took Chen Yang by surprise.
Because when the disaster occurred previously, such a scene hadn’t appeared. The main personnel handling that had been the police.
For such a small village to have this kind of scenario, could it be that the situation was even more complex than the disaster?
"Chen Yang?"
As soon as Chen Yang got out of the car, one of the secret bureau mbers guarding the village entrance recognized him.
Chen Yang had helped the secret bureau a lot, so by now, he was almost a little celebrity, and nearly all the mbers knew him.
"Yes, it’s ." Chen Yang nodded.
"You’re here, great! Lisa and the others have been waiting inside for quite a while, go inside and take a look." The person smiled as they opened the cordon.
Chen Yang responded with a nod, then stepped inside.
As soon as he stepped into the village boundary, a strong stench of blood reached his nose.
It was very intense!
The further inside he went, the more the stench reached an almost pungent level!
"Chen Yang!" At this point, Lisa erged from a house, eting Chen Yang who was heading toward the village center.
"Lisa, what exactly is going on? Why is there such a strong sll of blood?" Chen Yang didn’t waste ti, imdiately questioning Lisa about the specifics as soon as he saw her.
Lisa was wearing a mask, covering most of her face.
Yet he could still see the heavy expression in her eyes.
Xiao Hu, following behind her, also had furrowed brows, looking alarmingly grave.
"The matter is extrely serious, many people have died." Lisa began.
"Many people have died?" Chen Yang was slightly surprised.
"Yes, the entire village has been targeted for a massacre, the situation is extrely appalling." Xiao Hu said in a heavy tone.
"This isn’t the place to talk, Chen Yang, let’s go out, and I’ll explain the situation here to you."
The sll of blood was too intense here, even with a mask, Lisa was sowhat uncomfortable, so she suggested going outside to discuss the matter with Chen Yang.
"Alright." Chen Yang agreed, and the group left the village to head outside.
Outside the village, the bloody sll dissipated considerably, making it easier to bear.
"Chen Yang, you live in the area, do you know anything about this village?" Once outside, Lisa took off her mask and sought to understand the situation from Chen Yang.
Chen Yang shook his head and replied, "I may be living nearby, but this village is still quite a ways from Liuhua Village, so I don’t know it well."
"Then the situation becos complex, based on the site clues, aside from determining it was done by a cultivator, we have no leads whatsoever." Lisa’s face was solemn, finding the case troubleso.
"No leads at all? No idea who the perpetrator is?" Chen Yang was taken aback—it shouldn’t have been this unclear.
Modern forensic thods are so advanced, even the smallest traces can be detected. How could there be no findings?
Especially since it was the secret bureau themselves investigating.
The results should have shown up quickly.
"Our investigation determined this village is just an ordinary small village, the thirty to forty residents are all ordinary people, never having offended anyone, why they were massacred by cultivators, we honestly can’t understand." Lisa explained, extrely frustrated by the lack of leads.
Moreover, this involved cultivators.
Unwritten rules have long existed in the cultivation world: cultivators can’t arbitrarily massacre civilians, no matter what kind of cultivator, they abide by this rule.
Such events rarely occur.
Hearing Lisa explain, Chen Yang also sensed sothing was wrong.
"Do you think it might be Blood Bat Hall or Five Poisons Cult?" Chen Yang suddenly suggested.
"Brother Chen Yang, we thought of that too, but there’s currently no evidence." Xiao Hu spoke up then.
"Right, we have no evidence." Lisa nodded, then added, "We asked you to help because your strength is formidable, able to handle various situations, and also to assist us in our investigation."
"Because none of us have really dealt with Blood Bat Hall or Five Poisons Cult, perhaps you know better."
Lisa knew Chen Yang was strong and ticulous, so she had specifically phoned him for assistance.
"Understood." Chen Yang nodded thoughtfully, then began asking Lisa for details on the incident.
Lisa carefully recounted the whole story to Chen Yang.
Last night, the local police station received a report of a murder case here, so so police went ahead to investigate.
But when the police arrived, it wasn’t a simple murder case; it was an atrocious massacre of the entire village!
Such a serious cri was obviously beyond ordinary police to handle, so the secret bureau took it up.
Lisa and her team had been here since last night, but after investigating for over ten hours, apart from determining the massacre’s connection to a cultivator through certain ans, they found no other clues.
