The night before the tragedy was Wu Chengze’s fifty years old birthday celebration . Many guests came, and the celebration lasted until midnight .

The Dongyue family that Wu Zheng mentioned was another prestigious family nearby . There was a rumor that the two families had agreed on the marriage alliance .
Ye Qingtang nodded and did not speak anymore . It seemed that all the questions before were just some random thoughts . After that, besides asking Wu Zheng about the origin of the skulls, there was no further conversation .
Before the sunset, Zhou Xuan and the rest who walked through the entire village were all very pale .
The Spirit Condensation Mountain Village was not small, but the three hundred corpses were everywhere in the village . Everywhere that they could see was covered by blood . The decaying smell made them feel like they were walking in hell .
“Senior Brother Zhou, the situation of the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village… seems to be more complicated than what we thought,” a disciple who vomited many times said .

Zhou Xuan nodded in acknowledgment . Everything they saw today was bloody, but there were no useful clues at all .
“Everyone’s head in the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village was chopped off, and the wound was very neat . There were no traces of fighting beside the corpses . It’s not revenge . ”
“If it were revenge, how could they just succumb so easily?”
Zhou Xuan contemplated for a while and looked towards the Lin Long, who was walking at the back . “Junior Sister Lin, did you discover anything?”
Lin Long shook her head .

Zhou Xuan frowned and felt a bit annoyed . How could they accomplish the mission without any clues?
“There are no clues here . What about the skulls?” One of the disciples said .
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a while and then remembered that Ye Qingtang was still in that mountain of skulls . He sneered and said, “We shall see Junior Sister Ye’s investigation results . ”
“What can she find out? I don’t think she will be able to find any clues at all . I suppose that she was terrified by the skulls and did not even dare to touch the skulls . Senior Brother Zhou, Ye Qingtang is just a burden . She can’t do anything besides finding more troubles for us . ” One of the disciples twitched his mouth and did not expect any results from Ye Qingtang .
“It’s her first time attending a sect mission . We should tolerate her even if she creates some trouble . We are all her Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, so we must look after her,” Zhou Xuan said with a strong sense of righteousness .

“Senior Brother Zhou, you are too kind to her . She did not feel grateful to your kindness at all,” another disciple said coldly .
Zhou Xuan did not say much . He just waved his hand . “Don’t mention it anymore . We shall go check out the situation at the yard . ”
In the eyes of the two disciples, Zhou Xuan was taking care of Ye Qingtang in all perspectives . Even if Ye Qingtang died, they would not find Zhou Xuan suspicious at all .
And this…
This was what Zhou Xuan wanted .
The two disciples were obviously misled by Zhou Xuan’s fake kindness and looked down on Ye Qingtang, who only possessed a red spirit root . The group of people walked into the yard and waited to see Ye Qingtang’s pale and panicking face .
However…
They were shocked by the view in front of them when they reached the yard .
