You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

Chapter 380 The first clues appear

It was not until Yun Qinghan told Zhong Baixuan, with a smile, about Ling Yu's injury and healing process that he suddenly realized.

"I see. I said I had a dream about extreme pain! It turns out it was real!"

Zhong Baixuan couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had survived such a situation, and was almost recovered now, except for his bloated body and translucent dark skin.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Ji~"

"Okay, I have a general understanding of the injuries Brother Zhong suffered, but how did you fight with the deep-sea monsters? Did you go into the sea?" Chang Qing asked.

The smiles on their faces faded and the atmosphere became solemn.

Zhong Baixuan recounted what happened to them over the past few months:

"In the past two years, our disciples have always lost contact or encountered accidents in the coastal area while on missions outside. The sect felt something was wrong and sent us to investigate.

Unexpectedly, the next day, when we were heading south, we met a disciple from Longyin Valley. He was also here to investigate the reason why the disciple had lost contact. Then we went together to the coastal area."

When Zhong Baixuan said this, Chang Qing frowned but did not interrupt him.

"When we arrived at some fishing villages along the coast, they were already deserted. The wind blew up the loose soil on the ground, and we found corpses everywhere. It turned out that they had been slaughtered. The corpses of those fishermen were full of marks of being torn by sharp teeth. I guess they became dinner for monsters.

We searched the coast there for half a month, but found nothing except villages and towns that had turned into hell. "

“Half a month later, we arrived at a dense jungle. The badge of the disciple from Longyin Valley suddenly lit up. He then said that he had sensed the location of the sect’s disciples. We headed there together, but we walked deeper and deeper into the jungle. After walking for half a day, we came to a valley where even the sun couldn’t shine in.

There was a deep pool in the valley, which was extremely salty and fishy, ​​and I thought it was connected to the sea. We searched separately outside the deep pool, and indeed found many jade tablets and remains of disciples. At this time, the man from Longyin Valley screamed, and then there was a sound of falling into the water.

When we arrived, the people were gone and only the rippling lake water remained.

Feeling that this place was eerie, we planned to leave. However, when we were getting ready to leave, dozens of monsters that looked like both humans and fish suddenly appeared around us. They looked like the legendary mermaids. The mermaids appeared so strangely that no spiritual consciousness could detect them at all.

The mermaids were like wild beasts, stretching out their claws and fangs, biting at us. Fortunately, the mermaids were not strong, not yet at the Kaidan realm, so we thought we could easily deal with them. But there were more and more mermaids, so we had to fight and retreat. Just when we thought we had escaped, a black shadow flashed by, and my body was in great pain. I felt like a rag doll, being bitten by something and thrown around. The moment my Dharma image rose, it was bitten to pieces, and then I lost consciousness... When I woke up, I was already here."

After Zhong Baixuan finished speaking, Yun Qinghan added:

"That shadow was a shark-headed, shark-tailed monster with dark black skin and a human-like body. It was huge and its strength was unclear. After biting Zhong Baixuan, I saw that the situation was urgent, so I activated several of my best techniques and attacked together with Junior Brother Ling Yu. However, the attack had no effect on the monster and was bounced back, as if that layer of skin was a magical device.

I had no choice but to take out a bunch of tactical jade bottles and smash them at the monster. The monster seemed unable to adapt to the smell of the fierce ghost smoke bomb. It screamed, left Lao Zhong behind, and jumped into the pool. That’s how we came back~"

It sounds simple to some people, but I think this mission must be extremely dangerous.

"The half-human, half-shark monster is a high-level demon king? Impossible! If he has that kind of power, how could he let them come back safely!"

Chang Qing shook his head. Although he didn't know much about the demons in the deep sea, he knew the effect of the Fierce Ghost Smoke Bomb and it would never be able to delay a high-level demon king for that long!

"It's a pity for the person from Longyin Valley who led the way. He was dragged into the deep pool by those mermaids. I guess no trace of his body is left~" Zhong Baixuan said regretfully.

Yun Qinghan and Ling Yu also looked unhappy.

"Hmph~" a sneer.

"What a pity for him? When I see him next time, I'll have a chance to kill him myself and then mourn.

If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be on the verge of death, if it weren't for him, you would have almost all been buried in the deep pool!"

The three of them were shocked, as if there was another hidden meaning in Changqing's words.

"Xiao Qingzi, that person has been with us for several days and is a very kind person. How can you say that?" Yun Qinghan asked back.

Zhong Baixuan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Junior Brother Ji? Did you see something?"

Ling Yu also looked at Chang Qing, wanting to know the answer.

"Let me ask, what is the cultivation level of the people in Longyin Valley?"

"Fifth level of Pi Hai~" Ling Yu said.

“Then let me ask again, since there are also disciples missing in Longyin Valley, have you found the bodies of Longyin Valley disciples around the deep pool?” Changqing asked.

The three of them looked at each other and all felt that something was wrong.

"No, there are not even bones of ordinary people or corpses of wild animals. There are only corpses of my Yuling Sect's disciples!"

Yun Qinghan said that she could see clearly with her spiritual sense that there was nothing else except the corpses of several disciples of the Yuling Sect.

Chang Qing's heart sank slightly, and he continued:

"Since they also have missing disciples, how could it be possible that only one disciple at the fifth level of Pi Hai is searching alone? For such an urgent matter, it is impossible to send only one person to search."

Ling Yu was the first to react, his eyes flashing with coldness as he asked, "Teacher, are you saying this is a trap? Specifically targeting the disciples of the Yuling Sect?"

"Yes~"

"Did the disciple from Longyin Valley deliberately lead us to that deep pool? Even Longyin Valley colluded with the deep-sea monster clan?!" Zhong Baixuan felt that the situation was a little serious.

"But what good will this do for them?" Yun Qinghan asked.

“Although I don’t know why they colluded with the Deep Sea Demon Clan, it seems that the development of the Yuling Sect in recent years has brought crisis to Longyin Valley, so they started to take action!”

"But it's better to just knock on the door than to do it in secret. It's not straightforward at all!"

Yun Qinghan felt that Long Yin Gu's actions were like those of a mouse, sneaking around and hiding from the public.

"After the Yuling Festival, which force dares to attack Lingran openly? His identity as Bingzun's disciple is there. In the minds of these people, Yuling Sect has long been tied to Bingzun. If they come to attack directly, wouldn't that be courting death?

Cut off the rising star of Yuling Sect, take things slowly, let Yuling Sect have a lack of successors, and watch Yuling go into decline.

This is much better than directly facing the wrath of Bing Zun. They have lived so long that they naturally understand this."

Changqing expressed his guess, but he always felt that things were not that simple.

"Insidious!" Ling Yu clenched his fists and cursed.

"This matter needs to be reported to the sect as soon as possible, otherwise the disciples who are out for training will suffer more harm!" Zhong Baixuan also knew that the matter was a bit tricky.
