Chapter 37
In the room, on the ground, on the walls, there were willow branches everywhere.
At the moment Lin Yuan stepped in.
The densely entwined willow branches wriggled like snakes, each as thick as a baby’s arm, coming towards him frantically.
Boom!!
A burst of intense blood energy.
The scorching gang qi covered Lin Yuan’s body, as if a scorching sun filled the dark room with daylight in an instant.
“Crack-”
Each willow branch made a sound like being burned by fierce fire, twisting and turning black, falling to the ground crackling before even getting close.
Looking up, Lin Yuan saw that Liu Zongming had already been wrapped up like a rice dumpling by the willow branches, with only one arm still exposed, struggling desperately.
“Aren’t you running away?”
Lin Yuan sneered and strode forward.
Bang!
A slap on the willow branches wrapping around Liu Zongming, instantly shattering into numerous pieces and shooting in all directions, but not harming Liu Zongming at all.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a reluctant roar.
All the willow branches began to contract quickly, and in an instant the whole room became empty, with only charred and broken branches on the ground.
“Thank you… cough, thank you, Young Master Lin, for helping!”
Liu Zongming’s face was pale, with a look of gratitude and anger.
Puff!
He pulled the willow branch inserted in his abdomen, and blood gushed out immediately.
“Jia Family Villa has a problem! I heard a commotion outside just now, was about to go out, but was ambushed by the willow branch on the table. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been defenseless!”
“Thanks to Young Master Lin’s high level of strength and timely help, otherwise today would have been a disaster!”
As he spoke.
He took out the golden wound medicine and sprinkled it on the wound, quickly stopping the bleeding.
Then he swallowed a few pills, circulated his energy, and made his move.
After doing all this.
Liu Zongming’s face regained some color, gritting his teeth and saying:
“I thought there was some fate between Liuwang Town and me, so I came for a bit of fun, but almost died here… damn it, Jia Family Villa must be hiding something. The town is called Liuwang Town, yet it hides a willow demon, how coincidental is that?”
“Young Master Lin, in my opinion, all the people in the Jia Family Villa should be controlled immediately and thoroughly interrogated!”
Lin Yuan turned and walked towards the door, shook his head, and said lightly:
“There’s no need for that.”
Liu Zongming didn’t quite understand what he meant, followed him out of the room, and as he looked up, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He saw several bodies lying in the yard, all already decomposed and stinking, all being the maids, servants, and family members seen during the day.
Obviously, they had been dead for many days!
“This….”
A chill rose behind Liu Zongming.
“If everything is as expected, the only person from the entire Jia Family Villa who is still alive today is her.”
Lin Yuan looked at Jia Xinyue, who was following behind Zhang Baoyi, pale-faced.
What he was curious about now.
The willow demon killed everyone in the Jia Family Villa, why did it spare her specifically?
A conscience remaining?
This joke is not funny at all.
It can only be said that Jia Xinyue must have something special.
She said that the group of little ghosts seen before only existed in nightmares, and tonight was the first time they appeared in reality…..
This indicates that whatever was controlling them behind the scenes had always wanted to kill her, especially after Lin Yuan and the others arrived, making it more urgent.
“Master Xuanku and Daoist Ziyun are still in the room!”
Liu Zongming suddenly said.
“So long without coming out, I’m afraid the situation is not good.” Zhang Baoyi had walked over by now, furrowing his eyebrows and speaking in a deep voice after hearing the news.
He sighed inwardly.
Talent is truly talent.
The Ninefold Blood Exchange at the brink of the True Gang Realm is different after all.
As a Fourfold Blood Exchange warrior, he couldn’t even cut through the bodies of these puppets.
Heavy warriors, he faced these corpse puppets without being able to even cut off their bodies.
However, as Lin Yuan entered the room, in just a few breaths, the place lit up as bright as daylight for an instant, and then all the corpse puppets lost control, all falling to the ground.
This also gave Zhang Baoyi much more confidence in solving this matter.
Lin Yuan said lightly, “It’s clear at a glance.”
He walked over, without any interference from the willow demon, directly pushing open the door.
A corpse lay stiff on the bed, to everyone’s surprise, it was Daoist Ziyun, his originally plump body now resembling a dried corpse, with all the blood sucked dry.
Liu Zongming’s eyes twitched.
If it weren’t for Lin Yuan rescuing him in time, this would probably be his fate!
“It’s my fault for them….” Jia Xinyue murmured to herself.
She seemed to look dazed, obviously the deaths of all the people in the Jia Family Villa had dealt her a huge blow.
Lin Yuan glanced at her, about to speak.
Suddenly, with a soft exclamation, he turned his head to look towards a nearby area, his eyes showing a strange color.
“Creak”
A door slowly opened, and Master Xuanku’s figure walked out from inside, his gaze turned solemnly towards the crowd.
“This bald donkey is still alive?” Zhang Baoyi was full of surprise.
Beside him, Liu Zongming asked in confusion, “Master Xuanku, weren’t you attacked by the willow demon?”
No wonder he asked that.
Because not only was Master Xuanku unscathed, but even his clothes were as clean as before.
But his cultivation level was relatively low, only in the mid-stage of Blood Exchange.
This was quite unbelievable!
“If you’re talking about those willow branches, this little monk did indeed get attacked, but just happened to have a few tricks up his sleeve, otherwise today…..”
Master Xuanku’s voice was low and hoarse, a cold light flashing in his long, lean face.
Keeping a certain distance from everyone, he stared ominously at Jia Xinyue, saying, “Master Jia, the situation at your villa seems different from what was mentioned in the letter, do you need to explain?”
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said calmly:
“There’s no need to dwell on the letter matter, all we received were fakes. But, Miss Jia, I have a question; where’s your father…. the owner of the Jia Family Villa, where has he been all this time without showing himself from beginning to end?”
Master Xuanku’s face changed slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with his overbearing attitude.
But after looking at the bodies on the ground, his lips moved slightly, no sound came out, his eyes becoming even more obscure.
“In fact, this is the main reason I urgently invited you all here.”
After a moment of silence, Jia Xinyue’s expression turned extremely painful, she lowered her head, her body uncontrollably trembling.
“Because people have been disappearing constantly, causing panic in the villa, my father went to the abandoned silver mine four days ago to stabilize the situation, and… never returned….”
She sobbed softly, tears streaming down like pearls.
“What does an abandoned silver mine have to do with it?”
After taking a deep breath, Jia Xinyue wiped away her tears and said softly:
“Because my father suspected that the haunting and disappearances in the villa were related to a strange idol he brought back from the abandoned silver mine….”
