She forcefully kissed her nemesis before dying, and her character collapsed after being reborn.

Chapter 49 The Cunning Little Qinghuan! She's asking for trouble again!

"You, you guys..."

The man kneeling on the ground and the women beside him were overjoyed at the sight of this dramatic turn of events.

But the identities of Xu Nian and the others are unknown.

They were still very careful.

"We are disciples of a nearby immortal sect, here to gain experience. There's no need for you to be nervous," Xu Nian said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man finally felt relieved.

He knelt down and kowtowed with his wife and daughter.

"Thank you, Immortal Venerable, for saving my life!"

Xu Nian gently waved her hand, and the group was lifted up by a gentle force.

No nonsense.

Ask about the situation directly.

"What's going on now? We've received reports that demons are causing trouble in the village, and people have been being killed for several days. Where are the demons?"

The man was horrified when he heard this.

She quickly looked around, as if afraid that someone might have overheard Xu Nian's words.

Then he noticed the bodies scattered on the ground.

Suddenly it dawned on him that the evil dragon king's protector, the bald man, was already dead.

His men were all dead.

I'm not afraid anyone will hear me.

The monster caused trouble in the area some time ago, but it only ate people. As long as you don't go out at night or go to remote places, there won't be any problems.

But later, it's unclear how the bald man and his companions got involved with that monster.

He became the spokesperson for that demon.

He claimed to be the protector of the demon king.

They started robbing and looting, demanding silver and tribute.

If they didn't pay, they would forcibly rob them; otherwise, they would abduct the women.

Several households have already been robbed.

In some cases, even the daughters of several families were sent away as tribute.

The people were afraid, but dared not run away.

If you try to escape and get caught, you're dead.

But as it stands, as long as the monthly payments are made, everything should be fine.

The man then briefly explained the situation over the next period of time.

Xu Nian sneered.

Did you think that paying money would solve everything?

This beast is ruthless; after squeezing the people dry of their money, it starts to take action.

Or they would kidnap women to be offered as tribute.

Or just kill them directly.

They haven't touched those people yet, it's just that they still have money.

The weak and powerless people have no choice but to accept their fate.

They are all pitiful people.

"What other accomplices did that bald man have initially? For example, the other protectors of that demon?"

"No, no, there were originally several physically strong people who wanted to join them, but they were killed by the bald man, so he is the only protector."

Xu Nian nodded.

That's a good thing; we don't have to kill anyone else.

It's much more convenient.

Next, all we need to do is find that monster and kill it.

This mission is now complete.

"Senior sister, you are all-powerful, you should have a way to summon the spirit, right? Please ask the bald man for the location of that demon. Just ask him. Doesn't he claim to be the Grand Elder? He should know where the demon is hiding."

Fu Qiuyu glanced at Xu Nian with some surprise.

How did this guy know he had a magical artifact that could summon spirits?

He looked so confident.

It was as if he knew everything.

That's right, Xu Nian naturally knew.

In his previous life, when he was on a mission, he even brought his senior sister's soul-summoning bell.

Then I just downloaded it and treated it as my own.

Because of her superior strength, the senior sister could only reluctantly ask me to buy her more sweet potatoes, and dared not take them back.

At that moment, Fu Qiuyu took out a small bell from the pocket at his waist.

Slender, long fingers held the bell.

Shake gently.

The bell made a pleasant sound.

Long and unending.

The wind from somewhere blew and made the bells ring.

A figure slowly appeared before them.

It was an illusory shadow, influenced by the sound of the bell.

Continuous solidification.

The middle-aged man was so shocked by the scene that he almost fainted.

The shadow was none other than the bald man from before.

However, at this moment, he no longer possessed the violence and ruthlessness he had shown earlier.

Instead, he looked completely dazed.

His eyes were empty.

The Soul-Capturing Bell! Its function is to summon souls!

However, the quality of the magical artifact is not high, and it has many limitations.

First, it can only summon the spirits of cultivators who have just died.

Second, the cultivator whose spirit is being summoned cannot be stronger than oneself.

Third, one must not be a person born with a mental or spiritual deficiency.

Right now, all the conditions for the bald man summoning spirits have been met.

Xu Nian didn't waste any words and got straight to the point.

Where is the monster?

"monster…"

Wu Qinghuan looked at her senior brother as if he were an idiot.

Pouting.

A clear, cold voice uttered from her red lips, "Where is your master, the Dragon King? What is it doing?"

“Master… Jiao Wang…” The bald man, his expression blank, fell into thought.

It took about an incense stick's time for a reaction to occur.

He managed to utter a sound with difficulty.

"The Flood Dragon King is...accumulating spiritual power in the Blackwater Pool deep within the Changping Mountains... in his attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and also...guarding... the Blackwater Pool..."

"Guarding the Blackwater Pool? Why would we need to guard it?"

The solid light and shadow of the bald man became much more illusory.

The sound is also getting softer.

"Because...there are treasures...great treasures...in the pool..."

Ok?

An unexpected surprise?

Xu Nian originally just wanted to ask about the location of the demon, go with her senior sister and junior brother, deal with the demon, and return on the same day.

That completes the task.

But unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.

I was going to ask more questions.

But at that moment, the bald man's illusory figure quickly vanished.

Fu Qiuyu shook his head helplessly, "This guy's strength is too weak. The Soul-Devouring Bell can only do this much. It can't continue to maintain his soul."

He's a guy in the Body Tempering stage, but he hasn't cultivated his Divine Soul yet.

The strength of the soul is too weak.

After death, the soul cannot absorb nourishment.

Being able to answer so many questions is already my limit.

But it doesn't matter.

At least we've obtained the information we wanted.

They now know the location of the monster.

At the same time, they had an unexpected gain: they learned that there was treasure at the location of the monster.

"Shall we head over now? The sooner we go, the sooner we can come back?" Xu Nian suggested.

Wu Qinghuan maintained the same expressionless face, devoid of joy or sorrow.

He was very calm, and it seemed he would do whatever his senior brother said.

Fu Qiuyu nodded, "Okay, I'm a little hungry. Let's go back and eat after we kill the monsters."

Third Senior Sister seemed to have thought of something.

She glared fiercely at Xu Nian, "Junior brother, you have to roast sweet potatoes for your senior sister when you get back!"

Xu Nian looked blank, but still nodded, "Okay."

What does this mean?

Why is my senior sister suddenly being so fierce to me?

Xu Nian subconsciously looked at Wu Qinghuan.

I don't know why, but I always feel that this cunning brat is the one who did this.

Xu Nian had felt something was strange when they were in the deacon's hall earlier.

Why is my senior sister looking at me so strangely?

Now they have this attitude again.

It was definitely Wu Qinghuan who did it! He framed me!

To ruin my relationship with my senior!

That wretched junior brother!
