Chapter 104: The Coming Disaster!_1
After the remnant souls of the Zhou father and daughter appeared, they were stunned.
Su Mu’s cultivation was too shallow, and he had only managed to summon half of his three souls and seven spirits back, so naturally he couldn’t count on them to be that smart.
“After you died, did you see anything special? Also…”
After successfully summoning the soul, Su Mu asked a few simple questions.
The unknown demon didn’t just absorb blood essence, it also absorbed essence energy.
Those incomplete souls that were not summoned back could have been absorbed by the demon. The inability to summon them back had nothing to do with Su Mu’s ability.
If that was the case, there would be a certain degree of connection between the souls.
Sure enough, after a round of questioning, Su Mu obtained an important piece of information!
The remnant souls of the Zhou father and daughter seemed to see a huge tree in their daze.
It was a giant tree that twisted like a dragon and spiraled upwards!
It was this strange tree that had devoured a portion of their souls.
After saying all this, the remnant souls of the Zhou father and daughter could no longer hold on and scattered in the world.
..
“Big tree…Big tree…”
“Constable Zhang, is there such a huge tree near Yuntai Town?”
Su Mu muttered to himself, but couldn’t come up with a reason, so he asked Zhang Shichong.
“What? Big…A big tree? I don’t think we have any here.”
Su Mu’s question woke Zhang Shichong up.
Clearly, the scene just now had shocked him.
” There aren’t any huge trees?”
Hearing this, Su Mu slightly frowned and muttered to himself.
Speaking of which, those wet and disgusting tentacles did look a little like tree roots.
It matched the identity of the tree demon.
However, there were no big trees near Yuntai Town.
How huge must the tree roots be to cross the invisible distance and attack the townspeople of Yuntai Town?
Su Mu was more inclined to believe that the tree demon was near or even inside Yuntai Town, but they just hadn’t discovered it.
Thinking of this, Su Mu said to Zhang Shichong:
“Constable Zhang, the only thing I can think of about the identity of that demon is the tree demon.”
“Perhaps you can search around Yuntai Town and see if you can find anything.”
“This… Alright, I’ll send someone to look for it recently.”
Hearing this, Zhang Shichong was a little hesitant, but in the end, he agreed.
The surroundings of Yuntai Town were wide and there weren’t many trees.
Only the hill behind the town had some trees.
However, there were no particularly eye-catching trees.
“By the way, Constable Zhang, you can contact the Taoist masters of the Flying Cloud Temple. Perhaps they can help.”
Su Mu seemed to recall something and added.
Hearing this, Zhang Shi Chong sighed,
“I wanted to ask those Taoist masters for help after the first case.”
“It’s just that they sealed the mountain peak and said that they’re in seclusion.”
“I walked for half a day, but I was still in circles in the fog. I couldn’t enter or exit.”
“In the end, it was a little Taoist priest who was about your age who gave it to me.”
Hearing this, Su Mu frowned slightly, sensing that something was wrong.
No wonder he hadn’t seen Ming Yueze recently. It turned out that the Flying Cloud Temple had sealed the mountain.
But a month ago, Su Mu had met with Ming Yue Zi, which meant that the mountain hadn’t been sealed off yet.
Why did they seal it as soon as the mummy case appeared?
Could there be some connection between the Flying Cloud Temple and the demons?
This shouldn’t be!
Although the Flying Cloud Temple was only a small sect, it had been passed down for hundreds of years and was a proper orthodox cultivator.
How could it be related to demons?
..
Su Mu was somewhat confused.
After parting ways with Zhang Shichong, he left for the back of the town and climbed up the mountain.
Climbing up the mountainside, I saw the top of the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, unable to see the inside clearly.
This was clearly not a normal cloud, but a maze!
Su Mu didn’t understand formations, so he couldn’t force his way through.
He observed from the outside and found a hidden corner to blow a whistle.
A strange bird cry spread in all directions.
This was the secret signal for Su Mu and Ming Yue Zi to meet.
Previously, when the whistle was blown, Ming Yue Zi, who had grown fatter, would run over and wait for Su Mu to feed him.
But this time, Su Mu waited for a long time but still didn’t see him.
It seemed that something had indeed happened to the Flying Cloud Temple!
Su Mu’s mood sank, and he could only return empty-handed.
..
The rain continued for the next few days.
The sky of the entire Yuntai Town was gray, as if something was brewing.
The atmosphere was very oppressive!
The only good news was that after that day, the Tentacle Demon did not appear again, and the mummy case was temporarily closed.
However, the ominous feeling in Su Mu’s heart was getting heavier and heavier!
One night half a month later, Su Mu was cultivating in his room.
He sat cross-legged and continued to cultivate, absorbing the water element spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
“Your talent…Not bad indeed.”
Su Mu finished his cultivation and was about to open his eyes when a tired voice suddenly came from beside him.
“Who is it?”
Su Mu was startled and immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw a middle-aged Taoist priest in his room. He looked handsome and had a tall figure.
However, at this moment, he looked extremely tired and haggard.
Su Mu recognized this Daoist. He was Ming Yue Zi’s master, Ying You Zi, one of the core figures of the Flying Cloud Temple.
This person’s sudden visit startled Su Mu.
Had he been exposed for secretly learning the Aura Refining technique of the Flying Cloud Temple?
What was the purpose of this Ying Youzi coming here?
Also, Su Mu suspected that the Flying Cloud Temple had some kind of connection with the demon that was suspected to be a tree demon.
