Zhang Hao teased with a smile, "If Senior Brother doesn't want to go, Junior Brother will go by myself. We'll meet up at Wanmo Ridge then."
"Count me in too!" Qi Zhao quickly said.
"Mengyao will also go with Young Master," Liu Mengyao also stated.
"Hehe, Junior Brother misunderstood. Senior Brother just doesn't want any complications. But since Junior Brother is interested, we will naturally act together," Lin Junwei chuckled.
The sky gradually darkened.
Player Zhang Hao sat cross-legged in his room at the inn. Suddenly, a scream came from outside the inn. His eyebrows twitched, and in the next second, he appeared outside his room. He clearly saw a bloody light shoot out from a room next door and flee into the distance.
"Trying to leave!"
Zhang Hao immediately gave chase.
Although the person in front was fast, how could their speed compare to Zhang Hao's?
"Stay here!"
"Wind Capture Shadow!"
Zhang Hao unleashed his Wind God Leg and swept out a kick.
Heavy leg shadows appeared behind that person in the blink of an eye. The speed was as fast as lightning. That person had no way to dodge.
"Bang!"
That person screamed. In an instant, they were sent flying. They landed on the ground, lifeless.
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao for killing a Heavenly Demon Sect minion, Experience Points 1000! True Qi 100, Frenzy Energy 10."
Zhang Hao was depressed; killing a Martial King was truly trash. He only got 1000 experience points. It seemed killing a Martial King wouldn't give him much experience anymore. However, this person was actually from the Heavenly Demon Sect, so who exactly did the person he just killed kill?
Zhang Hao suddenly thought of something and immediately rushed back.
At this moment, the inn was in chaos, very messy. The City Guard had sealed off the inn. Zhang Hao squeezed in and asked Liu Mengyao, "Mengyao, who was killed?"
Liu Mengyao looked at Zhang Hao and said, "The uncle who talked to you during the day is dead."
"Ah!"
Although he had expected it, Zhang Hao still felt a bit surprised.
"Junior Brother, where did you go just now?" Lin Junwei looked at Zhang Hao.
There was a hint of questioning in his tone. Zhang Hao frowned and said, "I went to chase the murderer."
"And the murderer?" Lin Junwei looked at Zhang Hao with a somewhat cold smile.
"Dead!" Zhang Hao said lightly.
"Oh! Then you chased for nothing?" Lin Junwei glanced at Zhang Hao with some dissatisfaction.
"Zhang Hao, did you find any clues?" Qi Zhao looked at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Yes, that person is from the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
"Someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect? Do you have evidence?" Lin Junwei looked at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao took out a token and handed it over, saying, "This is a Heavenly Demon Sect identity token."
"Oh! It really is!"
Lin Junwei looked at the identity token; the character 'Demon' was written on it. On the other side was the character 'Eight'.
"Senior Brother, we must rush to that village tomorrow morning. I always feel that we might find some clues there," Zhang Hao said.
"Should we go to Wanmo Ridge first? After all, this is what Elder Tu Zhan and Deputy Sect Leader meant!" Lin Junwei pondered for a moment before speaking.
Zhang Hao, however, shook his head and said, "When a general is outside, military orders are not always strictly followed. Moreover, if we go too late, I'm afraid the place will be destroyed, and then there will be no point in us going."
Seeing that Zhang Hao was extremely insistent, Lin Junwei nodded and said, "Alright, then let's go to that village!"
Early the next morning, Zhang Hao and the others spent three hours finally arriving at the village the merchant uncle had mentioned.
This village was very remote. It could be said that if Zhang Hao hadn't asked for details, they would definitely not have found it. Even so, they still spent several hours to find this place.
"Huh, fire!"
Zhang Hao and the others saw raging flames burning in the village ahead. They were greatly shocked and immediately rushed in.
But the fire was too big. No matter how anxious Zhang Hao and the others were, there was nothing they could do.
"Damn it, we're a step too late," Zhang Hao said somewhat helplessly.
After the fire gradually weakened, Zhang Hao and the others entered the village. They found countless charred corpses. Zhang Hao was a bit confused. The Heavenly Demon Sect and others clearly knew that they would come to this place, which is why they burned it down. But what exactly were they trying to hide?
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes.
However, this fire was obviously set in a hurry, so it was impossible to burn all the clues. Zhang Hao still searched around the village.
Suddenly, Zhang Hao discovered a corpse curled up in a corner. Apparently, because this corpse was curled up in the corner, it was not burned.
This was the corpse of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. But when Zhang Hao examined the boy's corpse, he was a bit surprised. Because he found the boy's corpse was a bit strange. His whole body was extremely pale, just like an albino on Earth.
However, Zhang Hao knew this boy was not an albino.
"Zhang Hao, did you find anything?"
Qi Zhao also walked over. When he saw the boy's corpse in front of Zhang Hao, he was a bit surprised.
"Zhang Hao, this boy died very strangely! But I can't tell what's strange about it," Qi Zhao looked at the boy's corpse with some surprise.
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "All the blood in this boy's body has been sucked dry."
"Ah!"
Qi Zhao stepped forward to examine it and found that it was indeed the case.
Zhang Hao said solemnly, "I suspect that the other villagers likely died the same way."
"How could the Heavenly Demon Sect be so deranged, not even sparing ordinary people?" Qi Zhao was somewhat angry.
"I think the Heavenly Demon Sect did this for some unknown purpose, but I can't figure out what the Heavenly Demon Sect is trying to do right now," Zhang Hao sighed.
"Therefore, we must rush to Wanmo Ridge. Perhaps there will be clues there."
Lin Junwei had walked over at some point, looking at Zhang Hao.
Two hours later, the six people arrived at the location of Wanmo Ridge. The surroundings were full of cliffs and steep terrain.
"Junior Brother, there's a cave ahead," Lin Junwei pointed to a cave ahead.
Zhang Hao also walked over, squatted down, and said, "There's a very strong malevolent aura inside. I don't know what's in there."
"Perhaps the Heavenly Demon Sect people are hiding inside. After all, many people in the Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivate Blood Fiend Qi," Lin Junwei suddenly remembered something and said.
"That's possible, then I'll go down and take a look," Zhang Hao pondered for a moment.
"Zhang Hao, I'll go down with you too. It's too dangerous for you to go down alone," Qi Zhao quickly said.
"Mm, that's good too."
Zhang Hao said, instructing Liu Mengyao, "Mengyao, you and the three Senior Brothers stay up here and watch. Qi Zhao and I will go down together."
"Okay!" Liu Mengyao nodded in agreement.
This cave seemed to have a power that prohibited flight; they could only slowly climb down using ropes.
Zhang Hao and Qi Zhao descended into the cave along the prepared hemp ropes.
Just as Zhang Hao and Qi Zhao were about halfway down the ropes, the ropes they were holding suddenly broke in a strange manner.
