The Ancient Realm Goddess
Mysterious Old Man
Qing Yue'er darted away in any direction. Not to forget he also hid himself in the shadows so that others could not see him except for the person stronger than him or the other world spiritists. Then he walked down the lonely night streets.
He had briefly passed through several large places that became the central power of the Central Plains. Like for example the Heavenly Fire sect, the Black Cloud sect or the academy school in general.
Some of them are out maybe to watch and want to find out about the perpetrators of the murder. As with the Heavenly Fire sect, they took out several groups consisting of the peak of the celestial realm and the early stage of the earthly realm.
Qing Yue'er observed if there was anything suspicious but it turned out to be nothing. He finally left. Suddenly as his steps advanced, he heard a shout coming from the front.
He immediately moved quickly to see what was going on. However, even though he was already fast still he was already left behind. He looked at the two corpses that were already lying on the ground.
“Sial!” frangipani. A shadow shot towards the lush trees. He immediately chased after her. However, when he had entered that lush territory, he again lost track.
Qing Yue'er closed her eyes and sharpened her senses. Instantly his eyes opened. He could sense an extremely faint demonic aura. Really very vague. If he's not careful then he can't feel it.
“What? Two bodies?” Faintly Qing Yue'er heard someone who was talking from a distance. Because he had already lost track he finally turned around and returned to the whereabouts of the corpse that had not long ago died.
There were three men who were checking the condition of the two bodies. He observed them to see if there were any different from the corpses. However, it turns out the same as other corpses, namely the prick marks behind the ears.
Could it be the devil? Qing Yue'er was unable to confirm it. It was because he did not see the shadow darting out clearly. However, it was a fact that the shadow had a power stronger than him.
Qing Yue'er sighed. Finally he went back around, maybe he could find something else. He passed through many houses. Indeed, his quest was very random and unorganized.
When he entered the dark area, he was startled by something. Someone suddenly appeared in front of him as if wanting to stop his steps.
“Girl, return. What you do will only endanger yourself.”
Qing Yue'er raised both her eyebrows. It was an old man. However, he was unable to see her apparently because the person was turning his back on her. Only her white hair was clearly visible.
“Can I bother you?” qing Yue'er asked. He can't act recklessly. Because that person could find it must be that his strength was much higher than his, or it could be that that person was a world spiritist.
“Deaths are already outlined for stubborn people. Don't interfere with anyone's destiny line.” The person said softly before finally disappearing all of a sudden.
Qing Yue'er snorted. Is he interfering in the destiny line? He doesn't believe in such a thing. Who would know if he was part of the destiny itself?
“Weird guy,” murmured. According to him the destiny in this world is too abstract and unpredictable. As he said, anyone who knows if what he thinks is changing destiny is actually part of destiny itself.
It's nonsense. Perhaps only a god knows what destiny really is. If he used to believe in destiny then after going through many things, now he is not so. In this practical world, the strong are in power. If one becomes strong won't he easily determine his own life?
That, that's what he really wanted. Determine his own life. And to achieve such a thing he would definitely need a lot of struggle and sacrifice.
Qing Yue'er looked at the sky. Unknowingly he had already gone through a long night with a quest. Looks like he should go back. He was afraid that Li Xia or Chen Yi would look for him and find that he was not there.
Finally he decided to return to the back pavilion where Shen Hua lived. Fortunately, people have not returned and no one is looking for him either.
Qing Yue'er sat inside the pavilion. He was thinking of the person who had just blocked his step. The old man, it was a pity that he could not see his face. It's too mysterious.
As she was daydreaming, Shen Hua suddenly came to her. The middle-aged man smiled and greeted him politely. “Your name is Xinyu?”
“Nothing,” Qing Yue'er replied. Then he thought of something. “Master Shen, is there someone here asking people to go from the Central Plains region?”
Shen Hua nodded. “Many, certainly. For example a wise sect head would want ordinary citizens to leave first from here, for a while.”
“What many do you think?” qing Yue'er asked.
“Not really. You can see for yourself, some people still don't want to leave here. Most of them say that this is the birthplace so they don't want to leave. They prefer to be loyal to this place even though death can come at any time.”
Qing Yue'er pondered. Was the 'stubborn person' that the mysterious old man said to be an ordinary resident unwilling to leave? That's not an impossible thing. So who was that old man? He was also curious. It was a pity that the man only appeared for a moment.
“Truely too,” Qing Yue'er said in response to Shen Hua's explanation.
At that moment the group of Niu Ren and Xie Wuqing finally returned. Qing Yue'er was curious if they found anything. “Do you guys get information?”
Niu Ren shook his head. “We did get a lot of bodies falling but still no clue,” he said.
“Honey once,” said Qing Yue'er.
“Alright, you guys please chat. I'll go in.” Shen Hua who was feeling annoying finally chose to enter the house. He was simply unwilling if his presence made them all hesitate to discuss.
After Shen Hua left, several others left. All that remained were Qing Yue'er, Xiao Ling, her uncle and Niu Ren. Maybe they have their own thoughts.
Xie Wuqing looked at Qing Yue. He was curious whether Qing Yue'er had found anything else. He couldn't believe that the girl was just sitting here like a fool. That's not possible. He himself knows his nature.
“Xinyu, you have an idea?” xie Wuqing asked.
Qing Yue'er nodded. “Should I go out,” he said shyly.
Niu Ren looked at Qing Yue. “You shouldn't go anywhere.”
Qing Yue'er paid no heed to Niu Ren's remarks. They had no relationship whatsoever but the man forbade her from doing what he wanted. Finally he continued, “There is a demonic aura I found. Too faint, it might be difficult to notice.”
Xie Wuqing furrowed his brows. “What is it right after a dead body falls?”
“Ya, it should not be long after that.” Qing Yue'er nodded.
Niu Ren cleared his throat. “Could this be a demon deed?”
“That's not impossible, the devil does prefer night. It's a little suspicious.” Xiao Ling had overpowered him.
“Then we have to use a different way. Dealing with demons requires a more complex way. We'll talk about it later. You can rest first,” said Niu Ren.
Everyone agreed and went back home. The sun will appear soon too. And the search ended for a while.
