Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain!

Undercurrents (1)

Dongzhou, Wuling City,

In the Cultivation Academy, Feng Lingxue, who had recovered from her injuries, was teaching swordsmanship to the students in the martial arts arena.

The students listened very carefully, for fear of missing an action or a word.

Many students have already paid a heavy price for not listening carefully, and quite a few of them even lay down in the infirmary for several days.

In private, many people called Feng Lingxue the “Ice Fairy,” because most of the time Feng Lingxue was unsmiling. Most of the time, she only needs one look to make many people shudder.

Coupled with the master behind Feng Lingxue being the city lord, it made everyone from the students to the teachers dare not easily provoke this Ice Fairy.

They can listen less seriously to the lessons of other teachers, but Feng Lingxue’s lessons must be taken seriously, which has become the consensus of almost everyone, including the other teachers.

On this day, when the students were listening carefully, Feng Lingxue suddenly frowned, hurriedly ended the explanation of the theory of swordsmanship halfway through, and then asked the students to practice first.

But Feng Lingxue walked out of the martial arts arena, and at the gate of the martial arts arena, there was a girl who had been waiting for her for a long time.

Seeing Feng Lingxue walking straight towards her, the girl asked, “I didn’t disturb you, did I?”

Feng Lingxue shook her head and said, “One doesn’t go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Since you came to see me, there must be something wrong in the city. Tell me, did something happen again?”

That girl is Feng Shao’s second apprentice, Luo Qiushuang.

Luo Qiushuang replied, “It’s not that something happened in the city, but something happened outside the city.

You may not know that the number of caravans entering the city from the west gate and north gate has decreased significantly for seven consecutive days, and the number of caravans has not even reached twenty percent of the number from the other two city gates. This is very unreasonable.”

Feng Lingxue couldn’t understand and asked, “Can’t those caravans enter the city through the other gates?”

Luo Qiushuang said angrily, “Who would be foolish to go around and not to go in through the nearest city gate? So the only explanation is that there must be something wrong with the roads in those two directions.”

“Did you send someone to investigate?”

“I did, it was sent out three days ago. Except for those who investigated in the direction of Henglong Mountain, everyone else has returned. The reports of those who have returned so far have no effect, but they are investigating the process of unannounced visits in other cities. It was found that there have been no caravans from Henglong Mountain in other cities for a while. Do you think there is any problem here?”

Feng Lingxue pondered and said, “The problem seems to be obvious. It should be on the side of Henglong Mountain. Then you came to me today, do you want me to go to Henglong Mountain to investigate?”

“Third junior sister and I have something to do, so we have to ask you, senior sister, to help.”

Feng Lingxue nodded, “Okay, I’ll go there now.”

“Go and come back quickly.”

Feng Lingxue has always acted vigorously and resolutely, so she immediately flew up with her sword and flew straight toward Henglong Mountain. At this time, Luo Qiushuang and Feng Lingxue hadn’t realized how serious the things behind this seemingly insignificant matter were.

—

At the same time, in Henglong Mountain, a huge black mist was moving to the southeast.

If one looked down from the sky, one would see that the black mist stretched for several miles, covering a large dense forest.

In the area where the black mist passes, one can clearly see that the originally lush forest has turned gray and white, revealing a faint breath of death.

And it was none other than Chu Qing who caused the black mist. Or to be more precise, it was Chu Qing and Blood Wing.

After deciding where to go next, Chu Qing decided to go all the way to Wuling City.

Among the forces that he must take revenge on, in Chu Qing’s mind, Wuling City is undoubtedly the weakest.

If it was in the past, the arrogant and conceited Chu Qing must have dragged a large group of people straight to Wuling City without hesitation.

But this time, Chu Qing, who suffered frequent setbacks, finally became cautious.

He decided to improve his own strength before attacking Wuling City. And the best way to improve strength is naturally to absorb blood essence.

Blood essence is not only found in humans, but also in animals.

A cultivator’s blood essence is better than a mortal’s, and a demonic beast’s blood essence is better than an animal’s.

So along the way, Chu Qing used the secret technique taught by Blood Wing to attract the demonic beasts within hundreds of miles radius to him, and then sucked them up.

And the black mist that filled the surroundings was his main means of absorbing blood essence.

As he walked and absorbed blood essence, his strength also slowly increased. It didn’t take long before the threshold of the Taiqing realm was faintly touched.

Not only that, but as his strength improved, those blood essence remnants bound by the Blood Wing gradually grew stronger.

But under Blood Wing’s control, those remnant souls not only failed to bring any harm to Chu Qing, but they strengthened Chu Qing instead.

Chu Qing could easily drive these remnant souls to go hunting several miles away.

The places they passed seemed as if locusts were crossing the border, and one could only see mummified corpses and dilapidated dead trees all over the ground.

The dense forest of Henglong Mountain is vast and inaccessible. But among them, there are also several commercial roads built in surrounding cities, many of which lead to Wuling City. While these caravans were walking on the commercial road, they accidentally plunged into the black mist.

And then, they never come out again.
