A quick encounter leads to a lifetime of misunderstandings

"So before the missing baby happened, were there other things that happened in the city?"

The city lord's expression began to become very complicated, including panic, pain, and struggle. He slowly closed his eyes.

Qi Xuan: "If the city lord really wants to solve the problems in the city, I hope the city lord will not hide it."

Su Luoluo: "Yeah, if you don't want all the babies in the city to disappear, you'd better make everything clear."

After a while, Bai Ye sighed, with a painful expression on his face, "I said."

It turned out that the courtyard they were looking at just now was the courtyard where the city lord's daughter-in-law lived. Her name was Leng Gong, and she was an embroiderer who moved from other places. Her brother was with her.

The two rented a small courtyard in the city to live in. The elder brother went out to do hard work every day to make money, while Leng Lu embroidered and sold samples every day, and they lived a comfortable life.

Leng Cuan was very good-looking. One day when he went to the embroidery workshop to sell embroidery samples, he happened to be seen by Bai Wenzi, the son of the city lord. He never forgot her, and later began to pursue her fiercely.

But Leng Ruo's attitude has always been indifferent. She believes that a dude like the young city lord is not someone worthy of being entrusted with life.

Bai Wenzi, who had been pursuing her to no avail, lost patience and used force to marry her home.

Bai Hua has always doted on his child, and seeing that he was determined to marry Leng Chu, he fulfilled his wish.

Leng Lu also made trouble and cried at first, but Bai Wenzi threatened her brother's life, and in the end Leng Lu had no choice but to accept her fate.

The two also spent a period of time treating each other as if they were guests, and Bai Wenzi treated her fairly well after their marriage.

Two months after their marriage, Leng Chu was diagnosed with pregnancy, and Bai Wenzi loved her even more.

But a few months before the birth, rumors spread in the city that Leng Cun's brother was just her cousin, and the two eloped to Yunhai City.

This word spread to the city lord's palace, and everyone also had doubts about whose child the child in Leng Lu's belly belonged to.

Leng Lu felt insulted, but no matter how she explained, no one wanted to believe it.

It happened that at this time, my cousin died in an accident again, and the news reached Leng Lu's ears impartially.

Under such stimulation, she gave birth to a son early, which confirmed everyone's speculation.

Bai Wenzi felt like he couldn't hold his face up, and he didn't even come to see Leng Cuo once during his confinement period.

Finally, with the concubine's encouragement and the family's acquiescence, he personally strangled the full-term child to death.

Leng Ruo saw that the child was not breathing, and was immediately driven crazy. From then on, he went crazy every day, holding a pillow to coax his own child.

Later, she was locked in the yard. Bai Wenzi didn't know how to face her, and he never set foot in her yard since then.

The last time he went in was because Leng Lu was found to have fallen into the lake and drowned.

After Leng Chu died, he realized something was wrong and arranged for people to investigate everything.

It turned out that Leng Lu and his brother were brothers and sisters. Those rumors were spread by the concubine who encouraged her to kill her son. It was her guidance that Leng Lu would fall into the lake.

But without knowing the truth, he killed Leng Cong's brother, his own son, and finally Leng Clan.

He sent someone to kill his concubine, and he himself became seriously ill.

Everyone in the Xuantian Sect was very angry when they heard this. They didn't want to believe it when they were alive, and they pretended to be affectionate when they were dead.

Yuan Ling had a sarcastic expression on his face. If he liked her, why would he have a concubine? Men who are philandering are not good things.

Su Luoluo: "What happened next?"

"After we buried Leng Cuo, my son died suddenly one night. He was strangled to death, and there were finger prints on his neck.

Later, there was a case of missing babies in the city. Based on what happened before, I suspected that Leng Chu was responsible, so I called a Taoist priest to do it. After the ritual, it felt peaceful for a while, but it started again recently, and this time no one in the city was able to leave. "

Qi Xuan: "If it was Leng Chu who did it, then we need to lure her out first."

Bai Hua knelt down and kowtowed, "I know that our City Lord's Mansion was at fault, but those babies are innocent. I beg the immortals to save those babies."

Su Luoluo sighed. Except for those babies, no one else in this city was innocent.

The concubine is the mastermind, Bai Wenzi is the murderer, the city lord's mansion is an accomplice, and the people spreading rumors are not indirect accomplices.

But they were angry. As disciples of cultivating immortals, the matter still had to be resolved. Now they could only draw her out first, resolve her resentment, and send her into reincarnation.

But those children are too delicate and have been missing for a long time, so the chances are bad.

Farewell to the city lord, everyone went to the resting place to discuss countermeasures.

"Are we really going to find a kid to use as bait?"

"It stands to reason that even if Leng Lu wants to capture babies because of his obsession, why do he want to capture so many babies?"

"Her children are boys. At the beginning, she took away all the boys, which can be understood as obsession; but why did she take away the girls later?"

“What do these kids have in common?”

Everyone is asking questions with every word they say.

Yuan Ling did not discuss with them, but stood by the window and used his spiritual consciousness to investigate the situation in the entire city.

What he suddenly discovered made him clench his fists. This was the so-called ritual performed by Taoist priests.

It turns out that the rituals mentioned by the city lord actually locked Leng Lu's soul, preventing him from entering reincarnation. After a long time, he could only lose his soul.

Oh, all this is really their own consequences.

But the soul locking formation seems to have been destroyed.

Just as he was about to withdraw his consciousness, he suddenly saw a figure passing by that he would never forget.

When he tried to see more clearly, he couldn't see anything.

He was shaking all over, his eyes were scarlet, and just as he was about to rush out, he was stopped by Qi Xuan.

"Senior brother Yuan Ling, no matter what you saw, calm down. It is very dangerous for you to go out now, and you may also alert the enemy."

Qi Xuan just noticed that he didn't say a word, so she paid attention to him, but she saw that something was wrong with his expression.

Yuan Ling's palms were bleeding from his nails before he managed to calm down.

If he is really related to the incident in Yunhai City, it would be a good time to avenge old and new grudges together.

……

This side of Qiyan Peak

After Murong Yan gave guidance to the young disciple, he asked him to retreat.

"Ming'er, after you come out of seclusion this time, if you don't make any pills again, your right to use the kitchen will be confiscated."

"Ah, Master, no."

"Then you should practice hard."

"Master, don't worry, my disciple will work hard."

After watching the little disciple retreat, she set off towards Yunhai City.

When she was approaching Yunhai City, she deliberately changed her appearance to hide her cultivation and disguised herself as a casual cultivator.

Standing outside the city, Murong Yan could see that the entire city was shrouded in a black barrier, and it looked like it was filled with demonic aura.

This should be the reason why those in the city cannot go out.
