The Qingyou Spiritual Questioning Technique can only be most effective when it is almost dawn. Now it is still early, so Xia Ling and his group followed Yan Su to the place where the other people disappeared to check.

After investigating various scenes, Yan Su had something urgent to do, so the others went to the palace separately.

Xia Ling and his companions were walking aimlessly on the street, also to observe the latest situation in the capital.

Probably because of the impact of the Guimie incident, the number of people on the streets is decreasing day by day. They are probably hiding at home out of fear.

But this will give those behind the scenes more opportunities to succeed.

The group observed outside for most of the day, and after noting down some locations with strong evil energy, they found a teahouse to stop and catch their breath.

When Yue Chenzhi sees the tea set, he can't help but take the initiative to make tea, while Simufeng and Jiang Ci just lazily lean back in their chairs with their eyes closed to rest.

Qi Huai was quietly flipping through the sword manual.

As for Lin Xingfan, he rested his hands on his face and scribbled on the table out of boredom.

Xia Ling's thoughts were still on the scene he had just seen.

The capital city is very large, and they cannot go to every place where the people disappear in a short time.

But we have already checked ten places in the past two hours.

Apart from the blood-red magic circle drawn with blood, another similarity between them is that the evil aura at these disappearance locations is particularly strong, almost to the point that ordinary people cannot avoid it.

However, this evil aura was not the influence brought by the magic formation. If you look into it, it is more like the aura left behind by humans who practiced the forbidden ghost way.

The ghost path was listed as an evil path hundreds of years ago, and ghost cultivators were completely wiped out at that time.

It can be said that there are almost no ghost cultivators in the world of cultivation today. Even if there are, they live in hiding.

This kind of aura is not possessed by all ghost cultivators. Such a strong evil aura can only mean that this person must have relied on extreme methods to improve his own cultivation.

For example... devouring other people's hearts to gain cultivation, or relying on sucking other people's vitality.

Therefore, although they are human beings, they are called evil ghosts.

It is said that several hundred years ago, the vast majority of ghost cultivators, under the guidance of a sect, went astray and massacred tens of millions of people.

They also aroused public anger, and after the massacre, people could no longer tolerate ghost cultivators, so they were listed as evil.

The ghost cultivators who participated in the massacre were beheaded one by one, and as for the remaining ghost cultivators, they were said to have been exiled.

Now, hundreds of years later, they are gradually being forgotten by everyone.

Xia Ling suddenly asked: "Big Brother, where is the place where the ghost cultivators are exiled?"

Yue Chenyi held the wide cuffs with one hand and held the teapot with the other hand, pouring the brewed tea into the teacup. He also responded, "The extremely cold place in the northern part of the cultivation world."

Seeing that they suddenly started talking about business, the bored Lin Xingfan came over to discuss: "At that time, the ghost cultivators massacred tens of millions of people, and the people were outraged.

After they were executed, the remaining ghost cultivators were driven to the extremely cold land in the north to guard the Cave of All Evils, but more than a decade ago, the last batch of ghost cultivators died. "

Xia Ling had learned a few days ago that his fifth senior brother was the only son of the northern lord of the cultivation world, so it was not surprising that he knew this.

but...

"What is the Cave of All Evil?" Even though Xia Ling had read countless books, this was the first time he heard of this name.

Lin Xingfan seemed to have remembered something bothering him, his face full of disgust: "The evil land in the north is where some evil ghosts, demons and evil spirits are suppressed. In addition, there are also extremely powerful mutated or deformed monsters.

Although the five major sects had joined forces to set up a seal thousands of years ago, they were unable to completely suppress the unusual movements.

Every once in a while, some of the things in the Evil Cave will break out and harm humans. It's so disgusting."

When Lin Xingfan thought of those twisted and disgusting monsters he saw in his childhood, he got goose bumps all over his body. "Anyway, Junior Sister, even if you have the opportunity to travel to the north in the future, it's best not to go near that place."

Seeing how repulsive he was, Xia Ling became more curious: "Where do these things come from? Can't they be destroyed?"

“It would be great if we could wipe them out.” Lin Xingfan sighed, “You don’t know, the things in the Cave of All Evils multiply very quickly, and most of them are formed by the condensation and fusion of Yin Sha or demonic energy. As long as these auras are not dissipated, they cannot be exterminated.”

"I see." The main reason why Xia Ling asked these questions was that he felt that this matter was closely related to the ghost cultivator who was exiled that year.

She was sure that the smell in the homes of those missing people was the stench of evil spirits.

Could it be that behind this conspiracy is revenge plotted by those exiled ghost cultivators?

Xia Ling was not sure. After all, the practice of ghost cultivation had long been forgotten in the long river of history.

During the cleanup several hundred years ago, there were less than a thousand ghost cultivators exiled, so it was not easy to plan this big situation.

No...it should be said that even if they joined forces with the demons, it would be difficult for them to cause such a big stir in the world of cultivation.

When Xia Ling lowered his head and thought carefully, Simu Feng said calmly: "Do you think this matter is related to those exiled ghost cultivators?"

"Hmm." Although Xia Ling was unsure, she did not directly deny her guess: "What do you think?"

Simu Feng shook the feather bone fan in his hand: "It's not impossible. On the surface, the ghost cultivators have been extinct more than ten years ago, but no one can be sure that there are no remnants."

Jiang Ci added: "Although those ghost cultivators wore restraint rings when they were exiled, the Five Sects did not impose too many restrictions on their offspring. Perhaps their remaining offspring escaped from the Evil Cave and caused chaos in order to seek revenge."

Qi Huai pointed out the same doubt as Xia Ling: "On their own, they can't cause chaos in the cultivation world."

Xia Ling and Qi Huai looked at each other and said, "In other words, the power behind the perfectly erasing clues of all disappearances in the human world and the cultivation world must have a certain status in the cultivation world."

Qi Huai didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

"That sect or family is so desperate?" Lin Xingfan really couldn't understand it. You know, once this kind of crime is revealed, it will definitely be a death sentence.

"This is just speculation at the moment, so it's better not to make it public." Xia Ling took the tea handed to him by Yue Chenzhi and put it aside, "I have one question that I don't understand."

Lin Xingfan: "What's the matter?"

Xia Ling said bluntly: "Why were those ghost cultivators who did not participate in the ghost cultivator massacre a hundred years ago exiled?

Since the ghost cultivators who participated in the massacre have been beheaded, why should the remaining innocent people bear the responsibility for them?"

The people present seemed to have not expected Xia Ling to ask such a question, and none of them were able to respond immediately.

But Xia Ling was even more confused.

She understood the principle that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer.

But ghost cultivation had not been classified as an evil art before that. Wasn’t it a very common thing for people to choose to cultivate ghost cultivation?

And even if most of the ghost cultivators massacred the civilians, those who did not participate should not be held responsible for those people.

Shouldn't the remaining ghost cultivators be listed as innocent people? But why were they listed as taboo beings that were rebuked and hated by everyone in the end?

They suffered such undeserved punishment, so how could they not cause resentment?
