Demonic Cultivation: Starting from a Horse Bandit

When the old village chief saw this, he felt a little calmer. It seemed that these people were not horse bandits, but he did not dare to take the money on the ground. He just raised his head carefully and said, "Your Majesty, please ask."

Xu Sanyan was riding on horseback, lowering his eyes, "I heard that your place was haunted some time ago, and several people died? Please tell me carefully."

The old village chief breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was here for this matter, so he quickly said, "To be honest with you, your Majesty, all three members of Zhao Laosan's family are dead. There was a beautiful little girl who came to ask about it before."

What a beautiful little girl? It should be Song Zhu.

"What did she do here?"

The village chief thought for a while and said, "I didn't do anything. I just went to Laowangou for a few days, and then secretly pried open the graves of Zhao Laosan's family. Later, I seemed to go to the town to find some county magistrate."

Xu Sanyan shook her head slightly. It was too stupid. This was her self-proclaimed right way of doing things, and it was too inefficient.

"How long has it been since Zhao Laosan's family died?"

"It's been more than a month. It's so scary. He's turned into a human being, and there's only a layer of skin and bones left on his body." The old village chief said with lingering fear.

"Take me to Zhao Laosan's house." Xu Sanyan waved, and a large group of villagers followed behind.

When a group of people came to Zhao Laosan's house, Xu Sanyan didn't expect to find strange objects here. Song Zhu must have turned the place upside down.

In front of a thatched hut, Xu Sanyan opened the door and went in to take a look. Many messy daily necessities were piled together, and the quilts on the wooden bed were still scattered around.

The whole house looked messy.

Xu Sanyan walked out of the house and asked the old village chief, "Has anyone entered this house since the death of Zhao Laosan's family?"

The old village chief hesitated and said, "Basically all the adults in the village have been here. Our village is small, so the big guys helped with the funeral arrangements for Zhao Laosan's family, and the beautiful little girl from before also came here. "

Xu Sanyan nodded lightly. He searched Song Zhu and found nothing. It seemed that she had not found the strange object either.

Why did Zhao Laosan's family die mysteriously, while other families in the village were no different?

"Where did Zhao Laosan's family often go when he was alive? Have you behaved strangely recently, or brought back anything strange?"

"Strange things..."

The old village chief frowned and thought for a long time. Xu Sanyan did not rush him and waited patiently.

"I know!"

Suddenly, a child behind him spoke loudly. The woman on the side was so frightened that she quickly covered the child's mouth, "The child is young and immature. Please don't be angry, my lord."

Xu Sanyan smiled to reassure her, walked up to the child, took out a handful of broken silver, bent down and said kindly, "You know? Tell your brother, and he will give you all the money."

The child's eyes lit up. Although he was young, he also knew the importance of silver. He picked the largest silver from the middle and held it in his hand. "Zhao Gangdan picked up a small knife in Laowangou before. It's so beautiful. It's also beautiful." It shines. I wanted to borrow it for two days but he refused."

Xu Sanyan turned to look at the old village chief, "Where is Laowangou?"

The old village chief sighed, "Well, your Majesty doesn't know something. Laowangou is a sinkhole five miles to the south. It is said that the former general and the enemy fought there, and hundreds of thousands of people died. It’s a dangerous place and few people go there.”

Xu Sanyan touched the children's heads and thought to himself, these children were probably playing there out of boredom, and then accidentally picked up the knife. That thing was probably a rare item.

Xu Sanyan knelt down and looked at the child, "Do you know where the knife is?"

The child shook his head, "Wang Xiao and I also went to Zhao Gangdan's house to look for it, but couldn't find it."

Xu Sanyan smiled and nodded, certain in his heart that it seemed that the knife was very likely still in the village.

"That knife is an evil object. Whoever can hand it over will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

Xu Sanyan spoke loudly, and at the same time turned his head to look at the villagers, trying to get clues from their expressions.

But unfortunately, most people had panic expressions on their faces, and a few showed greed.

In the darkness, a young man at the back of the crowd pursed his lips, dismissing the thousand taels of gold promised by Xu Sanyan. With that treasure, he could get it for any amount of money.

A beautiful girl had also come before, and she came for the same purpose as this group of people, and she came for the knife. This further confirmed what he thought, that the knife was indeed a treasure.

However, the girl before was beautiful, but she was too stupid. She wandered around Laowangou for many days and found nothing.

The young man clenched his fists. This incident also sounded the alarm for him. When the group left, he had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise more and more people would come and they might dig him out.

Xu Sanyan sighed with a hint of disappointment, "To tell you the truth, that thing is what His Majesty the Emperor asked for by name. Whoever can hand it over will ensure that you will be rich and honorable for a lifetime and have descendants for thousands of years."

Xu Sanyan paused, then his expression changed and he said again, "If you don't hand over, I will have no choice but to do it myself. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!"

Xu Sanyan waved his palm fiercely, shattering the wall in front of him, the threat could not be more obvious.

The old village chief looked panicked, and all the villagers also looked frightened, and they all said, "Whoever took that evil thing, please hand it over to the adults as soon as possible."

"Yes, that's what the emperor wants. Hand it over quickly."

The gang behind them all looked at each other, since when did they help the emperor?

But no one dared to dismantle Xu Sanyan.

Seeing that there was still no movement, Xu Sanyan asked again, "Who first discovered that Zhao Laosan and his family were dead?"

As soon as these words came out, the boy at the back turned pale, and his heart suddenly trembled. This man was much smarter than the pretty girl, and he moved his footsteps gently and was about to run out.

Just then, the village chief spoke up, "The boy from the Fang family, right?"

Someone on the side echoed, "Yes, it's the boy from the Fang family. He has the best relationship with Zhao Laosan's family and often visits them."

The boy knew that he could no longer hide, so he ran away at a very fast speed, comparable to the perfection of refining essence.

Xu Sanyan tapped his feet lightly, jumped up, and chased the boy, saying at the same time, "Watch them, no one is allowed to leave."

"Yes!"

The two rushed into the deep night one after the other. Xu Sanyan suddenly exerted force again, and his speed increased again, and he came in front of the boy in an instant.

"Why are you running?" Xu Sanyan suppressed his excitement, and the strange object was probably in his hands.

The boy's face was in a panic, but he still pretended to be calm, "I... I remembered that there was rice cooking in my pot."

Xu Sanyan was stunned, then laughed, "Good excuse, hand over the things, the previous promise still counts."

The boy still wanted to get away with it, "I don't know what the king wants..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Sanyan was like a ghost, and slapped him on the shoulder. There was a muffled "bang" sound, and the boy retreated five or six steps, fell to the ground with unstable feet, and supported the ground with his arms.

Xu Sanyan's pupils dilated, feeling incredible.

Just now, he was aiming to cripple him with this palm, carrying a stream of internal energy. Even if Song Zhu's internal energy was at the initial stage of cultivation, he would be unable to move after being hit by his palm, but this kid seemed to be fine?
