The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

黄老喜欢喝酒，黄花楼的梨花酿，他最喜欢。

Li Qing smiled, "Alright, I'll remember that."

...

The Cao Yun Mansion of the Li family is located on Bao Street in Jade City, where most of the residents are officials and dignitaries of Jade City.

In broad daylight, Li Qing quietly arrived at this street.

Both sides of the street were lined with grand mansions, with their gates tightly closed and few people walking around.

Li Qing arrived at the Cao Yun Mansion, where the gate was already damaged, and everything inside appeared pitch black.

It was all burnt.

Li Qing walked in a few steps, silently observing.

He possessed the Clarity of Six Senses, a passive physical power that allowed him to easily perceive any movement within a radius of three zhang.

"According to the records, most of the crying occurs at night."

"It's usually safe during the day."

"So, let's take a look at the environment here first."

Li Qing was very careful. As his first task, he didn't want to make any mistakes.

With the summoning card in his left hand, he already knew that this thing was probably a Law Weapon.

A Law Weapon that could directly attack the spirit and soul, among Law Weapons, could be considered Supreme Grade.

"I wonder what the old man I met last time was," he thought of the mysterious disappearance of the old man.

The fleeting battle of the Flood Dragon in the sky left him pensive.

This world does have demons, just like those who absorb Essence Qi for cultivation, they also have their own heritage.

Li Qing carefully circled the ruins of the mansion, which took about half an hour.

The mansion was divided into a front courtyard and a back courtyard.

The front courtyard was mainly for receiving guests, while the back courtyard was where the women and the master lived.

There were at least seven or eight rooms inside and outside, and in the back courtyard, there was a small building and a small pond.

Most of these houses were in ruins, with almost all the wooden structures burned.

After looking at the general layout, Li Qing shook his head slightly.

"These people are really extravagant. A Sixth Grade official, and their life is so luxurious."

Thinking of the refugees he saw outside the city, Li Qing shook his head slightly.

Taking a deep breath, he turned and left.

The terrain survey was almost done, and next, he would see what happened at night.

...

Clang, clang, clang.

The sound of the night watchman's bell rang out in the night.

It was already midnight, and almost everyone had gone to sleep.

Li Qing, dressed in night clothes, with a waist badge on his left side and a hundred-forged steel sword on his right, silently approached the gate of the Cao Yun Mansion like a ghost, shrouded in the darkness of the night.

A hint of contemplation appeared on his face as he stood outside without entering.

At this point, he had already dispelled the Lunar Shadow Art and stood in the shadow in front of the mansion gate.

He was like a cold door god, quietly waiting.

Time passed by, and the sound of crying did not happen every day.

Sometimes it would appear, sometimes there would be no trace of it, it was a matter of luck.

After about half an hour, there was suddenly a strange crying coming from the mansion across the street.

"Wu wu wu"

"Wu wu wu... wu wu"

...

The voice was low and soft, a woman's voice.

Li Qing gripped the handle of the hundred-forged steel sword with his right hand, his expression slightly serious.

"So it appeared so quickly."

The Lunar Shadow Art quietly activated, enveloping his entire person in shadow.

He stepped towards the opposite side, and soon arrived at the gate.

Inside was pitch black, and the moonlight shone on the ground, faintly revealing some outlines.

With each step, the ghostly sound became clearer, constantly echoing in his ears.

His expression slightly hardened, Li Qing walked towards the inner courtyard, where the fire was most severe and where the bodies were found.

Halfway there, a strange breeze suddenly swept through the mansion.

In the next moment, a noisy commotion erupted.

"Miss, the young man who came to visit the master today is really handsome."

"He is quite handsome."

"Do you like him, Miss?"

"You talk too much, you deserve a beating."

...

The sounds of birds and women's chatter filled the air.

Li Qing looked in the direction of the voices.

A group of people appeared in his line of sight.

At this point, he was standing on a small path leading to the inner courtyard.

At the end of the path was an open door, and there were several graceful figures inside.

Two maids in green were surrounding a woman in white.

Li Qing silently walked over. The woman in white was beautiful, with fair skin, delicate features, and an air of literacy and elegance.

At this moment, the woman had a hint of a smile on her lips, and there seemed to be a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Her cheeks were slightly rosy, and she playfully scolded the two maids, with a hint of anticipation.

"Ah, what are you going to do?"

"Help, ah..."

...

The harmonious and beautiful scene in the courtyard was suddenly shattered by a piercing scream.

The young girl and the maids looked bewildered.

The scream was so clear that it could be heard throughout the courtyard.

Bang.

A loud, violent sound rang out as the gate connecting the courtyard and the front yard was kicked open.

Several figures flew out from it.

After landing, they turned out to be bodies covered in bloodstains.

A young man with red eyes and a sinister aura walked in.

In his right hand, he held a heart, which he brought to his mouth and licked in a bizarre manner.

This horrifying scene caused the three women in the courtyard to collapse in fear.

The terrifying sight made their skirts all wet.

The fear penetrated their bones, and all three women were trembling.

The bodies had been emptied of their organs, and their dried-up forms were visible.

The sinister young man looked at the three women with a crazed smile. "Hehehe, three more beauties."

The woman in white was filled with despair as she recognized one of the figures.

It was her father, Li Guangliang, an official of the Cao Yun Mansion.

"Father, no," Dujuan cried blood, her mournful voice echoing.

The sinister man's face showed impatience. "Noisy."

In an instant, he appeared in front of the woman in white.

His palm emitted a bloody light and silently landed on the woman's head.

Plop.

The woman's eyes widened, her eyes turned white, and her body trembled, as red blood Essence Qi emerged from her body and was absorbed by the man's hand.

Her body visibly dried up and eventually turned into a dried corpse, silently falling to the ground.

At this point, the other women in the courtyard heard the sound and walked out in confusion.

What they saw was a scene straight out of hell.

The sinister man wore a mad smile. "Die, you three lambs."
