Chapter 331 Caught!
Chapter 331 Caught!
Lei Chu felt very uncomfortable when he saw the tragic scene in front of him.
If we had previously judged that it was done by a human, we could not be completely sure of it. But now, we can be completely sure that it was done by a human, because Lei Chu felt a very clear residual true energy here.
This situation means that some cultivators came here to practice evil skills and use them to give birth to girls.
Lei Chu walked towards the bodies of several women, wanting to take them all back. After all, for the people in the village, it was very important for their souls to return to their hometowns and be buried in peace.
But just as he was about to do so, Lei Chu suddenly thought that he should not do this, at least not at this stage.
The reason why the village keeps being murdered is because there is an evil cultivator who uses the village as a storage depot. If the evil cultivator is not found and killed, the tragedy here will continue to occur.
If we want to find the evil cultivator, we must not alert him. The four women were killed here, which means that the evil cultivator is not someone who moves around erratically. So we must not destroy the scene, otherwise the next time the evil cultivator comes, he will be alert.
In that case, I will stay in this village for a few more days, conceal my own breath, and then wait outside. When the evil cultivator appears again, I will capture and kill him!
So Lei Chu did not take the bodies of these women back for the time being. He sighed and returned to the village first.
In the village, although the village chief had told everyone to go back home and rest, in fact, no one could sleep. They were always paying attention to the movements outside, watching to see if the immortal Lei Chu had returned. Therefore, when Lei Chu returned to the village, everyone basically knew about it.
After Lei Chu returned to the village, the first thing he did was to go straight to the village chief's house.
The village chief saw the immortal coming back and asked, "Master Immortal, you came back early, but did you find anything?"
"We found the bodies of those girls, four in total. If nothing unexpected happens, they are the four girls who went missing from this village and the neighboring village." Lei Chu told the truth.
"Master, you found the bodies of the children! That's great!" The village chief said happily, but soon he was confused. Why didn't the master bring back the bodies of the women? Well! It should be because it is not easy for one person to carry four bodies.
Thinking of this, the village chief asked hurriedly: "As expected of the Immortal Lord, with just one move, the progress is faster than those of us who have been busy for more than a year.
Um, where are the bodies of the four women? We can bring them back. I’m not afraid of you laughing at me, but people in our village still attach great importance to the return of souls to their hometowns.”
Lei Chu shook his head at this time: "We can't bring back the bodies of the four women yet. I have confirmed that the one who harmed the women is an immortal who has taken an evil path. We call this kind of guy an evil cultivator. If you want the village to be stable in the future, you must get rid of the evil cultivator, otherwise your village will continue to be threatened by death.
Apart from getting rid of the opponent, any other way of dealing with it is only a temporary solution. From what I have heard from you, the intervals between the evil immortal's attacks are getting shorter and shorter. It should be that something is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. If this is the case, it is estimated that it will not be long before he attacks again."
"Ah! What should we do then? Please, Immortal, give us a hand!" The village chief bowed to Lei Chuna anxiously.
Lei Chu accepted the salute and helped the village chief up. "Don't worry, old village chief. We righteous people will definitely punish such bastards who harm mortals. Tomorrow, I will pretend to go out to look for the murderer in front of all the villagers, but I will not really leave. I will lurk around the village and wait for the arrival of the monks. During this time, I need your help."
After listening to what Lei Chu said, the village chief finally put his heart at ease. When he heard that Lei Chu needed his help, he asked hurriedly: "What does the Immortal need my help with? As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best."
Lei Chuban recalled: "The girls who were killed were all unmarried women. It seems that the perpetrators probably targeted this type of women.
Because someone is missing, everyone is now taking very strict precautions, which is a good thing, but it is a bad thing for the arrest. The tighter they cover it up, the more difficult it will be for the person to do something.
If he can't make a move, he might target other villages. If he targets other villages, then my stay in this village is in vain, after all, I can't split myself.
So I need to track down the whereabouts of the person who is going to attack in our village. So I need some young girls in your village to lower their guard. Don't have too many of them, no more than three. I will pay special attention to them, so that when the other party comes, I will know and rescue them, and eliminate the evil cultivators!"
The village chief was embarrassed when he heard this. He knew that Lei Chu was talking about the good of the whole village, and he also knew that with the immortal around, there would be no problems with the children. But no one would be willing to use their daughters as bait.
The village chief has only sons and no daughters, otherwise he would have asked his daughter to do this. In this case, this matter would be difficult to handle.
However, no matter how difficult it is, it is already very rare that the immortal is willing to help them. Just as the immortal said, if the "root" is not removed, the damage they will suffer in the end will only be greater.
Therefore, this must be done! So he gritted his teeth and agreed to it.
Lei Chu naturally knew the pressure the village chief was under at this time, but he could only make a promise and guarantee that no one in the village would be hurt.
Second day
Under the gaze of many villagers, Lei Chu told them what he was going to do next and left the village.
Except for the village chief, no one else in the village knows the specific inside story, so some people now think it is a good thing that an immortal will go out and solve the problem personally, and the danger will definitely be eliminated.
Another group of people thought that it was a good thing for the immortal to leave to look for the evil cultivator, but what if the evil cultivator suddenly attacked when the immortal left?
But no matter what these villagers think, they can't change it now.
The village chief is different from the villagers. He is the one who knows the next plan, so he begins to use various methods to lower everyone's vigilance in the village.
Three days passed like this.
Lei Chu waited outside for three days.
Nothing happened during these three days, everything was normal, as if nothing had happened before, and it was so quiet that it seemed as if the evil cultivator had already left this place and would never come back.
Late that night, Lei Chu hid in a relatively secluded grove outside the village. He meditated and practiced as usual, and kept some of his attention watching the village.
At this moment, Lei Chu suddenly sensed a rather subtle pressure of true Qi in front of him. Although this pressure of true Qi was well concealed, Lei Chu was a cultivator after all, and was still very sensitive to these things.
Therefore, he became alert all of a sudden, stopped practicing, opened his eyes, lowered his breath, and felt it carefully.
As expected, I could sense the presence of true energy. It was indeed a cultivator. This cultivator's cultivation level didn't seem very strong. It was probably not much different from mine, maybe a little stronger than me, but not much stronger.
And I don’t know if it was due to Lei Chu’s personal subjective emotions, but the fluctuations of true energy he released from this cultivator gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
Lei Chu hurried out of the forest and saw from a distance a young second-level cultivator in a red Taoist robe running towards the village.
At this time, Lei Chu was still quite far away from the other party. He knew that someone was going to be captured, so he attached his true energy to his legs and ran forward faster.
After the monk in front entered the village, he came out not long after. He was carrying a fainted woman on his shoulders and ran outside.
At this time, Lei Chu had reached a position where he could speed up the pursuit. He took off the large ring knife on his back, and his true energy gushed out, flowing along the handle of the knife and instantly covering the entire blade.
He carried the broadsword on his shoulder, getting into the ready position for swordplay, and while performing light skills with his feet, blending them with his true Qi, his speed suddenly increased dramatically!
He held up a large knife and shouted at the evil cultivator who resisted the woman: "Where did this evil demon come from! Put him down or you will die!"
The voice was as loud as thunder, as if a bell hanging in the sky was struck, and it spread throughout the village in an instant.
After hearing this roar, the whole village was awakened. Through the windows of every house, lights could be seen, and it was obvious that fires were lit.
The evil cultivator who was carrying the woman outside was also startled by the shouting, and his body involuntarily paused.
Moreover, he felt the pressure of true energy from behind, which meant that a cultivator was coming. At this moment, the evil cultivator looked very flustered, and he looked like a child who had done something wrong and wanted to hide.
However, his panicked expression was very short-lived. Almost as soon as this feeling came out, it disappeared in an instant. Instead, it was replaced by a very fierce face. The difference between the expression before and after was so great that it was like two different people.
The woman who was originally in a coma was awakened by the thunder-like sound of Lei Chu. After seeing the environment around her, she suddenly became anxious and yelled at the evil cultivator.
The evil cultivator was in a very rage because his good deeds were interrupted. When he heard the woman yelling again, he immediately felt that it was very noisy. He had no sympathy for her at all and slapped the woman with a palm with murderous intent, obviously wanting to kill her!
However, since Lei Chu dared to shout and alert the evil cultivator, he was naturally capable of protecting the woman. Lei Chu had already rushed to this position, and the sprint distance was enough.
He swung out his sword and slashed it sideways, chopping off the monk's head, a move that would surely save the enemy!
As expected, the evil cultivator turned his attack from the woman to the sword and shrank his body downwards.
With a loud "clang" sound, Lei Chu's sword was knocked off course, and the evil cultivator's palm was also shaken away for a certain distance.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lei Chu landed on the ground with both feet, and with a direct burst of attack, he rescued the woman carried by the evil cultivator.
The evil cultivator's hands were empty, and he subconsciously tried to grab the woman, but at this time Lei Chu turned around and kicked back, hitting the evil cultivator in the chest in the air. This time, the two sides were separated by a certain distance.
Lei Chu took two steps back while holding the woman. He turned around and put the woman on the ground. He held the knife in both hands and blocked the woman: "You retreat quickly!"
The woman was still in a panic, but after hearing Lei Chu's words, she regained some of her sanity. After seeing that it was the immortal who came to the village, she felt much calmer. After she regained her composure, she hurried to a safe place at the back.
At this time, the evil cultivator and Lei Chu were in a state of confrontation.
The evil cultivator is now extremely angry. His good fortune has been ruined by this guy who suddenly appeared. One can imagine how bad he feels.
Lei Chu looked at the evil cultivator in front of him with anger in his heart. The other party was an evil cultivator who sacrificed mortals to practice his evil skills. This kind of thing was completely unacceptable to a righteous cultivator like Lei Chu who was full of sense of justice.
When the two men were confronting each other, Lei Chu finally saw the other person's specific appearance clearly.
The other person is tall and fat, with slender limbs, giving a feeling of being of medium thickness and thin.
The opponent had a ferocious face, with piles of fat on his face and a not-so-obvious black and red evil aura on his forehead, which was a mark of having killed too many ordinary people.
There were some special patterns on the other person's red Taoist robe, which was obviously the clothing of a sect, but Lei Chu didn't know which sect it was.
Lei Chu didn't know much about this place and didn't know what this local sect was. It might be a powerful local sect, or it might be a small local sect.
However, no matter whether the other party is a large sect or a small sect, since this evil cultivator has practiced evil skills and killed mortals, I will definitely stand up!
The evil cultivator's cultivation is slightly stronger than Lei Chu's, but the gap is not that big.
"Where did this wild cultivator come from? How dare he ruin your grandfather's good deeds!" The evil cultivator was extremely angry, his eyes were wide open, and his voice was a little sharp, which was obviously caused by being too angry.
"A wild cultivator." Lei Chu snorted coldly, "No matter how wild I am, I am still a righteous cultivator. I cannot be compared to an evil cultivator like you. Assholes like you who harm lives deserve to be killed by everyone. Stop talking nonsense and let me kill you!"
After saying that, Lei Chu didn't give the other party any chance to react. He took a step forward, chased after the other party with a knife and chopped him hard!
The evil cultivator was startled by this cultivator again, but was soon followed by anger. His true energy surged, and his limbs were attached to the true energy as he rushed forward.
For a while, the sounds of "ding ding dang dang" rang out one after another. Although the evil cultivator was stronger than Lei Chu, he was unarmed while Lei Chu was attacking with weapons.
The evil cultivator dodged and turned, constantly using his hands to passively attack the sides of the edge of Lei Chu's sword, not daring to face the blade head-on.
