Chapter 1576  Hypocrisy

Early the next morning, a scream exploded in front of Tianxiang Tower.

Xiao Mian heard it and went to find the sound.

Right in front of Tianxiang Tower, a shrunken female corpse lay on the spot.

The Jindan female cultivator who ignored Xiao Mian yesterday was trembling.

It stands to reason that a Jindan female cultivator, even if she is not good at fighting, must have seen dead people - in fact, the people in Tianxiang Tower were tortured badly!

The nine-story Tianxiang Tower was shrouded in a shadow.

Even Le Lingrou could not hold on any longer!

With a sigh, Xiao Mian sent a soul-calming Buddha light towards the Jindan female cultivator.

At this time, Le Lingrou and others also came together.

When they first saw the female corpse, although everyone was prepared, they also looked ugly.

It was Xiao Mian who came to the female corpse and smelled a faint fragrance.

With a wave of his sleeves, Xiao Mian put the female corpse into his sleeves and brought it into Tianxiang Tower.

In a secret room in Tianxiang Tower, Xiao Mian released the female corpse.

"Is this a cultivator from Tianxiang Tower?"

"This... shouldn't be!" It was Le Lingrou, who calmed down and said in a gentle voice: "I have been very careful these days. I count the number of people every morning and evening. For safety reasons, I let them work in pairs and act together! No cultivators are missing in Tianxiang Tower - this person is not from Tianxiang Tower!"

Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this.

Could it be that the murderer sent him to the wrong place?

But at this moment, Mu Lingyan's expression moved and she walked forward.

Mu Lingyan grabbed the left foot of the female corpse, took off the embroidered shoe on her foot, observed it carefully, and then grabbed the right foot and did the same.

For a long time, Mu Lingyan's expression became more and more ugly.

Even Le Lingrou seemed to have discovered something...

"This... Is this Qi Lingwei!?"

"It should be correct!" After a pause, Mu Lingyan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid only she would have six fingers on both hands and feet!"

As soon as Mu Lingyan said this, Xiao Mian glanced around.

Sure enough, the female corpse had six fingers on both hands and feet.

Qi Lingwei?

"May I ask Brother Le! What are the names of the three female cultivators who were killed before?"

"This... The first is Lu Lingfei, the second is Hua Lingying, and the third is Bai Lingsu!"

"The fourth is Qi Lingwei!"

"Brother Xiao, you mean..."

"Lingxiu Palace!"

After spitting out these three words, Xiao Mian kept silent.

Although the three victims before were all cultivators from Tianxiang Tower, this was not the reason for their deaths, because Qi Lingwei was not a cultivator from Tianxiang Tower.

What they have in common is that they are all from the Ling generation!

Female cultivators of the Ling generation all come from Lingxiu Palace!

In other words, the murderer's target is not Tianxiang Tower, but Lingxiu Palace!

However, long before the outbreak of the spiritual war, the entire Lingxiu Palace disappeared.

Even the Palace Master of Lingxiu Palace, Zhong Lingxiu, also disappeared.

Who on earth, after all the changes in the world, still came to trouble Lingxiu Palace?

It is hard to figure out, and it is hard to understand!

"Le Daoyou! Please go to Wangxian City and even the entire Dongwu Province to find out: Have there been similar cases in various places, and whether the victims are female cultivators of the Ling generation!"

"Xiao Daoyou! You are suspicious..."

"I suspect: things are not that simple!"

The Lingxiu Palace was the fourth largest force in Dongwu Province after the Three Immortals of the East China Sea. Because the population of Ziyue Valley was sparse, Lingxiu Palace came from behind.

The female cultivators of Lingxiu Palace almost accounted for the vast majority of female cultivators in Dongwu Province.

There is a joke in Dongwu Province - nine out of ten women are Lingxiu!

After Lingxiu Palace fell silent, most of the female cultivators affiliated with Lingxiu Palace were incorporated by Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and established the so-called Tianxiang Tower.

But there were also many people like Qi Lingwei who did not join Tianxiang Tower.

These female cultivators were scattered all over Dongwuzhou.

If the other party was targeting Lingxiu Palace, there would be more than four victims.

Sure enough, Tianxianglou's investigation confirmed Xiao Mian's suspicion.

There were as many as a hundred missing female cultivators in the entire Dongwuzhou.

Except for some who disappeared for other reasons, about 90% of these more than a hundred female cultivators had one thing in common - they were female cultivators of the Ling generation affiliated with Lingxiu Palace!

Even Xiao Mian was shocked when he got this news.

Obviously, a dark hand was reaching out to the old members of Lingxiu Palace.

With a wink to Le Lingrou, Xiao Mian asked Le Lingrou to send everyone away.

Soon, only Xiao Mian and Le Lingrou were left in the secret room.

Of course, there was also the corpse of Qi Lingwei...

In front of Le Lingrou, Xiao Mian condensed his own Sanqing Divine Realm.

The Spirit-Seeing Eyes operated silently.

Xiao Mian wanted to see - who exactly killed Qi Lingwei!

Time went back, like a broken mirror reunited.

Qi Lingwei's shrunken body gradually became lively and full.

Finally, Qi Lingwei came back to life, bringing out a vivid and erotic picture.

A big bed, a man, but as many as ten female cultivators!

Qi Lingwei was just one of them.

These female cultivators, naked and crazy, rushed to the male cultivator one after another, seeking opportunities for adultery.

After intercourse, they died!

Xiao Mian didn't care about these details, he only cared about who the man was!

After a closer look, Xiao Mian was shocked.

Ou Qingtan!

This man who had sex with ten women in a row turned out to be - Ou Qingtan!

Xiao Mian still remembered Ou Qingtan clearly.

Back then, Ou Qingtan was just an unknown person in Xishuzhou. It was only thanks to the protection of his grandfather Ou Haiyang that he was able to sneak into Zhongzhou.

Outside Yangguan, Ou Qingtan deceived Que'er and played with her feelings.

In Qin County, Ou Qingtan hooked up with Miss Wang Yun of the Wang family.

With Zulong in the middle, Ou Qingtan killed Li Motian and put the blame on Xiao Mian.

Of course, what Xiao Mian couldn't let go of the most was Ou Qingtan's attitude towards Ou Haiyang - Ou Haiyang was poisoned to death by Ou Qingtan!

After that, Ou Qingtan disappeared, but Gu Qingcheng suddenly appeared.

Xiao Mian always thought that there was a close connection between Ou Qingtan and Gu Qingcheng, but there was no evidence to prove it.

Later, Gu Qingcheng also disappeared...

After many years in Dongwuzhou, Xiao Mian actually met Ou Qingtan again!

Is this fate or a ghost?

Putting away the spirit-seeking eyes, Xiao Mian pondered in silence.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao! Do you have any clues?"

"There are some clues, but it's better than nothing!" Shaking his head, Xiao Mian asked, "What's the name of the Jindan maid who greeted the guests?"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, are you talking about Lingfu? Her last name is Guo!"

"Okay! I'll borrow her!"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao! Are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole? Lingfu's cultivation is low..."

"I just want her cultivation to be low! The four victims have another thing in common, the Jindan realm! I'm afraid the murderer's cultivation is not enough to fight against the Yuanying!"

"Okay! I'll talk to Lingfu!"

"This is not a discussion! This is an order!"

"...Yes!"

Nodding, Le Lingrou said goodbye and left.

After a long time, Le Lingrou took Guo Lingfu, who was pale, into the secret room.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian frowned slightly.

Guo Lingfu's face was pale, and she was absent-minded. She was not useful at all.

Not good at success, but more than failure!

That's it!

It is better for those who are capable to do more work!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian waved his hand and the Qingshen incarnation appeared in the secret room.

Regardless of the expressions of Le Lingrou and Guo Lingfu, Xiao Mian's mind moved.

The Qingshen incarnation swayed gracefully.

In just a moment, there was another one in the secret room - Guo Lingfu!

Le Lingrou was stunned, and even Guo Lingfu was stunned - this was clearly another her!

Xiao Mian, the initiator, was not satisfied.

The Qingshen incarnation had already achieved the Nascent Soul, but Guo Lingfu was only the Golden Core.

Fortunately, Xiao Mian had the Immortal Stone on him. With the ability to reverse the spirit and return to the origin, Xiao Mian put the Nascent Soul in the body of the Qingshen into the Immortal Stone space, and then condensed a Golden Core and stuffed it into the body of the Qingshen. This Golden Core was also copied from Guo Lingfu's Golden Core.

Such a shocking method, not to mention Guo Lingfu, even Le Lingrou was unaware of it.

In this way, the Green God incarnation is like Guo Lingfu from inside to outside.

But it is only similar in appearance, not in spirit.

"Fellow Daoist Guo! Next, I need your help!"

"Xiao... Senior Xiao! Please speak frankly!"

At this time, even if Guo Lingfu is slow, she understands Xiao Mian's plan.

Xiao Mian intends to use the Green God incarnation to replace the dead.

Guo Lingfu, of course, is more than happy to accept it!

But Xiao Mian's request made Guo Lingfu dare not agree.

"In order to make it realistic, Xiao wants to borrow something from you!"

"What is it?"

"Memory!"

"This... Senior Sister Le, save me!"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao! Isn't this inappropriate?" After hearing what Xiao Mian said, Guo Lingfu and Le Lingrou's faces changed drastically. Le Lingrou even protected Guo Lingfu and advised kindly: "Fellow Daoist Xiao! The secret technique of soul searching is a taboo in cultivation! Let's think of another way!"

"Who said to search her soul?"

It was Xiao Mian, who was confused.

"I just need to copy a copy of her memory, I don't need to search her soul!"

"This... Did Fellow Daoist Xiao lie to me?"

"Fellow Daoist Le! If you don't even have this little trust, I won't interfere! Let Tianxianglou solve your own problems!"

After saying that, Xiao Mian turned around and wanted to leave.

Le Lingrou hurriedly called Xiao Mian and winked at Guo Lingfu.

Although Guo Lingfu was unwilling, she had no choice.

At that moment, Xiao Mian came to Guo Lingfu and let go.

With Xiao Mian's current spiritual attainments, it would be easy to obtain Guo Lingfu's memory, provided that he could not cause any harm to Guo Lingfu.

Thankfully, there is a small magical power in the "Soul Separation Method".

It is called - Dream Returning Mantra!

Back in the Xiaoyao Ocean of the East China Sea, Xiao Mian used the Dream Returning Mantra to deal with a disciple of the Lingxiu Palace - Qi Lingzhu!

Due to his cultivation level, Xiao Mian had to use the treasures of the three sects to assist him that day.

Now, the three treasures have been refined by Xiao Mian and incorporated into his body.

With his strength greatly increased, Xiao Mian can lift heavy objects with ease.

With a wave of his hand, Guo Lingfu in front of Xiao Mian fell into a dream.

This dream is not a simple dream, but full of memories.

Through the dream spell, Xiao Mian copied Guo Lingfu's memory.

It was only a moment before and after, Xiao Mian snapped his fingers, and Guo Lingfu woke up from her dream.

Looking at Guo Lingfu with a shocked face, Xiao Mian's expression was quite strange.

Shaking his head, Xiao Mian went straight to the Qingshen incarnation.

With a thought, Guo Lingfu's memory was transmitted to the Qingshen incarnation.

The Qingshen incarnation, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened a pair of bright eyes.

The bright eyes were like water, reflecting a divine light.

"Sister Le! I am here to greet you! At nightfall yesterday, a customer came to buy a primary magic weapon, but it has not been recorded yet. Please check it carefully!"

"This..."

Le Lingrou was stunned when she heard this, and Guo Lingfu was pale when she heard this.

In the whole world, only Guo Lingfu knew about this matter!

In other words, the incarnation standing in front of her now not only has the same appearance as her, but also has the same memory as her!

From the inside out, that is another one - her!

This fear from the depths of the soul made Guo Lingfu speechless.

Senior Xiao!

Who exactly is this Senior Xiao! ?

"Daoyou Xiao's methods are becoming more and more unfathomable..."

"Daoyou Le! In order to avoid accidents, please ask Daoyou Guo to retreat in this secret room for a while - wait for me to come back and make a decision!"

"Okay! Thank you Daoyou Xiao!"

Nodding, Xiao Mian led the Qingshen incarnation out of the secret room.

Along the way, he met some Tianxianglou monks, who saluted Xiao Mian and nodded to the Qingshen incarnation - in their eyes, that was Guo Lingfu!

Besides, the Qingshen incarnation at this time is already Guo Lingfu.

Bringing Guo Lingfu to the gate of Tianxianglou, Xiao Mian nodded.

Guo Lingfu walked out of Tianxiang Tower first, and Xiao Mian changed into another appearance and followed her out of Tianxiang Tower.

If the other party was Ou Qingtan, he was an old acquaintance of Xiao Mian!

Don't be careless, Ou Qingtan will see him and run away!

From then on, Xiao Mian followed Guo Lingfu step by step.

Guo Lingfu, on the other hand, toured Wangxian City according to the past route in her memory.

The lights were on, and nothing was accomplished in a day.

Just when Guo Lingfu was about to return to Tianxiang Tower, a figure appeared in front of Guo Lingfu, blocking her way.

"Sister Fu! It's you! I was wondering why I didn't see you in Tianxiang Tower!"

"Tan Lang! I'm looking for you!"

Guo Lingfu was delighted when she saw the newcomer.

The person who appeared in front of Guo Lingfu was more than seven feet tall, tall and straight, handsome, with a wide nose, flying lips, and thin eyebrows that were slightly connected. His black hair was tied up with a white silk ribbon, and his fitted white gown was spotless. The corners were embroidered with a dark pattern of golden-threaded green-leafed Clivia.

This person was none other than Ou Qingtan!

When Xiao Mian copied Guo Lingfu's memory with the Dream Returning Mantra, he had already seen through this, so his expression when looking at Guo Lingfu would be a little strange.

Unexpectedly, Ou Qingtan was getting more and more cunning!

Guo Lingfu was obviously the target that Ou Qingtan had been aiming at for a long time!

"Sister Fu! Today I heard that there was another dried corpse outside Tianxiang Tower. I was worried about your safety and went to Tianxiang Tower to find you. Then I found out that you ran away!" Reaching out and stroking Guo Lingfu's cheek, Ou Qingtan said affectionately: "In this troubled time, why did you run away? If something unexpected happens, how can you let me survive alone?"

"Tan Lang! That's why I can't wait to see you!" Grabbing Ou Qingtan's right hand that was stroking her cheek, Guo Lingfu pleaded softly: "Tan Lang! I can't stay here for a moment! Let's go! Leave Wangxian City!"

"......, OK!" After a slight hesitation, Ou Qingtan agreed. He changed his tone: "But I still have some things to deal with in Wangxian City! So, sister Fu, wait for me for three days, and after three days, I will take you away from Wangxian City!"

"Really?"

"Sister Fu! When have I ever lied to you?" Pulling back his right hand, Ou Qingtan took out a sachet from his arms and handed it to Guo Lingfu: "This thing can calm your mind, you can carry it with you. Let it replace me and guard you, okay?"

"Tan Lang! You are so good to me..."

"If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well? Be good! You go back first!"

"Okay! I will listen to you!"

After accepting the sachet, the two of them said goodbye reluctantly.

Seeing Guo Lingfu walking towards Tianxiang Tower, Ou Qingtan smiled sinisterly.

At the same time, Xiao Mian, who was sneaking not far away, glanced at Ou Qingtan.

Ou Qingtan, Ou Qingtan!

His ability to be slick is getting better and better!

But this cultivation!

After not seeing Ou Qingtan for decades, he is still only at the Jindan cultivation level.

It is no wonder that the cultivation of the female cultivators who were killed is generally not high...

Now that he has met Xiao Mian, Ou Qingtan is destined to be cursed!

After finally catching Ou Qingtan, how could Xiao Mian let him run away?

After a chase, Xiao Mian followed Ou Qingtan into a house.

From the outside, the house looked ordinary.

Once inside, the whole house was full of mysteries.

Various concealment, warning formations and prohibitions were spread throughout the house.

Obviously, this is the nest where Ou Qingtan committed crimes!

Knowing that Ou Qingtan was going to do that evil thing again, Xiao Mian could no longer bear it and sneaked in, intending to execute Ou Qingtan on the spot.

The scene inside was just like what happened to Qi Lingwei...

A big bed, an Ou Qingtan, and ten naked female cultivators!

The whole house was set up with the Tiangang Disha Shenkan formation, and Xiao Mian suddenly appeared.

"Ou Qingtan! Look who I am!"

"You! Who are you! How dare you ruin my good deeds!"

Seeing that his good deeds were interrupted, Ou Qingtan glared at Xiao Mian.

Seeing that Ou Qingtan's expression did not seem to be false, Xiao Mian's heart moved.

"What? You don't know me?"

"Humph! Your Excellency is so ridiculous! You and I have never met, how can I know you?"

"..., is that so?"

With a change of expression, Xiao Mian has already made a move.

Stretching out his right hand and making his fingers into a sword, Xiao Mian casually pinched it, and a black butterfly as black as ink was pinched by Xiao Mian's fingertips, unable to move.

Communicating with the black butterfly, this is the secret communication technique of the Demon Sect!
