Listening to Oschin's introduction, Zhao Wuji immediately took out a short, dark brown hair from the small wooden box and examined it closely. Zhao Wuji admitted that Oschin had found a clue that he and Flander had overlooked; finding a large group of spirit beasts was much easier than finding one person.
Tang San and Zhao Wuji were observing the clue provided by Oschin, trying to analyze the specific type of spirit beast, while Oschin took out his phone. Just now, Dai Mubai had replied to Oschin's message. "
We've found accommodation in Hulan Motuo City. Here's the address. Fatty and the girls are home. Just go there when you get back.
Also, don't rush to the Spirit Hall. The Dean said there might be something fishy about this incident. Oscar and I were assigned by the Dean to go into the city to gather information. I'm currently in a teahouse and haven't had a chance to message you.
" —Dai Mubai "
It's alright. I was originally planning to have you go to a teahouse or tavern to listen to whether there was any news about evil spirit masters in Hulan Motuo City." "Perfect timing. Since the dean mentioned there might be something fishy going on, be careful not to be too deliberate when you're gathering information. Also, be careful not to be followed when you return to your lodgings." —Oschin "
Don't worry, the dean reminded me. I disguised myself before coming out. How's it going on your end? Have you found any valuable clues?
" —Dai Mubai "
Our investigation is almost finished. We've made quite a bit of progress. We'll share it with you when we get back." —Oschin
After finishing his conversation with Dai Mubai, Oschin saw that Zhao Wuji and Tang San were still talking, so he took out his control tablet and entered a page similar to a navigation map.
On this page, a small green dot was moving rapidly. If someone was familiar enough with the surrounding environment of this small village, they would notice that the area this small green dot was moving through was the large pine forest to the southwest of the village.
Looking at the direction and location of the small green dot, Oschin nodded slightly, thinking, "Cowen's work seems to be almost finished too. Once it returns, we can leave this place."
That's right, the small green dot represented Cowen's location. After discovering the evil spirit master's escape route, Oschin instructed Cowen to follow it. Although the evil spirit master had carefully eliminated any scent clues, tracking is never just about smell.
Every step leaves a trace, and leading a large group of flying spirit beasts through a dense pine forest, no matter how careful, would inevitably leave some small clues. As a hundred-year-old wind-attribute spirit beast capable of invisibility using a spirit tool, the intelligent Cowen was perfectly suited for this kind of tracking mission.
With Oschin having obtained the information he wanted, Zhao Wuji and Tang San's discussion also concluded.
"Xiao Ao, Xiao San and I have discussed it. Based on the information we have so far, the soul beast controlled by this evil soul master is most likely a small flying soul beast called a vampire bat.
This kind of soul beast has a characteristic: it can only hunt at night and must hide in places like caves where there is no sunlight during the day. If we really can't pinpoint the identity and location of that evil soul master, in the worst case, we may need to conduct a comprehensive search of the branch mountain range of the Pondis Mountains north of Hulan Motuo City. If it comes to that, we will have to use the method of amplifying the detection range of the soul tool you used in the temporary camp."
"Don't worry, Teacher Zhao. That method of amplifying the detection range of a soul tool is quite simple to use. However, based on my speculation, things shouldn't escalate to that extent. Think about the distance from Mount Pondis to here. For a soul master below the Soul Saint level, that's not a distance that can be covered in just one night.
I've already marked the locations of the other five villages where the incident occurred on the map. Based on the distribution of these villages, that evil soul master is very likely living in Hulan Motuo City. I think this is probably one of the reasons why Dean Flander didn't report the situation to the Spirit Hall immediately."
"Inside Hulan Motuo City? Is that possible?" Tang San was clearly finding it hard to accept Oschin's guess.
"Why not? The evil of evil spirit masters mainly lies in their use of methods that violate human morality and conscience to quickly increase their strength. But in normal times, the difference between them and ordinary spirit masters isn't so easy to discern. Okay
, let's discuss this issue after we meet up with the others. Cowen is back, we can go."
"Alright."
After confirming that nothing was left behind, the three of them and the dog activated their flying spirit tools and quickly flew towards Hulan Motuo City.
After entering the city, Zhao Wuji separated from Tang San and Oschin, presumably to find Flander and the others. Oschin, after communicating with Ma Hongjun and the others on his phone, directly took Tang San to the commercial street of Hulan Motuo City.
It was already lunchtime, and although their appetites had been affected, they still had to eat. As the commercial street with the largest flow of people in the city, restaurants during mealtimes are often the most well-informed places in the city. Oschin planned to use the effects of his spirit tool's pickup during lunch to see if he could find any useful clues. Five villages outside the city had been massacred by evil spirit masters, and Oschin didn't believe the people in the city wouldn't discuss this.
Forty minutes later, having finished his meal, Oschin paid the bill and left the restaurant with a thoughtful expression.
During that meal, Oschin, as expected, had obtained the information he wanted.
The first massacre outside Hulan Motuo City occurred two months ago. Since then, the Spirit Hall of Hulan Motuo City had received news of a village massacre approximately every five to six days. However, to date, neither the Spirit Hall nor the City Lord's Mansion had been able to find any information about the evil spirit masters responsible for this tragedy.
With the interval between massacres drawing near (the city received the news later than the actual events), many villages outside Hulan Motuo City were now in a state of panic, with able-bodied villagers rushing to the city.
Whether intentional or unintentional, a somewhat cryptic rumor circulated in Hulan Motuo City: "The Blood God has descended to earth, requiring human blood as a sacrifice. We should provide Him with ample blood on time; if humanity cannot meet His demands, He will take the offerings upon Himself."
Of course, the current situation couldn't be entirely blamed on the lack of effort from the Spirit Hall and the City Lord's Mansion investigators; the villages where the incidents occurred were located in extremely remote areas. By the time investigators received the news and went to investigate, the villagers had often been dead for two to three days. In such a long period, many clues had already disappeared with the passage of time.
Oschin learned that the Spirit Hall and the City Lord's Mansion's understanding of the evil spirit master was still at a very rudimentary stage, only knowing that the evil spirit master massacred villages because He needed human blood, and that the villagers died from excessive blood loss. Of
course, this news was of little significance to Oschin at the moment; it merely informed him of the official progress of the case investigation in Hulan Motuo City. What truly concerned Oschin, and which he pondered even while walking, was another piece of news that seemed unrelated to the case.
Three and a half months ago, a Soul King-level Diamond Soul Fighting Team named 'Blood Servant' arrived at the Hulan Motuo City Grand Soul Arena.
In just half a month, the Blood Servant Team challenged and defeated all six existing Soul King-level teams in the Grand Soul Arena, demonstrating their near-invincible combat power among their peers. The city lord, who happened to watch the Blood Servant Team's matches, took a liking to their talent and exceptionally recruited the entire Blood Servant Team into his personal guard.
According to information heard by Oschin, neither the commoners nor the nobles of Hulan Motuo City were entirely satisfied with the city lord's decision.
While the Blood Servant Team was undeniably strong, their fighting methods were far too brutal. The members of the six Soul King-level teams they defeated were either killed or maimed. The dead were essentially dismembered, and the maimed were missing limbs, effectively ending their prospects for advancement as Soul Masters. People were unwilling to see such a Soul Master team become a force for maintaining order in the city lord's mansion.
The Blood Servant Team's ruthless and domineering style has angered many teams that rely on Soul Battles in the Grand Soul Arena to earn cultivation resources. However, so far, no team has been able to teach the Blood Servant Team a lesson.
Faced with the cruel reality that defeat means the end of a Soul Master's career, the Soul King-level teams in the Hulan Motuo City Grand Soul Arena gave up.
Just like the Hall of Fame members in Las Vegas, the Soul King-level teams in the Grand Soul Arena acknowledged the Blood Servant Team's strength and status, but the Blood Servant Team had no more Soul Battles to fight.
Faced with this situation, Oschin felt slightly helpless. He wanted to observe the Blood Servant Team through Soul Battles.
"They arrived in Hulan Motuo City three and a half months ago, inexplicably joined the City Lord's Guard half a month later, and a month later, evil Soul Masters started massacring villages outside the city. Is this Blood Servant Team really unrelated to that evil Soul Master?
Also, the legend of the Blood God is also very intriguing to me."
