After passing through the cannon fodder villain in the book, the heroine confessed to me

Chapter 48 The real mastermind behind the scenes

The demon beast's execution brought Ningyuan Village back to its former state, and the men who had gone out to avoid misfortune also returned to the village one after another, and resumed the ordinary and happy things like farming, hunting, and collecting herbs.

And during this period, no villagers disappeared in the village again, which is normal, after all, the evil monsters that harm people have already been eliminated by the fairy elders, haven't they?

On the seventh night after Jiang Miao and others left, when all the villagers were fast asleep, a figure suddenly appeared in the village.

A black robe completely covered this person from head to toe, and the only exposed hand held a cloth bag about one foot long.Coupled with the occasional black air around him, it clearly showed his identity as a villain.

I saw this person looked around for a while, then walked towards a house with a clear goal, and whispered to himself while walking.

"Oh, Hanyue Immortal Sect, what a great name, I didn't expect the disciples to be so stupid, and they would be deceived by tricks. It's a pity that although they got rid of that annoying beast this time, they also exposed this place to the sight of these people. There is no choice but to harvest all these living souls, and then live in another place."

The old man's voice was not gloomy, and even a little kind, but what he said made people feel cold all over.

The figure stopped in front of a certain house, and was about to reach out to open the cloth bag, but a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart.In the next second, a stream of condensed sword energy shot towards his back at an astonishing speed.

Counted!
A monstrous black energy erupted from his body, blocking the sneak attack's sword energy, but the black-robed man was not happy in his heart.Because along with the sword energy, there was also a female voice that he was quite familiar with.

"Why do everyone think that my disciples of the Hanyue Immortal Sect are easy to deceive? That useless Guo Luming is the same, and so are you. What gave you such confidence? But I have to say, you are really cautious. You waited for seven days before doing it, and it really made me wait, village chief."

The man in black, no, the village chief suddenly looked up, and saw a beautiful shadow floating in the air, stepping on a jade plate, who else could it be if it wasn't Jiang Miao?
"What a powerful girl, but I'm curious, where did I show my flaws that made you doubt me?"

Raising his hand, he lifted off the black robe on top of his head, revealing the expressionless face of the village chief.Against the backdrop of this attire, the whole person is completely no longer the kindness of the past.

The village chief seemed to be chatting, but he was actually vigilant about his surroundings. This girl has accomplices, especially that brat who always has a cold face. He is very powerful and difficult to deal with.

Jiang Miao didn't seem to notice the village chief's vigilance, and slowly landed on the ground, looking at him with a smile.

"Suspect you? No, this statement is not accurate. It should be said that I never believed you from the very beginning. It's just that I thought you were just hiding something, and I didn't think that you were the mastermind behind it."

"Oh? Then what made you see through my concealment?"

Jiang Miao took a few steps forward, stopped at a distance that was not too far away, but would not irritate the village chief, and then continued.

"The matter of Jinghong Sword, is it your fault?"

The village chief nodded when he heard the words, then sighed, and said regretfully: "Yes, I didn't realize the strength of that stinky boy at the beginning, and thought you were the team leader. I think, although I left Lu Ming's move to help me get rid of the crime, there are some traces after all. It would be much easier if I could just let you die at the hands of the fire crow."

"If I die here, my fellow sect will definitely report this matter to the sect. Doesn't it affect you?"

When the village chief heard this, a sneer appeared on his face.

"It seems that although you are smart, you don't understand people's hearts. You and that surnamed Tang don't deal with each other, and your fellow disciples are also aware of this.

If you die here suddenly, she must be the first person to be suspected. Even if the elders of your sect come over, they will only extinguish the fire crow, and then bring the other disciples back for questioning.What does all this have to do with me, a mortal with no power to restrain a chicken? "

"So that's the case, unfortunately, you underestimated the strength of senior brother."

When mentioning senior brother, Jiang Miao subconsciously showed pride, and then quickly retracted it.

"The last question, you were able to hide from our detection, and even tampered with my saber under my nose. All of this should not be due to your own strength, but because of this bag in your hand, right? Is it convenient for you to tell me?"

"To be honest, it's not very convenient."

This time, the village head was no longer as eager to answer questions as before, and his attitude suddenly became tough.

"I was worried about your fellow disciples just now, especially your senior brother who was ambushing in secret, that's why I talked to you for so long. Of course, taking advantage of this time, I also made some preparations. If you don't want the villagers in this village to die unexpectedly, it's best not to block me."

The village chief raised the cloth bag in his hand with a smirk, and gestured to Jiang Miao.

"There are 120 innocent souls in my soul-calling bag. Just now, I have secretly used my blood energy to help them upgrade to Lihun. Immortal Jiang is so powerful that a mere Lihun can't hurt you, but these villagers...Of course, I don't want to casually throw these treasures out, so everyone take a step back, how about?"

Jiang Miao put away her smile, a deep disgust appeared on her face.

"Imprison living souls, turn them into tools that only know how to kill, do such a thing, and still threaten me with a proud face? A beast like you, living in this world will only pollute the air."

The village chief didn't get angry, but shook his head with a smile.

"Just be a beast. Anyway, you are not the first person to scold me like this, nor will you be the last. If you have that time to scold me, why not think about my proposal just now."

Compromising for a group of useless ants is the common stupidity of these righteous disciples.But it was precisely because of this stupidity that the village head could retreat safely, so he didn't mind Jiang Miao's insults to him.

Jiang Miao stared at him for a while, then sighed suddenly, and said something that the village chief found inexplicable.

"Did you know? Although the ghost baby likes living soul sacrifices, it loves the souls of children and young women more than young adults."

The village chief was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

But in the next second, as if he had thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he flew towards the outside of the village, but when his figure moved, he was forced to stop again.

Because, in front of him, a pitch-black sword stopped at his throat. The person holding the sword was also dressed in black, with an extremely indifferent face. He looked more like a villain than him, and it was Qin Yunshuo.

"The missing people in the village are all young and strong people, so we have long guessed that the soul collectors are not ghost infants and Guo Luming, but someone else. If this is the case, of course we have to take some targeted measures."

Jiang Miao smiled sweetly at Qin Yunshuo, and then looked at the village chief with a sarcasm.

"Now, it's the turn of the village chief. Guess what I just told you so much?"

Village Chief: "..." Thank you, I don't really want to know.
