Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 240 A Confusing Situation

Chapter 240 A Confusing Situation
Two days had passed since leaving Hua Village, and Xu Shen accompanied Asharuya throughout Weiju Village.

As expected, every village they passed through was massacred.

But the evidence they were looking for was nowhere to be found.

"Let's go back to the ancient capital first," Xu Shen sighed.

"Wait a moment," Asharuya took out a jade pendant and crushed it.

"This is?"

"Let's agree on a signal."

Asharuya said: "Wait, someone will come."

"How long do I need to wait?"

"If no one comes before sunset, we'll leave."

“We’re running low on gray garlic.”

The short man said in a low voice with a bitter face.

At the beginning, I was attracted by her beauty and the reward she offered was generous, so I was blinded by impulse and followed her.

What happened along the way?

Not to mention that I am on the verge of life and death every day.

The stinking garlic and the bloody and cruel corpses...

No normal person can accept this.

vomit!
He swore that if he could return alive, he would stay away from the ancient capital and never set foot in it again!
"It's okay. Yu Mian is here. It's okay."

Xu Shen glanced at Yu Mian’s umbrella, which was purple to black, and felt more confident.

Today's Ten Thousand Souls Banner is worthy of the name "Wan".

Although they are all slaves and general-level minions, and because they are undead creatures, their combat power is greatly reduced compared to other creatures of the same level.

But there are too many of them.

Are you afraid of the sea of corpses tactics?

Half an hour passed.

A lurking criminal wrapped in a cloud of black mist appeared cautiously.

"Did you find any evidence?"

He didn't waste his words and went straight to the point.

"No," Asharuya said, "Saran did it very cleanly."

"Then I'm sorry, I can't pay the balance."

"I understand the rules of the martial arts world," Asharuya said, "I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

"It will happen," said the man in black fog, and left without any reluctance.

Xu Shen was stunned: "I thought you were here for humanitarian assistance, but I didn't expect you to be an intelligence dealer?"

"Nonsense, do you think this Saint is doing charity?"

Asharuya raised her chin proudly.

"Is this the reason why you tricked us into following you here?" Xu Shen's expression gradually turned unfriendly.

"How can you interfere with what I do?"

"Shorty man, let's go back to the ancient capital now," Xu Shen pulled Yu Mian up and said, "Anyway, she won't allow us to say anything, so she must have her own way back."

"What about us?" asked Ali Asin.

“Go ask your master who doesn’t allow any interference,” Xu Shen rolled his eyes and pretended to leave.

"Hey, hey, don't do that." Asharuya immediately chased after him with a smile: "Don't worry, the reward you deserve will not be less."

"A light soul seed, one that has a domain, and a very strong domain at that."

When it came to killing people, Xu Shen showed no mercy.

"Why don't you go and grab it?!"

"Yumian, let's go."

"No, we can discuss it."

"There are also Mind Stones. Bring a few of them as well."

"Forget it, you guys go away, I can't afford it."

Asharuya rolled her eyes immediately and sat down on a dead log at the entrance of the village.

She really didn't believe that this guy could just leave her here and not care about her.

Sure enough, Xu Shen soon came up again.

However, the words that came out of that mouth made her extremely unhappy to hear.

"Look at all the life and death I've gone through on this journey. Is this too much to ask for?"

"You are raising the price and have no moral principles," Asharuya snorted, "You despicable Shenzhou people!"

"It's not the first day you've known me," Xu Shen said nonchalantly, "You must have a large intelligence network behind you to be able to reach out to Saran. If you can't afford it, you can just take some of the intelligence you know."

"Anything like secret methods that can enhance undead magic, rare plant seeds, the light soul seeds I just mentioned, and other relatively rare resources such as mind stones will do. Or things like Star Sea Sky Veins, Elemental Sky Seeds, Earth Cores, and the Six Divine Eyes, I'm not picky."

Xu Shen counted on his fingers and his words became more and more outrageous.

Asharuya stared at Xu Shen without blinking. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with your face?"

"I just want to see how thick your skin is."

"Huh, each other."

……

The man in black fog left in a hurry, but unexpectedly, he met a middle-aged man in a black robe.

"It's you?!"

Even though the black fog man's face was blurred, one could still see his excited and shocked expression.

"It's me," the man in black robe said, "Why didn't you listen to me? If I hadn't followed that boy all the way here, I might not have found you."

The Black Mist Man was silent for a moment and then said, "The Black Church massacred the village for the water from the Kun Well."

"I know."

"You know?" The Black Mist Man said in surprise, "It seems that you know as much as I do."

"So, you are useless, go back."

"No, I won't go back." The man in black fog shook his head firmly.

"Oh," the man in black robe said without saying much.

"What are you going to do..."

The man in black fog stared at the man in black robe vigilantly, but before he could finish his words, he fell limply to the ground.

The man in black robe carried him on his back, and with a flash of silver light, he disappeared into the desolate and empty land.

……

On the way back, everyone went at full speed without any delay and reached Hua Village in just one day.

But the tragic situation in the village shocked everyone.

Hundreds of corpses were scattered on the ground, and there was not a single survivor.

It looked like they were all killed in one blow, and died suddenly.

Only one person, a college student named Hong Jun, knelt humbly on the ground until his death, with flattery and humility written all over his face.

Xu Shen angrily smashed a thatched hut to pieces.

The people of the Black Church are so disregarding of human life that it is intolerable to heaven and earth!
After a short rest, they buried these poor and innocent villagers and then set off on their journey home.

As soon as we left Hua Village, we saw a group of people walking towards us, exhausted.

Xu Shen and others looked at each other.

How could there be other people in this dangerous place?

There were about twenty people in this group, who claimed to be from Yangyang Village. The leader was Fang Gu, the village chief of Yangyang Village.

He said that the water in the Kunjing in their village had inexplicably dried up, and they had to risk going to Hua Village for help.

This group of people brought their families with them, even without any pots, pans, or utensils, so their pace was much slower. It only took two days to get from Yangyang Village to Hua Village, but it took them nearly five days to get here.

Ding Yumian can prove that they are not lying.

"So you burned down Yangyang Village yourselves?"

Fang Gu nodded helplessly and said, "Some old people in the village don't want to leave, but without the water from Kunjing, we will all be killed by the undead within a month. In order to force them to leave, I asked someone to secretly burn down the house."

Xu Shen was shocked. This village chief was also a ruthless person.

After thinking for a while, he told Fang Gu that Hua Village had been massacred by the Black Church, and if they were willing, he could take them back to the ancient capital.

Fang Gu was horrified when he heard this. He was so incredulous that he went to Hua Village to take a look around and then came back in a daze.

In the end, he agreed to follow Xu Shen back to the ancient capital.

After all, compared to Huacun, Gudu should be a better choice.

……

ancient capital.

Ling Xi flipped through the documents and asked casually, "Have you dealt with everything?"

"It's taken care of."

There was no one else in the room except her, but there was a response.

“I don’t hope there will be a next time.”

The shadow by the window trembled slightly and then disappeared.

Ling Xi sighed softly and rubbed his swollen temple.

There are dark clouds outside the window.
