Amazing Phoenix Song

Chapter 42 Dark Magic
Yangping Town - a town only a hundred miles away from Ziwei City, because it is the only way to the capital, so this town is quite prosperous, and the population is not like ordinary towns.

This town, which should be very lively on weekdays, is now in extreme panic.Just overnight, the lives of hundreds of people in the town were lost for no apparent reason, and the whole town was immersed in great sorrow and fear.

When Nangong Xiaoxiao and Gong Lingche rushed to the entrance of Yangping Town, they saw almost no one on the street except for a few soldiers guarding the gate.

"See Your Highness the Second Prince!" Several soldiers at the door saw Gong Lingche and immediately saluted him respectfully.

These people were all members of the Royal Guard, so they were no strangers to Gong Lingche.His Royal Highness the Second Prince was extremely talented, and had been well-known in the entire Donglin Kingdom since he was a child. Therefore, after they saw Gong Lingche, their faces all showed excitement.

"Get up. How's the situation in the town?" Gong Lingche waved her hand, motioning for them to get up and answer.

The soldiers got up one after another, and the leader replied respectfully: "Your Highness, two hundred and three people died in Yangping Town last night. These people are all martial arts or spiritual cultivators. Now Lord Shangguan is leading people around Check, do you need a subordinate to take you there?"

Gong Lingche nodded, so the man turned around and walked towards the town, while Gong Lingche followed closely behind him.Nangong Xiaoxiao stood at the door without moving. She only knew the identity of this man after hearing the names of these soldiers just now.

It turned out that he was His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Donglin Kingdom. Nangong Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows as she looked at Gong Lingche's back.She really didn't expect that the other party's identity would be this, but even if he is the second prince, it has nothing to do with her. She will not change her attitude just because the other party is the prince.

"Not yet." Realizing that there was no one behind her, Gong Lingche stopped and looked back, only to find that Nangong Xiaoxiao was still standing at the door.

Nangong Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered slightly, and then she stepped forward.

"So you are the famous Second Prince." Walking to Gong Lingche's side, Nangong Xiaoxiao looked him up and down and said.

Hearing her words, Gong Lingche was slightly taken aback.Didn't she know her identity all along?He thought no one in the academy didn't know him.No wonder I keep arguing with him because I don't know my identity.Now that she knew her identity, Gong Lingche was quite curious about whether her attitude would change.

"I really don't see it." After looking him up and down, Nangong Xiaoxiao shook her head and continued.

He looks good and has a good temperament, but his temper is too bad.How can such a vulgar person be a prince who always says 'I--I'.Nangong Xiaoxiao thought suspiciously.

Gong Lingche saw her shaking her head for a while, with suspicion on her face, and immediately replied contemptuously: "That's because you don't have eyes. My highness is Yushu Lingfeng, handsome, elegant, and extraordinary. A yellow-haired girl like you who has not been weaned , how can you have such eyesight."

What?
When Nangong Xiaoxiao heard his proud words, she suddenly felt goosebumps growing on her skin.Although he is indeed good-looking, with a handsome face, a tall and straight figure, and a sense of being in the wind, but that is only when he does not speak.And does the word handsome and elegant have anything to do with him?People who open their mouths and shut their mouths are "Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu", and have something to do with being handsome and elegant.

Leaning at him with disdain, Nangong Xiaoxiao said contemptuously: "It seems that you are not only arrogant, but also quite narcissistic. The real handsome and elegant is not like you. Let people feel the gurgling of the clear spring, the purity and aloofness of the moonlight flowers, how can it be as vulgar as you."

Nangong Xiaoxiao glanced at him sideways, and couldn't help but think of Baili Qingjue's figure in her mind.The two adjectives handsome and elegant, noble and extraordinary should describe a person like him who was exiled from the immortal.Just standing there can inspire admiration.

Hearing Nangong Xiaoxiao's sarcasm, and seeing her intoxicated face, as if she was thinking about someone, Gong Lingche felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"How can there be such a person in the world, I think you are an idiot talking about dreams."

Nangong Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes at him, and said calmly, "That's because you are ignorant."

He is ignorant?What kind of person she has met is worthy of her evaluation.Thinking that she actually admired a man so much, Gong Lingche felt even more uncomfortable.

Just as they were about to ask, the soldiers leading the way suddenly stopped at the door of a big house. It turned out that they had already arrived at the mansion of the mayor of the town.

When the three of them entered the mansion, Gong Lingche and Nangong Xiaoxiao immediately saw that the courtyard was full of people.In addition to a dozen standing people, dozens of corpses lay on the ground.These corpses have no external injuries, but they look like mummies whose blood has been sucked out of their bodies, which is truly terrifying.

"Second Highness!" Sima Rui, who was talking to someone in the courtyard, saw Gong Lingche coming in, and immediately ran over to salute him.

Gong Lingche nodded at him, stepped closer to the corpses, observed them carefully and asked, "What did you find out?"

Sima Rui didn't expect Gong Lingche to come, so he immediately reported the information he had collected.

"Second Highness, two hundred and three people died in a row in Yangping Town last night. All the dead were martial arts and spiritual cultivators, and the death conditions were as they are now. They all looked like mummies. Just now, my subordinates checked Fan found that they had no trauma on their bodies.

However, according to the people in the town, when these bodies were found, there was a cloud of black mist on their bodies.This is the mayor of Yangping Town, because they have the most guards in their mansion, so the most people died, you can ask him.Mayor Cui, come here and report to the Second Highness what you have seen. "

After hearing Sima Rui's words, the old man in green who was pointed out by Shangguan Rui immediately stepped forward excitedly and bowed to Gong Lingche.He didn't expect His Royal Highness the Second Prince to come in person, so his expression was both excited and sad.

"Second Highness, old man Cui Yongzhai, is the mayor of Yangping Town. Our Yangping Town has been normal these days. For some reason, so many people died overnight last night, and all of them were practitioners.

Early this morning, the housekeeper found that all the guards in the mansion were lying on the ground. When he took a closer look, he found that they were all dead.After hearing the news, the old man rushed over to take a look, and found that a cloud of black mist was still condensed on their chests. It was not until half an hour later that the black mist gradually dissipated.

After a while, the whole town was alarmed, and many family members of the deceased came here to complain. The old man went to check other people's homes and found that the situation there was similar to this one.

There was no external injury on the body, and there was a black mist when he died. The old man suspected that it was the work of dark magic, so he sent someone to the imperial capital to ask for investigation. "Although Mayor Cui looked excited, he still reported to Gong Lingche in an orderly manner.

Gong Lingche nodded. This Mayor Cui was right. Seeing these corpses, such thoughts immediately appeared in his mind.These corpses had obviously been sucked out of their souls, not only that, even the fighting spirit and spiritual power in their bodies had been sucked out.

Although there are similar absorbing methods in some combat skills of martial arts and spiritual cultivation, only the legendary dark magic can do it that can leave black mist on the corpse.Moreover, absorbing the power of so many people at once, if the opponent had not a large number of people, then the strength must be not low, probably at least above the level of a great magician.

Could it be that a dark magician has come to their east border country?Gong Lingche frowned and thought.In the Firmament Continent, the number of magicians is rare, and the dark magic has never been respected by humans because it is too dark.Those who practice dark magic are generally undead and demons.

Are these corpses made by human magicians, or by undead or demons?Thinking of all the possibilities, Gong Lingche immediately fell into deep thought.

"Qu Qi, can you tell that these corpses are made by dark magic?" Gong Lingche said to a middle-aged man in white robe beside Shangguan Rui after thinking for a moment.

This man named Qu Qi is a senior water magician of the royal family.This time, because magic might be involved, Shangguan Rui invited him over.Although Qu Qi is not a dark magician, but as a magician, he can better feel the magic elements remaining in the air.

After being named, Qu Qi frowned slightly and said: "Second Highness, although these deceased died in the early morning, there is still a trace of dark magic in the air. I conclude that this is the work of dark magic. And there is only one caster."

Qu Qi used his mental power to search carefully, and found that although the dark magic in the air had become weaker, it was still corrosive and had the same aura, obviously it was done by one person.

Gong Lingche heard his words, and asked again: "Maybe you can find out where that person is now?"

Qu Qi shook his head and said, "I can only feel that he is not in town now."

Out of town?
Ten miles away from Yangping Township, there is a dense forest. This forest stretches for hundreds of miles and directly borders the Ziwei Mountains. It has always been a place of exploration for nearby practitioners.There are some monsters living in this forest, but most of them are not of high grade. The really high grade monsters or spirit beasts all live in the inner area of ​​Ziwei Mountain.

To absorb the souls of so many people at the same time, the other party must want to break through.Since he wanted to break through, he definitely wouldn't go very far.It seems that the other party is likely to hide in the forest.Gong Lingche thought so.

"Shangguan Rui, you and Qu Qi will follow me into the forest to investigate, and the others will stay in the town. If there is any accident, report it in time." Gong Lingche instructed everyone.

"Yes!" Shangguan Rui and Qu Qi agreed after hearing the order.

Among the many people on the field, the three of them were the strongest, and most of the other soldiers were generals and martial kings, so Gong Lingche didn't let them take risks.As for classmate Nangong Xiaoxiao, Gong Lingche didn't take her into consideration at all.
