Chapter 406: 405, Eight Desolations Hall

Meng Yujuan nodded her head, "The monster comes and goes without a trace, targeting homes with children. It appears every night when the village is silent, and several children have already been taken."

"How terrifying!"

"Has anyone seen the monster?"

"Villagers who have seen it say the monster is covered in fur, huge in size, and moves very quickly. You just can’t make out its face," Meng Yujuan described the information about the monster she had heard to everyone.

"Let’s go outside and take a look," Zhang Qi said with interest. She was really curious, what exactly could the monster be?

"You guys go, I don’t want to," Chen Xiaomeng said, scared.

"I don’t want to go either," Wang Fei shook her head, standing with Chen Xiaomeng.

Zhang Qi looked at the others, Luo Shu and Xiao Yan, Liu Mengyao all nodded their heads.

"I’ll stay here with Xiaomeng and Wang Fei," Meng Yujuan also didn’t want to go. Just hearing about it was terrifying; she had no curiosity about the monster and would rather never encounter it in her lifetime.

"Alright, I won’t force you," Zhang Qi said with a smile, shrugging her shoulders, then turned to Luo Shu and the others, "Let’s go then!"

The four of them arrived at the outside threshing ground, only to see the villagers carrying hoes, ready to head towards the nearby mountains. They were scared, but almost every family in the village had children, and if the monster wasn’t dealt with, their children would sooner or later suffer.

Luo Shu had locked onto the black shadow with her Divine Sense the moment that scream rang out. It was a huge Four-Eyed Spirit Fox, and from the Spiritual Energy it emitted, she knew it had already cultivated into a Spirit Beast.

The Four-Eyed Spirit Fox didn’t eat the children, but carried them to a cliff, and then it leaped down the cliff. She couldn’t determine right away what was beneath the cliff, because there was a Shielding Array, and she couldn’t penetrate it with her Divine Sense just yet.

The group made their way deep into the mountains, some holding torches, some with flashlights, but after searching for most of the night with no results, they returned to the village dejected.

"Had I known, I wouldn’t have gone, we didn’t see anything and it was exhausting," Zhang Qi yawned, speaking in fatigue.

Xiao Yan nodded in agreement, "I’m going to sleep, I’m so tired!"

Liu Mengyao checked the time on her wrist, "It’s already two A.M. I hope I won’t attend Yujuan’s engagement tomorrow with panda eyes."

Luo Shu smiled and followed the others back inside the house. She had known beforehand that this trip would be fruitless; her concern was that they could get into an accident. The mountain paths were steep and uneven, and a misstep could have dire consequences. Her talismans could only ward off attacks, but not accidents.

Zhang Qi and the others entered the house, exchanged a few words with Meng Yujuan and the rest, and quickly fell asleep.

As even breathing sounds began to fill the room, Luo Shu got up, flashed out of the room, and summoned her Flying Sword, heading towards the cliff.

Standing on the Flying Sword, Luo Shu looked down at the valley shrouded in dense fog below. She raised her hand and threw a Formation Flag. The fog dispersed quickly, revealing ancient buildings one after another. Indeed, there was a hidden mystery beneath.

Jumping off the Flying Sword, Luo Shu activated an Invisibility Talisman and darted into the area, simultaneously retracting the Formation Flag she had just deployed. As the Formation Flag was taken back, the deep valley was once again shrouded in thick fog.

Releasing her Divine Sense, everything within the valley immediately came into view before her eyes.

The valley was vast, with pavilions, towers, bridges over streams, and lotus flowers in the river at the peak of their bloom, a riot of colors so beautiful it was breathtaking!

A gentle evening breeze carried a light fragrance that swept past the nostrils, refreshing and uplifting the spirit.

The guard here was extremely tight; nearly every five steps, there was a patrol.

Her Divine Sense continued to extend in all directions, and a stone stele engraved with the three large characters "Eight Desolations Hall" appeared within her perception.

Luo Shu took out a copper medal, and seeing the characters on it, a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth. She hadn’t expected that she and the Eight Desolations Hall would be so fated.

That was the first time she met Yun Han, who was being pursued by two cultivators back then. She saved Yun Han, but as a result, she incurred the wrath of those two cultivators. They not only destroyed her carriage but also wanted her life. Had it not been for her space and Xiao Qing, and the fact that the two cultivators had killed one another, she might have lost her life long ago.

With that thought, Luo Shu dashed towards the interior of the Eight Desolations Hall. She wanted to see exactly what kind of sect this was.

Luo Shu arrived in front of a lavish tower and released her Divine Sense to probe inside.

She saw a man wearing a luxurious black robe with a sullen face, whose cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Primary Stage, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The Four-Eyed Spirit Fox was docilely lying at his feet, his hand occasionally stroking the Spirit Fox’s fur lightly, "With thirty-two more, I can gather a hundred, that bastard Ying Duansheng really knows how to torment people!"

The Eight Desolations Hall and the Yin Corpse Sect were branches of the same origin, both established by an ancient ancestor. However, in his master’s generation, his master and Ying Duansheng’s master had a falling out over the position of sect leader.

Eventually, his master was defeated by Ying Duansheng’s master and, in a fit of anger, left the Yin Corpse Sect to establish the Eight Desolations Hall. However, the strength of the Eight Desolations Hall had always been inferior to that of the Yin Corpse Sect, so it had always been under their control.

After the Song Family was annihilated, Ying Duansheng tasked them with the job of finding boys and girls. He did not wish to agree, but who would let them refuse when the strength of the Eight Desolations Hall was weaker than the Yin Corpse Sect’s?

With her Divine Sense, Luo Shu scanned the other members of the Eight Desolations Hall and discovered that most of their strengths were below the Nascent Soul level; she then stepped into the tower.

Ouyang Jing, hearing footsteps, looked up toward the entrance and saw Luo Shu entering. He was taken aback, "Who are you?!" Anyone who could enter the Eight Desolations Hall without a sound must be strong.

"I’m the person here to annihilate your sect," Luo Shu said with a slight smile on her lips. She was no Savior, but she thought it would be better to have one less of this kind of up-to-no-good sect. Moreover, their disciples had once sought her life. Now that she had the opportunity for revenge, how could she not retaliate?

Ouyang Jing’s pupils contracted slightly, "I have no grudge against you; speaking of annihilating my sect as soon as you arrive is too much, don’t you think? Do you really think the Eight Desolations Hall is so easy to bully?!"

"Who told you we have no grudge? Your Eight Desolations Hall’s disciples once wanted my life!" Luo Shu extended her hand to take out the medal with the Eight Desolations Hall’s inscription and waved it in front of Ouyang Jing.

"So it was you who killed Yang Zheng and the others!" Recognizing the medal in Luo Shu’s hand, Ouyang Jing realized that the person who had killed two disciples of their Eight Desolations Hall was this woman before him.
