Chapter 952: Chapter 949 Leaving the Village Chapter 952: Chapter 949 Leaving the Village Shen Luo had originally thought he would stay in the village for a few more days, but early that morning, sothing unexpected happened.
He was still cultivating in his room when he soon heard soone calling his na.
By the ti he ca out, before he had a chance to speak, Liu Feixu grabbed him by the sleeve and dragged him to a eting hall in the east of the village.
Along the way, the sky was gloomy, as if a black lid were covering everything above, stuffy to the point of making it difficult to breathe.
Shen Luo asked Liu Feixu what had happened, but she refused to explain and simply pulled him along.
Upon reaching the eting hall, Shen Luo saw that quite a few people had already gathered there.
Granny Sun sat at the central wooden table in the hall, with two people draped in cloaks sitting beside her, while the others stood respectfully to the side.
With a glance around, Shen Luo noticed that everyone was surrounding a young girl dressed in pink in the center of the area.
She was in shabby clothing, her hair sowhat disheveled, her complexion pale, and her eye sockets slightly sunken. At that mont, she was crouching on the ground with her arms around her knees, shivering slightly.
“Granny Sun, what is this…” Shen Luo frowned and began to ask.
“Lili’er, lift your head and look. Is this the person who took you away that day?” Granny Sun ignored his question and instead addressed the young girl.
Lili’er? Was this the girl who had disappeared?
“How did she co back?” Shen Luo was extrely surprised in his heart.
As soon as the girl saw Shen Luo, she let out a scream and hurriedly moved closer to Granny Sun.
Seeing this, everyone turned their angry glares towards Shen Luo.
Even Liu Feixu, standing behind him, frowned and a complex expression flashed in her eyes.
Shen Luo looked innocent and was about to speak, when he saw the girl shivering and looking at him cautiously, as if assessing him.
After a while, a hint of bewildernt appeared in the girl’s eyes.
She stood up, her movents slow, and ca close to Shen Luo, wrinkling her nose and sniffing carefully around him.
Shen Luo, not wanting to startle her, stood still at his spot, cooperating with her.
After a while, the look of terror on Lili’er’s face slightly cald down, and she said in a low voice, “Granny, it’s not him. The person who took away is not him.”
“But where is the evidence?” Granny Sun asked with a slight raise of her eyebrows.
“That day, when that person took away, I scattered Non-stop Grass seeds on him, hoping to leave a trace as a clue for you,” Lili’er slowly explained.
“But we never found traces of Non-stop Grass,” Liu Feixu interjected.
“The seeds were discovered by him, so they didn’t succeed in sprouting. But his body would definitely retain the scent of Non-stop Grass. As you all know, that scent is not easily detected, but it can’t be completely removed for at least a year. This man… he doesn’t have that scent,” Lili’er continued.
Hearing this, Liu Feixu’s gaze inadvertently flashed, as if she also felt so relief.
“What exactly is going on?” Shen Luo couldn’t help but ask.
“This is Lili’er, the disciple who disappeared from the village a few days ago. She was found unconscious outside the village early this morning. After waking up, she claid she was abducted by soone and had been held captive for a long ti until today when she managed to escape while her captor was unguarded,” Granny Sun explained.
Hearing this, Shen Luo’s brows furrowed as he inquired, “Is it just that simple?”
“What else do you think?” Granny Sun asked, her eyebrows knitted.
“Ahem, nothing, nothing. It’s good that she could return. But it’s best to investigate and see whether the one who ca back is really the sa Lili’er,” said Shen Luo after coughing twice.
“What do you an by that?” Soone beside Granny Sun imdiately asked coldly.
Shen Luo rely glanced at her and, unwilling to say much more, shook his head and said, “Now that Lili’er Girl has returned safely, my innocence should be cleared, right?”
“Since Lili’er herself said the person she t on her way was not you, naturally, your suspicion can be ruled out,” Granny Sun spoke.
“So can we leave the village now?” Shen Luo continued.
“Of course, even if you didn’t want to leave, we would still have to ask you to do so,” Granny Sun said bluntly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo couldn’t help but recall Bai Xiaotian’s words from yesterday and felt that Daughter Village seed to be preparing for sothing, that sothing was about to happen here.
But since it likely had nothing to do with him, he didn’t bother to think too much about it. After all, he had originally intended to leave this place imdiately to search for the secret realm he had accidentally discovered when capturing the Tear Demon that year.
“Thank you,” Shen Luo said with a fist salute.
“For detaining you in the village these days, we in Daughter Village were rude first. The Nine Brahmanic Lotus you desire is really beyond our ability to give, but we in Daughter Village do have so things we can offer. This ti, we will give you three ‘Hundred-corpses Pills’ as compensation, how about that?” Granny Sun spoke.
“Hundred-corpses Pill?” Shen Luo asked in confusion.
He had never heard the na of this elixir before and didn’t know its effects.
“The Hundred-corpses Pill is our Daughter Village’s Detoxification Holy Pill. It can neutralize even the most powerful poisons of our village,” Liu Feixu’s voice transmission suddenly rang in Shen Luo’s mind at that mont.
“Then thank you very much, Granny Sun,” Shen Luo quickly expressed his gratitude.
“Well, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, we won’t keep Friend Shen and your company any longer,” Granny Sun said.
Seeing that he had been given the order to leave, Shen Luo naturally had nothing more to say.
“Once I find Bai Xiaotian, we will leave together.
…
Upon leaving the eting hall, the overcast clouds in the sky had gathered densely, and within them, flashes of lightning could be seen briefly illuminating the sky.
“Boom”
A muffled roar of thunder erupted from the depths of the heavens, shaking heaven and earth.
However, despite the thunderous explosions, no raindrops fell, and the atmosphere in Daughter Village beca increasingly oppressive.
Shen Luo had so difficulty finding Bai Xiaotian, but upon hearing they were to leave, Bai Xiaotian was imdiately unhappy.
In the end, it was only after Shen Luo explained they were just leaving the village and not Colorful Cloud Island for the ti being, that Bai Xiaotian reluctantly followed him.
When they were leaving, only Liu Feixu ca to see them off, apologizing profusely to Shen Luo.
Once the two had left the village, they quickly followed the path to the edge of Colorful Cloud Island and soared away on the flying boat.
“Shen Luo, you lied to again, didn’t you say we’re not leaving the island for now?” Bai Xiaotian complained on the flying boat.
“The people of Daughter Village are watching us, how could we not leave imdiately? But there’s no rush, we’ll circle back later if needed,” Shen Luo said.
“Then where are we going now…?” Bai Xiaotian wondered.
“Crafting talismans,” Shen Luo said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a snow-white streak of lightning flashed high in the sky, followed by a thunderous roar.
“Swoosh”
A sudden torrential downpour descended from the sky onto the sea area.
Shen Luo, however, steered the flying boat to land on a barren and uninhabited island in the center of the sea.
