Chapter 171 The One I Killed Was Your Jiejiao Disciple!
Yang Ling nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the room, and he noticed the tense atmosphere, "What happened?"
Jiang Ziya quickly handed the letter in his hand to Yang Ling, and told him everything about the child's disappearance.
"Now many people are spreading rumors that our charity hall is actually a demon cave. If this continues, I am afraid it will affect your reputation, brother..."
Yang Ling took the letter, frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"I will investigate this matter personally. I opened the charity hall, so I naturally cannot let it be slandered like this.
I will go to Jingshui Pass first to see what kind of evil thing that thing is!"
Jiang Ziya hurried forward, "Brother, I will go with you! I also want to see what the thing is!"
Yang Ling nodded slightly, waved his hand, and a black shadow immediately approached rapidly from the horizon.
Soon, a huge dark cloud floated over.
Jiang Ziya was not an ordinary person, and he immediately saw the huge scale claws and the winding huge dragon body from the dark cloud.
"This is..."
"This is my new mount."
Yang Ling waved his hand, and took Jiang Ziya with him to the sky, landing on the black dragon's head.
The black dragon had long bone spurs on its back, and only the dragon's head was relatively flat, so Ao Ming refined a palace on his head to please Yang Ling, the master.
From a distance, it looked like a crown, but in fact, it was equipped with a futon, a desk, and even tea, chessboards, and other entertainment items.
Yang Ling also noticed his intentions, and brought him with him to Chaoge this time.
Usually, he shrank into a small dragon of more than a foot long, practicing in the pond in the backyard of the Yang Mansion, and guarding the house by the way. When he was needed, he turned into a hundred-foot black dragon and came to listen to the call.
The black dragon was very fast, and it rushed towards the southeast like a black light.
Jiang Ziya was a little uncomfortable with this speed at first, but he soon settled down and began to report to Yang Ling about the situation of local businesses and charity halls in the past two years.
"In the past two years since my senior brother was away, Yang's business has spread all over Dashang, and the number of charity halls has also continued to increase. Wherever there is a Yang's business, there must be a charity hall..."
After listening to Jiang Ziya's report, Yang Ling nodded and said, "Ziya, you did a good job. It was right to let you take charge. You have worked hard in the past two years."
"I don't think it's hard."
Jiang Ziya smiled and shook his head, and then a trace of worry flashed across his face: "But perhaps it is because we expanded too fast, and a big tree attracts the wind, which will lead to such a disaster."
"Don't rush to draw a conclusion." Yang Ling said lightly: "We don't know the truth of the matter yet. When we reach Jingshui Pass, everything will be clear."
Jiang Ziya nodded, "I hope those missing children are all safe, otherwise there will be big problems."
Yang Ling knew what he was worried about.
The Yang family business expanded too fast and accumulated a lot of wealth. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich enough to rival a country. It has already attracted many peeping eyes.
Before, with Yang Ling in charge, those who dared to covet the Yang family business were punished, so the surface calmness has been maintained.
But in the past two years, Yang Ling has stayed in the underworld, relying on Jiang Ziya to maintain this huge business empire.
Although Jiang Ziya is indeed very capable, the crises from the outside are still one after another, which makes him a little overwhelmed.
After all, he does not have Yang Ling's strength, so he does not have the corresponding confidence.
This also makes the people who secretly spy more and more courageous, and there are more and more, just like a group of jackals staring at a fat sheep, wishing to eat the entire Yang family business alive.
Jiang Ziya is very worried that the Yang family business will be destroyed by his own means, so he can't explain to Yang Ling.
Fortunately, Yang Ling is back now, and he can breathe a sigh of relief.
Almost half a day later, the black dragon arrived at Jingshui Pass.
Yang Ling and Jiang Ziya jumped off the dragon's back and went straight to a huge house in the south of the city.
This is the charity hall under the Yang family business.
It was noon at this time. There were many people in the charity hall, mostly old people and women, and not even a child could be seen.
The remaining people all had anxiety and fear on their faces, and were obviously disturbed by the disappearance of their children.
Jiang Ziya walked in to register his identity, and soon a middle-aged man who looked like a manager came over quickly and saluted Yang Ling.
Yang Ling asked in a deep voice: "When did the children disappear? Did you find anything unusual?"
The manager quickly replied: "To answer the master, the children disappeared the night before yesterday. We were all asleep at that time, and only a maid who was on night watch said that she saw a huge black shadow..."
Yang Ling asked him to call the maid over to ask her again, and her words were almost the same, and there was nothing useful.
Jiang Ziya frowned, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and turned to Yang Ling and said: "Brother, what should we do next?"
Yang Ling pondered for a moment, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something in his mind.
After a moment, he slowly said: "The time is short. If the evildoers are causing trouble, they will definitely leave clues. I have a way to track down the whereabouts of the evildoers."
After that, he activated the "fighting" character secret and evolved the tracking secret technique of the black dog fairy.
"The sky and the earth are boundless, and the tracking is thousands of miles away!"
Yang Ling muttered something in his mouth, stretched out his hand and drew a series of strange runes in the air, and finally condensed into a half-human-high black dog in the air, sniffing around in the house.
Not long after, the black dog suddenly started barking, as if it had locked on a certain target.
A flash of light flashed in Yang Ling's eyes, and he said softly: "Sure enough, there is something strange. This fishy smell cannot be emitted by the human race."
Hearing this, Jiang Ziya immediately understood Yang Ling's intention and asked quickly: "Senior brother, shall we set off now?"
Yang Ling nodded and motioned for Jiang Ziya to follow. The two quickly returned to the sky above Jingshui Pass and landed on the waiting black dragon's back.
Under Yang Ling's command, the black dragon didn't have any extra words to say. Following the guidance of the smell, he rushed straight towards the east.
His speed was extremely fast, and he drew beautiful arcs in the sky, like a black lightning, shuttled between the clouds, and finally traced it to the East China Sea.
The rough sea spread out in front of you, and the blue water shone dazzlingly in the sun.
Jiang Ziya stood on the dragon's back, looking solemnly at the rough sea, his brows furrowed, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice: "Could it really be done by a sea spirit?"
Yang Ling stood beside him and shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. Although there are many monsters in the sea, if it was really their fault, they wouldn't have gone so far to kidnap people. They could have started in the coastal villages, so why take the risk here. "
When Jiang Ziya heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he nodded, his eyes even more thoughtful, "If it's not what the sea spirit said, who else could it be?"
"You'll find out soon."
Yang Ling looked forward with burning eyes and saw a magnificent and majestic island standing on the blue waves.
According to the guidance of the smell, the target seems to have stayed on this island for a long time, and there is still a human aura.
…
The East China Sea is vast and vast, ranking first among the four seas.
Qixia Island is named after the beautiful morning glow. Whenever the sun rises, the sky is dyed into a gorgeous red glow, like a fairyland.
However, at this moment, Yang Ling and Jiang Ziya were too busy to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Their eyes were fixed on a cave on the island.
"The children are in this cave...but there are only four of them."
Yang Ling frowned slightly as he spoke.
He analyzed this answer based on the scent information he tracked, but more than thirty children were lost in Jingshui Pass alone.
Jiang Ziya also frowned when he heard this, his face full of doubts.
Yang Ling shook his head and said calmly: "Go down and take a look first."
After that, he took Jiang Ziya and turned into a breeze to the island.
The two approached the cave quietly.
Inside the cave, two Taoist boys were busy.
The two Taoist boys looked to be in their teens, and they were busy boiling water and washing pots, their movements skillful and natural.
But in the corner, four children were huddled together, their faces full of fear and anxiety.
One of the little girls trembled and whispered: "I'm so scared, will we..."
The little Taoist boy who was boiling water looked back at her, showed a weird smile, and said in a cold voice: "It's okay, you won't be afraid when it's cooked."
The little girl's face instantly turned pale, and the other three children were trembling with fear and did not dare to speak.
Jiang Ziya was furious when he saw this, and was about to rush into the cave to rescue the children, but Yang Ling grabbed his arm.
He looked at Yang Ling in confusion, only to see Yang Ling shake his head, signaling him to calm down.
"Wait a minute, the real owner will probably be back soon, so don't scare him away yet."
Hearing this, Jiang Ziya was anxious, but he knew that killing the two little Taoists now would not help. The real murderer was not in the cave, so he nodded and suppressed the anger in his heart.
When Yang Ling saw Jiang Ziya calm down, he made the two of them disappear with a wave of his hand.
After a while, a dark cloud appeared on the horizon, and four ugly and strange-looking Taoists stood on the cloud.
These Taoists may be carrying strange magical weapons or holding whisks. They all have different expressions, but what they have in common is that they all exude an evil aura.
The four Taoists rode dark clouds and slowly landed in front of the cave gate. The two little Taoist boys immediately greeted them and saluted:
"Master, the pot has been cleaned. Do you want to steam or boil it?"
A Taoist with a dark face and a protruding mouth stood in front, with a hint of sinisterness in his green eyes. Hearing this, he sneered and said: "These children have delicate skin and tender flesh, so naturally they have to be steamed to satisfy their cravings.
Hehe, if you cook it, all the flavor will be lost, which would be a pity. "
When the other three Taoists heard the words, they also echoed, with greedy smiles on their lips, as if they had smelled the delicious aroma: "Yes, yes, the meat of humans at this age is the most tender, and it is suitable to be steamed and eaten."
When Jiang Ziya heard these words, he was trembling with anger and furious. He clenched his fists and almost couldn't help but rush out and kill all these monsters.
At this moment, he saw Yang Ling beside him with a cold expression and murderous intent in his eyes.
He didn't make any unnecessary movements, he just gently raised his palm, and a purple-gold palm print emerged in the air, and he slapped the Taoist who spoke with great speed.
The wind roared in the palm, and the air seemed to freeze. The Taoist had no time to react. His whole body seemed to be hit by an invisible force. He flew out instantly and slammed into the stone wall of the cave.
A human-shaped depression suddenly appeared on the stone wall. The Taoist's body was half buried in it, vomiting blood, and his eyes were full of astonishment, as if he still didn't understand what happened.
The other three Taoists were shocked when they saw this and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you break into the cave of our Fourth Immortal Lord of Qixia Tao!"
Yang Ling did not answer, but with a cold face, he raised his hand and slapped a Taoist into the stone wall.
Seeing their companions being knocked away one after another, the remaining two Taoists turned pale instantly. They looked at each other and without any hesitation, they immediately turned into two black lights and fled to both sides of the cave, trying to take advantage of the complex island. Terrain Escape.
But how could Yang Ling give them this opportunity? The indifference on his face remained the same, and the murderous intent in his eyes was even worse.
He waved his dragon-capturing hand, and a giant golden palm suddenly condensed in the air. The giant palm was like a sky net, mercilessly covering the two fleeing Taoists.
The two black lights were ruthlessly captured. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not escape the shackles of the golden giant palm.
The two Taoists who were captured were horrified. They knew that they had met a real master. Such strength was definitely not something they could compete with.
"Exalted Immortal, please spare my life! We are all disciples of Jie Jiao. We really don't know where we have offended the Immortal. Please show your respect!"
The murderous intent in Yang Ling's eyes did not diminish, but he did not take action immediately. Instead, he asked coldly: "Why did you kidnap those children? Where have the remaining children gone?"
The four Taoists looked at each other, and the Taoist with a dark face and protruding mouth said tremblingly: "We... we are just... acting on orders..."
"On whose orders?"
"Senior Brother Lu Yue from Kowloon Island! The other children were also sent to Kowloon Island. Only these four stayed to satisfy their greed..."
"Then why did Lu Yue let you kidnap the children?"
"Senior Brother Lu has recently made a breakthrough in practicing the Wenhuang method. He needs a large number of living beings to practice his Wenhuang method... He said that the human race is the protagonist of the prehistoric times and can be called the leader of all spirits. Use the human race to practice, The most effective…”
When Jiang Ziya heard this, he was immediately furious. His whole body was trembling, and his angry eyes seemed to be spitting out fire. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a trembling voice: "Why did you go to the shantang to arrest the children?" ?”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the dark-faced Taoist priest lost all color on his face and stammered in reply: "Shantang... there are dozens or hundreds of children gathered together in the shantang. We don't need to search everywhere." , more trouble-free and convenient..."
Jiang Ziya was even more furious. He could hardly control his emotions. He clenched his hands into fists and the veins on his face jumped. He wanted to tear these inhuman monsters into pieces immediately.
Seeing this, the Taoist begged for mercy: "Exalted Immortal, please spare my life! We are all disciples of Jie Jiao. If they kill us, Jie Jiao will definitely not let it go. Then the trouble will be big. We are willing to atone for our sins. We just want the Immortal to show you your dignity." Hands, don’t let your mind wander!”
Hearing this, Jiang Ziya frowned slightly, but his expression remained as calm as ice. He knew that what these Taoists said was not unreasonable. Jie Jiao was the largest sect in the world. If he easily killed Jie Jiao's disciples, he would indeed be able to kill them. Bring endless trouble.
He turned around and was about to discuss the pros and cons with Yang Ling, when he saw Yang Ling sneer, his eyes like knives across the faces of the four Jie Jiao disciples, and his voice was as cold as ice: "So what about the Jie Jiao disciples, I will kill them without fail. "
After saying that, he directly activated the Heaven-Destroying Hand, and the purple-gold giant palms were shot out one after another.
The four Taoists all turned pale. They wanted to escape, but found that the space around them seemed to be frozen. Their bodies could not move, and they could only watch the terrifying force attack them.
In an instant, the four Taoists were all reduced to a pulp, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, and they were unable to even utter a scream.
Yang Ling didn't stop there. He used the Burning Jue Lingqi again, and the flames jumped in his hands, turning into a fire dragon, sucking all the remaining flesh and blood into it.
The fire dragon roared, and the hot flames burned the bodies of the four Taoists, as well as their magic weapons, Taoist robes, and souls into ashes.
