When the Sword Spirit Sect's Elder heard that one of her subordinates had reported that a student of Tynes Academy had arrived, she immediately went out to welcome them.

Jun Qiqi saw a white-haired old man jogging over with many disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect.

"Everyone is here." The old man smiled kindly at Jun Qiqi and the other students, then cupped his hands and bowed to them.

The old man from the Sword Spirit Sect stepped aside, "Everyone, please." She wanted to personally accompany them into the sect with a smile on her face.

Jun Qiqi and the others secretly exchanged glances. This old man was polite to them and made them feel that there was something strange about him, but they still nodded their heads and followed him.

The interior decorations of the Sword Spirit Sect were quite unique. Not only was there not a single ordinary pavilion, but just as they entered the door, they saw a huge stone sword standing behind the huge door. Behind the huge sword was a huge Eight Trigram Formation, which seemed to be a martial stage.

The Sword Spirit Sect elder first took the group on a stroll around the sect, and from time to time, she could see the disciples practicing. Jun Qiqi and the others felt a sense of novelty. They had never seen the Sword Spirit Sect's cultivation method, so they stopped to watch from time to time. The old man neither stopped them nor urged them to do so.

Jun Qiqi felt even more baffled. All of the sects and clans were hiding their techniques, afraid that someone else might want to learn them. However, the Sword Spirit Sect was different.

The back of the Sword Spirit Sect's head was also different from the other sects. It was actually an herb field. It was spring. The medicinal plants were dark green and exuded a unique fragrance as they swayed in the breeze. There were no longer those disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect who were familiar with the area, and in the middle of the herb field was a little girl wearing a pink jacket.

She was sitting alone in the middle of the herb field with her two cute ponytails. Her hair was blown up by the breeze, just like the leaves on the herb.

Jun Qiqi felt strange. There wasn't a single person here, so why was there a young girl sitting there in a daze? He was lost in his thoughts and couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to enter that dark green area.

"Hey hey hey, that girl!" What are you doing? " A bellow rang out from behind her, and suddenly Jun Qiqi came back to her senses. She realized that beneath her toes was a field of tender green buds.

When he turned his head to look at the speaker, he saw an old man dressed in a short robe rushing over with a wooden ladle in his hand.

Jun Qiqi withdrew her foot, and immediately apologized to the old man. She turned her head again, and saw that the little girl had already left. Before she left, she looked towards Jun Qiqi with cold eyes.

Why was the gaze of a little girl like this? Jun Qiqi couldn't figure it out, but she didn't want to pursue it either. The instructor looked at Jun Qiqi, and she gave him a puzzled look.

The Sword Spirit Sect elder frowned as if she felt that there was something wrong with this meeting, but she still continued to lead Jun Qiqi and the others through the great Sword Spirit Sect with a smile on her face.

It was already evening by this time, and everyone felt that it was about time. Thus, they bid farewell to the elder of the Sword Spirit Sect, who insisted on escorting them to the entrance.

After receiving such courtesy today, everyone cupped their fists towards the Sword Spirit Sect elder before they left. The elder smiled and waved her hand, then exchanged a few more words in front of the entrance before she unknowingly asked about the case.

Jun Qiqi was watching coldly from the side. This old man didn't seem to be doing it on purpose, but her every word and sentence was secretly brought to bear on the case. She couldn't help but wonder if there was something fishy about this case.

The old man probed the crowd, and after finding out that there was no progress in the case, he seemed to be relieved, and the expression on his face relaxed a little. If it wasn't for the fact that Jun Qiqi was secretly watching the old man's expression, she probably wouldn't have noticed the change in his smile.

"This case of the Liu Family is indeed very thorny. If you need this old man to help you with anything during the investigation, then I am duty-bound." The old man from the Sword Spirit Sect said to her instructor.

The instructor also felt that the old man was a bit too concerned, but he didn't make any mistakes in his words. Therefore, although the instructor had his doubts, he still buried them in his heart. He cupped his hands toward the old man and replied, "We appreciate the Sword Spirit Sect's kindness."

The old man's face stiffened. He did not expect that Tanas Academy would not even give him any face, and his smile froze on the spot. However, it was not good for him to act up in front of everyone, so he could only change the topic and change the topic.

After the group left the Sword Spirit Sect, Jun Qiqi didn't stay idle either. She had already become suspicious of the Sword Spirit Sect's elder's strange behavior just now, so she had her teachers and disciples go back first while she inquired about the news.

He had not expected to find out much about the information, but he did manage to gather some information.

It was the Xiao family in the east, the Lin family in the west, and a few small families.

The story on the streets was mysterious. As Jun Qiqi listened to it, she felt that these cases were very similar to the ones that had occurred in the Liu Family.

There were 102 Liu Family members, but only 100 corpses were left at the scene of the tragedy. Only the mother and daughter were missing. The Xiao family, Lin family, and the other families also had similar scenes.

Jun Qiqi could not help guessing what was going on, but these cases sounded very similar to each other on the surface, and it didn't seem like that at all. Her heart was thrown into disarray, and all the clues were like a tangled thread that wound itself around her heart.

Jun Qiqi felt that something was amiss, but she couldn't find out what was amiss. She also heard the conversation between the two people by the side of the road, so she decided to investigate. Perhaps, she might be able to hear something from the mouths of others.

"Excuse me, where are the Xiao Clan and Lin Clan?" The two people who were happily talking about the tragedy were stunned, as if they were greatly shocked by the person's words.

Upon seeing that the person spying on them was a young lady, both of their faces paled: "Young lady, let me tell you, the Xiao Clan and the Lin Clan cannot go there. Their entire family is dead and the smell of blood will not dissipate for a long time, this is not a place a young lady like you can go."

One of them kindly reminded, while the other also nodded his head and continued, "That's right, the Xiao Clan and Lin Clan are extremely evil now. I heard that they can hear ghosts crying at night." As the two of them spoke, their faces were filled with fear.

"Is there something wrong with the Xiao Clan's and Lin Clan's?" Seeing that the two of them seemed to have some understanding of the events that had occurred in the Xiao Clan, Jun Qiqi inquired.

The man thought for a moment, then said to Jun Qi Qi Qi: "From the investigation done by those constables, they seem to feel that there is something missing from Xiao Lin's two residences."

Jun Qiqi felt as if she had been struck by lightning. When she heard these words, she immediately asked, "That little bit … isn't it the spirit energy of plants and vegetation?"
