After leaving the task hall, Song Wen asked Zuo Shuiyun.

"Senior Sister Zuo, when should we set off?"

Zuo Shuiyun glanced at Song Wen with a little contempt in her eyes.

She was reluctant to go on an outing mission with Song Wen.

Song Wen was not very talented in alchemy and had never shown any fighting ability. Zuo Shuiyun subconsciously regarded Song Wen as a liability.

"Tomorrow at noon."

After saying that, Zuo Shuiyun left without looking back.

The next day, noon.

The two set off on time and headed towards the Cheng family in Xishan with their swords.

The Cheng family is located more than 30,000 miles south of the Beast Control Sect, close to the mortal realm.

The Cheng family is based on cultivating the elixir Huoyangqi, which is one of the main medicines for refining animal essence pills.

The two of them were in no hurry and took two days to reach Cheng's house.

The Cheng family is surrounded by mountains and rivers. There is a clear river winding in front of it, and there is a towering mountain peak in the back called Xishan, so it is named Xishan Cheng family.

Between the Cheng family and Xishan, there is a depression shrouded in clouds and fog. A large number of elixirs are planted in the depression.

The elixir is about two to three feet tall, with dark brown stems and nine small green leaves. This is Huoyangqi.

Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun successfully entered the Cheng family with their identity tokens.

In the main hall of the Cheng family, I met Cheng Ruida, the head of the Cheng family.

Cheng Ruida is five feet tall, gentle and elegant, with an air of elegance.

"You two, I've been waiting for you."

When he met Song and Wen for the first time, Cheng Ruida looked happy.

"Meet the Master of the Cheng family. I'm Wu Sheng. This is Elder Zuo Shuiyun." Song Wen greeted him proactively.

"Elder Wu, Elder Zuo, thank you both for traveling thousands of miles to rescue our Cheng family."

Song Wen asked, "Master Cheng, I just noticed that there are less than ten thousand people in the Cheng family. Why is this?"

After entering the Cheng family's residence, Song Wen discovered that the Cheng family occupies a vast area, but there are relatively few people coming and going.

He scanned the entire Cheng family with his spiritual sense and found that there were only more than 8,000 people in the Cheng family. For a foundation-building family, this number was pitifully small.

Cheng Ruida sighed deeply, his face full of resentment.

"Hey!, my Cheng family was originally prosperous, with more than 60,000 members. However, since the blood demon appeared two years ago, it hunted and killed my Cheng family members, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of members of our Cheng family. , especially those mortals without cultivation, suffered heavy injuries."

Hearing this, Song Wen's eyes flashed with horror.

There are more than 60,000 people, and only more than 8,000 people are left?

In just two years, the population was reduced to just over 10%.

The Cheng family was killed by the blood demon and most of the clan members, yet they didn’t ask the Beast Control Sect for help until today?

Song Wen took a deep look at Cheng Ruida and did not continue to ask further.

Zuo Shuiyun suddenly interrupted.

"Okay, don't waste time. If you click and kill the blood demon as soon as possible, you can restore peace to the Cheng family earlier, and we can return to the sect earlier. Head of the Cheng family, take me to your Cheng family's alchemy room. I want to refine the second-level alchemy room." Lure the demon away.”

Zuo Shuiyun was not too concerned about this mission. It was not easy for the three foundation-building monks to kill a mid-level second-level blood demon.

Cheng Ruida said, "Thank you, Elder Zuo. It takes several days to refine the second-level demon-baiting powder, and it is difficult to refine. I sincerely ask the two elders to work together to successfully refine the demon-baiting powder as soon as possible. Please come with me, I will I’ll take you to the alchemy room.”

After saying that, he stood up and pointed his hand towards the main hall door, signaling Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun to follow him.

Zuo Shuiyun stood up and walked out the door.

Song Wen also stood up.

Zuo Shuiyun glanced at Song Wen and said with a hint of disgust.

"Junior Brother Wu, you don't need to come. I am enough alone. I'm afraid you still don't know how to refine the second-level demon-inducing powder. If you enter the alchemy room, not only will you not be able to help me refine the alchemy, but it may distract me."

After hearing this, Song Wen sat back down again.

He has already been able to refine the second-level demon-baiting powder.

Zuo Shuiyun wanted to refine the demon-baiting powder on her own, obviously to gain more credit in this mission.

Since she wants to refine the elixir alone, let her do it alone, and Song Wen will be free.

Anyway, the reward from the mission is dispensable to him.

Moreover, Song Wen always felt that something was not right between the Cheng family and Cheng Ruida, so he took advantage of the time Zuo Shuiyun was refining alchemy to investigate the Cheng family.

Be prepared!

Cheng Ruida glanced back and forth at Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun, and then, without saying anything, he took Zuo Shuiyun to the alchemy room.

After the two left, a maid came.

"My servant Qiulu, I have met Elder Wu and asked the senior to come with me. I will take my senior to the guest room to rest."

Qiu Lu has a beautiful appearance, but has no cultivation base. She is a mortal without spiritual qualifications.

The two of them walked through the Cheng family's house and walked towards the depths of the Cheng family.

"Qiu Lu, please introduce to me the layout of your Cheng family." Song Wendao.

"Yes!" Qiu Lu said respectfully while leading the way.

"The Cheng family is divided into three areas: front, middle and back. The front yard near the river is home to ordinary people like me who have no cultivation. The middle yard is the Cheng family's important place for refining alchemy and weapon refining. The backyard near the spiritual field is where spiritual energy is stored. There is ample room for people with spiritual roots. The guest room where the seniors live is also in the backyard, next to Huo Yangge's spiritual field."

"When did the blood demon appear?" Song Wen asked.

"About two and a half years ago." Qiu Lu replied.

"When did the Cheng family members start disappearing and dying?"

"It was after the blood demon appeared."

Qiu Lu's eyes suddenly turned red, filled with sparkling tears.

"Senior, I know that you are here to help the Cheng family get rid of demons. Please be sure to kill the blood demon. My whole family died at the hands of the blood demon. My parents, younger brothers and sisters were all eaten to death by the blood demon. That was A monster that eats human flesh and drinks human blood.”

As she spoke, Qiu Lu's voice gradually became choked with sobs.

"If senior can help the Cheng family kill this monster, Qiu Lu is willing to give everything to repay senior for his great kindness."

Qiu Lu stopped and looked back at Song Wen, with a hint of perseverance in her weakness.

That poignant and sad look makes people feel pity for him.

Song Wen patted his chest and said, as if he was moved by the other party's tragic experience, as if he was troubled by a sense of justice in his heart, or as if he was showing off his heroic masculinity.

"Don't worry, Miss Qiulu, I will take care of killing the blood demon."

A knowing smile appeared on Qiulu Lihua's rainy face, her eyes curved into a crescent moon, and she stared at Song Wen with reverence.

"Senior, I believe that you will be able to kill the blood demon and avenge my people."

Immediately, she noticed that Song Wen's eyes were firmly locked on her plump chest, and shyness flashed across her face.

Qiu Lu lowered her head, her face stained with a layer of red clouds.

She pointed to a two-story building not far ahead.

"Senior, when the guest room arrives, I will leave first."
