Chapter 1164: Chapter 1167: Exposed (Part 2)

Immediately, the Ginseng King intended to tell him something.

However, this wasn’t the place for that.

Lin Xi conveyed with a gesture to let it know there was no rush.

As far as he was concerned, he was already in the village.

So, the weird events in the village should come to an end.

After all, he was an Innate Powerhouse.

If an Innate Powerhouse couldn’t handle this, then there’d be no use to it.

It should be known that even when he was in the King of Soldiers realm, he almost shattered a Fierce Ghost’s soul with a single punch.

Now, if he encountered that ghost again, he wouldn’t even need to act; just revealing some innate aura would make the Fierce Ghost’s soul disperse.

After chatting with Gu Xiaoxian and Gu Lan for a while, he found an excuse to go to the bathroom and left the place.

Of course, he mainly chatted with Gu Lan just now.

Gu Xiaoxian barely spoke, as she was still as shy as before, making it hard for her to converse fluently.

Lin Xi was already accustomed to this.

At the same time, he also liked Gu Xiaoxian this way.

As he left, he gave a signal to one of his eight followers, the one who led them.

So, that person immediately followed.

The other seven continued to ensure Gu Xiaoxian’s safety.

Even though there was almost no danger, he wouldn’t feel at ease until the village’s matters were resolved.

After the two left the house, they stopped at a secluded place.

The person leading Gu Xiaoxian’s protection team was named Tang Rui.

After introducing himself, he began to tell Lin Xi more about the matters of the Gu family village.

His explanation was much more detailed than the previous ones and included a lot of his analysis.

Lin Xi was impressed.

This person could lead a team not just because of his strength, but also due to his exceptional abilities.

After gaining a general understanding, Lin Xi sent him back to Gu Xiaoxian.

As Tang Rui left, Lin Xi couldn’t help but murmur, "In other words, that place has long been abandoned!"

"It’s just that for mysterious reasons, people go there every night."

"According to Tang Rui’s analysis, their minds are likely being manipulated, causing them to go involuntarily."

"Also, the deceased villagers have a common trait: they lived alone in a room, with nobody else present."

He also mentioned a crucial reason for calling Xu Hong today.

Which was that last night, one of their eight members seemed to be in a daze at midnight, walking outside like a sleepwalker.

Luckily, they were all vigilant, or that person would have walked out.

They knew that person had never sleepwalked before.

Moreover, their face was eerily pale.

After discovering this strange situation, they immediately stopped him by force.

The person woke up right after but was unaware of his sleepwalking.

There seemed to be no recollection of standing up and walking out.

After that, none of them slept for the rest of the night.

And all eight were exceptionally brave.

They even went to the place where the deceased was found and carefully reexamined it.

In the end, they found nothing unusual and so returned.

However, throughout the latter half of the night until dawn, they felt a sinister presence seemingly watching them.

No matter how they searched, they couldn’t find it.

At that moment, they were a bit panicked.

Only after careful consideration did they call Elder Xu.

"This is getting interesting!" Lin Xi’s expression subtly cooled.

At that moment, he slightly lifted his foot and tapped on the ground.

Instantly, the Ginseng King emerged from the cement ground.

Magically, the cement wasn’t damaged at all.

"What did you discover?" Lin Xi communicated mentally with it.

At this moment, the Ginseng King was hugging Lin Xi’s leg tightly.

Only through ’intimate’ contact could they communicate spiritually.

Yes, don’t interpret this intimacy wrongly.

"Master, I should have found where the aura’s owner resides!" the Ginseng King said.

Its voice sounded juvenile to Lin Xi.

"Are you saying, the perpetrator killing the villagers?"

"Yes!"

"How did you find it?" Lin Xi was taken aback; honestly, he hadn’t found it yet.

But it was also because he hadn’t investigated.

"Because underground there are traces of that aura, and I found residue in the bedroom of that building, and also on the person inside the coffin!" the Ginseng King continued.

"So, the perpetrator is likely the owner of that aura."

Lin Xi nodded; this was probably correct.

It’s just that he hadn’t sensed that aura at the building.

He thought about it and it made sense.

After all, there were too many people there now.

With so many people, the smell became chaotic.

Whereas the lingering underground aura was relatively simple.

Also at that time, he hadn’t carefully sniffed it out, so it was normal to not notice.

Of course, if he sniffed it carefully, he believed he could sense it too.

"Take me to where the owner is!" Lin Xi instructed.

The next moment, the Ginseng King disappeared underground again.

Lin Xi returned to the building from earlier, but the Ginseng King passed by on the side.

So he didn’t enter.

Meanwhile, he gestured to his follower stationed not far from the door to protect Gu Xiaoxian; then he followed the Ginseng King.

Weaving through the village path, Lin Xi headed towards a grove behind the village.

But when he was within two hundred meters of the grove, his expression shifted to surprise.

Because he felt the groves were filled with Spiritual Qi.

Though faint to the point of disbelief, incomparable to a Secret Realm, its degree was similar to the Spiritual Qi at his villa.

That means, the amount of Qi wasn’t small.

Where there’s abnormality, there’s a mystery!

Additionally, the growth of this grove was excellent, but its area wasn’t large.

Judging by its appearance, the Spiritual Qi hadn’t been there too long, nor was it too brief.

Otherwise, this wouldn’t be just a patch; it’d likely cover the whole hill.

After all, it’s Spiritual Qi!

On Earth, Spiritual Qi had almost become extinct.

Additionally, Lin Xi also sensed the aura, which grew thick here.

Without hesitation, the man and the ginseng entered the grove.

For them, bravery comes from capability.

After advancing a little, the Ginseng King halted.

In a blink, it emerged from the ground.

By that time, it was unnecessary to stay underground.

Ahead was an extremely hidden entrance to a cave.

This entrance, even if Tang Rui and his team stood in front of it, wouldn’t be discovered.

Why?

Because there’s a concealment enchantment before the cave.

According to Lin Xi’s estimation, someone with a strength level above mid-level King of Soldiers might notice it and have a chance of breaking it.

"Let’s go inside for a look!" He remarked, stepping in with one foot.
