329: Looking for Wang Xiaole

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, we absolutely cannot let him go! Otherwise, he will surely become a major threat in the future!"

"Miss Qingluo, then this so-called Evil Soul Sect, wouldn't it be a Sect formed by Evil Attribute Martial Artists banding together?"

Zuoqiu Qingluo nodded slightly and said softly, "You're quite quick-witted, kid. Actually, these Evil Attribute Martial Artists are quite pitiful. The mass killings during their Awakening are not their original intention; they are just unable to control the power within their bodies."

"And this Evil Soul Sect was founded by Evil Attribute Martial Artists who have grown stronger. They will absorb Martial Artists who Awaken evil-attribute Battle Qi from all over the nine provinces, bring them back to the Sect for training, and continuously expand their influence."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen was startled.

"Although these Awakeners are not at fault, the innocent common people who were sacrificed are even more innocent. This is a simple arithmetic problem: for the safety of the general populace, these Evil Attribute Martial Artists must be eradicated, and the Evil Soul Sect, this cancerous tumor, must be destroyed!"

Zuoqiu Qingluo sighed lightly and said in a deep voice, "My reason tells me that your judgment, Da Zhuang, is correct. Although I still feel some pity for them."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Aren't there still some survivors? We'll ask them to gather information about this Awakener, then you help me divine his hiding place, and I'll go eliminate him."

Zuoqiu Qingluo nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Immediately, the two came before the survivors.

Of the more than a thousand villagers in Wang Family Village, there were now only a dozen or so survivors.

The destructive power of Evil Attribute Martial Artists was truly too strong!

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I am Lord Lu Dazhuang, a Peak Master of the Lingyun Sect and a Martial Ancestor Expert, ordered to handle this case. Do you recognize this Martial Artist who Awakened evil-attribute Battle Qi?"

Hearing Lu Xingchen's words, a commotion immediately broke out in the room.

"Recognize him, of course we recognize him! Lord Lu, that kid is named Wang Xiaole, just ten years old this year, a child from our Wang Family Village."

"Wang Xiaole has a very bad reputation in Wang Family Village. His father is a gambler, and his mother is a sickly person. He often came to our homes for meals and can be said to have grown up eating from many households."

"Born into such a family, it's already very difficult for him to survive. Not only does he show no gratitude, but he also kills our villagers. He's truly an ungrateful wretch!"

"Exactly, exactly! That kid is simply not human! My wife and children all died by his hand, Lord Lu, you must uphold justice for us!"

Most people were accusing and cursing Wang Xiaole, but only one white-haired old man offered a different opinion.

He hurriedly said, "Lord Lu, Wang Xiaole is a good child. This time, his brutal actions against us must have been for a reason. I hope you investigate thoroughly before making a decision."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned and said in a deep voice, "Elder, how did you come to a different conclusion?"

The white-haired old man said in a deep voice, "My name is Wang Yi. My younger relatives are all out on training, and haven't returned home for many years. I rely solely on myself, weaving straw sandals in the village to make a living."

"Xiaole came to work for me to earn a living, and I had a lot of contact with him. He never slacked off while working and was very filial to his parents. Logically, he wouldn't do such a thing."

"When that incident happened, I personally saw him disembowel a villager. Just as he was about to attack me, I called his name, and he suddenly clutched his head and cried, rolled on the ground several times, and then turned and fled. This shows that he still has a conscience."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned and looked at Zuoqiu Qingluo, saying in a deep voice, "It seems that Wang Xiaole hadn't completely lost consciousness when he Awakened his evil-attribute Battle Qi."

Zuoqiu Qingluo shrugged and said in a deep voice, "I don't know either. I don't know much about Evil Attribute Martial Artists. If you really want to ask, it's better to ask someone from the Evil Soul Sect."

"But the members of the Evil Soul Sect harbor great hostility towards outside Martial Artists and have always holed up in their Sect, rarely coming out."

Hearing Wang Yi's words, the other Wang Family Villagers in the room were furious.

"Conscience? When he drained my wife dry, why didn't he think about conscience? And I even gave him food to eat; he's truly an ungrateful wretch!"

"Exactly, exactly! Lord Lu, this Wang Xiaole is truly rotten to the core, you absolutely cannot let him go! You must seek justice for the deceased villagers of Wang Family Village!"

"This Wang Xiaole is a scourge. If he really escapes, who knows how many more people he will harm in the future!"

"Evil cultivators are truly terrifying. How could our Wang Family Village encounter such a thing?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, everyone. Anti-corruption requires evidence, but anti-terrorism only requires a list. I will definitely bring back Wang Xiaole's corpse."

Upon hearing this, old man Wang Yi's face turned pale, and his heart was filled with despair.

He still wanted to say something, but Lu Xingchen interrupted him.

Lu Xingchen patted Wang Yi's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Old man Wang Yi, since you are very familiar with Wang Xiaole, please draw me a portrait. It will help me find him."

Wang Yi nodded slightly, sighed heavily, and said with a bitter smile, "I still hope Lord Lu can give this child a chance and not mistakenly kill a good person."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "When I find Wang Xiaole, I will ask him for clarification."

Wang Yi didn't say much more. He took the paper and pen from a soldier nearby and drew a portrait of Wang Xiaole.

Lu Xingchen carefully examined the portrait, then handed it to Zuoqiu Qingluo, saying in a deep voice, "Miss Qingluo, now that we have his personal information and a portrait, it shouldn't be difficult to divine Wang Xiaole's location, right?"

Zuoqiu Qingluo nodded slightly and said softly, "No problem, leave it to me! Give me a quiet room, and you stand guard outside for me."

"Okay!"

An hour later, Zuoqiu Qingluo emerged from the room, marked a spot on the map in red, and said softly, "Da Zhuang, Wang Xiaole is hiding on this mountain in the Wangshu Mountain Range. If you set off now, you should be able to find him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen was startled.

Although he had heard legends of the Tianji Pavilion before, he was still somewhat surprised when he personally saw Zuoqiu Qingluo pinpoint Wang Xiaole's location.

This ability to locate someone from a distance was truly a bit terrifying!

Although Zuoqiu Qingluo's combat ability was not as good as Peng Yu's, her miraculous divination technique was in no way inferior to Peng Yu's powerful Soul Power.

Indeed, none of the eight prodigies of the central province were simple individuals.

These two were already so powerful, so what kind of miraculous powers would the other six of the eight prodigies of the central province possess?

He truly looked forward to the day he would meet them!

Zuoqiu Qingluo said in a deep voice, "Da Zhuang, there's something I need to remind you about."
