The man's expression suddenly changed, and a murderous intent surged in his eyes. His body rapidly grew larger, and boundless Black Qi emerged.

The farm tool in his hand transformed into a trident, making him resemble a humanoid monster.

He stared intently at Lin Mu, uttering a chilling voice.

"How dare you cause trouble here? Don't you know what kind of place our Yingshui Village is?"

"How dare someone like you act so presumptuously..."

But before he could finish speaking, Lin Mu's long sword suddenly fell down.

The violent Netherworld Power descended upon him.

The man's pupils contracted, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His wound emitted a sizzling sound, and a large amount of Black Qi dissipated rapidly, as if water vapor had encountered high temperatures.

He let out a painful scream.

A Second Tier Vengeful Spirit perished.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was filled with shock.

This is Second Tier Vengeful Spirit.

It is no ordinary Vengeful Spirit.

Yet even such a being was instantly killed with a single strike!

"I didn't see that wrong, did I? Second Tier Vengeful Spirit, killed in one strike?"

"That's incredible! How did he do that?"

"No wonder he dared to be so reckless, he had some tricks up his sleeve!"

"This must be some kind of technique used against Vengeful Spirit. That strike of his is no ordinary one!"

"..."

Many people are discussing this.

It deals such great damage to the Undead.

What would happen if it fell on a person?

Some people had the idea of making friends with them.

However, Lin Mu looked very aloof, exuding an icy aura.

The middle-aged man behind him gave off an even more unapproachable vibe.

Therefore, many people dared not step forward.

They were all worried that they would be killed instantly by him as soon as they got close.

Lin Mu remained calm and walked directly into the village, as if he had done something harmless.

At that moment, an elderly man with a stooped back, thin build, tattered clothes, and gray hair walked out from the side.

He looked at Lin Mu, a slight smile appearing on his lips, which sent a chill down one's spine.

He spoke slowly, his voice like that of a crow. "I never expected that our Yingshui Village would welcome such an honored guest. It was Niu Er who was ignorant and offended you just now. Please forgive him."

"I'm here to uncover the secrets of your village. If you know what's good for you, take me with you. Otherwise, I don't mind slaughtering the entire village!"

Lin Mu spoke calmly.

These Vengeful Spirit would be extremely powerful in the eyes of others, but in his eyes they were nothing special.

"It is an honor for our village that you wish to unlock our village's secrets, esteemed guest. I will take you there now!" the old man said with a smile.

After saying that, she turned around and led Lin Mu forward.

His steps were not fast, and he seemed slow, but if you followed him, you could tell that he was actually quite fast.

It's equivalent to the speed at which an average person runs.

As they walked, the old man said, "Yingshui Village is a peaceful little village with a simple and honest folk culture, and there have never been any disputes. However, since her arrival, the village has undergone earth-shattering changes!"

Lin Mu did not interrupt him, but listened quietly.

"She was originally a dancer, but for some reason she ended up in our village. She was very beautiful and knew how to please men. As soon as she entered the village, she attracted the attention of many men."

"Several strong men in our village were infatuated with her. They couldn't eat or sleep and just wanted to marry her."

"What we didn't expect was that she was haunted by Evil Spirit. On the third day after she arrived in the village, the Evil Spirit erupted, and a mysterious curse fell upon our village, turning it from an ordinary little village into a ghost village!"

"We have been searching for a way to break this over the years, but this Evil Spirit is extremely powerful and adept at bewitching people, which has kept us from succeeding!"

"If you can really uncover the secret about her, the people of our village will be very grateful to you!"

The old man said in a sinister tone.

Her speaking speed was neither fast nor slow, but it gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.

However, judging from her remarks, it's clear that the village was influenced by outsiders and became what it is today.

The key to the problem lies with that woman.

Lin Mu did not think about how to unravel the secrets of women.

In the face of absolute power, that's just a joke.

All he needs to do is see a woman and beat her up.

Then get her to reveal the secret, and everything will fall into place.

Following the old man, the two arrived at a well in the center of the village.

The well is surrounded by boulders, as if the villagers wanted to seal it off, which is why they piled them up here.

However, there were no rocks directly above the well.

Clearly, some force within the well dislodged the rocks.

The Black Qi here is exceptionally dense; centered on the well, the ground around it appears completely black.

That's a scene that only appears when corrupted by yin energy.

Even without getting close to the well, Lin Mu could feel a powerful aura emanating from it.

A sense of resentment permeated the entire well.

"This is it! Although we villagers have been affected by Evil Spirit and become like this, we are still too afraid to come close to this place. Please forgive us, esteemed guests!" the old man said.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly as he sized up the old man.

She simply stared at Lin Mu silently, her sinister eyes seemingly containing a hint of innocence.

It gives people a feeling of being neither fish nor fowl.

Lin Mu completely ignored what she said.

In his eyes, these Vengeful Spirit were all bad things, and their hands must have been stained with a lot of blood.

There's no need to be overly polite about these things.

"Bang!"

Lin Mu suddenly kicked the old man.

The old man was thrown out and landed near the well.

Anger flashed in the old woman's eyes. She hadn't expected Lin Mu to be so disrespectful to the elderly and children.

I brought him here, and he's still like this.

Just then, wisps of Black Qi surrounded her, as if the hands of women were clinging to her body.

The old man's eyes were filled with terror as he hurriedly said, "No, no, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me!"

But before she could finish speaking, she was pulled into the well, and a series of shrill screams rang out.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mu's pupils contracted slightly.

He could sense how terrifying the Vengeful Spirit in the well was.

The old man was Second Tier Vengeful Spirit, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back.

"It seems this is the secret of Yingshui Village!" Lin Mu said.

Although he didn't know much about the village, he was well aware that powerful beings often possessed more information in any given place.

With a well as powerful as that, Lin Mu simply couldn't believe she had absolutely no connection to the village's secrets!
