After hearing Li Changsheng's furious roar, a middle-aged man clad in a green Daoist robe stepped out.
Li Changsheng was quite curious when he saw the middle-aged man in Daoist robes.
Judging from the man's attire, he was a Demon Hunter.
Since he was a Demon Hunter, why had he hidden in the shadows and attacked them? Li Changsheng could not understand it.
After hearing Li Changsheng's words, the middle-aged man in Daoist robes said coldly,
"Do not think I do not know who you people are. I clearly saw a young Female Ghost beside you just now."
"Now that the Female Ghost has vanished, it is directly related to you. Do you not understand that humans and ghosts walk different paths?"
"From your disguises, I can tell that you are cultivators as well. Why are you being so foolish as to keep company with ghosts?"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, Li Changsheng understood that there had been a misunderstanding between them.
Earlier, Lu Xuelian had been beside him, and this Demon Hunter must have seen her.
This Demon Hunter believed that they were people who raised ghosts, which was why he had attacked them. Thus, Li Changsheng said,
"Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. There was indeed a Female Ghost beside me earlier, but she was the daughter of a prominent family in Qinghe County."
"Unable to bear the humiliation, she died an untimely death in her home. Her wronged spirit came to me, hoping that I would seek justice for her. That was why we acted as we did earlier."
Li Changsheng then told the Demon Hunter about Lu Xuelian's circumstances.
The Demon Hunter was only half-convinced after hearing Li Changsheng's words, but then he recalled something.
Recently, an incident had caused a great uproar throughout Qinghe County.
