Ling'er's cries of anguish let Jun Wu Xie quickly learn what the Sacred Maiden Tribe was doing in the dark.
It was evident that the Sacred Maiden Tribe was dependent on the youth potion that Elder Luo had concocted to maintain their youthful appearances despite possessing weak spiritual powers. And in order for Elder Luo to create this youth potion, she needed test subjects but she also could not use anyone from the tribe to conduct such heinous experiments. Therefore, she set her sights on those servant girls who had been brought along by powerful men when they were invited to the Holy Mountain.
And Ling'er was the victim of one such instance. Ling'er was just an ordinary maid, and in terms of the benefits that Li Wan Ting had received from the Sacred Maiden Tribe, even if a servant girl went missing in the Holy Mountain, he wouldn't be bothered by it. And he wouldn't cause a scene just for Ling'er.
