Bab 430: 429

Peony Town is known for its peony cultivation.

With a population of tens of thousands and a flourishing economy, it is a place of peace and prosperity.

However, when Shi Xiaole entered Peony Town, he felt an atmosphere of eerie self-guarding from the residents.

Some pedestrians hurried, some whispered in groups. With Shi Xiaole's sharp hearing, it was easy to discern that these townsfolk were discussing a recent mysterious murderer.

"A few days ago, disciples from the nearby Songshan Sect went to Peony Mountain. Out of thirteen, twelve were killed and one turned mad. Later, the Sect Master of the Songshan Sect took action personally, but then vanished mysteriously. Only after several days was his upper body found."

"Not just the Songshan Sect, many martial arts masters have come here recently, but they either died or disappeared. Sigh! It must be the Peony Girl who is not content with her wrongly inflicted death sentence, becoming a fierce ghost seeking revenge."
