Chapter 893: with translation of chapter title

It shouldn't be possible for someone to sneak into the camp at night without being discovered; moreover, even if that were true, who the hell would be so bored as to go to all that trouble just to shave the heads of many disciples?

If it were just one or two disciples, one could still call it a coincidence.

But overnight, over a thousand disciples lost all their hair, which obviously couldn't be a coincidence.

Li Jianxin frowned, thinking it over, and the Elder below, seeing this, guessed.

"Sect Master, could it be the work of the Undying Race?"

After thinking it over, it seemed the only possibility, but upon hearing that, Li Jianxin gave him a sideways glance and said.

"You think it's possible? If it were the Undying Race, they'd be losing heads, not hair."

If the two sides were to go to war of extermination, would the Undying Race be sick or stupid? Come shave a few hairs for fun?

Hearing that, the Elder also gave an embarrassed smile, realizing he had overthought it.

"Let the Pill Master Alliance come take a look; maybe it's caused by injury or poisoning."

After thinking it over, Li Jianxin felt the most likely cause was poisoning or injury.

The Undying Race's methods are strange, and the Blood Refining Holy Land possesses means such as toxic blood.

If it were a aftereffect of poisoning, that would make sense.

Hearing that, the Elder nodded and replied.

"Yes, I'll go summon the Pill Master Alliance right away."

Not long after, the Myriad Sword Pavilion disciples who had lost all their hair were gathered together, and more than ten alchemists from the Pill Master Alliance, led by an Elder, began to examine everyone's bodies.

"Huh, strange."

"Is there something wrong, Elder Mo?"

Hearing that, the Myriad Sword Pavilion Elder beside him spoke nervously, "We just finished a battle and something like this happened?"

However, Elder Mo shook his head, then turned to look at the Myriad Sword Pavilion Elder and said.

"They show no signs of poisoning in their bodies."

"None?"

"Indeed, there is none; I can be certain, just..............."

"Just what?"

"Just that they have the same medicinal potency in their bodies; they must have taken the same healing pill before."

But that's not strange at all; the pills of all sects are uniformly distributed by the Three Holy Lands and the Pill Master Alliance.

It's normal for disciples to take the same healing pill.

"Then why is this happening?"

"It's not clear yet."

Even the Pill Master Alliance couldn't find the cause; when the news reached Li Jianxin, he could only say helplessly.

"Since it's not serious, let it be; tonight we must increase the guards and ensure this doesn't happen again."

"Yes."

There were no clues; fortunately, aside from losing their hair, those thousand disciples had no other problems and were in good health.

All day, the Undying Race side had no movement; meanwhile, the Human Race side, taking advantage of their great victory, launched an active attack on the Undying Race.

"The Holy Lands have issued an order commanding us to take the initiative."

At the Myriad Sword Pavilion, Li Jianxin worried about his disciples and prepared to launch an attack on the Undying Race.

However, it was clearly visible that among the many disciples of the Myriad Sword Pavilion, those shining bald heads were very conspicuous.

And those disciples who had lost their hair, facing the scrutiny of many senior brothers, couldn't help but blush.

Especially the female disciples, who were on the verge of crying out of grievance.

Being bald really looks awful.

But now is obviously not the time to worry about that; upon Li Jianxin's command, the Myriad Sword Pavilion disciples launched an attack.

Facing the Human Race's counterattack, the Undying Race side was obviously well prepared.

Thus the Human Race didn't gain much of an advantage either.

The Blood Refining Holy Land has always been avoiding the Dao Yi Holy Land; when facing the Withered Ghost Holy Land, the Exploring Cloud Hand isn't as effective.

Thus, after a fierce battle, both sides suffered casualties; seeing no opportunity, the Human Race also temporarily withdrew, and the Undying Race likewise did not choose to pursue.

It can only be considered a simple skirmish, with little impact on the overall situation.

After the battle, the injured disciples hurried to tend their wounds, while each sect held its own defensive line.

However, at the Myriad Sword Pavilion, after one night passed, damn it, several thousand more disciples became bald.

Upon hearing this news, Li Jianxin completely lost his composure.

After fighting hard for two days and barely withdrawing, they finally rested one night, only to have several thousand disciples shaved bald again.

Moreover, this time the number was even greater than before.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Sect Master, I... we don't know either."

"What does the Pill Master Alliance say?"

"Elder Mo has already examined them; just like before, there are no signs of poisoning, and their bodily injuries are not serious, so this shouldn't be happening."

The Pill Master Alliance still couldn't find any clues.

Hearing that, Li Jianxin gritted his teeth and said.

"Damn it, who is playing tricks on my Myriad Sword Pavilion?"

"What the hell does it mean to come shave heads every night? Are they taking my Myriad Sword Pavilion for having no one?"

And after another several thousand disciples became bald, the entire Myriad Sword Pavilion was filled with panic, especially the female disciples, who feared they might be next.

Senior sister, what should we do? Will I also end up like you? I don't want to become bald.

Get lost!

Several junior martial sisters gathered around a bald senior sister, staring at her shiny bald head, their eyes filled with terror.

They weren't afraid of the Undying Race, but seeing the senior sister's large bald head, they became scared.

They don't want to become like that; it's so ugly.

Seeing this, the bald senior sister was so angry her teeth itched; you guys are doing this on purpose, right?

Not only inside the Myriad Sword Pavilion, but this matter quickly spread throughout the Human Race.

The disciples of all major sects know that something strange has happened in the Myriad Sword Pavilion.

Many disciples were inexplicably shaved bald by something unknown, and for a while many people in the Human Race curiously discussed it.

In my hometown, there is actually a similar legend.

How so?

It is said there is a kind of evil spirit called the Shaving Ghost, which likes to shave people's heads at night, colloquially known as Ghost Shaving.

You mean this was done by an evil spirit?

Very likely.

More than ten disciples sat together, and one of them pretended to be mysterious in his speech, but soon someone nearby refuted him.

Nonsense about Ghost Shaving—today Tianhong Guan has over a hundred million cultivators, all the strong ones of our Human Race are gathered here; you can't say it's an evil spirit, even if the Ghost Emperor were alive he wouldn't dare approach, let alone Ghost Shaving.

Nowadays, within the Human Race's territory, anywhere could be troubled by evil spirits, except Tianhong Guan, because this place is crawling with cultivators.

What kind of evil spirit would dare approach here? It must really be tired of living.

Not to mention ordinary evil spirits—even if the Ghost Emperor himself appeared, he'd be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

There is completely no reasonable explanation, but Li Jianxin has been personally investigating.

Besides, after some investigation he actually found something; at this moment, Li Jianxin, returning to his quarters from among the disciples, muttered a name under his breath.

Sun Ming?
