Chapter Seventy-One: Arriving in Crouching Tiger Town

The next day, the four of Mu Yan, the city lord of Cangtong Town, Master Hongzhen, and the leading deacon of the branch of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sect set out from Quqing City and headed for the Sunset Forest.

Bai Xue seemed unusually silent along the way, although it was no different from her usual indifferent appearance, but Xiu Ye was slightly behind on the way, flying beside Bai Xue, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Senior Sister Bai seems to be thinking something?"

Bai Xue glanced up at him, "Senior Brother Xiu is interested in asking Senior Sister what I'm thinking, so it's better to spend more energy researching how to deal with those plagues." ”

Xiu Ye sneered, "Research, what is there to study, those people are clearly not suffering from some plague, but are contaminated with some demonic energy." ”

"Oh, my brother seems to know a lot?"

"Heh, understand, it's not understanding, it's just..." Speaking of this, Xiu Ye paused, and looked at Bai Xue with a smile, "This plague, Senior Sister Bai doesn't have to be afraid." ”

Bai Xue frowned secretly, what does Xiuye mean by this?

"What are you guys talking about. At this moment, Mu Yan's deep voice came from the front.

Bai Xue raised her eyebrows, and before she could say anything, Xiu Ye said lazily on the side: "I'm not talking about anything, I'm just talking about some major life events." ”

Hearing this, Mu Yan's aura around him dropped by a degree, making the Hongxiu real person who was following him look inexplicable, and the deacon suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

Bai Xue's face was black, and she glanced at Xiuye helplessly. Xiu Ye snorted and laughed, and then everyone found that the temperature around Mu Yan was one degree lower.

Bai Xue flew away from Xiuye, this person always looked heartless, unobtrusive, and she didn't have the leisure to deal with him now.

After Bai Xue flew away, Xiu Ye restrained the usual smile on the corner of his mouth. Then his eyes turned slightly to look at Mu Yan's figure, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an arc of unknown meaning.

As for Huo Kui, who had not spoken from beginning to end, she was at the end of the crowd, she paused, looked at Bai Xue's back, her hands were secretly clenched into fists, and coldness flashed in her eyes. It's just that no one notices this scene.

All the way to the west, the farther west, the more parasitic the monks were seen, but Bai Xue just watched all this silently, without saying a word.

At night, they arrive at a town called Crouching Tiger.

As soon as she entered, Bai Xue noticed that there were almost no people in the town.

This place is not far from the Sunless Forest, and ordinary monks can reach Sunset City in about a day's flight, and it is precisely because of the proximity that it is rarely populated, and this Bai Xue can understand.

Because this human world is not the demon world, because the demon is too weak, although it can survive, its ability is affected by the amount of demonic energy. Perhaps, just as Red Scales guessed, there must be a loosening of the blockade in the Sunless Forest, and it is infiltrating the Heavenly Khotan Continent with demonic energy. This is why the farther away from the Sunless Forest is, the festering condition of those monks will be delayed, and that is because the speed at which the Demon absorbs its life essence in its body and destroys its immortal cultivation foundation slows down.

But what puzzled Bai Xue was that along the way, she still saw some monks with severe festering bodies who did not leave. These people have been corrupted by the demons, but they have not left.

The branch deacon who followed on the side seemed to see Bai Xue's doubts, took the opportunity to curry favor, and said respectfully, "Senior Sister Bai, are you wondering why these people didn't leave?"

Bai Xue turned her head to look at the middle-aged man who called herself Senior Sister and nodded.

The man smiled flatteringly, "Senior Sister Bai doesn't know, these people are all people who are incapable of calling for help, or they know that they are going to die if they can't ask for help, they must stay here because they grew up here, they didn't leave, and they spent their last days here." ”

So that's the case? Bai Xue looked at those people and felt sorry in her heart. It's not that she's cold and ruthless, and although she knows what the symptoms are on them, there's nothing she can do with her abilities. No matter what she could do, she wouldn't be a saint who saw one and saved another.

Mu Yan took them to an inn at random, there were almost no people in the inn, only an old shopkeeper in the foundation building period was drowsy in front of the counter, and he didn't wake up until the arrival of Mu Yan and the others, he looked at them in disbelief, and didn't understand why someone would come to this Crouching Tiger Town at this time.

Because his cultivation was too low, he couldn't see through Mu Yan's cultivation, and he only felt an overwhelming coercion. But as a shopkeeper for many years, he has his own eyesight, and he saw that the deacon's heart-warming cultivation was showing a respectful posture next to Mu Yan and the others, and he understood that Mu Yan and the others were probably amazing monks.

He hurriedly stepped forward, "The master..."

"Bring us six upper rooms. The deacon of the branch of the Wanshan Sect interrupted him and said.

"Okay, okay, please. After speaking, he immediately led six people up. He did everything by himself, there was no way, at this time most of the people in the town had already left, and he couldn't even recruit a buddy.

After entering the room, Bai Xue stayed in the room and sat on the bed to meditate and rest, and the red scales also slipped out of her hand and came out of the window, Bai Xue just glanced at it and closed her eyes to breathe.

These days, Red Scales will always go out alone, and Bai Xue doesn't ask, when she reaches the cultivation level of Red Scales, it is impossible to stay in Bai Xue's sleeves all day long, although I don't know what she went out to do, but it must be beneficial to her own cultivation recovery. Because Bai Xue could feel her aura increasing day by day.

In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, Crouching Tiger Town seems even quieter.

Bai Xuepan sat on the bed, and at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly opened, his eyes were sharp, and the demonic energy on his body exploded. She reached out and grabbed the air in front of her, it was obviously empty, but Bai Xue's hands were like living creatures struggling. Bai Xue's eyes sank slightly, and the other hand was sealed, and the invisible living creature quieted down.

But then Bai Xue immediately threw the invisible creature in his hand into the storage ring, and then the demonic energy in his body was retracted and replaced with pure aura.

After she had done all this, the door opened, and Mu Yan entered the door to see Bai Xue standing in it unharmed, secretly relieved, and after Mu Yan, it was Na Xiuye who followed.

Mu Yan swept around and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Next door to Bai Xue's room were Mu Yan and Xiu Ye, her demonic aura at that moment, both of them were aware of it, and now that this place is close to the Sunset Forest, any trace of unusualness is worth paying attention to, not to mention, Mu Yan felt a strong fluctuation of demonic qi at that moment just now.

Bai Xue shook her head, frowned slightly and looked at the window, and said, "I was meditating and resting just now, and I suddenly felt a strong demonic aura, but that demonic aura disappeared from the window in an instant. ”

Bai Xue's voice was faint, and there was no flaw in telling lies. Acting, she is better than anyone else.

Mu Yan frowned tightly after hearing this: "This place is not far from the Sunless Forest, Senior Sister be careful, Wusun Forest, I'm afraid there will be monsters wreaking havoc." ”

Bai Xue's eyelids jumped, monster, it seems that Mu Yan knows something.

"Senior Brother Mu, don't worry. Bai Xue replied lightly.

Mu Yan nodded, Bai Xue was farther than he imagined, he didn't have to worry, but he still couldn't help but tell her, after all, in his eyes, her cultivation was only a period of spiritual silence.

He looked at the window with a thoughtful expression, then nodded slightly at Bai Xue, and left to go back to his room, Xiu Ye After Mu Yan left, the whole person leaned against the door frame, glanced at Bai Xue, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, but left without saying anything.

After making sure that the two of them were leaving and returning to the room, Bai Xue punched an enchantment in the room, and she could detect anyone coming.

Then she grabbed the creature from the storage ring, and with a slight movement of her palm, she saw that the creature in her hand that was not clear gradually appeared, it was a black sticky mass, it squirmed in Bai Xue's hands, and only two eyes were left in her body.

Bai Xue frowned as she looked at this strange creature that looked like colloids and gas.

It just so happened that at this time, Red Scales climbed in from the window, saw the creature in Bai Xue's hand, and said in surprise: "Demon?"

Bai Xue turned her head, "You mean this is the Demon of Bi?"

Red Scales turned into a human form, walked in front of Bai Xue, carried the creature with a disgusted expression, and without any movement of her hands, she saw the mass in her hand turn to ashes, and before that, Bai Xue heard a small but piercing scream.

Red Scales said, "Where did this come from?"

"When I was meditating, I noticed that something seemed to be approaching, and I don't know where it came from. ”

"Hey, it looks like these guys are still up to you, and I really don't know if they're alive or dead. ”

The corners of Bai Xue's mouth curled, "It turns out that those disciples were invaded by the Demon in this way." This demon is not as strong as imagined. ”

"That's for you, some low-level monks can't even detect the existence of the demon, let alone catch it. Red Scales said nonchalantly.

"And, most importantly, Immortal Cultivator, it's not so easy to stop this demon. ”

Bai Xue nodded, then sat back in place with her knees crossed, preparing for tomorrow's trip. You'll be able to reach Sunset City tomorrow, and you'll have to put yourself in peak shape just in case, and who knows what you'll encounter there.

In the other direction, Wanshan Zong Qingyin Peak, in front of the small bamboo forest cabin.

The flowing immortal looked in the northwest direction, his face was indifferent, and one of his eyes turned completely black, making the whole person's aura a little weird.

He frowned tightly and let out a long sigh: "The demon clan is coming again, this time, who can stop ......"

[ps: Daily nagging: I chatted with a friend today, knowing that I was writing a novel, he looked at my novel, and said, "Your novel doesn't seem to be read by many people? He said, "Then you still write?" I looked at him in surprise, why don't you write. His words made me feel emotional, speaking of which, I have been in contact with online literature for a long time, about seven years, from liking to reading a story to wanting to create a story, I have always been keen on it. Now there are so many books and so many excellent works in the online literature world, and I don't think this article is very good, and it's normal that not many people read it. But as a person, I've always believed in my beliefs, I just want to write one or more stories for others to see, even if only one person likes them, I will stick to it until the story is over. So, how can I get more people to see my book?(Serious only three seconds laughing) So, the angel who really likes this book remembers to recommend a lot of publicity (laughs), how about you give this advertisement? (smile)]
