Chapter 883: The Fugitive

Chapter 883

The Haoyang Empire covers a vast area.

The monstrous river that Xiao Zhan is going to now is the longest river in the Haoyang Empire.

It took Xiao Zhan half a day to rush to the monstrous river, and then flew all the way along the riverbank.

The target river is still a long way from him.

On the way, Xiao Zhan found many people who were fleeing.

They dragged their families with their mouths, and they were already tired and tired.

Xiao Zhan slowly landed on the bank of the river and walked towards a group of people who were sitting on the ground resting in the distance.

It can be seen that this should be a village, there are about a hundred people, there are not many young and strong, only a dozen, and everyone is injured.

The rest are all old and young, women and children.

Although Xiao Zhan was not wearing any brocade clothes, he was just a gray cloth robe, and he even wore his hair loose.

But the dusty temperament on his body still made these people show a look of fear.

Xiao Zhan tossed the wine gourd in his hand to one of the bearded men who looked like the leader.

The big man stretched out his hand full of scars to catch it, then opened the stopper and sniffed it, and after confirming that it was wine, he poured it violently, and then handed the wine gourd to the other men.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" The bearded man stood up, his sturdy body, nearly two meters tall, but a little shaky.

Xiao Zhan nodded lightly and asked casually:

"Are you fleeing?"

The bearded man nodded, and said with a painful expression:

"There is a great demon in the monstrous river, and many villages have been destroyed."

"If we hadn't run fast, I'm afraid we would have become food in the demon's mouth!"

Xiao Zhan frowned.

Because the target area is at least 100,000 miles away from its current location.

Even if these people were to flee, they would not be able to go so far in their lifetime.

So there are only two explanations.

Otherwise, there were other big demons nearby, which were not Xiao Zhan's original goals.

Otherwise, the big demon has already moved to the nearby river area.

And Xiao Zhan only knew that the big demon had the strength of the merge realm, as for whether it was the early and middle stage of the merger, or the late stage or the peak, and even what the big demon's body was and what it looked like, Xiao Zhan didn't know anything.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan opened his mouth and asked:

"What does that big demon look like?" br>

The bearded man shook his head:

"I can't see clearly, it's huge, and every time it comes up, the water in the river splashes hundreds of feet high."

"Those who were close had already been slapped into the river before they could see the appearance of the big demon."

Xiao Zhan turned his head and looked at the river thousands of meters wide next to him.

The bearded man arched his hand:

"I see that Your Excellency is not very human, so it is better to get away from the riverbank, lest the innocent suffer."

"That big demon might come out at some point!"

Xiao Zhan's face was full of doubts:

"In that case, why do you still walk along the riverbank?"

The bearded man was full of bitterness:

"We are all fishermen who make a living from fishing."

"If it's too far from the riverbank, we'll run out of food!"

Xiao Zhan let out an "um" sound.

Right now.

A white light swooped in from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a flying boat more than ten zhang long landed on the ground.

Two men and a woman jumped out of the flying boat, both of whom were not very old, both wearing white robes embroidered with rich patterns in gold.

Seeing these three people, the surrounding villagers, including the bearded man who took the lead, hurriedly clasped their fists.

Two men and a woman straightened their backs and raised their chins to sweep over the crowd.

Just this action can see the disdain in their eyes.

"Are you fleeing?"

Spearheaded

The bearded man nodded hurriedly:

"Three...... Hello three immortals!"

He was so nervous that he was sweating profusely:

"There is a big demon in the river, and we are fleeing."

The young woman snorted coldly, stepped forward and said:

"The three of us are the inner disciples of the Weiming Sect!"

"You take us to search for that big demon, and we'll kill it!"

The bearded man's face changed greatly, and he quickly knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing:

"Three immortals, spare your life!"

"That big demon is too terrifying, we can't send it to death!"

The woman frowned:

"Are you deaf?"

"I said, we are the inner disciples of the Weiming Sect!"

"Just a demon beast, I can kill it with a sword!"

"It's your pleasure to let you lead the way!"

"After all, the three of us are probably the only immortals you will ever see in your life!"

The burly man's eyes were red.

He looked back at the other villagers and said:

"Take care, I'll lead the way for the three immortals!"

An old man with gray hair trembled to his feet:

"Li Hu, you can't die, you still have to take everyone to live!"

"I'm an old man, I don't have a few days to live anyway, so I'll lead the way."

Li Hu shook his head:

"No! As long as we have one person alive, we can't let the old and the young, the women and the children go to die!"

The woman of the Wei Ming Sect was full of displeasure:

"You mortals, it looks like you're really going to be deaf!"

"What I just said is, all of you, show us the way!"

"Therefore, none of you should be missing!"

Li Hu hurriedly kowtowed, his eyes split:

"Three immortals, there were originally more than a thousand people in our village, and now there are only us left."

"Please, I'll show you the way, okay?"

More than a dozen other big men also quickly knelt down and shouted:

"Let's lead the way, ask the three immortals, let the others run for their lives!"

But the three disciples of the Mighty Sect were indifferent.

The old men and women also knelt down one after another:

"Immortals, please, we can all lead the way, let the children run for their lives!"

The woman of the Wei Ming Sect smiled disdainfully:

"Otherwise, you will lead the way, and when the big demon appears, we will kill the big demon, so that you may still be alive."

"But if you don't lead the way, you will be blamed for my ruthlessness under the sword, and you ants will be slaughtered here!"

Li Hu stood up suddenly, pointed at the woman of the Weiming Sect and roared:

"You want us to be bait to lure that big demon to show up!"

"You have such a vicious heart! You are immortals in vain!"

"Humph!" The woman of the Wei Ming Sect sneered, and her figure flashed, and she appeared in front of Li Hu without warning, and raised her hand to slap Li Hu's heart.

The fierce wind suddenly made Li Hu's face pale.

But Li Hu's eyes widened, and there was no fear in his eyes.

But if this palm really hit Li Hu's heart, Li Hu would definitely be blown up on the spot and turned into a cloud of blood mist.

At the critical moment, a hand slowly stretched out and grabbed the wrist of the woman from Wei Mingzong.

She turned her head sharply and narrowed her eyes to stare at Xiao Zhan:

"Let go of your dirty hands!"

"I am a member of the Prestige Sect, what right do you have to touch my hand!"

Xiao Zhan asked expressionlessly:

"Prestige Sect, isn't it amazing?"

The cold light in the woman's eyes flashed:

"Look at your poor sour dress, you should be a casual cultivator!"

"Even if you're a casual cultivator, you should

I've heard of the reputation of our Prestige Sect!"

"In this Haoyang Empire, we are a powerful sect, but we can be ranked among the super forces in the previous life!"

"What kind of dog are you, you dare to touch my hand!"

As soon as the words fell, the long sword held by the woman in her other hand flew out violently.

After a piercing sword roar, the sword rolled up hundreds of sword qi and stabbed at Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan's face didn't have any emotion, just glanced at it, and saw hundreds of sword qi suddenly explode.

At the same time, Xiao Zhan then shook.

The woman's wrists, arms, and shoulders were all shattered into powder in an instant.

She screamed and flew upside down.

The other two members of the Wei Ming Sect woke up suddenly, drew their swords one after another, and rushed towards Xiao Zhan one left and one right.

Xiao Zhan slowly raised his hand.

In the next moment, the ground began to tremble violently.

Pieces of dirt and stones rose from the ground and shot out towards the two men.

In just an instant, the two of them were wrapped into two huge stone balls.

Xiao Zhan's five fingers were folded.

In the next moment, two stones exploded, and the two men of the Prestige Sect did not even have any bones left.

The pupils of the screaming woman who fell to the ground contracted violently.

She had forgotten the pain, and her face was full of fear.

Because she has realized that the plainly dressed person in front of her is an existence she can't afford to provoke!

Xiao Zhan slowly stretched out his hand.

An irresistible force immediately took the woman and flew in front of Xiao Zhan.

She fell to her knees, kowtowed in panic, and her voice trembled:

"Seniors spare their lives!"

"It's the juniors who don't know Mount Tai because they have eyes, and I beg the seniors to spare my life for the sake of our prestige sect!"

Xiao Zhan shook his head slowly:

"I already said that."

"You prestige sect, nothing counts."

The woman's face turned pale, and she quickly climbed a few steps forward and put her face on Xiao Zhan's leg:

"Senior, I'm good-looking, as long as you spare my life, I will be your maid in the future, and I will listen to you for everything!"

Xiao Zhan's face was still calm.

"No, you're ugly."

After speaking, Xiao Zhan raised his feet.

The woman was kicked into the air in an instant, and fell heavily in front of Xiao Zhan, the whole person was already dying, blood gushing out of her mouth, and her whole body was twitching.

Xiao Zhan slowly asked:

"The big demon in this monstrous river has the strength of the Merge Realm."

"What kind of thing are you, and you dare to say that you can kill with a sword?"

The woman's eyes were full of despair.

But she still chose to answer Xiao Zhan, hoping that Xiao Zhan would spare her from dying.

"Former ...... Senior, I didn't know that the big demon in the river was a combined realm."

"There are many people who post tasks on the rivers and lakes, saying that the big demon that appears in the monstrous river is just the Jiedan realm."

"We...... We want the demon pill in the body of the great demon."

Xiao Zhan frowned:

"Is it a mission issued by the Tuoba Imperial Family?"

The woman shook her head:

"No...... It's not."

"Someone anonymously posted missions all over the Haoyang Empire."

Xiao Zhan's face was calm, and with a wave of his hand, the woman flew into the river and quickly sank to the bottom.

Since she wants to use these villagers to lure the big demon to show up, let her feed the fish first.

Xiao Zhan turned his head and looked at Li Hu and the others.

They were already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Xiao Zhan constantly.

"Immortals, thank you for saving your life, please accept our worship!"

Li Hu shouted and led the villagers to thank Xiao Zhan.

As soon as Xiao Zhan waved his hand, with a gentle force, he took Li Hu and the others to stand up straight.

He spoke slowly:

"I am the Tenth Peak Master of the Xiuyuan Sect, and I have been entrusted by the Imperial Family to come to kill the Great Demon."

The great name of the Xiuyuan Sect is extremely admired even by mortals.

After all, this is the most powerful immortal cultivation sect in the Haoyang Empire.

Even the royal family calls themselves disciples of the Xiuyuan Sect!

Li Hu's eyes are red:

"If the immortal comes forward, the big demon will definitely die!"

"The people on both sides of the strait finally have a way to live!"

Xiao Zhan nodded slowly:

"Do you want to return to your homeland, or do you want to find another place to live?"

Li Hu kowtowed to Xiao Zhan three times:

"We want to go back to the village!"

Xiao Zhan said "um":

"Then you will walk with me."

After speaking, Xiao Zhan sat down cross-legged and looked at Li Hu and the others:

"Rest for half an hour, and set out in half an hour."

Li Hu nodded hurriedly, and then respectfully, holding Xiao Zhan's wine gourd in both hands and handing it to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan took it and tied it around his waist, and then closed his eyes to recuperate.

Half an hour later, Xiao Zhan took Li Hu and others and continued along the riverbank.

Along the way, Xiao Zhan saw a lot of fertile fields and houses that had been washed away by the river.

Xiao Zhan also saw villages that had been turned into ruins.

Li Hu took people and walked by the river.

Xiao Zhan stood a hundred meters above the river and walked in the air.
