Volume 1: Illuminating Mountains and Rivers Chapter 55 The Disaster of the Zhao Family

In the wooden building, as Ji Yuan's words fell, the faces of a group of people immediately changed.

seemed to recall everything that had happened in the past two days, and everyone, including Old Man Zhao, couldn't help but have deep fear on their faces.

The three of them noticed that even those martial artists who were guarding the courtyard were trembling slightly at the moment, not to mention those domestic servants who had no force, and they almost fell to the ground with weak legs.

Ji Yuan subconsciously turned around and glanced at the two people behind him, although he had expected it, he didn't expect that what happened in the past two days would have such a big impact on these people.

However, when I think of the human purgatory outside the wooden building, I can also understand a thing or two, if it were them, I am afraid it would not be much better than these people.

Just by looking at them before, their mood almost collapsed, although this was also related to the shallowness of the experience of the three of them.

"Old Man Zhao, what happened in the past two days?"

Ji Yuan took a deep breath, and then asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Old Man Zhao smiled miserably, and with the support of the two servants, he turned around and sat on the chair, and then stretched out his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit together.

After Ji Yuan, Xu Qiqi, and Jiang He sat down, he silently poured a few cups of cold tea, and then stared at the teacup in front of him, and his thoughts fell into memories.

After repelling the evil creatures, the Zhao family was indeed stable for a night, who would have thought that the next morning would not come, and an accident would envelop the entire Zhao family's mansion.

Before the arrival of the Buddha's dawn, a yin wind and evil aura appeared in the sky above the mansion for no reason, and there was a terrible cry of fear in the heart.

The heart-rending wail woke up everyone in the Zhao family, and when everyone looked up at the sky, a rain of blood suddenly poured down.

The entire Zhao family was instantly filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and countless blood rains fell on the ground, and soon converged into streams of water.

At that time, the old man Zhao discovered that these streams of water gathered by the blood rain formed a strange pattern on the ground of the Zhao family's mansion, and as the blood rain continued to fall, this pattern became more and more complete.

Although I don't understand what happens when this weird pattern is completely complete, even if I think about it with my heels, I know that it will never be a good thing.

It's just that before Old Man Zhao gave the order on how to deal with the situation in front of him, even if there was a yin wind and evil qi falling from the sky, roaring through the mansion.

But all ordinary people who are blown by this evil wind, even if they will bleed from the seven holes and most of their yang energy will be dispersed, it is more like they have seen some terrifying scene, and they have to go crazy and run rampant in the house.

What's more, as if they had lost their minds, they kept doing self-mutilating actions, either hitting themselves on the head and bleeding, or constantly cutting their bodies with sharp blades, allowing the blood to flow out.

More than ninety percent of the servants and servants of the entire Zhao family went crazy, and even began to fight with each other, and the sound from their mouths was even more like that of a powerful ghost from the underworld.

At first, there was a martial artist who would try his best to stop these people, but after finding out that it was useless, he didn't know what else he could do.

In the end, under the order of Old Man Zhao, all the martial artists of the courtyard gathered in the main mansion and silently listened to the ghost-like wails outside the courtyard wall.

"You just watch quietly, not looking outside for help?"

Xu Qiqi's eyes widened, and a little anger couldn't help but appear on his face.

However, after Old Man Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "Do you think we haven't tried to send someone to leave the mansion and go outside to find help?" ”

When the blood was pouring down, he sent several henchmen with good military force, planning to go to several gangs and ask the county government for help.

It's a pity that these weakest are all in the early stage of the Skin and Flesh Realm, and the strongest is the domestic servants in the middle of the Skin and Flesh Realm, but as soon as they leave the scope of the Zhao family's mansion, they will be blown away by a gust of evil wind.

And the white skeleton will eventually be carried by the evil wind and thrown in front of them, as if to warn everyone not to try to leave the mansion.

"And what happened after that?"

Ji Yuan continued to ask, and at the same time gave the girl a look, asking her not to interrupt the other party's words first.

And after Old Man Zhao exhaled heavily, he continued to tell them what happened later.

On that day, when the dawn passed, the rain of blood in the sky finally stopped, and the long-standing desperate wails in the mansion disappeared in an instant.

But the real purgatory on earth has just begun......

A handmaiden and a servant, like a walking corpse, converged towards the house, and they slammed down the courtyard gate, climbed over the fence, and pounced on a famous martial artist with teeth and claws.

An indescribable battle ended, and inside and outside the courtyard where the residence was located, there were terrible corpses everywhere, both the servants of the Zhao family and the martial artists of the courtyard.

These handmaidens and domestic servants are like madmen who don't know pain, and even if their hands and feet are broken, they will squirm and attack with their own teeth.

Once submerged in the sea of people, the warriors of the courtyard will be torn apart by these madmen, and there will be no way to survive at all.

"There are a total of fifty-seven martial artists in the Zhao family, and in the end, there are only eighteen left."

Old Man Zhao sighed softly, his face full of heartache and bitterness.

These martial artists are the foundation of the Zhao family, and they are the confidence that they can become a family of three factions.

And in addition to these martial artists, ninety percent of the Zhao family's maids and domestic servants died in this battle, and it is no wonder that those martial artists are ruthless, if they don't do so, they will also be torn to pieces.

It's just that even though there are all kinds of reasons, when they think of this time, the surviving martial artists of the nursing home can't help but hang their heads, and some young people can't help the tears in their eyes.

"If I guessed correctly, those people were already killed when they were infected by the rain of blood and the evil wind blew, and what they fought with you was nothing more than the corpses manipulated by evil spirits."

Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said a few words of comfort.

Sure enough, after listening to his remarks, more than a dozen martial artists subconsciously raised their heads, and their eyes finally glowed with a little anger, at least not as painful as before.

As for whether Ji Yuan's words are true or not, it is not for these people to care, what they need most now is only to be appeased, so that they can have a reason to feel better.

"After that, a man who exuded evil aura all over his body walked out of the evil spirit."

Old Man Zhao whispered in a low voice, but there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.

According to him, after the man came out of the evil wind, he just punched five old servants in the middle of the flesh realm into the air, and if the other party was a little more ruthless, these servants would be seriously injured and their foundations would be completely destroyed, even if they were not killed on the spot.

In the end, it was Old Man Zhao who made a move, and with more than a dozen powerful talismans, plus at the cost of destroying a heavy weapon and seriously injuring himself, he temporarily repelled the man.

This is the opportunity for a group of people to escape here, otherwise, now that Ji Yuan and the others have broken into the Zhao family's mansion, it will be impossible to see them again.

"So you've been hiding here for two days?"

Ji Yuan frowned, if this is the case, I am afraid that these people here may not be able to have many clues about that evil thing in their hands.

Hearing this, Old Man Zhao bowed slightly, saying that if he hadn't spent a lot of money in his early years to invite a Confucian scholar to copy the sage's articles for this wooden building, I am afraid that there would be no place for them to hide for two days.

"That evil thing, at least it is also a cultivation of the obstacle breaking realm."

Old Man Zhao said with a gloomy face.

The so-called barrier-breaking realm is actually the cultivation of the second realm's 'spiritual realm', but because of the cultivation of this realm, it is necessary to break through the physical obstacle with soul light, so it is often called the barrier-breaking realm.

As soon as these words came out, although Ji Yuan and the three of them had already prepared in their hearts, after they really confirmed it, they couldn't help but change their expressions.

In fact, it's normal to think about it, Old Man Zhao is within a radius of hundreds of miles in Qianyu City, and he can rank in the top three by force, relying on the realm of this half-step muscular and bone realm martial artist.

And those who can force him to be like this, except for those who are gifted and have cultivated peerless exercises, there are only monks or martial artists above the second realm.

It's just that in this way, if they can save their lives on this trip, it will already be considered a flood of blessings, and it will be more and more difficult to find out the evil things here and the plans of the people behind the scenes.

But fortunately, the wooden building here is copied with the sage's article, which is estimated to be from the hands of a certain Confucian monk in the second and third realms, which can resist the evil things outside and cannot enter.

So despite the danger outside, as long as they stay in the wooden building, they can be safe.

Next, they only need to wait quietly, whether Zhao Yuansong and they can move in to rescue the troops, or whether a day or two later, the elders of the three realms of the Nine Xuanmen will arrive, and they can easily solve the current crisis.

And the person who planned all this behind the scenes should not lead the overall situation in advance because of them.

"It's just a pity that the sage article on the outer wall of the building is estimated to last only another half a day, and then it will dissipate in heaven and earth because the aura is exhausted."

Old Man Zhao suddenly sighed, and his face was full of helplessness.

Hearing this, Ji Yuan nodded in agreement, the number of sage articles that were large enough to fill the stairs, if it dissipated between heaven and earth like this, it would indeed be a very pity.

"Wait! What do you say? ”

Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up from the chair and looked at the old man in front of him with wide eyes.

After seeing the other party's puzzled face, but still nodding his head very seriously, he immediately sat back in the chair as if he had lost his soul.

On the left and right sides of Ji Yuan, Xu Qiqi and Jiang He looked sluggish, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, silently reaching out to cover their foreheads, they didn't quite understand, it was obviously a matter of life and death, why this old man's focus was on the pity that a sage article was about to dissipate.

"Old Man Zhao, please tell me, even after the sage's article dissipates, he still has a back hand, which is enough to resist the evil things outside!"

Ji Yuan looked at the old man in front of him, his expression was unprecedentedly serious.

However, the other party was at a loss at the moment: "What...... What's the back hand? ”
