A group of people returned to the wooden building, waited for a long time, and only after seeing that there was nothing unusual around them, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the doors and windows here are broken, resulting in an incomplete building, and some of the sage's articles are missing, there is still some power left, which can provide some protection.

As soon as he returned to the wooden building, Ji Yuan saw that nothing unusual had happened, so he immediately took out a few bottles of pills, and after swallowing them, he threw them to Xu Qiqi and the middle-aged nursing home.

After the three of them took the elixir, they sat down on the ground cross-legged and began to refine the medicinal power in it to recover their wear and tear and injuries.

In the previous two battles, it can be said that each time is more and more dangerous, and several people have wandered between life and death many times, consuming not only physical strength, but also their own energy.

If you don't recover in time, I'm afraid it will have a slight impact on your future practice.

After seeing the three of them close their eyes and refine the medicinal power, Jiang He and the four courtyard warriors glanced at each other, and then they all began to be on guard.

Except for Jiang He, who was guarding the three of them, the rest of the people all came to the doors and windows, and their eyes kept scanning the things outside back and forth, lest something strange suddenly happen.

An hour later, a layer of white light began to glow in the sky, and the three people in the wooden building woke up one after another.

"How does it feel?"

Seeing this, Jiang He immediately asked with concern.

Hearing this, the expressions of several people were different, but their faces were finally not so pale, and some blood color had recovered somewhat, and it seemed that the situation should be quite good.

"Although I haven't recovered, I've finally recovered somewhat, but I don't want to fight, I just can act."

Xu Qiqi shook his head, his current state is only slightly better than an hour ago.

The same is true for Ji Yuan on the side, although he has the help of the elixir, he is only barely able to act, and if he encounters danger, he will only be left with Fu Qi and Xiaobai in the Purple Mansion to fight against the enemy.

However, the middle-aged nursing home was in the best condition, he had not suffered too serious internal injuries, and at the moment, most of the external injuries had recovered, coupled with the physique of the martial arts, he actually retained most of his combat strength.

"Preparing to leave this place, we are most likely within the roots of the old locust tree now."

Ji Yuan glanced out the window and saw that it was calm, so he said in a deep voice.

Although they have a wooden building to shelter them now, who knows how much the missing sage article can play, if the old locust tree does it, a group of people will not be able to last long.

"But once we leave the wooden building, we don't have to rely on it anymore, what if the other party kills?"

The middle-aged nurse frowned and said, "And there are seven or eight female dependents upstairs, it is impossible to let them wait for death here." ”

If only a few people left, naturally there would be nothing to say, but they were all cultivators, whether they were martial artists or monks, their physique was far superior to that of ordinary people.

But once you bring a weak female dependent, not to mention whether it will become a burden if you encounter danger, it is difficult to increase this speed alone.

In case the old locust tree suddenly changed his mind and didn't want them to leave alive, it would be impossible to escape safely in time at this rate.

In addition, the people at this time did not have much self-protection left, and then lost the protection of the wooden building, and then took a group of female dependents with them......

The middle-aged nurse sighed and didn't say what was in his heart, but his demeanor didn't need to say much.

Even he was ready, he simply stayed in the wooden building and guarded these women, if he could be safe and sound in the end, it would be good, but if the crisis still came, he would use this life to make up for some debts.

All the martial artists of the nursing home, including him, always felt that they owed these people in their hearts, not only the cold corpse outside the wooden building, but also the desperate female relatives upstairs.

This is also the reason why those people before knew that there were nine deaths ahead, and they were not afraid to go.

"Even if there is danger, we must get out of here."

Ji Yuan glanced at him deeply: "These female dependents also have to be brought, if they stay here, they will definitely die, as for whether they live or die on the road, it can only depend on their own creation." ”

Although it seems to be calm now, it is only a superficial illusion, and the old locust tree may make a move at any time, whether it is to find sacrifices for the sake of seizing the house, or to kill people after the seizure is successful.

Only by leaving with them can there be a glimmer of life.

"Ask them, if you want to, bring them, if you don't want to, you can't force them."

After thinking about it, Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

In the end, only one of them was willing to leave with them, and the other seven women chose to stay in the wooden building, as if only by doing so could they bring a sense of security to their desperate people.

As for the woman who decided to leave, she was originally a concubine newly married by Zhao Wuxian, but she had just married into the Zhao family for less than half a month, and she suddenly suffered such a change.

But this is also for a heroic woman, after hearing that everyone was planning to break out of the Zhao family's mansion, she very simply tore off the skirt and tightened the cuffs and trouser legs with strips of cloth.

After a short time, a group of people left the wooden building, crossed the surrounding human purgatory, and headed towards the courtyard wall of the nearest house.

Before leaving, several martial artists brought a few bookshelves and blocked the broken doors and windows, and Ji Yuan even pasted a few talismans, which could be regarded as a more chance of survival for the female dependents who stayed here.

However, as they approached the nearest courtyard wall, it was still calm and quiet, and what they expected did not happen.

But the more this is the case, the more drums are beating in the hearts of several people, and their eyes are constantly looking around, always feeling that there may be danger somewhere at any time.

Eventually, in a state of nervousness and vigilance, a group of people finally came to the foot of a wall, behind which was the street outside the mansion.

Although it is not that you can be completely out of danger when you come to the street, it is a watershed in the eyes of everyone.

"We ...... Safe? ”

When her feet stepped on the street outside the Zhao family's mansion, the heroic woman muttered to herself.

Her expression was a little excited, her eyes were unconsciously full of tears, and she subconsciously glanced back at the high-walled mansion, worried about the people left in the wooden building.

At the same time, she was also a little glad that she chose to leave with these people, otherwise if she stayed in that place, even if no one killed her in the end, she would probably go crazy uncontrollably.

"Let's go, we're not completely safe yet."

Ji Yuan glanced back, and took the lead along the street.

The crowd didn't walk too fast, fast enough for the woman to trot to keep up, in addition to a few people who were seriously injured, but also with the idea of retaining some strength, and if there was danger, they could also have the strength to fight.

However, after a group of people completely walked out of the square area where the Zhao family was located, there was still no danger.

It's as if neither the old locust tree nor the person who is secretly planning the layout intends to do anything superfluous against them.

This feeling of being forgotten made several people a little uncomfortable, but they finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, at least they didn't have to worry about being attacked and killed at any time.

"Are we going to the county government now?"

The middle-aged nurse looked back with palpitations, and then turned to Ji Yuan and asked.

Hearing this, Ji Yuan shook his head without thinking: "Go to Xuantian Temple first, something has happened in the city in the past two days, and the county government is probably no longer safe." ”

Several martial artists looked at each other, although they were a little puzzled about what had happened, but no one would question Ji Yuan's words.

However, as soon as they walked out of two or three streets, their expressions suddenly changed, and they entered the battle state as fast as they could, and then looked at the corner a few feet away with a solemn face.

If you listen quietly, you will find that there are many slightly messy footsteps coming from this silent night.

If it was placed in normal times, I'm afraid no one would care about this, but everyone had just broken out of the danger, and the tense nerves at the moment had not completely relaxed, so they would naturally be extremely sensitive to any sound.

While everyone was waiting nervously, several figures finally appeared in their field of vision, but in an instant, they were ready to take the lead at any time.

"Senior brother!"

After seeing the person who came, Xu Qiqi suddenly shouted in surprise.

Before her words could fall slowly, an afterimage flew by, and then Zhao Yuansong's figure appeared in front of everyone.

Despite Xu Qiqi's shouts, several martial artists in the courtyard were still vigilant, as long as the other party had the slightest misdeeds, they would send the sharp blades in their hands to the vital points around them as soon as possible.

"You ......"

Zhao Yuansong's eyes froze, and after seeing the injuries on several people, a murderous aura suddenly appeared in his eyes.

However, after all, he had walked through the rivers and lakes, and knew that this was not the time to ask carefully, and because there were other things, he immediately changed his words: "Go, go back to Xuantian Temple first." ”

Ji Yuan and the others nodded, and they also saw a trace of anxiety and solemnity in the depths of the other party's eyes, but the time was wrong, so they didn't immediately ask.

Just as a few people were talking, seven or eight more people rushed over, and they were all caught in the county office.

It's just that these usually majestic catchers are now embarrassed, although they have not been traumatized, but they are all covered in dust and dust, and they have obviously experienced some twists and turns.

"Thousand Yu City...... I'm afraid it's going to be a big disaster! ”

Zhao Yuansong whispered, and then motioned for a few catchers to disperse, guarding the surroundings of everyone, and then rushed towards Xuantian Temple without saying anything.

No one spoke along the way, each with their own thoughts, and the night was really difficult for everyone, but fortunately, no matter how difficult it was, it was now successfully survived.

When the morning sun slowly rose, a group of more than ten people finally came to the Xuantian Temple, they passed through the small alleys outside, poured into the Taoist temple one after another, and sat on the ground in the side courtyard.

The young nurse martial artist, at Ji Yuan's instructions, went to the stove room to get a teapot and some porcelain bowls, and poured the tea that had been left overnight for everyone one by one.

As the cold tea entered their throats, a group of people felt a little more comfortable, and the heat of running all the way was dissipated a lot.

And the tea of Xuantianguan contains a little aura, although it cannot directly improve cultivation, but it can well relieve the fatigue in everyone's body.

"What the hell is going on?"

After drinking a bowl of cold tea, Ji Yuan hurriedly asked, and at the same time, his eyes were vague, and he glanced at the seven or eight catchers, and he was also wondering why Zhao Yuansong appeared with them.

Hearing this, Zhao Yuansong was silent for a while, and then he told him in detail about what he had encountered that night.

The situation in the city now is basically the same as what Ji Yuan speculated the night before, not to mention other places for the time being, the City God Temple, which was supposed to protect one side, is indeed a big problem.

Including Lord Chenghuang, as well as several of his spiritual officials, a total of nine gods enshrined in the City God Temple have already been assassinated, and they have fallen into the demon path one by one, not to mention, and even their minds have been controlled.

This is also the fundamental reason why there are demons and evil in the city, but the City God Temple does not pay attention to this.

Because even the gods in it have been turned into puppets, who else can be expected to suppress the evil demons?

"I was lucky enough to break through the realm between life and death, and with some hole cards and door techniques, I was able to hit Chenghuang's golden body hard."

Zhao Yuansong said in a deep voice: "In the end, after killing the three spirit officials who were turned into puppets, I took the opportunity to rush out of the City God Temple, planning to go to the county government to see if I could find help." ”

This is also the plan they had set earlier, if something did happen to the City God Temple, then Zhao Yuansong would have to go to the county government to try to get some help.

It's just that this line is secretly dangerous, although there is no direct evidence, but the current county government must have been infiltrated, as for whether it is the county official who is being manipulated, or someone who holds power, there is no way to speculate.

And after Zhao Yuansong arrived at the county office, he didn't even see the face of the county official Yuan Yongcheng, so he was surrounded by a group of catchers, and the leader was one of the three catchers.

These people all had hideous faces, although their eyes were shining with fierce light, but they were not the slightest bit smart, plus their bodies were overflowing with demonic energy, and they were obviously controlled by demonic means.

"After some fighting, I found them in the county office."

Zhao Yuansong paused, then turned his head to look at the few catchers on the side.

When Zhao Yuansong knocked out the people who were controlled, he found several catchers who were tied up by Wuhua in a warehouse.

At that time, Master Sun Youfang was using demonic means to manipulate these fast-catching minds one by one, turning them into puppets under his hands.

In fact, under this kind of demonic method, the people of the entire county government have basically been controlled, and even the fast catchers who should have been on a rotational break have been deceived by false orders.

"I don't know if Yuan Yongcheng is also controlled, but I suspect that he is likely to be a pawn of the people who laid out the scenes in the first place."

After he groaned, he spoke out his conjecture.

If the county official Yuan Yongcheng had no problem, he was just a master, even if he had cultivated to the second realm, it would be impossible for him to control almost the entire county government quietly with demonic means.

As for Zhao Yuansong's conjecture, although he was a little reluctant in his heart, Ji Yuan could only accept it temporarily.

It's just that he really can't understand why his parents, who are deeply loved by the people and are known for their honesty and benevolence, would be the pawns of the people behind the scenes, and even sat down to kill like this.

In Zhao Yuansong's description, in order to perform the Demon Dao Technique, Master Sun Youfang has killed all the servants in the entire county government, and used their blood to control the mind of catching fast.

More than 20 lives passed away on this night that should have been peaceful.

"Wait, where is Liu Hongsheng?"

Ji Yuan was slightly stunned, and immediately looked up at Zhao Yuansong.
