Chapter 57: The Executioner

Qin Zhen passed through the teleportation array and came to the no-man's land again.

This time, she was not attacked suddenly, but passed through the protective formation directly and smoothly.

Previously, she and Qiu Sixian had reached a cooperation to obtain benefits by teleporting the paroxysm. However, those monks who wanted to use the private teleportation array were not directly brought here, but through the formation that Qiu Sixian built on the basis of this teleportation array, they used this place as a transit station, and finally went to their destination.

Their destination is certainly not a no-man's land.

Before Qiu Sixian came to Xingzhou, he also had teleportation arrays in other states, but now he only opened Xingzhou's protective formation through Qin Hao, so that he could link to the formations that remained in other states.

Qin Zhen guessed that Qiu Sixian should have a basic teleportation array as the core, and the other teleportation arrays should be based on that core formation. As long as you go to that core formation and make it clear where you want to go, you can reach your destination, and you don't need to have a teleportation array corresponding to the location like other private formations.

But a core formation like this is already technically very close to a regular formation under the management of the Six Dao Alliance. I don't know what Qiu Sixian's origin is to be able to do this. In this way, Qin Zhen wanted to share half with him at the beginning, but he still took advantage of him.

Qiu Sixian didn't say it, and Qin Zhen wouldn't ask, but she didn't have much trust in Qiu Sixian in her heart, and she didn't have much anymore.

This time, because Qin Zhen was not injured, she landed steadily in the grass.

The scene in front of me was still the same as last time, but this time I didn't see the monk with the little red bird on his shoulder, who called himself Cui Yu.

Qin Hao gathered spiritual power from his hand, and the spiritual power was like fire, instantly igniting the surrounding grass, burning away like a flower blooming.

Qin Zhen stood in the center of the fire, and the flames snuggled up to her affectionately like a child.

However, no matter how high the fire was, the grass did not become scorched, but became more and more shiny, and the sound of laughter came from nowhere, and the voices of men, women, and children mixed together, making the laughter eerie.

Qin Hao silently withdrew her spiritual power.

It's unusual, and she'll need to go deeper to get more clues she wants.

Qin Zhen raised her eyes and looked in the direction where Cui Yu took her last time, and without hesitation, she walked towards that side firmly.

This time, she hadn't gone far before she saw the wall in the distance, but it looked dilapidated and didn't look like it had any defenses.

Qin Zhen became vigilant, and the Spirit Gathering Formation in her body suddenly operated to the maximum, and now that she had built a foundation, the range she could sense was far larger than before.

But when the spiritual power touched the city wall, she didn't feel any other spiritual power, the city wall was so broken that it would be almost impossible to connect it with the city wall if it weren't for a plaque hanging above it.

When Qin Zhen walked in, she saw the words on the plaque-

Occultation City.

The words were blurred, covered in a thick layer of dust, and it was vaguely recognizable from its shape.

Qin Zhen suddenly remembered that when she first saw Cui Yu in no man's land, he said that he was going to go to the Sun Occultation Sect with his junior sister to ask for medicine.

At that time, she thought it was just a lie casually woven by Cui Yu, but now that she looks at it, does it turn out that there is still a truth?

Qin Hao's spiritual power entered the city without hindrance, and within the city range she could sense, she still didn't sense any other monks, but she could feel that there were living creatures inside.

Qin Hao finally glanced up at the words "Occult Sun City", and then stepped into the city with his feet raised.

As soon as she entered the city, the yellow sand covered Qin Hao's sight, Qin Hao waved her hand, and her spiritual power turned into a cyan barrier that shrouded her inside from the invasion of yellow sand.

Although her vision was restricted, Qin Hao could feel that there was no one on the street, only the surrounding houses, and she could sense a little sign of activity.

Qin Hao walked to a room and stopped, knocking on the door.

The person inside exclaimed at once, but the sound was instantly suppressed, and there was no further sound, sounding like the mouth was covered by the person next to him.

Qin Zhen was about to push the door in, but the hem of her clothes was suddenly pulled: "Sister, are you here to kill us?" So can you kill me and mom first? ”

A skinny boy stood beside her, staring blank and speaking slowly, but with a clear voice.

He didn't seem to have any attack power, but he didn't even notice his approach, and the Spirit Gathering Array didn't react. Qin Zhen squatted down, her palm gently pressed against his neck, and she felt the normal beating before she said slowly, "Where are you and your mother?" ”

"In the shed at the front." As soon as the boy heard her ask, his originally dead eyes suddenly glowed.

Qin Hao followed him and walked forward, looking at his excited appearance, and asked, "Why do you want to be killed first?" ”

The boy turned his head in a daze: "Dad is dead, Mom said that we are all bad people, and we must be killed by you to atone for our sins, but you only killed Dad last time, and Mom and I can only wait for you to come back." ”

The boy spoke without hesitation.

Qin Zhen thought of the family that was too scared to speak out just now because she knocked on the door. If this kind of thinking had been ingrained here, then the person just now would not have reacted that way, which is not in line with the performance of this little boy now.

Now that she has the initiative to talk, she doesn't have to force the door into the room, lest she have trouble communicating with the frightened person.

It's just that this little boy was able to get close to her directly without being sensed, and then said such strange words, Qin Zhen was not sure if he could get along with him and his mother normally. After all, now that he feels that he is the one who came to kill them, he will take the initiative to lead her way, and if he sees his mother and finds out that she is not the one who executed her, I am afraid he will not pay attention to her anymore.

The little boy did not have spiritual power as a barrier around him, but he walked in the yellow sand, but he did not react at all, and walked straight to the shed in front of him.

He lifted the curtain and walked in first, and said happily: "Mother, the person who killed us is here, and we can finally go to die." ”

A weak cough came from inside: "Ahem...... Really, bring them in. ”

Qin Zhen walked in and saw a woman lying on a mat.

The mat hadn't been cleaned for some time, and it had a faint stench, but the boy and woman didn't seem to smell it.

The woman heard Qin Hao's footsteps, and sat up forcefully, but when she saw Qin Zhen clearly, she was stunned, and hesitated: "My lord, are you the executioner?" ”

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhen asked rhetorically.

When she's not smiling, she still looks extremely intimidating. The gentle face and cold voice in the past are inexplicably terrifying.

The woman panicked all of a sudden: "I'm not trying to question you, don't kill me!" It's just that you don't look like the previous executioner...... cough cough cough ......"

She coughed violently because she was too quick to speak.

Qin Hao moved his fingers silently, and the boy and woman stiffened, and then passed out uncontrollably.

She took out the clean clothes from the storage bag, covered them, and fed them each a weak elixir to prevent them from dying in a coma because they were too weak.

Originally, Qin Zhen wanted to ask a few more questions and get a little more information, but they looked too sick and weak, and Qin Zhen couldn't scare them anymore, so he could only let them rest first.

Now, Qin Hao can confirm that this place is real, and it is not Cui Yu's trick to deceive her again.

This is a no-man's land recognized by everyone, ordinary monks can't reach here at all, and only the sect masters of each sect or the high-level of the Six Dao Alliance can come here.

The closest states to this no-man's land are Xingzhou and Yuanzhou.

Qin Hao was not familiar with the specific situation in Yuanzhou, but in Xingzhou, she was not completely sure who would do so.

Because she didn't understand what the purpose of killing these mortals was like this, if she didn't know the purpose, she couldn't pour out the people behind the scenes from the profits.

However, not everyone here has been brainwashed, at least the family who knocked on the door at the beginning did not want to carry out the so-called "atonement".

Qin Zhen didn't believe that there was anything that could allow mortals to atone for their sins to immortal cultivators, and it was almost the same to reverse the two.

She walked out of the shed, made a trick with her left hand, hid it, and went back to the room where she had started.

The front door of the room had opened a small crack, and a small head poked out from it to look around, and when he saw Qin Hao coming from the yellow sand, he hurriedly closed the door in a panic.

Qin Zhen passed through the door and said softly, "I'm not here to kill you. ”

There is no reaction inside.

"If I were the executioner, I would have been able to kill you even if you were hiding in the house, instead of standing in the door and talking to you like I am now."

seemed to think that Qin Hao had a point, and the door opened with a "squeak".

There was still only a small slit open, and a pair of dark eyes looked out at Qin Zhen from the crack in the door.

“…… Come on in. The voice sounded like a very young female voice.

Qin Zhen pushed open the door, and as soon as he walked inside, the person who was originally hiding behind the door suddenly rushed out, raised his axe and slashed at Qin Zhen fiercely.

Without any suspense, Qin Hao restrained the man, then reached out and took the axe from her hand and threw it away.

And the young girl who opened the door for her, when she saw her sister being pressed to the ground, cried and jumped up and hugged Qin Zhen's legs: "My lord, let my sister go!" You kill me first! I am more sinful and useful than my sister, so kill me! ”

"Don't beg these demons for mercy!" The woman who was pressed down said viciously, "Go and pick up the axe!" ”

Qin Hao sighed and let go of his hand: "You should have seen the executioners, you should also know what iconic items they have on them." ”

The woman who was scolding angrily didn't react for a while because she was suddenly let go. When she came back to her senses and was about to get up to retrieve the axe, her gaze slid over Qin Hao's face, and then she froze in place.

Her sister clung to her side in fear: "Sister, she doesn't have that sign on her face......"

"Shut up! I told you to go and get an axe, but you didn't dare to move! The woman pushed her sister away, stepped forward in a few steps, and stared at Qin Zhen tightly: "You are really not the executioner?" So how did you get here? And how did you come up with this name? ”

"I went to the front shed first, and the mother and son inside told me so."

"Hmph, it's their ......," the woman snorted disdainfully, "those fools whose brains are burned." ”

"My lord, are you here to save us?" After confirming that Qin Zhen was not the executioner, the young girl looked at Qin Zhen with tears in her eyes and full of hope.

"......" Qin Hao was silent for a moment, and then said gently, "I'm not, I'm here to find a way to save myself." ”
