The town was shrouded in an unknown formation, and Zhang Zheng tried to leave, only to find that an inexplicable barrier appeared out of thin air, and the water rippled where it touched, seemingly soft but unbreakable.

All attacks were swallowed up as they landed on the barrier, nothing but rippled circles.

The town is not big, and Zhang Zheng and the others quickly searched for most of it, but they found nothing at all. The three senior brothers were nowhere to be seen, and the messenger was still dead silent without any response.

What's even more strange is that the two screams before were terrible, but the whole town was like dead, and no one came out to check the reason.

There was two knocks on the door, but there was no movement in the room.

But under the investigation of the divine sense, the people in the room were lying on the bed well.

Tan Ying looked concerned and glanced at the closed door.

"Senior Sister Zheng, we have knocked on more than a dozen houses, but no one is willing to open the door. Or ......"

She bit her lower lip timidly, and said embarrassedly, "Why don't we just break in?"

Hearing this meaty title again, Zhang Zheng still couldn't accept it, but no matter how she refused, Tan Ying skipped it as if it was the wind in her ears, and she would shout it next time.

Zhang Zheng had a cold face and rejected her proposal, "A person who cultivates the true path of righteousness, where can he do bandit acts." ”

She took two steps forward, and her divine sense detected that it was an old woman on the bed, who should have been awakened by the movement outside, and now she was huddled on the bed, her face frightened, maybe not asleep at all.

"Old man!" Zhang Zheng called softly, his lips pursed, "We are immortal cultivators, and we have come to eradicate demon cultivators, and we also ask the old man to open the door." ”

The old woman closed her eyes tightly, her eyelids trembled, she did not dare to answer, she did not want to open the door, and her attitude was very resolute.

The proposal was rejected, Tan Ying simply stood behind Zhang Zheng, leaned with her arms crossed, and watched her persuade bitterly.

A line of mockery flashed in his clear and pure eyes, and the corners of his lips curled.

Pedantic idiot.

Zhang Zheng couldn't hear her insults and disdain, it was extremely quiet here, so quiet that the whirring sound of the wind through the cracks in the door seemed to be infinitely amplified.

Panic, restlessness, calm, despair, anticipation, nostalgia......

All kinds of emotions are mixed and chaotic, seemingly incompatible with each other but harmoniously blended, intertwined with the breath of life, mixed into a gurgling stream and rushing to Zhang Zheng.

Zhang Zheng followed the old woman's gaze to the window lattice.

The window paper has been yellowed, and the corners are lifted, and it does not fall. A childish paper-cut flower is pasted in the center of the window, and the edge of the paper is roughly cut, as if it was made by a child.

Cold sweat broke out in the old woman's clenched palms, and a beautiful and bright red head rope stood out in the misty night.

An idea suddenly came to his mind, Zhang Zheng moved his lips, and finally spoke: "Old man, we have seen your little granddaughter, the little girl is very scared......"

These words were like a giant drum beating on the old woman's heart, incredulous and frightening...... In an instant, all kinds of emotions turned into muddy tears.

Unable to do anything else, the old woman fell out of bed with a rolling belt, and she stumbled to the door with a half-limp leg.

The door was opened from the inside, and the tear-filled eyes stared nervously and expectantly at Zhang Zheng, and the thin lips that climbed up the folds were dark and blue.

"Ninety-nine...... My ninety-nine, where is she? ”

Zhang Zheng calmed her down and said softly: "The little girl is very good, you tell us what happened here first, and when we eradicate the demon cultivator, we will take the little girl over." Good no good? ”

The old woman's expectant expression dimmed a little, and she welcomed them into the house in a dejected manner, and closed the door again.

Two months ago, the town was peaceful and joyful, with people who were self-reliant and neighbors who loved themselves.

But just a month ago, Li Laohu, who had gone up the mountain to hunt, never returned, and his son and daughter-in-law found a few neighbors to go up the mountain to look for him.

For the whole night, there were eight people in the group going up the mountain, and when they came back the next day, there were only four people left, and the sons and daughters-in-law of the old Li family were all gone.

The four people who came back were also half-crazy and stupid, no matter how people asked, they only said stupidly that there were monsters in the mountains, and all of them were eaten by monsters.

Later, a dozen people disappeared inexplicably, and no trace could be found, and they suddenly disappeared in the town before they went up the mountain.

For a while, people were panicked and the atmosphere was tense. More than half a month ago, someone hurriedly reported to the governor, and the governor said that soon there would be immortals to save them.

Thinking that the immortals would soon come, they waited in the town, gathered together with each other, and did not dare to go out alone.

As a result, he didn't wait for the immortals, but waited for the demon cultivator.

There were four people in total, all wrapped in black robes, and with a wave of their hands, the bodies of more than two dozen people exploded directly into a blood mist. Broken Pieces...... It scared everyone so much that they didn't dare to move. ”

"They didn't allow us to leave the town, and every night they would come to the town to pick people, sometimes two, sometimes three...... All those who were picked up were ...... They never came back. ”

The old woman remembered the horrible appearance of the corpses, and became frightened again, and her lips trembled, and she could not speak.

There are four demon cultivators!

Zhang Zheng and Tan Ying glanced at each other, Senior Brother Wu only saw two, and the other two were either ambushed in the town at the beginning or were just outside the town.

It's more likely to be outside the town, and if there are four people in the town, then they don't have to be so careful to sneak up on it.

So what is their purpose?

Bring them into the town, but not rush to kill them all, but just separate them. And they also succeeded, if it was to kill them, then they could completely besiege the lone man with four people, without much effort.

Most importantly, how would the Demon Cultivators know that they would come here?

Unless there is a mole leaking the news.

A terrible conjecture popped up, Zhang Zheng's eyes widened, and his heart beat like a drum.

"There is fraud!"

Shouting at Tan Ying, her figure turned into an afterimage, and she ran straight to the place where Cao Ran's body was first found.

Tan Ying reacted a step slower, and when she caught up, she saw Zhang Zheng standing in a dead end in a daze.

There was a faceless female corpse lying on the ground, and the storage bag of the disciples of the outer sect of the Wanxuanmen in a uniform style was turned over, and the inside was empty.

I also deliberately found a fake storage bag to confuse them, but I really thought that they would not look through the storage bags of the corpses of the same door.

In this way, the guess is nine times out of ten.

Tan Ying didn't know why, and was about to ask, when she suddenly felt the ground shaking, as if something was about to come out of the ground.

Zhang Zheng looked horrified, didn't care about his dislike for Tan Ying, and didn't care about explaining, so he grabbed Tan Ying and ran towards the border of the town.

The figures of the two were forced to a halt by the barrier.

The shaking of the ground continued, and the rippling barrier began to change as the ground moved, and ominous black smoke emerged from the ground, clinging to the barrier, and converging towards the top.

Zhang Zheng pulled out the dagger, the aura was surging, pouring into the dagger like a tide, the sharp aura was really like a concrete image, and a huge dagger phantom slowly condensed in mid-air.

"Boom-"

The dagger phantom slashed fiercely at the barrier, and the waves of water rippled violently, engulfing the dagger's attack like a black hole.

In just a few breaths, the terrifying phantom of the attack was consumed and collapsed.

Tan Ying had already vaguely guessed the reason when she saw the strangeness of the barrier.

She didn't use any magic weapons, and her bare hands gently touched the barrier. The flowing black qi touched her palm, but as if she had encountered something to fear, she scattered and fled in an instant.

A strange smile crept up Tan Ying's white and soft face, she quietly withdrew her hand, looking at Zhang Zheng's forehead drenched in cold sweat because of the gathering of phantom overdraft aura, her eyes were extremely gentle, as if she was looking at her beloved lover.

This scene was not noticed by Zhang Zheng, she devoted herself to the attack on the barrier, but the biggest attack she used all her strength was also vulnerable to collapse in front of the barrier.

"Senior Sister Zhang! Senior Sister Tan! ”

Suddenly, the voices of the three senior brothers were heard, and they hurried to the barrier, looking anxious.

Wu Ribin asked urgently: "What the hell is going on?" Have you met Mosho? ”

Now is not the time to talk carefully, Zhang Zheng made a long story short, "We have been deceived, the purpose of the demon cultivator is to lure us into the battle, and Cao Ran is likely to be the demon cultivator's minions." Now that the formation has been activated, there will definitely be great difficulties when the formation is completed. ”

This is not without shock.

They also noticed a change in the barrier, especially the billowing black clouds that were converging and swelling in the sky directly above.

The ominous nausea became more and more intense, as if it was about to invade the lungs.

Several attacks were ineffective, and the barrier was intact.

Several people looked at each other and smiled bitterly, their eyes full of unwillingness, but helpless.

So that the heavens should not be, and the earth should not be spiritual, but they will die here today.
