Chapter 17: The Bloody Array
Xiao Xuan looked the man up and down, he was about twenty years old, and he was handsome, but he was not very good at hiding his hostility.
"I'm not called Hanako, if I have to say what I'm called Hanako, it's the saint's favorite Hanako."
Wu Ziyue sneered, but the other party always kept a straight face.
"How can you make fun of the Holy Maiden?"
"Okay, don't quarrel with the two of you, Xiao Xuan, you leave first, I still have something to say to Lin Xiu."
"Maybe you two will have a chance to meet in the future."
It was already evening when Xiao Xuan returned to Yanshan City.
However, Yanshan City seemed to be a little lively tonight, and even some shops that closed early on weekdays were still lit up.
Xiao Xuan didn't care about these and walked straight towards the Six Gates.
As soon as I walked into the lobby, the receptionist greeted me warmly.
"It turned out to be Xiao Patrol, we have received news from Fenglingdu, this is the one hundred and fifty taels of silver that Zhu Patrol promised you before the arrest."
Xiao Xuan took the silver and began to inquire about the news.
"Does the receptionist know what is going on in Yanshan City tonight? Why are the streets so busy tonight? ”
The receptionist looked incredulous.
"Patrol Xiao, don't you know that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"According to the usual practice, Yanshan City will hold a Mid-Autumn Festival party on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and almost all the residents of Yanshan City will participate in it."
Xiao Xuan suddenly realized.
"I see, these festivals have not been celebrated for thousands of years, and they are somewhat forgotten."
Walking out of the Liudaomen branch of Yanshan City, Xiao Xuan bought a bunch of sugar gourds and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"I don't know when Lord Xiao will be able to come back, I hope he won't forget my sugar gourd......"
Xiaoqing sat on the stairs outside Xiao Xuan's room, looked at the moon and muttered to herself.
Suddenly, a sugar gourd appeared in front of her eyes.
"Xiaoqing, do you want to go out and experience the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Xiao Qing's face was flushed with red light, and she suddenly stood up from the stairs.
"Lord Xiao, you're back!"
Then she became embarrassed again.
"Although Xiaoqing also wants to go out, slaves like me are not allowed to go out......"
Xiao Xuan stuffed the sugar gourd into her hand, pulled Xiaoqing up and walked out.
"Don't worry, no one dares to say anything about you when you go out with me."
At the same time, Zheng Kang was in the room.
Zheng Kang sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, while Zheng Shuofeng stood aside and waited.
"I heard that the second blood guard is also dead?"
Zheng Shuofeng nodded in confirmation.
"Yes, my father, and according to the informant's description, his body was not even found at the scene."
Zheng Kang gasped.
"This Xiao Xuan is so terrifying, so it seems that his strength is far above mine."
"Our plan must succeed tonight, as long as I can successfully break through, no matter how powerful he is, Xiao Xuan will not be my opponent."
Zheng Shuofeng smiled smugly.
"Father, rest assured, the Blood Demon Array has been arranged, and everyone who steps into the Blood Demon Array will become your nourishment when the time comes."
Besides, Xiaoqing, since the moment she stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion, she was like a little girl who had just entered the city, no matter what she saw, it was a new thing to her.
After a while, she was exhausted and out of breath.
Still, it couldn't stop her intense curiosity, and no matter what she saw, she had to get closer and take a closer look.
"Why did the slaves and maids of the City Lord's Mansion escape? It's a terrible situation. ”
Because the clothes of the slaves and maids of the City Lord's Mansion were extremely recognizable, it didn't take long for someone to recognize Xiaoqing's identity.
Seeing that the other party was born with a tiger's back and a pair of eyes as big as copper bells, Xiaoqing was so frightened that he lowered his head and kept shaking.
"I brought Xiaoqing out, do you have any questions?"
Xiao Xuan asked rhetorically as he protected Xiaoqing behind him.
Xiao Xuan is also a well-known figure in Yanshan City, and almost everyone knows that he defeated Zheng Shuofeng.
Therefore, there are few people who dare to provoke him in Yanshan City.
It's just that the person on the other side doesn't seem to be afraid of Xiao Xuan.
"I thought it was who, it turned out to be the complacent garbage patrol that defeated Zheng Shuofeng."
"Do you know who your grandfather and I are?"
"Lao Tzu is the county magistrate of Baiyan County, if you dare to make a move on me today, you will be against the imperial court."
While speaking, he deliberately stretched out his face and motioned for Xiao Xuan to hit it.
Xiao Xuan didn't talk nonsense, stepped forward and slapped him in the face with a palm, fanning him several meters away.
"It's the first time I've heard such a cheap request."
"The last person to talk to me like this was the county lord of Tianshui County, do you think I have something to do now?"
The magistrate of Baiyan County stroked the swollen right side of his face and stood up.
"Okay, you really dare to hit me, Xiao Xuan, you wait for me, I will report this matter to my superiors early tomorrow morning, and you will regret it when the time comes!"
The people watching the play around couldn't help but sweat for Xiao Xuan in their palms.
You must know that no matter how small Baiyan County is, it can be regarded as a county seat.
And he, Xiao Xuan, actually dared to make a move against the county order, which was undoubtedly challenging the authority of the imperial court.
Xiao Xuan didn't care about this, turned around and pulled Xiaoqing up and continued to walk around.
At the end of the street where the two men were located was a wide flat land, and at this time the flat land was already crowded with people.
"Lord Xiao, it's a lion dance!"
Xiaoqing desperately squeezed into the crowd, and when she saw the lion dance in the center of the venue, she was so excited that she almost jumped up.
Xiao Xuan lifted Xiaoqing up and put it on his shoulder.
"If you like to watch enough, I'll take you out to play tonight."
Xiaoqing was very happy to look at the lion dance, but halfway through the lion dance, a blood-red magic circle suddenly appeared in the air.
As the magic circle slowly fell, almost half of Yanshan City was enveloped.
In just a few tens of seconds, someone began to fall to the ground and convulsed, and the crowd immediately fell into panic and fled in all directions.
Xiao Xuan picked up Xiaoqing and jumped to the nearby roof.
"It's actually the Blood Demon Array, it seems that the group of people from the Blood Demon Sect don't want to wait for a moment?"
Xiao Xuan took out Wu Ziyue and handed it to him, and handed it to Xiaoqing.
"This is the Blood Demon Array, which will continue to absorb the vitality of the people in the circle."
"You drink this, although it can't completely guarantee your safety, but at least it can protect you for a while."
With that, he took Xiaoqing into the room under his feet, and he rushed out to find someone to maintain the formation.
"The Blood Demon Array needs the beneficiary to continuously inject mana to maintain it, and you only need to find him out to crack the formation."
"That person must be either Zheng Shuofeng or Zheng Kang."
"It's just that they must not be stupid enough to cast a formation in the City Lord's Mansion, where the hell are they......"
Xiao Xuan was like a headless fly, spinning around in the formation without a clue.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he stopped.
"Last time, the Chaos Holy Body helped me feel the Yin Qi of the Corpse King, can you also help me find the guy who maintains the formation this time?"
