Chapter 45: The Strange Taojiazhuang

The next day.

Ye Zihan came to the rendezvous place early.

It didn't take long for Zhu Feng and the three of them to arrive one after another, and seeing that Ye Zihan had already come here, Zhu Feng smiled and said hello.

"Now that we've arrived, let's go now." Zhu Feng said after seeing that everyone had arrived.

"Don't drag us back!" Zhao Xue said to Ye Zihan with some frowns.

Zhao Xue didn't understand in his heart, why did Zhu Feng team up with a disciple of the eighth layer of condensation, if he really encountered a ghost, the ninth layer of condensation might not be safe and sound, let alone an eighth layer of condensation?

She was already a little dissatisfied with this yesterday, thinking that Ye Zihan realized that her strength was insufficient and gave up the task, but today Ye Zihan was the first to arrive, so she couldn't help but reprimand.

She is an old disciple, so naturally she doesn't pay much attention to the new disciple's Dabi, although the strength of the top few Dabi has surpassed her, but her strength is still stronger than the vast majority of new disciples.

Ye Zihan nodded and didn't say anything.

Zhao Xue saw that Ye Zihan didn't even say a word, so she thought that Ye Zihan was afraid, and she had a little more contempt for Ye Zihan in her heart.

"Okay, don't make any noise, Brother Zihan Zhao Xue is also worried about her safety, don't be surprised." Zhu Feng explained.

"It's okay, I'm used to it". Ye Zihan smiled.

He is indeed used to it, Liang Wuji, Qianye, who doesn't look down on him, thinking that he can be suppressed by turning his hand, but in the end? Liang Wuji was killed by his sword, Qianye was defeated in the Great Competition, and those who were stronger than him would eventually be surpassed by him.

Besides, Ye Zihan didn't take Zhao Xue in his eyes at all, and Zhao Xue would definitely not be able to get out of three rounds in his hands.

After the hiccup, the crowd headed east.

Qiyun Mountain Range, the closest and largest mountain range to the Qixuan Sect in the east, is comparable in size to the Cold Moon Mountain Range. However, because of its high altitude, the mountain peaks rise into the sky, and the top of the mountain is covered with clouds and mist all year round, so it is called Qiyun Mountain Range.

And the biggest feature of this Qiyun Mountain Range is that there are far more flying spirit beasts than other mountain ranges, so the Qiyun Mountain Range is also a place where many disciples and elders accept mounts. After all, flying spirit beasts are fast and agile.

Taojiazhuang has to pay tribute to Qixuanzong every year a certain number of flying spirit beasts and spirit stones, so the importance of this Taojiazhuang is self-evident.

Tao Xing, the owner of Taojiazhuang, cultivated to condense the ninth layer of condensation, and now died mysteriously, and this Taojiazhuang has also lost contact with Qixuanzong, Qixuanzong naturally can't stand by, but the danger of this task can also be seen, so such a high reward is offered.

Ye Zihan and his entourage came to Qiyun City at the foot of the Qiyun Mountain Range, and planned to rest here for a while, and then go to Taojiazhuang, by the way, to inquire about the news here, because Taojiazhuang is not far from Qiyun City, there may be news of Taojiazhuang here.

Qiyun Tower is the restaurant owned by the city lord in this Qiyun City, and it is also the largest restaurant in this Qiyun City with the most news.

Ye Zihan and his entourage came to Qiyun Building, found a place by the window to sit down, and beckoned the shopkeeper to order a few dishes.

In fact, Ye Zihan and others have already opened the valley, but in order to integrate into this world, they still need to disguise. After all, there are far more ordinary people than monks in this Qiyun City, and it is inconvenient for Ye Zihan and others to be too abrupt in order to find out the news.

When the shopkeeper was serving, Zhu Feng politely asked, "Little Er, is there a Taojiazhuang near this Qiyun City?"

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the words Taojiazhuang, his face suddenly became a little unnatural, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and then he hurriedly said: "There is a Taojiazhuang, but ......" The shopkeeper wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhu Feng saw that the shopkeeper seemed to know something, and hurriedly asked, "But what?"

The shopkeeper seemed a little afraid, but he still said, "But that place is haunted"!

"Haunted"?

"Could it be a ghost?" Ye Zihan and the others thought in unison.

"That Taojiazhuang was originally a well-known mountain villa nearby, and it often hunted powerful spirit beasts in the Qiyun Mountain Range and sold them, so it was quite famous and had an important position near Qiyun City."

"But a few days ago, Tao Xing, the owner of Taojiazhuang, suddenly died violently, his death was extremely miserable, his eyes widened, as if he had seen something terrifying."

The shopkeeper said in a low voice.

"How did you know that Tao Xing was dead?" Zhu Feng asked.

"On the day of Tao Xing's death, our Qiyun Mansion owner took all of us to mourn, and we were not buried at that time." Dian Xiaoer explained.

"Then what happened to Taojiazhuang?" Zhu Feng then asked.

"Later, it was the real horror place, the day after Tao Xing's death, all the people in the entire Taojiazhuang disappeared"!

"All missing"?

"Yes, guest officer, overnight, the people of Taojiazhuang seemed to evaporate from the world, and all disappeared"!

Ye Zihan and the others couldn't help frowning when they heard this, all the people in Taojiazhuang disappeared, how could they investigate?

"What has happened in Taojiazhuang recently?"

"Since the Tao family disappeared, when someone passed near Taojiazhuang in the evening, he actually heard the sound of talking inside, but when he opened the door, the sound suddenly stopped, and the door was empty!"

"Thank you for informing us". Zhu Feng said gratefully.

"You're not going to Taojiazhuang, are you?" asked the shopkeeper suspiciously.

"We happened to hear some news about Taojiazhuang when we passed through here, and we were a little curious, so we asked this question." Zhu Feng explained.

"You must not go, it is said that someone disappeared near Taojiazhuang later, and there is no one alive or dead."

After that, the guests at another table greeted the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper left.

"What do you think of this?" Zhu Feng asked the crowd.

"If it is a person or a ghost, you will know it at a glance, if it is a person, you will find out the real murderer, if it is a ghost, you will kill it, are the monks of my generation still afraid of ghosts?" Yang Lei said.

"It's just that, but I'm afraid that someone will be timid and hold back." Zhao Xue said.

Ye Zihan frowned, this Zhao Xue herself is not as knowledgeable as her, but she has been targeting herself, which makes him a little impatient.

"Whether it is a human or a ghost, we have to go and find out the truth of this matter." Ye Zihan said.

"Brother Zihan is right, we have to go to Taojiazhuang no matter what, after all, this is not only our task, it is related to the sect, since we have received this task, we are obliged to complete it." Zhu Feng said.

"Without further ado, let's go now."

After that, Zhu Feng put a few taels of silver on the table, and the group left.

Near evening, Ye Zihan and his party came to Taojiazhuang.

An antique gate greeted the eyes of Ye Zihan and others, and there were three big characters engraved on the curtain, Taojiazhuang.

Zhu Feng pushed open the door, and the group looked inside, all the items were normal, but they were empty, no different from what the shopkeeper said.

Zhu Feng looked at the sky and said, "Since the shopkeeper said that strange things will happen here at night, now that the time is approaching evening, it is better to spend the night here today and see what will happen."

Ye Zihan and the others also have no objections, and it seems that this is the best way at present.

Time passed quietly, the sky gradually darkened, and a strange feeling gradually enveloped everyone's hearts.
