Chapter 228: Action Ahead of Time
Yuan Li felt that the situation was still not good for him, it seemed that Zhang Yao was still angry, he was really willful, and it would be endless if he continued like this, but he couldn't hurt her, so it was better to find a chance to escape.
Zhang Jiao pointed at Yuan Li with a bamboo sword, and looked at him very calmly, but Yuan Li felt very strange, Zhang Jiao's aura has returned to normal now, and his consciousness is also clear, but why is there still a disturbing feeling around him? I hope this is just my own heart.
At this time, Xiao Zhang Miao saw the complaining bell lamp suspended in the air, and felt that it was very eye-catching, so he ordered Zhang Yao: "Look at that thing, it makes people uncomfortable to look at, and break it for me." ”
Zhang Yao's gaze moved from Yuan Li's body to the mourning bell, and without hesitation, he immediately rushed forward, gathered spiritual energy and slashed at it, and never stopped until it was shattered.
Yuan Li kept looking at Zhang Yao, seeing that she was doing this now, he knew what she wanted to do, but he didn't understand the purpose of what she was doing now, so he had to drive the grumbling bell lamp to keep avoiding.
But Zhang Jiao didn't give up, and kept chasing the complaining bell lantern, Yuan Li finally couldn't help his doubts, and asked: "Zhang Yao, what do you want to do? If you have something unacceptable, we can talk about it, there is no need to kill each other." ”
Zhang Jiao only has a complaining bell lamp in his eyes now, completely ignoring Yuan Li, which makes Yuan Li realize that the situation does not seem to be so simple, and Zhang Yao must have something wrong.
Just when Yuan Li was looking at Zhang Yao very nervously, Xiao Zhang Miao walked up to Yuan Li and asked, "What else do you want to talk about? Don't think that apologizing can solve the problem, if you dare to be disrespectful to me, I must make you look good." ”
Yuan Li suddenly heard the voice of a little girl talking in front of him, and was startled, looked at her, and found that there was indeed a little girl looking at him angrily, and although this little girl looked very young, it was obvious that she was very similar to Zhang Jiao, and it was simply a miniature version of her.
Yuan Li looked at her in amazement, and suddenly remembered that he had heard someone say that when the spirit cultivates to the point where he is about to become an immortal, it is easy to have doubts about the path of cultivating immortals, and his mind will become unstable, and then he will have heart demons, and when the heart demons are formed, they will not be the original person.
This can be said to be the most shocking thing Yuan Li has ever seen, it is the first time he has seen the formed inner demon, but he didn't expect Zhang Jiao to be in the inner demon period now, which simply subverted his understanding, it seems that the current situation is not only not improving, but has become more complicated.
Yuan Li didn't dare to offend Xiao Zhang, because he didn't know what she was capable of, so he stammered: "You...... We're all relatively familiar people, and you understand my purpose and thoughts, so there's no need for us to continue fighting. ”
Xiao Zhang Miao said: "I know what you think, but I didn't want to stop you, but this magic weapon of yours is too much of an eyesore, if you dare to stop me from destroying him, then you can be buried with you." ”
Yuan Li suddenly felt that it was difficult to deal with it, this little Zhang Miao would not be reasonable at all, in her eyes there was only killing and domination, and it was really a demon, but with her current strength, she should not be the opponent of the complaining bell light, maybe she could subdue her.
Although Yuan Li was still chatting with Xiao Zhang, he had secretly controlled the Grievance Bell Lantern and wanted to find an opportunity to trap Zhang Yao, just after the Grievance Bell Lantern dodged Zhang Yao's blow, it immediately became the size of a bell, and Zhang Yao, who was quickly unable to react, was trapped inside, and at this time, Xiao Zhang Miao also found out and knew that Zhang Yao had been tricked, so he hurriedly ran to her and wanted to rescue her.
But Yuan Li would not let her have a chance to return to her place, the lamenting bell bell struck like a bronze bell, the huge bell shook Zhang Yao's heart, and the aura in her body became peaceful, while Xiao Zhang Yao's figure became a little looming and could disappear at any time.
Zhang Miao has gradually regained consciousness at this time, feeling that every time a bell rings, she will be more sober, and soon regained her senses, and when the bell of the bell of the bell lamp disappeared, Zhang Yao finally fully sobered up, and the current bell has no effect on her.
After Zhang Jiao woke up, he stroked Zhong's arm, not knowing where this was, he was locked in a round thing, and he didn't know how to get out.
Yuan Li saw that Xiao Zhang Yao had disappeared, and the feeling of uneasiness was gone, knowing that everything was over, so he took back the mourning bell lamp and released Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao watched the grumbling bell lantern return to Yuan Li's hand, not knowing what had happened, so he asked, "What happened just now? Why don't I remember what just happened?"
It's a good thing not to remember, so there is no need to explain such a complicated matter, Yuan Li said to Zhang Yao: "You were controlled by your own demon just now, but don't worry, I have already helped you solve her, how do you feel now, can you still hear the voice of someone?"
Zhang Jiao felt his heart carefully, and found that he was indeed much calmer, but when he saw Yuan Li, he suddenly thought of something, and said to Yuan Li in horror: "Your aura is a black aura, it turns out that you are a ghost cultivator, no wonder you never use aura in front of me and my cousin." ”
Yuan Li had already settled down, and finally solved all the problems, but suddenly when he heard Zhang Jiao say this, he was suddenly a little stunned, and he drove the grieving bell lantern to naturally use aura, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Zhang Jiao now, and the trouble became even bigger.
Yuan Li hurriedly explained: "That's right, I am indeed a ghost cultivator, but what's the problem with this, when you were in Gudi Village, you also know that ghost cultivators are not all bad people, don't you be so strange." ”
Zhang Jiao couldn't believe that Yuan Li was actually a ghost cultivator, so he became even more distrustful of Yuan Li, and said while walking back quickly: "I will definitely tell my cousin your identity, and I will also tell the general all the disobedient things you have done, and as for what the result will be, it is up to them to decide." ”
By the time Zhang Jiao finished speaking, she had already disappeared into the night, and Yuan Li was still standing in place, her head was a mess, if Zhang Jiao told her secret, then everything would be over, her hard work would be all in vain, and she might be wanted by the cultivation world.
Yuan Li was already anxious at this time, and he had to stop Zhang Yao, but he couldn't hurt Zhang Yao, so the difficulty was too great, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally decided to implement his plan in advance, and before Zhang Xiao told Zhang Xiao his identity, he went to borrow the Qingyu fragment from him, so that he could become a half-spirit, and other things would be talked about when the time came, so he turned into a cloud of black gas and quickly drifted towards Xinye.
Zhang Xiao is now running towards the camp, but at this time his thinking is very confused, he is not surprised that Yuan Li is the person who leaked secrets, but he didn't expect that he would be a ghost cultivator, this is unexpected, I have been with him for so long and I didn't notice it at all, and Zhang Xiao trusts him so much, I don't know if I should tell Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Jiao came to the camp with a heavy heart, but found that the army had already left here, only the toppled fence and the extinguished fire remained, and he didn't expect the army to advance so fast, and the camp was all packed up in such a short time.
Zhang Xiao couldn't stay here any longer, he had to go to Xinye immediately, and listen to Yuan Li's conversation with the liaison, they already knew that the army would take advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack, so Zhang Xiao would encounter an ambush and must hurry to remind him, so he followed the footsteps of the army to catch up.
As an immortal cultivator, Zhang Jiao's speed of action is naturally faster than that of the soldiers, and he followed the team after chasing for a long time, but he did not tell Cao Ren about Xinye's situation, because if they knew, they would definitely not go to Xinye again, so wouldn't there be no one to pick up Zhang Xiao?
The vanguard led by Zhang Xiao and Hao Zhao had come to the west gate of Xinye at this time, and sent a large number of scouts and spies to reconnoiter along the way, but no trace of Liu Beijun was found, even if there were traces of someone staying here, which made Hao Zhao very confused, could it be that Liu Bei had really retreated from here?
The two vanguard troops came to the outside of Xinye City smoothly and steadily, seeing that the gate here was open, and there was no pennant on the city tower, it was very much like a lonely city, but for the sake of prudence, Hao Zhao still decided not to rush, and after communicating with Cao Fu, the two vanguard troops were stationed outside the city gate, waiting for the arrival of the army before acting.
