Chapter 235: The Reappearance of the Corpse Demon (6)

The little fox whispered, "He... um!"

Li Xiu covered its mouth while trying to take out a soundproofing sound, but in a panic, Yue Qingya had to use the soundproofing sound.

The little fox kicked Li Xiu in the face, looked at Yue Qingya, and said, "Why doesn't he dare to come in? Can't he beat you? Then why don't we fight our way out?"

He shook his head: "I can't beat him, otherwise I wouldn't be hiding."

"Then why didn't he come in? Or is he not sure if we are the ones causing trouble? That doesn't make sense. This is not the nature of a demon cultivator."

Everyone was puzzled, and Li Xiu told Tao Zi what he had guessed: "The plague takes time to spread. He probably doesn't want good seedlings like us to die."

The little fox scoffed mercilessly, "That's an even dumber idea—he could just lock us up."

In the silence, Tao Zi pointed to the bed.

Yue Qingya left a clone outside, and several people climbed down.

Below is an empty dirt cave with a few tables and chairs in it. Judging from the location, it should be located underground on the left side of the inn.

At this moment, Fellow Daoist Yuan was sitting on a chair, and opposite him was a man with a scar on his face.

Tao Zi vaguely felt that this person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where.

Until a corpse demon said: "Xiao Lizi, Xiao Lizi, the demon is coming!"

Xiao Lizi weakly held his forehead, looked at Tao Zi, and said, "I'm sorry, they only remember the food and not the beating."

"It's okay." Tao Zi remembered that this person called Yu Niang Sister at that time.

The corpse demon shouted again: "Boss, look quickly, this demon has changed his face!"

The corpse demon called the boss said with a wooden face, "You remembered it wrongly. This is what the girl looks like."

Tao Zi was stunned when she heard this familiar voice. She called out tentatively, "Mr. Accountant?"

"Yes, it's me." The accountant stood up and made an awkward bow.

Tao Zi asked, "What's going on? Where's Yu Niang?"

The accountant sighed and said, "The girl's whereabouts are unknown. As for the situation here... it's our fault."

Xiao Lizi said, "We were captured. To save us, my sister could only reveal the method of making a corpse demon bit by bit. I didn't expect these people to be so crazy and actually changed the recipe into what it is now."

The accountant whispered, "To make up for her mistake, the young lady deliberately misled them, causing obstacles in the emotional connection between the mortal corpses and the demons, making it easier for others to distinguish them."

"Waiter, I mean the waiter at the inn here. He is different during the day and at night."

The accountant said helplessly, "All of us have taken the medicine made by the young lady, which can resist the transformation of corpses to a certain extent."

Li Xiuman was puzzled: "Then what's wrong with you?"

"The medicine has side effects. Although I still retain my sanity, my appearance has transformed into a corpse demon. He, on the other hand, appears to be fine, but his mind is half controlled."

Yue Qingya frowned and looked at them, his eyes still distrustful: "They haven't discovered you yet?"

Xiao Lizi smiled bitterly and said, "How is that possible? They discovered it a long time ago, but they are still holding us hostages to try to force their sister to come back."

The little fox summed it up succinctly: "We have walked into a prison cell ourselves."

A corpse demon squatted on the side and muttered: "Since we can't escape anyway, why don't we fight them? Hiding here every day is so boring."

Another demon squatted across from him and taught earnestly: "There is a lot of demons on the other side, we can't defeat them. We have to wait, Jade Lady will come to save us."

Yue Qingya looked at these strange corpse demons and asked, "What are they doing?"

Xiao Lizi said calmly, "They are all our family members. They were murdered decades ago and have no chance of reincarnation. After Yu Niang escaped, she used some special methods to summon their ghosts and placed them in bones. This makes them immortal, but their intelligence is low."

There was too much information in this passage, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.

Tao Zi looked at these people and asked politely, "May I ask what is Yu Niang's surname?"

Xiao Lizi smiled and said, "My sister was originally the eldest daughter of the Yu family, and I am just a servant who managed to survive by chance by the side of the eldest young master of the Yu family."

"Yu family!"

Upon hearing this surname, Fellow Daoist Yuan immediately straightened up and looked at them in astonishment.

Xiao Lizi nodded.

"Your sister is Yunong?"

He nodded again, and Fellow Daoist Yuan had a complicated expression.

Li Xiu looked over and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, do you know this Hua family?"

Fellow Daoist Yuan spoke in a complicated tone, "One of the four great families in the Central Region was destroyed over twenty years ago for colluding with alien races. This Yunong was the fiancée chosen by the family for me."

Xiao Lizi immediately became angry: "My Yu family has never colluded with foreign races. This is clearly someone framing us!"

Tao Zi was silent for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "Who made the final decision at the time?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Xujiamen. The funny thing is, they pretended to rescue my sister in the end, ordered her to stay within the Xujiamen's territory, and forced her to become a prostitute, saying it was for her own good."

Everyone was in a complicated mood, and Fellow Daoist Yuan was in an even more complicated mood.

Tao Zi made a judgment: "Is it because your Yu family's ability has been targeted?"

"Probably." Xiao Lizi sat down on the chair tiredly. "We escaped to take this opportunity for revenge, but we didn't expect this outcome."

Daoist Yuan suddenly asked, "Is there any way to identify those demons?"

He looked even more exhausted. "There's no direct method. The recipe is no longer the same as before, and my sister's misleading advice will eventually lose its effectiveness."

"After I get out, I'll go find the sect for help!"

He smiled bitterly and said, "It's useless. I can't get out."

"The appearance of demonic cultivators in Qianhe Town..."

Fellow Daoist Yuan was interrupted by Li Xiu: "What Qianhe Town? Isn't this Jiaoruo Town?"

Fellow Daoist Yuan remained there, and the accountant added, "This place used to be Xuyang Town."

The little fox said in disbelief, "Is this town moving?"

Tao Zi said indifferently: "The people from just one town are not enough, so we naturally have to choose more small towns."

Yue Qingya murmured, "We are in the formation."

"When daybreak comes, the scenery outside the town will probably be completely different." Li Xiu said with a wry smile, "How are we going to escape?"

Tao Zi patted his shoulder and looked at Yue Qingya: "Brother Qing, find some time to fight that demon head-on."

"What are you doubting?"

"He's repeatedly refused to take action. Perhaps this isn't his true strength. Just like this small town, it's just a deception."

Yue Qingya shook his head and said, "The strength he displayed at that moment was indeed that of a Nascent Soul."

"What about the next moment? What is true in one moment may not be true in the next moment."

Tao Zi thought about what he said at that time and always felt that he was taking advantage of the situation.
