Chapter 531: Seeing an Old Friend Again
There is a small hill in the southern part of the Demon Realm. The hillside is full of trees and unintelligent beasts. No one would have thought that there would be mortals living here.
If Tao Zi hadn't gotten the exact location from Yu Niang, she probably wouldn't have been able to find it.
Cheng Luo frowned and said, "There is a formation here, specially used to conceal the aura. The person hiding here is probably not an ordinary mortal."
Tao Zi was not surprised. Which ordinary mortal would live in such a haunted place?
They followed the path Yu Niang mentioned and finally arrived in front of two extremely similar large trees with markings on their trunks.
According to Yu Niang, there was a path behind the two big trees, but it was blocked by thorns and bushes.
But now, the thorns have fallen, and a path that is only wide enough for one person to walk through is clearly revealed before them.
Cheng Luo said: "It looks like something has happened."
Cheng Wuchou recalled what Yu Niang said and said, "According to what Yu Niang said, she comes here once every two weeks. It must be something that happened recently. If I go there now, maybe I can still see what happened."
Tao Zi didn't respond, but just walked down that path decisively.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of urgency, an indescribable intuition urging her to move forward.
Tao Zi's pace became faster and faster.
After a while, they came to the end of the road.
At the end is a small mountain village, and there is even a piece of land and a chicken coop.
It was supposed to be a quiet and leisurely little mountain village, but now, the chicken coop is filled with the heads of dead chickens with their eyes open. Only a few corpses remain, with many tooth marks left on them.
The vegetables in the field were trampled into pieces, and the leaves fell off.
Those houses, which were crudely built of wood, were barely habitable, but several of them had collapsed, and all of them were stained with blood.
Tao Zi went into each room with a serious face to check, and as expected, there was no one inside.
She walked back and forth among the houses again, and suddenly, she stopped in one of them, bent down and knocked on the floor.
Then, a sledgehammer appeared in her hand. She knocked the ground hard, and the ground broke open, revealing a hole. About two meters deep in the hole, there was a small path visible to the naked eye.
Tao Zi put away the sledgehammer and jumped into the cave. Cheng Wuchou followed closely behind, while Cheng Luo stayed on the ground to avoid being caught off guard.
The path is not very long, only about five meters to the small door at the end.
Tao Zi kicked the small door open and a big knife came towards him.
Without blinking, she caught the knife with her bare hands, snatched it away, and kicked the man holding the knife away, without forgetting to control the force.
Without that person blocking the way, the scene behind the door was clearly visible.
Many mortals seemed injured, huddled in a corner, their clothes stained with blood;
Some people have lost their breath of life, and even their bodies are incomplete;
There were also some monks with weapons standing in front of them, but those people were not intact, they were just trying to stand.
For some reason, Tao Zi always felt that these people looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who they were until her eyes fell on the person she kicked away.
The man had now climbed up and was even limping back to stand in front of the others.
Tao Zi was stunned for a long moment before she said, "Zhou Qiandan?"
Zhou Qiandan looked over in surprise, the alertness in his eyes not diminishing, and he just asked, "Who are you?"
Tao Zi took off the human skin mask on her face, and Zhou Qiandan stared at this familiar yet unfamiliar face for a long time.
Someone behind her took out a photo ball, and a face exactly like hers appeared on the photo ball.
Everyone finally reacted and started howling like ghosts and wolves.
"Damn, it's the senior sister!"
"Big Sister!"
"Fuck you, don't faint, the senior sister is here!"
Tao Zi looked at the group of people with a much gentler expression. Before she could say anything, Zhou Qiandan spoke anxiously, "Senior Sister, please save Senior Sister Xu and the others! They were captured by the demonic cultivators in order to save us!"
Hearing this, Tao Zi hurriedly turned around and left, only having time to call Cheng Luo down to protect them.
She no longer worried about being discovered and released her spiritual sense until she found the demon cultivator.
Fortunately, the demon cultivator did not go too far, and in a blink of an eye, she arrived in front of the demon cultivator.
The demon cultivator had reached the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage and was only one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage. Now, his body was covered with scars.
There were several people lying in front of him, one of whom had a broken arm. He was about to grab the man with the broken arm and eat him.
Tao Zi made a move to intercept.
The demon cultivator looked at her with his bloodshot eyes, and the demonic energy that occasionally leaked out was chaotic.
This demon cultivator had already lost his mind, and faced with a demon cultivator who was obviously stronger than him, he attacked without hesitation.
Tao Zi immediately took action to finish him off, then turned to look at the people on the ground.
When she saw them clearly, she was stunned.
There were not only Xu Chengcheng and Lu Shaobai, but also some ghost cultivators who had practiced in Yisan Sect and some cultivators she did not recognize. This did not surprise her. What surprised her was that there were also Yan Wenxuan and He Yinggui.
Everyone else fainted, and only Yan Wenxuan relied on his Jindan stage cultivation to hold on and stand in front of them, but he was about to faint.
Even so, after seeing Tao Zi's face clearly, he still laughed and said, "I knew you could find me alive" before fainting.
While he was still somewhat conscious, Tao Zi hurriedly stuffed the elixir into his mouth and fed him water.
Cheng Wuchou also rushed over and helped Tao Zi heal the others. After they were initially stabilized, he took them back and dragged the corpse of the demon cultivator back with him.
When they returned to the small mountain village, Cheng Luo had already brought Zhou Qiandan and the others to the surface, and was directing those who were able to move to bandage their wounds.
Seeing them coming back, Zhou Qiandan and others stumbled over to greet them.
Seeing these unconscious people, some of them almost cried out loud, but Cheng Wuchou said in time: "No one is dead, just some are disabled."
Well, after these words were spoken, those people cried even harder.
After they had arranged the wounded, Tao Zi finally found time to inquire about the situation.
Zhou Qiandan told everything that happened after she was arrested.
After escaping, some of them left Yisanmen directly, while others decided to stay.
The group of people who stayed behind had been watching the situation. After learning that she had escaped, in order to find her, they joined forces with Yan Wenxuan and others to quietly return to the territory of Minglan Sect.
On the way, we also met mortals like Zhang Qian. Their identity cards were all under the name of Yisan Sect, and some of their children were still practicing in Yisan Sect.
They were unwilling to return to Minglan Sect according to their identity cards, so they took advantage of the chaos to secretly escape, but were eventually hunted down by some idle disciples of Minglan Sect.
After Xu Chengcheng and others rescued them, they decided to take them away with them, but they never expected that there was an insider from the Minglan Sect among them.
After escaping with great difficulty, he was marked and had to hide in the demon world so that those people would not dare to chase him.
I have been hiding until now.
