The people in the village immediately surrounded Doctor Yang and threw him onto the altar.

Doctor Yang saw that the firewood had formed a circle and people around it were holding torches, their eyes widening in fear.

"Help! Help!"

His screams reached Xiao Ruyu's ears.

Xiao Ruyu looked at the miserable condition of Doctor Yang, smacked her lips repeatedly, and took the opportunity to teach Eleven a lesson.

[Eleven, no matter what I say, women’s words cannot be trusted.]

[Look at Master now. He has been harmed by a woman and is about to be sacrificed.]

[It’s so tragic. It’s so tragic.]

She shook her head repeatedly.

Eleven held his forehead helplessly, watching Doctor Yang struggling, and reminded him to speak.

"Little Princess, please stop talking. If you don't save Doctor Yang, he will probably be reduced to ashes soon."

[Yes, yes, Master! ]

When Xiao Ruyu came to her senses, she scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

[He was so busy ridiculing his master that he forgot that he was going to be burned to ashes.]

Fortunately, Doctor Yang did not know about this. If he knew, he would probably spit out blood.

Xiao Ruyu was nervously thinking of a solution, watching as the people in the village had already started the ceremony.

After pouring wine and bowing, it is time to start the sacrifice.

There is a way!

Her smart eyes flashed, and she swept her gaze across the surrounding mountains. She flipped her palm slightly to summon a stream of spiritual power.

The spiritual power rushed straight into the forest, and after a moment, the roar of a ferocious beast permeated the mountains and forests.

The people in the village immediately became alert and looked around.

"What's that sound?"

They looked at each other, and someone shouted in fear.

"It's the mountain king!"

Before anyone could react, a ferocious beast with light brown fur and black stripes all over its body rushed down from the forest.

Rushed straight into the village!

It would bite anyone it saw. Its limbs were strong and powerful, so it could easily grab a person and throw him away.

Everyone fled, not caring about offering sacrifices, as they focused on saving their lives.

Doctor Yang was tied to the platform in the middle, watching the beast getting closer and closer to him with its bloody mouth opened.

He closed his eyes in despair, thinking he was about to die.

He suddenly felt a wet and hot feeling on his face, and when he opened his eyes, the beast was licking his cheek carefully.

"This is?"

When Doctor Yang was wondering, a baby voice sounded behind him.

[Master, are you okay? ]

Xiao Ruyu stood not far away and waved his little arms at him.

Doctor Yang shook his hands and shouted at her.

"Why is the little princess here? It's dangerous here!"

[Don't be afraid. I called the beast to save Master.]

As he spoke, the beast walked up to Xiao Ruyu and lay down obediently.

Xiao Ruyu touched its furry head and talked to it in his heart.

[Thank you for this time. I will bring you a fat chicken next time. ]

The beast nuzzled her sleeve to show its agreement.

"Little Princess, we should not stay here for long. Let's rescue Doctor Yang and leave first."

Eleven reminded from the side.

Xiao Ruyu looked at Doctor Yang who was still tied up in the middle and smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth.

[Master, how come you are so smart all your life, but you were deceived by a woman. ]

As she spoke, she stepped forward and tried to untie Doctor Yang.

"Master has fallen into a trap!"

Doctor Yang tried to argue, twisting his body and trying to loosen the rope a little.

Seeing Xiao Ruyu about to walk up to him, Eleven suddenly exclaimed.

"Little princess, watch out behind you!"

He rushed forward, picked up Xiao Ruyu, and stared at the person behind him warily.

A ferocious-looking man suddenly appeared behind them, staring at them.

His face was pale and his movements were stiff, but his goal was very clear.

【Eleven, be careful! 】

[He smells like rotten eggs mixed with stinky ditch and a bit of stinky dog ​​shit! ]

Xiao Ruyu was talking incoherently, and Eleven was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

It's the spirit of a cult!

Looking closely, there were wisps of black air surrounding the man.

The man seemed not to notice the changes in their expressions and rushed forward with a sword in his hand.

Eleven came out without a sword and was unarmed.

After barely blocking a few attacks, he supported himself on the ground with one hand and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"eleven!"

Xiao Ruyu spoke nervously, his eyes falling on the black air.

"The three souls are gone, the seven spirits are lost, all the evil spirits and monsters are gone!"

A purifying spiritual force hit him, and as wisps of black air dissipated, the man fell to the ground.

Seeing him fall, Xiao Ruyu immediately rushed forward and cut the rope of Doctor Yang.

[Master, please look at him, something seems to be wrong.]

The two men approached the evil man cautiously, and Doctor Yang reached out his hand to feel his breath.

"No breath can be detected."

He shook his head at Xiao Ruyu.

At this moment, the man suddenly opened his eyes. Xiao Ruyu was frightened and pulled Doctor Yang three meters away.

【Master, be careful! 】

But after the man opened his eyes, he stopped moving.

Xiao Ruyu looked at his dilated pupils and a memory flashed through her mind.

[This person seems to be unconscious and is being controlled by someone. ]

【It's witchcraft! 】

"It's witchcraft!"

Doctor Yang and she said it at the same time, and after exchanging glances, they understood.

[It is indeed the work of the cult members! ]

[It’s that Dan Wandong again! ]

Xiao Ruyu angrily kicked a small stone and it fell next to the man.

Doctor Yang stared at the man's clothes and thought for a moment.

"Master seems to know this person."

[What? Where has the master seen this person? ]

Xiao Ruyu asked quickly.

Doctor Yang thought about it carefully, and the scene when Meng Zhenling came a few days ago emerged in his mind.

Yes, it’s clothes!

"This clothing seems to belong to someone from the government. Meng Zhenling mentioned it to me a few days ago."

"He said that an official was missing in the county, and he showed the portrait to Master."

"I also asked Master to send a letter back to him if I met him during my journey!"

He squatted down, looked at the man's face, and then realized what was going on.

【So that's how it is.】

Xiao Ruyu seemed to be thinking about something, but there was one thing she still couldn't figure out.

[Why did the missing people in the government become infected with evil spirits and appear in the village to attack the master? ]

[Could it be that the cult has already extended its influence into the government?! ]

If that's the case, then the people in the government are in big trouble!

Doctor Yang thought about it carefully and felt that this possibility could not be ruled out.

"Let's take this person back to the inn first. This village is not safe. It will be troublesome if they come back later."

Eleven carried the man on his shoulders, and immediately mounted his horse and left the village with the two of them.

Along the way, they did not dare to stop for even a moment and finally returned to the inn before dawn.

Eleven carefully carried the body into the room and closed the doors and windows.

If others saw several people carrying a dead body, there would be trouble.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion at the door.

Several soldiers rushed into the room and grabbed several people without saying a word.

"Someone called the police and said there was a murder here!"
