Chapter 19
"You're late, but what happened?"
The first person to ask questions was Tang Zheng, a disciple of Sifangfang who was carrying a five-stringed zither.
She glanced behind the two people as they entered the room, and after confirming that no one was following her and that she was in danger, she closed the door and set a soundproofing charm.
Liu Huaifeng, who had been waiting in the room for a long time, looked solemn, and the same question appeared in his eyes when he looked at the two of them.
"Sit down first." Fang Xinxi spread out a sheepskin roll on the table.
On the parchment scroll, which is the size of two palms, the number thirty-one is marked on the very edge of the lower left corner.
You Sheng simply told the story that two of his fellow disciples had mistakenly entered Yongshu Township, and explained why he and Chu Yingluo were so late.
"Don't worry, I have made a lot of Sun-Hiding Talismans in the past few days, so I haven't delayed my work." Chu Yingluo took out the talismans she had made and divided them into several portions according to what they had originally agreed upon.
Although they must leave a deep impression on the residents of Yongshu Township, covert investigation is also of utmost importance in today's world where demon cultivators and monster cultivators mix together.
Therefore, Chu Yingluo, a talisman master in the Foundation Establishment Stage, volunteered to take charge of drawing the Sun-Hidden Talisman that could conceal the aura.
Of course, it was not given for free. Due to the identities that You Sheng and others knew very well, the information related to the demon cultivators was obtained by Liu Huaifeng and others from the Tianyu Palace, and then shared with You Sheng and others.
The two parties have a clear division of labor.
"The demon cultivators in Yongshu Township are mixed together. Even with our spiritual tools, we can't tell where these demonic auras come from." Tang Zheng thanked him and put away the talisman. "We also checked with those demon cultivators. As long as it doesn't involve that rule, even if they want to use demonic energy to break through the space, it won't work. The less demonic energy they use, the less they have."
Fang Xinxi: "Their strength is suppressed by an unknown force. This is why they are now living in peace with us in Yongshu Township. They can't attack at will. Every time they attack, their demonic energy is depleted."
"You don't have to worry too much about them attacking your young disciples. They are already busy with their own affairs."
"I asked around, and most of the reasons they were trapped here are the same as ours."
Yongshu Township is a popular place for men and women to meet, so it is not surprising that a few evil cultivators have set their sights on coming here.
What is surprising is that those people in Tianyu Palace were trapped because their disciples asked for help.
In other words, he was stuck here because of emotional entanglements.
And the demon cultivators who were trapped inside...
"It is said that they came here because they heard rumors about a powerful demon cultivator in Yongshu Township. They believed that this place may contain the inherited skills and secret treasures left behind by the demon cultivator."
Unexpectedly, he was trapped in there like a prison with no way out before he even saw the shadow of the inheritance and the secret treasure.
They also have to perform all kinds of human love every day that they cannot understand, and they are fed up with the fact that everything is based on strength.
However, they are more convinced that this is the inheritance place of the demon ancestors who died here.
Everything here is a test for them!
As for those who died in Yongshu Township, the assessment of the secret realm of inheritance is naturally full of dangers and opportunities. It is normal to die if you fail the test.
"As for the demon cultivators, I believe someone must have deliberately spread this news. So, Yongshu Township is very likely as you speculated." Liu Huaifeng clenched his fist under his chin, contemplating the parchment scroll on the table. "But why are you so sure so early on that Yongshu Township was deliberately transformed into this state by someone with ulterior motives, using a spatial partition technique?"
To be honest, if it weren't for Rao Zhiyi's unshakable statement, he would probably tend to believe that this was a place of inheritance established by a powerful demon cultivator after investigation.
"I'm sure, because I witnessed with my own eyes how Yongshu Township was transformed step by step." Rao Zhiyi looked up and met eyes with Liu Huaifeng and others.
"A long time ago, Yongshu Township was just an ordinary town among the many small towns in Wenti City. About a few decades ago, a tragic incident occurred in Yongshu Township, wiping out an entire family." Thinking of that old incident, Rao Zhiyi's eyes flickered darkly. "Before the incident, I accidentally ran into someone who had been buried in the sea of fire."
When Rao Zhiyi recalled what he had accidentally witnessed, his brows furrowed and the veins on his forehead bulged, as if he was enduring something.
"Decades ago?" Tang Zheng was surprised, then asked Rao Zhiyi with suspicion, "Are you sure? A family massacre like this is no small matter, but I asked the ordinary people in Yongshu Township, and they didn't mention any major events that happened there."
"I'm sure." Rao Zhiyi nodded solemnly. "Many years ago, Yongshu Township had another name, Raojiazhuang. And my last name is Rao. After that tragedy, almost everyone in Raojiazhuang changed their last names, and no one dared to mention that incident anymore."
Even his fellow disciples You Sheng and Chu Yingluo didn't know about this.
Then, Rao Zhiyi slowly recounted the events of the past.
To put it simply, it is about an ordinary little country town where a young genius emerged. Not only was he gifted, he also accidentally acquired a rare treasure and skills. The news spread like wildfire, and he was coveted by people from both the righteous and evil paths, and eventually brought about his own death.
In the end, it led to the annihilation of the entire family and became a tragic incident.
After listening to this, several people were silent for a long time.
As they were all people who had experienced life outside, Liu Huaifeng and You Sheng naturally understood the implicit message in Rao Zhiyi's story.
Although there are not many gifted cultivators, they are not rare in the Beiyan Continent.
pity.
To burn oneself with an elephant's tusks is to commit a crime; to possess a treasure is to commit a crime.
Someone betrayed the young man, which ultimately brought disaster upon his entire family.
So, now, the young man who survived the disaster of annihilation of his family came to seek revenge.
Didn’t the local people of Yongshu Township notice anything unusual? Of course they did, and they were even cooperating intentionally or unintentionally.
It was because of this discovery that Rao Zhiyi was so sure that this was the real Yongshu Township, and not a false illusion or secret place created by some powerful person.
"That's not right. He's out for revenge, why would he drag innocent people like us into this?" Chu Yingluo frowned, immediately sensing something was amiss. "If he wanted revenge, why would he let people stage these love stories?"
It's painless and there's no point in such revenge.
"Hmm..." Rao Zhiyi swallowed, his face showing confusion, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Faced with everyone's puzzled looks, he didn't say anything for a long time.
Rao Zhiyi suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was going to die: "Because, he has a sweetheart who he can't get."

"Is this the disciple of Guiyuan Sect this year?" The gentle voice seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, vague and hazy, and extremely charming.
The woman who was speaking had bare arms and a pair of white legs crossed under the translucent shark veil.
A red night-blooming jasmine flower ornament was placed on her forehead, and she walked gracefully and charmingly towards the two people who were hanging.
A long, crystal-white finger touched the face of the woman with her hands tied and hung, and stroked her face affectionately, from top to bottom, slowly and leisurely.
"That's all~"
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the woman's chin with his knuckles, looked disgusted, and threw her away.
"That's indeed not as good as your Excellency, the disciple of Tianyu Palace Flower Master Ye Hehuan, the Fire Girl Ban Meng, am I right?"
Now it was Ban Meng's turn to be surprised. She narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, her sharp gaze full of inquiry, and looked back at the female disciple whom she looked down upon.
"Who are you?"
"Guiyuan Sect, Bai Qingqing."
Lanterns by the river.
The big goose, which had been taught a lesson by Jiang Wan during the day, sat in a small boat that looked like a lantern. It used its two wings as oars to push away the river lanterns that blocked its way and rowed to Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan:?
This design is quite unique.
But why are you looking for her so late at night? Haven’t you been beaten enough during the day?
Then she was shocked by the news thrown out by the big goose.
"What? You said the people from Tianyu Palace captured my two senior brothers and sisters?"
