Chapter 292 Looking for a Head
"Qi Zhen! Are you okay?" Ni Jinxuan was soft-hearted after all. She couldn't just sit there and watch someone get into trouble, so she quickly took out the medicine.
Qi Zhen's body swayed and he was about to fall. Jin Xuan tried to step forward but was caught in the arms of a wooden puppet controlled by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Yuan Ye and stopped on the spot.
Yuan Ye gave Lin Du a look that said, "Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let my junior sister come into contact with dirty things."
Lin Du forced a smile back. After confirming the abnormality of the evil spirit, he turned and walked towards Xia Tianwu, "That evil spirit is not right."
Xia Tianwu looked at the bound demon and asked, "Is he also a human being, just like our client?"
"Hmm." Lin Du paused, "But, he can still keep his will."
"I want to take it back to the sect for research." Xia Tianwu's calm eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, "Junior Master..."
Lin Du nodded in agreement, "Take it back in the beast bag."
There was something a little weird about this matter, and since Qianyu had pointed it out to them specifically, they couldn't let her kindness go to waste.
While talking, Qi Zhen had already taken the pills that Ni Jinxuan had given him. His wounds were slowly healing. He looked up, his eyes were extremely bright, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
"I knew that Senior Sister would not abandon me. I was exhausted after killing two evil demons. I was too weak..."
Ni Jinxuan waved her hands, "We are all fellow disciples, and Junior Master will not leave our fellow disciples alone."
Qi Zhen lowered his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Junior Master, you came just in time."
He glanced to the side and suddenly cried out in surprise, then flew over and drew his sword, "Senior Sister, be careful!"
Before he could finish his words, Yan Qing, who had been holding a big knife, noticed the strange movement and chopped the evil demon that had been hiding in the mountain into two halves with one knife.
Yan Qing heaved a sigh of relief after putting away his sword. Fortunately, his sword was not drawn in vain.
He turned to look at Qi Zhen, "Junior brother, your five senses are really sharp."
The tradition of the six-member group of the Supreme Sect is that no matter where they go, there will be four people responsible for guarding the four directions. If they fail to notice a problem in the area they are responsible for, they will be laughed at the next time they go out.
Yuan Ye laughed when he saw this, "Hey, don't worry, little brother! We are a professional team!"
Qi Zhen forced a smile and said, "It just happened to be a coincidence." What kind of group is so hard to get into?
On the other side, Xia Tianwu was about to deal with the evil demon with human consciousness, but Lin Du said, "Wait a minute, I will take it."
She confirmed with Chu Guanmeng in her consciousness, "Is it completely isolated if it is placed in the small world?"
Chu Guanmeng said with disdain, but still admitted, "Of course, it's different from the spirit beast bag. This is another world."
Lin Du nodded, raised her hands and formed seals. The demon-sealing seal took shape at her fingertips and injected it into the body of the low-level evil demon. She then put it into the bag and pretended to hang up the spirit beast bag, but in fact she had moved it to her own little world.
It's better to be steady about this matter.
Hou Cang came over with a cold face, looked at the mess on the ground, felt the residual spiritual power on the ground, and looked at Lin Du in surprise, "Junior sister has really made great progress, and looks a bit like a cultivator in the Huiyang realm."
With the cultivation level of the early Huiyang Realm, a large-scale attack can achieve this intensity, which is indeed powerful and far superior to Xun Chang in the early Huiyang Realm.
Xia Tianwu set a fire and burned away all the evil in the valley. The fire was blazing and the flames shot up to the sky, as if it would wipe out the filth and pollution in the world.
The demon's body burned in the spiritual fire without leaving any residue, and billowing black smoke rose straight into the sky.
"Junior Master, what about those evil spirits?" Ni Jinxuan's face flushed red from the smoke from the flames, and she seemed to be a little worried about the fire that had not yet burned out and the spreading black smoke.
“Don’t worry.” Lin Du looked at the black mist that finally disappeared in the firelight and raised his hand to make a gesture.
All her magic arts related to demons were taught by Lin Tuan and Hou Cang, and no one can use the magic arts better than she, a half-spirit.
The seal was formed and quickly sank into the air. The originally scorching temperature dropped rapidly, the ashes were wrapped in spiritual light, the evil spirit was devoured and dissipated by spiritual power, countless ice crystals condensed in the air, and the dry and rainless Kongxiang Valley had a rare heavy snowfall that night.
The evil demon's corpse was gone, the evil spirit completely dissipated, and it was a clean and clear valley again.
Yuan Ye and Yan Qing both shuddered. Even after more than ten years, they still couldn't handle the spiritual power of their junior master.
Everyone was about to leave, but Hou Cang suddenly looked towards the farthest point of the valley.
"Little sister, do you feel anything?"
"A person." Lin Du looked towards the corner at the end of the valley and retracted his consciousness. "A person who is not completely human. There are many strange things about him."
"It seems like we have intruded into someone's territory."
Yan Qing suddenly slapped his head. In the sect, apart from Lin Du who had access to the imperial report, he was the one who knew the most about the secrets of the various forces in the cultivation world. "I remember! There is a secret that few people know!"
"Legend has it that a hundred years ago, a rebellious outcast appeared in the Jiang family. He was not very talented and loved to study some kind of eccentric witchcraft. It is said that he had been abusing and killing monsters since he was a child. Later, he even wanted to kill his own wife, but was caught on the spot. In the end, his wife died of illness, and he ran away from home and disappeared. He even left his own daughter alone. It is really a pity..."
Lin Du reminded, "Stay focused, don't get distracted."
"Oh, yes." Yan Qing cleared his throat. "The point is that some people have said that he was seen on the border of Zhongzhou."
He wanted to use a folding fan and a wake-up stick to highlight the key points. "Guess what? That person is the one who crossed the Red Maple Ferry. It is said that when he was seen that day, he stretched out a hand, but under his sleeve it was not a human hand! It was a monster's claw!"
Lin Du finally grasped the thread that had been elusive in his mind.
Why did Hu You give the address of Kong Xiang Valley, but Hu Feiwei only hired a car to rush there when they arrived?
If Hu Feiwei entered the valley to find the witch doctor from the Jiang family, perhaps he was asking for help, or perhaps the witch doctor was the culprit who caused him to become a demon, and Hu You looked for them because he was afraid that Hu Feiwei would really turn into a demon, so he let the Supreme Sect take him away and bury him in his hometown.
She turned around and met Xia Tian's non-eager gaze, "Let's go."
As if he realized that they were about to catch up with him, the man turned and ran, soon disappearing from their sight.
Lin Du frowned and asked, "Want to arrest someone?"
"Yeah." Lin Du nodded.
"Okay." Hou Cang said, and disappeared from the spot in the next moment. Then, not long after, his voice came from the disciple token, "I caught him, come here."
Lin Du raised his eyebrows and said in his heart, "As expected of you, Senior Brother."
The group quickly followed Hou Cang's instructions and rushed to the scene.
The scene was...very exciting.
The middle-aged man's body was torn into pieces, and there were many traces of spiritual power on the ground, obviously he had been through a fight. However, Hou Cang was now at the level of Wuxiang Realm and was also well-known on the Chongxiao List, so the opponent was no match for him.
Not only was the weirdo no match for Hou Cang, he was even beaten to pieces. He finally managed to put his arms and legs together and was now looking for his head on the ground. Hou Cang held his head in his hands, his face full of shock and confusion.
"Where is my head! Give it back to me!!!" the middle-aged man shouted.
Lin Du was amazed, Ni Jinxuan stepped back in fear, and Xia Tianwu's eyes lit up.
