Chapter 24
==============================
Ning Chen and Xie Tingyun were forcefully pushed into the village chief's home, and then the door was closed behind him.
The defensive formation laid out by Xie Tingyun can automatically absorb the surrounding ghost energy and then convert it into its own energy, so the two do not have to worry about energy problems for the time being.
If I hadn't felt that the old man had no ill intentions, this scene would have been no different from closing the door and killing the shark.
The village chief and his wife pushed them into the deepest part of the master bedroom and moved the wardrobe in the corner with great effort, revealing a large dark hole inside.
The village chief seemed very anxious for some reason. He wanted to push Ning Chen in, but Ning Chen was too tall and he couldn't push him at all. He then tried to push Xie Tingyun in, but Xie Tingyun just held down the village chief's hand covered with age spots and whispered, "What's wrong?"
The village chief was so angry that he threw his hand away. After sulking alone for a while, he turned around and grabbed Achao.
Ah Chao did not resist. He quietly let his father drag him into the dark cave. His dark eyes just stared at his father and mother outside.
The village chief's wife said slowly, "It's hard to explain this matter at once. The one in the Endless Forest is angry and is determined to capture Ah Chao. No one in this village can survive."
"We have died countless times. It doesn't matter how angry that big monster gets. But since you are still alive, there is no need to be affected by its anger. Listen to my advice, follow Ah Chao and go to the cellar. This is the only place in Pingjing Village that they won't find."
Ning Shen lazily leaned against the wall, which was incompatible with the anxious style of the village chief. He had just had a fight with the arrogant big monster and won, so he was very relaxed now: "That big monster? Who is he? How can he be so influential?"
"Your cellar isn't hidden at all, how come it won't be found?"
Xie Tingyun said, "Aren't you leaving?"
The village head's wife smiled helplessly, glanced at her husband who was so angry that he was almost smoking, and reached into the cellar.
The moment the village head's wife's hand entered the cellar, the skin on the part of her hand that was stretched inside began to turn pale, her nails turned black and elongated into sharp shapes, emitting a sinister and ghostly aura.
Moreover, the village head's wife's hand only reached as far as her wrist and stopped there. The veins on the back of her hand tensed up, and she couldn't move forward another step.
Ning Chen and Xie Tingyun were both stunned for a moment. Only Ah Chao, who was curled up in the cellar entrance, stood up, grabbed his mother's hand, and then pressed half of his face against hers tenderly.
Ah Chao's mother touched Ah Chao's face tenderly and said, "We can't leave."
Ning Chen asked suddenly, "Then why didn't you leave when you were still alive?"
If everyone escapes from the cellar, there will be no worries.
The village head's wife glanced at her husband again and said, "His demonic talent can only teleport one person at a time. He only had time to send Ah Chao away."
“…”
Xie Tingyun was silent.
Ning Chen also didn't say anything. He looked up at the stinky old man, but he didn't see any demon blood in him.
The defense formation emitted dull noises one after another. It was the monsters on the periphery that were crashing into the entire defense formation, interspersed with occasional roars.
The defensive formation was set up by Xie Tingyun himself, and he was the one who knew the status of the formation best here.
The big demon, whose consciousness was partially shattered by Ning Chen, was obviously angry. Looking out from the house at this time, he could only see that the defense shield in the air seemed to have received countless fireworks, which were the visual effects produced by countless small attacks hitting the formation.
The auras of several great demons in the depths of the Endless Forest all quickly surrounded them, and each time they almost made the absorption and conversion speed of the formation unable to keep up with the speed of energy consumption.
The advantage of this formation is that as long as there is enough energy, it can continue to operate endlessly. The disadvantage is that if someone can break the cycle chain, they can completely destroy this formation.
The village chief no longer wanted to care and snorted coldly: "It's up to you. Whether they live or die is none of my business anyway."
Only the village chief's wife was still patiently persuading them to leave: "Once they come in, there will be no time. There is more than one high-level demon in the Endless Forest, and the defensive formation will not last long."
Xie Tingyun looked at Ning Chen.
Ning Chen turned around and looked at Ah Chao who was still holding his mother's hand reluctantly. He fed him and said, "Little brat, can you be more capable? Are you just going to watch your parents die like this?"
Achao tilted his head, his dark eyes staring silently at Ning Chen. He no longer had the lively look he once had, and his eyes seemed to be dripping with tears of blood as he looked at Ning Chen.
Ning Chen: “…”
Ning Chen said impatiently: "Ah, okay, okay, you win."
Ah Chao curled his lips, rubbed his mother's hand again, and whispered, "I don't know what to do. I can only go back in time, but going back in time can only make them become like normal people, and then experience death again."
"...Brother, I really can't remember how many times I have seen it." Ah Chao murmured.
Ning Chen: “…”
Ning Chen sighed, as if he was totally unaware of the current atmosphere. He rubbed the kid's head and said, "Watch this."
Ning Chen turned around and walked away. When passing by Xie Tingyun, he took away his Wind Riding Sword and said, "Without those high-level monsters, your defense formation can withstand it, right?"
"No, then." Xie Tingyun glanced at him and said, "What do you want to do?"
Ning Chen raised his sword and kicked the wooden door open. His tall figure gradually disappeared under the chaotic and dark sky. He said nonchalantly, "Go find that dear big demon and tell him how delicious his consciousness is."
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Xie Tingyun quickly followed him, frowning and saying, "Don't you know the concept of a high-level demon? The demons that can be called demons are only at the Mahayana level or above. Even if they are taken out alone, they can give you demons a headache for a while. What's more, there are more than one in the beast tide. How can you fight them?"
Does this guy really think that he can kill all the big monsters in the Endless Forest in seconds just by bumping into their spiritual consciousness?
Ning Chen did not stop, sneered and said: "Did you underestimate yourself or did you underestimate me? Do you think everyone is like you? A Mahayana can still jump around in front of me, who is in the state of nirvana, for so long and nothing happened?"
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Although Xie Tingyun felt that this was a compliment to him, in this situation, being too arrogant was obviously not a good thing.
Ning Chen suddenly stopped, his dark red eyes that were always sharp now looked down at Xie Tingyun silently, and said: "Then I won't go, then what? Will you go? How will you go? Or should we go by ourselves? Or take Ah Chao with you? Ah Chao doesn't have any ghost energy now, he is a living person, right? Do you think he is willing to leave in his condition? Or do you still want to take away all the ghosts in the village? How do you take them away?"
“…”
Ning Chen sighed, turned around and walked away, saying casually: "You are so hesitant, you don't act like a human saint at all."
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Xie Tingyun was silent for a while, then said softly, "You can leave by yourself. How do you know that I can't do it?"
Ning Chen was amused: "Then tell me, what can you do?"
Xie Tingyun did not answer. He just stared at Ning Chen for a long time and said, "Tianxiao, you have changed."
Ning Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face.
He snorted softly, "Change? Do you understand the demons? Do you understand me? Why do you say it will change? If you still use stereotypes to make your point, I will take your sword and run away after I find the big demon."
"..." Xie Tingyun: "No, you... Chengfeng provoked you!"
Ning Chen suddenly took a step forward, and the distance between them was suddenly shortened a lot. Ning Chen lowered his head slightly, and their noses almost touched.
Xie Tingyun paused for a moment.
Xie Tingyun heard the magnetic voice whispering in his ear: "Xie Tingyun, I want you to be careful. No one can force me to do it or not."
Ning Chen smiled, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife: "Similarly, no one can stop me from doing what I want to do."
“…”
After saying this, Ning Chen picked up his sword and turned away.
He didn't care that Xie Tingyun was still standing behind him. He raised the Chengfeng Sword in his hand. He felt unhappy when he thought of the Chengfeng Sword making an "X" sign to him before, so he lowered his voice and threatened: "You, make a heart sign to me with the tassel of your sword. Hurry up. If you don't, I will use you to kill monsters and not wipe the blood off the sword. I will put you on your master's neck and let you make a heart sign to me."
Ning Chen said viciously, "Your master wears white every day. He likes cleanliness, right? You don't want blood to stain him, do you?"
Wind Riding Sword: “?!!!”
Cheng Feng Jian was almost mad at Ning Chen and was afraid that this famous madman would really do such a thing, so he submitted to the majesty of the Demon Lord and endured the humiliation while trembling with the tassel of his sword and making a heart shape to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen was satisfied then: "It should have been like this earlier, whoever uses it will be rewarded, how fair, isn't it?"
Double standards? It doesn’t matter, Ning Shen will make one for himself.
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Xie Tingyun said angrily: "Tianxiao! How can you be so proud of yourself for bullying a sword?!"
Ning Chen listened to the angry voice behind him and stepped out of the defense formation with satisfaction.
The defensive formation enveloped the entire village. There were already countless monsters outside attacking the formation. Now, even if Ning Chen released his pressure again, it would be difficult to scare these small monsters.
They seemed to have completely lost their minds, and only knew to obey the orders of high-level monsters, not even afraid of death.
However, the real threat to the operation of the formation comes from the attack of the big demon.
High-level monsters are really easy to find. After all, a few human figures suddenly appearing among a group of monsters are really conspicuous, especially when they seem to have deep anger on their faces. Every monster passing by them has to hold its tail and be careful, for fear of being affected.
With such a big force, you're really worried that Ning Chen won't be able to find anyone when he comes out, right?
Ning Chen had eaten a bite of the other person's consciousness after all, and he still remembered the arrogant aura of the monster. He looked between the three humanoid monsters for a while, and asked curiously: "Hey, why isn't the friend I bit before here? Why didn't he come? It's delicious, can I have another bite?"
Big demons: “…………”
The three great demons were extremely angry!

The cat just wants a bite of food and a heart, what's wrong with that?
ps No one can stop Ning Chen from doing what he wants to do. When Xiao Xie's old-fashioned master found out that the Demon King had taken his son away, and his innocent disciple even helped to cover for him, he was furious and wanted to beat him up. However, Ning Chen sneaked into Xiao Xie's room at night, and then took the initiative to open the door and greet Xiao Xie's master who came to check on him the next morning^^
