Chapter 203 Han Xianren
The remaining men in black looked at each other and made a quick decision. Four of them, knives in hand, attacked Nan Xiao.
Lu Huai shouted, "Xiaoxiao, be careful."
"Wow, you guys are so generous. I asked for two, but you gave me four. Then when I ask you for spirit stones, will you give me double as well?"
Nan Xiao was agile and dodged the attack with a jump.
She turned to Lu Huai and said loudly, "I can handle it. You deal with the ones in front of you first."
"OK."
Nan Xiao used vines to quickly move between the trees, and the man in black could not catch her at all.
She immediately mocked him, "I thought you were so powerful, but you're nothing more than this."
The men in black gradually surrounded Nan Xiao from four corners, trapping him in the middle.
Seeing that she had no way to retreat, four men in black came forward with knives in hand, full of murderous intent.
This arrogant and foul-mouthed girl must be hacked to death with a knife.
Nan Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, here it comes.
The moment the men in black approached her, four scorching blades appeared from nowhere, striking at their vital points. At the same time, Xiaoya wrapped herself around her waist, pulling them away from the area.
Several men in black tried to hide, but were immediately restrained by Xiaoya. It wouldn't take long before their lives were taken in an instant.
Nan Xiao looked at the black-clad men on Lu Huai's side, who were almost all down, and said quickly, "Hey, don't kill them all, leave some alive."
"good."
Lu Huai retracted the sword that was on the man in black and attacked with a palm strike, seriously injuring him.
Nan Xiao asked Xiaoya to tie the man up.
She asked, "What's going on?"
Lu Huai put away his spirit sword, his expression calm and he said slowly, "I didn't find anything here, so I thought I'd meet up with you first."
He paused briefly, looking at the timid girl, frowning as he said, "Then she appeared from nowhere, saw me and ran away. It was so hard to find someone, so I naturally wouldn't let her go easily, so I chased her. Just as I caught her, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out. You probably know what happened next."
Xiaoya only took the girl to a safe place, but did not restrict her movements.
The girl hid behind a big tree and observed for a long time. After confirming that the two men were not in the same group as the man in black, she carefully moved towards Nan Xiao and the other man.
She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, looked at the two men and timidly asked, "Are you here to save our immortal?"
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai looked at each other.
Judging from the tone of their voice, they sound like villagers from Heshun Village.
Nan Xiao just took a step forward and wanted to ask about the situation, but the frightened girl quickly took several steps back.
Nan Xiao: “…”
This girl is so timid. If she had known earlier, she would have restrained herself a little and not been so bloody.
She softened her voice and said gently, "Don't be afraid, sister. We are not bad people."
"We are disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect. Following our master's orders, we have come to investigate the disappearances of people in Heshun Village. I wonder if you are from this village?"
Lu Huai glanced at Nan Xiao leisurely.
This is the first time I've seen someone smile so seriously.
"That's great."
The panic on the girl's face instantly gave way to joy. Her voice trembled with excitement as she nodded repeatedly, "My name is Ping'an, and I'm from Heshun Village. Immortals, thank you for finally coming. Things have been horrible in the village these days. So many people have disappeared inexplicably, including my younger brother... Immortals, could you please help save my brother?"
As she spoke, the girl's eyes became red and she began to sob.
Nan Xiao comforted him softly, "Such a beautiful girl, it would be ugly if her face was covered with tears."
"We're here specifically to deal with this matter. Can you tell us in detail about the situation here? Where are the other villagers? Have you seen any of our fellow disciples?"
Nan Xiao asked several questions in a row.
Ping An rubbed his face twice and said solemnly, "Two immortals, follow me."
She led the way, talking about the situation in Heshun Village as she walked.
"Half a year ago, people started disappearing from the village one after another, all of them young laborers."
"At the time, no one thought much of it. They just thought they were going out to make a living. After all, we're a small place with few opportunities, so it's normal for young people to go out and explore the world."
"But later, more and more people disappeared, even the village chief's stupid son disappeared. That's when everyone realized something was wrong."
Ping'an bit his lower lip, his eyes once again filled with fear. He spoke tremblingly, "Rumors started spreading in the village that some mountain demon was causing trouble, targeting the young and strong. As soon as it got dark, every household closed their doors and windows, but even so, people still disappeared."
"Later, we had no other choice but to ask the immortal for help. But we found that we couldn't get out no matter what."
Nan Xiao frowned and asked doubtfully, "Can't get out???"
Ping An nodded vigorously: "Yes, it means exactly what it says. We can't get out. We are trapped here and can't get out of the scope of Heshun Village."
Lu Huai's eyes narrowed slightly as he pressed on, "Since you couldn't get out, how did you send out a distress signal?"
Nan Xiao didn't say anything, waiting for Ping'an's answer.
When coming in, Xiaoya did not speak, which meant that there was no formation blocking the entrance.
Moreover, her spiritual jade and bracelet can be used normally, which shows that this is not an independent space.
There is no formation and it is not a closed space, so how can we not get out?
Ping An continued, "Two months ago, a Han immortal strayed into the village. He said the village was shrouded in an evil spirit, the product of ancient evil thoughts. This evil spirit specifically sucked the essence of young people and hid very deeply. The immortal said that his magical power was not yet sufficient to deal with the evil spirit, so he could only help send out a distress signal."
"Not long after Immortal Han sent out his distress signal, quite a few more immortals arrived one after another," Ping An said, taking a deep look at the two of them. "They must be the two immortals' fellow disciples."
"Han Xianren said that the evil spirit was hiding in the deep mountains, so they followed Han Xianren into the mountains and never came out again. Only Han Xianren came out alive."
"Han Xianren said that the evil spirit deep in the mountains was too powerful. He and several other immortals were separated and only managed to escape by luck."
Nan Xiao looked up at the sky, which was blue with white clouds and a clear blue sky.
After hearing what Ping'an said, she didn't know whether there was any evil spirit or not, but it was true that there were ghosts.
This Han Xianren is really interesting. He is so bold that he even pretends to be a ghost and comes to the gate of their sect.
Ping An led the two of them further and further away, and then stopped at a mountain wall.
She placed her hand on a stone and explained, "My two immortals, because the evil spirit is so terrifying, Immortal Han helped us find a new hiding place. As long as we don't go out on weekdays, we will be fine."
Ping An twisted the stone, and the stone wall in front of him slowly rose up.
Lu Huai and Nan Xiao looked at each other, and neither of them moved.
Ping'an walked in first. She stood inside the cave and waved to the two of them.
"Two immortals, we are here."
