The person opposite, whose mind was not very sharp to begin with, became even more sluggish after Shi Xuan's coaxing.
In the end, he succumbed to his own desire to know more about God.
He said rather reluctantly in a gruff voice, "What's the point of knowing about the officials? Their residence is heavily guarded. Even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to get in."
Whether I can get in or not is my problem. Just tell me where he is.
The guard commander pursed his lips and said, "It's not even here yet..."
He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.
At this moment, it wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but rather that he couldn't speak.
His body stiffened instantly, and within two breaths, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared from the spot.
Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi were both extremely surprised. They did not sense any spiritual energy fluctuations at all. It was as if this person was a manufactured doll that disappeared into thin air when the time was up and the spiritual energy was exhausted.
But Shi Xuan had already made his own judgment.
"He disappeared just as he was about to speak, which means he knew that, combined with the information we just received, people here cannot leave Wanjian Village. Therefore, we can deduce that the place he was talking about must be here," Shi Xuan said, looking at the group.
Lu Shenzhi nodded: "Wanjian Village is such a small place, even if we search the whole place, it won't take much time."
Shi Xuan said, "The problem is that we are now exposed, and they may be prepared."
The battle with the guards was so big, and Wanjian Village is only such a small place; now everyone probably knows about it.
And the fact that they killed the guards was no small matter.
Tang Nong thought about the scene of their fight just now and said, "When we were fighting with the guards, the villagers on the street did not react at all. I observed another steamed bun stall, and the man who was making steamed buns never stopped."
“So the residents here are not reacting to the outside world. As long as those leaders don’t come out, everything will be fine,” Lu Shenzhi said. “Then we can still go in now. I wonder what other tricks they have up their sleeves for us.”
“Then let’s go in first,” Shi Xuan said. “If we are attacked again, run in this direction. We can talk about other things after we get out.”
The group of five once again walked openly into the street in the middle of Wanjian Village.
Just as they had guessed, the people on the street were busy with their own things, ignoring them and showing no reaction whatsoever.
This time, Shi Xuan chose to stay at an inn.
Last time, they had already closed before dark.
The five of them entered the only inn on the street, where the waiter greeted them with a smile, as if he had no idea what they had just done.
"Welcome, sirs!" the waiter greeted them warmly.
The group walked into the inn. At this time, some guests had already checked in, and a few were eating in the lobby.
Shi Xuan said, "Waiter, bring two of the best rooms, side by side!"
"Alright!" the waiter announced, "Two superior rooms side by side, each a top-class room!"
Then, he led five people up to the second floor and chose two rooms in the middle of a row of south-facing rooms.
"You can go down now," Shi Xuan said. "I'll call you if anything happens. You don't need to come up unless there's anything else."
"Alright!" The waiter obediently left.
The five of them had no intention of staying here. At that moment, the waiter left, and the five of them went into the same room.
Shi Xuan said, "Let's not go out for now, and check the situation outside tonight."
Tang Nong looked around the room and thought the environment was quite nice. She pulled at the bed curtains and said, "Judging from the reactions of those people yesterday, the demon beasts should only be able to move around outside. We should be safe staying in the room this time."
What she said made a lot of sense, but she was quickly proven wrong.
As night fell, the monsters, who were not expected to enter the room, unexpectedly rushed into the inn.
Before dark, Shi Xuan watched as the waiter locked the door. In the past, there had never been any cases of monsters entering the house and harming people, so no one could have imagined that this routine would be broken tonight!
When the inn's door was smashed open, a large number of demonic beasts rushed in from outside. They entered the courtyard with ferocious expressions and charged straight towards where Shi Xuan and the others were, giving the impression of being organized and obeying orders.
Seeing the army approaching, Shi Xuan and the other four jumped out of the window.
Outside their window was a courtyard. After the group jumped down, the monsters seemed to automatically lock onto them, and spontaneously stopped trying to enter, focusing solely on charging towards them.
"Go ahead and fight."
The only option now is to fight.
The five of them rejoined the monster-fighting segment from the previous night. This time, Shi Xuan released Jin Dada and Jin Duoduo.
There is no better weapon than the Sunfire to deal with these demonic beasts.
Sure enough, when the two three-legged golden crows appeared, their flames caused widespread damage to the ghostly beasts.
The monsters fell one after another, but more came from behind, wave after wave.
However, a quarter of an hour later, they discovered that the approaching monsters were getting stronger and stronger.
Last night, all the monsters were at the Foundation Establishment stage, but today they have become Golden Core stage monsters and are gradually getting stronger!
At this point, even Lu Wenxing couldn't believe that the monsters' attack tonight wasn't aimed at them.
At this moment, they went from being able to deal with the monsters like cutting vegetables last night to now having to be on their guard.
An hour later, the demonic beasts that attacked them were no longer at the Foundation Establishment stage, but had become at least at the Golden Core stage.
Shi Xuan felt something was wrong. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with them being attacked by a monster, but rather that with such a commotion, the innkeepers and guests were completely unresponsive.
No one panicked and fled; it seemed that only a few of them remained in the entire courtyard.
Could it be that everyone here follows a set routine, just like those on the street?
Thinking of this, Shi Xuan suddenly jumped out of the battle and said to Lu Shenzhi, "Senior Brother, I'll go inside the inn and take Jin Dada to hold them off."
After Shi Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and rushed back to the courtyard where they originally lived.
Seeing that some of the monsters were fleeing, some of them hurriedly tried to follow, but a burst of solar fire attacked from the front, burning the leading monsters to ashes.
Those behind wanted to go forward, but Jin Dada and Jin Duoduo blocked the way Shi Xuan went, preventing any of the monsters from passing and keeping them all in place.
Shi Xuan returned to the inn alone and began looking up from the first floor.
As a result, all the inn's staff, manager, and guests disappeared.
I searched every room, but there was no one there!
