Chapter 20

Tan Ying!

A haunting name suddenly appeared in Zhang Zheng's mind.

With her pitiful posture and polite attitude, Tan Ying quickly won the recognition of the other monks, and they all said they didn't need to care.

Zhang Zheng felt miraculous when watching this scene. The last time they met in a martial arts field, Tan Ying was ruthless and cut off both legs of another person in front of the public.

How dare she pretend to be so innocent and lovely, without fear of being exposed?

But she soon understood why.

In the world of cultivation, cultivation is a matter of strength. Even if he is a ruthless monk or even a demon cultivator, as long as his cultivation is strong enough and he can stand at the top of the world of cultivation, he will win many supporters.

What's more, last time it happened in a martial arts arena, which was more like a fighting arena. Broken arms and legs were commonplace. As long as the injured male cultivator didn't go out to publicize it, who would care about it.

Zhang Zheng thought about it for a while. Tan Ying over there had finished getting close to someone and was already walking towards Zhang Zheng. His sparkling eyes were staring at her affectionately and he was about to start a conversation with her.

Zhang Zheng always felt that as long as she was around, this trip would go astray again. But now that he was here, he couldn't give up all his efforts, so he had to suppress his uneasiness.

She didn't want to talk to her, they weren't familiar with her.

Zhang Zheng quickly changed the subject, turned to Wu Ribin and the others and said, "Since everyone is here, let's discuss countermeasures."

Tan Ying, who was completely ignored, didn't care at all about her indifference and answered the conversation without any grudge.

"Senior Sister Zhengzheng is right, let's discuss countermeasures first."

What the hell is it called?

Zhang Zheng was so shouted that she had goosebumps all over her body. He was about to tell her that if they were unfamiliar, please don't call her that.

As a result, Tan Ying learned her trick and directly took over the topic.

"I arrived a while before my brothers and sisters, so I quietly explored the town."

"There doesn't seem to be anything strange about the town. The residents live and work in peace and contentment and perform their duties. But something is wrong. Almost all the residents look fearful and uneasy. They look at the sun in the west from time to time, as if they are waiting for death."

"Waiting for the death penalty?" Cao Ran repeated, guessing: "It's daytime now. Could it mean that something bad will happen at night if they look at the sun frequently?"

Wu Ribin thought for a while and agreed: "That should be the case. Some demon cultivators really like to do things at night."

Now the sun has touched the top of the mountain, and the brilliant sunlight has stained the carmine clouds, half of the sky is dazzlingly red, like red vermilion and red blood.

Since the demonic cultivators might come out at night, they would just wait outside for now.

After deciding on the method, a few people divided into three groups in twos and twos to surround the entire town and ambush them.

Tan Ying naturally wanted to be with Zhang Zheng, but naturally one of the parties involved was also very unhappy.

There was no other way, Zhang Zheng was unwilling to be paired with Tan Ying. After her stern refusal, the two were in a stalemate, and Wu Ribin had to act as a peacemaker.

In the end, Tan Ying, with tears in her eyes, could only stand where she was, looking resentfully at Zhang Zheng and Yang Haochuan as they "sleeped and flew together", just like a resentful woman watching her husband go out to have sex with his concubine.

Zhang Zheng and the two moved to the southwest of the town. They found a stone as a cover and activated the hidden breath charm to cover up their aura. They then lurked in place motionless like a scarecrow.

After about two hours, the sun had completely set, the hooked moon took over the sky, the stars twinkled, and the cool light fell on the earth.

Not a single unusual movement was seen.

Under the inspection with spiritual consciousness, the town was peaceful and peaceful. People had turned off the lights and went to sleep. It was peaceful and there was no sign of the demons causing trouble.

Zhang Zheng really found it strange. Logically speaking, if there was no demon invasion here, why would the governor lie to them?

No, there must be demons here. She also used her spiritual sense to explore the town, and the residents' reaction was exactly as Tan Ying said. In this case, there is a high probability that demons will act at night.

Yang Haochuan held the communication talisman and asked about the situation of the other two groups.

Soon, the communication talisman lit up, and Cao Ran's voice came from it, "There is nothing unusual here."

Suddenly, Wu Ribin's anxious voice sounded, "The demon cultivator showed up, two of them in total. We fought and injured one of them, but let them escape into the town."

"Senior Brother Wu is in danger, let's go and help!" Cao Ran shouted loudly, and the next moment, his voice had disappeared.

Yang Haochuan also immediately stood up, picked up the magic weapon and rushed into the town.

Zhang Zheng felt something was wrong, but had no time to think, so he could only follow him to the town.

Yang Haochuan moved quickly. Because Zhang Zheng was hesitant, they quickly distanced themselves. In the blink of an eye, Yang Haochuan's figure had entered the town and disappeared around the corner.

Zhang Zheng braked suddenly and stopped one meter away from the town.

She knew something was wrong!

Since there are demons causing trouble in the town, why don't these residents run away quickly? Instead, they stay in the town in fear.

Furthermore, the town is so quiet at night, so eerily quiet. In a village like this, if every household has cats and dogs, there will definitely be someone who raises them to look after the house.

But there was not a single living thing other than humans in this town. Not even the cicadas chirped and the frogs croaked.

so……

The demon cultivator is planning to lure them into the town! There must be a trap in the town!

Zhang Zheng just figured it out and immediately took out the communication talisman to contact other people. However, the message he sent seemed to be lost in the sea, and there was no response.

At this time, a piercing scream suddenly came from the town, and Zhang Zheng recognized that it was Cao Ran's voice.

Something happened to Cao Ran.

Zhang Zheng had no choice now. At this point, it didn't matter if she figured out what the problem was. As fellow sect members and even partners on a mission together, she couldn't leave them behind.

Furthermore, entering is not necessarily a dead end.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Zheng circulated spiritual energy around him, rushed straight into the town, and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.

There is a dead end here, and a stiff corpse lies on the narrow ground.

Her complexion was green and black, and the skin all over her body was sunken, as if she had black skin wrapped around her bones. The flesh and blood inside had disappeared, and it was impossible to tell who she was from her face.

Zhang Zheng carefully explored the body and found that the body was wearing Cao Ran's clothes and had a gray-brown storage bag hanging around his waist.

It was most likely Cao Ran. Zhang Zheng was frightened by this realization.

From the moment she heard the scream to the time she rushed over, in just one minute, Cao Ran changed from a living person to such a skinny corpse.

This time the demon cultivator is definitely not easy to deal with.

At this time, a cry for help rang out not far away, this time it was Tan Ying's.

Although I don't like Tan Ying, this is not the time to focus on personal likes and dislikes. They are from the same sect, and being together at this moment will give them more strength and more chances of survival.

Zhang Zheng didn't dare to delay for even a minute, so he used extreme vigilance and quickly rushed to the location of the sound.

Tan Ying's face was pale and her expression was in a daze. The soft sword was tightly held in her hand, but she could not lift the sword to attack.

In front of her was a black-robed figure, his palms twisted into claws, about to dig into Tan Ying's Tianling Cap.

Seeing this, Zhang Zheng was horrified and threw the dagger violently. The dagger came out of his hand and turned into a lightning crossbow and flew away at high speed.

The man in black robe sensed the crisis and did not dare to confront him head-on. He simply retracted his palm and escaped with a few jumps, disappearing into the night.

Zhang Zheng suppressed her anxiety and asked, "Are you poisoned? Can you cure it?"

Tan Ying regained her composure a little, took out the detoxifying pill from her storage bag, took it, adjusted her breathing for a while, and finally returned to normal.

She looked anxious and said worriedly: "Senior Brother Lu, he went after one of the demon cultivators. But I don't know how the poison got into my body. I didn't notice it at all before. When the demon cultivator attacked me, it suddenly broke out.

It’s very violent. I’m afraid Senior Brother Lu was also poisoned.”
