The Wild Boar Demon's corpse shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the surrounding demonic energy rapidly flowed into the beast skin.
Soon, the red light receded, and the beast skin fell back into Zhang You's hand, motionless.
Suddenly, fragmented information appeared in his mind.
It turned out that there was a space within this beast skin, but it was damaged and needed to absorb energy to recover.
Zhang You looked at the irregularly shaped beast skin. Perhaps due to the limited recovery, he couldn't see any difference from before.
He pondered for a moment, keeping the beast skin in mind, and then put it away.
Although he believed that "pies might fall from the sky," in this world, it was better to be cautious!
After seven instances of Great Body Tempering, Zhang You's senses had become very keen. At this moment, relying on his sharp hearing, he could already sense people rapidly approaching from the east and north.
With no time to think, he hurried back towards Xiaolin City.
Xiaolin City was to the west, so he wouldn't encounter the approaching people.
Not long after he left, two groups of people arrived, both from the Demon Suppression Guard.
"A great battle has occurred here again, and this is the last place the Wild Boar Demon was seen!"
After surveying the surroundings, one of the middle-aged men reached this conclusion.
This person was a squad leader under Pang Biao, named Fang Ping, who had already reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm.
"There's a pool of blood here, confirmed to be from the Wild Boar Demon, but we don't know its fate."
A Demon Suppression Guard squatted at the spot where the Wild Boar Demon had fallen, a trace of blood still clinging to his finger.
"Regardless, let's scout the area a bit more. If we find nothing, we'll return to the city."
Fang Ping waved his hand, and the others quickly dispersed. He remained in his original spot.
"Such dense residual blood and qi! It's the aura of a human! Could it be an evil cultivator?"
Sensing carefully, his expression turned serious, and he approached the place where Zhang You had been sitting.
After a final look at the nearby Mass Grave Hill yielded nothing, he also left the area.
Zhang You returned to Xiaolin City without taking too long.
It was already past midnight.
The Demon Suppression Guards ambushing in the south and west of the city had all been deployed. Led by an old Daoist, they were pursuing the evil spirit responsible for the headless corpse case!
A headless corpse!
There was a slight breeze that night, making it exceptionally desolate.
To return, he had to pass through the vegetable market.
"Patta, patta..."
Suddenly, Zhang You heard something approaching him, and his brow furrowed.
He circulated the blood qi within his body and slowly turned around.
"Hee hee hee..."
Then, a woman's giggling sound could be heard.
The surroundings began to fill with Yin energy, and blood began to flow from the buildings and the ground.
The ten headless corpses hanging from the poles in the center of the vegetable market even began to struggle and move.
"Pop... pop... pop..."
Soon, heads made of condensed blood grew from the necks of the headless corpses, their mouths opening wide as they slowly spoke: "Give me back my head! Give me back my head..."
As soon as the words fell, the ropes binding them snapped, and the ten corpses crashed to the ground simultaneously, their bodies dislocated.
"Crack..."
Then, the bones within the ten corpses creaked, and they slowly stood up, walking towards Zhang You at a leisurely pace.
"Hee hee hee, little brother, play with me!"
At this moment, the female voice echoed again from all directions, and there was more than one.
Zhang You took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and looked around, noticing bloody footprints walking towards him.
At this moment, he remembered the Blood Shadow he encountered in the courtyard yesterday. They were likely working together!
Were they planning revenge?
Thinking of this, Zhang You's lips curled into a cold smile.
Although he could feel that these entities were much stronger than the one from yesterday, he had also become stronger!

He felt that, by the principle of reciprocal positivity, he should be stronger than them!
"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Shatter Void!"
Zhang You's blood qi surged, and he instantly unleashed a claw strike forward.
"Ah..."
A miserable scream echoed, followed by a spray of blood mist ahead.
But in the blink of an eye, the blood mist condensed again, reforming into a human shape, and lunged forward.
Zhang Lin quickly clawed, his blood energy surging, and gripped the opponent's neck.
The Blood Shadow solidified considerably, struggling frantically, but to no avail.
Its two hands tried to attack Zhang Lin, but they were blocked by a layer of blood energy around his body.
At this moment, other Blood Shadows also charged forward.
"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Thunderclap!"
Zhang Lin summoned the White Tiger from his dantian this time. A deafening tiger roar erupted, carrying a trace of lightning, and instantly spread out.
The charging Blood Shadows exploded, turning into ashes.
The eight blue-white energies were also absorbed by Zhang Lin.
The headless corpse behind was also flipped to the ground, and its condensed blood head immediately dissipated.
Ten blue-white energies were pocketed again.
The Blood Shadow in Zhang Lin's hand was more tenacious. Despite taking a direct hit, it still hadn't dissipated.
"Let's see if you still don't die!"
A current surged from his arm directly into the Blood Shadow.
Before the Blood Shadow could even cry out, it vanished into thin air.
Zhang Lin absorbed another blue-white energy and felt that although he had indeed become much stronger, it was still a bit lacking compared to what he obtained from the Wild Boar Demon.
"Crack..."
The surroundings seemed to shatter, and all the anomalies gradually disappeared, but the ten headless corpses still lay on the ground.
"I want your life!"
At the same time, at the Laifu Inn in the southern part of the city, an old woman who had just coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, radiating killing intent, leaped out of the window and sped towards Zhang Lin.
When Zhang Lin unleashed Thunderclap, many cultivators in the city heard it, and some who considered themselves very powerful were rushing over.
Zhang Lin also sensed various auras, both strong and weak, heading his way and didn't intend to linger.
But it was still too late.
"Thump!"
A headless figure instantly landed in the marketplace. It was the headless corpse evil that the old Daoist and the Demon Suppression Guard were pursuing.
It had fallen into an ambush and was almost scattered by the old Daoist. In its panic, it sensed the rich blood energy here and fled in this direction.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it arrived, it saw a young man whose body was still emitting a delicious blood aura.
It was as if it had seen some miracle pill, so without a second thought, and without even noticing its surroundings, it charged forward.
It felt that by absorbing the young man's blood, it could recover its strength, even advance further, and turn the tide.
Its long claws, like deadly weapons, exuded a chilling aura, with un-dried bloodstains on them.
It ferociously swiped at the young man, showing no mercy.
"Young man, quickly dodge!"
At this moment, the old Daoist caught up first and immediately saw the situation on the scene.
A talisman appeared in his hand, and with a surge of spiritual power, arcs of electricity erupted from the talisman.
He threw it towards the headless evil!
Immediately after, he used his movement technique, charging forward like the wind, hoping to save Zhang Lin.
"Too late!"
A voice came from the headless evil, and it actually burned its essence blood, enduring the talisman's attack.
It accelerated again, instantly appearing before Zhang Lin, and fiercely slashed down.
"What do you want?"
Zhang Lin looked at the headless corpse speechlessly!
