Anything else?

Li Yan Although he was surprised, his movements were not slow.

He took out the ultimatum from his arms, his mind sank, and the surrounding area was immediately enveloped in thick fog.

Li Yan is already familiar with this process.

Without wasting any time, he suddenly accelerated forward and passed through two Owl Zuns in a few breaths, arriving at the square of the main hall where the mission was assigned.

I secretly looked at the sky along the way, but there was nothing unusual.

Li Yan is not surprising. Judging from past experience, Judge Cui is not always there. This place should be some kind of treasure that connects the legal world and the human world. Even if there is no one, it can still operate normally.

Taking another closer look, Stone Well Black Water is indeed a culprit.

He stepped forward and pressed his hand on the edge of the well. As the black water swirled, the information about the criminal became clear to his mind.

Chen Hui: Nicknamed "Ditch Snake Master".

This person was from the Southern Song Dynasty Lizong's Duanping period, and was the leader of the Snake Cult at that time.

Although Lin'an City at that time faced the threat of Golden Horde Wolf Country from the north, it was also the most prosperous city with a dense population and a large and complex drainage system that crisscrossed the city underground, just like another "reflected city".

These ditches are responsible for sewage and flood discharge, but because of their darkness and secrecy, they have become a hotbed for vagrants, criminals, and even various secret activities in Lin'an City.

Although there is official management, the deepest and most remote ditches are still outside the law. These things are mentioned in the "Menglianglu" of this world.

The identity of Chen Hui is also very complicated.

He was the leader of the Snake Cult, the founder of the largest gang in Lin'an City at the time, "Snake Eye Society", and an important figure in the Great Song Ghost Sect. He presided over many appalling ghost sacrificial rituals.

Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, and the demons of the Ghost Sect, led by Zhao Changsheng, defected to Golden Horde Wolf Country. However, Chen Hui was besieged by many Daoist masters at that time. Although he escaped with great skill, he was seriously injured.

He was destined to die, but this guy had a trick to save his life.

The Snake Cult has a secret technique, similar to the Turtle Breathing Technique, which allows you to temporarily fake death. You only need to be buried in a very yin place, set up a great Feng Shui formation, and perform sacrifices using secret techniques. Every ten days, a layer of skin will be shed.

After the seven, seventy-nine layers of skin are shed, you can be reborn.

Although he has become half human and half demon, he can at least survive.

Chen Hui hid here. After several rounds of shedding and rebirth, his strength returned to its peak, and he even became an Earth Immortal. However, the world has changed, Daxing is on the verge of destruction, and Daxuan was first built.

He neither dared to seek refuge in Xuanmen and practice in the cave, nor dared to appear casually in the human world, lest he be noticed by heaven and earth, so he could only hide in this barren mountain and become a wild immortal.

This distant relative of the Zhang family is his puppet.

He lied that the immortal had given Prosperity, but in fact secretly controlled the capture of children for blood sacrifice.

The murder of the Zhang family was an act of silence.

Exiting the space and opening his eyes, Li Yan felt murderous intent boiling in his chest.

When he came into contact with Yellow Springs Organization, he knew the classification of these Earth Immortal Netherworld Criminal.

Hidden in famous mountains and rivers, protected by Orthodox Xuan Gate, they are called hidden immortals.

These people hiding in the deep mountains and wild mountains are called Mountain Immortal.

The main opponent of Yellow Springs Organization is Mountain Immortal.

Without the constraints of Xuanmen, it is indeed more lawless, not to mention the demons of the ghost sect!

Thinking of this, Li Yan restrained his energy more carefully, <North Emperor Black Water Escape>, covered by the night fog, quietly passed through the grass, shrubs, and dense forest of dead vines, and arrived halfway up the mountainside on the opposite side.

But where the flames jumped, the scene was strange.

Seven or eight Japanese people gathered around a pile of firewood in the center, and the flickering light of the fire reflected their ragged clothes and tired and frightened faces.

The ronin's sword was still stained with blood scabs, and the ninja's mask was torn, with veins popping out on half of his exposed face. Onmyoji, the only one wearing hunting clothes, had a face as gray as paper, and the fan in his hand could not hang down.

Obviously, this group of Japanese pirates also suffered heavy losses that night.

From time to time, they whispered in rapid and suppressed Japanese, but their eyes always looked at the open space in front of the tomb with unconcealable fear.

On that side were the two Ghost Opera Troupe who escaped.

These two fierce monsters, at this moment, knelt down in front of a tomb with great respect.

Facing the dark tomb door half-covered by vines, they lay on the ground with unusually solemn and pious postures. They muttered words in their mouths, emitting a strange, twisted syllable with ups and downs of glide.

This voice is unlike any dialect known to mankind. The syllables are short and superimposed, sometimes sharp like a Night Owl cry, sometimes low and gurgling.

Li Yan saw Lu San used, it is "Superior Language"!

Seeing this situation, Li Yan felt his heart sink.

The one hiding in the tomb should be Mountain Immortal Chen Hui.

At this distance, Gouji's induction is very clear.

But the other party is an individual, so "Superior Language" is usually used to communicate with different people.

Is it possible that there are other things?

After pondering for a moment, Li Yan took out the Gou ultimatum from his arms and held it in his hand.

No matter what he does, as long as you find the old demon's location, you can directly use the Yinsi soldiers and horses to take him away!

But when he picked up Divine Ability to investigate, he was dumbfounded.

The mountains and underground were more complicated and tortuous than he imagined.

The tomb is not closed, but extends in all directions and is densely covered with forks, like a maze.

All kinds of evil and strange auras must be full of restrictions.

What a cunning old demon!

Li Yan's eyelids twitched slightly and he had a slight headache.

According to the information, this Chen Hui, nicknamed "Ditch Snake Master", can stir up wind and rain in Lin'an City by relying on tunnels and ditches, so he must be good at earth escape.

I didn't expect that something like this would happen in this barren mountain.

Hundreds of years have become more than just a cunning rabbit's three burrows.

If you try to scare the snake away, you may scare the opponent away immediately.

Helpless, Li Yan had no choice but to continue waiting for the opportunity.

Outside the tomb opposite, Ghost Opera Troupe were still chanting respectfully.

The weird "Superior Language" hovered in the night sky, making the atmosphere even more depressing.

At this moment, Yellow Springs Wanderer, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stopped reciting, raised his head and kowtowed once in the direction of the deep tomb door, and then sternly scolded the Japanese by the fire, "Bring it over!"

As if they had been granted amnesty, several ronin and ninjas immediately jumped up and roughly dragged out a few small figures huddled in the shadows of the corner!

They were four children with torn clothes and faces covered with tears and dirt.

They were shivering, their mouths were tied with cloth strips, and they could only whimper in despair.

One of the older boys seemed to be trying to struggle, but was knocked to the ground by a ronin.

Blood sacrifice!

Li Yan's eyes immediately became sharp.

Especially when he heard those Japanese dialects and the cries of children, it made him even more murderous.

"Who!"

Yellow Springs Wanderer is a profound practitioner, and when he felt the murderous intention, he turned around and yelled fiercely.

"Your grandpa!"

Li Yan shouted loudly, suddenly shattering the dead silence of the mountain col!

Almost at the same time as the first word was spoken, he shot out from his hiding place.

With his feet exerting force, North Emperor Swift Travel Technique cooperated with Martial Arts's "shrinking into an inch", causing his body to pull out an afterimage, Blade Light flashed, and rushed directly to the location of the group of Japanese people and the kidnapped children.

I wanted to use the ultimatum, but Chen Hui would undoubtedly be frightened away.

In the flash of lightning, the Japanese pirates beside the fire were horrified.

A ronin subconsciously drew out his sword, but Blade Light dodged past him, and Li Yan swept past him with the force of wind and thunder. Without any tricks, Severing Dust Blade cut him in half.

Immediately, Li Yan and Side Step Shoulder Shift avoided the Japanese Sword that was slashing from the side. He raised his left hand slightly and started Armguard Thousand Thoughts. The palm of his hand crackled with lightning and flashed, imprinting on the chest of a ninja.

This ninja has a heavy Killing Intent, so he must be familiar with escape techniques, so Li Yan also uses martial arts.

"Bang--!"

The teeth-searing sound of bone cracking!

The ninja didn't even hum, and his entire chest collapsed instantly.

The whole person flew upside down like a rag bag for several feet, hit the rocks behind, and made no sound anymore.

Blood spurted out from his seven orifices as if being squeezed, staining the cold rocks and the edges of the bonfire red.

The smell of blood exploded instantly!

On the contrary, these Japanese people were aroused to be ferocious.

Almost instantly, two shurikens tempered with blue light roared towards him.

The target turned out to be those children, and it was obvious that he wanted to focus on one thing and not the other.

However, Li Yan's spiritual thoughts have already locked onto the audience.

He twisted his body, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, and his two shurikens flew away from his sleeves.

While turning around, raise your left hand slightly.

Clang!

The dragon roared.

Two Soul Severing Throwing Knifes roared out.

Flying up and down in the swaying firelight.

In the blink of an eye, four or five Japanese pirates around him were stabbed through the chest.

This all happens between breaths.

Li Yan has rescued several children and is protecting them.

"It's you!"

Ghost Opera Troupe Class leader Yellow Springs Wanderer was shocked and angry.

He had already learned what happened. He originally wanted to trap Li Yan in Wang Maode's house, but he didn't expect that even the things that were used to transport Pressing Qi would be destroyed.

This Li Yan is more difficult to deal with than rumored.

"That's right!"

Li Yan sneered, "It's your grandpa and I, no one can escape today!"

After saying that, Severing Dust Blade moved horizontally, sparkling with lightning.

Only three of the Japanese pirates were killed. They had seen Li Yan and Soul Severing Throwing Knife, which could fly. They were already frightened. They winked at each other and prepared to escape.

But the reason why it didn't move was all because of Yellow Springs Wanderer.

They entered Divine Land, climbed mountains and ridges, and avoided numerous passes, all guided by someone. Yellow Springs Wanderer was their contact person in Yangzhou.

Without Fang Xiang help, there is no way to escape.

Moreover, I have also seen Yellow Springs Wanderer's methods, so I dare not act rashly.

As for Li Yan, his face was expressionless and he looked at everyone.

He knew that his identity could not be hidden from Yellow Springs Wanderer.

To report the situation at any time, please inform Mountain Immortal Chen Hui below.

It's better to raise suspicions and pretend that you don't know that there is a criminal hiding underground.

And this Yellow Springs Wanderer was also a ghost. He narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted, "He is Living Underworld Messenger. He can summon Yin soldiers. Let's retreat first!"

After saying that, he and Hua Dan Green Gauze Woman quickly retreated.

Li Yan frowned slightly and looked at the child behind him, but he didn't move.

Not long after Yellow Springs Wanderer ran out, seeing that Li Yan didn't chase him, a fierce smile appeared on his face, "Hahaha, if I guessed correctly, your Celestial Decree has been used up long ago, right?"

"Everyone stop!"

He gave the order, but the Japanese pirates pretended not to hear and continued to flee.

"Hmph!"

Yellow Springs Wanderer became angry and snorted coldly.

Huadan Green Gauze Woman covered her mouth and smiled, curled her orchid fingers, waved the bloody Blue Scarf in her hand, and sang plaintively. "The moon fell to the bottom of the dry well~ I saw the bones covered with wedding clothes~ Sir, how can you bear to close the door? I left the slave to hug the cold pillow and listen to the peeling clapper raining in the middle of the night..."

This song is adapted from the ghost tune of "Capturing San Lang Alive·Parasite Grass", incorporating the soft babbling rhymes of Wu dialect, and the song is sad and sorrowful, which Li Yan cannot understand at all.

However, when the Japanese pirates heard this, they felt as if they had heard a tight spell. They put their heads in their hands and screamed and rolled on the ground. They kowtowed to Yellow Springs Wanderer and ran back.

Li Yan Seeing this, his pupils suddenly shrank.

He has obtained the information of Yangzhou Ghost Opera Troupe from City God Temple.

This actress's name is Green Gauze Woman. She came from a humble background and was once a member of the Jiangnan troupe Zhu Zi.

Because of her beautiful appearance and melodious singing voice, she was taken as a concubine by a rich man. Due to her declining appearance and the jealousy of her first wife, she was framed and disfigured. She was buried in Mass Burial Grounds. Instead, she got a chance and practiced a secret technique with a stranger.

Controlling cat demons is just one of them. He can also use his own resentment to feed shadow ghosts, attract people Essence Blood, and control them with curses. His skills are average, but his magic skills are very evil.

Its inheritance is likely to come from the Jiangzuo Evil Path branch.

After recalling the three Japanese pirates, Yellow Springs Wanderer became even more rampant. Cang Sheng laughed and said:

"The world is a beautiful scenery, but it's a pity that you will never see it again today!"

Li Yan sneered and looked at the crowd, "Is it just you guys who are so rotten?"

His original intention was to inspire "Ditch Snake Master" Chen Hui who was hiding underground.

As long as the opponent shows up for a sneak attack, he will immediately summon the soldiers and horses of the Yin Division to kill them all in one fell swoop.

However, something unexpected happened.

Yellow Springs Wanderer didn't waste any time, just pulled out Soul-Calling Banner from behind.

It's certainly not easy for this guy to be the leader of Ghost Opera Troupe.

His real name is no longer known. He was originally a barefoot Daoist priest in a remote mountain village. By chance, he dug up an unnamed ancient tomb and obtained a half-volume fragment of the ghost sect's secret technique <Nine Hells Communication Record>.

In order to pursue immortality, he did not hesitate to test the law and practice black magic. Gradually, people no longer Human Ghost became ghosts.

He was once chased by Zhengdao for using the boy Girl to refine the "Life-Sustaining Pill". When he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he finally understood the core of <Nine Hells Communication Record> "replacing souls for salary, extradition from the underworld" and refined himself into the state of the living dead.

His behavior is tyrannical and he is at the peak of Fourth Floor, but he needs to constantly absorb Living Soul to maintain his "existence". He is like Old Zombie crawling out of a coffin with a shabby shroud.

Seeing this, Li Yan took out Flintlock Firearm without saying a word and pulled the trigger.

He knows that this Yellow Springs Wanderer has two kinds of Dharma Treasure.

One is the colorful wooden "Five Poison Bangzi" on the waist with a crying face carved on it. When struck, it can emit a soul-catching sound, similar to the soul-calling technique.

It is powerful against ordinary people, but Li Yan is not weak to him, and Secret Treasure protects him, so he has no fear.

This Soul-Calling Banner, on the other hand, is a bit difficult to deal with. It is considered a small military station.

To prevent accidents, <Five Directions Fengdu Banner> was lent to Wang Dao Xuan to take away. Facing this Dharma Treasure, we could only strike first to avoid falling into a disadvantage.

Boom!

There was a roar and fire exploded.

Yellow Springs Wanderer also didn't expect that Li Yan would suddenly shoot.

Even if he dodged quickly, half of his legs were beaten to pieces.

However, no blood was shed at all, only rotten and decaying flesh.

Li Yan is not surprised to see this.

This Yellow Springs Wanderer turned himself into a living dead, and the secret method is called "Living Corpse Carcass".

Most of the vitality in his body has long since been cut off, and he is like rotten wood and withered bones wrapped in human skin. He is not afraid of physical damage from ordinary swords. His only fatal weakness is the still beating heart in his chest, named "Heart Lamp".

These information, City God Temple provided very complete.

If he were to get close, he would be fatal with one blow.

"Seeking death!"

Yellow Springs Wanderer felt no pain, but after he lost his balance and fell, a look of madness appeared in his eyes. He waved Soul-Calling Banner, singing a weird tune in a pale voice, and kowtowed to the grave.

Judging from the tune, it should be some kind of rural local drama.

As Soul-Calling Banner waved, Yin Wind quickly blew up around it.

Chen Hui is going to take action?!

Li Yan is alert and ready to summon the Yinsi troops.

But the aura of Chen Hui has completely disappeared, and Gouji no longer has any sense.

At the same time, there was a strong smell of snakes in the air.

No, Li Yan is not in good shape.

Forget about that snake god!
