The black mist filled the air, and several monks in the inn immediately trembled, and a chill came over them. Only when they reached Cheng Yuan's side, the black mist moved away as if it had eyes.
Cheng Yan noticed that the monk carrying the heavy sword quickly gathered a spiritual power, covering his whole body and preventing the black mist from entering.
As for the male and female monks, they couldn't help but tremble.
"Husband, do you feel a little cold?"
The man nodded and reached out to hold the female cultivator's hand: "I'll keep it warm for you, husband."
While the two were talking, several more screams came from outside.
Then there was the sound of horse hooves in the street.
Cheng Yuan was curious, and the sound of horse hooves came from far away. When passing outside the inn, she only caught a glimpse of an afterimage passing by.
The sound of horse hooves fades away.
"What was that just now?" Xun Yan came to the door of the inn: "The speed was too fast, I couldn't see clearly."
"Don't waste your efforts. That is Xicheng's Jie Lima, the demon clan's mount. It's impossible to see clearly based on your cultivation level." The male cultivator was wiping the heavy sword in his hand at this moment.
"Can you see?"
"Of course, I advise you to leave here early. The treasures in Xicheng are not yours to get!"
Cheng Yuan and Xun Yan looked at each other. They simply bumped into each other by mistake. They were not here for the treasure of the West City.
"Your surname is Yin. Stop pretending to be a ghost here. You have been here for so long. Don't you know that the one on the right side of Jie Li is the Demon Lord of Xicheng?" The female cultivator said with disdain on her face: "Oh, it is rumored that this Demon Lord's true identity is
He is just a nightmare beast, and many of the weird things in West City today are just his remnant soul causing ghosts."
"The surname is Yin, and the heavy sword is used. Could it be that the senior is the senior Yin Shunyang on the Hidden Dragon List?" Xun Yan asked.
"I guess you have some sharp eyesight." Yin Shunyang did not deny it.
"Haha. It's only in the top 100. What's there to be proud of? This lady on the Hidden Dragon List was even in the top 50!"
"Silly woman, shut up." Yin Shunyang said angrily.
"The Hidden Dragon list changes very quickly. If you are lucky enough to get on it, you will easily be knocked down. It is not uncommon to get on it, but if you maintain the ranking for many years, that is your skill." Cheng Yan said, and then looked at the female cultivator: "I don't know the female fairy.
How to call it?"
"Jinyumen, Luo Qianqian. This is my Taoist companion Feudal."
"Nice to meet you." Cheng Yuan handed over his hand.
As for the Jinyu Sect, she has also heard about it. It is a small sect in the west of Zhongzhou. Although the sect is small, the monks in the sect are very capable. It is said that they like to join in all the excitement. There is no big or small event in Zhongzhou that they do not participate in.
.
It is said that behind them is the power of "Eagle Strikes the Sky" in Central Continent, and the monks of Jinyumen cooperate with them to collect news about Central Continent for publication.
To put it simply, Jinyumen is a gossip organization. They are the best at digging up the inside story of all matters in Zhongzhou.
As a result, Cheng Yan became enthusiastic.
"I dare to ask Fairy Luo, you just said that all the weird things in the West City are caused by the remnant souls, do you really mean that?"
Luo Qianqian looked proud: "Of course, I have seen it with my own eyes. It's just that the demon master is at the Nascent Soul stage, and the strength of the residual soul cannot be underestimated. If the little fairy doesn't want to die, he really has to leave early."
Just go."
"Thank you for your concern. I am very curious about this remnant soul. I wonder where I can go to see it?"
Luo Qianqian glanced at Cheng Yan with an inexplicable look on her face: "Your cultivation level has just broken through the golden elixir. It's not enough for the remaining soul to eat in one bite. That's all, you are seeking death by yourself, what can others say."
As she said that, she pointed to the door: "Now, you can go out now, as long as you stop the horse's hoofbeats when they sound, the remnant soul will appear.
But don’t blame me for not reminding you, that remnant soul is very ferocious, and once you mess with it, you won’t stop fighting.”
While talking, Cheng Yan had already stood up and walked out.
Huh——
The moment he stepped out of the inn, a gust of cold wind hit him, making Cheng Yuan's clothes fly. Xun Yan beside him frowned: "What are you doing?"
Cheng Yuan pushed back Xun Yan who was following him: "Wait here."
Xun Yan wanted to say more, then he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away.
Cheng Yan saw the right opportunity and rushed out.
Touch!
Afterimages flashed past, and the place where Cheng Yuan was was empty.
"Cheng Yuan!" Xun Yan chased after him, but he didn't even see his shadow.
Luo Qianqian in the inn was shocked: "This female fairy is really not afraid of death, the remnant soul will definitely tear her apart!"
……
There is a high tower in the west city, and the top of the tower can overlook the entire Tianyong City.
At this time, Cheng Yan was lying on his back on the ground, with his hands and feet controlled by an invisible force and unable to move.
She felt footsteps coming, landing right in front of her, as if someone was looking down at her.
After a moment, a voice sounded from above the head.
"I feel a powerful force in you, but you are clearly just a golden elixir cultivator. Is it possible that you have hidden your cultivation and are even unable to defeat me?"
The voice was cold, and Cheng Yan understood clearly that the person speaking should be the Demon Lord of West City, that nightmare.
Cheng Yan did not answer him, but activated the demon elixir, but in an instant he broke free from the shackles, and Shi Shiran sat up.
The nightmare suddenly appeared: "You, you are!"
Cheng Yan stared at him: "Yes. The young master sent me here."
The nightmare is a young man, dressed like a scholar, and his whole body is full of bookishness. At this time, he looked at Cheng Yuan blankly.
"Young Master! Envoy! You are really——"
"Why, the power that the young master gave me is not enough to make you believe it?" As he spoke, Cheng Yan stretched out his finger, circulated the demon pill, and condensed a trace of demon power.
In an instant, Nightmare felt an unprecedented pressure, her heart was shaken, and her knees bent uncontrollably.
He knelt down on one knee and lowered his head: "Zhongzhou Baichu has seen the envoy."
"Very good, get up." Cheng Yuan put away his demonic power, stood up and sat down aside.
Bai Chu also sat down immediately.
Seeing that there was still some hesitation in his eyes, Cheng Yan took the lead and spoke: "You must have met Mr. Xiaobai."
Bai Chu nodded: "Before Xicheng was besieged and suppressed, Mr. Bai came to notify us to evacuate."
"So, everything in West City was done deliberately by you? To confuse the other 30% of the forces?"
"Exactly, now that the young master has appeared in this world, everyone in our demon clan should respect the young master. Whatever the young master asks us to do, we will do it." Bai Chu said and told everything that happened after that. But it turns out that after receiving the order, the demon clan in the West City all moved away secretly. During the day, Bai Chu, the lord of the West City, used the nightmare technique to make the monks who entered fell into a light dream. They would see with their own eyes that countless demon clans were killed.
Execution, or escape.
This kind of nightmare will dissipate once it leaves the West City, so the demon masters outside never noticed anything was wrong. They only learned about the tragic situation in the west city from the demon masters who came out of the west city.
If you spread the word to ten or hundreds of people, they will naturally believe it.
However, some monks who were above the golden elixir came to question or hunt for treasures. In order to prevent them from discovering the flaw prematurely, Bai Meng chose to stay. Whenever night fell, he would cast nightmare spells on Xicheng.
