The last time Xiao Han went down the mountain, it was late autumn. Now, autumn passed and winter came, winter passed and spring came.
Between heaven and earth, it was already the beginning of spring.
Xiao Han and the others galloped on their Flood Dragon Horses. Everywhere they went, grass grew, birds flew, clear streams flowed, and all living things were revived.
This Flood Dragon Horse was indeed magical. It traveled over mountains and rivers as if it was walking on flat ground.
Xiao Han also passed by many towns along the way.
Some towns were thriving and had a luxurious life; some were barren and desolate with corpses everywhere.
There was even a frightening ghost town …
Hua Rong was a very strict person. He didn't allow Xiao Han and the other outer sect disciples to stop and rest along the way. He only cared about traveling day and night.
The outer sect disciples were quite dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to complain.
Xiao Han, on the other hand, had an indifferent attitude. He rode on the Flood Dragon Horse, enjoying the scenery along the way while breathing and refining his internal organs.
The medicinal power of the Profound Internal Cleansing Pill was constantly refined by Xiao Han, causing his internal organs to become stronger and stronger. As he breathed, the fragrance of the medicine filled the air and his inner qi was abundant.
Finally, they arrived at their destination in the early morning of the second day.
This was a small town with an extremely ancient charm.
The green lake at the head of the town was filled with weeping willows.
The morning mist was like a veil that evaporated on the surface of the lake. It was very artistic.
As far as the eye could see, one could see the stone arch bridge and wooden buildings in the town.
This town was as gentle as a young lady …
The town was quiet.
At the head of the town, there were more than ten people bowing to welcome them.
They were all middle-aged men dressed in silk and satins and rich wives. With a glance, one could tell that they were all local tycoons.
When these tycoons saw Hua Rong, Xiao Han and the others riding Flood Dragon Horses, they all showed nervous, humble, fawning, fearful … various expressions.
"They're here!
They're finally here! "
After whispering a few words, these people swarmed up to welcome them.
Hua Rong stopped his horse and waved his hand, signaling Xiao Han and the other outer sect disciples to stop as well.
Xiao Han raised his head and looked at the entrance of the town. There was a memorial arch with the words' Willow Town 'written on it.
"Ah … Misters, you … You're finally here … Great, this is great … Our Liu Town is saved …" A fat middle-aged man wearing a lake green robe and a government official's hat immediately walked out of the crowd. His face had the words' Harmony brings wealth 'written on it.
He bowed submissively and said.
His legs trembled slightly, and he did not dare to look directly at Hua Rong, Xiao Han, and the others.
"I am the mayor of Liu Town …"
Hua Rong's expression was cold as he ignored the mayor.
Hua Rong took out a bronze mirror from her bosom.
The surface of the bronze mirror was overflowing with colorful light and mist, and there was a strong fluctuation of true energy.
Hua Rong took out a mirror and looked at the mayor and the group of local tycoons. Then, she nodded slightly. "What's the situation in your town?
You're the mayor?
You tell me. "
Demon-revealing Mirror.
Xiao Han had heard from a few outer sect disciples last night that martial art practitioners of the Physical Body Realm, even top inner sect disciples like Hua Rong, who were at the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm, or even half a step into the True Qi Realm, would not be able to identify a disguised demon from the crowd.
He had to use the Demon Revealing Mirror.
The surface of the Demon-revealing Mirror was refined using the true qi of a true qi realm expert.
If there were demons within a hundred steps, the surface of the mirror would immediately ripple.
Hua Rong was indeed an experienced person in the Jianghu. When he arrived at Liu Town, he did not say a word and took out the Demon-revealing Mirror first. He did not even let go of the mayor. He had to first confirm if the mayor was a demon in disguise.
Now, it seemed that the mirror was as calm as an ancient well. There was no problem with the mayor and the group of local tycoons. They were not demons.
"Yes, yes, I'll speak, I'll speak …" Under the pressure of Hua Rong's imposing manner, the mayor bent his back and said while trembling with fear.
"Five days ago, the town discovered … discovered that there was a demon committing murder. Until last night, the demon had already harmed three people …"
After saying that, the mayor gestured to a few strong men standing behind the row of local tycoons.
Immediately, a few strong men carried three pear wood coffins over.
Opening the coffins, there were three dead people inside. All of them had a large hole in their heads, and their brains had been sucked dry.
The dead people's facial expressions were extremely ferocious.
"Sirs, please subdue the demon and save the people of Liu Town!" The mayor said tearfully.
"As long as the demon is not eliminated, we cannot eat and sleep in peace …"
"Cremate these corpses immediately," Hua Rong said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, I'll do it, I'll do it." The mayor nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.
Soon after, the mayor waved his hand again, and a few strong men carried a few boxes over.
There were a total of three boxes, each about one square foot.
"Open the boxes." The mayor ordered.
Pa ~ ~ ~ ~
The three boxes were opened at the same time.
In an instant, the aura of treasures filled the air.
Among the three boxes, two were filled with gold, silver, jade, agate … and the last one was filled with the best ginseng and knotweed.
Xiao Han and the outer sect disciples' eyes suddenly bulged.
There was even an outer sect disciple who was swallowing his saliva.
The hard currency for martial artists was True Martial Coins.
But the real gold, silver, and gems in the secular world were still very tempting after all.
"Sirs, these are some local specialties. I hope you will accept them." The mayor said politely.
Suddenly, from the corner of Xiao Han's eyes, he found that in Hua Rong's eyes, there was a flash of greed.
Hua Rong didn't say a word, he waved his right hand, a dim light flashed on his index finger, and the three boxes below instantly disappeared.
"Huh?" Xiao Han was stunned, and looked carefully, on Hua Rong's right index finger, there was a simple ring.
"Damn, what is that ring?
Treasure!
Definitely a treasure! "Xiao Han stretched out his tongue and licked his mouth.
Then he thought, "This Hua Rong looks cold and stubborn, but unexpectedly, he is very greedy.
But, there is such a benefit in going down the mountain to eliminate the demon?
Damn, there are a few big boxes of gold and silver!
And ginseng and knotweed, these great medicinal herbs.
This Hua Rong made quite a bit of money without batting an eyelid. "
Of course, Xiao Han knew, this wealth, these outer sect disciples definitely did not have a share.
Hua Rong alone took it, it was impossible to share it.
"Let's go," Hua Rong waved his hand, "You lead the way.
I will subdue the demon. "
"Yes, yes, sirs, please!" The mayor hurriedly made way.
At this time …
"Huh?!" Xiao Han only felt, that strange thing in his heart, actually started to spin!
It was exactly the same as when he participated in the assessment, when he faced the demon race, the situation was exactly the same!
"This … what is going on?" Xiao Han was confused.
At the same time, that mayor suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Han, a trace of undetectable doubt flashed across his eyes.
Xiao Han raised his head, and just happened to meet the mayor's eyes.
"Young Hero, you look very familiar. I think I've seen you somewhere before … heh …" The mayor said to Xiao Han with a smile.
"Oh … you may have remembered wrongly, I have never been to this small town." Xiao Han said.
But in Xiao Han's heart, there were waves of doubts rolling non-stop … "Previously, when I faced the demon race, the strange thing in my heart would spin.
And now, this strange thing is also spinning non-stop. Could it be that, among these mayor and squires, there is a demon race mixed in?
But this is not very possible, after all, Hua Rong has already used the Demon Revealing Mirror.
Just what is this strange thing in my heart?
Forget it, I can only wait until I reach the Realm of True Qi, then I can realize my own inner vision, then I will know the answer. But today, I must be more vigilant. "
While Xiao Han was thinking, the mayor and the group of squires led the way in front. Hua Rong, Xiao Han, and the others, on the flood dragon horses, had already entered the small town.
The hooves of the horses stepped on the bluestone road of the small town, emitting a sound, completely breaking the peace of the small town.
The natives of the small town, one by one, quietly opened their windows, sticking their heads out to look; on some of the attics, a pair of curious eyes flashed, but quickly hid in fear.
After the Viscera Refinement, Xiao Han's five senses were even sharper, immediately catching some of the conversation …
"It's the disciples of the big sects, they came to our Willow Town to subdue the demon!
This is great!
After killing the demon race, we can live peacefully again. "
"These few days, the demon race has been appearing, sneaking out at night to harm people, scaring us so much that we don't dare to go out, we are always on tenterhooks."
"That's right, that's right, the ladies of the Yi Hong Courtyard also don't dare to receive guests these few days."
"Little girl, don't peek, be careful, these heroes will catch you and eat you … Be good, sleep a little more, mother will make you soy milk."
… …
Listening to these conversations, Xiao Han was quite emotional.
The residents of the small town were very simple, but the demon race was hiding in the town, destroying their original happy life, causing them to be in a precarious situation.
Because they did not have the strength, they could only entrust their lives to the sect disciples who came to subdue the demon race.
If a person did not have the strength, the feeling of putting their life and death in the hands of others was really not a good one.
At this time …
Suddenly, a figure flashed, directly rushing to the middle of the stone road.
"Who?!" The few outer sect disciples beside Xiao Han all shouted nervously, their hands on their weapons.
"Who is it?!"
But with a glance, it was a false alarm.
It was just a three or four year old boy, rushing out from the alley, using his ignorant eyes to look around.
"A bunch of trash!
What are you panicking for? "Hua Rong growled, sweeping the calm demon-revealing mirror in his hand.
Next, an elegant and beautiful young woman rushed out from the alley with a face full of fear, carried the little boy, scolded him softly, and quickly retreated.
"Eh?" Hua Rong's eyes flashed a touch of surprise, "Mayor, who was that woman just now?"
"Oh … Milord, that is Zhuo Jun, the wife of this town's blacksmith Zhang.
That little boy, is their child.
The child is not sensible, and offended all of you, this lowly one here apologizes to all of you. "The mayor said with a flattering smile.
"En, I will stay in this small town tonight, mayor, let that woman come to my room tonight." Hua Rong said indifferently.
"Uh …" The mayor choked.
Then he quickly said.
"Yes, yes, to be able to serve Milord, is Zhuo Jun's blessing."
The few outer court disciples looked at each other, and all of them revealed malicious smiles.
"Senior Brother Hua Rong, this … this is not good, right?" Xiao Han could not help but whisper.
"That woman, seems, seems to have a husband."
"Xiao Han, right?
Do I need you to teach me how to do things? "Hua Rong looked at Xiao Han coldly.
His eyes were extremely disdainful, "Who do you think you are?
An outer sect disciple dares to say these words in front of me? "
"But …" Xiao Han still wanted to say a few more words.
Suddenly, the demon-revealing mirror in Hua Rong's hand, the surface of the mirror began to boil, the true qi crackling!
"Demon race!"
Hua Rong reined in his horse, roared, and the blade light in his body shot up to the sky.
"Moo ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
