One person established a clan

Chapter 18 Full of Evil
Boom!

Under the dim moonlight, an earthquake shook Niulan Mountain, startling the crows outside the mountain and causing them to fly away.

Su Chenglan hugged Shi Xuan and jumped out of the crevice, stepped on the cliff wall, and turned over in time to escape from danger.

"call--"

Dust was flying like fog. Looking at the collapsed cave, Su Cheng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

After several hours of continuous absorption, the evil meridian had been completely drained by him, without even a trace of residue left.

"It's time to go."

The business was done, Su Cheng turned around and jumped into the dense forest, running back along the way, and soon returned to the foot of the mountain.

He flicked the jade hairpin in Shi Xuan's hair and said, "Miss Shi, come out."

"Did you really succeed?"

Yuzhi's spiritual light then emerged, and she quickly said in surprise, "Your cultivation has indeed improved a lot."

In her opinion, it was not easy for Su Cheng to escape from the dangerous place safely. She did not expect that the speed of his cultivation level would improve so quickly. It was really incredible.

"I was lucky enough to have some insights."

"To have such an achievement can be considered an opportunity."

Listening to Shi Xuan's sigh, Su Cheng glanced at the system panel.

[Black Iron Spiritual Energy: 29 years] [Pure Spiritual Energy: 27 years] [Spiritual Evil Energy: 61 years]

The spiritual energy reserves have more than doubled, which is indeed a great harvest.

"However, it's getting late. We have to return at night."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Su Cheng looked at the broken reins on the wooden stake, and his face trembled slightly.

"There are actually horse thieves in this deep mountain forest?"

"Perhaps it wasn't the work of thieves." Shi Xuan's tone became more relaxed. "After all, there's a lot of evil spirits raging in the mountains. It's not surprising that the horse would be frightened and break the reins."

Su Cheng felt a slight headache: "Then we can only run back to Jingyang Town."

But with my current improved physical condition, it’s only a few dozen miles, so I should be able to give it a try.

He was about to try to move when he suddenly saw a halo of light flickering in the gaps between the trees in the northeast.

"Strange thing."

Su Cheng gazed intently and seemed to see the outline of the village, but the two places were only a hundred feet apart.

"There's actually a village in this damn place?"

It was afternoon when we arrived, and the sky was bright, so we really didn't notice anything.

Shi Xuan was also a little surprised. "This place is full of evil spirits, why would anyone live here?"

Su Cheng took out the map from his arms and checked it carefully again.

"It's not on the map. Maybe they just moved here a while ago and don't know how dangerous this place is."

He had a lot of doubts in his mind, but he quickly made a decision. "Forget it, let's go take a look first. If there's an inn, we can rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, we can buy a horse and rush back to Jingyang Town."

Shi Xuan naturally would not object.

In her opinion, although Su Cheng's cultivation is improving rapidly, it is still weak compared to such a large sect.

Instead of rushing back to Jingyang Town so quickly, it is better to take this opportunity to practice more outside. The longer you can delay, the better.

"Su Cheng."

As they hurried to the mountain village, Shi Xuan murmured again, "You've been refining and absorbing the evil spirit today, and you heard those wailing and complaining. What are your thoughts?"

"Nothing." Su Cheng said calmly, "Rather than letting these spiritual energies be wasted here, filled with resentment and only crying and shouting all day long, it is better to transform them into my strength to help them fight for their karma."

Shi Xuan: “.”

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Do you think this is bad?"

Shi Xuan sighed softly, "On the contrary, it's great that you can be so clear-headed."

Instead, she seems too hypocritical, and doesn't even know who is whose senior.
Soon, Su Cheng ran across the Baizhang mountain road and approached the village where the light was.

"Ok?"

But when I took a closer look, I found that this village was too simple.

There was only a wooden fence around the perimeter, the fence was rotten and cracked, and there was no one guarding the area at night. The village was also dead silent, with only a bonfire burning and crackling.

“It’s more like a simple village than a village.”

Su Cheng walked into the village without any obstruction, looking around with a strange expression.

Inside the thatched huts, there was no light, not even a single soul in sight. Many of the doors were even wide open, swaying back and forth in the evening breeze, making disturbing, subtle noises.

His expression gradually became solemn.

Not right.

There is almost no human presence here, and there is even a lingering evil aura.

Although it is far from being comparable to the evil veins in the mountains, the chilling feeling becomes more and more obvious as one approaches the center of the village.

Bang!
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground suddenly broke the dead silence in the village.

Su Cheng turned his head suddenly, only to find a young child with disheveled hair and a dirty face, standing there stiffly, looking at a loss.

The wooden basin fell to the ground, and some vegetable leaves were scattered on the ground.

"who are you?"

The young child squatted down and picked up the leaves one by one and put them back into the basin, but his eyes were full of anxiety. "Why... come here?"

Hearing his hoarse voice, Su Cheng frowned slightly: "I'm from Jingyang Town. I wonder where the adults in your village have gone?"

"grown ups?"

The young child frantically carried the basin and said in a barely audible voice, "Everyone is dead. You should leave quickly too."

"Dead?" Su Cheng's face darkened as he walked up to the child. "Who did it?"

"."

The young child lowered his head and took two steps back in fear: "You will die."

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help you." Su Cheng saw that he was covered in wounds and his expression quickly relaxed. He didn't care about the dirt and dust and reached out to touch his head.

"Tell me, why are you the only one left in the village?"

Hearing his increasingly gentle tone and seeing the "token" that proved his identity, the young child pursed his cracked lips and remained silent for a long time.

"us."

Looking up at Su Cheng's handsome face, the child's defenses were fragile after all, and he couldn't help but choke out a sob: "Daddy and Mommy were all killed by those bad guys. Grandpa and grandma in the village, everyone is dead. Woo."

The wooden basin in his hands slipped, and he covered his face with his hands covered with blood clots, sobbing.

Su Cheng sighed secretly, and he also understood that a child of this age would definitely not be able to bear such a big change.

He wiped away the tears from the child's eyes with his thumb: "Speak slowly, I'm listening."

"Um"

Perhaps sensing some kindness, the young child quickly wiped away his tears and spoke haltingly, "We didn't live here originally. It was a group of bad guys who called themselves immortals and monks who said they wanted to take our village to live a better life."
But not long after we moved in, we were stabbed to death by those people. The ground was covered with blood. My father and mother were also...

The child spoke incoherently, his breathing became more rapid, and it seemed as if tears were welling up again.

Su Cheng quickly comforted him in a gentle voice, raised his hand and patted his back, which calmed him down a little.

"They... They kept me alive and gave me all sorts of strange rocks to throw into the fire every night."

The young child's face was red with tears, his eyes full of sorrow and despair. "That fire has been burning until now."

Sobbing and crying, as if crying blood.

Su Cheng's hair stood on end when he heard this, and his eyes became even colder and more fiery.

Although the child was crying uncontrollably, he still managed to explain the whole story.

A group of monks, relying on a false reputation, lured the villagers to move here, then turned on them and slaughtered them all. They sacrificed the villagers' lives and used some strange means to refine...
weapons.

He looked back coldly, staring at the bonfire in the village.

The firelight that was originally warm and bright in the dark night now seemed extremely cold and terrifying, and twisted objects could be vaguely seen wriggling like evil fetuses.

"Do you still remember that group of people? Where did they come from?"

"I always remember."

The child huddled up, but uttered a resentful whisper: "They call themselves the Huanxing Sect."
