Chapter 81: Young Master Xiao, even a rabbit will bite when it gets angry
After the dust settled on the major investigation into the foundation-building of the Demonic Path.

The Lihuo Sect released its inner disciples again to form patrol teams and began searching for the remaining escaped criminals.

Elder Chen also called Xiao Chen over and handed him a confession: "I have a clue here. Lead the team to investigate and see if you can capture the remaining demon cultivators."

Xiao Chen took a glance and found that it was a confession from ten days ago.

A captured demon cultivator, during interrogation, reported that their accomplices were in another place.

After such a long time, the other party should have run away long ago, right?

Elder Chen then called over a fellow apprentice and a fellow apprentice.

He introduced them with a smile, "These are two new disciples who joined the Second Branch a few months ago. They usually perform well. This time, I'm bringing them out together so they can see the world."

"Assign them appropriate tasks and let them do any miscellaneous work."

Xiao Chen looked at them curiously and found that they were both in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and they looked very similar, as if they were brother and sister.

The two of them also greeted him at the same time: "Hello, Senior Brother, my name is Chen Zixuan/Chen Zirui."

Oh~!

Xiao Chen understood instantly.

If nothing unexpected happens, the place where this clue points to is 100% certain to contain the remnants of the evil sect deliberately left behind by Elder Chen.

Although this time they were nominally asked to investigate clues, in reality they were just going through the motions.

I never thought that such a good thing would happen to him now.

In order to prevent the inner disciples from being besieged again, the sect changed the seven-person group into a large group of twelve people.

Together with the Chen brothers and sisters from the second branch, a group of fourteen people headed to Heyang County, more than 600 miles west of Lihuo Gate.

The fellow disciples were unaware of this and were very eager to hurry on their way.

Everyone was afraid of going too late and wasting time, so they traveled overnight and arrived in Heyang County in just two days.

Although Xiao Chen did not stop them, he curiously asked a junior brother from Bishui Peak about the reason.

"Why do you all look so excited to fight the demon cultivators?"

The junior brother excitedly replied, "The sect's bounty this time is extremely high. As long as you participate in capturing a demon cultivator, you can get at least two contribution points as an assistance reward."

"If you can capture the demon cultivator yourself, you will get between 20 and 200 contribution points."

"If I can capture another demon cultivator this time, combined with the contribution points I've accumulated before, I can buy a new magic weapon."

Xiao Chen had never paid attention to this before.

However, if there are rewards for participating in the arrest, it should be that the sect intends to increase support and promote the growth of the disciples' strength.

"Brother Xiao, are we there yet?"

Chen Zixuan was also very excited and pointed to the gatehouse in front with the word "Heyang" engraved on it and asked.

Xiao Chen took out the confession: "Yes, it's here."

"Ahem, everyone, rest here for a while. Once we go in, if we encounter any demon cultivators, they might have to fight us."

It was Chen Zixuan’s first official mission. He was very excited and gripped his flying sword tightly, staring at Heyang County.

Chen Zirui was more down-to-earth and just sat in meditation to regulate her breathing.

A moment later, Xiao Chen brought them directly to a large local mansion.

There was once a foundation-building family here - the Xuan family.

Of course, since the death of the Xuan family's ancestor twenty-eight years ago, there have been no foundation-building cultivators in their clan.

However, what surprised Xiao Chen was that he actually saw seven Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators in the reception hall of the other party's house.

As for the cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, there were as many as ten of them guarding the door of the reception hall.

The head of the Xuan family came out to entertain them with a smile on his face.

Tables and chairs were set up in the hall, and twenty young and beautiful maids were called in to stand by, and fourteen cups of spiritual tea were served.

"I wonder what brings you, young men from the Lihuo Sect, to my Xuan family?" Everyone should have been having a good time, but the junior brothers from the Lihuo Sect were all very disrespectful to the Xuan family.

No one touched the tea that was served. Instead, everyone held a flying sword in their hands, looking very aggressive.

Especially Chen Zixuan, he never let go of the hilt of the sword since he entered the door, and it was as if "I am here to cause trouble" was written on his face.

Xiao Chen was much calmer.

Communicate calmly with the other party: "It's not a big deal, actually. Someone reported you for colluding with and harboring demonic cultivators. Do you have any clues about this?"

But when the Xuan family heard this, they immediately became anxious: "Nonsense!"

"Someone must be throwing dirty water on us!"

The Xuan family's Patriarch looked at the two cultivators around him and said, "Someone is framing us!"

"It just so happens that Fellow Daoist Zhang and Fellow Daoist Zhao are also visiting us at home."

"I would also like to ask the two fellow Daoists to help prove that our Xuan family has always hated demonic cultivators and will definitely not be implicated in any way."

The two Qi-refining Great Perfection monks on the side both echoed the words.

Xiao Chen flipped open the disciple handbook and read, "According to the sect's rules, I must first remind you that anyone who harbors demonic cultivators will be considered an accomplice of the demonic path and will be eradicated."

"This is a chance for you, don't miss it."

The head of the Xuan family lowered his head and drank tea, remaining silent.

The Xuan family's Qi Refining Master who was standing nearby immediately asked, "What do you mean by this? Are you concluding that we are shielding the demon cultivators?"

Another cultivator also spoke up: "Lihuo Sect can't just accuse us of being demonic cultivators for no reason."

Outside the door, some Xuan family monks also began to make noise.

Chen Zixuan immediately questioned, "You're clearly harboring a demon cultivator, yet you refuse to admit it. Are you planning to join the demonic sect?"

An elder of the Xuan family who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, seemingly trying to persuade him, but in reality he was threatening: "The Lihuo Sect can't bully others like this."

"If you continue to slander us like this, we won't agree."

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen auras of late Qi Refining cultivators were released at the same time, pressing towards Xiao Chen and the others.

Although most of the people who came this time were inner disciples, apart from Xiao Chen, there was only one junior brother who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Everyone was suddenly oppressed, and several junior brothers stood up immediately.

The Xuan family's Patriarch reminded him, "Young Master Xiao, even a rabbit can bite when it gets angry."

"is it?"

Xiao Chen shook his head: "I don't believe it."

As he said that, he snapped his fingers and said, "Want to bite one and let me see?"

From the moment I walked in and sat down, the thorns that had been secretly growing began to rise from the ground.

In just a moment, the reception hall was transformed both inside and outside.

All the Xuan family monks and maids were tied to the spot with thorns.

Including the five people who had reached the great perfection of Qi training, including the head of the Xuan family, each of them was given an extra piece of thorn, which was tied tightly.

The protective aura that flickered on their bodies only lasted for less than a moment before it shattered.

The dense barbs on the thorns pierced directly into their bodies, extracting their magic power and turning it into nutrients.

In just three breaths, all the Xuan family members present lost their combat effectiveness.

Only the two guests, Fellow Daoist Zhang and Fellow Daoist Zhao, were left, panicking.

The first moment he saw the thorns, he subconsciously took out his flying sword.

He immediately threw it on the ground, looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, pretending to be a wooden man.
