"Senior Sister Chu, have you ever seen the strange thing on this sculpture?"

Yun Chang'an stared at the sculpture in the hands of Shopkeeper Sun and asked Chu Xiaoxiao beside him.

"I have never seen such a strange person on this thing, and I have never heard of such a ferocious beast."

Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head. Although she couldn't say that she was well-read and knowledgeable, she had never seen that sculpture in any book or anywhere else.

This made the two people on the beam feel extremely confused, and they couldn't help but have some shocked guesses in their hearts. Could it be that this thing was something outside the world? The two of them looked at each other, and seemed to agree with each other's idea.

After praying, Shopkeeper Sun under the beam wanted to put the sculpture under the statue of the mountain spirit god, and then he saw a black gas spreading from outside the house into the temple.

"coming!"

Yun Chang'an looked at the black energy coming towards him, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stared outside the house with full energy.

"Is this the thing that caused the trouble?"

Jie Jie Jie...

A creepy voice was heard outside the house, followed by a black figure entering the temple.

"It's you two, you're holding my things."

The shopkeeper Sun and his wife immediately retreated backwards with their legs weakened, saying tremblingly, "Sir, please spare my life. I was greedy for money at the moment. I will return it to you now. Please be magnanimous and spare my life."

"Humph, you took my things and you still want to survive? Give me your life."

Then, this man with black air coming out of his mouth attacked the shopkeeper Sun and the other man.

Yun Chang'an just saw the appearance of the man with black aura at this time. He had a face full of stubble, and wrinkles on his face that were burned by something unknown. He had lost one eye, and the other eye was also completely black. He had a hood on his clothes that covered the other half of his face. He looked extremely ugly, and no one knew what kind of martial arts he had practiced that led to his appearance being completely ruined.

Seeing that the black gas was about to attack the two people sitting on the ground, Chu Xiaoxiao immediately drew his sword to block it.

"How dare you, a wicked man, to hurt others? Look at my sword."

After saying that, he picked up his sword and went up to wrestle with the man with black aura. At this time, Yun Changan came to Manager Sun and the other man, took them to the side hall of the temple, and persuaded them not to come out.

Shopkeeper Sun immediately agreed, found an old wardrobe, took his wife and hid there.

Seeing this, Yun Chang'an, holding the Chixiao Sword, walked out of the side hall and saw Chu Xiaoxiao fighting with the man.

The man groaned, and several three-headed wolves ran out from behind him. They were the same three-headed wolves he met in the Ebony Forest, but the wolves in front of him were much larger than the wolf leader he met before.

His eyes became even more ferocious, staring at Yun Chang'an as if he had identified him as his prey, with saliva like mucus flowing from his mouth.

"Senior Sister Chu, leave these beasts to me. Don't be distracted."

Yun Chang'an charged at the wolves with a sword in hand, but the wolves were not to be outdone and surrounded him, looking as if they wanted to eat him.

"Little beast, look at the sword!"

He slashed at the wolves with a soul-severing blow, but in a flash, the wolves used clever positioning to avoid his attack.

Yun Chang'an was greatly surprised. He knew very well how fast his move was. The wolves were able to dodge his attack, which showed that they were not slow either.

So, he raised the sword again, increased his speed a bit, and used the soul-slaying attack again. This time, Yun Changan made the sword energy float above the sword body and killed one of the wolves.

This attack was much faster than the previous ones. As the sword energy was unsheathed, a series of sounds of breaking through the air were made in the air. The sword energy carried a sound like a tiger's roar, and turned into a sharp sword shadow, attacking the body of one of the wolves.

With a loud bang, the huge sound caused by the collision between the sword energy and a wolf attracted Chu Xiaoxiao and the man with black air who were confronting each other not far away.

Then they saw a three-headed wolf lying in a pool of blood. The other two wolves saw their companion being split in half by the sword of the man in front of them, and they did not take the initiative to approach him. Instead, they stepped back a few steps, stared at Yun Chang'an, and made low growling sounds, as if they were speaking up for their companion.

Knowing that they were no match for the man in front of them, the remaining two wolves immediately gathered together, growling something in low voices.

After a moment, the two wolves spewed out black air and attacked Yun Chang'an.

"Oh no, this black air is poisonous!"

Yun Chang'an shouted and immediately leaped back to create some distance. At this moment, his forearm failed to dodge and accidentally touched the black air. In an instant, his arm felt numb. He pulled open his clothes and saw that his forearm had been soaked in the black air, turning black and purple.

So, Yun Chang'an immediately started practicing his martial arts, trying to force the black energy out of his body. However, the two wolves, having gotten the advantage, were not willing to let him go. Before Yun Chang'an could practice his martial arts, the two wolves attacked him. Helplessly, he could only raise his sword to block the wolves' attack.

"Junior brother, are you okay?"

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Changan with concern.

"Little bitch, your opponent is me, it's not good to be distracted!"

The man with dark aura attacked Chu Xiaoxiao, who was distracted. Chu Xiaoxiao did not hesitate and used her skills to transform the branches and leaves of the tree into a huge barrier to stand between the two of them. Then, the branches turned into huge spikes and attacked the chest of the man with dark aura.

"not good!"

The man in black was pierced in the chest due to his carelessness. The thorns were so fast that the man was hit by them before he could react.

"How do you know magic? You are a cultivator!"

The man vomited blood, fell to the ground, and looked at Chu Xiaoxiao in front of him with disbelief.

"Tell me quickly, who are you, why are you harming the people here, and what evil skills are you practicing!"

Chu Xiaoxiao yelled at him angrily.

"Haha, you are actually immortal cultivators. It is perfect for me to use you as my sacrifice. My Yin Xie Sect will hopefully be revived!"

The man ignored Chu Xiaoxiao's question and continued shouting excitedly.

From what he said, it could be heard that this was an evil Taoist sect called Yin Xie Sect, which specifically sought spiritual people as sacrifices.

"What is the Yin Xie Sect you are talking about, and what is the sacrifice?"

Chu Xiaoxiao asked again, but the man in black didn't tell him and just kept shouting to himself.

"When I capture you, you will know what a sacrifice is."

"You are really courting death!"

Chu Xiaoxiao angrily raised the sword and chopped towards the man's head, but although she clearly felt the sword in her hand hit his head, it was actually the sword that went through his body.

"Want to kill me? You are still a little naive."

So he whistled at the two three-headed wolves, signaling them to retreat.

"Want to run!"

Chu Xiaoxiao once again transformed her energy into a barrier, trying to block their retreat, but there was no response. The man with black energy turned into a ball of black energy and fled with the two wolves.

"Remember, my name is Ghost Taoist, and I will be the one to take your heads next time!"

"stop!"

Chu Xiaoxiao was extremely angry at this moment, but there was nothing she could do. The black gas was running too fast and she could not catch up with it at all, so she could only give up.
