Tang Xiuhe felt a chill on his back and turned around quickly. The dried corpse lying on the ground suddenly stood up and attacked Tang Xiuhe with its five fingers forming claws.

Or rather, it attacked Tang Xiu and City Lord Lu behind him.

Leng Zhuxin's reaction was also quick, and the Feishuang Sword immediately chopped towards the mummy. There was a clang sound, but the Feishuang Sword did not cut off the mummy's hand with one strike, but instead collided with the mummy, making a sharp sound like metal hitting metal.

Perhaps Leng Zhuxin's attack angered the mummy. Its dark eye sockets suddenly turned and a hoarse roar came from its throat.

He turned around and rushed towards Leng Zhuxin.

The mummy's pitch-black fingers were still gripping the Feishuang Sword, and it was crawling forward along the Feishuang Sword again and again.

Leng Zhuxin pulled hard and the Feishuang Sword was forcibly pulled out of the mummy's hand. This time she used more force than before, and black residue like charcoal fell from the mummy's palm.

The moment it hit the ground, it turned into scattered evil energy.

Leng Zhuxin did not hold back and stabbed out with the Feishuang Sword again, piercing straight into the heart of the mummy.

Tang Xiuhe also cooperated by cutting the neck of the mummy with the long sword in his hand. The charred head rolled several times on the ground and fell right at the feet of City Lord Lu.

The mummy lost its movement again and fell to the ground.

Just after the mummy fell down, a black mist came from nowhere and obscured everyone's vision.

Tang Xiuhe only had time to protect City Lord Lu behind him, and Leng Zhuxin also reacted quickly and grabbed Chen Wei's wrist.

The disciples also found their nearest companions in the black fog and stood back to back, on guard to prevent sneak attacks.

Leng Zhuxin, whose vision was obscured by the black fog, could only hear the sound of other disciples moving their feet, but the sound was getting smaller and smaller.

As a series of screams rang out, Leng Zhuxin suddenly realized that there seemed to be a person in the black fog beside him. He didn't look like a cultivator, but more like a demon cultivator!

She pulled Chen Wei tighter, and thrust the hand holding the Feishuang Sword forward fiercely, but she was afraid of hurting her own people so she held back.

The Feishuang Sword seemed to have pierced the man's shoulder. Leng Zhuxin only heard a muffled groan, and Chen Wei behind him suddenly screamed.

It seems like someone wants to pull Chen Wei away!

Leng Zhuxin shouted, "Draw your sword!"

Chen Wei, who was originally panicked, calmed down all of a sudden, and stabbed forward with the sword in her hand.

I don’t know if the person who pulled her was more powerful than Leng Zhuxin, but the sword didn’t hit her, and she was almost pulled away.

The man in front of Leng Zhuxin was hit by a sword and immediately disappeared into the black fog again.

Seeing this, Leng Zhuxin immediately turned around and pulled Chen Wei back, then swung the Feishuang Sword in his hand again, and several ice cones flew out at the same time.

The footsteps beside her had died down. Leng Zhuxin guessed that the other disciples had been taken away, and she was no longer afraid of any accidental injuries. She threw out several ice cones in succession, and the Feishuang Sword also stabbed in the black fog according to her will.

Chen Wei was also cooperating from the side. Seeing that he could not defeat the two people after a long time, the man had to give up.

But the two did not dare to slack off at all, and stood back to back to prevent sneak attacks.

After a while, the black fog dissipated, and Chu He and others disappeared. Butler Chen Jiu was slashed in the throat by a sword and fell at the door. Only City Lord Lu was well protected by Tang Xiuhe behind him.

This was beyond Tang Xiuhe's expectations. His expression became very solemn. He looked up at Leng Zhuxin and Chen Wei and said, "The difficulty of this mission has exceeded Level D. The demon cultivator was able to take Chu He and the others away. He must have either magical weapons or extremely powerful abilities.

You two must be careful."

Tang Xiuhe released City Lord Lu and carefully checked the room.

The bright red bloodstain was particularly conspicuous in the mess. He squatted down and touched a little with his finger. It contained demonic energy and was undoubtedly a demon cultivator, but not the nightmare demon he had guessed.

Leng Zhuxin was also looking at the bloodstains on the ground. These were left by the demon cultivator she had just stabbed. Apart from a small, conspicuous pool of blood at the beginning, the rest were just a few small drops that spread into the bedroom and disappeared.

The doors and windows were still the same as when they came in, without any damage at all. There were no clues on the only open window and door.

Leng Zhuxin let go of Chen Wei and walked carefully into the bedroom. The bloodstains disappeared two steps after she entered the bedroom.

She turned around and called out to Tang Xiuhe, "Brother Tang, I just had a fight with a demon cultivator. There should be at least two of them. One of them was stabbed by me, and the blood left behind disappeared into the bedroom. Could they have left through the bedroom?"

Leng Zhuxin walked to the left window of the bedroom. The window was tightly locked from the inside and there was no sign of it being opened. She gently pulled out the latch and pushed it open. There was still dust on it, and there was no possibility of getting out.

Tang Xiuhe also checked the right window and came to the same conclusion as Leng Zhuxin.

He looked up at the beam, leaped over it, and carefully inspected the roof.

There was no damage or leakage on the roof, nor was there any mechanism.

Looking down from the beam, the bed and table in the bedroom were clearly visible, and there was nothing wrong.

Leng Zhuxin felt around on the dressing table but couldn't find any mechanism. After thinking for a moment, she looked at City Lord Lu, who was still trembling behind her, and asked, "Is there a secret passage in this room?"

"No, no."

City Lord Lu stood beside Chen Wei with a pale face, not daring to stay too far away from her. His cowardly look did not seem like a city lord at all.

Leng Zhuxin frowned again after hearing his words and glanced at the layout of the bedroom. She walked out of the bedroom and followed the bloodstains on the ground, speculating where the demon cultivator might have escaped from.

Just now, in the black fog, although her vision was obstructed, her hearing was sensitive. In addition to hearing the footsteps of her disciples, she seemed to hear a very light sound, as if some mechanism was being opened.
