Zhang Xiaofan was walking alone in a remote alley.
According to the news obtained from the old sweeper, some strange figures did appear in Heyang City during this period.
However, Heyang City was originally the largest city in the vicinity. People came and went every day, so the presence of more strangers was not a big deal.
But during this time, the world was turbulent, and the good and the evil were at war, and there was no room for Zhang Xiaofan to be careless.
After bidding farewell to the old man sweeping the floor, Zhang Xiaofan silently inspected Heyang City. There were countless people in this huge city. Even if there were some people with evil intentions hiding in it, Zhang Xiaofan could not find them with his own ability.
Several days passed and no useful news was found.
Zhang Xiaofan is young and rarely has time to walk down the mountain. Even if many people from the Demon Cult stood in front of him, Zhang Xiaofan would not be able to recognize them if they did not identify themselves.
After passing through streets, we arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
When it comes to control and familiarity with a city, the local city lord's mansion is the most powerful.
"Zhang Shaoxia, please come inside."
After learning about Zhang Xiaofan's intention, the servants did not dare to neglect and quickly introduced Zhang Xiaofan into the city lord's palace.
"The Lord of the City is working in the mansion. Does Zhang Shaoxia want to see the Lord of the City now?"
The servant who led the way said to Zhang Xiaofan.
"I'm sorry."
Zhang Xiaofan cupped his hands.
If there is really any trace of the demon sect in Heyang City, they can achieve some meritorious deeds and reduce the time of being punished at the foot of the mountain.
"Don't dare."
The master of Qingyun Sect, who was treated politely even by the city lord, was so polite to him, so the servant was a little flattered.
He led Zhang Xiaofan towards the city lord's office.
"The Lord of the City has given instructions that if Shaoxia Zhang comes to visit, there is no need to inform and you can enter directly."
The servant said this while leading Zhang Xiaofan forward.
Not long after, we arrived at the city lord's office.
When Zhang Xiaofan arrived, the city lord had already appeared at the door.
"Zhang Shaoxia."
After bowing his hand to Zhang Xiaofan, the city lord said with a smile on his face: "Please come inside."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Although his status as a disciple of Qingyun allows Zhang Xiaofan to stand in a higher position when facing people like the Lord of Heyang City.
But for the identity of Caomiao Village, a figure like the city lord was also a top-notch figure.
In the past few years, I have been cultivating hard in Qingyun Mountain, and I have always been the youngest disciple. I have never realized that I am a big shot.
During this period of time in Heyang City, he has come to understand that his status is superior to those at the bottom of the mountain. However, Zhang Xiaofan still has not developed the habit of being superior and treats the city lord as an equal.
"Lord City Lord, I have something to come to you."
After entering the room, Zhang Xiaofan said to the city lord.
After sending the servants out, the city lord personally poured a cup of tea for Zhang Xiaofan and placed it on the table in front of Zhang Xiaofan.
Hearing Zhang Xiaofan speak, the city lord smiled and said, "I wonder what the young hero wants?"
"During this period, things are a bit uneven in the world."
Zhang Xiaofan said after careful consideration: "The city lord should also have some news."
The city lord nodded: "Not bad."
Looking at Zhang Xiaofan's face, he remembered what he had heard during this time.
The face of the city lord changed slightly: "But the Demon Cult came to Heyang City?"
If this is really the case, with the strength of Heyang City, there is no way to deal with those cultivators. According to rumors, the demon sect is murderous and commits all kinds of evil.
"Zhang Shaoxia."
The Lord of Heyang City looked at Zhang Xiaofan, afraid that Zhang Xiaofan would give a definite answer.
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head.
"Lord City Lord, I am here just for this matter, but people in the Demon Cult often hide in the dark. Even if I really come to Heyang City, I can't find them."
"I'm here to hope that the city lord will send someone to keep an eye on the people who come to Heyang City during this period."
"If you find anyone suspicious, please notify me."
After a pause, he continued: "Heyang City and Qingyun Mountain are not far apart. If the whereabouts of the Demon Cult are discovered, I can notify the mountain in time."
Hearing that Zhang Xiaofan was just suspicious, the Lord of Heyang City breathed a sigh of relief.
He nodded: "Zhang Shaoxia, please rest assured. I will definitely urge my subordinates to search for this matter with all their strength."
He bowed his hands to Zhang Xiaofan and said, "Zhang Shaoxia cares about the people and deserves to be called Qingyun Shaoxia. With you here, I feel confident."
Although he had already accepted his identity, Zhang Xiaofan was still a little embarrassed when the Lord of Heyang City saluted him like this.
Thinking that he represents Qingyun Sect, his expression does not change.
He said to the Lord of Heyang City: "If you find anything, please remember to send someone to notify me in time. If there is nothing else, I will not disturb the Lord of the City in his work."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaofan stood up and walked out.
"I'll send Zhang Shaoxia off."
The Lord of Heyang City stood up and walked out with Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan nodded and did not refuse. He had actually experienced this kind of thing several times.
After walking out of the door, Zhang Xiaofan remembered that most of the Heyang City Lord's subordinates were just ordinary people.
Then he turned back to the Lord of Heyang City and said: "If you find a suspicious person, remember not to conflict with him. Most people in the Demon Cult are cruel."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaofan recalled the demon sect disciples he had encountered.
When I first went down the mountain, Nakhon Sang Mountain was home to countless vampire bats, which were wreaking havoc and turning hundreds of miles of land around Nakhon Sang Mountain into a deserted place.
The second time I went down the mountain, on the Liupo Mountain, even a girl from the Demon Cult had deep thoughts and took advantage of her, almost causing heavy losses to the young generation of Qingyun Sect.
The prevention against demonic cults has already been improved a lot.
So he told the city lord to pay attention and not to be poisoned by the devil's cult.
The Lord of Heyang City was stunned when he heard Zhang Xiaofan's words.
People who practice Taoism have always been aloof. Even righteous monks often do not think about the feelings of ordinary mortals.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaofan would remind himself specifically.
Look at Zhang Xiaofan.
It is said that this Zhang Shaoxia was punished and came to Heyang City after he committed some mistake.
I didn't expect him to be such a kind-hearted young man.
He smiled at Zhang Xiaofan and said, "They are all slippery guys. Don't worry, Zhang Shaoxia, if there is any danger, everyone will avoid it as soon as possible."
He sent Zhang Xiaofan all the way to the door.
He bowed his hand to Zhang Xiaofan again: "Zhang Shaoxia, walk slowly."
Zhang Xiaofan responded with a gift: "Thank you, City Lord, for sending me off. Please come back."
After bidding farewell to the Lord of Heyang City, Zhang Xiaofan looked at the sky.
It's getting late, and it's almost time to go back today.
I still have to practice cultivation when I return to my own yard.
In the past few months, I have been in Heyang City.
Without the soul-eating stick by his side, Zhang Xiaofan felt much calmer.
Sometimes when I think of senior sister Tian Linger and Qi Hao, I don't always feel the same inexplicable sadness and indignation as before.
As time passed, I gradually accepted the relationship between the two.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that Senior Brother Qi Hao might not be bad.
He laughed bitterly at himself.
What happens to others, what does it have to do with you?
Worry less.
······
While it was still dark, Zhang Xiaofan walked quickly towards his residence.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard where he lived, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly stopped.
There was silence all around.
The two families on the left and right have stopped harassing me some time ago.
Especially that bold girl, Zhang Xiaofan didn't know how long she was happy after she was sure that the other party would never harass her again.
The people living nearby are all well-known figures in Heyang City. Unlike ordinary people's residences, it is still bustling before dark.
But it has never been so quiet on weekdays.
This made Zhang Xiaofan suddenly alert.
If it were Zhang Xiaofan from a few months ago, he would never be able to be so cautious.
The past few months of practicing in the world have been huge for Zhang Xiaofan.
A pair of eyes radiated sharp light, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
There is nothing, which means there must be something around.
After staying outside the hospital for a short time, in the silent environment, the feeling of depression became more and more intense.
"Pfft."
A laugh came from inside the courtyard.
"who!"
Hearing the sound, Zhang Xiaofan shouted loudly.
The Binghuo Immortal Sword was sacrificed, and it immediately flew up to the top of the wall, looking towards the place where the laughter sounded in the courtyard.
"Zhang Shaoxia's cultivation has improved a lot."
There was a figure sitting in the courtyard.
The man was wearing a green dress and looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a smile.
It was the girl from the Demon Cult whom I had just remembered.
"It's you!"
Zhang Xiaofan looked solemnly at the girl sitting in the seat that should have belonged to him.
"What are you doing here again?"
Looking at Baguio with both eyes, the Binghuo Immortal Sword soared with a layer of flames.
"Do you think I really can't do anything to you?"
Baguio just looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a smile.
"Zhang Shaoxia is so angry."
Looking at the flaming red fairy swords surrounding Zhang Xiaofan: "Zhang Shaoxia, even the magic weapon has been changed."
Seeing that Baguio didn't answer his questions and commented on his anger and magic weapon, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't figure out what Baguio wanted to do.
Forcibly restraining his emotions, he kept saying in his heart: "Calm down, this witch is very cunning, you can't be fooled by her."
"This is Heyang City."
Zhang Xiaofan looked at Baguio and said in a deep voice.
The meaning in the words is obvious. This place is very close to Qingyun Sect. If anything happens, the elders of Qingyun Sect will be able to come over soon.
Baguio laughed and didn't take Zhang Xiaofan's words to heart at all.
The last time I came here, I wanted to find out about Qin Chong. I was alone in Heyang City, not far from Qingyun Gate, so I was naturally cautious.
But this time is different. Countless masters from the four major sects of the Demon Sect have secretly arrived in Heyang City.
Naturally, Baguio no longer has to worry about the masters from the Qingyun Sect coming back to surround him. It would even be better if the masters from the Qingyun Sect came.
I came here this time because I spent a few days on Liupo Mountain.
Although the purpose of getting along with Zhang Xiaofan was to get information from Zhang Xiaofan, Zhang Xiaofan's kind character also infected Baguio.
Baguio knew that this time all the demon sect masters came out to completely destroy the Qingyun Sect.
Baguio thought that Zhang Xiaofan might be destroyed like cannon fodder in this conflict.
I wanted to remind Zhang Xiaofan a few words to help him avoid the crisis.
This is not to say that Baguio suddenly became kind-hearted, but just to discuss the matter, although he deceived Zhang Xiaofan at the beginning, Zhang Xiaofan was indeed one of the few people who had truly cared about him, so saving him once for this reason was also
Let yourself have peace of mind.
I saw Zhang Xiaofan looking so angry when he saw him.
Baguio found it interesting, so he decided not to talk about the business first, but to tease this kind-hearted guy who looked like a fool.
I saw that the magic weapon in Zhang Xiaofan's hand was no longer the ugly fire stick it used to be, but turned into a fairy sword surrounded by fire.
After Baguio returned to Liupo Mountain, he also asked his father.
The magic weapon that is fused with the demonic cult's most precious blood-thirsty bead.
When the Ghost King was on Liupo Mountain, although he had never seen Zhang Xiaofan's magic weapon directly, he had seen it from a distance.
I told Baguio that the stick can be fused with the blood-thirsty bead using the blood refining technique. It has a strong evil aura and must be of a similar grade to the blood-thirsty bead. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to succeed in the blood refining.
Among the many treasures in the legend, there should be only one evil thing called the soul-stirring rod that has such evil aura and is almost the same as the blood-thirsty bead.
But because he didn't have close observation, the Ghost King couldn't be sure.
Thinking of this, Baguio smiled and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Zhang Shaoxia, where is your magic weapon that looks like a fire stick? Why don't you use it?"
Zhang Xiaofan snorted coldly at Baguio's words: "Witch, why are you asking this?"
My heart was filled with vigilance.
I have already heard that the Blood-thirsty Bead is the most precious treasure of the Demon Cult. This demon girl came over and asked me about the whereabouts of the Blood-thirsty Bead. Could it be that she wanted to seize the Blood-thirsty Bead?
Baguio seemed to have seen through Zhang Xiaofan's thoughts.
The smile remained unchanged and he said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Young Master Zhang, don't be wary. You have used the blood-refining method to refine the blood-thirsty bead, and no one except you can use it anymore."
Hearing Baguio say this, Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously asked: "Then why do you ask it?"
After saying that, I regretted it.
He secretly blamed himself: "Why can't I be so calm? I've been training down the mountain for so long, but I still can't change my shortcomings. I immediately said what I was thinking."
Fortunately, Baguio did not ridicule Zhang Xiaofan again, so Zhang Xiaofan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I only heard Baguio say: "That treasure has extraordinary evil aura and insufficient cultivation. Even if you are the owner, it is difficult to resist it. It is good for Zhang Shaoxia not to take it with you."
"Hey, how come these words have the same meaning as what Master said? Does this witch still care about people?"
Then he shook his head again and threw this thought out of his head.
"Don't be deceived by this witch with just a few words. You must be careful. Her purpose of coming is certainly unusual. She may want to use me for something."
"That was the case last time. She figured out in a few words that Senior Brother Qin was not on the mountain. Fortunately, I didn't know where Senior Brother Qin was at that time, otherwise Senior Brother Qin would probably be in danger."
He looked at Baguio with even more vigilance.
"Witch, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't trick me slowly. I won't tell you anything!"
Baguio looked at Zhang Xiaofan: "Zhang Shaoxia, you are also a disciple of a famous family. Why do you keep calling me a witch? Do I have no name?"
