Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 904 Xuanling Third Floor
puff!
Wu Xian slowly pulled the dagger from the face of the last half-bodied evil spirit, but the illusory image of the flaming blade disappeared half a second later, and the smell of roasted meat emanated from the wound.

The area returned to quiet.

The newcomers all breathed a sigh of relief, and their views on Wu Xian were completely different from before.

Hao Ze and Shi Yan felt much more at ease.

Yang Lin stroked the 'Decapitation Curse' that had only two uses left, realizing that the power he currently possessed was completely insufficient.

Wang Wei reacted the most, his eyes burning and his voice trembling slightly: "After I become a senior familiar, will I also be able to possess that kind of power?"

"You don't need multiple blessed lands. If you're lucky enough, you'll have a chance to become stronger than I was before this blessed land ends."

Wu Xian answered casually, and then noticed that Wang Wei's voice sounded completely different from before!
This means that even in the blessed land, Wang Wei was concealing his true voice, only revealing his true feelings when he was drawn into Wu Xian's battle...

Wu Xian pursed his lips, then looked at the dagger in his hand that had already gone out of flame.

On the blade of the dagger, there is still a sun mark and four flame marks.

After Wu Xian killed the first half-bodied evil spirit with the Burning Dream Dagger, he realized that this half-bodied evil spirit was weak and not worth wasting the number of times the Burning Dream Dagger could kill.

Therefore, he dealt with the second and third half-bodied evil spirits with his bare hands.

But he soon discovered that the first half-bodied evil spirit, which had been dead for a long time, still had the mark on the dagger that had not disappeared!
The good news is that the half-body evil spirits do not count towards the kill count, so Wu Xian can unleash his full power to kill them.

The bad news is...

These half-body evil spirits are not considered independent evil spirits at all!
Thinking of this, Wu Xian couldn't help but recall the first time he opened the iron door on the right side of the transfer space, the first time he saw a human spider crawling on the ceiling through the crack in the door!
Perhaps these half-bodied evil spirits are just puppets controlled by that human spider, or even part of that human spider itself.

The human spider's body may be hiding nearby.

However, Wu Xian didn't have the time or the means to find it, so he shook his head and quickly walked towards the door.
"Let's hurry up and leave; this place is still far from safe."

……

Pushing open the iron gate, a bright and spacious view suddenly appeared before me.

The exit wasn't in a closed courtyard, but at the end of a street.

The street on the right has many similarities to the one on the left, such as a four-meter-wide street, a damp bluestone pavement, and drainage ditches on both sides.

However, the buildings on both sides of the street are noticeably more orderly, and there are more lanterns hanging from the eaves, making the whole area brighter.

On the street, there are puppet figures of pedestrians dressed in long robes, as well as flower-selling girls and beggars squatting by the wall. These puppet figures vividly portray the ancient market life.

Wu Xian looked into the distance but saw no red light, which meant that the prisoner was not patrolling this area.

Therefore, Wu Xian felt at ease leading the newcomers on patrol.

After Wu Xian and the others left, the iron gate was quietly pushed open, and a strange figure silently crawled out...

……

The area on the right is also divided into four sections by a cross-shaped street.

In the upper left area was a painted pavilion, with brightly colored gauze curtains hanging in the windows. In the main hall, pink ribbons surrounded a pink gauze lantern in the center. However, the pavilion was dilapidated, with cobwebs even forming on the windows, which creaked and swayed, almost about to fall down. This was a 'brothel'.

In the upper right area is a carved red building. Behind the accountant are wine jars of different sizes. A waiter puppet with a scarf draped over his shoulder holds a plate of roast chicken. On the first floor, there are many diners puppets sitting on the tables and chairs. But whether it is the diners in the building or the waiters and accountants, they are all looking at the front of the red building with great tension.

In the empty space in front of the table and chairs, there was a miniature clay figurine that was only one foot tall. The figurine held a knife in its right hand and a chain in its left hand. It was wearing a black uniform with red trim and the character "差" (charioteer) was written on its back. This should be a clay figurine of a yamen runner.

This is a 'restaurant'.

In the lower left area, there is a small building made of blue bricks. A half-rolled bamboo curtain hangs in front of the door, and the aroma of tea wafts from inside. A storyteller dressed in a long robe stands on a slightly elevated wooden platform, holding a fan as if he is telling a story, but there is not a single customer listening to the story below.

This is a 'teahouse'.

Brothels, restaurants, and teahouses should be the third floor of the "four establishments and three floors".

As for the remaining area in the lower right corner, it resembles a wet market, with many small stalls selling food and groceries, but it's unclear what it holds at the moment.

Like the four major families, the third floor must harbor some kind of danger or secret.

They had spent a lot of time in the passageway, and Wu Xian was worried that there wouldn't be enough time left to explore the entire building, so he first led the newcomers to the market in the lower right corner to investigate.

There were over a hundred puppets in the market, including those setting up stalls and those strolling around. These puppets were all in different poses, and their eyes were always fixed on the five people. During the exploration, everyone felt uneasy, as if they were about to be ambushed at any moment.

However, the sneak attack ultimately did not occur; they were just scaring themselves.

In addition, they found many useful little things at these stalls:
Includes two boxes of fire powder, one brass bell, two expired wound medicine pills, two sheets of soul-soothing talisman paper, two whetstones, two paper-cut "divine speed armor horses", and one bottle of corpse oil.

I had obtained the first four items before, and the last three items were all small items of the same nature.

Whetstone: Each whetstone can be used once. Sharpening a knife with each whetstone will replenish the number of uses of the Decapitation Curse.

The Swift Horse Paper Cutting: When pasted on the leg of someone with the supernatural ability of landing silently, it can increase speed for one minute.

Corpse oil: After performing the transformation into a corpse, applying corpse oil to the face can reduce the invasion of yin energy caused by the transformation into a corpse.

These items are for specific individuals. Wu Xian distributed the whetstone, the paper-cut "Divine Speed ​​Armor Horse," and the brass bell, while keeping the rest for himself. If there is another reopening, these items will be effective from the start.

In addition, Wu Xian and his group also found a carriage at the end of the market area. The carriage was covered with black cloth. Judging from the carriage's movements, it should have been preparing to leave, but it was bound in this area before leaving the market area.

Wu Xian and the others tried various methods, but they were unable to open the black cloth to see what was inside, so they could only make a note of the carriage for the time being.

Apart from that, there's nothing special about this area.

This should be a place similar to a 'bonus level' in a survival game.

Wu Xian estimated that it was almost time for the next hour, which was 1 a.m., so he led the newlyweds to the edge of the area.

When, when, when...

After the bell rang, the five people quickly left the area, and then all the puppets in the area started to move at the same time.
