Dark clouds loomed over the entire Crane Cry Mountain, and no one who climbed to the summit was able to leave.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Xuan remained calm; he even felt a little amused.

He glanced at the dilapidated village around him and found it covered in dust. Although it was at the foot of Crane Cry Mountain, it was clear that no one had been there for a long time.

Jiang Xuan's gaze swept over his surroundings, a look of keen interest on his face.

At this moment, Li Baishi and Pei Nanwei hugged Jiang Xuan from both sides, fearing that demons and monsters might suddenly jump out from the side.

Jiang Xuan didn't care about this. He comforted the two of them and then looked at Shu Xiu.

This girl is quite bold; she seemed very relaxed.

Jiang Xuan then handed the Human Emperor Sword to the other party and said with a smile.

"Protect them."

Upon hearing this, Shu Xiu nodded gently.

Although Jiang Xuan said that, in reality, he was the one protecting these people every time.

However, Jiang Xuan was afraid of other problems, so he always kept a few backup plans.

Only by following behind Jiang Xuan can one truly understand how reassuring he is.

Jiang Xuan and his group continued uphill and soon came across another mountain village.

However, this village is smaller than the one at the foot of the mountain, and it looks like there are only about a hundred households.

It was still afternoon when they entered the village, but the sky had already begun to darken.

Jiang Xuan glanced at the crowds of people coming and going in the village. They looked stiff, like walking corpses.

At this moment, Li Baishi and Pei Nanwei were holding each other's hands, while Shu Xiu stood between them.

Just as Jiang Xuan's gaze swept across the crowd, someone suddenly darted out from the side.

She appeared in front of the group in an instant and then pounced on Li Baishi and the others.

But at that moment, a hand gripped her tightly with great force.

The old woman struggled for a moment but couldn't be moved. Her cloudy eyes suddenly looked at Jiang Xuan, and her previously somewhat deranged appearance instantly became quiet.

"Devil! This place is full of devils! Run, run! Don't come back!"

As she spoke, the crazy old woman began to struggle, and Jiang Xuan released his grip at that moment, letting her leave quickly.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes and a bright smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, he took two steps forward, and before he could say anything, the door of a large courtyard house not far away was pushed open.

Jiang Xuan glanced at it and saw two large red "double happiness" characters pasted upside down on the front door.

Meanwhile, the white lanterns and large red lanterns shimmered with a dim, shadowy light.

At the same time, an old man with a frail and decrepit appearance came out, walking over with a staggering gait.

At the same time, his gaze fell on Jiang Xuan and the others, and he spoke.

"You've all come from outside, haven't you? In that case, please come in."

Without waiting for their agreement, he turned around and went back to the courtyard on his own.

Seeing the other party's situation, Jiang Xuan and the others exchanged glances and then followed.

"Let's go, there's no need to be afraid of him."

They all nodded, and Jiang Xuan walked in front, striding into the courtyard.

He could see several coffins in the courtyard, along with various other items.

Jiang Xuan chuckled and shook his head, then said...

"Good heavens, if you didn't know better, you'd think this was some kind of mortuary. What's the purpose of having so many coffins here?"

The old man swayed his body, and for a long time he didn't say anything, he just coughed once.

Then, looking at Jiang Xuan and the others standing not far away, a low, hoarse voice came from them.

"Have you eaten?"

Before Jiang Xuan could speak, the old man turned and left, muttering something under his breath.

"Oh, I'll go cook for you."

Seeing this guy's appearance, Jiang Xuan and the others all showed surprise on their faces.

After all, they couldn't figure out what was wrong with the old man.

Jiang Xuan's gaze fell on him, and he realized that the old man dressed in funeral clothes was indeed a living person.

What's interesting is that his telepathic abilities couldn't see into people's hearts.

Because the old man's heart was a complete mess.

Countless memories were all mixed together, making it impossible to discern what they actually were.

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes and said nothing more.

But he came to the coffin and gently knocked on it.

Jiang Xuan originally wanted to open it, but Li Bai and Shi were a little scared, so he gave up.

Meanwhile, their gazes swept around the area, and they discovered that there were quite a few things here, including a coffin and a dry well in the courtyard.

Just as Jiang Xuan was about to go and see what was inside the dry well, the old man dressed in a funeral shroud came out.

He carried food in his hands and called Jiang Xuan and the others into the room.

"Let's eat."

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes, a look of great interest on his face.

After all, in his eyes, the things on the table in front of him were nothing but a pile of garbage, or even insects.

But to Pei Nanwei and the others, it was all kinds of big fish and big meat dishes, all kinds of delicious food.

Jiang Xuan stopped Shu Xiu, who was about to taste the dish with silver needles, and then shook his head at her.

“These things are all insects, so using silver needles won’t help.”

Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, the people present showed expressions of shock.

They never imagined that such delicious-looking food was actually made from insects.

Jiang Xuan noticed their puzzled looks and then chuckled as he spoke.

"Do you want to see what these things actually look like?"

Shu Xiu nodded, while Li Baishi and Pei Nanwei hesitated for a moment before shaking their heads simultaneously.

After all, just hearing about them makes me feel uncomfortable; if I actually saw them, wouldn't that be even more disgusting?

Thinking about this, neither of them could agree, because they really couldn't stand it.

Jiang Xuan then reached out and gently tapped Shu Xiu's forehead.

Then, a golden light flashed and disappeared in Shu Xiu's eyes.

The next second she opened her eyes and saw that the food on the table in front of her was crawling with all kinds of wriggling maggots.

Although Shu Xiu was mentally prepared, she still couldn't bear it when this scene actually appeared in front of her.

He immediately covered his mouth, almost vomiting.

The two people standing next to Shu Xiu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

They were glad they had made that choice, after all, even someone like Shu Xiu, who had witnessed killing and death, couldn't bear it.

If it were them, they probably wouldn't be able to stand it even more.

Thinking of this, the expressions of the people present became subtle, and they all looked at Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes, left the room without hesitation, and went outside.

Shu Xiu was still gagging, so Jiang Xuan gently patted her back and then transferred some internal energy to relieve her.

Shu Xiu felt much better, and then she looked up at Jiang Xuan.

Just as Shu Xiu was about to speak, the coffin outside suddenly made a loud bang.

Jiang Xuan glanced at them, then raised his head without hesitation and said.

"These guys are really fearless."

As soon as Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he pointed his finger at the Heavenly Stream Divine Finger in front of him and left a fingerprint on the coffin.

At the same time, the coffin fell silent instantly.

After all, even if the corpse of a Celestial Immortal was inside the Heavenly Stream Divine Finger, it would probably be reduced to dust.

The next second, Jiang Xuan raised his palm again and then brought it down without hesitation.

boom!

With a loud bang, all the coffins in the courtyard were shattered, and the contents of the coffins disappeared along with them.

At this moment, the old man in the funeral clothes, who had heard the noise, ran out of the room.

As he looked at everything before him, two streams of bloody tears instantly flowed down his face.

"Ahhh~ Why, why are you doing this? I give you food and shelter, why are you treating me like this?"

Before they could speak, the old man continued crying.

"You all deserve to die! You all deserve to die!"

Then Jiang Xuan could see that the entire courtyard began to shake violently, and countless strands of hair rushed out of the dry well.

There were countless people outside, frantically scratching at the door and making ear-piercing noises.

Looking at the situation before him, Jiang Xuan reached out and patted Shu Xiu in his arms. When she retreated to Li Baishi and the others, Jiang Xuan suddenly reached out.

A powerful force instantly crushed everyone.
