Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

The convoy left the city and continued along the official road.

The sky was unusually overcast.

The clouds hung low.

The air was damp and cold.

Jiang Chuan and Liu Yue'e were invited into Shen San Niang's carriage.

The carriage was spacious, with soft cushions and a burner of calming incense.

Shen San Niang personally poured tea for the two of them.

The aroma of tea mixed with a calming fragrance diluted the gloom outside the car.

"Brother Jiang, I'm a straightforward person, please don't take offense."

"Now that I've agreed to act as guarantor, I won't go back on my word."

"But let's get this straight."

"Have you two committed any wrongdoing?"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Shen. We are both law-abiding citizens and have never committed any crimes."

Shen San Niang nodded and then asked, "Brother Jiang's aura doesn't seem like that of an ordinary hunter. Could he be a martial artist?"

"Yes."

Jiang Chuan replied frankly.

"Where did you learn your teacher?"

"My ancestors encountered a master who bestowed upon them a method, but my father's generation never grasped its essence. It was only in my generation that I was able to understand some of the secrets from the scripture."

Jiang Chuan didn't even blink when he said this.

He had prepared this explanation long ago.

In any case, the "Nine Breaths Breathing Technique" was indeed obtained from the dead, so it can't be considered entirely fake.

Shen San Niang remained calm, not entirely convinced, her eyes scanning Jiang Chuan's face repeatedly.

"Then why did Brother Jiang leave Zhang County?"

"Zhang County is too small."

Jiang Chuan had already prepared his answer and replied fluently, "I want to go to a big city to try my luck, and maybe I'll have a chance to go further in the future."

Shen San Niang nodded and asked no more questions.

The atmosphere inside the car quieted down again.

Jiang Chuan knew that since Shen San Niang was willing to vouch for them, she would naturally want to find out their background.

Although it was an interrogation.

But he didn't feel offended.

Guarantor.

It serves more than just a referral role.

According to the rules of the Jing Dynasty, if the person being guaranteed commits a crime, the guarantor will also be punished.

Those who commit minor offenses will be fined, while those who commit serious offenses will be punished with the same crime.

If someone is willing to act as a guarantor, they are responsible for the consequences, and it is only natural to ask them a few questions.

The carriage swayed, and after a brief conversation...

Jiang Chuan suddenly felt something.

He lifted the curtain and glanced casually at the roadside.

In the fields.

Several blurry figures stood there.

They stood motionless, like scarecrows erected by farmers in the fields.

He was too far away to see the other person's face clearly, but their posture was obviously aimed at the convoy.

Jiang Chuan was startled and quickly drew the curtains, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

The convoy drove for a while longer.

suddenly.

Someone was frantically banging on the carriage.

"Boss! Boss! Something's not right! The convoy keeps going in circles!"

Shen San Niang's expression changed.

He quickly got out of the car.

Jiang Chuan followed her and jumped out of the car.

The team members were gathered together.

Whispering among themselves.

Look around.

Something was definitely not right.

The official road was still the same official road, but even if the caravan traveled slowly, it should have already left Zhang County in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Looking back now, you can still see the city wall of Zhang County!

It was gray and hazy.

It resembles a tomb standing on the earth.

"A ghost wall?!"

Shen San Niang blurted out, and the coachmen gathered around, chattering all at once.

"Master, this road is extremely strange!"

"Did we stumble upon something unclean?!"

Jiang Chuan, with his keen senses, scanned his surroundings.

Sure enough, those eerie figures reappeared in the woods on both sides of the road.

They all remained motionless, staring intently in their direction.

It's so intense that it makes you feel uneasy.

at this time.

Shen San Niang also began to understand what was going on.

With a stern face, she walked up to Jiang Chuan and questioned him in a low voice, "Brother Jiang, tell me the truth! Did this ghost come with you?!"

Jiang Chuan's expression turned serious. He hadn't expected that this thing would actually follow him!

He couldn't lie when Shen San Niang asked him.

He immediately admitted frankly, "That thing does have some connection with me, but even if I didn't hide it, you still wouldn't be able to leave this place."

Shen San Niang was furious.

But then I thought about it again.

She had to admit that what Jiang Chuan said wasn't wrong.

If Jiang Chuan hadn't brought this up, they would still be foolishly staying in the city, unaware that danger was approaching.

Shen San Niang glanced around and also noticed the strange things in the mountains and forests.

She said with a grim expression:

"I've heard that once a ghost appears, it will affect an area of ​​several miles, pulling the entire area into a secluded and mysterious realm."

"That's why those places that suffered from demonic calamity eventually disappeared from the world."

"The maze we're currently experiencing is exactly like being trapped in that ghost's labyrinth!"

"If that's really the case..."

"Unless we're lucky enough to encounter a passing Divine Fire Realm expert who can help break the illusion."

"otherwise."

"Ultimately, it will inevitably lead to certain death!"

After saying that, she gave Jiang Chuan a bitter smile: "Brother Jiang, you've really put me in a difficult position!"

Jiang Chuan frowned, remaining noncommittal.

He admitted it.

The responsibility for this matter does indeed lie with him.

Shen San Niang was implicated by him, and she can't deny that.

But then again, he had no idea that killing a few bears would lead to the birth of a terrifying ghost!

Secondly, the fact that this ghost was born means that the factors that led to its formation have always existed.

This ghost will appear in the world sooner or later.

Even without him, some other guy or someone else would have run into him.

He simply brought it forward.

The problem now is not assigning responsibility, but finding a way to solve it!

"Besides a Divine Fire Realm expert, is there no other way to deal with it?"

Shen San Niang shook her head with a grim expression.

"I only know a little about this kind of thing. Even a master at the Nascent Soul Realm would die if he faced it."

"What can an ordinary person like me, who has only learned a few rudimentary tricks, do?"

Shen San Niang gritted her teeth and quickly made a decision.

"Back to the city!"

"Since we can't get out, let's go back to the county town!"

"Go and notify the county government, the Wang family, and the Qingfeng Martial Arts School! Call them all here to discuss countermeasures!"

"It's better than us all facing that ghost alone!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan was surprised to learn that they were actually going to cooperate with the Wang family.

I was extremely unwilling.

But right now.

He didn't have a better solution either.

Only by surviving can you have the right to think about other things.

He returned to the car, and Liu Yue'e immediately asked worriedly, "Xiao Chuan, what happened?"

Jiang Chuan patted the back of her hand. "It's alright. The convoy encountered some unexpected problems and may need to return to the city to rest for a few days."

Liu Yue'e's face turned pale, filled with unease. Jiang Chuan comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Liu Yue'e nodded and buried her face in his shoulder.

The convoy turned around and headed back towards Zhang County.

It took half a day to get here, but the return trip was quick; in no time at all, the city gate was right in front of us.

Jiang Chuan leaned against the carriage, deep in thought.

Only divine fire can fight against demons.

but……

What exactly is this divine fire?
