I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

When they entered, they concealed their breath to avoid being discovered by the guards inside.

But to Zhao Kangping's surprise, this place didn't seem to be a warehouse, but a sewer.

At this time, Zhao Kangping also remembered that a complex sewer network was built underneath Chuanliu City when it was first established.

But the good news was that he discovered that there was indeed some spiritual light from treasures nearby, although it was extremely thin.

Not long after they left, they discovered several small rooms guarded by monks.

There are only three cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so Zhao Kangping doesn't even need to take action.

Dongfang Jingrou's figure flashed, and before the three guards noticed the crisis coming, their heads had already rolled to the ground, dying silently.

"Why are you so anxious? Aren't you afraid of killing the wrong person?" Zhao Kangping also followed him into the small rooms.

However, the housekeeper used a long knife to pry open the collars of the three dead men, revealing a black snake mark on their necks. She said, "We didn't kill the wrong people. They are members of the Black Snake Gang. They are also a leading underground force in Chuanliu City."

"During their heyday, they committed many crimes in the city. They dared to do anything except confront the five major families."

"He has engaged in human trafficking, contraband trading, and intelligence trading."

"Later, they were surrounded and suppressed by He Weiyuan, who was still the city lord. Since then, there have been very few traces of the Black Snake Gang in the city."

"But there are signs that this gang has not completely disappeared."

"We at Suzaku Hall have investigated many cases involving this gang before. But we just can't find their base."

"It seems that they moved their nest underground."

After listening to the woman's story, Zhao Kangping nodded and said, "I haven't paid attention to these things before."

It is obvious that He Weiyuan did not wipe out the Black Snake Gang back then, but rather recruited them for his own use.

They searched the area and found something unexpected.

In those small rooms, they found several bottles of elixirs used for cultivation.

If it were an ordinary elixir, it would not be enough to attract their attention, but there were special marks on the porcelain bottles of these elixirs.

"Baicao Valley." Zhao Kangping saw a line of small words on the porcelain bottle, starting with these three words.

This is a small sect that specializes in growing spiritual medicines and refining pills, and is also an affiliated force of the Zi Yang Holy Land.

"These must be tributes." Dongfang Jingrou also found more empty medicine bottles, all of which had the marks of the affiliated sects of Ziyang Holy Land on them.

Once tribute was delivered to the Holy Land, it would not be circulated. Even if certain vassal forces made contributions to the Holy Land, and the Holy Land bestowed rewards by selecting rewards from the tribute, they would only give the items to the corresponding forces.

The Black Snake Gang is a gang that is not well-known. How can it be qualified to receive these tributes?

"I think I understand now. They must have asked the Black Snake Gang to take care of the backlog of tributes." Dongfang Jingrou's mind raced as she expressed her guess. Although it was just a guess, it was pretty close.

"Well, I guess so. The warehouse we are looking for should be in this sewer network." Zhao Kangping said.

At this time, Zhao Mengyao became a little excited, and she said, "Then can I help too?"

Zhao Mengyao has never had the opportunity to travel far away to gain experience.

Once before, she accepted a mission from the Holy Land, but the bad woman Mingluan took control of her body in the middle of the journey.

This time, with her master by her side, she could go on adventures with him. This was what she had always dreamed of.

However, Zhao Kangping said, "It's still unclear what kind of enemy is here, so just follow me."

But Zhao Mengyao said stubbornly: "No, Senior Sister can share your worries, I also want to do something for Master."

As she spoke, she chanted a spell and summoned three water cats.

As soon as the three extremely yin water cats appeared, they started fighting with each other, looking like kittens playing.

Just then, the squeaking of mice was heard in the distance.

The three kittens immediately perked up, and they slowly and cautiously approached the mouse.

In a sense, they were already undead. Their bodies were mostly composed of extremely yin water, and their four little feet made no sound when they stepped on the ground.

Moreover, they carried a scent of death that blended seamlessly into the damp environment of the sewers. Dark, damp places like sewers were often filled with corpses.

The rats may have simply mistaken them for cat carcasses floating in the gutter and were unaware of their danger.

Not far in front of the kitten, two big rats were gnawing on a cabbage that was half rotten.

The little water cat crawled slowly almost close to the ground.

Suddenly, after getting close enough, the cats leaped out and pounced on the careless mice.

The hunt begins.

A kitten pounced on a big rat of similar size to itself. The rat's skin and flesh were quickly corroded by the extremely yin water, making a hissing sound of corrosion.

"Squeak!"

The mouse screamed in pain, and the other mouse was so scared that it abandoned the cabbage and fled into the shadows.

Unfortunately, the other two kittens blocked its escape route. One of the kittens pressed its chubby paw on the mouse's head, causing half of its face to fester. The kitten behind it pounced on the mouse and bit its back.

"Chichi~"

“Squeak!~”

The mice didn't even have a chance to struggle before they became food for the three extremely yin water cats.

The kittens used the extremely yin water to absorb the fur, flesh and blood of the two mice, leaving only the skeletons of the mice.

After this hunting, the water cats grew a little bigger.

Then something even stranger happened. A small portion of the extremely yin water within the water cat split off and enveloped the two mouse skeletons. Then, a ball of extremely yin water attached to the mouse skeletons. In the blink of an eye, this extremely yin water filled the mouse's shape.

Thus, the extremely yin mouse was born.

The Jiyin Water Cat was Zhao Mengyao's summon, and the Jiyin Mouse was the summon's summon. They completely obeyed the Jiyin Water Cat's command and had no independent consciousness.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Kangping suddenly had an idea. He said, "Mengyao, can you control your cats with your spiritual sense? I mean, I want to gain their vision."

Chapter 298 Hong'er and the Strange Mountain Village

There is a small mountain village to the north of Yunze, named Kumu Village.

There are only more than 20 households in the village, and the population is less than 100 people.

It was already dusk and the sun was setting.

"Hong'er, come back for dinner." A middle-aged woman dressed as a farmer shouted to a woman.

At this time, a red-haired woman was standing in the vegetable garden, staring at the distant horizon in a daze.

This girl was the one called Hong'er by the middle-aged woman.

When she turned around, a stunningly beautiful and enchanting face appeared. However, the color of this girl's eyes was a unique color, a gorgeous blood red.

If Zhao Kangping and Luo Xueqing were standing here, they would definitely recognize that this was clearly the witch Ye Ran who had escaped.

But now she was wearing a set of rough clothes made by a village woman, which was somewhat incompatible with her beauty.

As one of the four witches under Ming Luan, she naturally possesses a beauty that stands at the top of the demon clan.

Such a face is very eye-catching in such a remote mountain village, as if she is of a different style from the ordinary-looking villagers around her.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm not hungry." Ye Ran had lost most of his memory and even forgot his own name.

She had been wandering for a long time, and finally ended up in this mountain village. It was not until she was taken in by the kind-hearted Aunt Zhang that she finally had a place to stay.

The somewhat plump middle-aged woman treated her very well, not only cooking for her but also buying her new clothes. Aunt Zhang would ask about her well-being every day, almost treating her like a family member.

However, Ye Ran did not fully integrate into this village. She always felt that she would have to leave here sooner or later.

This was certainly not because she had already gone through a fast and did not need to eat ordinary meals, but Aunt Zhang would still cook for her every day. She could not refuse Aunt Zhang's kindness and would occasionally try a bite, but she could not taste human food at all.

Because the blood demon cannot taste any other food, no matter how well it is cooked, it will only feel bland to her. Only blood can make her feel sweet.

Indeed, Aunt Zhang's excessive enthusiasm made her feel uncomfortable.

But that wasn't why she wanted to leave.

"Sister Hong'er, Sister Hong'er, come and have dinner." At that moment, a large man emerged from the room. He was Aunt Zhang's son, named Zhang Xiong. As his name suggested, he was as strong as a bear. Unfortunately, he was a moron, a simpleton, as the saying goes.

Zhang Xiong is half the height of Ye Ran, but his IQ is about the same as that of a seven or eight-year-old child.

The silly big guy looked at Ye Ran, with a silly smile always on his face.

What made Ye Ran speechless was that Aunt Zhang always tried to match her with Zhang Xiong, intentionally or unintentionally.

Fortunately, this fool is easy to fool. He was fooled by her and it was impossible for him to take advantage of him.

"You guys eat, I have no appetite," Hong'er replied coldly. She turned and stared towards Yunze. She felt like something in Yunze was calling her.

But this feeling was illusory, and she couldn't be sure whether it was her illusion.

Aunt Zhang also followed Hong'er's gaze and looked at Yunze, but her gaze did not linger for long before she looked at the red-haired woman and said, "It's just a swamp, nothing to see."

The implication was to urge her to go into the house and eat.

However, the witch remained unmoved and continued to gaze at the sight.

The middle-aged woman knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she stopped wasting time.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the village, and Ye Ran turned his gaze there.

They were a group of sleekly dressed monks. Their robes were mostly pure white, unstained by a speck of dust. Compared to them, the villagers of Deadwood Village were nothing more than dirt.

At this time, Aunt Zhang pulled Hong'er's sleeve and said, "Miss Hong'er, you should go back to the house first. It's dangerous outside."

The witch didn't answer, but nodded and walked towards the hut.

……

Luo Xueqing participated in this demon-slaying operation and was assigned to a five-person team. Her team consisted entirely of women. Only she and another disciple were from the Ziyang Holy Land, while the other three were female disciples from other righteous sects.

Among the five-member group, Luo Xueqing has the highest cultivation level, which is the fifth level of Nascent Soul, and is not far from breaking through to the sixth level.

The others are only at the Jindan level.

Therefore, they all followed Luo Xueqing's lead.

Along the way, the five women were talking and laughing, chatting all the way.

After the flying boat they were on docked at a nearby city, they followed the arrangements of some elders and went to Yunze to scout the area first.

This Deadwood Village with less than a hundred people is a very good place to stay. The ten teams that came here always thought that they could spend the night here and leave after daytime.

It was already dusk and the sky was gradually getting dark.

Ten teams, totaling fifty people, not all of them practiced fasting. More than half of them were still in the Foundation Establishment stage and had not yet fully practiced fasting.

With such a village, they can ask the villagers for some food and water. Of course, they will not ask for it for free, and will exchange it for some earthly money and goods.

Are you talking about the fasting pill?

It is true that some people use fasting pills to deal with it, but most of the fasting pills do not taste very good.

When Luo Xueqing passed by the group of monks, she heard someone say that even dogs would not eat the Fasting Pill.

As for a place to rest, everyone who came to participate had their own solution.

Some people brought spiritual tools such as sleeping bags or tents that can be used for sleeping. People with higher cultivation levels can meditate and practice to conserve their energy.

Luo Xueqing originally wanted to find a place to meditate for the night.

But on the way, she saw a disgusting person.

Gongsun Shu, the chief disciple of Jianya Palace, is also Lin Ruowei's eldest disciple.

Luo Xueqing had heard from her master and uncle a long time ago about what the Jianya Palace Master Lin Ruowei was like back then.

During the reign of the previous Saint Lord, Lin Ruowei was his personal disciple. Even before she became a Saintess, she already possessed the demeanor of one. Whenever she traveled, she was always accompanied by a large group of personal escorts.

Back then, Lin Ruowei had done a lot to suppress the Yaohua Palace lineage. Master and Uncle Master had been ostracized by this woman.

Whenever there is a chance, he will try to trip up his master.

Unfortunately, Lin Ruowei was too arrogant and lost to her uncle in the selection of the Saint.

Only now did Lin Ruowei calm down. Perhaps she had learned from her failure and was much more low-key now than in her early years.

However, the Jianya Palace lineage belongs to the legitimate Supreme Elders faction, and they must have secretly engaged in many intrigues with the master's faction.

Various small actions that cannot be shown on the surface are endless.
