"It can be seen from the records that the Secret Demon Sect was too powerful back then. One sect defeated several Taoist and Buddhist sects in a single fight. In the end, they were wiped out. I thought it was a complete defeat."

"But now it seems that the Secret Demon Sect is not stupid. They actually hid many of their magical powers and magical powers among the demons outside the territory. The number of demons in the group is endless. Even if Taoism and Buddha join forces, they cannot kill them all.

, it is indeed a perfect and perfect method.”

"The only thing that needs to be considered is, what is the purpose of the Secret Demon Sect doing this?"

"Is it so that future generations can successfully retrieve the inheritance and gain a large number of followers so that they can make a comeback?"

"Or is it simply revenge, spreading the secret demon's method all over the world through the hands of extraterrestrial demons, and finally creating countless new secret demon sects, large and small?"

"Or maybe, both."

When his thoughts flashed here, Tao Qian couldn't help but shake his head and give up thinking.

There is too little information to guess the Secret Demon Sect's plan for the time being.

However, Tao Qian silently made up his mind and asked the puppet body to find out some information about the spiritual world and the mysterious demon from "Pan Matchmaker" before analyzing it.

His true form, a young child at the bottom, doesn't even know what he is doing for the time being.

This is also impossible. He has only been possessed and reborn for a few years, and it is already very rare to be in the situation he is in now.

"The path of spiritual practice is quite difficult, but I have worked really hard."

Tao Qian Yuanshen squatted on the spiritual platform, holding the Tao seed in his arms, muttering to himself.

Then he thought about the Ten Thousand Transformations Technique and the Immortal Killing Sword Technique, both of which were first-class good things.

After thinking for a moment, Tao Qian first put away the bone fragment engraved with the "Secret Demonic Transformation Technique", and then pinched the fangs carrying the sword technique of killing immortals.

Snapped!

He clapped his hands violently, and his fangs suddenly turned into a sharp white light and sank into Tao Qian's mouth.

The method obtained from the devil outside the territory is originally transformed by the imprint of the devil's thoughts. It seems to be real but also virtual. It can be swallowed and refined. It is so convenient to learn.

After refining the demonic thought, Tao Qian's Yuanshen immediately felt a faint ray of light in his body, and at this moment he unleashed the "immortal-killing" sword intention that might not even kill the tigers and leopards.

It was very childish, but it also made Tao Qian feel good.

After all, it is Jiuzhen Spiritual Sound, and in addition to the sword technique of sacrificing one's life, it has another way to defend against enemies.

If he were to face a strong person in the future, Tao Qian could first use his spiritual sound to shock him. If nothing happened to the opponent, he would then use the Immortal Killing Strike and the Sacrifice Strike to make up for it. If this didn't work, he would have to use the Nascent Soul Escape Technique.

Escaped.

However, Tao Qian himself also knew that it was okay to crush some casual cultivators or young cultivators with little support.

If he faced a large number of disciples of the same level, he would probably still be defeated.

Fortunately, he still has many skills that he has not yet learned, such as the Ten Thousand Transformations Technique, the Alien Fire Pill Scroll, etc.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I’m biting off more than I can chew.

He is exempt from the cost, but does not have unlimited clones or unlimited energy.

Now that the fate has just been determined, the spirit treasure source energy is full, and the soul is full, practicing one more sword technique is already the limit.

"Three days have passed, why not go back... huh?"

While Tao Qian was thinking this, he suddenly felt something in his heart as he touched on the key word three days.

An indescribable premonition that made him a little uneasy emerged inexplicably.

Something seems to have happened?

Tao Qian stood up suddenly, frowned, moved the boulder from the entrance of the cave, and jumped onto the stream.

Without any thought of appreciating the mountain scenery, Tao Qian identified the direction and quickly headed towards the Xuxian County area.

The closer Tao Qian got to Xunxian County, the more solemn his expression became.

It was clearly a scorching day, but what Tao Qian saw and felt made him feel like he was in a human purgatory with gloomy clouds and howling ghosts and gods.

The villages and townships outside Xunxian County used to have a peaceful and peaceful scene, but now they are all as quiet as a ghost town. No one is working in the fields, no one is resting by the roadside, and from time to time there is a howling wind, mixed with the neighing of crows and the howling of wild dogs. , it is rare to encounter some people, no matter old or young, all of them look ashen and gloomy, like disaster ghosts.

From time to time, white lanterns can be seen hanging in those country houses, coffins are placed, and low and feeble wailing can be heard faintly.

What's even more shocking is that there are human bones that are gradually decaying by the roadside and under the trees.

Tao Qian passed by a mass grave and stopped suddenly.

I glanced over and saw that there were countless new corpses added to the stone and earth pit, with varying degrees of decomposition, including the appearance of new death, bloating, blood smearing, and messy fat... all of them.

But the most important thing is eating food.

Black crows in the wilderness, wild dogs with red eyes, and hungry wolves in the mountains all gathered here, vying to gnaw at the corpses. Some impatient wolf dogs even burrowed directly into the corpses to eat the rotten and swollen corpses. Out of the intestines.

Due to Tao Qian's sudden appearance, all these ferocious beasts turned their heads and looked over. They even rushed towards him madly because they smelled the freshest smell of human flesh.

"snort"

Tao Qian did not use his spiritual voice, but only let out a low voice filled with source energy, which shattered the internal organs of these ferocious creatures.

Without paying any further attention, Tao Qian went to Xuxian County with a gloomy face.

Halfway through, he seemed to have gone through a hellish journey.

It wasn't until we approached Xunxian County that the human atmosphere became strong again.

But his complexion did not improve at all, because Xunxian County at this time was not as lively and prosperous as it used to be.

Some are dilapidated and frightening.

For some reason, strict checkpoints were set up at the city gate, and it was very strange that only people were allowed to go in, but not allowed to go out.

After Tao sneaked into the city, he quickly learned the reason:

There seemed to be some kind of plague or some other disaster in the city, and there were many victims.

Whether they were civilians or police officers, more than half of them had strange symptoms on their bodies.

Their bodies are stooped and thin, their skin is pale and bloodless, and their hair is very sparse, with their scalp barely visible.

If that was all, Tao Qian also caught a glimpse of their necks, with a fist-sized tumor bulging out, and veins stretching out, followed by a blurry human face, and even some facial features on the face. Expressions such as pain and grinning.

If outsiders came here and saw these, they would be paralyzed in fear.

And the people in the city seem to be used to it.

In other words, it has become numb.

What made Tao Qian even more incredible was that it was not that the bustling Xunxian County had become dilapidated and lonely, but that a new and lively area suddenly appeared in the atmosphere of decline.

That area, just to the west of Caishi Street, seems to be a newly opened market.

It's just that what is sold in the market is not department store vegetable oil, but... people, living people.

At this moment, Tao Qian didn't need to guess anything. During the three days of his retreat, something terrible must have happened in Xunxian County and the surrounding area.

Just when he was about to find someone for questioning, suddenly there was a thunderbolt in the sky.

Then, Tao Qian felt a strong throbbing that made him sick.

He suddenly raised his head and saw a huge dark cloud floating over from the direction of Tiefo Mountain in the distance.

boom!

In Xunxian County, everyone fell into panic.

No matter who it was, everyone began to run away frantically looking for a place to hide.

The look of extreme fear on his face obviously couldn't be just to "hide from the rain"?

Just when Tao Qian was confused, two familiar loud shouts suddenly came from not far away, and he saw Li Sanyu and Jia Qiang, two neighboring bosses, ran over quickly and dragged him to the yard behind the pharmacy.

It was Jia Qiang's home, with a shop in front and a courtyard in the back.

Tao Qian did not resist and was admitted to the hospital with the two of them.

Soon I saw the families of the two bosses gathered here. Everyone had uneasiness, fear, and haggardness on their faces.

As soon as they entered the door, the two of them started spraying at the same time.

"Sister Tao, are you desperate for your life?"

"When the insect rain comes, the scholar doesn't know how to hide. Maybe he wants to kill himself."

"Insect rain?"

As soon as Tao Qian expressed his doubts, he saw two people letting the women and children into the back room.

Then they divided the work and cooperated. Li Sanyu took lime and spread it all over the yard, and laid a thick defensive line in front of the threshold of the big house. Jia Qiang took three sticks, divided them and stuffed them into Tao Qian's hand.

Got one.

Then, with a nervous look on his face, he explained: "When you see those disgusting bugs later, just smash them hard, but don't get close."

When listening to Jia Qiang's words, Tao Qian silently raised his ears to sense the surroundings, and found that other courtyards and shops were also acting in the same way.

And the questions that filled his mind were answered in the next moment.

Along with the sound of thunder, the sky suddenly darkened.
