The Immortal Way is Fierce

Chapter 93 Grave Digging
Without hesitation, Zhang Jingyuan stood up and moved forward quickly in the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

This fluctuation in spiritual power was the signal for the snake to summon them, the demon cultivators.

He was finally getting to the root of the questions in his mind.

Along the way, dozens of demon cultivators gradually joined Zhang Jingyuan, each of them silent and wary of each other.

When he arrived at the place, he didn't see the big snake as he expected, but instead saw the demon cultivator who was forced to pay him a black soul stone.

But what's interesting is that after the demon cultivator saw him, his expression immediately changed slightly, his head turned away instantly, and he didn't dare to look at him at all.

There is no way, that's how demon cultivators are, they respect their strength. Even if Zhang Jingyuan kills him now, no one will say anything.

From the mouths of other demon cultivators, Zhang Jingyuan learned that this demon cultivator's nickname was Tiger.

Hearing this, Zhang Jingyuan's expression suddenly became a little strange. He suddenly thought that he could provoke Tiger and reverse the nicknames of the two.

After all, no matter how you look at it, he is the tiger.

However, the tiger did not give him a chance to attack. It seemed that after seeing everyone gathered, he led them towards the distance without saying a word.

Zhang Jingyuan thought for a while and felt that it was better not to jump like that. After all, if the big snake saw the problem, he would not necessarily be unlucky, but the plan would definitely be disrupted.

After following the tiger for a while, Zhang Jingyuan suddenly realized that something was wrong, because the direction the tiger took them to was exactly the direction of Liujiacun.

Are these people going to die?
If An Qingxian, Duan Zhongmu and those monks from the Yamen were still here, wouldn't it be true that one by one of these demonic cultivators would all die here.

Don't they know that Anqing is in Xincheng first? Or is An Qing already gone?

Zhang Jingyuan suddenly had many more questions in his mind.

Just when Zhang Jingyuan's mind was full of doubts, they came to a tomb at the junction of Xincheng and Liujiacun. Besides them, there were many other demon cultivators who had already arrived.

Probably a demon cultivator responsible for other directions.

As expected, An Qingxian was not there. After taking a look around, Zhang Jingyuan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Because he was worried that An Qingxian was still there, he quietly moved An Peng's token into his storage bag on the way.

After all, if An Qing were to sense his position first, not to mention whether these demon cultivators were exposed or not, he would probably have eight mouths and couldn't explain why he was among the demon cultivators.

When the time comes, Tiger will report again and say that he has the Ecstasy Flag, but it will be even more unclear.

It would be better for such tragedies of death at the hands of one's own people to occur less often.

Immediately afterwards, it was obvious that Zhang Jingyuan's eyes were scanning the newly built tomb in front of him, and his expression suddenly became a little weird.

Are these demon cultivators really not afraid of death?
Obviously, these tombs were built by Anqing Xian and others for the monks who died to protect the new city.

And these demon cultivators?
If he guessed correctly, he definitely came here for the corpses of these dead monks!
Otherwise, why would they come here when they have nothing to do?

You can't be a tomb robber and get the burial objects, right?

There are no funerary objects here.

So the purpose of these demonic cultivators is simply like lice on a bald man's head - it's obvious.

At this moment, a black light suddenly and silently descended in front of many demonic cultivators. Zhang Jingyuan took a closer look and saw that it was a cultivator wearing a black mask.

From the python pattern on his mask, as well as the undisguised spiritual power fluctuations that only belong to the foundation-building monks, it is clear that this monk is a big snake.

Although he was prepared, Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but feel nervous.

After all, this is a foundation-building monk. Once discovered by him, he will most likely have no choice but to go down and accompany He Zhi and the others.

"Now dig up the bodies of all these righteous monks."

Orochi glanced at everyone one by one, and then said in a gloomy tone.

Although he had already guessed that the purpose of Orochi summoning them here was probably to dig a grave, the moment Orochi actually said it, Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but take a breath, and the other demon cultivators also started talking about it.

For a moment, the originally silent night sky was filled with a buzzing sound like flies flying.

Is this big snake going crazy?

How dare you dig up the corpses of these righteous monks?

You know, these monks died to protect the new city, for the people of Yunhua Star, and to implement An Qing's first policy.

According to the Taoist League's habits and his understanding of An Qingxian, An Qingxian would definitely hold a public sacrifice ceremony.

But now, these demonic cultivators dug up the graves of these monks and stole their bodies. Then An Qing held a sacrifice ceremony for the dead, which made him go crazy!
A wave of attacks against demonic cultivators is coming.

To be honest, if he had to wait for a while and let Anqing finish the public sacrifice ceremony first, he would still be able to understand that these demonic cultivators would come to steal the corpses of these monks.

Now, all he can say is that these demon cultivators are so courageous and not afraid of death!

"Commander Orochi, you mean that we only need to take out the corpses of these monks, and we don't need to put these mortal corpses back in according to the original plan, right?"

Tiger was frightened and said bravely. After hearing this, Zhang Jingyuan was suddenly shocked, and a mystery in his mind was solved by Tiger.

Co-author, why these demonic cultivators intercepted and killed the villagers of Liujiacun, just to use the corpses of the villagers of Liujiacun to kill Li Daotao, civet cats for princes, and secretly replace the corpses of these monks.

After all, many of these monks have serious four spiritual roots, and their value is infinitely higher than that of ordinary people like Liujiacun.

Of course, another reason why the villagers of Liujia Village were intercepted and killed was to prevent the news from leaking.

After all, if it weren't for this, these demon cultivators wouldn't be able to bring corpses from outside, and they wouldn't have to use these villagers to make up for their losses.

But for some reason, Zhang Jingyuan always felt that there was something unexplainable and strange here. This might be the reason why these demonic cultivators intercepted the villagers outside Canglang Demonic Mountain and insisted on killing these villagers.

But this reason was like catkins floating in the wind, which he couldn't catch or figure out.

"No need, anyway we can do it perfectly so that An Qing can't see it first. Besides, An Qing knows it first, so he knows it, so what can he do? It's not like he hasn't attacked us? Aren't we all still alive and well? ?"

"In recent years, Anqing has made greater and greater efforts to prevent us from killing ordinary mortals. It is not easy to obtain so many corpses at once."

Orochi waved his hand nonchalantly and said.

Hearing this, Tiger had no choice but to swallow his words of admonishment, and honestly directed everyone to start working and dig graves.

"By the way, old cat, come here, I have something to tell you."

However, just when Zhang Jingyuan was about to work, the big snake suddenly stopped him.

Although Zhang Jingyuan's expression remained calm, he knew clearly that his heart beat a little extra at that moment.

Silently, Zhang Jingyuan followed the big snake and walked towards the distance.

"You really gave me a surprise!"

Not far away, the big snake suddenly turned around and spoke slowly to Zhang Jingyuan.

Hearing this, Zhang Jingyuan could feel his face turn pale instantly, his heart seemed to have stopped beating, and the hairs all over his body stood up.

Could it be that the big snake has discovered him?

At such a close distance, he really had no chance of escaping.

It seems that there is nothing unusual about Zhang Jingyuan, or in other words, it is normal for these demon cultivators in the Qi Refining Period to become nervous in front of him. If they are not nervous, he will suspect that the other party is either floating or he cannot lift it. Knife.

Orochi didn't care what happened to Zhang Jingyuan and continued:

"I heard from Tiger that you have now refined the Ecstasy Flag. This is very good. With this yellow-level high-grade magic weapon, your strength should be able to instantly rise to the first echelon of Qi Refining Stage and become a foundation-building monk. The hope is much greater.”

It turns out to be this.

Zhang Jingyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for the compliment, Commander."

Zhang Jingyuan cupped his hands and said pretending to be grateful.

"The improvement in your strength means that the overall strength of our demon cultivators has been improved. I threw you into the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons before. Did you bear any grudge against me?"

Da She suddenly changed his words and stared straight at Zhang Jingyuan with a pair of bright, cold eyes.

"No, no, without the commander's small punishments and big warnings, I wouldn't have been able to achieve such progress."

Zhang Jingyuan immediately pretended to be frightened and said.

"It's fine if you don't hold grudges. I'm punishing you because you made a mistake and violated the rules. You don't have any personal grudges. Now that your strength has improved, I'll give you these two black soul stones. In addition, if I have a chance, I will Let you sit in Tiger's position."

With that said, the big snake took out two black soul stones from his arms and threw them to Zhang Jingyuan.

Looking at the two Black Soul Stones in his hands, which were obviously larger and much better in quality than the one Tiger gave him, Zhang Jingyuan felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Has he encountered any Nascent Soul recently, or something that transformed into a god or monster? Otherwise, how could you have such bad luck?

An Qing unexpectedly gave him two greeting gifts, that was all. Why would even a foundation-building demon cultivator like Orochi give him gifts?

And thinking about it carefully, it seems that after he met An Pengju, he had good luck along the way. He got a lot of spiritual stones from An Pengju, and got some extra iron courage from the iron gall bird.

And he also captured Master Ji Feng in his cave and refined it into a weapon spirit.

Could it be that An Pengju was his lucky star?

However, he could tell that the big snake was showing favor to him just to win over him, even at the expense of the tiger's position.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little sad for the tiger.

What would the tiger think if he knew that the snake was going to let him take his position?
