Opening: Me, I become stronger when I am beaten!

Ye Chen seriously injured the old man, and then successfully broke through the formation.

He didn't stay too long in Xuanqingzong, and he left directly after the Peach Blossom Fairy Meeting was over.

As for the remaining matters, Xuanqingzong's senior management will naturally handle them by themselves.

When returning to Zongmen, Ye Chen suddenly heard a strange message from a passerby.

Several monks were on their way along the plank road, walking head-on with Ye Chen.

"It is said that a strange thing has happened in Fengyue Town recently. Let's leave as soon as possible, so as not to suffer disaster in time."

"Yes, yes, the rumors over there are very tight recently. It's better not to join in the fun. With our cultivation base, I'm afraid we will die if we go."

"That's right. I heard that some people didn't believe in evil. They went to the town to stay for one night, and they disappeared the next day. I don't want to go into this muddy water."

Hearing this conversation, Ye Chen was slightly puzzled.

This place is at the foot of Dao Yunzong's mountain, so it can be said that everything has been safe and sound.

Since Dao Yunzong took over this site, no one in the world dares to act presumptuously here. All monsters and ghosts have nowhere to hide. This can be said to be the safest place.

Fengyue Town is at the foot of the mountain not far from Dao Yunzong, and it is also within the jurisdiction of Dao Yunzong. Sometimes there will be disciples passing by here, and it stands to reason that nothing should happen.

He stopped the monks and asked: "Several, I don't know what happened to the strange thing you mentioned. Are you sure it happened in Fengyue Town? As far as I know, it is very safe there."

The youngest of them was also over forty years old, and he was a little upset when he was stopped by such a young person.

"Go, go, you young people, just accept your curiosity, stay where it's cool, and don't join in the fun, or I'm afraid there will be no ashes left."

"That's right, let's go quickly, don't inquire about it."

The two looked disdainful and wanted to send Ye Chen away.

At this moment, an old man in yellow clothes next to them patted the shoulders of the two of them.

It could be seen that the slap was so hard that the two grinned on the spot.

"My little friend, my two comrades are outspoken, so please don't blame me."

This old man had the strongest cultivation among the few, and he had the cultivation of the third heaven of the Martial King. Although he didn't recognize Ye Chen's identity at a glance, he could also see that his cultivation was not inferior to his own.

Facing such a strong man, naturally one cannot neglect it.

"May I ask the old man, what is the strange thing you are talking about?" Ye Chen asked.

The old man in yellow sighed and said: "We don't know the details, but I heard that Fengyue Town is not peaceful. It is said that there are ghosts and ghosts haunting it. Most of the adult men in the town disappeared immediately."

"Then no one will stand up to subjugate demons?" Ye Chen asked suspiciously.

The old man shook his head again, and he said: "Of course there is. Three days ago, there happened to be a group of monks who wanted to find out, and the leader of them was a famous dual swordsman among casual cultivators, but in just one day, he was There is no going back."

Ye Chen has also heard some rumors from the outside world, and this dual-swordsman Nie Zhen can be regarded as one of the lesser-known figures.

At the age of 30, he stepped into the realm of King Wu, and at the age of 40, he came to the middle stage of King Wu. Although some sects offered him an olive branch and wanted to invite him to be the elder of the sect, he refused them all without exception.

It is a pity that such a monk disappeared unexpectedly.

"Thanks for letting me know."

Ye Chen cupped his hands and said.

Just as he was leaving, one of them murmured to himself, "Why did that one look so familiar just now? I seem to have seen his portrait somewhere."

"This is Ye Chen."

At this time, several people were stunned at the same time, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

At this time, Ye Chen was walking in the direction of Fengyue Town, this place happened to be on the way, and he just happened to go there to check the situation.

When I came to the small town, the streets here were quiet, and it could be said that there was no one in sight, like an empty city.

Originally, this was a small town. Under the leadership of Dao Yunzong, it has developed into a prosperous town, but now it is such a desolate scene.

The doors and windows of every house were closed, and there was no other movement on the street except for the sound of the wind blowing.

This is kind of weird.

Slowly walked to the mayor's house, where the doors and windows were also closed, the mayor's mansion was very spacious, a huge yard, also a servant could not see.

This is obviously not normal.

And there was indeed no one here, the front yard and back room were empty, in fact, everyone hid in the cellar.

If it weren't for Ye Chen's ability to visit through the godhead, normal monks would not be able to find it, because there is an isolation formation at the entrance of the cellar, which can block the inside and outside.

Slowly walked to the entrance of the cellar, opened the cellar, and saw the mayor's family and two servants inside.

"It's Sect Master Ye."

The mayor, Chen Feng, hurriedly greeted him with a bitter expression on his face.

It can be seen that there are ghosts in this town, and he is also living in fear and bitterness.

The two servants on the side put down the long swords in their hands and hurriedly knelt down.

"There's no need to be too polite." Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

He inquired about the situation here in detail, but Chen Feng didn't have much useful information, he just told what happened, but he didn't know much about this ghost.

The incident first happened seven days ago, which happened to be the time when Ye Chen left Taihengzong and Xuanqingzong sent an invitation from the Peach Blossom Fairy Association.

When this ghost appeared, the color of the sky and the earth changed, accompanied by a howling black wind, all the men on the street were swept away by the black wind and disappeared without a trace.

And in this short period of seven days, ghosts appeared five times in total, and every time people were panicked. Although some people hid at home, they still could not escape the fate of being captured.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside.

"Sect Master Ye, it might be that thing has come again, let's close the cellar and go hide." Chen Feng said in horror.

"It's okay, Mayor Chen, this is my disciple."

Soon, Xiao Cheng walked in and bowed to Ye Chen.

"Sovereign, I received a mission from the sect to investigate the presence of ghosts and ghosts. I happened to find someone here, so I came to check."

Ye Chen nodded, "Are you here alone?"

"Yes, the other senior brothers and sisters are about to break through, and I couldn't bear to disturb them, so I came here alone, thinking that I would definitely be able to eradicate that sneaky thing."

Ye Chen didn't say much, and trusted Xiao Cheng to handle it.

Although this disciple didn't appear many times, he was considered to have been in the limelight at the martial arts competition, and he had great potential.

The mayor warmly entertained Xiao Cheng, made some simple preparations, and then when night fell, Ye Chen decided to use himself as a bait to lure the sneaky man to come.
