The Xuntang Night Market is bustling, even late at night, the streets are full of traffic.

Shen Wan was standing alone by the river, his body trembling slightly, the people around him didn't notice anything strange about him, they greeted him with a smile, Shen Wan ignored them all because of their uneasy mood.

He stood by the river, staring at the flowing river with empty eyes.

The New Year's Eve in the south is still seven days away from the Chinese New Year.

When there is no tea in the river, people will put lanterns in it.There was a dancing light in Shen Wan's pupils, and Shen Wan stared at the lantern in a trance amidst the hustle and bustle around.He knelt down and wanted to touch those lanterns, but his hands were imprisoned by invisible spiritual power.In a daze, Shen Wan saw something on the lantern, and his empty eyes were filled with fear.

He slumped on the ground, covered his face and murmured, "Don't come...don't come..."

Qi Ling stood not far away looking at Shen Wan, then looked around and said, "There are so many people, when Cui Yanglan really comes out, can you guarantee that you won't hurt anyone?"

Wu Nong: "Cui Yanglan has too much resentment. After more than ten years, she can't even suppress the double talisman. He will give you his obsession. If you don't finish it sooner, I'm afraid something will happen to you."

Both of them were wearing masks, Qi Ling couldn't see the expression on Wu Nong's face, so he could only keep silent.

When Shen Wan saw those lanterns, he remembered that he and Cui Yanglan had put down a lantern with good wishes in this position before.But now, all those moments have turned into nightmares.

Shen Wan got up from the ground, turned around and met Wu Nong's eyes.He trembled, hesitated for a second, and still mustered up the courage to escape.

The spiritual power in his hand suddenly tightened, bleeding into his wrist, Shen Wan let out a loud cry, and fell to the ground.

People around came up to help Shen Wan.

Seeing that there were many people around him, under the pressure of fear, Shen Wan's eyes became fierce. He pointed at Wu Nong and Qi Ling and said, "Those two people! They are cultivators, and they want to come to Xuntang to cause trouble! Bind me!"

As he spoke, he struggled to his feet, blood flowing along the invisible spiritual power lines in his hands.

Everyone's eyes fell on Qi Ling and Wu Nong.

Qi Ling straightened his mask, and said helplessly: "...Brother Wu, we can't hurt those common people."

Wu Nong: "What a bunch of idiots."

Shen Wan was helped up by those people, and he smiled in the dark, he knew that these self-proclaimed righteous people would not attack those helpless people

.

"Cultivators get out of Xuntang!"

"You are not welcome here!"

"Patriarch Shen has no grievances or enmities with you, why don't you let him go soon?!"

Wu Nong frowned, and said four words from under the mask: "There is no cure."

"Wait..." Qi Ling anticipated what Wu Nong was going to do next, but before he could stop him, Wu Nong had already rushed out.Those people only felt a gust of wind blowing in front of their eyes, followed by the pain of falling, before they could barely react to what happened.

Qi Ling raised his forehead, in the current situation, if those common people didn't see anything, they must be standing by Shen Wan's side.Those people were restrained by Wu Nong temporarily, Qi Ling turned around and entered an alley.

There are many alleys in Xuntang, but he didn't get lost, as if he was familiar with them before.

Qi Ling didn't think much, and found another high ground where Shen Wan and Wu Nong could be seen.

The people were knocked to the ground by Wu Nong's spiritual power. Fortunately, the thick winter clothes did not touch their skin.

Shen Wan didn't expect that Wu Nong actually dared to attack these common people. With his hands tied, he kept struggling on the ground but still couldn't get up.

Wu Nong walked over, grabbed him tightly, and said impatiently, "It's really... troublesome."

After saying that, Shen Wan was thrown into the water.

The water was cold in winter, Shen Wan felt the bone-piercing cold as soon as he entered, the icy water penetrated into the wound on his wrist, and the pain caused him to lose strength and numb his whole body.

Wu Nong watched Shen Wan sink coldly, and said in a low voice, "Cui Yanglan...isn't she coming out yet?"

Shen Wan wanted to say help, so he drank several sips of water in one mouthful.

There was endless darkness under the water. He opened his eyes and saw the lantern on the river. As he descended, the light of the lantern became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared directly.

Shen Wan closed his eyes, and Cui Yanglan's face suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Well……"

Shen Wan suddenly struggled violently underwater.

This is the river where Yang Lan died, he doesn't want to die in the same river as Yang Lan!

Qi Ling watched from a high place, frowned slightly, thinking that if this continues, Shen Wan would really drown in the river.

Wu Nong counted the time and pulled Shen Wan up before he fainted.

Among the common people around were those who had received Shen Wan's favor, they didn't like cultivators in the first place, and they were even more angry at this moment, even though they knew they couldn't beat them, they wanted to go up to protect Shen Wan.

Wu Nong said again that he was overreaching, and tied up those people together and left them aside.

He was a little impatient, turned around and looked at Shen Wan who was drenched and trembling, and said, "What's the relationship between Cui Yanglan and you?"

Shen Wan shook his head and refused to speak.

"Why did you kill him?" Wu Nong continued to ask, "I guess it's because she, like Mrs. Shen, discovered your secret? You pushed him down."

Shen Wan raised his head in horror, his teeth chattering: "No...not..."

The group of people behind them were confused and shouted: "What are you talking about?! What is the relationship between Master Shen and Cui Yanglan? That Miss Cui clearly jumped into the river to die more than ten years ago! Don't you hurry up?" Let us and Patriarch Shen go!"

"And there's another one just now... Where's your accomplice? He's wearing a mask and sneaking around. Those who cultivate immortals really don't have any good things!"

Wu Nong suppressed his anger forcibly, and turned to look at Shen Wan: "Cui Yanglan...did she jump into the river and die?"

Although Shen Wan didn't know what they had found, but hearing Wu Nong's question, he felt that there was still some chance, and hurriedly said: "Yes... yes. She jumped into the river to die by herself, Xianjun, it has nothing to do with me, I just A tea merchant, you arrest people so casually..."

"...Did you jump into the river by yourself?" It was a hoarse female voice. Qi Ling acted cleverly and took out the mysterious fan, which was entangled with black air. The voice echoed in his mind, "Shen Wan...you lied." You are such a villain, for so many years...you have kept me here for so many years...hahahahaha...I want you to die!"

Qi Ling took a few steps back clutching his aching head, the Xuanji fan fell to the ground, and soon the black air on it disappeared.

On the other side, Shen Wan also seemed to have heard this voice, he opened his eyes wide regardless of his image, and shouted: "You are a liar! It is obvious that you committed suicide and jumped into the river yourself! I didn't push you..."

The people looked at him suspiciously.

Does Patriarch Shen really know Miss Cui?Just now...was he talking to Miss Cui?

Qi Ling picked up the Xuanji fan, feeling a little uneasy.Wu Nong raised his eyes, seeing his worried expression, he probably guessed something.

"Shen Wan, if you lie again, no one will be able to protect you." Wu Nong put the wooden sword on Shen Wan's neck with a cold expression.

As soon as the wind blew, Shen Wan was shivering from the cold, and said: "She...she jumped down by herself..."

Wu Nong lifted the wooden sword upwards, and the wooden sword infused with spiritual energy easily cut a hole in Shen Wan's neck.

With an expression on his face, Shen Wan said again: "Miss Cui...she, she likes me!"

The people immediately felt that they had heard something extraordinary.

Wu Nong narrowed his eyes, smiled lightly and said, "Go on."

Shen Wan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I already have Su Wan...why...how could I agree to her!"

"Really?" Wu joked, knelt down and said, "But how did I hear that... Patriarch Shen raised many brothel girls in the secret room? And where did the blood on the ground come from?"

Shen Wan's face turned pale, and he denied it: "I spent money to redeem those... blood... I was afraid that Su Wan would find out, so I temporarily locked them there. Girls who lived in a brothel, I don’t want to live anymore! They hurt themselves!”

"..." Wu Nong stood up and did not speak for a long time.

Qi Ling didn't hear what Shen Wan said, but his intuition told him that it must not be a good word.

Shen Wan didn't know what to do, he didn't know if Wu Nong would believe these words he said with his conscience behind his back.

"Patriarch Shen..." Wu Nong stared at the last lit lantern on the Xuntang River, and said, "Next time you make up a story...you should make it more similar..."

Shen Wan was taken aback for a moment, and a chill gradually crept up his back.

Qi Ling drew out his glazed bow and stared at the black air on the lantern.

The sudden strong wind blew out the last lantern and rolled up the remaining snow on the ground.

Wu Nong's eyes turned red, he turned to look at Shen Wan with a smile and said, "She can't stand listening..."

Shen Wan stared into Wu Nong's eyes, and then saw a cloud of black air rising from behind him, his face turned pale immediately, and he was too frightened to say a word.

Impossible, Yang Lan has so many talisman arrays cast by him, it is impossible to escape!

The smell of tea permeates, enveloping the entire Xuntang.

Qi Ling choked on the strong smell a few times, and drew his bow to aim at the cloud of black air.

Everyone present saw the cloud of black energy, Wu Nong released the group of people, and they fled back immediately, leaving only Wu Nong and Shen Wan.

Wu Nong snorted softly, his heart is unpredictable, he was vowing to protect Shen Wan last second, but now he is in trouble, no one will take care of others.

Shen Wan sat on the ground and couldn't back up, rolled several times on the ground, Wu Nong stabbed the wooden sword into the ground behind him, Shen Wan couldn't retreat, he watched the cloud of black air coming towards him in horror.

Soon, Na saw Cui Yanglan from the black air.

Because she died by drowning, there was no blood on Cui Yanglan's body, but because she was soaked in water for several days before Shen Wan ordered someone to secretly lift up the corpse, Cui Yanglan's whole body was swollen.

Looking at that pale face, Shen Wan cried out in a breakdown: "Don't come here! Don't come here...Yang Lan..."

The glazed bow in Qi Ling's hand trembled slightly along with his body, he shook his head and drew the bow again, but when he saw Cui Yanglan, he couldn't exert all his strength.

"Qi Ling... the Xuanji Fan can kill her too, you undo the suppression on the Xuanji Fan..."

"If you can't do it, we will help you."

"If you don't kill him, Cui Yanglan will run away, and you won't be able to kill him again..."

Qi Ling: "...shut up!"

He retracted the glazed bow and shouted at the dead soul on the mysterious fan: "Shut up!"

"You're afraid of ghosts...it's much useless now than before."

Qi Ling looked at his trembling hands and shouted: "Shut up...don't talk about it..."

Ever since Xuanji Fan was sealed by the glazed bow, it has been a long time since he heard anything about his past.

He had already figured it out, and since he couldn't remember it, he didn't force it.

But these dead souls, as if playing with him, reminded him of the past time and time again.They told him what a great man he was before.Now, how useless it is.

He got the two great artifacts, but because of fear, he couldn't even kill a single ghost.

As if sensing something, Qi Ling raised his head, just in time to see Wu Nong appearing, looking at him quietly with those impenetrable eyes.
