Chapter 320: The Captive Evil Corpse

After parting with the Little Inspector, he turned back from Lingzhou toward Qingzhou; not long after walking, he encountered an evil corpse in the mountain forest around the official road.

You must know, before the Wandering Immortal Assembly, he had wandered in Qingzhou for several months; although he could not say he was familiar with the terrain here, he could confirm that there were no ruins nearby.

Therefore, this was another evil seed that was not restricted by the distance of the ruins.

Just like the evil seed that appeared when Yuan Caiwei went missing during the New Year, it was also very similar to those evil seeds he encountered in Zhongzhou after leaving the Sages' Holy Land.

But logically speaking, as early as two years ago, these evil corpses should have all been slaughtered.

Ji You stepped and shattered the mountain rock, then raised his sword on the cliff wall; the three-foot green blade trembled violently.

However, this was not the main point.

The point was that this evil seed had other differences.

Because as the evil seed ran wildly in the mountain stream, a clanking sound kept ringing out.

At this time, a purple lightning bolt in the rainy night suddenly streaked across the gloomy sky.

Amidst the rumbling thunder, the world brightened for an instant, illuminating the evil seed running in the mountain stream.

Its wrists and ankles were all wearing shackles, so that during the running, they collided with each other, clattering loudly.

The shackles on its wrists were cast from a whole piece of pure iron, leaving it no room to bare its fangs and brandish its claws, while the shackles on its ankles carried chains, three feet long, leaving it room to take steps.

And the other end was also dragging two iron balls, using gravity to slow down its speed of movement.

In other words, this evil seed was being raised by someone...

Whether it was the time Yuan Caiwei went missing or the time he came out of the Sages' Holy Land, the large-scale riots of evil seeds all had the suspicion of being artificially controlled.

In fact, this was also the reason why Ji You felt that the ruins were definitely a disaster and not an immortal fate.

It is a pity that the evil seed itself is the shell left behind after the relic race dies; it cannot speak, cannot talk, and cannot provide any effective information.

But at this time, the shackles on its wrists and ankles were a kind of effective information.

Under the rain, amidst the steaming white fog, Ji You narrowed his eyes slightly and followed the evil seed toward the mountain stream.

The rainwater flowed down the hillside, gathering into a stream in the low-lying area, murmuring toward the east.

During the journey, water splashes kept flying everywhere.

Gradually, Ji You found that he was being led over a low mountain, and then entered a downhill slope.

At the foot of the low mountain, in a quiet valley bottom with lush dense forest, he saw a small courtyard; it was a not-so-small courtyard, surrounded by high walls on all four sides, with three houses in the middle.

Secret and quiet, there was nothing else around except vegetation.

"Will someone live in this kind of place?"

"Not close to a village, not close to a shop, and there is only one household..."

Ji You slowed his pace, looked from the hillside, and saw the evil seed rushing toward a black iron gate that was open in the high wall.

At this time, the raindrops hitting the leaves were shaking incessantly, and the fluff on his clothing also began to straighten constantly.

Seeing this phenomenon, Ji You held his breath and concentrated, his hot spirit energy permeating his body, magnifying his five senses.

While listening, the initial sound was only the constant falling rain, colliding with the leaves in the forest, making a rustling sound.

And as his five senses were concentrated, a buzzing sound gradually began to appear in his mind; immediately afterward, the buzzing sound turned into a series of whistles, and the source of the whistle came from that small courtyard.

This is a high-frequency vibration far beyond the range of human hearing, causing resonance between raindrops and fluff.

It looks like this sound should be what attracted the evil seed back to the small courtyard.

Seeing the evil seed running without recognizing its own kin, Ji You restrained his aura, leaped into the air from the position just now, and landed on the opposite hillside backed by the small courtyard, his eyes beginning to flash with golden light.

The position just now had a high wall blocking it, so he could not see inside the courtyard.

Magnifying the five senses is not X-ray vision; otherwise, for a young man, this world would be incredibly harmful to the body.

Ji You stood under the gloomy rainy night, looking into the courtyard, and saw one woman and two men standing in the courtyard.

The woman was wearing coarse hemp clothes, holding a silver whistle in her hand, blowing air constantly.

Clatter.

The evil seed followed the whistle and rushed through the gate, the heavy iron ball it was dragging smashing a deep pit into the rammed earth wall.

Seeing this, the two men following behind the woman immediately followed; the two worked together to grab the iron chain behind it, and while their muscles were tense, they held the evil seed, then dragged it to the east wall root.

At the east wall root, there were protruding black iron rings on the ground, looking incredibly thick; the evil seed that ran back was locked onto that iron ring.

And like this iron ring, there were three more next to it, two of which already had evil seeds tied to them, and three iron rings had already broken.

The three people saw this and walked over, squatting in front of the evil seed, staring quietly for a long time.

"It broke free again; I don't know where it ran to this time. Yue Niang, if this continues, something will happen."

"I will go to the blacksmith shop and forge a few thicker ones..."

Seemingly provoked by the human spirit, the locked evil seed began to constantly bare its fangs and brandish its claws; the heavy force pulled the iron chain clattering, and sparks flew everywhere at the interlocking point.

But the woman did not seem terrified, just looking at the evil seed and could not help but bite her thin lips lightly.

Just at this time, she suddenly found the two men beside her standing up, and the sound of weapons being drawn instantly rang out.

"Uncle Tan!"

"Da Peng!"

"Hao Zi!"

"Miss Ling Qing!"

"..."

Following the sudden roar of the two men, the woman heard a hurried sound of a door opening, and the six people who came with them all rushed out of the room, and she also stood up with a start.

Looking back, the woman saw a white-clothed figure landing in their courtyard amidst the falling rain, looking at them with sharp eyes.

In fact, when she realized the courtyard was exposed, the woman had already tensed her nerves in this tense atmosphere, but when she saw his young face, that tense emotion instantly relaxed a lot.

Because she had heard from the people traveling with her that cultivation takes time, and a young man is unlikely to be very powerful.

They had been avoiding the old guys all the way, and until now, they had been safe and sound.

But soon, a trace of terror rose in the woman's eyes.

Because she found that the rain falling on the man's head basically could not fall; it was scalded into bursts of white fog on his shoulders, and at the same time, the ground under his feet was gradually becoming dry, looking particularly eye-catching against the surrounding mud.

Others were also watching this scene, beginning to tremble all over, their faces becoming extremely ugly.

"One Realm of Profound Understanding, three Realm of Dim Illumination, three Realm of Body Refinement..."

"And one who doesn't even have cultivation..."

In the rain, a trace of doubt flashed in Ji You's eyes, feeling that this was completely different from what he thought.

In his view, if someone was really raising evil seeds behind the scenes, then there must be a plot; otherwise, why would anyone raise these ghost things.

But a Realm of Profound Understanding leading a group of Lower Three Realms, plus a woman who had no strength to truss a chicken, what kind of plot could such people have.

While thinking, Ji You's gaze fell on the woman blowing the whistle, and she was also the only one among them who had no cultivation.

For some reason, Ji You felt a kind of familiarity from her face, a very distant familiarity.

After looking for a long time, Ji You stared at the beauty mark on the corner of her mouth: "Huang Yue Niang from Hongya County, Zhongzhou?"

Having her name called out, the woman opened her eyes in disbelief: "The Young Master recognizes me..."

"It really is you..."

"Have we met before?"

"I received your notice in the Sages' Garden."

A brilliance appeared in Ji You's hand, and a neatly folded cloth scroll appeared in his hand.

The scroll unfolded, with twelve portraits drawn on it, and their identities and names marked below respectively, and the signature at the bottom corner of the cloth scroll was the eight characters "Huang Yue Niang from Hongya County, Zhongzhou."

This was something he received during the Heavenly Dao Assembly.

At that time, the finals ended, and Ji You won five matches in a row to take the top spot in the Realm of Profound Understanding.

The Lu sisters played host and wanted to celebrate for him at the tavern; returning from the meal that night, he and Yuan Caiwei returned together, and on the way, he encountered a woman with a mole under the right corner of her mouth, who hurriedly stuffed a paper scroll to him.

He had received many letters asking to be Dao companions at that time and thought this one was the same, so he did not pay attention.

But when he went to the Sages' Holy Land the next day, he discovered that it was a missing person notice.

Cao Jingsong told him that there were many outsiders during the Heavenly Dao Assembly who claimed that their family members were lost and came here to ask if anyone had seen them, and this Huang Yue Niang was one of them.

She was looking for a man named Li Ruilin from the Li family, and she was an outside concubine raised by Li Ruilin outside the house.

Huang Yue Niang was born in the countryside and had no cultivation, so even though Li Ruilin was only an insignificant disciple of a branch, she still did not reach the status of his concubine.

In fact, Huang Yue Niang had already forgotten Ji You because she had stuffed the notice to many people at that time.

However, although she did not recognize the person, she was very familiar with her own notice.

Huang Yue Niang was stunned for a long time, her eyes could not help but blink lightly: "It has been two years, Young Master, why do you still carry it on you..."

Ji You looked at her quietly: "This thing doesn't take up space, so I thought if I could see the people on it later, I would help you inform them that you are looking for him."

Hearing this, Huang Yue Niang was somewhat surprised.

She had been looking for her husband for two years and had issued countless notices, basically all of which were thrown away after being glanced at twice by others.

She would pick them up, shake them clean, and go to ask the next person, but this was the first time she heard such an answer.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your righteousness..."

"No need to thank me; tell me, you were clearly looking for someone, why are you raising evil corpses here at this time?" ===== CHAPTER 321 =====
