Chapter 237 Caught
Miaozhen:......

Everyone in the formation felt a shake in front of their eyes and they were overjoyed. Without Zhu Zixun saying anything, Hu Jing and the other guards attacked towards the place where Zhu Zixun had just attacked.

Everyone heard a click, and there was another shake in front of their eyes. Then, the bumpy road reappeared in front of them, and the shadows of trees emerged on both sides. Under the trees were the familiar graves and bones.

Everyone knew that they had escaped from the maze.

Zhu Zixun burst into laughter.

To their surprise, the thick fog was slowly thinning, the road ahead appeared vaguely before their eyes, and visibility was getting higher and higher.

Zhu Zixun turned back to look for the convoy, only to see that it was wrapped in a thick fog. They could not see the people at all, and there were constant screams inside.

Everyone's faces changed. Zhu Zixun and Hu Jing looked at each other and immediately wanted to go up to rescue people. Miao Zhen immediately stopped them and said solemnly: "Didn't you notice that all the fog is surging here? These are all Yin resentments."

"This is the revenge of the evil spirits. Someone has provoked them to be violent. Didn't you hear the crying and laughing coming from inside? They will make you hallucinate and confuse your mind..."

Zhu Zixun sneered and pushed her away, saying, "If you are afraid, you don't have to come in. I take money from others and help them get rid of disasters. Since I have taken Song Bei's money, I must help him solve his problems. I am not a Taoist priest from Mount Longhu who only thinks about protecting himself when encountering problems."

Miao Zhen: "...Hero Zhu, you are a martial arts expert. If you go in and get bewitched, it will not be a help to them, but a disaster. There are few people inside who can match you."

Hu Jing also saw the guards swinging swords at each other and killing each other in the thick fog, and immediately said, "Master Zhu, Taoist Sishui is right. Perhaps we should solve it from the outside."

"How to solve it? These resentful energies are visible but intangible, and attacks can't reach them at all..." Zhu Zixun paused here, turned his head and looked at Miao Zhen, squinting his eyes: "You are a Taoist priest, don't you know how to perform rituals? Maybe you can perform a ritual to help them transcend?"

Miaozhen: ...If she could liberate them, would she still have to endure his anger?

Miao Zhen said directly: "I am not capable enough. I hope you can find someone else who is more capable."

Zhu Zixun: "What's the purpose of Song Bei inviting you here?"

Miao Zhen: "I am useless, but my junior uncle is useful. Unfortunately, she was injured before she could make a move. Even if she has the strength, she can't use her full strength now."

Zhu Zixun was extremely angry.

Hu Jing had a headache and quickly stood between the two men to persuade them, fearing that Zhu Zixun would attack him in anger.

It is obvious that the supernatural things they are encountering now need to be solved by Pan Yun and his two nephews.

It is not the right choice to anger Pan Yun and make enemies with her at this time.

Zhu Zixun obviously knew this, and although he was angry, he did not take action.

He glanced at the thick fog and gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go find Song Bei and San Zhu first and let San Zhu resolve this resentful energy."

After saying that, he turned around and went to look for someone.

As he walked, Zhu Zixun seemed to sense something, so he stopped and shouted, "Su Ying!"

Su Ying, who was wandering around in the maze, trying to find a flaw, heard voices coming from all directions and raised his head suddenly, "Zhu, hero!"

The maze can only confuse people's five senses, but cannot completely isolate the sound, so Su Ying and Zhu Zixun could hear each other's voices.

Song Bei, who was being chased by Pan Yun in the next maze, also heard it and immediately shouted, "Master Zhu, save me! Sanzhu wants to kill me!"

As soon as Song Bei's voice sounded, Miao Zhen immediately stepped back. Hu Jing reacted the fastest and turned around to grab her.

A Tang Dynasty sword suddenly appeared in Miao Zhen's hand, and she chopped fiercely at the hand that was grabbing her. Hu Jing instantly withdrew his hand, drew out the sword, and attacked her.

Miaozhen used his Qinggong skills to escape quickly while fighting back.

Zhu Zixun shouted, "Su Ying, capture Wuhuo and force her to lead you out of the battle. We have fallen into a trap. This is not a ghost wall, but a maze set by these three stinky Taoist priests!"

When Miao Zhen heard Zhu Zixun's words, he fought with Hu Jing while shouting, "Five Fires, Qian three, Xun five, Kan two, retreat quickly!"

In the maze, Su Ying and Miao He heard their voices and looked up at each other at the same time.

Miaohe's eyes were wide open, and her chubby face was full of innocence, so much so that Su Ying couldn't bring herself to do it for a moment.

They were both silent for a moment, and then Su Ying asked, "Little Taoist priest, can you lead me out of the maze?"

Miao He thought about the situation outside, sniffed and said, "No, we can't let you guys get together. Why don't we stay in the maze and wait until they're done fighting before going out?"

Su Ying sighed and said, "Then I'm sorry."

Before he finished his words, he formed his fingers into claws and grabbed directly.

Miaohe's legs moved backwards like he was fighting, returning to the starting point.

Su Ying was surprised that this seemingly flustered Qinggong actually avoided him.

Su Ying did not hold back and quickly grabbed it. Miao He immediately took three steps to Qian as soon as he returned to his original position, then quickly turned to Xun, took five steps in a row and walked to Kan...

Su Ying made several moves, but every time when the attack was about to hit her, she turned around and avoided it. Before she could be surprised, Su Ying increased her speed, and Miao He also took two steps back and disappeared in front of Su Ying in an instant.

Suddenly, he was the only one left in the maze.

Su Ying: ...

Miaohe quickly escaped from the maze. When the guards with Zhu Zixun saw her, they immediately chased after her to catch her.

Miaohe stood still, and when they came to her, she said, "I'm sorry."

With a wave of his hand, a handful of yellow-brown powder flew towards them. The guards could not hold their breath anymore. Their eyes widened, their noses began to bleed, and their bodies fell limply.

Zhu Zixun, who had already followed the sound to find Song Bei's direction, was wandering around there, trying to rescue someone from the maze. When he saw Miaohe suddenly appear and poison a group of guards, he immediately held his breath and rushed towards her quickly.

When Miaohe saw him, he turned around and ran away.

While Miao Zhen was fighting back against Hu Jing, she took the time to look around and shouted, “Go to where there are the most bones, they won’t hurt you!”

Miaohe used his Qinggong skills and ran towards the pile of bones in the woods without looking back.

Zhu Zixun has already made up his mind to catch one to threaten Sanzhu. This fat Taoist priest is obviously the worst in martial arts, so who else should he catch if not her?

With a "puff", Hu Jing slashed Miaozhen's shoulder with his knife, and with force of his hand, he pushed her to the ground from mid-air.

Miao Zhen gritted her teeth and said nothing, using the sword in her hand to block the downward force of the sword.

Hu Jing looked at her and sneered. He pressed his palm downwards, and the blade went two inches deeper. "Little Taoist priest, I advise you to put the knife down now. I can spare you this time. Otherwise, if I cut you with this knife, you won't be able to have this arm anymore."

Miao Zhen said nothing, the energy in her dantian rushed out violently and gathered on her palms and sword. She seemed to have gained endless power, and she held the sword horizontally against the Shangren Sword and lifted it up little by little.

Hu Jing was surprised, then frowned and said, "I finally understand why Zhu Zixun hates the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain so much. You cultivate Yuanli, not Neili?"

Yuanli has a crushing sense of superiority over internal force, which makes Hu Jing very annoyed.

A cold light flashed in his eyes and his internal force burst out. Just as he was about to press down to remove Miao Zhen's arm, there was suddenly a loud bang and a sound of breaking air came from behind.

Without turning his head or retracting his strength, he pressed the blade downwards, turned around on the spot, and instantly appeared behind Miao Zhen, letting her stand in front of him.

Pan Jun broke out of the formation holding Song Bei hostage, her eyes sharp. A flying knife came flying quickly, and was about to pierce Miao Zhen's chest. She waved her hand, and the flying knife deviated, brushing against Miao Zhen and Hu Jing's faces and hitting the ground with a clang.

She threw the knife in order to stop Hu Jing. She also expected that Hu Jing would dodge and might hurt Miao Zhen. Therefore, a trace of her energy and consciousness was attached to it so that she could change its route if she found something wrong.

As soon as the knife stuck into the ground, Miao Zhen smashed his head back hard, directly hitting Hu Jing's face. At the same time, he used the knife in his hand to fight back hard, and instantly broke free from Hu Jing's hold and instantly opened up a distance of seven or eight meters.

Hu Jing wanted to move forward, but Pan Yun pressed his sword against Song Bei's neck and said, "Hu Jing, if you dare to do that again, I will chop off one of his arms."

Hu Jing couldn't help but pause.

Miao Zhen immediately ran back to Pan Yun and was about to report that Miao He and his men had run into the woods when she heard Zhu Zixun shout, "You dare! I'll kill her!"

Zhu Zixun flew out of the woods carrying Miaohe, whose face was bruised and swollen.

As soon as the two sides met, Miao He burst into tears, "Little Master, I was caught. Those evil spirits have eaten my blood and don't care about me at all!"

Pan Jun grabbed Song Bei's hand with force, his face as cold as ice, "Zhu Zixun, you are shameless, hitting a child like this."

Zhu Zixun said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, release the boss and get rid of Su Ying's maze, otherwise, I will kill her."

Pan Yun moved her sword, slightly stabbing Song Bei's neck, a trace of blood seeping out, she sneered: "We can give it a try and see whose hand is faster and who will die first."

Zhu Zixun looked behind her and saw seven people lying on the ground in a mess. Ah Xin struggled to get up from the ground, but he could only get up for a while. Except for him and the other man in green, everyone else was dead.

The blood and energy soon attracted vengeful spirits, and the fog on this road was dissipating quickly.

Sure enough, human blood could make them retreat satisfied. If their appetite had not grown and they needed more and more lives, Song Bei would not have thought of asking Pan Yun and the others to join the team.

Seeing that Pan Yun killed people without mercy, Zhu Zixun knew that she was not joking.

but……

The corner of his mouth curled up, and he pinched Miaohe's neck and said, "One life for another, it seems that your nephew is not that important to you."

"As a retainer, you should put the host first," Pan Yun said, "Song Bei, you have raised him for so many years, but he still has the most personal grudge against you. I don't believe this is Zhu Zixun's character. He knows that those who are not of our race must have different hearts. It seems that he is also wary of you."

Song Bei's expression changed several times, and he couldn't help but look at Zhu Zixun.

　There will be more at night
