At this time, Minghe finally had some free time. He flew to Zhangjiakou with his conveying light. The Qiao family was also one of the largest families in Zhangjiakou. Their courtyard and manor occupied hundreds of square kilometers of land. They built their manor like a fort, with walls that were about ten feet high, arrow towers, high platforms, and narrow windows. The walls were all built with rocks and fine bricks.
There were servants and guards in the manor. There were about two thousand people in the family, and there were hundreds of strong warriors who could use weapons. The manor had wells, secret passages, granaries, and hiding places. They would not be afraid even if tens of thousands of bandits surrounded them.
He usually closed the manor doors and became his own world. Even the laws of the country were not as important as the family's laws. The surrounding peasant families who rented his fields usually lived on the ground. Only when the roving bandits captured them from the north would they live together in the manor. The rules of the Qiao Family were strict. That was why when Qiao Si stirred up a storm of blood and turned the manor into hell, no one felt anything was wrong except for the Qiao Family members outside and their business friends.
There was still some distance between the Qiao Clan's fort and the commercial port. Chen Ang descended from the conveyance light on the nearby commercial road. From afar, he could see the resentment on the top of the village soaring into the sky. A gust of demonic black gas rose to a height of more than five hundred feet. The cultivators nearby could see it even from a few miles away.
With such a thick demonic Qi, only a hundred of the two thousand people in the manor were left. Qiao Si had sacrificed so many people to the white bone statue. He had probably cultivated into a Yin Demon and turned the people in the manor into demonic corpses for him to control. These demonic corpses were controlled by the Heavenly Demon in the white bone statue. Chen Ang had not taken them back because he had other plans.
River Styx had a tender face and looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old youth. He was dressed in black and stood by the side of the road, looking in the direction of the Qiao Family. He blinked. Two figures walked over from the official road that he was on. They seemed to be a grandfather and a grandson. A sixteen year old girl supported an old man as they walked over from the opposite side. They seemed to be surprised to see River Styx.
River Styx's gaze swept past them. He was not bothered at all as he continued to sense the many demons and refined corpses in the fort.
It was not the first or second day that something had happened to the Qiao family. It was normal for cultivators to come and investigate. Although the spiritual power of the grandfather and granddaughter was not shallow, it was not enough to be taken seriously by Chen Ang.
The old man found a high ground not far from the River Styx. He formed a spell with his right hand and gathered Qi in his eyes. He observed the situation of the Qiao Family's fort from afar. The more he observed, the heavier his expression became. His left hand couldn't help but grab the girl next to him tightly. He took a deep breath and said, "Jia Er, the demonic aura here is far beyond this old man's expectation. I look over there, the black aura above is about a hundred feet tall, and it's as thick as a person's arms."
"Only the thousand-year-old iron corpse that I met when I was young can compare to this kind of murderous aura and resentment. Moreover, the color is mixed but not messy, and the smell is fishy but not smelly. Even at noon, the murderous aura is only reduced but not exhausted. You can imagine how troublesome the hidden monster is!"
The girl heard this and became even more worried. She said uneasily, "Grandfather! If that's the case, you can invite others to eliminate this monster together. You must not take the risk alone. "
She observed the River Styx from afar for a moment. Although she could not see anything with her Dharma Eyes, she still felt that the River Styx should be a fellow cultivator. She came up and said, "Fellow cultivator, I'm the daughter of the Luo family in Qinghe County. I'm passing by with my grandfather, Zhenren Luo. I also saw the murderous aura in the fort and felt a little uneasy. It's a pleasure to meet you. The monster hidden in the fort is not a trivial matter. I wonder if you are willing to take care of us?"
River Styx smiled and cupped his hands, "Of course!" He invited the two of them to sit down at a tea stall and explained, "I know some of this family's background. They are also a big family in Zhang Jiakou. Their surname is Qiao, and they do business. Their family secretly had an affair with the Northern Frontier Jiannu and earned a lot of family property. Recently, I heard that they provoked an enemy, so they closed their doors. I didn't expect such a disaster to happen. "
Zhenren Luo did not know about this. He pondered for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Then do you know the background of his enemy?"
Chen Ang shook his head and said, "I don't know about this."
As they were talking, a group of knights suddenly passed by on the road. The one in the lead was none other than Wang Ming, Swordsman Wang Ang, whom Chen Ang had personally trained for several years. He was still as handsome as ever, but the frivolous air he had in the past had been washed away by time. Now, he had a calm air about him, and no one would associate him with the foppish playboy from Xixia Temple.
Now he had cultivated Bai Yang Zhenren's orthodoxy to the realm of Imperial Sword Hundred Steps. The Crane Feather Sword was wrapped around his waist, and he rode on a clawed yellow lightning. There were also two Yellow Worms hidden in his nostrils. He could summon them with a snort and use them to protect himself. Normal magic flying swords could not get close to him. If he summoned them to harm people, he would only need a breath's time before a stream of Yellow Qi would automatically fly out to kill the enemy.
This kind of magic power was not inferior to normal unorthodox sects. In the past, Mao Tai practiced a flying sword for twenty years, but it was not much. Many of the unorthodox sects that Chen Ang killed overseas were defeated by him in a fight of magic power.
This time, the great enemy that the Qiao family had attracted was precisely this person. Ever since Wang Ming had been enlightened by Chen Ang, he had deeply realized his own ignorance and shallowness. He had realized the truth of devoting his limited life to serving Emperor Tianqi limitlessly. For the sake of Chen Ang's little obsession, he had worked conscientiously and diligently on the righteous path of fighting against the Tatars and suppressing the bandits.
The Qiao family was the leader of the large sects in the northwest of Jin. In recent years, both sides had fought several times, resulting in countless casualties. With a master like Wang Ming holding the line, the Jin merchants had suffered great losses several times. The rations that were being transported to the Jian Nu Camp were robbed several times by Wang Ming and his men.
With such a deadly hatred, if it were not for the Qiao family's disciples practicing martial arts in the nearby sects, the Qiao family's connections with the nearby Jianghu, they would have been killed by Wang Ming and his men long ago! But even so, the pressure on the Qiao family increased. As Wang Ming's magic power continued to improve and his methods became more and more superb, the situation became more and more dangerous.
Later, the Qiao family sent people overseas to recruit talented people and colluded with the demons of the Black Sand Island. However, the backer they relied on was mistakenly killed by Chen Ang in the Mermaid Sea Kingdom, which was a bad omen. The Qiao family received an ultimatum from Wang Ming, which was why they panicked and ran into the hands of River Styx, the devil.
Chen Ang could not get away from all these, and it was also a sin.
When he arrived at the Qiao family's fortress, Wang Ming had some magic power and could see that something was wrong. But after all, he was inexperienced and could not see that there were not many living auras in the Qiao family's fortress. He only thought that the Qiao family had hired people to deal with him. To some extent, his guess was not wrong. It was just that he did not expect that the Qiao family would be bewitched by some devil and turn their whole family into devil corpses.
