Looking at the three men who almost crawled up to the second floor of the inn, Ye Xuan casually threw the short broadsword in their hands to the ground. Ye Xuan picked up the tea on the table and gently took a sip. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Ye Xuan didn't deal a heavy blow to these men who only held swords and sabers. They looked like Jianghu people but were actually some street ruffians. However, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no smell of blood on them, Ye Xuan wouldn't have let them go so easily.
"Sir, your food is here. Please enjoy!" At this moment, the waiter also served the food that he had prepared. Seeing the broken blade on the ground and the disappearance of the three men at the table next to Ye Xuan, who had been a waiter in the inn for so many years, how could he not know what had happened? Seeing Ye Xuan take care of the three men so easily, there was a hint of awe in his eyes when he looked at Ye Xuan.
"Wait, waiter!" Seeing the waiter put down the food and was about to leave, Ye Xuan suddenly said.
"Sir, is there anything else you need?" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the waiter was startled. He thought that Ye Xuan wanted something else, so he quickly turned around and bowed slightly to look at Ye Xuan.
"No, waiter, I want to ask you something." Ye Xuan shook his head and said.
"Please ask!" The waiter said.
"What happened in your town? Why is it not dark yet, but all the houses are closed and there is no one on the street? "Ye Xuan asked.
"Uh …" Hearing Ye Xuan asking this question. A trace of embarrassment and fear flashed on the waiter's face.
Ye Xuan waved his hand and a silver coin worth two taels appeared on the table.
He looked at the silver coin on the table. The waiter naturally understood what Ye Xuan meant. A trace of struggle flashed across his face. After a short while, he reached out and took the silver in his hand. At this time, he opened his mouth and said, "Sir, did you just arrive in this town today?"
"Well, does it matter?" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"It doesn't matter. It's just that if you came earlier, you would have already known about it." The waiter shook his head gently. Then, he continued, "This matter started more than a month ago. At that time, the town was still an ordinary small town. There was no curfew, and most of the shops on the streets were still open even when it was already seven o 'clock. However, more than a month ago, the town changed. "
"That day, I remember that the sky was clear and boundless. However, when night fell, a large black cloud suddenly floated over from afar. That night, it strangely began to rain heavily. Although it had rained in the town before, the rain had been too strange. As a result, the next day, people died. "
"That night, a total of three people died, and they died very miserably. They were all men in the prime of their lives, and each of them had a large hole dug out of their chests. Their hearts were all gone, and the strangest thing was that not a single drop of blood flowed out of their corpses." As the waiter spoke, a trace of fear appeared on his face. "Since then, there have been murders in this town every night. Sometimes it's one, sometimes it's as many as three. Every one of them died in the same way. Their hearts were all dug out. Everyone said it was the work of demons, causing the whole town to be in a state of panic."
Listening to the waiter's words, Ye Xuan frowned and asked, "What about the government when there were murders? Doesn't the government care about it? "
"That's not it. At first, the government also cared about it, and they also wanted to catch the murderer. However, after the three bailiffs died, the government didn't dare to care anymore. They just told the people not to go out at night through the user group." The waiter shook his head.
"Are the people who died all men?" Ye Xuan continued to ask.
"Yes, I don't know what kind of demon it is. It actually killed so many of us men." The waiter said with a little fear.
"After the government gave the order, did people still die?" Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and asked.
"Sigh, why don't they die? At least one person dies every day. I don't know who will be next." The waiter sighed, as if he thought that one day it would be his turn. He couldn't help but say with an ashen face.
"You little rascal, what nonsense are you talking about? Go and help this customer bring the horse to the backyard to feed it." When the shopkeeper heard the waiter talking to Ye Xuan, he couldn't help but scold him from behind the counter. Then he turned to Ye Xuan and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, customer. This kid is talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, the waiter didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly left to do his work.
Silently watching the waiter leave, Ye Xuan didn't call him again. Instead, he slowly began to eat the meal in front of him.
After eating for a while, Ye Xuan was full. Then the waiter came in and led him to a room in the inn. After washing up, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.
Speaking of which, he didn't know if it was because he was in the Celestial Devil World. Although this era was in the same era as The Smiling, Proud Martial World, the spiritual Qi in the air was four or five times thicker than in The Smiling, Proud Martial World. In The Smiling, Proud Martial World, he needed five days to condense a trace of spiritual power. Here, he only needed one night to condense a trace of spiritual power. Now, in terms of spiritual power, he had a total of 57 points. He was already in the middle stage of Qi cultivation.
Just when Ye Xuan was absorbing and condensing spiritual power in the room, he suddenly felt the spiritual Qi in the air. The originally calm spiritual Qi seemed to have a slight fluctuation. It was as if Ye Xuan was originally sitting on the side of a lake, and suddenly a big stone was thrown into the lake, causing a huge ripple to spread. The ripple shook to the side of Ye Xuan, causing the spiritual Qi around Ye Xuan to vibrate and become difficult to condense.
Ye Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating with his eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened his eyes. It was as if a golden bolt of lightning had swept across the dark room. With a shift of his mind, an enormous amount of Mind Energy gushed out from between his eyebrows like a flood. In an instant, everything within a radius of nearly a kilometer appeared in his eyes.
Ever since condensing the golden "spirit", Ye Xuan found that although his spiritual power did not increase, it was at least ten times stronger than before. For example, with his previous spiritual power, the largest range was about a hundred meters, but now he could easily cover a radius of a thousand meters.
Under the coverage of his spiritual power, nothing within a thousand meters had nowhere to hide. Suddenly, in his spiritual power, he saw in an alley about eight hundred meters away, a strong man was walking forward with a sluggish expression. In front of him was a monster wrapped in black fog.
Hmph!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan snorted coldly. With a wave of his right hand, the window of the room opened silently. Then, Ye Xuan's figure flashed quickly on the roof like a ghost, heading towards the alley.
In the alley, the monster wrapped in black fog looked at the man in front of it with a sluggish expression. Two green lights flashed in the black fog, and then a huge claw covered in green scales the size of copper coins reached out from the black fog, grabbing towards the chest of the strong man.
"Monster, why aren't you stopping?!"
