At night, Duan Yuhuan suddenly came to Chen Xuanzang's tent and said softly, "Mr. Chen, we made a few side dishes. Would you like to join us?"
Chen Xuanzang was stunned when he saw Duan Yuhuan appear beside him. Then, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Duan. However, I've already eaten with my master and the others."
… …
After a while, Duan Yuhuan walked over and leaned against the side of the tent. "Mr. Chen, the moon is so round tonight. Would you like to take a walk with me?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Duan. I'm a little tired today. I'd like to rest." Chen Xuanzang rejected her heartlessly.
… …
"Mr. Chen, this is the porridge I just cooked this morning. Have a bowl!"
… …
"Mr. Chen, this is the wild rabbit I just roasted. Here, this rabbit leg is for you!"
… …
"Mr. Chen …"
… …
After the three of them settled down, Ye Xuan noticed that Duan Yuhuan started to attack Chen Xuanzang fiercely. From eating to admiring the moon, Duan Yuhuan would often find opportunities to provoke Chen Xuanzang. In the beginning, Chen Xuanzang rejected her coldly. Later on, he would eat Duan Yuhuan's porridge and roasted wild rabbit. He even went for a walk with him in the forest last night.
"As expected, a man chasing a woman is separated by mountains. A woman chasing a man is separated by layers of muslin! The ancients did not lie to me! "Seeing this change, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, Ye Xuan didn't stop them. Once, he even asked Chen Xuanzang to accompany Duan Yuhuan to walk around the streets for half a day with the excuse of gathering information.
Of course, apart from fooling around, Duan Yuhuan didn't forget about proper business. After two days, she sent a few of her subordinates out to gather information. Finally, they found Zhu Ganglie's location.
"I suspect that the Pig Demon is here!" Duan Yuhuan said as she pointed at a similar place on the map that was still in the war chariot.
"What is this place?" Ye Xuan looked at the place Duan Yuhuan was pointing at.
"Master, I know this place!" When he heard Ye Xuan's question, Chen Xuanzang, who was at the side, suddenly said, "This place is called the Single Line Valley. It's a small path that leads from Qing 'an Town to the Southern Manor. Because of the steep terrain of one of the mountains, there are two mountain peaks sandwiched between each other. If one were to look at the sky from the valley, one would only see a single line."
Chen Xuanzang spoke with fervor and assurance. Duan Yuhuan didn't get angry at Chen Xuanzang for interrupting her. Instead, she looked at Chen Xuanzang with a smile.
Looking at Chen Xuanzang, who was speaking with fervor and assurance, and at Duan Yuhuan's expression, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrow. A strange look flashed in his eyes. Then looking at Duan Yuhuan, he said, "How did you know the pig monster is here?"
"I'll have to start from my previous search!" Duan Yuhuan took over the conversation and looked at Ye Xuan. "A month ago, I ordered my men to collect information on the people who entered this mountain range. In the end, all the targets pointed to this place. According to the information we obtained, many people who were rushing from Qing 'an Town to the Southern Manor went missing in the Single Line Valley. Yesterday, we obtained another piece of information. The Shanxi Duo originally passed through the Single Line Valley and wanted to go to the Southern Manor to settle some matters. However, they haven't been seen for two days. Some people suspect that they are dead. I suspect that their deaths are related to the pig demon. "
"Suspect?" Ye Xuan frowned.
"That's right. It's just a suspicion because no one has seen the pig demon. Those who have seen him are all dead!" Duan Yuhuan nodded.
"Alright. Let's go and check it out. Let's see if the Pig Demon is really there! "Ye Xuan said, nodding.
Although the original plot didn't point out Zhu Ganglie's location, the Shanxi Duo Heroes had appeared in the original plot. Therefore, Ye Xuan was sure that Zhu Ganglie was in the Single Line Valley.
The few of them discussed for a while and finally decided that only Ye Xuan, Duan Yuhuan, and Chen Xuanzang would go. The rest of the people, including the fish demon, would stay behind and wait for them. After all, Duan Yuhuan's subordinates were quite weak. Moreover, the fish demon's strength on land had been greatly reduced. Letting them deal with a great demon like Zhu Ganglie would simply be adding to the trouble.
The three of them tidied up a little and then headed towards the Single Line Valley.
Ye Xuan and Chen Xuanzang were Xiantian Realm warriors. So, it was naturally not a problem for them to hurry. Although Duan Yuhuan didn't know any martial arts or movement techniques, she had magic power and True Essence. However, Ye Xuan specially gave her a Divine Traversing Talisman since she had mana and True Aether. As a result, she was barely able to keep up with the two of them. The three of them hurried for nearly four hours and finally arrived at the Single Line Valley.
When they arrived at the Single Line Valley, Ye Xuan sized up the place. Sure enough, the valley was just like its name. On the left and right sides of the valley were cliffs that were several hundred zhang high. The rocks on the cliffs were bare and exposed. There wasn't even a single weed growing on them. It was like two iron mirrors. And at the bottom of the valley, there were some short and lush plants growing. When one stood at the bottom of the Single Line Valley and looked up at the sky, they would only be able to see a thin white line. It was quite a magnificent sight.
The three of them walked through the Single Line Valley. After walking for several hundred meters, Chen Xuanzang suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Master, look!"
Following the direction that Chen Xuanzang pointed, Ye Xuan and Duan Yuhuan looked in that direction. They saw an inn suddenly appear on a cliff not far away from them.
This inn was different from ordinary inns. It seemed to have been remodeled from a stone cave. The entrance was three meters wide and five meters tall. It looked very grand. And on top of the entrance, there was a horizontal board that was engraved with three large words: Gao Jia Village!
"It should be here. I can already smell the Demonic Qi coming from inside!" Duan Yuhuan sniffled and said with a face full of certainty.
At the side, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows. Just now, he had wanted to use his divine sense to observe the situation inside. He didn't expect that he would be blocked by a dense Demonic Qi.
"Come, let's go in and take a look!" The corners of Ye Xuan's mouth curled into a cold smile. Then, he strode towards the entrance of the inn.
"Yiya! — — "
The thick and heavy door was pushed open, emitting a strange and long sound of it opening.
The door opened, revealing the layout of the inn. The inn was about four to five hundred square meters in size. Apart from the rows of low tables on the ground, there was only a pile of empty wine jars piled high together. It was clear that the place was very spacious.
Spacious?!!!
Looking at the seemingly empty tables and floor in the inn, Ye Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a golden light …
