Bold Witch, Don’T Hurt My Husband

Chapter 41: Mysterious Atmosphere

"Sir, do you know what happened in Huangning Village?"

"Madam, what's been happening here lately?"

Since they had arrived at their destination, the group naturally couldn't just sit idle. It was necessary to conduct some investigations.

Although most people remained tight-lipped about the matter, there were always exceptions. Some were fearless, while others were willing to be bribed. In any case, there were many ways to get people to talk.

At this moment, Xia Fan and Zhong Yue were in a farmhouse, asking an old lady for information.

"Children, you should leave quickly. I'm old and can't move anymore. You're still young, so you can still make it out in time. A few young Taoist priests came here at the beginning, but they all ended up dead on the streets. Listen to this old lady's advice and leave this ominous place as soon as possible!"

Seeing the elderly person with white hair earnestly advising them, the two of them felt quite uneasy. According to their understanding, this used to be a family of four, with a son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Now, only this old lady remained.

In just half a year, a family had disappeared like this, which was truly lamentable.

"Madam, are you saying that this incident started in Huangning Village? Has no one gone to investigate?" Xia Fan asked.

"They have, of course. But those who went either never came back or came back insane, only to die soon after. Huangning Village is a place cursed by vengeful spirits!" The old lady's eyes were filled with fear as she trembled while speaking.

Seeing this, the two of them exchanged glances. Xia Fan couldn't help but speculate, but they needed to discuss it.

Soon, the two of them returned to the inn. When they saw them return, Wang Lian couldn't help but ask, "What did you find out?"

"We asked several people, and they all said that the vengeful spirits came from Huangning Village. Moreover, the cause of death for the victims varies. Some had their internal organs emptied, some died from poisoning with a pale face, and there were even cases where the bodies disappeared, and the people went missing!" Xia Fan briefly explained the information they had gathered.

Hearing this, Wang Lian and Ding Peng exchanged glances and said, "It's similar here. It seems necessary to go and take a look at Huangning Village!"

"If it's really a demonic presence, we'll kill it if we can. If we can't defeat it, we'll quickly leave and report to the elders of our sect!"

"At midnight tonight, let's go to Huangning Village together and investigate!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Fan quickly interrupted Ding Peng, "Senior Brother Ding, that's not appropriate!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them immediately turned their gaze towards him.

"I don't think going at night is a wise choice. If it really is an evil presence, we'll have a better chance during the day. As for whether it's a demon, it doesn't matter if it's day or night. Why go at night?"

"Also, I asked several people, and they all mentioned something. I don't know if you noticed."

"What did they say?" Zhong Yue asked, tilting her head.

Upon hearing this, Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh, "They said that when strange things first started happening, a few young people who looked like Taoist priests came, but they died!"

"What does that prove? There are plenty of people pretending to be Taoist priests to scam money. Some even dare to come out and scam people with only Qi cultivation. They deserve to die!" Ding Peng said in a muffled voice.

While what he said was true, Xia Fan didn't agree. "But what if they were disciples of the Dao Sect?"

After saying this, everyone fell silent, and Xia Fan continued.

"There are indeed impostors pretending to be Taoist priests, but it seems that there aren't many young people among them. Since they mentioned being young and there are several of them, I have reason to suspect that they are disciples of the Dao Sect. There shouldn't be only our family coming to Yingzhou!"

"It is indeed possible. Although the sects do not unite, disciples do leave the mountains and come here, so it is understandable!" Zhong Yue nodded.

With her affirmation, the atmosphere in the room became even heavier.

If Xia Fan's guess was true, it meant that they might also die there if they went, after all, the disciples of the Dao Sect were not weaker than them in strength, and the Dao Sect's methods were relatively effective against evil spirits. If even they died, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed.

Although Xia Fan had been in Mirror Moon Valley for ten years, his mental strength was much stronger than that of his peers. Although Zhong Yue and the others had a high level of cultivation, they were still young and felt that they were somewhat superior to ordinary people.

As for Ding Peng's claim that they should go to Huangning Village at midnight, that was even more nonsense. In his previous life, when he watched horror movies, he had wondered why they always had to go at night. Couldn't they go during the day?

Turning on the lights when entering a house, opening the windows when entering a haunted house, would that tire you out? If it really didn't work, why not call the police? He didn't believe that any ghost would dare to ignore a police badge and insist on seeking death.

"If they really are powerful disciples of the Dao Sect, should we report directly to the sect?" Wang Lian asked.

Obviously, although everyone had confidence in their own abilities, they did not underestimate the strength of the Dao Sect disciples.

"Let's go and see tomorrow before making a decision."

As he said this, Xia Fan's eyes simultaneously emitted a purple light, activating the secret technique Spirit Ascension.

"I don't have much experience, but there is a faint smell of death everywhere here. Be careful. Tonight, all of you come over and we'll sleep in one room. We'll send out immediately tomorrow morning!"

During this month of being together, everyone knew that he had mastered many secret techniques. Although most of them were auxiliary in nature, they also understood that his words were highly credible.

The atmosphere here made him slightly uneasy, especially the nauseating aura.

"Okay!"

In this situation, sticking together was the best choice. This was the experience he had gained from watching horror movies for many years.

At night, the four of them meditated in the room. The entire Fangyang County was quiet, with a chilling wind blowing outside, giving a sense of eeriness.

At this time, in a village to the south of Fangyang County, it was unusually quiet.

The whole village was lifeless, not even the sound of insects could be heard. In the center of the village stood a hundred-year-old locust tree, with lush branches and leaves, but now it was hanging with dried corpses. The land around the locust tree was dark red, and the smell of blood was nauseating.

At this moment, there were five figures standing around the locust tree.

"Boss, a few more disciples from the sect have come to Fangyang County. What should we do?" A soft and seductive voice came.

The speaker was not a human, but a spider the size of a grinding plate. Below was the spider's body, and above was a delicate and beautiful human face, with blood-red lips. Occasionally, it would extend a crimson tongue while speaking, making people feel nauseous.

"How many people are there, and what is their cultivation level?" Hearing this, a man with a small stature and a face like a dried corpse asked.

"Four, their cultivation level should be similar to those Taoist priests. Ah~ they really are delicious!" The spider-faced person exclaimed excitedly.

Among the five figures present, four were humans and one was a demon. The remaining man was a green-robed Taoist, a bare-chested and fat monk, and an ordinary-looking young man with a sword. The only thing they had in common was the nauseating and ominous aura emanating from them.

"After dealing with them, we will leave here immediately. There is not much blood food left here, so there is no need to waste time!"

"Yes, boss!"
