The strange old man was hanging upside down above their heads.

His eyes were narrowed into slits and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was watching a wonderful performance.

His figure looked particularly eerie in the moonlight, like a demon crawling out of hell.

"Hey, isn't this the mysterious old man who opened the door for me? Why are you here? Are you here to greet us?"

When Ling Chenyu saw that it was a strange old man, he immediately perked up and greeted him exaggeratedly.

Xia Qingge couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She knew that Ling Chenyu was deliberately teasing the old man, but she didn't expect him to be so direct.

You know, this weird old guy can't be described as ugly.

Xia Qingge looked over and happened to see the weird old man's weird face twitching slightly.

As if she was amused, Xia Qingge couldn't help but smile.

The strange old man ignored Ling Chenyu's teasing and slowly walked up to them.

His eyes swept over the two of them as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

"You two are quite capable. You actually managed to escape from that hell of bones."

The strange old man's voice was low and hoarse, as if it was squeezed out from his throat.

When Ling Chenyu heard this, he straightened his back and looked very proud.

"Of course we are! We are brave explorers! But how did you know we were there, old man?"

The strange old man laughed.

The laughter sounded particularly harsh in the silent night, like an old crow cawed on a branch.

He did not directly answer Ling Chenyu's question, but took out a small bottle that was flashing with a strange light from his pocket.

With a flick of his wrist, the powder in the bottle sprinkled towards Ling Chenyu and Xia Qingge like drizzle.

"Oh my god, what is this? Weird old man, are you trying to give us a 'chemical castration'?" Ling

Chen Yu shouted exaggeratedly, jumping up and down while trying to shake off the powder on his body. He looked as funny as a monkey scalded by boiling water.

Xia Qingge also looked shocked, but seemed much calmer in comparison.

She dusted herself off, trying to remain calm.

"Ling Chenyu, calm down and check if we are feeling unwell first."

However, just as the two men finished speaking, the strange old man's hands, as flexible as water snakes, suddenly stretched out and strangled their necks.

His eyes became fierce and greedy, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehehe, two more foods have arrived. Mmm, they smell really good. As expected of a cultivator, he is much more nutritious than ordinary people."

Ling Chenyu and Xia Qingge felt their breathing stagnate, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in their throats, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

They struggled desperately, but the strange old man was so strong that the two of them were like chicks caught in a pair of pliers, unable to move.

"Strange old man, you...you let us go!"

Ling Chenyu struggled and shouted, trying to use the law to intimidate this strange old man.

But the strange old man didn't seem to buy it at all. He grabbed the two men and slammed them into the tree trunk of the wooden house with a bang.

Ling Chenyu only felt that his eyes went dark, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment.

When he finally came to his senses, he found himself in the wooden house where he had gone to inquire about the news of Zhuanyun Town.

Everything here is so familiar and yet so strange.

He saw the familiar wooden table, wooden chairs, and the tattered map hanging on the wall.

"Wait... this... isn't this the place where I met Shadow Duck and that mysterious old man?"

Ling Chenyu was startled and looked around.

It didn't matter that he took a look around, he actually found that the rest of the Xia family were captured here!

They were tied to pillars one by one, with fear and despair written all over their faces.

In addition, some ordinary people that Ling Chenyu saw in the town were also captured.

They were all ragged, pale and thin, looking like they had been malnourished for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Ling Chenyu felt an inexplicable anger and grief in his heart.

He was getting closer and closer to the secrets hidden in the transfer town.

What kind of evil and conspiracy is hidden behind this seemingly peaceful town?

"Strange old man, you bastard! What on earth do you want to do? Why are you arresting these people?"

Ling Chenyu shouted with gritted teeth, his eyes had turned red as if they were about to spit fire.

The weird old man seemed not to hear his shouting and continued to laugh weirdly.

His eyes were full of madness and greed, like a demon who was about to be satisfied.

The most important thing now is to stay calm.

Only by calming down can you find a chance to escape and uncover the secrets behind this transit town.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Then, he quietly looked around, looking for possible escape routes and opportunities to counterattack...

At this moment, Ling Chenyu caught a slight movement out of the corner of his eye.

He looked in the direction of the noise and saw that in the corner of the wooden house, a piece of wood seemed to be loose, and a faint light was visible through the gap.

"Xia Qingge, look over there!"

Ling Chenyu signaled Xia Qingge with his eyes, and at the same time tried to lower his voice as much as possible to avoid attracting the attention of the strange old man.

Xia Qingge followed Ling Chenyu's gaze and her heart suddenly brightened.

She nodded slightly, indicating that she understood Ling Chenyu's intention.

The two of them began to move towards the corner quietly, trying not to make any noise.

However, at this moment, the strange old man seemed to notice their actions.

He turned his head suddenly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, staring at Ling Chenyu and Xia Qingge.

"Humph, you want to run away? It's not that easy!"

The strange old man snorted coldly, and with a flash of his body, he appeared in front of the two men like a ghost, blocking their way.

Ling Chenyu and Xia Qingge felt nervous, knowing that there was no hope of escape, and they could only bite the bullet and face this strange old man.

"Weird old man, what on earth do you want to do? Let these people go, and come to us if anything happens!"

Ling Chenyu straightened his back and shouted loudly, trying to intimidate the strange old man with his momentum.

The strange old man laughed as if he heard something funny.

"Humph, you think you can fight me with your limited skills? You really overestimate your own abilities!"

As he spoke, the strange old man waved his hand, and a powerful gust of air rushed towards Ling Chenyu and Xia Qingge.

The two of them only felt a huge force coming towards them, which they could not resist at all.

There was a loud "Bang!"

Ling Chenyu and Xia Qingge were slammed hard against the wall of the wooden house again, and they felt as if their internal organs were about to shift.

"Cough...cough..."

Ling Chenyu lay on the ground, gasping for breath, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Xia Qingge's situation was not good either. She struggled to get up, looking at Ling Chenyu with eyes full of worry and determination.

"Ling Chenyu, we can't just give up like this! We must find a way to rescue these people!"

Xia Qingge gritted her teeth and said.

Ling Chenyu nodded, and a flame of unyielding determination ignited in his heart.

He knew that the most important thing now was to find the strange old man's weakness so that he would have a chance to fight back.

He observed the strange old man carefully, trying to find his flaws.

However, the strange old man was too powerful, and Ling Chenyu could not find any opportunity to attack.

At this moment, Ling Chenyu suddenly thought of something.

He remembered that in that room before, when they picked up bones and threw them at the strange old man, he seemed to be burned.

So, what restrained him were those bloody bones? !

Ling Chenyu and Xia Qingge seemed to have thought of this at the same time, and their eyes were shining.
