Chapter 588 White Demon
Because a savior suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Cao Yun felt relaxed and was able to concentrate on his thoughts.

Why do people encounter ghosts during the day?

"daytime?"

Caiyi was acting with Bai Min'er. They received news during the day that demons were threatening all sides, so they specially flew on their swords to exorcise the demons. Their rescue of Cao Yun was just an accident.

She raised her hand and flicked her sleeve, and immediately the scenery in front of Cao Yun changed.

The sky was already pitch black.

The tire tracks were deep, as if the vehicle had lingered in the same spot dozens of times.

They seemed to have run a long way, but in reality they were just circling around.

"We're trapped in a maze!" the adjutant exclaimed.

"Being trapped in a maze?" Cao Yun found this explanation novel.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer. You should hurry back to Tan Family Town." Caiyi glanced at her again, then flew into the sky on her sword.

Their gazes followed the figure in colorful clothes upwards, where beneath the enormous full moon, a graceful figure hovered atop a flying sword.

Looking down, Cao Yun glanced at the soldiers who were now slumped on the ground in the distance: "Back to Tanjia Town."

They had been running for an unknown amount of time during the day, but when they returned at night, the road was clear, and they soon saw Tanjia Town.

When I entered, I saw him sitting in a rocking chair, holding a bunch of grapes in his hand.

Life is so leisurely.

"Master Tan," Cao Yun greeted him.

"Huh, why are you back?" Tan Wenjie asked in surprise.

Cao Yun smiled and retorted, "What, you're not welcome?"

She rarely reveals her true feelings.

"Welcome, of course you're welcome." Tan Wenjie stood up, his expression suddenly turning serious. "Huh? Did you encounter a ghost?"

"Can you tell?"

Tan Wenjie didn't say anything, he just turned around and walked inside.

Seeing this, Cao Yun immediately followed.

Upon entering the side hall, she saw Tan Wenjie with a stern face pick up a teapot, quickly pour a cup of tea, place it on the table, and then turn to glance at Cao Yun.

He frowned but didn't say anything, only beckoned to her.

Cao Yun walked over: "Hmm?"

Tan Wenjie pointed to the tea on the table.

"Me, drink it?" she asked.

After receiving his nod of agreement, I picked up my teacup and took a sip.

The tea wasn't properly brewed, and a bitter taste filled my mouth.

"How are you feeling?" Tan Wenjie asked.

"bitter."

Tan Wenjie nodded: "That means there's nothing wrong with his brain."

Cao Yun: "Huh?"

"Why did you suddenly come back?" Tan Wenjie finally got to the point. "What you encountered is not simple."

"It was Lady in Colorful Clothes; she descended from the sky and saved me."

"Colorful clothes?"

Seeing Tan Wenjie frown again, Cao Yun asked, "By the way, I remember there's a fairy riding a flying sword waiting for her in the sky. Is she in danger?"

"Under normal circumstances, there is no danger."

Caiyi is a Seven Star Witch, and Bai Min'er is with her. As long as they are not top-level experts like the Evil Princess or the Thousand-Year Zombie King, they can kill their way through.

Even if there is danger, the two of them can escape, and then find a local temple or a local ghost to send a message, so that Tan Wenjie can rush over immediately.

In summary, there is basically no danger.

"And another thing!" Cao Yun opened his mouth, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "All my men are still there, their fates unknown."

She brought a large force to Tanjia Town intending to "invite" Tan Wenjie back regardless of the consequences, but now she's asking him to help rescue someone, which is quite awkward.

"I'll go with you." Tan Wenjie nodded without hesitation.

He was used to helping others, and even though he knew it would be troublesome, he couldn't control his kind heart.

The two set off together. With Tan Wenjie protecting them, Cao Yun refused to let the weak-willed adjutant accompany them, thinking that he was enough to carry on with just one burden.

She brought the people with her, and she felt obligated to rescue them all.

Tan Wenjie rode the bicycle, and Cao Yun sat on the back seat.

With a pair of iron legs pushing off, he had already sprinted nearly a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

On the way, Cao Yun was thrown forward uncontrollably several times, and when she instinctively wrapped her arms around Tan Wenjie's waist, he suddenly braked.

Squeak, crash.

Squeak, squeak, crashing repeatedly.

Saving lives was her priority, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

After finally getting past the previous stretch of bad road, the muddy path became a little smoother, and tire tracks could still be seen, indicating that they were on the right track.

The surrounding air gleamed coldly, and in the darkness, it seemed as if crimson eyes were staring at him. Cao Yun subconsciously spoke up: "What was the tea I just drank?"

"Tea."

"I get it!" Cao Yun suddenly realized. "That was a cup of tea with burnt talisman paper, right?"

"It's just what you think. I can't say more. I can only say that those who understand will understand."

In the dead of night, the howling and whimpering of wolves could be heard.

A ghastly green will-o'-the-wisp appeared out of nowhere ahead, swaying as it rushed toward the two of them.

"They're tough to deal with, be careful." Tan Wenjie turned his head left and right. "Remember to stick close to me."

"you are not……"

Cao Yun was puzzled. Since Tan Wenjie was the real immortal, he shouldn't be making such a fuss. His reaction was completely different from Caiyi's back then.

Is Tan Wenjie a good-for-nothing, while Caiyi is the one with real skills?
"All my men have disappeared."

"It didn't disappear; there's a formation involved." Tan Wenjie frowned and turned his head, saying, "The visitors are hostile."

In the darkness, a woman dressed in flamboyant attire approached with a coquettish laugh.

The giggling laughter sounded extremely jarring at night.

"boom!"

The woman had a bloody hole between her eyebrows and collapsed to the ground.

Cao Yun turned to look at Tan Wenjie beside him in astonishment, only to see that Tan was holding a gun in his right hand, the muzzle of which was still smoking.

The thunderous roar just now came from this gun.

She was about to ask.

"How did you..."

More and more figures appeared, some dressed like traveling merchants, others like grooms, cooks, maids, and so on.

Tan Wenjie, on the other hand, was very fair and raised his gun, shooting down anyone who came with a single shot.

The surrounding area was littered with corpses.

“These things are not human, and they can’t be completely killed.” Tan Wenjie grabbed Cao Yun’s hand and pulled her forward.

The number of pursuers behind them, emitting giggles, was increasing.

Crash.

The clouds parted ahead, and a ghastly green light shone down, revealing a group of people dressed in white mourning robes, carrying a coffin painted bright red, appearing on their escape route.

"Boom!"

Cao Yun was in a daze, as if he had bumped his head on something.

Everything was pitch black, and there seemed to be something warm pressing down on me. The space was also very cramped.

She tried to move again.

"hiss!"

"Master Tan?"

Tan Wenjie said, "It's me. Could you move your knees a little?"

"Sorry." Cao Yun moved his knee away. Because of the movement, the contact between them increased again, and even the spot where his knee had accidentally attacked earlier began to fight back fiercely.

Where are we?

"In that coffin from earlier."

"what?"

“White Fiends,” Tan Wenjie said, “If I’m not mistaken, these things are planning to capture us and use us as scapegoats.”

This was Cao Yun's first real experience with a paranormal event. Her hardened heart, honed through years of training, started racing wildly. In the dark, narrow space where she couldn't see anything, the warmth she could feel was her only source of security. "What do we do now?"

"Don't move, it's dangerous."

Cao Yun: "..."

She always felt that the danger Tan Wenjie mentioned might not be the same as the danger she imagined, and she wondered what was going on with the hand on her butt.

"get ready."

Tan Wenjie took a deep breath.

"Thunder comes!"

"boom!"

The coffin was suddenly overturned, and the two instinctively hugged each other, rolling sideways out of the coffin.

Stop in the grass.

Cao Yun opened his eyes and looked at the figure lying on top of him. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and all the ambiguity vanished like smoke.

Cao Yun looked down at the hand resting on her left chest.

"I'm sorry." Tan Wenjie apologized sincerely and promptly, then placed his other hand on it.

She didn't speak, she just kept staring at that hand.

"Feel sorry."

Tan Wenjie withdrew his hand. He was definitely not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others recklessly. Everyone had accidentally rolled to the ground earlier, and their hands and feet were probably out of control. But now that they were safe, they had to remember to keep their distance.

He got up first before reaching out to pull Cao Yun up.

In fact, they weren't carried far by the coffin; in the distance, one could still see the corpses that Tan Wenjie had shot dead.

"What should we do?" Cao Yun had subconsciously regarded him as her backbone, asking what to do before taking any action.

"There are signs of habitation in the distance. Let's go check it out."

"Site inhabited?"

Cao Yun turned his head to look.

There was indeed a lot of smoke.

When a gust of wind blows by, it will also stir up a shower of sparks.

"Cough cough cough." She coughed, choked by the fumes.

"who!"

The coughing attracted attention from afar, and it was an old man who spoke.

The two followed the sound and saw a ragged old man tending a fire, the billowing smoke and sparks illuminating the surrounding area.

"you are?"

“I live in this village,” the old man said. “Many people died here before, and then they all moved away. Only my granddaughter and I were left to depend on each other. But who would have thought that just two days ago my sixteen-year-old granddaughter suddenly became possessed by an evil spirit? I can only use folk remedies to cure her.”

He sighed as he spoke.

“I can help,” Tan Wenjie said immediately.

Cao Yun turned to look at him, surprised by his enthusiasm.

When he thought about how he would ask for help, Tan Wenjie would agree without hesitation.

"This..." the old man hesitated, "or perhaps it's better to forget it, you..."

"I am a Taoist priest," Tan Wenjie introduced himself. "I am a disciple of Maoshan, and I know how to subdue demons and monsters. I also have some medical knowledge, and I don't charge fees."

"She, she's in this house over here," the old man pointed.

"Let's go." Tan Wenjie led Cao Yun into the adjacent side room with his head held high.

As soon as I entered, I heard a sobbing sound.

The girl, huddled in the corner with her knees drawn up, wept bitterly.

"It seems to be her."

Tan Wenjie walked over and reached out to grab her arm, but the girl, who had been sobbing just a moment ago, opened her mouth and bit his hand the next second.

Fortunately, her reaction was fast enough that her sharp teeth missed and instead bit off her own tongue.

Blood splattered.

Tan Wenjie: "Wait, you mustn't die. You bit off your own tongue, it has nothing to do with me."

"..."

As the girl struggled to lunge at Tan Wenjie, he quickly raised his hand and grabbed her hair.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He grabbed a tuft of hair at the back of her head and slammed it against the ground repeatedly.

Tan Wenjie continued smashing for three to five seconds before stopping.

"I told you long ago not to cause me any trouble." Tan Wenjie angrily pointed at the girl whose forehead was bleeding and whose tongue had been bitten off halfway. "Don't bully honest people."

The girl was dizzy and knelt on the ground, her upper body swaying back and forth like a roly-poly toy.

"That's about enough, something's wrong." Tan Wenjie turned to Cao Yun and said, "Something's not right here, we should evacuate."

"Ugh!" The girl bent over and vomited large amounts of blood.

Suddenly her limbs twisted, making her crawl like a spider.

The blood that spurted from his mouth turned into a red ghost and headed straight for Tan Wenjie's head.

But just as it rushed halfway, a hand bearing an imperial edict blocked the red ghost's path. What terrified it even more was that the hand did not retreat after the red ghost stopped, but instead slammed into the ghost's forehead with a "smack".

Lightning exploded.

The other party was instantly annihilated.

Even as his soul dissipated, the red ghost still couldn't figure out what "bad" meant. Did it mean he was just unlucky?

The two left the room.

Cao Yun asked, "Is it resolved?"

“No.” Tan Wenjie looked at the old man. “Or do you think you can fool me?”

The old man exclaimed "Huh?", only to be met with the pistol that Tan Wenjie had raised.

A gun was pointed at his head.

"boom!"

The crisp, clean gunshot startled Tan Wenjie.

He immediately turned to look to the side, and saw that it was Cao Yun who had fired the shot.

"What are you doing?"

“Didn’t you say he had a problem?” Cao Yun said. “Our situation is unclear right now, so we can’t take too much risk.”

You have a gun, so you're in the right.

Tan Wenjie raised his right hand and quickly formed a hand seal, a faint light remaining at the tip of his sword finger.

He bent down and squatted down, poking the ground with his sword finger.

hum-

Like ocean waves, one after another rippled outwards from the sword-pointing point in all directions.

Cao Yun saw the coffin that had carried them over earlier; it was still a coffin, but the bright red paint was gone.

They also saw that the corpses that Tan Wenjie had shot and killed along the way were all paper figures.

The only difference is that each of these paper figures has a bullet hole between its eyebrows.

The entire village has long since become a veritable ghost village, with wreaths erected, resembling a cemetery that has just been visited by graves.

Cao Yun breathed a sigh of relief. At least with the village chief being killed, they had come to their senses, and no one was... why was there a corpse lying on the ground?

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.

Isn't this the village chief?

Wait! Cao Yun suddenly exclaimed in surprise, turning to Tan Wenjie and asking, "Is he a person?"

Tan Wenjie asked in surprise, "When did I say he wasn't human?"

"But when you fired the gun earlier, the village chief..."

Tonight's experience completely ripped off her facade, revealing her emotions in the most direct way.

"He may be a human being, but he may not be a good one."

The resentment was so great that at least eighty or a hundred people were killed by the old man.

"There seems to be a letter here. Who dropped their side quest item? If no one wants it, I'll take it myself."

Cao Yun: "..."

You clearly found it on the corpse.
