Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 352 Shenmu Villa
After Cui Xi and others left, Li Fan and others still stayed outside Old Man Wang's yard to practice.

"Should we go back?" asked a cultivator from Yukun Academy.

"Since Senior Brother Cui and the others have returned, they will surely bring back news soon. Let's go outside and check around to see if there are any clues about the demon." Chen Zhen said. His injuries had recovered a lot overnight.

Wang Yuyao looked at Old Man Wang and heard him say, "Yuyao, you can go with them. Young Master Lu and Qingshan are here, nothing will happen."

"Okay." Wang Yuyao nodded and bowed to Li Fan: "Thank you for your help, Young Master Lu."

After saying that, the group left.

"Brother Xiaofan, what do you think is going on with these monsters?" Yang Qingshan asked.

Li Fan shook his head. He had just arrived and knew nothing about Qinghe County. How could he know so much?

"This time the demon attack was strange. There are many cultivators in Qinghe County and they are very powerful. For many years, the demons have not dared to invade. But this time the appearance of the demons seemed premeditated, and their actions were very methodical. I'm afraid there is a big demon directing them from behind." said Old Man Wang.

"Let's wait for the news." Li Fan said.

Half a day later, Wang Yuyao came back here with a smile on her face, and said: "This demon chaos has alarmed all the major forces in Qinghe County. The major sects outside Yukun Academy also have cultivators ready to kill demons. Shenmu Villa has sent news that they have some clues about demons and invited all forces to come to the villa to discuss the matter of killing demons."

When Old Man Wang heard this, he was immediately delighted and said with a smile: "The Cui and Xie families have already participated, and there is also the Yukun Academy as a representative. Now that Shenmu Villa has called for it, all forces will surely respond, and the demons can be pacified."

"Shenmu Villa?" Li Fan asked curiously. He didn't know much about the power in Qinghe County.

"Young man, you may not know that Shenmu Villa is also one of the top families in Qinghe County, and they have always lived outside the city. There are many powerful people in the villa. A few years ago, it was rumored that the old manor owner Mu was injured and had been practicing in seclusion, so Shenmu Villa rarely went out. Now that the demons are causing chaos and alarming all forces, Shenmu Villa has taken the initiative to stand up, which is naturally a good thing."

"That's great." Li Fan nodded slightly.

"Brother Xiaofan, are you going?" Yang Qingshan asked curiously.

"Let's go and take a look." Li Fan replied. Since his junior brother had asked him to come here to explore for a reason, he wanted to see what this demon disaster would involve.

In the distance, people were flying in the sky one after another. Practitioners from all over Qinghe County were rushing here. It was obvious that the killing of demons had aroused the anger of the practitioners.

When Li Fan saw these, he thought that although there were various grievances and conflicts among humans in the Dali Dynasty, most cultivators were still able to fight side by side when facing the chaos of demons.

"Dad, do you want to go with us?" Wang Yuyao said to the old man.

"No, with so many practitioners coming, the demons can't cause trouble. You just go and don't worry about me." Old man Wang replied.

"I'll stay with you." When Yang Qingshan heard that Old Man Wang was not going, he didn't want to go either.

"You all stay here, Xiao Yuan and I will go." Li Fan said. Huang Xiong and others can deal with the five realms of demons, and they also have some trump cards. If they encounter danger, they can take care of Yang Qingshan and Old Man Wang and let them escape safely.

The current situation at Shenmu Villa is still unknown, so it would be a good opportunity for him and Lu Yuan to go and check it out.

Yang Qingshan: “???”

Is it so affectionate?

What stage has it reached?

Lu Yuan also glanced at Li Fan silently, and everyone else understood.

Li Fan had a blank expression on his face. He just didn't want to reveal Lu Yuan's name. Lu Yuan had gained some fame in the West Sea. He wondered whether the news about the West Sea would spread to the inland.

In the evening, people started to arrive at the mountain in the western suburbs of Qinghe County one after another. It was a huge and lively place.

However, most people were just there to join in the fun. Occasionally, when they saw someone flying in the air, passers-by would exclaim and discuss who had arrived.

Li Fan and Lu Yuan came with Chen Zhen and others.

Shenmu Villa is a family power. The Mu family is one of the top forces in Qinghe County, and the old owner of the villa is the top cultivator in Qinghe County.

Li Fan and his companions arrived outside the villa, where someone was standing outside to greet them. After Chen Zhen and his companions told their origins, they were smoothly invited into the villa.

Shenmu Villa covers a vast area. The continuous buildings are like a small city, and the whole villa is full of vitality.

Entering Shenmu Villa, many cultivators have already gathered here, including people from various sects and families in Qinghe County, as well as independent cultivators from all sides.

"The atmosphere in this villa seems a bit strange." Li Fan said softly.

"The reason why Shenmu Villa is called Shenmu Villa, besides being the property of the Mu family, is because of a sacred tree. The villa worships an ancient tree that has become spiritual." Wang Yuyao said.

"A tree demon."

Li Fan thought to himself, but since he was in the other party's territory, he naturally wouldn't say it out loud. All things have spirits, and there is nothing wrong with Wang Yuyao saying that she has cultivated spirituality, but if you put it another way, you can also call it a tree demon.

The boundary between spirits and demons lies in whether they do evil.

"Something's wrong."

Li Fan frowned slightly. The sacred tree would produce rich wood-attributed spiritual energy, which made people feel comfortable, but at this moment Li Fan felt a sense of disharmony.

As his mind moved, Li Fan had a faint fluctuation of magic power, and his eyes became extremely strange. There was a emerald green color in the light golden pupils, flashing with two different lusters.

After training on Jiuying Island, Li Fan devoured the sacred tree and gave birth to a Dharma image. Now he is also a Qigong practitioner who mainly practices wood attributes. His slightly weird eyes looked around the villa and found no demonic aura. However, in addition to the wood attribute aura, he also sensed a wisp of gray airflow, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. The two auras mixed together and covered up the gray airflow.

"There is a problem with Shenmu Villa."

Li Fan thought to himself that more and more practitioners were arriving at this time, the villa was extremely lively, but the sky was gradually getting darker.

Li Fan and others came to the central area of ​​the villa, where monks from all directions gathered.

"Senior Brother Cui and Senior Sister Xie are here." Wang Yuyao turned around and saw a group of people flying in the air. Leading the group were Cui Ji and Xie Lingxuan, and there were several old men beside them. They were very imposing. Li Fan saw at a glance that they should be cultivators in the sixth realm.

"Cui Ji and Xie Lingxuan are indeed the geniuses of aristocratic families. They are now at the peak of the Condensation Pill stage. I'm afraid they will have the opportunity to break through and enter the Dao Body stage within a few years."

Many people came forward to greet them, and a group of people landed at the front. People from the Yukun Academy also came forward.

At this time, people were coming from the front one after another. They were people from Shenmu Villa.

In front of them, a middle-aged man walked over and bowed to everyone, saying, "Everyone, Mu Lingfeng has been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Senior Mu."

"Master Mu." All the cultivators also bowed and saluted. The middle-aged man who appeared was Mu Lingfeng, the current helmsman of Shenmu Villa. The old master had not been involved in external affairs for many years and passed the position of master to Mu Lingfeng.

Li Fan's eyes still revealed a strange color as he stared at Mu Lingfeng. He saw that there was nothing unusual about the other person's aura. He then looked around and saw gray air currents flowing on the bodies of those monks in the dark.

"If there is any problem, be ready to fight or evacuate at any time." Li Fan transmitted the message to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was stunned, looked at Li Fan with some surprise, and then nodded slightly.

"Ms. Wang, there is a problem with Shenmu Villa. Please inform the people in Yukun Academy and be mentally prepared." Li Fan then messaged Wang Yuyao.

Wang Yuyao looked at Li Fan in astonishment, not quite believing it, and replied, "Young Master Lu, what's the problem?"

"It's still unclear." Li Fan said, but at this point in time, inviting cultivators from all sides to come to Shenmu Villa, and there are abnormalities among the cultivators in the villa, so there must be demons at work.

"Shenmu Villa has been rooted in Qinghe County for many years and has a respected status, so it shouldn't be like that." Wang Yuyao shook her head at Li Fan.

"You decide for yourself."

Li Fan didn't say much. It was up to the other party to believe it or not.

"I'll pass on the young man's reminder." Wang Yuyao said after hesitating.

Mu Lingfeng waved his hand at everyone and continued, "Now that demons are roaming around, our Shenmu Villa has obtained clues about the demons. We have summoned you all to come here to kill the demons. Do you have the courage?"

"of course."

"Killing monsters is our duty." Everyone echoed.

"Okay." Mu Lingfeng had a wine glass in his hand, and he drank it all up, saying, "A banquet has been prepared in the villa, everyone, drink to strengthen your courage and kill the monster."

"okay."

"Master Mu is so generous, so we won't be polite." Everyone walked towards the prepared banquet, picked up the wine glasses and drank them all.

Li Fan frowned. He wanted to remind everyone, but he was afraid that no one would believe him.

Moreover, it would be troublesome if I reminded him in public.

The sword power on Jiuying Island has been exhausted. Facing a great cultivator, he needs to be more cautious.

"Brother Lu, don't worry. If there is any problem with Shenmu Villa, then no one in Qinghe County can be trusted." Chen Zhen walked to Li Fan and whispered. It was obvious that Wang Yuyao had told him.

But Shenmu Villa is so famous in Qinghe County that no one doubts it.

"Let's go, Brother Lu, let's have a drink together." Chen Zhen said to Li Fan.

"It's better to be careful." Li Fan replied in a low voice: "We have something else to do, so we won't stay."

He then glanced at Lu Yuan and said to Wang Yuyao, "Come with me."

Wang Yuyao hesitated, but when she thought of how Li Fan had saved them before, she nodded, "Okay."

Li Fan and Lu Yuan walked out at very fast pace.

Among the crowd behind him, Cui Xi and others were the center of attention, but he glanced in the direction of Li Fan with a slightly frowned brow.

He also smelled something unusual.

The night gradually enveloped the earth, but Shenmu Villa was still brightly lit. Li Fan and Lu Yuan walked out of the villa and looked into the distance, only to see an extremely powerful demonic aura shrouding the darkness.

Behind him, Shenmu Villa was shrouded in dark clouds, and he suddenly sensed a foul odor, which was like the stench of a corpse.
