While everyone was still thinking, Zhang Xiaoliang's expression suddenly changed.

He cautiously took a step forward and landed on the dry ground. He closed his eyes and carefully felt the few gray smoke rising from the ground.

After a while, the dark and bright eyes opened, Zhang Xiaoliang's eyes were deep, he thought for a while and said to the others.

"As you go deeper, the mixed atmosphere becomes lighter. There may be something inside that has absorbed the ominous atmosphere."

Hearing this, several people's eyes lit up.

There are thousands of ominous auras, and the most important one that demon cultivators practice and absorb is the demonic aura. No matter what kind of ominous aura, most people who are invaded by it will fall into the misery of physical death and Taoism.

ending.

Therefore, since ancient times, treasures that can absorb or purify ominous air have been valuable but not marketable. What's more, it is such a large area, and the treasure inside is definitely a unique magic weapon that can arouse competition as soon as it is born.

Except for Zhang Xiaoliang, who was born in the ordinary world, none of the people present were from well-off families and had never seen any treasures. But at this moment, hearing about this rare treasure, their hearts were surging and they couldn't help themselves.

The few of them looked at each other without speaking, but they already understood each other's meaning.

The farther into the center of the dry soil, the darker the gray smoke becomes. By the time inside the town, what emerges from the ground is no longer gray mist, but black smoke as black as ink.

The aura contained on it is becoming more and more frightening. Fortunately, there are magic weapons given by the sect that can keep it out of the magic shield.

The town was dead silent, with no sign of life. However, the closed doors, cups filled with dried tea leaves, unburned candles, overturned tables and chairs... and other signs all indicated that this town

It was once bustling with people and prosperous.

Everyone's death and disappearance all happened in an instant, and no one could escape.

This realization made them all feel chilled, as if they were weak ants while the poisonous snake hung on the tree, its terrifying vertical eyes staring at the food it had at its fingertips, and hissing.

"ah!"

At this moment when everyone was at war, Xiao Xiaoning let out a scream that echoed through the sky, startling the other people to prepare their magic weapons and prepare for the attack, like a frightened bird.

There is no danger.

Qin Shuangyan was really angry this time and said sternly: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Xiaoning couldn't care less about arguing with Qin Shuangyan, her face was pale and bloodless.

Her whole body was stiff, trembling slightly, and her eyes were staring at her feet without blinking.

There, the claws of an unknown creature covered in blood emerged from the soil and grasped her ankle.

Her voice trembled: "There is... there is a ghost..."

"Get out of the way!" Lin Yihan shouted, and the long sword in his hand slashed straight towards the claws on the ground.

Qin Lingzhi took the opportunity to pull away Xiao Xiaoning who was stunned.

The long sword's attack was fierce and powerful, but the deformed claws were faster, dodging as quickly as a hurricane.

Bang——

The ground exploded, and a strange figure jumped three feet high from it.

"Bah, bah..."

Zhang Zheng hurriedly vomited out the dirt that filled her mouth, and was horrified in her heart. How could she be buried alive? Also, what kind of wicked person would step on a dead person like her without even looking at her?

As soon as he raised his eyes, Zhang Zheng ran into the surprised and uncertain eyes of the seven people opposite him.

At this moment, the two groups of people stood opposite each other, forming an extremely sharp contrast.

The group of seven people were all handsome men and beauties, neatly dressed and full of fairy spirit. On the other side, there was only a strange humanoid creature standing in a weird posture. The blood all over her body had dried up, forming a blood scab mixed with mottled dust and covering her whole body.

Zhang Zheng recognized the sect costumes on the seven people, and also recognized Lin Yihan, the unknown and kind-hearted senior brother.

Immediately, a wonderful feeling of joy came to her heart, and before a few people could question her identity, she couldn't wait to announce her family name.

"Hello, senior brothers and sisters, I am Zhang Zheng, an outer disciple of Wanxuan Sect."

Fortunately, the identity token has no aura, so he survived the black smoke.

Zhang Zheng dug out the token from the soil, performed a body purification technique, and washed her face with spiritual energy transformed into water, finally confirming her identity.

Lin Yihan felt familiar when he heard Zhang Zheng's name. When he saw his appearance, he finally remembered some impressions.

"Junior sister Zhang Zheng, we meet again."

Lin Yihan smiled at her, confirming her identity, and asked: "My surname is Lin and my first name is Yihan. You can call me Senior Brother Lin. But why are you here?"

Lin Yihan! The person who saved her in the secret realm...

Zhang Zheng was stunned for a while. She had long noticed the deathly silence and desolation around her, and her subconscious told her that she must not reveal the real reason for her survival.

She scratched her head, her expression frightened, as if she remembered the previous tragic situation.

"I don't know why, at that time... we were trapped in the magic cultivator's formation, and then... then suddenly black smoke filled the air, and everyone started screaming. I only felt a sharp pain, and then there was a burst of white light in front of my eyes,

I fainted...and when I woke up, I saw you guys..."

After listening to her explanation, several people still had some doubts, but they knew that there would be no results from asking, so they could only accept her explanation for the time being.

I saw several people with complicated expressions, as if they were looking for something.

Zhang Zheng thought about it for a while, but decided not to take the initiative to join in the fun, and just followed them in circles like a piece of wood.

I walked around the town and found nothing.

Qin Shuangyan turned her attention to Zhang Zheng, who was wandering in space. This strange junior sister might have some adventures if she could survive in the center of the town.

If she could think of this, so could the others. Then, the eyes of the seven people in the group all fell on Zhang Zheng.

Qin Shuangyan took the initiative and said: "Junior sister Zhang, can you tell us the details before you fell into coma? Did you find anything strange?"

He was still suspected, Zhang Zheng sighed inwardly, although it was indeed impossible not to be suspected.

"I didn't pay much attention to the details, but there is something strange about it."

Zhang Zheng thought of the hard bead she picked up with her right hand when she just got up from the ground. It was quite incredible that the red bead she had picked out from the spider's eye had not changed at all under the attack of black smoke.

Instead, the strange bead absorbed a lot of the pure vitality that overflowed from her body, and the red light became even brighter, with wisps of vitality swimming around in it, which was extraordinary.

I have to say that she had a good mind and didn't put it away subconsciously when she saw the bead. No, now she had no choice but to discard it to dispel her doubts.

The treasure she had worked so hard for had not figured out its use yet, but it was being used as a wedding dress for someone else! Zhang Zheng suppressed the heartache in her heart and pretended to remember it bitterly.

"Before I fell into coma, I seemed to see a burst of white light. That white light made people feel very... particularly warm and comfortable."

She paused for a moment and continued: "The location... seems to be not far from me."

After listening to her description, several people had eight levels of control. To be able to protect one person from harm in such a strong ominous atmosphere, it must be a magic weapon of vitality!

Can't wait to rush back to the place where Zhang Zheng was unearthed, Zhang Xiaoliang used a wave of earth to turn the soil under his feet.

In the thick loess mud, a fiery red bead shines like the hanging sun, and the white light in the bead flows like clouds and mist, making it dazzling and beautiful.

As soon as the beads come out, even if you don't hold them in your hands, you can still feel the vitality overflowing from them. It is pleasant to smell and refreshing.

"It's really a magic weapon of vitality!"

Wen Tianhai, who had remained silent, couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

But the ownership of the baby is really a problem.

Logically speaking, it was Zhang Zheng who first discovered the baby, and the baby should belong to her, but it happened that several people present also witnessed the birth of the baby.

On the surface, the world of cultivation emphasizes morality, but in fact, it is not uncommon for people to kill people and seize treasures behind the scenes.

It's okay if there are only one or two people, but at worst, they have to risk their lives and have a big fight, and whoever wins will get the magic weapon.

But now there are eight people here, all of them are elite disciples of Wanxuanmen. They have always been upright and upright. Now that they are gathered together, they can't do anything to steal people's opportunities.

Lin Yihan smiled with a pity. He couldn't get such a treasure in front of him, so how could he be willing to do so!

However, he couldn't be in such a stalemate, so he could only lament that he had no chance of finding the treasure, and said calmly: "Since the treasure was discovered by Junior Sister Zhang Zheng first, it should be owned by Junior Sister Zhang Zheng."

When the other people heard this, they didn't object.

Seeing the deep reluctance and pity hidden in the eyes of several people, Zhang Zheng knew that even if she kept the treasure now, she would be in big trouble later when the news spread that she was pregnant with the treasure.

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.

Zhang Zheng was well aware of this, but she felt really unhappy when she was asked to give up her magic weapon and let the people in front of her get an advantage.

Furthermore, uneven distribution of spoils can easily lead to conflicts. Even if they hold grudges against each other, they will not be able to kill each other. Instead, they will easily point the finger at themselves, the powerless outer disciple.

Zhang Zheng waved her hands in fear and refused, "I am lucky to be protected by him and survive. Zhang Zheng really cannot bear this kind of magic weapon."

"Senior brothers and sisters are broad-minded and upright. I feel deeply ashamed and would like to follow my example. Zhang Zheng voluntarily handed over this treasure to the sect in the hope of making some insignificant contribution to the people of the world."
