But as soon as Li Yan finished speaking, he shook his head at Yu Yuanjun and shouted, "You, lead the way quickly!"
At the same time, Yu Yuanjun heard Li Yan's voice in his mind, "You don't need to do anything now, just lead us out of the town!"
Then Li Yan took the lead and walked towards the courtyard gate. Yu Yuanjun was stunned for a moment, but seemed to realize something. He hurried forward with his head lowered, looking as if he dared not say anything more.
However, his gaze inadvertently swept across the room where the five monks of the "Qingling Sect" were. There was also spiritual awareness coming from there, which revealed confusion and doubt, thinking that some misunderstanding had occurred between Li Yan and Jiao Hua.
But when Li Yan squinted his eyes and glanced in the direction of the room of the five monks of the "Qingling Sect", the five spiritual senses immediately shrank back in panic as if they were afraid of snakes and scorpions.
The several cultivators in charge of vigilance in the courtyard all looked at each other in surprise, also not knowing what had happened. But when they saw that Jiao Hua did not say anything, they thought that this demon cultivator named Li and Jiao Hua seemed to be confirming something, so they did not dare to stop him.
Just as Li Yan and his companions were walking towards the gate, three spiritual senses fell directly on them. Li Yan seemed not to feel anything and continued to walk towards the gate.
The three spiritual senses then swept towards the room where Jiao Hua was. Seeing that Jiao Hua still did not move, they finally withdrew their spiritual senses after hesitation.
In a room, a short and strong demon cultivator opened his eyes and looked towards the yard. His eyes were full of confusion. Then he turned to look at another demon cultivator who was sitting cross-legged on the side.
"What do you think? Why does it seem like Jiao Hua and Li Daoyou have a disagreement over something?"
Another demon cultivator frowned and thought for a while, "Fellow Daoist Jiao has not come out, but from Fellow Daoist Li's tone, it seems that Fellow Daoist Jiao's words touched upon Fellow Daoist Li's taboo. This is really hard to guess."
The room fell into a brief silence for a moment, but then the voice of the short and strong demon cultivator rang out.
"Forget it. Since Fellow Daoist Jiao is willing to let the other party verify something, why should we worry about it? Now the two of them seem to be angry. It won't be too late to ask them tomorrow."
Then, the room returned to its original calm.
At this moment, the demon cultivator in another room, who had failed to team up with Li Yan before, had already sneered in his heart.
"What kind of complications have arisen from the uneven distribution of benefits? They are willing to find a reason to make a fuss. I think that Li is lacking in character." After sneering, he closed his eyes again.
But no matter how they thought about it, they didn't think that Jiao Hua was dead. First of all, they had confirmed Li Yan's identity.
The most important thing is that no one here thought that Jiao Hua could be subdued by Li Yan in such a short time without any warning and in the same courtyard with them.
If this step can be achieved, perhaps only a cultivator above the level of a demon can accomplish it without anyone noticing.
With this cognitive condition, the scope of their suspicion had long been limited, and Li Yan just went out.
At this time, Li Yan and his six companions were already walking on the street. Only at this moment did Bai Rou and the other four feel relieved. However, they were more curious about what means Li Yan had used to capture Jiao Hua in such a short time.
"Poison, only poison can be so silent. Even formations cannot do this. If Jiao Hua was imprisoned by the formation set up by Li Yan, then the sound of the attack should have been loud by now."
But even so, after having this idea, King Hu Xiao and Yan Feijun were horrified.
They were all experts in using poison. Although they thought they had a way to poison Jiao Hua, who was a cultivator of the same level, it was absolutely impossible to do it so silently in such a short period of time.
"It must be some high-level poison pill given by Uncle Wei!" This was the final conclusion of the two.
But Bai Rou and Sun Guoshu had different ideas in their minds. They felt that Li Yan should be able to do all this. At least Sun Guoshu no longer thought that Li Yan was as mediocre as he usually seemed.
Yu Yuanjun, who was walking in the front, glanced at Li Yan from the corner of his eye from time to time. He was also wondering what kind of tricks this demon cultivator used on Jiao Hua, as not only did he not stop them at all, he even acquiesced.
When he was leaving the courtyard just now, he was even prepared to act according to the circumstances. If things were impossible, in order to save his life, he could even say directly that he was forced by Li Yan and others.
Although he was sure that Li Yan and his five companions were here to rescue him, he couldn't let himself be put in danger for the sake of these five people. But in the end, he walked out of the courtyard gate without any danger, which really made him break out in a cold sweat.
Although it is already midnight, the town is still bustling with people and the noise is endless.
"When we get to the town entrance, I will tell you, but you all need to be ready to take action at any time. The situation here is unpredictable."
As they moved forward, Li Yan's voice rang in the minds of the five people. The most important thing now was whether they could get out of "Zhou Yang Town".
Of course, Li Yan didn't know whether he could do it. Now that the situation here has changed, it would be troublesome if he only allowed people to enter but not exit.
"This is the most critical step in whether we can leave safely. We can only try our luck." King Hu Xiao said helplessly at this time.
They have now completed almost half of their mission, but the return journey is still uncertain.
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing. They walked very fast, and after just a few dozen breaths, they had already rushed to the town entrance in the crowd. At this time, there was still a flash of light across the night sky outside the town entrance from time to time, and then several people or one person would run towards the front of the town entrance.
At this time, there are still demon cultivators gathering here.
When Li Yan and his group of six arrived at the town entrance, they seemed a little out of place as they were going in the opposite direction of the many monks who passed by them.
Li Yan thought to himself, "Oh no, this must be the worst possible situation!" Now it is obvious that one only needs to enter and not exit.
But at this point, I have to give it a try anyway.
"Where are you going?" Just when Li Yan and his six companions were still a short distance away from the town entrance, a cold voice suddenly rang out, and then four demon cultivators surrounded them.
"We just received a distress message. The missing member of our team is not dead, but just seriously injured. We need to go and rescue him immediately." Li Yan took the lead and came to the four people, and he said in a deep voice.
Behind him, except Yu Yuanjun, the other four people had quietly dispersed, with anxious looks on their faces, and kept looking outside the town.
Seeing this scene, Yu Yuanjun, who was the last one to come, couldn't help but feel sweat in his palms, his throat was extremely dry, and he was extremely nervous.
"Are you really going to force your way out? There is a demon in this town. I will die here."
For a moment, Yu Yuanjun hesitated, looking at the people coming and going around him. He estimated that as soon as they started to make a move, he would be drowned in countless fireworks in a moment, but he did not want to die here immediately.
"Missing team members? Where did they disappear? Have you reported it since you arrived?" At this time, the leader of the four demon cultivators looked Li Yan and the others up and down and questioned.
"Oh, we were ambushed by human monks when we were six hundred miles away from here, and now we received a distress message that the person is about two hundred miles away from here. It's still in time for us to go over to meet them, and we'll be back soon. As for reporting? We have already reported in the third area this afternoon." Li Yan answered anxiously.
"Since you have already reported, didn't the Demon Lord tell you anything?" The leading demon cultivator looked at the other three demon cultivators quietly, and a sharp light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Li Yan reacted very quickly. His anxious expression dimmed and he could only mutter angrily, "Sure enough, there is no room for compromise. He can only hope for the best and hope to meet another team."
After saying that, Li Yan retreated back to the street he came from with an unwilling look on his face, and Hu Xiaowang and the others who had just dispersed followed him silently.
The four demon cultivators saw that the other party was not unaware of the order, but just wanted to try to go out, so they stepped back wisely and did not step forward to question him again.
After Li Yan and his companions retreated a distance, Yu Yuanjun was stunned, with a thousand questions in his mind, "So... so... we're not going to leave?"
But he immediately felt fortunate. Could it be that he really couldn't break in by force? The demon cultivator guarding the town entrance had obviously become suspicious, so he managed to save his life temporarily.
“It seems that I can only find another opportunity to leave. However, if Jiao Hua shows up at any time, I will…” Yu Yuanjun’s mind was full of mixed thoughts for a moment.
But at this moment, Li Yan's words rang in his mind, "Are you all ready?"
Yu Yuanjun looked up in confusion and saw the strange demon cultivator in front of him looking at him and his friends. When Yu Yuanjun thought he had heard wrong, he saw King Hu Xiao beside him nodded slightly.
Then Yan Feijun on the side showed excitement and nervousness in his eyes, while Bai Rou and Sun Guoshu took a deep breath. Yu Yuan and Yu Yuanjun's heart, which had just been put at ease, was hung again.
"They... they, they are... they are really trying to force their way in. No, they will definitely not be able to get out. They will probably be blasted into a pile of meat paste before they even leave the town. Are these people stupid? Oh, right, that forbidden token..."
At this moment, Yu Yuanjun was thinking about his own tragic ending in the next moment. He didn't want to follow this group of brainless people to die. He didn't know how the ancestor selected these people. He had to wait for an opportunity to get the restriction token.
"But... maybe, when these people rush to the town entrance, I might be able to escape in the chaos. But, damn, that forbidden token..."
Although it was only a breath, countless possibilities and plans flashed through Yu Yuanjun's mind, but he couldn't think of a plan that would satisfy him.
Just when he was a little dazed, he suddenly saw the monk who had just nodded, inadvertently raised his arm and pointed at him. At the same time, he remembered the voice of King Hu Xiao in his mind.
"Swallow them now, or you will die here later." There were many people on the street, and King Hu Xiao's small action did not attract anyone's attention.
Yu Yuanjun was stunned. Several things had been stuffed into his hands. He looked down and saw that they were green pills the size of soybeans, five in total.
"This..." Yu Yuanjun didn't know what Li Yan and the others were doing at this moment. At this moment, he saw the middle-aged woman and another cultivator raised their hands and covered their mouths.
Yu Yuanjun realized that the two men were swallowing pills.
At this time, Li Yan patted Yu Yuanjun's shoulder impatiently, and then whispered in his ear, "If you don't want to die, just do as they do and swallow the pill quickly."
