Chapter 700: Chapter 0700: The Mysterious Courtyard

Luo Yang actually felt curious, wondering why Qi Xiangtian would choose this place as a hiding spot.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

He looked around carefully again, but didn’t find any suspicious houses or temples.

If the founder of the Ying Zhao Yan Xing Sect was sealed here, there would definitely be a different kind of house or marker.

After leaving the village and returning to Hong Jiaxin and the others, Luo Yang shared his observations with them.

So everyone headed up the mountain together.

With more people, the sinister atmosphere of the village was reduced.

Humans are social animals, timid when alone; bolder in numbers.

There is strength in numbers, and courage too.

They had wanted to find a local to ask about any peculiarities of the village.

But the entire village had relocated, making it difficult to find someone to inquire.

Upon entering the village, everyone looked around, as if they were considering purchasing land and deciding which plot was better.

Previously, Luo Yang was only concerned about whether there were any thugs lurking around and hadn’t thought about immediately looking for the Half Demon.

At this moment, Grandma Liu said, "Wandering around blindly is pointless."

Luo Yang suddenly remembered the Soul Beast living in his sea of consciousness and asked in his mind, "Can you check if there is any demon nearby?"

The Soul Beast replied, "Master, please wait a moment."

Within a few hundred meters, the Soul Beast could sense the presence of any demons.

After a while, the Soul Beast said, "Master, there should be a large graveyard behind this village, and the demon is there."

Luo Yang was startled when he heard this.

Just now, he had walked to the end of the village but hadn’t seen any graveyard.

"Follow me," Luo Yang led the way.

Everyone, not knowing where he was heading, could only follow behind.

Upon reaching the end of the village again, Luo Yang realized that the path, which was hidden by overgrown vines and plants and not carefully inspected before, indeed led to an unknown and mysterious place.

If one didn’t look closely, it would be difficult to notice that there was a path.

The wild grass on both sides had already grown to half a person’s height, nearly obscuring the path.

"Be careful," Luo Yang cautioned.

The group progressed in a winding fashion, walking hundreds of meters, and indeed saw a slope covered with scattered mounds of earth that marked the location of Mass Grave Hill.

The villagers’ graves?

Luo Yang was quite curious.

On the slope, there stood a building resembling a temple, surrounded by a wall, its surface spotty and peeling.

"The demon is inside there!" Luo Yang pointed ahead.

The others were skeptical, unclear about how he knew this.

Luo Yang had not told anyone that the Soul Beast lived in his sea of consciousness, lest it frighten them.

After all, ordinary people would find such mysterious matters difficult to accept.

"Are you sure?" asked Grandma Liu.

Before answering, Luo Yang asked the Soul Beast in his mind and learned the demon was nearby.

There were no other buildings around, nor any dense forests.

"Yes," Luo Yang nodded.

Then the group quietly approached the large courtyard.

Among the group, Hong Jiaxin had the weakest combat ability.

Luo Yang gestured for Hong Jiaxin to follow behind him, pledging to protect her to the best of his ability.

As they approached, they discovered the wall was about 3 meters tall.

A normal person would find it difficult to climb inside, but Luo Yang could easily leap into the courtyard.

His Shadowless Kick had broken through to the second layer, allowing him to kick eighteen times in midair.

With each kick upwards, his body could rise about 0.5 meters.

Eighteen kicks, that would be roughly 9 meters.

This was the ideal calculation.

In practice, reaching a height of seven or eight meters was no problem.

The 3-meter-high wall appeared quite low in front of Luo Yang.

The crowd circled around to the front gate only to find it tightly shut.

There was not a sound from inside, creating an eerie silence that was discomforting.

If it had been any other child here, they probably would’ve been clinging to their mother’s legs by now, if not already crying.

But Little Huizi was quite composed, exhibiting none of the panic one would expect from someone her age.

Luo Yang very much wanted to directly ask Little Huizi about her true identity, but knowing he wouldn’t get a real answer, he let it be.

Everyone stood still, pricking up their ears to listen. Apart from the birds chirping nearby, there was silence.

Luo Yang then reached out and pushed against the thick wooden gate, half expecting it to be immovable.

To his surprise, it creaked open!

This startled Hong Jiaxin, causing her to tremble slightly.

Luo Yang looked back at her nervous expression and laughed, "It’s okay."

At times like this, people are easily frightened out of their wits.

As long as the atmosphere isn’t too tense, the timid won’t be overly scared.

Hong Jiaxin wasn’t particularly faint-hearted, but her complexion did turn a shade paler under these circumstances.

Among the group, aside from Luo Yang who would protect Hong Jiaxin, Zhang Jing would as well.

Luo Yang knew Zhang Jing intended to leave alive with Hong Jiaxin.

As for Grandma Liu and Little Huizi, they didn’t seem too concerned about Hong Jiaxin’s life or death.

The wooden gate was only partially open, but with another firm push from both hands by Luo Yang, it swung wide open.

From the entrance, the courtyard inside was in disarray, covered in a thick layer of withered leaves that gave off a musty odor.

Standing at the doorway, one could faintly sense a chill emanating from within.

Luo Yang shot a glance at Zhang Jing and the grandparents, signaling them to prepare for an attack.

When it comes to dealing with unclean things, the three mysterious guests are more adept.

Actually, Luo Yang was nervous as well, but with Hong Jiaxin by his side, he had to act completely fearless, lest it affect her mood.

Emotions are contagious.

Scaring someone can indeed scare them to death.

He had intended for Hong Jiaxin to wait at the entrance, but without anyone to protect her, it was even more dangerous.

Better to go in together.

Luo Yang turned back and made a gesture to the Left and Right Protectors, indicating that they should protect Hong Jiaxin.

The Left and Right Protectors nodded.

The strong-willed Hong Jiaxin pouted her red lips slightly; she didn’t want to seem weak in Luo Yang’s eyes.

Yet her skills and strength were indeed the weakest among them.

Luo Yang hadn’t even taught her the Shadowless Kick yet.

With everything arranged, Luo Yang led the way, Zhang Jing to the left, the grandparents to the right, Hong Jiaxin and the Left and Right Protectors following behind, as they poured into the courtyard.

This courtyard, not facing a shop or backing onto a village, was obviously built for a particular purpose.

As for what that was, perhaps only the villagers knew.

But there was no time to inquire now; they had to face the reality at hand.

As they entered the courtyard, a gust of mountain wind blew.

Curiously, the large wooden gate then swung closed with a creak of its own accord.

This sight whited out Hong Jiaxin’s face with fear.

Even the Left and Right Protectors were unnerved, looking at each other uneasily.

Among the group, unbelievably, it was Little Huizi who remained the most composed, looking as though she was out for a pleasant stroll, showing no sign of nervousness.

Grandma Liu and Zhang Jing were relatively calm as well, although they still seemed somewhat on edge.

"Come out!" Grandma Liu said coldly.

Suddenly, the light in the courtyard seemed to dim further, becoming even more ominous.

From inside the main house, a faint roaring sound could be heard.

Another strong gust of wind swept through, sending the dry leaves on the courtyard floor swirling into the air, filling the space with fluttering debris, and obstructing the view of the other side.

At that moment, a red light flashed forth.

It was Grandma Liu who had acted, her red light shooting forward and striking something with a loud bang.
