I can bless thousands of magical powers

The prey for the Divine Nest to sacrifice or save must be a corpse.

That is to say, as long as there is still a breath, Zhang Yuan's sacrifice and salvation will fail.

This means that the guy who just poisoned himself in front of him is either not dead yet or pretending to be dead!

Zhang Yuan thinks it is the latter.

In fact, this is not the first opponent who pretended to be dead in front of him.

Zhang Yuan shook his head, looked at the tracker who was motionless on the ground in front of him, and swung the general's knife again.

A sharp blade flashed, and the opponent's head and body were instantly separated.

Previously, Zhang Yuan had the idea of ​​capturing alive and forcing a confession, but now he has no interest at all.

What is surprising is that there is not a drop of blood from the tracker's broken neck, and his bones and flesh are an abnormal green color.

Not only that, the whole body is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Swish!

The clothes were torn apart.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately flew backwards.

There was only a muffled "bang" sound, and the swollen corpse suddenly exploded, and the thick corpse gas mixed with fragments of human tissue flew everywhere.

The surrounding grass and trees were instantly contaminated.

And these grass and trees immediately withered and decayed, and emitted a foul smell.

Because Zhang Yuan retreated in advance and pulled away, he was not contaminated at all.

But he also felt quite disgusting.

At the same time, his vigilance was greatly aroused.

No matter who sent the other party, their strength should not be underestimated.

Because such a cruel and vicious dead man cannot be cultivated by ordinary forces!

I don’t know why, the ugly and arrogant face of Xuan Xin, the steward of the inner hall of the Heavenly King Hall, appeared in Zhang Yuan’s mind.

Could it be this guy?

Very likely!

And if his guess is correct, then I am afraid I have to re-evaluate the threat level of the other party.

Zhang Yuan suppressed the slight ripples in his heart and continued to move towards his destination.

Such an unexpected situation is far from enough to make him change his course!

In the following days, Zhang Yuan frequently went in and out of Taiwu Mountain to collect herbs and sell them in Xucheng.

The herbs he collected were all good.

Either the herbs themselves were of high value, or they were of high age, or they were both of high value and high age.

He brought back a large bag at a time and exchanged it for a large sum of silver.

In Xucheng, the renovation of Zhang Yuan's residence was also in full swing.

The progress could be seen every day!

In this way, until the end of the hunting season of half a month, Zhang Yuan did not encounter any accidents.

It seemed that the enemy hiding behind the scenes had stopped.

However, Zhang Yuan not only did not let down his guard, but always maintained a high level of vigilance.

When the first snow fell after the beginning of winter, he stopped going into the mountains to collect herbs.

After a few days, the reconstruction of the new house was declared completed.

Because Zhang Yuan required a very tight deadline and high requirements, he spent all the fifty taels of gold he had paid before, and paid an additional one hundred and fifty taels.

But the result made Zhang Yuan very satisfied.

After the two houses were connected, the area of ​​the courtyard was expanded to almost three times the previous size, and the ground was paved with hard and thick Qinggang slabs, which were both flat and durable.

Zhang Yuan lived alone and had no intention of hiring servants.

So half of the original wing room was demolished, a well was filled, and two courtyard trees were dug up.

This new courtyard, which served as a private martial arts field, was enough for him to show off his skills and practice swordsmanship!

As for the bedroom and other rooms, there were not many changes.

Zhang Yuan was not particular about it.

In short, after spending so much money, his home in Xiaxu basically met his needs.

In this long winter, Zhang Yuan's goal was to first practice the "Hunyuan Tiangang Zhengfa" and then master the first three swords in the "Fengyun Jiudao".

By then, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

On the third day of moving into the new house, Zhang Yuan suddenly received a message from the Heavenly King Hall.

In fact, the place where he lived was not far from the Heavenly King Hall, and it didn't take much time even if he walked.

But the Heavenly King Hall used kite letters or talismans to pass on messages or issue notices.

No matter how far away they were.

The content of this kite letter was very simple, notifying him to attend the Outer Hall Guardian Monthly Meeting tomorrow night.

Zhang Yuan was somewhat confused about this.

He had only attended the Guardian Monthly Meeting once before, and then never went again.

The Guardian Monthly Meeting was a regular meeting for the Outer Hall Guardians to communicate with each other, and usually there were new Taoist tasks assigned.

But whether to attend or not was entirely up to personal will, and there was no mandatory requirement.

Similarly, there would be no special notification.

Anyway, the time and place of the monthly meeting were fixed.

Therefore, this was the first time Zhang Yuan received a notice to attend the meeting.

After thinking about it, he still arrived at the second floor of Chunfeng Pavilion on time the next night.

What surprised Zhang Yuan was that there were more than 30 people attending the Guardian Monthly Meeting tonight, and there were also three Outer Hall managers including Xuan Yong.

It can be said that there were a lot of people.

Among these people, Zhang Yuan knew very few.

None of them were familiar.

Han Zixun was not there either.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yuan chose a seat in the corner and sat down, ready to be a spectator.

In contrast, the other outer hall guardians were much more lively with each other, some chatting and laughing, some exchanging pleasantries, and some whispering to each other.

The atmosphere was very lively.

"Zhao Protector, we meet again."

Just as Zhang Yuan was drinking by himself, a soft voice suddenly sounded beside him.

The next moment, a fragrance came, and a charming woman sat down in the empty seat next to him.

However, Zhang Yuan frowned at this unexpected "good fortune".

Because this woman was Xun Lingling!

Zhang Yuan didn't have a good impression of her.

When Zhang Yuan first attended the monthly meeting of the protectors, Xun Lingling showed a strong interest in him.

She even wanted to pester Zhang Yuan.

Fortunately, Xuancheng came forward to help Zhang Yuan solve this trouble.

Xun Lingling did not look for him later.

Unexpectedly, this woman with a smoky look and a seductive manner came over again tonight.

Zhang Yuan put down his wine glass and said coldly: "Xun Protector, what can I do for you?"

"Zhao Protector, don't you really know what I want?"

Xun Lingling smiled charmingly, her eyes full of charm, and immediately attracted many eyes around her.

Zhang Yuan replied expressionlessly: "I'll go back and ask your cousin."

Xun Lingling's cousin is Xuancheng!

"Are you talking about my cousin Xuancheng?"

Xun Lingling sighed and said: "He has been in seclusion. I'm afraid he won't be able to come out for a year or two."

Xuancheng is in seclusion!

This is something Zhang Yuan had never expected.

"Heh."

Xun Lingling chuckled.

She leaned close to Zhang Yuan's ear and whispered: "I heard that the manager Xuanxin is looking for trouble with you!"
