My construction materials are weird

"What's up?"

Sun Tong, who entered the room, said, "Master Xuan, just now, Chief Gao Xiaolan of the Town Evil Department called, the Strange Alley has appeared again, and it has swallowed a pedestrian street. The situation is extremely critical, and Chief Xu Ruyi is asking for assistance."

"Strange Alley?"

Xuan Huang was stunned. This guy hadn't appeared in a long time.

When he first came to the mountain, it was this guy who was making waves, making him feel that his strength was improving very slowly.

But later, especially after he went down the mountain, the Strange Alley disappeared.

He didn't expect it to appear again after a month.

The Strange Alley has been confirmed to be Tier 2, and it is very difficult to deal with and has no fixed body.

In the past, when it was causing trouble, its walls had been attacked many times, and even the walls had been broken by spiritual masters many times, but unfortunately, it never worked.

It would reappear soon after, and even if it was weakened, it would not affect its destructive ability.

"Okay, I'll go there immediately."

Xuan Huang didn't hesitate and quickly turned into a rainbow light and headed towards the pedestrian street where the incident occurred.

"Did you see that?"

On the lively Qingyun Mountain Square, the gathered crowd noticed the figure flying out of Xuan Huang's courtyard.

"It's Master Xuan."

"As expected, he can travel through the air. His extraordinary will allows him to fly away from the earth. Sure enough."

"Is this Master Xuan? So handsome."

Some female cultivators and female martial artists couldn't help but sigh. Such a man is worth having.

"Let's not talk about whether he's handsome or not. I wonder what Master Xuan is rushing out for?"

"I heard the news. The Strange Alley has appeared, and the Town Evil Department has come to ask Master Xuan for support," said a well-informed cultivator.

"Is that the Strange Alley that was recently marked as Tier 2?"

"Yes, it's it. It appeared in Nanshi before, and Nanshi suffered heavy losses, but it has disappeared for nearly a month, and now it has appeared again."

"Tier 2, that's a disaster. I hope Master Xuan can handle it."

For a time, everyone felt a little heavy.

Coming to Qingyun Mountain these past few days felt like entering a new world, as if strange disasters were far away.

Now, they vaguely realized that the crisis was still there, but someone was guarding them, bearing the burden and moving forward.

"Whether it's our martial arts or immortal arts, Master Xuan is supporting it all by himself. Fellow Taoists, the road ahead is bright, but the road ahead is also full of crises. We need to work hard to cultivate and support a sky of our own. We cannot relax."

Everyone was silent, but their mentality obviously changed a little.

On the other side.

The spiritual masters of the Town Evil Department, who were evacuating the crowd, felt a strong aura approaching from the sky.

In an instant, they saw the rainbow light appearing in front of Xu Ruyi.

Xu Ruyi had long known that Xuan Huang, who had an extraordinary will, could fly, but he was still shocked by how fast he was.

"Master Xuan."

Xu Ruyi greeted him.

"How is the situation?"

Xu Ruyi said, "The situation is very bad. Nearly 300 people are trapped inside. It's good that you're here. I plan to go in myself. You and Chief Gao and others will guard outside. If I don't come out in a short time, you can decide according to the situation."

"Chief Gao..." Xu Ruyi was about to arrange it after speaking.

"Wait, Chief Xu, I'm not familiar with the people from the Town Evil Department, and there may be omissions in mutual cooperation. Why don't you stay outside and I'll go in and take a look."

"What?" Xu Ruyi paused.

"This is a Tier 2 strange creature?"

Xuan Huang didn't joke and said it directly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm very sure. I won't joke with my own life, and I won't joke with the lives of the 300 people who are trapped."

Gao Xiaolan, who had already heard the conversation between the two, did not speak, but kept looking at them.

"Okay."

Saving people is like putting out a fire. Xu Ruyi didn't think for too long and agreed after hesitating for a while.

Although he hadn't been in contact with Xuan Huang for a long time, Xuan Huang's stable image was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Be careful."

Xu Ruyi said to Xuan Huang.

"Don't worry."

Xuan Huang smiled at him, indicating that he was relieved.

Immediately, he flashed and entered the misty world.

"Um, just based on Master Xuan's lightning-fast speed, I believe he didn't lie. Ordinary strange creatures can't trap him," Gao Xiaolan suddenly said confidently after seeing Xuan Huang disappear in a flash.

"This? Indeed."

Xu Ruyi agreed. He didn't even notice the speed at which he entered the misty world. It was indeed fast.

...

Entering the pedestrian street covered by the rules of the Strange Alley.

As soon as he entered, he heard shouts, cries for help, and miserable screams, panicked breathing, and various shattering sounds.

The dark ground was covered in scarlet, blood was spilled all over the ground, and even broken limbs could be seen.

Under the exploration of his will, Xuan Huang could see a trace of energy formed by fear, floating into the impenetrable darkness.

Xuan Huang immediately summoned the Void Blade.

The Void Blade trembled every time it appeared, representing that its master was going to fight alongside it again. As a killing weapon, it was very eager for this kind of scene.

"Absorb the power of fear."

Xuan Huang instructed the Void Blade.

The Void Blade also has the ability to absorb fear and grow stronger, and after being strengthened by abilities such as Soul Shock, Devour, and Soul Extinction, it has become extremely proficient.

Suddenly, strands of fear formed like rivers, following the traces of the void.

"Pa la pa la!"

At this time.

A rolling sound was particularly clear, even covering the cries and screams coming from the surrounding mist.

Xuan Huang looked up and saw a head rolling towards him.

The face of the head was bleeding from all seven orifices. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a red ball.

"Have you seen my body? I'm in so much pain. Where did my body go? Did you see it?"

Words with soul impact and hallucination came from the head's mouth.

If it weren't for Xuan Huang here, but an ordinary person, their soul would have collapsed.

"Didn't see it."

Xuan Huang replied.

"Have you seen my body? I'm in so much pain. Where did my body go? Did you see it?"

It was still the same words and the same soul impact.

It turned out to be a mechanical repetition of words. Xuan Huang thought he could have a conversation.

This kind of method can deal with ordinary people, but it's useless to him.

"I know, you took my body away. Return it to me, return it to me..."

Suddenly, black smoke began to emerge from the bleeding orifices of the head, whistling and rushing towards Xuan Huang.

"Boom!"

It happened to rush onto the Void Blade that Xuan Huang had cleaved out, and with a boom! It was scattered.

"Isn't it just absorbing some power of fear? You actually sent lackeys to deal with me. That's easy to handle. Keep absorbing."

Xuan Huang knew that the appearance of this head was because the Void Blade was absorbing the power of fear.

This is equivalent to stealing food from the Strange Alley, so the head appeared.

Immediately, Xuan Huang's will covered the Void Blade, letting it absorb.

Originally, Xuan Huang had just entered, and since it was a Tier 2 strange creature, he couldn't find the main body of the Strange Alley for a while.

The fog was too thick, like a ghost hitting a wall. He could hear many people's miserable cries and calls for help, but when you looked for them, they might not be real people.

Without a clear target, Xuan Huang was still thinking about using his domain to try.

He didn't expect that the guy couldn't help but come out when the Void Blade absorbed the power of fear.

As the Void Blade's absorption of the power of fear increased.

"Boom, whirr--"

He only heard dense sounds coming like drumbeats.

Looking up, good heavens.

Heads, hands, legs, buttocks, and… well, all sorts of body parts were tumbling and crawling, assaulting Xuan Huang as if in a siege.

“To be honest, I fear group attacks the least.”

Xuan Huang smiled slightly. If it wasn't the main body of the Strange Alleyway personally surrounding and killing him, such methods were useless against him.

The Great Grinding Wheel, the Furnace, the Jianmu Tree—which of them wasn't adept at dealing with group attacks?

“Furnace, come on out.”

Although the Furnace was growing in a sneaky manner, the Great Grinding Wheel of the Ruin had the power to refine the Ruin with magic stones, and the Jianmu Tree was already invincible at the first level, only lacking a qualitative change to enter the second level.

The sneaky Furnace was just focused on secretly eating and developing, unable to keep up.

No mistake, one head, one first, one inner, one appearance, one existence, one look!

So many flesh and blood bodies, even if they were incomplete, were enough for the Furnace to have a big meal.

“Rumble!”

The increasingly solid bronze furnace appeared, with three legs and two ears, shimmering with flowing light, looking quite extraordinary.

It had just become familiar with Senior Spirit Suppression Tablet and was getting acquainted when it was summoned out.

Damn Strange Alleyway, the Furnace will never coexist with you, I'll devour, I'll devour.

“Whirr!” It was like a tornado had been stirred up.

Dense and numerous incomplete body parts were being frantically devoured by the Furnace.

The Furnace seemed like a bottomless pit, quickly swallowing whatever came its way.

And inside the Furnace, golden flames permeated, and the hammer formed by the twisted will of heaven, stored here, struck with a deafening roar.

The entering incomplete limbs were smashed into powder by the huge hammer of heavenly will. This was the hammer of heavenly will that Xuan Huang used to hammer himself.

The Furnace, after being powered up, was used to hammer the incomplete limbs, so there was no return for anything that entered. No matter how much entered, it was all a matter of one hammer strike.

However, the scattered incomplete true intent was quickly absorbed by the Furnace, constantly solidifying its own true intent.

It seemed that it wasn't a loss after all; so much true intent was a gain.

The Furnace rumbled, and the true intent rapidly condensed, making the entire bronze furnace visibly more solid.

It had succeeded in secretly eating again, its aura advancing towards the late stage of the first level.

Regardless of how it was defined, its three treasures represented essence, energy, and spirit. Essence corresponded to the Heaven and Earth Furnace, energy corresponded to the Tongtian Jianmu Tree, and spirit corresponded to the Great Grinding Wheel of the Ruin.

These three treasures currently showed obvious differences, different destinies.

Spirit, the Great Grinding Wheel of the Ruin, was indeed the representative of great supernatural powers, with the most methods, and the power of the Ruin was being refined by it.

Energy, the Tongtian Jianmu Tree, was indeed the representative of being favored by fortune, with all kinds of heaven-defying luck, the corpse-devouring tree, connecting to the inner world, suppressing the heavenly spiritual energy of Qingyun Mountain.

Essence, the Heaven and Earth Furnace, seemed to only be able to silently devour various essences, vital blood, etc. There was fortune, but not much; there were great supernatural powers, but not many… It could only work diligently, being engraved with the Gate of Heaven by Xuan Huang, following Xuan Huang in various tempering, and silently eating on the side, developing in a sneaky manner.

Its two companions were constantly ascending and improving, only it was steadily advancing step by step, never rapidly strengthening.

Just like now, it had improved again.

But using too much force, only to see that after the dense and numerous remnants were swept away.

“Rumble!”

The Strange Alleyway was enraged.

This was its energy, and it had all disappeared.

Every remnant was a brick that made up its structure.

The mist gradually thickened, so thick that one couldn't see their fingers, and it carried the tearing of the divine soul and the impact of will.

It was as if it wasn't dense fog, but the condensation of countless wronged souls.

Xuan Huang put away the Furnace, held the Void Saber, and maximized his will, searching for the hidden presence within.

The strangeness of the second level was very difficult to deal with. Unlike spirit masters who were congenitally disabled, the strangeness of the second level could exert its maximum strength.

The current Xuan Huang didn't have the ability to suppress and kill it.

“Buzz!”

A heaven-covering bone giant hand stretched out from the mist, pressing down on Xuan Huang with one hand.

Xuan Huang didn't dodge, and met it with his saber.

“Clang clang, crack crack—”

“Rumble!”

Xuan Huang used all his strength to resist the enormous force, but was still pressed into the mud. Fortunately, his body was covered with will, and his qi and blood were condensed, so he didn't suffer any damage.

He was just pressed into the ground.

“Boom!”

Xuan Huang pushed hard with his legs and instantly jumped out of the mud pit.

Xuan Huang was very puzzled.

What other abilities did this Strange Alleyway have? The first thing he heard was that entering would lead to getting lost, and living beings would crash into the walls themselves, becoming a brick in the wall.

Just now, upon entering, he discovered that the Strange Alleyway could also absorb fear and grow.

It could even disassemble itself, turning bricks into remnants to besiege him, and the mist also had a divine soul impact and a will impact.

At this moment, even a physical heaven-covering bone giant hand had appeared.

What else could it do? How could it have so many abilities?

This simply didn't seem like the abilities that a single strangeness could possess.

“Could this be a combined type of strangeness? Is there not only one Strange Alleyway, but also others?”

Xuan Huang couldn't help but suspect.

“Buzz!”

The heaven-covering bone giant hand, carrying the impact of the divine soul and a heavy attack, came towards Xuan Huang again.

“Boom!”

Xuan Huang once again met it without dodging, testing the abilities of his body.

Don't look at him as if he doesn't pay attention to his body, but his body is very strong, just lacking an opponent.

With the protection of will and the coverage of qi and blood, even the bone giant hand couldn't cause him serious damage. Xuan Huang planned to experiment to the limit, to see what other means the Strange Alleyway had.

This time, he must investigate its secrets.

On the other side!

“Minister, look, the mist is shrinking.”

The mist that covered the entire street was shrinking, revealing the dazed and frightened people.

They were being hunted down by various remnants, some being impacted by the mist's divine soul to crash into the walls, but suddenly, these strange things disappeared.

Although this place was still cold and biting, their sanity gradually returned, and the monsters and remnants that were chasing them were gone.

“Help, help!”

A chain reaction started, with one person shouting for help, and the terrified survivors all began to shout for help.

“Quick, quick, save people, quickly move them away.”

Xu Ruyi didn't know what Xuan Huang had done. The mist was shrinking, but it was denser.

As for the people who had been devoured, apart from those who had already met with misfortune, the rest seemed to have been abandoned, as if the Strange Alleyway was gathering its strength to deal with others, and these people had been abandoned.

Following Xu Ruyi's shouts, the surrounding spirit masters and auxiliary personnel quickly moved forward, cautiously lifting or supporting the surviving humans, and quickly transferring them outside the pedestrian street.

Roughly counting, there were nearly two hundred people.

This meant that at least nearly a hundred people wouldn't be able to get out, or had already become a blood brick.

“Where is Master Xuan?”

After the transfer was completed, Xu Ruyi stared at the dense black mist.

She only felt the black mist rising, like dark clouds pressing down, and the dark clouds were shaking violently, with loud noises coming from inside, like thunder in the dark clouds.

“Master Xuan hasn't come out yet, what should we do, Minister?”

Xu Ruyi looked at the dense fog and said after a while: “Wait.”

“Wait?”

The spirit masters were puzzled.

“Yes, we can only wait. Master Xuan said that if he wants to leave, no strangeness can keep him. Now that the people have been rescued, and Master Xuan hasn't come out yet, and the Strange Alleyway is compressing the range of strangeness it covers, it should be Master Xuan's doing.”

She added: “So we can only wait, and trust Master Xuan. If we enter, not to mention the danger, it might disrupt Master Xuan's plan.”
