Chapter 9 Chapter Man is more terrifying than a demon

Inside the Medicine Master's Guan, Yun Que ordered all the Daoists to gather in the courtyard.

There were a dozen people in total, all of them not very old, and these people's gazes were wooden and lifeless, as if they were puppets on strings.

The only one who was a little older was a Daoist who always hung his head, his eyes averted.

Tell the rest to disperse.

Yun Que came to the elderly Taoist and said, "Where is the robbed woman, lead the way."

The Daoist's expression clearly appeared flustered as he secretly glanced at the Medicine Daoist, seeing that he did not command as if he had acquiesced to Yun Que's questioning, he had no choice but to nod his head and lead the way to a rockery in the backyard of the Medicine Master's Guan.

The Taoist fumbled and pressed the mechanism, and after a muffled sound, the dark door opened.

It turns out the wigwam was a passageway.

"You go first." Yun Que ordered.

The Daoist led the way with his head lowered and soon came close to a stone door.

When the stone door opened, a fishy stench hit his face!

The Taoist flashed in ahead of the others, and I don't know what he stuffed into his mouth, ate it, rolled to the side, and curled up in the corner and stopped moving.

It was a spacious chamber with simple furnishings, only a stone bed and a stone table.

The table was lit with an oil lamp.

In the faint light, a dead bone could be seen sitting on a stone bed.

The Medicine Man's essence!

Yun Que's guess was correct, the Medicine Daoist's main body was dead.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The rattle of spitting letters appeared as a hideous, monstrous snake crawled out of the darkness of the chamber!

These monstrous snakes were covered in silver scales and had scarlet eyes, exuding a cold and rotten qi.

As the strange snake appeared, the white bones piled up in the surrounding corners were squeezed and made an unbearable crunching sound.

It turned out that the women who had been plundered to the Medicine Man's View had long since become food for these strange snakes!

"Not just any snakes."

Old River was standing by with his sword in tight formation, looking grave.

Although he had occupied the body of the Medicine Taoist, he was unable to command these monstrous snakes.

"Demonic Beasts..."

Yun Que could feel the terrifying qi from the strange snake.

Under the siege of such a number of demonic beasts, a low-level Qi Refining Realm cultivator would never be able to survive.

These demonic snakes were used by the Medicine Taoist to guard the bones of his essence.

It devours the living when it encounters them.

The underground chamber of the Medicine Master's View had long since become a dead place!

"It seems that what you ate can close off your own breath, and you already knew that there are snake demons here." Yun Que glanced at the Taoist curled up in the corner.

"Whoever you are, don't think you'll get out alive." The Taoist made a slight sound, his tone filled with gloating.

Although there were many snake demons, they all surrounded Yun Que, ignoring the Taoist in the corner.

The body of the medicine man occupied by Old River was dead, so the snake demon was not interested.

Yun Que was a big living person and immediately became the preferred target of the snake demon.

Old River stepped in front, ready to fight to the death.

Facing the demonic beasts that surrounded him, Yun Que operated his sword vein.

"I don't know how to close my breath yet, but my breath, I don't think the snake demon will like it."

As the sword qi emanated, the snake demons that had already crawled to their feet suddenly did not move, and then shrunk their bodies like an electric shock and fled away.

For the sword qi that contained the power of the Death Tribulation, the Snake Demon would rather starve to death than taste it.

The odd behavior of the snake demon caused the daoist in the corner to be alarmed.

He would not cause the Snake Demon to attack by taking the Qi Closing Pill given by the Medicine Taoist himself.

But it never occurred to me that the young man on the other side hadn't eaten anything, and was able to make the snake demon retreat in fear!

Is he not alive!

The Daoist was in a state of shock when Yun Que came close to him, the longsword in his hand slowly raised.

"Tell me everything you know."

"I say! I say!"

The Taoist gave an honest account of everything.

It turned out that he was the master of the Medicine Master's Guan, a few years ago, this place was occupied by the Medicine Taoist, and he, the master of the Guan, became the servant of the Medicine Taoist, and was usually responsible for feeding the snake demons here.

As for where the Medicine Taoist came from, he didn't know anything about it.

Kicking a skeleton by his feet, Yun Que said with a wry smile, "Feeding snakes is just a matter of feeding snakes, yet all of them use young women, your Goddess of Mercy doesn't seem to be very interested in women."

Medicine Taoist is just a split, the five organs and six bowels are not, exactly not male or female, I think it will not care about men and women.

The Taoist stammered awkwardly for a while and said, "Young women are finer and more tender, and snake demons prefer to eat them."

"It's you who likes it better, I guess."

Yun Que picked up the skeletons and smiled, "How about it, do they taste sour or sweet, bitter or spicy?"

"This..."

The Taoist was sheepishly speechless.

With a click, Yun Que broke off a piece of the skeleton's bone and poked it directly into the Daoist's mouth.

"Eat it all and tell me how it tastes."

Sen Sen's words, like a ghost language, listening to the Taoist trembling, do not dare to spit it out, gnashing his teeth and gnawing on the white bones, a mouth of blood.

Yun Que began to look at the remains of the stone bed.

Rummage through a few things.

A wooden box, a vial, a token.

There were ten finger-length miniature small swords in the wooden box, and at a glance, they were not of low grade.

The token was small and extremely sturdy, with a snake engraved on the front and a circle of twelve zodiac signs on the back.

The vial was heavy, not knowing what it contained, and Yun Que was in no hurry to open it.

Other than that, there was nothing else near the remains.

After searching a few times, Yun Que frowned slightly.

With the realm of the Medicine Taoist, I'm afraid it's more than just these things.

The miniature small sword in the wooden box was only at the level of a magic weapon, and looked more like a kind of bait to fool the money-hungry.

With such a degree of treasure, along with the surrounding snake demons, anyone else might have been satisfied and left with their harvest long ago.

The cloud may be missing differently!

He was of marquis status and had seen too much gold and silver jewels since he was a child, so even when faced with the resources of the cultivation world, he had enough stamina.

Plus, the snake demons around him were now fearing him instead of threatening him, so he had enough time to find the Medicine Taoist's treasure.

The entire chamber was searched and nothing more was found.

Yun Que finally landed his gaze on the skeletal remains themselves.

Raising his hand to grab the skeleton, Yun Que operated his sword vein.

The sword qi invaded the remains along the palm of his hand, quickly enveloping it.

"Sword Qi Perception! Young Master is truly a wizard in sword cultivation." Old River beside him was filled with relief.

It had only been a day's work, and the young marquis, who was new to the Way of the Sword, had already mastered such profound means, so how could Old River not be pleased.

Soon, Yun Que noticed the difference.

A section of the remains' vertebrae was grabbed violently and ripped off with force.

Spreading out his hand, amongst the broken bones, a small sword body was moving like a living thing!

Spells don't move on their own.

Those that can chirp or even tremble on their own must be magic treasures that contain majestic qi!

The word 'Si Snake' is stamped on the body of the sword.

The cunning medicine man had hidden the real treasure in the vertebrae.

"Good stuff!"

Yun Que's heart was greatly relieved.

After making sure there were no more foreign objects, he came to the dowser in the corner.

"What's that smell?"

Yun Que was still smiling and asking questions, but his smile was like ice.

The daoist with a mouth full of blood shook his head in horror, signaling that there was no taste.

Yun Que swung his sword and slashed a few wounds that were not deep or shallow on this person's body, looking at the dripping blood, he expressly said,

"There, it's the smell of death."

Boom.

The stone door closes.

Due to the bleeding, the daoist's body exuded the qi of a living person, and the elixir he had taken earlier was completely ineffective, the snake demons in the chamber were raising their heads and spitting out their letters.

Soon, miserable howls and horrible devouring sounds came from within the stone door.

"Dogs who deserve to die." Old River cursed angrily, "This kind of scum should be flayed and lighted up!"

Yun Que walked through the deep passageway, his expression could not be seen, and he could only be heard whispering in hushed tones.

"Man, always scarier than the demon."
