I’m Being Held Captive by Demons - Chapter 37

[Chapter 37 Calm Shanlan]

On the Qingban Bridge, the ancient swords stood in the air, and the cyan mana chains stretched straight and fell into the void, forming a sword formation to block everything.

However, there was a blank expression on the girl’s face at this time.

Kong Ning, who heard her answer, was even more shocked.

“The ghost city is empty?!”

He subconsciously looked at the void in front of him. Although Kong Ning couldn’t feel the situation inside, he was still stunned: “Didn’t you just say that it is full of evil spirits?”

The sword formation laid down by the girl could vaguely sense the atmosphere in the ghost city.

Half an hour ago, the girl told Kong Ning that the ghost city was full of evil spirits, and the gloomy and deadly aura was several times stronger than before, and there must have been many evil spirits assembled.

But now it says it’s empty?

Kong Ning looked stunned.

The girl felt deeply again, but she was still depressed: “It’s really empty… Ning Zhaotou, the evil ghosts in this ghost market seem to have run away.”

The girl’s expression was shocked.

Kong Ning was also a little dumbfounded.

“Run? Where can they go? Is there any other way out?” Kong Ning was a little stunned.

The girl hesitated for a while, and then said embarrassingly, “Could it be that they dare not come out… The monsters in this city are actually quite powerful. Maybe the evil ghosts don’t dare to come out and make trouble during the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

“There is only one ghost market. If they don’t come out from here, there is no other exit.”

The girl’s guess is very whimsical.

She probably thought it was nonsense even after she finished speaking, so the girl added weakly: “But there is indeed no evil spirit in the ghost market…”

Kong Ning looked at her speechlessly and said, “Miss Wan’er, take the liberty to ask, your sword formation can sense the aura in the ghost city… Is it accurate?”

Although this girl is basically agile in her work, she is often rash and a little silly.

Therefore, it does not seem unusual for her to drop the chain at a critical moment.

But the girl said confidently: “Naturally, it is accurate. This sword formation is the true inheritance of the master, and there will be no problem… right?”

However, in the end, her tone became uncertain.

Kong Ning looked at her speechlessly, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, “Wait a little longer, maybe I can feel the breath of evil spirits again later.”

There is still an hour before the third watch, so there is no need to worry too much.

Kong Ning comforted the girl and let her continue to sense the situation in the ghost city, while she sat on the side and used her family martial arts to cultivate demon power, waiting for the third watch.

Time keeps passing.

The gloomy and dead air in the city is getting stronger and stronger.

The pungent smell of fireworks drifted everywhere.

When Kong Ning stood up again, it was approaching the third watch.

But the girl standing in front of the ancient sword still frowned.

When Kong Ning came over, the girl shook her head in frustration and said, “Ning catches the head, but I still can’t sense it. The evil ghost in the ghost market should have really left…”

Kong Ning was silent for a while, then turned to look at the county seat behind him.

Under the darkness of night, the county was peaceful and peaceful, and there was no turmoil.

If the ghosts in the ghost city have left, where will they go?

An hour is enough for them to come to the world, right?

– If there really is another entrance.

And the county seat at this time was eerily quiet.

According to Kong Ning and Wan’er’s expectations, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will inevitably be terrifying turmoil in the city.

Su Yan, the foreign scorpion spirit, the original monsters in the county town, and the evil spirits that descended on the county town… These three chaotic and evil parties will inevitably turn the county town into a terrifying killing field.

Even when Su Yan went out, she personally explained that something terrible would happen in the county town tonight, so Kong Ning should not go out.

But now it’s almost three watch, the county is still calm as usual,

Nothing happened.

Even calmer than ever…

If it wasn’t for the gloomy and deadly aura that was getting stronger and stronger in the air, Kong Ning would have thought that tonight was just an ordinary night and the Mid-Autumn Festival had not yet arrived.

But now that the third watch is approaching, the city is still quiet and peaceful, everything is as usual, there are no ghosts, no creatures, and no monsters are fighting.

On the contrary, the gloomy and dead aura in the air became stronger and terrifying.

That gloomy and dead aura was even so strong that Kong Ning’s scalp was numb.

There was an inexplicable chill in Kong Ning’s heart.

“Miss Wan’er,” Kong Ning murmured as he looked at the quiet city under the night, “Do you remember our initial guess?”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and said, “Ning Zhaotou is saying that there are incomparably terrifying evil spirits in the Yin Division? But there are so many evil spirits in the Yin Division, it is impossible for too strong evil spirits to appear.”

After the girl finished speaking, Kong Ning turned to look at her, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said without a smile: “Yes, there were indeed a lot of evil ghosts before, but isn’t there no more now? It used to be full of evil ghosts. There must be a reason why the ghost city in the city is suddenly empty… right?”

Kong Ning’s smiling face made the girl shudder violently.

“Ning Zhaotou, you mean… There might really be powerful evil spirits in this underworld? The evil spirit that devoured the entire ghost city?”

Kong Ning shook his head and said, “It’s just a guess, it’s unlikely. But no matter whether there are really powerful evil spirits inside, one thing can be confirmed.”

“That is the ghost market at this time, it is already empty!”

Kong Ning’s eyes turned to the entrance of the ghost city ahead.

In his field of vision, a white mist continued to extend, and finally disappeared into the ghost city.

When Kong Ning used the search ability of the mysterious black tank again, the white weapon still pointed to the ghost city ahead.

In other words, the target that the mysterious black tank was looking for for Kong Ning was still in the ghost market!

Even the ghost city at this time is already empty.

Kong Ning looked at Wan’er beside him and said, “Miss Wan’er, I plan to go into the ghost city to see the situation… Is there anything you can do to help me?”

Kong Ning smiled and said: “As long as I can pass through the entrance of the ghost market and enter the ghostly shrine, it will do. The magic art you have mastered should be able to do it, right?”

The ghost market is empty, and it is still an opportunity for Kong Ning.

Because the target that the mysterious black pot was looking for was hidden in the ghost market.

Before, considering that the evil spirits in the ghost city were raging and Kong Ning temporarily gave up that goal, it was enough to block the Qingban Bridge to kill the evil spirits, and did not want to venture into the underworld.

But now the ghost city is empty, and no evil spirits will come in from here, so empty, only the original goal remains.

Therefore, he decided to follow the guidance of the mysterious black pot to kill the evil things hidden in the ghost city.

Otherwise, as soon as Zhongyuan passes and the gate of ghosts closes, who knows if he still has a chance to kill the target in the ghost market?

If he was stuck here and couldn’t go any further, Kong Ning would need to face the terrifying monster in the Xu residence.

When he thought that the fog pointing towards Xu Residence was red and purple… Kong Ning didn’t want to provoke the stuff in there easily.

It was just his suggestion that the girl’s eyes widened and she was taken aback.

“Ning Zhaotou, are you going to enter the ghost city?”

“one person?”

The girl said excitedly: “What a joke! It’s the underworld where evil spirits are entrenched, and we don’t even know what’s going on inside! How can we do such a risky thing!”
