They had left the town and arrived at Shennan Village; it was already late evening.
Chen Shi surveyed the surroundings and noticed that, although the village was situated within Death Valley, there was not a single Evil Spirit in sight, strangely quiet.
Unlike villagers from other villages who would return early to their homes at night, the villagers of Shennan Village leisurely strolled outside, seemingly carefree.
Some even caught a deer and were barbecuing it outside the village.
Zhuge Jian said, "With Tie Chi in Shennan Village, Evil Spirits dare not come here. The village's Granny Sha has also become completely redundant, having leisurely days all the time."
Chen Shi looked towards the center of the village and indeed saw the purple vine, which was extremely ancient, about hundreds of years old, with branches like a coiled dragon.
This vine was thicker than ordinary trees. It did not climb onto other trees, yet it still grew upwards, about thirty feet high.
