The Ghost King's expression did not change and he said: "Don't be alarmed. I have already looked away. The only thing I worry about is the Ghost King Sect's inheritance passed down by my ancestors. Just listen to what I have to say. After I die, you can keep it a secret."
Don't announce the funeral. When you reach the wilderness at the border of the wilderness, inform everyone about my death. Then you will camp on the spot and stop moving forward. You will pay homage for many days. After all the other sects have passed through the wilderness, you can only tell everyone about my death in my handwriting.
I left my life with the intention of being buried in Huqi Mountain, otherwise I will die with my eyes in peace."
As he spoke, the Ghost King reached into his arms, took out a sealed letter, and handed it to Xiao Wan.
Xiao Wan's expression changed several times. He looked at the Ghost King with surprise and admiration. His palms trembled slightly and he gently took it.
"If necessary, you can show this hand letter to everyone. Anyway, when that time comes, if anything happens, just blame it on me. Why should the dead have anything to fear? There is only one thing you need to remember, you must tell it to me.
The foundation of my Ghost King Sect will be passed on forever!”
Xiao Wan's body trembled, he nodded heavily, then stepped back on his knees and kowtowed to the Ghost King.
The Ghost King seemed to have removed a big stone from his heart. He breathed a long sigh of relief. His eyes gradually became blurred. He didn’t know what he saw at this moment. He could only hear a few words in his mouth, but he whispered in a low voice: "It's a pity, it's a pity...
…”
The voice gradually became lower and finally became silent.
※※※
One day later, on the top of the mountain on one side of the Rainbow Valley, several figures suddenly fell down and stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the bottom of the canyon. They were the five members of the Qingyun Sect headed by Wan Jianyi.
Looking down from the mountain, you can vaguely see people everywhere in the originally silent valley. Judging from the clothes, they are almost all members of the Demon Cult. Everyone is in a hurry, and many people do not even stop here.
, walked directly out of the valley, and it was obvious that after the defeat of these demon sect remnants, they were depressed and wished they could stay away from Qingyun Mountain as soon as possible.
The people in the Demon Sect have committed countless murders up and down Qingyun Mountain, and they have already had a blood feud with the Qingyun Sect, so when they saw the demons from the Demon Sect escaping in embarrassment below, whether they were Cangsong, Shang Zhengliang, Tian Buyi and Zeng Shuchang, their expressions changed.
It doesn't look good, and I have the urge to rush in and kill it.
However, Wan Jianyi among the five people obviously thought about this very clearly, and said calmly to the four junior brothers: "Remember, the most important thing about our trip is to sneak into the wilderness to find out the reality of the Demon Sect Temple. The rest
Let’s put the matter aside for the time being, and you must not act impulsively and do bad things, do you understand?”
The four of them agreed in unison, and Wan Jianyi looked down for a while, and suddenly said: "It's strange to say that although the Demon Cult monsters we saw along the way were quite large, they were mostly a mob. In the canyon right now,
The same is true. But I have often heard that there are many different factions in the Demon Cult, and they should have their own restrictions. They should be more organized than the ones in front of us, right?"
Cangsong also looked down for a while, seeming to have thought of this question, and said: "Senior Brother, I also have this doubt. Logically speaking, it is difficult to say about some small sects and sects among the demon sect, but like Wandu Sect, Ghost King
Sects such as Changshengtang and other large sects should not collapse like this."
Uncle Zeng interjected from the side: "Could it be that they were defeated by us in the battle at Qingyun Mountain and were so frightened that they were defeated?"
Cangsong shook his head and frowned: "Probably not."
Wan Jianyi pondered for a moment and then said: "What Cangsong said is reasonable. Although the devils of the Demon Cult are despicable, the leader of them is definitely not an incompetent person to achieve today's situation. We cannot underestimate him." After a pause, he
He turned around and said: "These stragglers down there are nothing to worry about. Don't worry about them. Let's move on."
"Yes." Cangsong and others agreed, and then the five of them took off their swords again and flew forward.
After crossing this canyon, we faced the undulating foothills, and there were green forests as far as the eye could see. After about ten miles, the terrain began to become flat, the woods gradually decreased, and a plain appeared in front of us. At this moment, I was flying
In the air, there was a sudden feeling that the world was suddenly opening up. I could see thousands of miles of fertile fields, crisscrossed rivers, occasional hills and woods dotted among them, and a dozen or twenty small villages scattered on this plain.
These villages are all local people who have been living around the Qingyun Mountains for many years. They are simple and honest, respect the immortal way, and live a life of rising sun and sunset, which is the same year after year. However, during this period of time, the devil has
The cult invaded Qingyun Mountain on a large scale, and the demons were rampant. Most of the nearby villagers and people had fled. Perhaps they had to wait until the demon cult members completely retreated before they could return to their homes.
Looking from a distance, many villages in the wilderness had fires burning, and black smoke rose straight into the sky. Obviously, what happened down there was not a good thing.
The Qingyun Sect has been established on Qingyun Mountain for more than two thousand years, and has long regarded the surrounding people as its subjects. At this moment, when these five people saw this scene, their faces changed and they looked angry.
At the same time, once you fly out of the mountains and onto the plain, you will be particularly eye-catching when flying in the air without the cover of the mountains. There are demon sect monsters everywhere in the area now. It is obviously not appropriate to be so arrogant.
If the nearby Demon Cult members were alerted, there would be more trouble. So Wan Jianyi signaled to everyone, and after a while, they picked an uninhabited place and fell to the ground one after another.
At this moment, of course, everyone was no longer wearing the clothes of Qingyun disciples, including Cangsong, who also changed his robes into ordinary clothes. It looked like the five of them were just like common traveling monks, not particularly conspicuous.
Deliberately avoiding several villages that were on fire, they walked forward along an ancient road heading northwest. They did not encounter any scattered Demon Cult believers along the way, but the villagers and merchants who usually walked here also
The absence of shadows makes the surrounding wilderness look particularly desolate.
As they walked, Shang Zhengliang snorted and said with a bit of anger: "These damn devils from the demon sect have caused countless people to lose their lives. They are really evil!"
Tian Buyi took a look at the village closest to him and the others. There were flames blazing into the sky, and there seemed to be faint sounds of crying. He couldn't help but change his expression. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Wan Jian: "Senior Brother Wan, what about that?"
There seems to be someone there somewhere?"
Wan Jian paused and stopped, and the others also stopped and turned to look at the burning village. Sure enough, a moment later, there was a burst of crying mixed with several bursts of laughter and scolding.
Passed over.
But after all, there was a distance, so I couldn't really hear what the voice was saying.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Wan Jianyi. Wan Jianyi was silent for a moment, then suddenly exhaled a breath and said: "It would be fine if the uninhabited village was burned and plundered by these monsters, but since there are people suffering,
We Qingyun disciples cannot turn a blind eye. Let’s go and take a look.” (To be continued)
