Although Luo Hong's sudden burst of aura shocked Qian Mulan, she immediately reacted, stood up and shouted angrily:
"You two stop! Do you want to tear this place apart?"
"None of your business!"
Luo Hong and Yu Ruoxi said in unison.
"I'm so angry! Do you still want me to unblock the jade slip? And Sister Yu, haven't you seen that that woman is abnormal?!"
Qian Mulan was really furious. Although she didn't know what happened between the two of them, the sour smell on Yu Ruoxi's body could be smelled ten miles away, so she tried to persuade her and hit the point right away.
Hearing this, Yu Ruoxi glanced at the woman in red and saw that she was still standing motionless. She immediately realized that something was wrong, so she called back Feijian and frowned:
"Your wife is so calm. Which family is she a lady of?"
Luo Hong also put away the magic weapon and took off the bamboo hat and veil on Lian Feihua's head angrily.
Yu Ruoxi and Qian Mulan's pupils shrank, obviously frightened by this woman's appearance.
I saw strange black lines painted on Lian Feihua's face, which were densely packed and made her ordinary face look ugly.
Coupled with those dull eyes, the two of them immediately understood that this woman was a puppet controlled by Luo Hong.
Seeing the two women's eyes gradually becoming weird, Luo Hong was afraid that they would have other misunderstandings, so she quickly explained:
"This woman is a demon cultivator in the foundation-building stage. I captured her to bring her back to the master. There was no frivolity along the way."
Yu Ruoximei glared at Luo Hong, and said that she was not frivolous, and the forbidden lines were painted all over her body!
However, she also knew that the other party was not allowed to do whatever he wanted. Immortal cultivators should not stick to trivial matters sometimes, so she did not hold on to him.
After finding out that what happened before was a misunderstanding, Yu Ruoxi looked ashamed and paid attention to Luo Hong herself. She was inexplicably surprised when she saw that his cultivation had reached the middle stage of foundation building.
"Ignoring this girl, where did you get my father's jade slip?"
Qian Mulan was deceived time and time again by the man in front of her, so she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she spoke.
"Since everything has been exposed, I will tell the truth. When your father died, I happened to be there. It was then that your father handed the jade slip to me and explained something. What is it specifically? You
It should be clear."
Luo Hong covered up the fact that he killed Qian Tianbao and recounted the events of that day in detail.
"Are you that Qi-refining monk from Yellow Maple Valley?! But, how could my father hand over the jade slip to a Qi-refining monk? It's impossible!"
After Qian Mulan went back, she asked several clan leaders and naturally knew some things. She was puzzled and marveled at Luo Hong's rapid improvement in cultivation.
The monk who was originally in the Qi Refining Stage actually surpassed himself in one fell swoop, who was a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and became an immortal cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment!
Is this why his father likes him?
"I don't know about that. Anyway, that's the way it is. If you're not convinced, you can make a copy after you help me unblock the jade slip."
It was impossible for Luo Hong to tell the secret of the secret pattern of the spiritual dragon, so he replied forcefully.
"No, I trust my father's judgment, and I will abide by his will. However, I need you to do me a favor before unsealing the jade slip."
Qian Mulan is not obsessed with the Great Five Elements Holy Technique. She is a very pragmatic person. Her own Iron Cauldron Golden Body Skill has not yet been fully developed. Being greedy for other skills will only become an obstacle to her cultivation, but she must not delay saving people.
, she could only use jade slips to coerce her.
"Help? Please tell me in detail."
Luo Hong didn't refuse immediately. If it was something he did casually, he wouldn't mind helping him. After all, he had obtained someone else's magical skills and secrets.
Therefore, Qian Mulan told the story of the disappearance of her two nephews in detail.
The more Luo Hong listened, the deeper his frown deepened. As soon as the other party finished speaking, he immediately said:
"No, I can't help you with this."
"Why, do you know something?"
Yu Ruoxi, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. When she heard Luo Hong refuse so resolutely, her curiosity overcame the shame in her heart.
"The leader of the Black Evil Sect has secretly controlled the government. He is currently in the palace, pretending to be the eunuch beside Emperor Yue. His cultivation level is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. His blood-based demon refining skills are extremely powerful, and his subordinates are also Architects.
The four major blood warriors in the base period are simply unable to compete with just a few of us.
However, from what you said, those two boys should have been captured by the demon cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect. If they haven't been handed over to the Black Evil Cult yet, there is still a chance of rescue.
After all, compared to the Black Evil Sect, the Ghost Spirit Sect's power in the Imperial City is much smaller.
But it is also very dangerous, because according to my estimation, these two parties have formed an alliance overtly or covertly.
Opposing the Ghost Spirit Sect will most likely lead to the evil cultivators of the Black Evil Sect."
Luo Hong hid the fact that the Yue Emperor had been replaced because he couldn't explain it if the other party asked him in detail.
"How can you know such detailed information?"
Yu Ruoxi was surprised and believed what Luo Hong said without much doubt.
"But, you also said that there is a chance."
Qian Mulan still didn't want to give up. If her two nephews died, their Qian family would have the possibility of ending their inheritance. This is something that any immortal cultivating family must try their best to avoid.
"There is a chance, but why would Luo risk his life to help you?"
Luo Hong would not rush into a dangerous situation just because the other party was pitiful and beautiful.
"If you take the jade slip, you will naturally support my Qian family. Now is the time!"
Qian Mulan was a little unreasonable, so she didn't care. Luo Hong knew so much, and with his help, the chances of saving people would be greatly increased.
"Luo Mou has always kept his promises, but the issue of support will be after the jade slips are unsealed, and it must be within Luo's ability. If Miss Qian insists on forcing it, then Luo will be willing to take the risk, but in the future, she will not
I hope Luo will take care of the Qian family."
Luo Hong, who has practiced the Ice Muscle and Jade Bone Technique, knows very well how powerful the Great Five Elements Holy Technique is for body training, so he is willing to take some risks for this.
Qian Mulan hesitated after hearing this. If she agreed, it would be against her father's will, but if she did not, the Qian family would risk cutting off the inheritance.
After hesitating for a long time, Qian Mulan gritted her teeth and said:
"Okay, bring the jade slips!"
Luo Hong was not afraid of her cheating, so he threw the jade slip in his hand over.
After Qian Mulan took it, he cast a spell on his head, and the blood on the jade slip suddenly dispersed, and then threw it back.
"The jade slip has been unsealed. Please do your best, Brother Luo."
"In this case, rescuing people is like putting out fire. I will go to the palace to investigate first. You two will coordinate outside the palace and wait for my news."
Luo Hong's spiritual consciousness penetrated the jade slip and checked it. After confirming that it was correct, he was about to take action when he was stopped by Yu Ruoxi.
"Wait a moment and take this."
Yu Ruoxi threw out a bright purple bead, then took out another identical one and said:
"This is a purple light induction bead. If you encounter danger, crush this bead and I will come with all my strength."
Luo Hong was stunned for a moment, his serious expression immediately softened, and he said warmly:
"Don't worry, we haven't finished drinking the Qingxin tea yet."
After saying that, he used the Earth Escape Technique and disappeared.
Yu Ruoxi's face turned red when she heard this, but seeing that Luo Hong could use Earth Escape, her worries were greatly reduced.
Although Earth Escape is only an intermediate and low-level spell, it is very difficult to practice and is almost equivalent to spiritual arts of the same level.
Immortal cultivators who have mastered this technique are extremely capable of concealment and stealth.
"Sister Yu, don't be frightened. Let's go. There may be a fierce battle tonight!"
Qian Mulan was not in the mood to explore the emotional entanglement between the two, so she raised her gun with murderous eyes.
...
The Imperial Palace of the State of Yue occupies one-fifth of the entire imperial city, but one-third of the area is completely taken up by the splendid Da Nei Palace.
At this time, deep inside the palace, in the forbidden area of the blood pool, bursts of muffled thunder-like sounds came out.
After a while, the muffled thunder gradually disappeared, and a handsome man wearing a purple robe with an evil spirit pushed open the door of the forbidden area.
"Hey, Leader Yan, how does the blood sacrifice feel?"
Wu Jiuzhi, who has now changed his name to Ye Snake, asked with an evil smile.
"Yes, I feel like I can reach the peak level of foundation building after five or six more attempts. Where is your leader?"
The man in purple robe was Yan Shouyi, who had a relationship with Luo Hong. As a local snake in the Yue Kingdom, a monk of the Yan family who had recently taken refuge in the Ghost Spirit Sect was sent to various parts of the Yue Kingdom to carry out latent sabotage missions.
This team led by Yan Shouyi, composed of low-level disciples of the Yan family and the Ghost Spirit Sect, is responsible for the affairs of the imperial city.
And luckily, within two days of Yan Shouyi's arrival, he discovered that the Imperial City of Yue Kingdom had been riddled with holes by the Black Evil Cult, and there was no need for him to do anything more.
Therefore, he decisively used a small part of the resources obtained from the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Yan Family to form an alliance with the Black Evil Sect, and ordered his men to also arrest rogue cultivators to confuse the public.
Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, the chaos in the Imperial City was due to Yan Shouyi, but in fact he did nothing and instead pocketed a lot of spiritual stones and spiritual materials.
Now he couldn't stand the temptation anymore and started practicing the evil blood sacrifice technique.
"The leader is practicing in seclusion. He asked us to send the next batch of sacrifices. This time there are two rare good things."
Next to Wu Jiu's finger, a white-faced Taoist wearing a green robe cupped his hands and saluted.
This person is none other than Taoist Qingwen.
"What good stuff? Did you catch the foundation-building monks?"
Yan Shouyi's eyes lit up. If I can practice the blood sacrifice of monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage, my cultivation will reach the stage of Foundation Establishment Stage. By then, with the power of the magic technique, I will be invincible below the pill!
"Leader Yan was joking. There are so few monks in the foundation-building stage among casual cultivators. How could they be caught so easily? They are two middle-stage qi-refining monks who have practiced the secret technique of body refining. Although their cultivation is low, their energy and blood are much higher than ordinary ones.
Immortal cultivators are vigorous and vigorous, which is one of the best sacrifices."
Taoist Qingwen laughed brightly, secretly surprised by the other party's appetite, and explained.
"It's not bad. I'll go and see where they are."
Yan Shouyi put away his excitement, nodded slightly and said.
"It's in the dungeon next to the blood pool. Does Leader Yan want to take it now?"
Qingwen Taoist asked very flatteringly.
"Of course the faster the better, I haven't had enough practice yet!"
Yan Shouyi's blood-red eyes were full of greed. This feeling of rapid increase in power was so wonderful!
"Well, Chief Yan, please go check out the sacrifices on your own. The two of us will arrange the blood pool and fill it with some spiritual stones."
Qingwen Taoist nodded and bowed as he watched Yan Shouyi leave, his eyes gradually becoming sinister.
"Qingwen, do we need to be so flattering? We are also foundation-building monks!"
As soon as Yan Shouyi left, Ye Snake had an angry look on his face, as if he was very dissatisfied with him.
"Haha, this is a great tonic for the blood pool. You must not offer it like your ancestors did."
Taoist Qingwen licked his lips, as if he had already tasted the wonderful taste of the blood pool.
"A great tonic? Haha, the leader finally figured it out! These demon cultivators and the seven sects all share the same virtue and cannot be trusted at all!"
Hearing this, Ye Snake immediately said with great joy, the so-called great blood-replenishing pool is to refine immortal cultivators into it.
The more times the blood sacrifice is performed, the harder it will be for the opponent to resist after activating the refining ban.
This is a secret that only the leader and the four blood servants in the Black Evil Sect know.
After knowing the truth, Ye Snake's resentment caused by not being able to enter the blood pool to practice for half a month was wiped away.
"The leader originally just wanted to use the power of the demon cultivators to obtain some rare materials and pills. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need for these demon cultivators who will only cause trouble and attract the attention of the seven sects to exist.
Recently, the loose cultivators have been hiding after receiving rumors, and the number of sacrifices has dropped sharply. These demonic cultivators and their minions are just used to supplement it.
Okay, come and arrange it with me quickly. After this blood sacrifice, ask that person to replenish the blood pool."
Taoist Qingwen waved his hand, turned around and walked into the forbidden area of the blood pool.
“Happy to oblige!”
Leaf Snake chuckled lightly and followed closely.
...
On the other side, after Luo Hong sneaked into the palace, he first controlled a mortal guard with the magic of divine control, asked about the general layout of the palace, and then went straight to the emperor's residence, the inner palace complex.
Soon, he met his first immortal cultivator.
This person's cultivation is at the tenth level of Qi Refining, and he is already among the best among casual cultivators, but he is here to serve as a guard, which shows the strength of the Black Evil Sect.
Luo Hong did not take action to kill him rashly, but quietly walked around the underground and continued to explore deep inside.
His goal is very clear, that is, to find the place where the immortal cultivators are most concentrated, which is also the place where the guards are most strict.
To Luo Hong's surprise, he sensed a disgusting smell of blood without much effort, and the word "blood pool" suddenly appeared in his memory.
"It should be right there."
Luo Hong secretly thought, and sneaked over quietly. More and more immortal cultivators were within the range of his spiritual consciousness, and finally discovered the entrance to a secret passage covered by a rockery.
At this point, it is impossible to sneak in using the earth escape technique, because the rockery is surrounded by an evil formation.
Fortunately, this formation is not of high quality and cannot intercept divine consciousness.
After careful inspection, Luo Hong discovered the aura of a monk in the foundation-building stage, and several weak auras of monks in the qi-training stage.
It is very reasonable to imprison the sacrifice next to the blood pool used for blood sacrifice and practice.
However, Luo Hong still wanted to further confirm one or two things, so he found a high ground where he could see the whole formation and sat down, untied the Jade Dragon Gourd, took a sip of the No. 4 Enlightenment Tea and Wine he had accumulated over the past few days, and tried his best to deduce
