"What's the latest news about Duanmuya?" Qin Peng asked after thinking about it.
Hu Yinyin said: "I haven't seen her for several days."
Xiao Sheng on the side also said that since the helmsman left half a month ago, he has never come back and has not received any news about her.
Qin Peng said: "You go out and inquire carefully. No matter whether Duanmuya is dead or alive, there must be an explanation. If someone is sent to ask questions from above, we can't keep silent."
Hu Yinyin and the other three also knew the pros and cons, and each obeyed the order and left.
Qin Peng walked to the window and looked at the increasingly dense and prosperous weeping willows by the lake outside the window, and couldn't help but fall into inexplicable contemplation.
After several days of inquiring, Hu Yinyin and the others returned, but there was still no news about Duanmuya's whereabouts. However, another incident attracted Qin Peng's attention.
Since there was nothing of value in the Demon Emperor's Cave, after countless masters died tragically, people in the world thought it was an ominous place, and the survivors left one after another, including the various sects.
Those sects that have not left so far are mostly because their disciples were seriously injured. They are now renting in Lin'an City Inn, and it seems that they will leave in the near future.
The Huajia Summer Resort, which was originally a place of storm, has now become a ghost land. At night, there is almost no sign of life in the three-mile area, and the nearby residents have long since moved away. Perhaps it is because the evil spirit there is too strong.
Not even an ant.
"That is to say, no one is approaching there now?" Qin Peng raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Sheng sighed: "It's too tragic. I personally went to see it. The roads and walls in that area were full of blood stains that couldn't be washed away. The blood seeped into the stone walls, and there were even skin and flesh left in some places.
The people of Jinyi Division just cleaned up in a hurry and then all retreated. Now the whole Lin'an City is in chaos, Jinyi Division has no time to take care of itself, but the Jianghu people have no courage or ability to continue causing trouble."
With the Jianghu people's attitude of fighting at the slightest disagreement, no one caused trouble. It is conceivable what a brutal and bloody battle took place in the Demon Emperor's Cave.
Qin Peng suddenly felt a little excited and considered whether to take over the task of virtual template and go to the Demon Emperor's Cave to explore.
He believed that the virtual template would not lie to him, so there was only one possibility: the Jianghu people who entered had not found the core of the Demon Emperor's Cave at all.
Now that no one dares to get close, it is a great opportunity for Qin to take action!
The more Qin Peng thought about it, the more it made sense. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know how long it would take to improve his martial arts. Time waits for no one, and the world will not wait for him to grow.
Qin Peng said to Hu Yinyin and the others: "Get ready and follow me to Hua's summer resort tonight."
Hu Yinyin and three others: "..."
Xiao Sheng almost shouted: "Altar Master, this..."
"Needless to say, since it has become a ghost land, no one will come close to it. I also want to see what the so-called Demon Emperor's Cave looks like. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. Everyone can do whatever they want.
Bar!"
Hu Yinyin and Shi Chong originally wanted to say something, but upon hearing this, they understood that the altar master had made up his mind. The two looked at each other and finally said nothing more.
Xiao Sheng's fat face trembled hard for a few times. He also understood that if he didn't go tonight, the status he had finally earned would probably be lost to its original shape, and it would be difficult to gain Qin Peng's trust in the future. He opened his mouth and said
He looked like he was dying.
Late at night, a crescent moon hung high.
Qin Peng led his three confidants and jumped into a desolate and dilapidated ruins, which was the Hua family's summer resort.
However, there was no trace of grandeur in the scene. Broken wood and gravel were everywhere, as well as mottled and faded bloodstains.
The night was dark and deep, and the summer night wind was not blowing hot, but rather a biting chill.
Hu Yinyin looked around and followed Qin Peng cautiously. Shi Chong and Xiao Sheng stood on each side. Xiao Sheng's eyes kept turning, fearing that monsters would jump out of nowhere.
The four of them continued to go deeper, and finally jumped into a stone crevice, which was the entrance to the Demon Emperor's Cave.
After falling about five or six feet, the four of them landed in a man-made passage, and a thick smell of blood hit their faces.
Qin Peng asked Xiao Sheng to lead the way. Xiao Sheng looked resentful, but had to obey the order and had to move forward slowly and step by step.
Hu Yinyin was guarding Qin Peng's left side, close to Qin Peng's body, while Shi Chong was in charge of the rear, with a pair of cold eyes showing rare solemnity at this moment.
Along the way, the wind became stronger and stronger, and from time to time there were broken limbs and bloody bones on the ground. Fortunately, several of them were people who had been wallowing in the rivers and lakes, otherwise they would have been so frightened that they would have turned around and ran away.
Qin Peng suddenly stopped, and Hu Yinyin and the other three also stopped.
There was a corner ahead, and a group of people walked out. Relying on superhuman eyesight, the two parties just glanced at each other and quickly saw clearly the appearance of the people opposite.
The crowd at the corner were all young people, both men and women, among whom two people attracted the most attention.
These two people were a man and a woman, both dressed in white. The young man had a tall figure, an outstanding temperament, and a face that was so handsome that it was beyond ordinary people's imagination.
The girl next to him is like a Luo Shen under the moon and a banished immortal in the sky. Although her clothes are simple, there is a taste of earthliness in her bones that is not stained by the fireworks of the world.
What's more coincidental is that both the man and the woman are known to Qin Peng. The boy is Qin Peng's sworn brother Bai Zhongyu. The girl is Jiang Mengying, the Saint of the Moon Sect who made Qin Peng famous all over the world.
Obviously, Bai Zhongyu and Jiang Mengying recognized Qin Peng easily.
Bai Zhongyu's expression changed slightly and he opened his mouth without making a sound. Jiang Mengying also had beautiful eyes twinkling, and her expression looked a bit helpless as if she had never met him somewhere in life.
"Qin Peng!"
The two of them were silent, but someone suddenly revealed Qin Peng's identity. He was a young man in brocade clothes, with deep eyes and a straight nose, and a superior aura. He looked at Qin Peng like a hunter seeing his prey.
"Qin Peng?"
"Is this person the Jade Demon?"
The group of young people were all shocked. Their eyes were either curious, scrutinizing, or indifferent and disgusted, and they were all focused on Qin Peng's face in an instant.
Hu Yinyin and the other two people immediately stood ready, but the hearts of the three of them had sunk to the bottom. They didn't expect Jiang Mengying and his gang to be so bold, daring to explore this place at night. Now they met on a narrow road, and they didn't know if they could escape.
Qin Peng looked at the young man in brocade clothes who revealed his identity and said calmly: "Do you know me?"
The young man in brocade clothes smiled coldly and did not answer.
Qin Peng smiled and asked Bai Zhongyu: "Second brother, who is your friend?"
None of the group of young men and women seemed to have expected that Qin Peng could still laugh and be so calm even under such circumstances.
Bai Zhongyu was silent for a moment and introduced: "He is the young leader of the Fujian Dajiang League, Brother Wei Shaoxiong of the 'Seven Star Sword'."
Upon hearing the words Dajiang Alliance, Qin Peng's eyes instantly lit up. This chapter has been completed!
