Lei Kuangfeng took his disciple's body and ran all the way back to the sect, still in a state of shock. As the deputy hall master of the Soul Sect, he was also a well-known figure in the Black Ya world, but he had never experienced such a weird and terrifying thing.
Just as he was about to go straight to the main hall, he saw a person walking in front of him, and his pace immediately quickened.
This man is short and fat, but his eyes are as sinister as a vulture, and his face is expressionless, but he releases a heart-stopping pressure. As he moves, an almost terrifying sense of oppression follows him, which belongs to the realm of gods.
A terrifying aura. Wherever he went, the guarding disciples of the sect immediately knelt down and worshiped.
Lei Tiangang, the chief master of the Sixty-fourth Hall of the Black Soul Sect, and the cousin of the sect leader Lei Qianfeng, has the same status as the elders in the Soul Sect, and his profound strength is as high as the mid-level spirit realm. He is the most talked about person in the Black Ya world.
He is a top-notch person, no one inside or outside the sect dares to offend him.
"Chief Hall Master!" Lei Kuangfeng quickly rushed to Lei Tiangang.
Seeing the corpse in Lei Kuangfeng's hands, Lei Tiangang frowned: "What happened?"
"Chief Hall Master, my subordinates were originally in Black Soul Mountain to supervise the assessment of selecting disciples on behalf of the Hall Master today, but... hundreds of disciples were all buried in Black Soul Mountain." As Lei Kuangfeng spoke, he kept reaching out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
.
"What!?" Lei Tiangang was furious: "How dare someone plot against my Soul Sect disciple? Who did it?"
"I don't know," Lei Kuangfeng said: "When I found out, they were all dead. There was only an hour in between. I was not far away, but I didn't notice it at all."
"What did you say?" Lei Tiangang frowned, but he obviously didn't believe Lei Kuangfeng's words.
Lei Kuangfeng put down the corpse in his hand: "Not only that, the death conditions of these disciples are extremely strange. Some of their heads are in different places, with no sign of struggle. And many more disciples... turned into such living dead."
Lei Tiangang squatted down, put his hand on the heart of the "corpse", then frowned, and then reached out to grab his Tianling. After a long time, he slowly stood up, his face dark and uncertain.
"Chief Hall Master, why did he die?" Lei Kuangfeng asked.
Lei Tiangang's eyes were cloudy and he said in a deep voice: "How far are the corpses of these disciples from you?"
"The furthest is less than fifty miles," Lei Kuangfeng said. The fact that those disciples had left so far away meant that, less than a quarter of an hour after the assessment started, they were all already dead.
"Hmph, if what you said is true, in such a short distance, a hundred disciples died without any movement, and you were not aware of it...I am afraid that even I can't do it!"
Lei Kuangfeng was shocked: "My subordinates will never dare to deceive the chief hall master!"
"I'm sorry you don't dare!" Lei Tiangang's face was still gloomy: "This way of death is even more strange. There are no internal or external injuries on the body, and he is even still alive, as if he died of being searched for his soul... And this
This disciple is already in the divine soul realm, and his soul source is impregnable. Unless he does not resist, even if the sect master wants to search for his soul, it will be impossible!"
Lei Kuangfeng's scalp was numb: "Could it be that there are really ghosts and gods?"
"What ghost!" Lei Tiangang scolded angrily, and suddenly asked: "The other party really didn't leave any traces?"
Lei Kuangfeng quickly took out Xuanying Tongue and released the previously printed image: "This sentence should be left by him."
One hundred thousand black soul lives, blood sacrifice to the wood soul.
"Ling Yun!?" Lei Tiangang's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Notify all the halls immediately, and each hall will bring at least five thousand disciples to search the mountain immediately! If you encounter a living person, take it down immediately! If you are seriously injured or disabled, you can do it.
But you must live!!”
Lei Kuangfeng was shocked. Although he had assassinated so many disciples of the Soul Sect, the scale of the search was too exaggerated: "Chief Hall Master, who is this Ling Yun..."
"No need to ask more!" Lei Tiangang said in a deep voice: "Do you know why the sect master suddenly left overnight to go to Black Ya City in person? I didn't expect that he actually came to the door himself... One hundred thousand black soul lives? Ha, it's really scary.
Such a tone - why are you still standing there, why don't you go quickly! Remember, you must live!"
"Yes!" Lei Kuangfeng took the order and left.
Lei Tiangang picked up the sound transmission jade and said: "Sect Master, there is no need to go to Black Ya City. Ling Yun sent it to the door himself!"
————————
The Black Soul Divine Sect suddenly became clamorous, and hundreds of thousands of Soul Sect disciples filed out and headed straight for the Black Soul Mountain Range. Nearly 10% of the disciples of the main sect were dispatched to search the mountain at once. This was definitely the first time in history, and there was no warning.
The Black Soul Mountain Range is already home to many dangerous mystical beasts, and very few mystical practitioners can even enter, let alone go deep into it. The eastern region of the mountain range belongs to the Soul Sect. Unless they become impatient, even if the mystical practitioners of the Black Ya Realm continue to
No one with ten more courage would dare to come close.
Therefore, this large-scale search of the mountain continued until the sky became dark. Apart from disturbing countless mysterious beasts, no one was found at all.
As night fell, a thick layer of gray fog gradually enveloped the entire Black Soul Mountain Range.
After finding nothing, the search team returned to the sect one after another and reported the results to Lei Tiangang.
"Chief Hall Master, we have been searching all day, and we haven't found any traces of outsiders, not to mention human figures." The speaker glanced sideways at Lei Kuangfeng: "Lei Kuangfeng, is everything you said true?"
"How dare I joke about this kind of thing!" Lei Kuangfeng said angrily: "The chief hall master should have fled immediately after he plotted against him. However, as long as he does not leave the Black Ya Realm, he will never escape from our hands.
.”
"It seems that he has definitely escaped. Unfortunately, I thought he really wanted to take the hundred thousand lives of my Soul Sect. It's almost time for the sect leader to come back. Let's wait until he comes back to discuss this matter." Lei Tiangang glanced at all the hall leaders.
He glanced at it and suddenly said: "Why is there one person missing? Where is Hall 11?"
"General Hall Master!" As soon as Lei Tiangang finished speaking, a rapid voice came from outside, and then, a middle-aged man rushed in quickly, it was Lei Chuo, one of the deputy hall masters of the Eleventh Hall.
His appearance made everyone frown, and Lei Tiangang said in a deep voice: "What happened?"
"Chief Hall Master, my subordinates led the disciples back to the sect. When they counted the number of people, they found that there were one hundred and sixty people missing. The subordinates immediately ordered people to return to Black Soul Mountain... I just got the news that more than seventy people have been found.
The corpses, and their death conditions are exactly the same as what Lei Kuangfeng said before! The other disciples who have not been found should also have been poisoned."
"What... what!?" The atmosphere in the hall changed suddenly, and all the hall masters looked shocked... and a little scared.
Hundreds of thousands of disciples, led by nearly two hundred deputy hall masters and even the hall master, found no trace...but more than a hundred disciples died quietly. And judging from Lei Chuo's reaction, he clearly didn't notice at all before.
.
A chilling feeling ran through everyone's bodies.
"What happened!"
Before anyone arrived, the majestic voice with thunderous pressure was already pressing on everyone's hearts and souls.
At the entrance of the hall, a middle-aged man dressed in black was walking slowly, with a black snake wrapped with thunder and lightning on his chest and a ferocious mouth open, followed by four people also dressed in black.
His arrival caused the airflow in the entire hall to condense suddenly, making it as dull as a dark cloud filling the sky.
The chief sect of the Black Soul Divine Sect, the Great Realm King of the Black Ya Realm, is also the only terrifying figure in the God King Realm who stands at the top of the Black Ya Realm's profound path.
Lei Qianfeng!
"Sect Master!" His arrival made everyone hurriedly bow down, their heads bowed deeply, and no one dared to lift them up without authorization.
"Get up... Tiangang, what happened?" Lei Qianfeng glanced at everyone and asked calmly.
Lei Tiangang stood up and quickly recounted what happened today.
"Ling... Yun." Lei Qianfeng narrowed his eyes and raised his head slightly: "It's really strange. Before my Soul Sect settled the accounts with him, he actually took the initiative to come to us to bring bad luck to us, and even claimed to take one hundred thousand lives of my Soul Sect.
...The reason is because of the wood spirit? Haha, it seems that this kid is probably a lunatic."
"Sect Master, it seems that Ling Yun is not as simple as we thought. The death of these disciples reminds me of those 'demons' in the [Northern God Territory] recorded in the records. It is rumored that those demons will hide in the dark, in silence.
They steal people's souls. Of course, the people there will never leave the Northern God Territory, and Ling Yun definitely can't be there, but...it's quite similar." Lei Tiangang said.
"If you catch him, you will naturally know what methods he used." Lei Qianfeng said sternly: "Ling Yun is obviously hiding in Black Soul Mountain. Tomorrow, all the sixty-fourth Hall will be dispatched to search Black Soul Mountain and dig three feet into the ground.
, I also need to find him for me!"
"Sect Master, who is this Ling Yun...?" A hall master finally couldn't help but ask.
"You don't need to know too much about this matter. You just need to know that he has something that the divine martial arts world wants in him!" Lei Qianfeng said in a sinister voice.
The words "Shenwu Realm" made the faces of all the hall masters change in shock.
"And this thing was snatched from our hands by him." Lei Qianfeng took a deep breath and showed a stern look in his eyes: "The Shenwu Realm only gave us one month! If we can't get 'that thing' back within one month,
, I’m afraid we won’t be able to eat and carry it!”
"Remember... catch them alive!"
Overnight, the name Lingyun was known to the entire clan.
After the first large-scale mountain search, the next day was a much larger search than the first day. All those dispatched were people from the Sixty-Fourth Hall... In the Black Soul Sect,
Hall 64 is the top class.
And by mobilizing so many people just to find one person, everyone thought it would just be an exaggerated cat-and-mouse game, but they never expected that this would actually be the beginning of a terrible nightmare.
Just like the first day, they searched all day long, but couldn't find even a single figure. But gradually, as the search deepened, they found corpses one after another...all of them were Soul Sect disciples.
No one saw or knew how they died, and there were no unusual breaths or sounds before they were found... It was as if their souls suddenly disappeared.
At the end of the day, they found nothing but two hundred soulless living dead.
The same goes for the third day.
On the fourth day, Lei Tiangang took all the hall masters to Black Soul Mountain in person. They lived high in the sky, and their spiritual senses were released to the extreme driven by the mysterious force. A few hours later, they received a message that made him almost vomit blood:
"Chief Hall Master! All the disciples who stayed in the secret realm of the back mountain have all died, and their death conditions are exactly the same as those of the disciples who died in Black Soul Mountain... It's probably Ling Yun!"
"What? The secret realm in the back mountain!!" Lei Tiangang roared: "Let's go! Ling Yun is not here!"
They raided the Black Soul Mountain and searched the entire back mountain area, but still found nothing, but news that made people feel numb came again and again.
"Chief Hall Master, the two hundred disciples returning from a mission in the Purple Zhu Region were intercepted and killed on the way, and none of them survived!"
"Sect Master! The group of people who went to Black Ya City under your secret order in half an hour are... all dead. Their bodies are less than three hundred miles away from the sect."
"The chief hall master, the second son and seventh son of the seventeenth hall master, and their guarding disciples died in the Black Soul River... It should have been half an hour ago."
"The disciple sent to pick up the purple thunder stone three hours ago has not returned yet, and there is no news. I am afraid he has..."
…………
…………
News that makes people feel chilly come one after another. Every day, news comes that a disciple of the Soul Sect has died or even disappeared. It happened at different times and in different areas, but they were all near the Soul Sect.
Those who died and disappeared are all Soul Sect disciples.
It can range from a few people to hundreds of people!
In just half a month, thousands of Soul Sect disciples have lost their lives.
If it were just a simple loss of life, the Soul Sect would never panic. However, in the past half month, while the number of deaths was increasing day by day, the Soul Sect had been frantically searching for traces of Ling Yun at all costs. Hate
The eight million disciples of the total sect cannot all come out in full force.
The news of the death of Soul Sect disciples has not stopped for a day, which means that "Ling Yun" has never left the vicinity of Soul Sect, but in the Black Ya Realm, the huge and powerful Soul Sect is in its own territory.
Despite the frantic search, I have never found the shadow of "Ling Yun".
In fact, no one from the sect master, the chief hall master, to the lowest disciples knew what he looked like.
The only thing I know is the name "Ling Yun".
And this kind of invisible fear is more terrifying than any intimidating demon. Day by day, this kind of fear accumulated day by day. In the end, almost no disciples dared to step out of the sect casually.
And those disciples who were ordered to leave the sect were trembling with fear every step they took... their whole backs felt cold, as if a pair of death eyes were silently staring at them.
Half a month later, the Soul Sect finally issued the most shameful ban in history: no one with a cultivation level below the Divine Tribulation Realm of the Soul Sect could leave the sect even half a step without permission!
