Gao Anhe and Luo Jincheng also came to Xingling Mountain in the afternoon after investigating the disappearance of the government servants.
Lin Xiaodong and Xu Simin were planning to go back when the two groups met at the foot of the mountain.
Gao Anhe asked: "Did you find anything?"
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "I didn't find anything in Dingzhong. I walked around the mountain and there was no sign that anyone had been there."
After hearing this, Chen Shilan asked anxiously: "Where have all the more than a hundred living people been hidden?"
Lin Xiaodong asked Gao Anhe: "How is the investigation going on with the missing officers and soldiers?"
Gao Anhe said: "Fortunately, we have witnesses this time. The government officer's wife said that he woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and ran out as if sleepwalking. He ran very fast and couldn't catch up."
Lin Xiaodong asked: "Where did you run away?"
Gao Anhe said: "Run out of the city, ran into the woods, and then disappeared."
Lin Xiaodong frowned and said: "I found statues in several surrounding villages, involving at least five hundred people."
Xu Simin said: "Didn't Li Xianpo say that it's midnight in Xingling Mountain?
I'm afraid something big is going to happen tonight."
Gao Anhe thought for a moment and said, "We don't have any clues anyway. Let's just stay here tonight."
Everyone was at a loss and did not return to the county town. They hid in the bushes at the foot of the mountain and waited.
At midnight, there were dogs barking in the distance and rustling footsteps nearby. Several people poked their heads out and felt their scalps go numb.
Hundreds of people came on the mountain road. They were walking towards Xingling Mountain with their eyes blank and staggering like zombies.
Xu Simin whispered: "It seems that what Li Xianpo said is accurate!"
Lin Xiaodong wondered: "Where are they going?
We have obviously checked the mountain and found nothing."
While they were talking, something strange happened. The person walking at the front walked into a golden light and disappeared out of thin air.
The following people filled in and disappeared in the golden light one after another, like dumplings being dropped.
Gao Anhe stood up: "Now we know where these people are, let's go in and take a look."
The few people ignored the danger and chased up the mountain. They exchanged glances with each other, took a deep breath, and walked into the golden light.
The scene in front of me suddenly changed. The flat ground at the top of the mountain was full of people kneeling around a stone altar, kowtowing crazily. Blood flowed from their heads and a big hole appeared on the ground.
There were several people in red robes surrounding the altar, forming a formation. On the top of the altar, there was a man meditating in the air, with a sacred golden light all over his body, and a golden wheel of merit behind his head.
The newcomers came into the golden light and knelt down, like a ruthless kowtow machine. There were hundreds of people present, but they said nothing and could only hear the sound of kowtow.
Everyone was kneeling on the ground, only Lin Xiaodong and others were standing, and they were particularly conspicuous. The man with golden light on the top of the altar opened his eyes and pointed at them.
The few people in red robes under the altar jumped up and came to Lin Xiaodong and others.
Gao Anhe cursed: "Who are you?
To confuse innocent people and come here to practice evil?"
The leader on the other side shouted loudly: "Yao Taining, the great disciple of Yongle Pavilion in Xingling Mountain, is here. Who are you?"
These people were from an evil sect called Yongle Pavilion. They came from Anqing Dao, south of Qiyun Dao. After being annihilated by the Anqing Dao sect, they fled to Qiyun Dao and settled in Xingling Mountain.
On the altar, the person shining with golden light is the leader Zhao Haoyan, and there are three first-generation disciples left in the sect, Yao Taining, Yang Xinran and Yang Yuxue.
Gao Anhe shouted angrily: "You evildoers are running around everywhere and causing chaos. You deserve to die!"
Luo Jincheng shouted to Zhao Haoyan on the high platform: "Listen! We are the eunuchs, and we are here today to eradicate you completely!"
Yao Taining picked up the Yunshui Sword and stabbed Luo Jincheng from the air: "You are the one who is going to die!"
Luo Jincheng released the Shadowless Sword, and in the midst of lightning and flint, he and the Yunshui Sword made more than ten moves in the air, which was extremely dangerous.
There was a sharp sword cry in mid-air, but everyone on the ground just kowtowed and ignored it.
Seeing that the Shadowless Sword could not be broken, Yao Taining grinned sinisterly, stretched out his hand, and stabbed the Shadowless Sword with the Cloud Water Sword.
Luo Jincheng made a swipe with his finger, and the Shadowless Sword blocked the Yunshui Sword again.
But the tip of the Yunshui Sword pointed at Luo Jincheng and sprayed out a water arrow.
Luo Jincheng was on guard for a long time and released the Six Sun Mirror. When the golden light shone, the water arrow burned into a streak of fire.
The Yunshui sword was poisonous, and Yao Taining failed to attack him secretly, so he yelled: "Damn it!"
Luo Jincheng mocked: "The evil way is the evil way, and it will only do things that are not worthy of publicity!"
Yao Taining was so angry that he bared his teeth and hit the snow beads towards Luo Jincheng, turning them into a streak of white light.
Luo Jincheng took another look at the six-yang mirror, and the snow-covered pearl was washed away by the golden light and flew away into the distance.
"Look at me today except for your evil ways!"
Luo Jincheng shouted loudly and released the Shadowless Sword to slash at Yao Taining in the air.
On the high platform, Zhao Haoyan stretched out his hand and flicked it, and the shadowless sword extinguished the golden light and fell down.
Luo Jincheng was also involved and staggered, staring in surprise: "What's going on?"
Yao Taining smiled proudly: "Hahahaha! You are dead! This place is already my teacher's most precious treasure, the Xumi Mirror. Come in, and don't even think about getting out!"
Only then did Lin Xiaodong understand that it was no wonder he couldn't find it. It turned out that all the missing people were packed into treasures, and Zhao Haoyan himself hid in them, so he couldn't detect them.
Gao An and others all changed their expressions. They were eager to save people, but they didn't expect to fall into a trap.
Luo Jincheng was unwilling to give in and made the Liuyang Mirror shine a golden light towards Yao Taining.
Yao Taining no longer had any treasure to protect him. Junior brother Yang Xinran took a step forward, and a white bone bead hung from his head.
The golden light emitted by the Six-Sun Mirror was blocked by the white light and turned into a ball of fire that dissipated.
Yang Xinran smiled evilly, and released the blood-transforming flying knife, only to see a bloody light. Before Luo Jincheng could react, the Liuyang Mirror was splashed with fine drops of blood, covering up the precious light.
"Die!"
Yang Xinran shouted loudly, and the flying blood knife turned in a circle and flew towards Luo Jincheng's neck.
Seeing this, Chen Shilan hurriedly took action and released the Cold Silk Sword, which turned into a white brilliance. The blood-turning flying knife flew into it, was stagnated by the cold, and fell down.
Chen Shilan took the opportunity to play a five-color bracelet and fired five colorful smoke at Yang Xinran.
Yang Xinran stamped his feet, and a golden light emitted from the back of his head, using his magic power to bless the bone beads. However, he was still defeated, and the golden light was broken by the colorful smoke.
Seeing this, Chen Shilan quickly released the cold silk sword and stabbed Yang Xinran in the heart.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, Zhao Haoyan closed his eyes and waved, and the cold silk sword fell down, covering the treasure's light.
Yao Taining smiled and said: "How long can you last in my teacher's treasure?"
Chen Shilan wanted to make the five-color bracelet shine again, but when she took it out, she found that there was no brilliance at all.
Xu Simin also took action, releasing wind and thunder swords, one large and one small, rotating alternately in the air, with streaks of purple light mixed with loud noises, falling towards Yao Taining and the others.
