Huqi Mountain, where the main hall of the Devil Sect's Ghost King Sect is located, was shrouded in a mass of murder. More than half of the originally powerful sect suddenly died. It was an extremely heavy blow to any powerful sect in the world. So,
Many passionate disciples went out to fight with high fighting spirit, but when they came back, there was only one ghost king covered in blood.
The lingering shadow appears on the faces and hearts of everyone in Huqi Mountain. No one knows who the next opponent of those cruel and ferocious monsters will be.
After the Ghost King came back, he went to practice behind closed doors. No one dared to ask him, but people did not wait for a long time. Soon, the news came back one after another, and things gradually became clear. This southwest battle
During the war, the three major sects of the Demon Cult joined forces to fight against the beast monsters for the first time. Although why the three major sects formed a secret alliance or had other agendas, no one except the Ghost King knows.
The result of this battle can be said to have caused the Demon Sect to suffer the most disastrous defeat in a thousand years. Not only did the Ghost King Sect lose more than half of its manpower, the Wandu Sect was first severely damaged by the civil strife in the sect, and then the beast monsters
After entering the Poisonous Snake Valley, almost all the remaining master disciples were killed or injured. As for the Acacia sect, which had always been dormant in secret, for some unknown reason, this time they also mobilized their entire sect to join the war, and their fate was also met by endless beast monsters.
The entire army was wiped out in front of him.
At this moment, the Ghost King Sect, whose vitality was severely damaged, was in panic. However, no matter what, their situation at this moment was still far better than that of Wandu Sect and Hehuan Sect. Most of the masters of the Ghost King Sect stayed in Huqi Mountain, so the strength of the Central Solid State was not actually strong.
It was not damaged, but the Wandu Sect and the Hehuan Sect went through this battle, and it was not even known whether anyone escaped.
On this day, after many days of cultivation, the Ghost King reappeared in front of the disciples of the Ghost King Sect amid the anxious speculations of his disciples. Regarding the great defeat he had just experienced, the Ghost King did not even mention it, but directly
Many orders were issued in succession, and soon, the entire hinterland of Huqi Mountain began to commotion.
Everyone began to pack their bags, pack things, and prepare dry food and water, because the last one of the Ghost King's orders clearly stated one thing, because at this moment, the beasts and demons were raging in the Middle Earth, and the vitality of the Holy Religion was severely damaged. For the sake of the Holy Religion,
In the future, he has decided that the entire Ghost King Sect will head northwest together, entering the vast wilderness and going to the legendary birthplace of the Holy Religion - the "Wild Temple".
Amid the hectic scene, the Ghost King put his hands on his back expressionlessly and walked toward the ice stone chamber deep in the mountain. The journey was thousands of miles long, and the wilderness was desolate and hot. Given Baguio's current situation, it was not suitable for a long-distance journey to the wilderness.
Originally, with the ghost king's intention, he wanted to ask Xiaobai to take care of Baguio. With the nine-tailed fox's thousands of years of practice, and the many mechanisms in Huqishan, it was naturally foolproof, but now things have changed. Since he came back, for some reason, Xiaobai
She actually disappeared from here. He asked several people, but no one knew her whereabouts.
Thinking of this, the Ghost King frowned slightly, and unknowingly found that he had arrived outside the ice stone room where his daughter was. He sighed, opened the door and walked in.
Gui Li was standing there, silently accompanying Baguio. He heard movement behind him, but he didn't even move his head.
The Ghost King walked slowly and walked to Ghost Li's side. He looked from his body to his daughter who was lying quietly on the cold ice stone platform. That pale and beautiful face was as clear and beautiful as ever, just like her.
She also knows secretly that the two men who care about her the most in the world and are also the two most important men to her are by her side.
Her expression is very quiet, calm and reassuring!
The Ghost King looked at Baguio for a long time, his eyes flashed with a faint light, and there was a rare kindness. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said lightly: "Why don't you go and tidy up your things?"
Gui Li did not raise his head or answer him directly. Instead, he asked the Ghost King and said, "I heard that there is a vast wilderness, but it is either a desolate Gobi or an endless desert. It is extremely hot all year round, right?"
The Ghost King nodded and said: "Yes, I have been to the Savage Temple before, and the climate there is indeed like this."
Gui Li frowned and said: "Then how can Baguio go? How can she endure such suffering in her current... state?"
The Ghost King glanced at Ghost Li and said, "I never wanted to take Yao'er to the wilderness."
Ghost Li's expression changed and he looked at the Ghost King. The Ghost King said: "The wild, desolate and hot weather is really not suitable for Yao'er. My original intention was for her to stay in Huqi Mountain. After we leave, we will activate the ban on the mountain's mechanism and close the entrance.
It is very safe. But just in case, someone still needs to come in and check at least once a month to avoid accidents."
Gui Li stood up and said, "Do you want to keep someone? Who is it?"
The Ghost King said calmly: "My original intention was to entrust Xiaobai to Xiaobai. She has profound spiritual knowledge and is willing to have a good rest in Huqi Mountain for a few years. But for some reason, I can't find her these days."
Gui Li's expression changed slightly, and the Ghost King saw it in his eyes, and his heart moved, "Why, do you know where she went?"
Gui Li slowly shook his head, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Let me take care of Baguio here."
The Ghost King stared at him and said: "Of course I can rest assured that you will take care of Yao'er, and I can trust you. But now that the holy priest has suffered a heavy blow, I intend to regain my prestige. First of all, I must stabilize the congregation and unify the holy religion. I need you very much around me."
This is a talented person.”
Gui Li's eyes left Baguio for the first time, slowly moved to the Ghost King, and suddenly said: "In this battle with the beast monster, are all the disciples who followed you dead?"
The Ghost King's face changed, and his eyes shone brightly. This was the first time someone dared to mention this matter in front of him, but he didn't get angry, he just looked at Ghost Li deeply, and then said slowly: "They are all dead.
"
Gui Li withdrew his gaze and fell on Baguio again. After a while, he said: "After this battle, although the vitality of the Demon Sect was severely damaged, the Wandu Sect and the Hehuan Sect were completely wiped out. What's the impact on our remaining strength?"
For the Ghost King Sect, it has to be said that it is a great opportunity to unify the Demon Sect. The current situation is like this, even if I am not here, there is no force in the sect that can compete with you." He said quietly, "But
Baguio still needs someone to take care of her, so just let me stay and take care of her."
The Ghost King looked at him for a while, nodded and said: "Since you said so, I won't force you. Yao'er will be entrusted to you. I also believe that you can take good care of her, but remember, the strength of the beast monster is terrifying.
, and you have a keen sense, just in case, it’s best to seal the mountain gate, and then you can come in and check it once every month or two, so there won’t be anything wrong.”
Gui Li nodded slowly, agreeing. The Ghost King looked at his daughter again. After a moment, he sighed, turned around and walked out.
Just when he was about to walk to the door, a ghostly voice suddenly came from behind him: "Sect Master..."
The Ghost King was startled, and it was a bit unexpected. Ghost Li rarely took the initiative to say hello to him. This time he suddenly spoke, and he didn't know why. He immediately said: "What?"
Gui Li was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Do you hate me in your heart?"
The Ghost King had his back to him, motionless, did not speak, and his expression could not be seen.
Gui Li said slowly: "Baguio is like this because of me. Do you hate me in your heart?"
He looked indifferent, as if he was talking about a topic that had nothing to do with him, but the Ghost King remained silent. In the stone room, the two men stood back to back, and the atmosphere in the air seemed to stiffen.
The smoke disappeared, floating gently from the ice stone platform under Baguio, and scattered in the air. After an unknown period of time, the sound of the stone door being opened suddenly came from behind. The ghost king said nothing and walked away quietly.
go out.
"Boom!..." There was a low voice, and the stone door closed again. Only Gui Li was left in the ice stone chamber beside Baguio. His face was dull, and he stared blankly at the woman in front of him.
※※※
In the ancient and dense primeval forest, waves of terrible and burnt smell came with the wind, like ugly scars. The originally green woods were full of traces of being ravaged by beast monsters, and huge trees fell down in random directions.
Underground, countless animal bones from the forest were scattered everywhere, and the peaceful atmosphere in the entire forest was gone.
The day after they found the crazy demon sect disciple, Xiao Yicai, Fa Xiang and a group of seven righteous disciples followed the increasingly obvious traces of beast monsters and gradually approached the valley hidden in the mountains.
The forest they passed above was full of the scene they had just seen. Although they did not see human bones, the scene was still moving.
In the minds of many people, they even think invariably, are these beasts and monsters really born to kill?
At noon that day, a group of people appeared on the dilapidated ancient road outside the Viper Valley. The signs of destruction by beasts and monsters around here were so obvious that everyone barely spent any effort to look at them.
Coming out, the ancient road had been trampled by countless beast monsters and widened several times. There were huge footprints and sharp claw marks left by beast monsters everywhere, and there was still a fishy smell in the air. In addition,
In addition, there seems to be a relatively weak but even more intolerable stench, but no one can tell what it is.
Looking at the entrance of the valley ahead, the inside is as messy as the outside. The land and forest ravaged by the terrible torrent are clearly visible. The ancient roads are winding and winding. No one knows what else is in the valley.
For some reason, everyone looked a little nervous and fell into an awkward silence. Finally, Xiao Yicai coughed, but after speaking, he quietly discovered that his throat was dry and painful. He calmed down and said
: "Everyone, it seems that the demon sect disciple is not lying. It should be here that a big battle broke out between the beast monster and the demon sect."
He looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Shall we go in and take a look?"
No one spoke, and even Li Xun's face looked very ugly at this moment. A moment later, the Dharma minister standing next to Xiao Yicai whispered a Buddha's name and said: "Now that we are here, there is no point in giving up. Let's go in."
stop."
In fact, everyone present understands this truth, but for some reason, there seems to be something strange in the valley, quietly affecting everyone's emotions, making people feel fearful. Fashan, the junior brother who has been following Faxiang, responded angrily.
He made a sound and walked to the side of his senior brother.
"Let's go." It was not Xiao Yicai who said this, but Lin Jingyu. He held the dragon-slaying sword tightly in his hand, and then with a solemn expression, he walked towards the Viper Valley first, followed behind him.
It was Lu Xueqi, and Li Xun followed immediately. Xiao Yicai and Fa Xiang glanced at each other, and both saw a hint of worry in the other's eyes, but after a while, everyone still walked in.
In a huge valley with endless forests, everyone was walking in the Viper Valley, but there was only deathly silence around them. Not to mention seeing animals, they didn't even hear the usual birdsong. The place around this valley seemed to have changed.
Become a lifeless ghost.
The smell of beasts and monsters in the air was equally strong, but as everyone went deeper, everyone's brows became more and more frowned. At this moment, another breath blew by the wind in the valley almost made
The horrible smell that makes people want to vomit is getting stronger and stronger.
The mountain road was winding and twisting, and everyone was concentrating on the surroundings and moving forward slowly. There was a corner ahead, which was a mountain pass. When we got here, the smell in the air was already disgusting and unbearable. Suddenly, walking in the middle
Yan Hong rushed to the roadside, and everyone else was shocked. Li Xun said in shock: "Junior sister, what's wrong with you..." He stopped mid-sentence, because he and everyone saw Yan Hong standing on the road.
He was vomiting desperately in the weeds nearby.
No one laughed, because no one knew how long they could hold on. Although this valley has not yet revealed its true face, it seemed to be more terrifying than most places in the world. Yan Hong stopped breathing, his expression
Bai Bai walked back to the crowd and whispered: "I'm sorry, I, I really..."
Fa Xiang forced a smile and said: "Junior sister Yan, it doesn't matter."
Xiao Yicai also said: "Yes, no one can stand this smell. You don't have to worry about it. If you can't do it, why don't you wait for us outside the valley first."
Yan Hong hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Let's go."
Li Xun came over, nodded to Yan Hong, with a look of comfort in his eyes, and whispered: "Be careful, don't hold on."
Yan Hong nodded in agreement, and Xiao Yicai turned around and said, "Okay, let's keep walking. I don't know what dangerous monsters are ahead, so everyone must be careful."
Everyone nodded and walked forward again. Lin Jingyu was still walking at the front. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the corner of the mountain col, cold sweat began to overflow from the palm of his hand holding the Dragon Slayer Sword. The air was already smelly at this moment.
It was difficult to breathe. Lin Jingyu's face turned slightly pale. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward with an arrow. He walked around the corner of the mountain col and saw the scene in the valley.
His whole body stiffened instantly.
Everyone behind him immediately noticed Lin Jingyu's strange behavior and couldn't help but become nervous. Xiao Yicai called Lin Jingyu twice in a low voice, but he didn't respond at all. His eyes just stared straight ahead. Lu Xueqi's second
They all walked up, and then Li Xun, Yan Hong, Xiao Yicai, Fa Xiang and Fa Shan walked around the corner of the mountain col one after another and saw the scene in the Viper Valley.
Then, everyone was stunned.
That must be the tragic Shura Hell in the legend. Such a horrific scene suddenly appeared under the clear blue sky and white sun. Countless bones fell inside and outside the houses in the Valley of Poisonous Snakes, including those of humans and various beasts and monsters.
Some were complete, but most of them were corpses with severed limbs and arms, and bones that were so torn apart that they were unrecognizable. They were densely packed all over the ground, with almost no gaps visible.
After barely regaining their composure, Xiao Yicai and others continued to walk in with pale faces.
Horrible scenes are everywhere, and the deeper you go into the valley, the more tragic the scenes become. You don’t need to imagine that the battle here is extremely tragic. The bones of countless people and the corpses of monsters and monsters are entangled together. The ground under your feet has already
It completely turned into deep black, the color soaked in blood.
Entering the house, you can see the remains of brutal battles inside and outside every room and at the entrance to important passages. In some places, corpses are even piled high, obviously to compete for this small entrance.
, the two sides fought desperately, stepping on the corpses of their comrades and fighting endlessly.
In the courtyard, everyone began to see the corpses of several huge monsters, some even taller than the entire palace room. But at this moment, the once ferocious monsters were just lying quietly in this hell on earth.
The same place, waiting to rot.
The stench of corpses in the air has reached a terrifying level, but the righteous disciples and the group are feeling better than before, because the miserable situation in front of them makes them more indifferent to the stench. However, no one's expressions are
It's good-looking. No matter who looks at it, these people's faces seem to be almost dead.
They continued to walk deeper into the house, and more bones appeared in front of them. No one knew how many Demon Cult disciples and beast monsters had died in this valley. They walked in almost subconsciously,
Go, go...
Everyone's expressions were so dull and dull. Everyone held their magic weapon tightly and refused to relax at all. After crossing countless seas of bones and blood, they came to a mourning hall.
The reason why they could tell it was a mourning hall was because they saw a coffin in this room, and the inside and outside of this room seemed to be the place where the most intense fighting took place. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a pile of bones. It was here,
Everyone discovered many familiar corpses from the demon sect: Bai Duzi, the vampire old demon, the ancestor Duanmu...
These evil men of the Demon Sect who were once all-powerful and capable of controlling the wind and rain are now hiding in this place with fear in their faces.
Everyone can imagine it, but no one wants to imagine what it was like before they died!
As the investigation deepened, Xiao Yicai and other older people discovered more famous figures from the Demon Sect here, including the three major disciples of the Poison God, many important figures in the Hehuan Sect, but it was the Ghost King Sect, although
Many disciples wearing the costumes of the Ghost King Sect died, but the bones of famous figures were rarely found.
Everyone slowly gathered in front of the mourning hall. Seeing that the faces of the people around them were ugly, Xiao Yicai said bitterly: "A lot of people have died here. The important figures of the Demon Sect are all here. It seems that all the Wandu Sect is dead.
"
Yan Hong, whose face was frighteningly pale, whispered: "It's the same over there, the Hehuan sect has also died a lot, even Mrs. Sanmiao is there..."
Lu Xueqi's face was pale, her teeth were biting her lower lip tightly, and the expression on her face changed complicatedly. She looked unbearable, disgusted, and for some reason, she seemed a little scared. After being the last one to walk back to the group,
She suddenly said: "Have you seen anyone from the Ghost King Sect?"
Everyone shook their heads together, and then were startled for a moment. Li Xun's face suddenly became even more ugly. Xiao Yicai glanced at him and said to Lu Xueqi: "A lot of ordinary disciples of the Ghost King Sect have died, but they don't seem to have seen...
The corpses of famous people.”
Lu Xueqi's expression softened, but Li Xun's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he said coldly: "Senior Brother Xiao, have you forgotten that these beasts and monsters eat people? When we came in along the way, we saw how many bones, who
Do you know if those monsters from the Ghost King Sect have been..."
"Wow!" A shout interrupted Li Xun's words, but Yan Hong suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and ran to the corner to vomit again. Li Xun was startled for a moment, then sighed and stopped talking.
There was a look of intolerance on Fa Xiang's face, and he and Fa Shan recited the Buddha's name in a low voice. Everyone knew that although Li Xun's words were unpleasant, the possibility was really high. Xiao Yicai, Lin Jingyu and others had complicated expressions.
They all slowly lowered their heads. Only Lu Xueqi looked gloomy, her face was pale and there was no trace of blood, and even her body shook a few times involuntarily.
But this cold woman did not lower her head. She slowly raised her head and looked up to the sky. In the vast blue sky, even the clouds above the valley looked blood red.
Lu Xueqi's lips moved, as if she wanted to shout something, but in the end no sound came out!
