Zhang Yi was ordered to come to Youzhou three months ago to take out the valuable treasures from Guangyuanzhai that were lost in Youzhou and had not been transported away in time when the evil catastrophe broke out.
As a result, after he succeeded, after delivering the message and preparing to return, what Jia Zhengjing learned was that the other party had encountered a strong enemy. He didn't even remember to deliver the complete information and there was no trace of it.
There are only five words in the information, "Hundred Ghosts at Night", five!
In order to pass the information to Jia Zhengjing in a short time, although Zhang Yi may reduce the content of the information, he can only explain one point in such a simple way, that is, time is short and there is no time at all.
After that, based on Zhang Yi's action route and clues, Jia Zhengjing first sent out a team of eight peak masters to track down the team, including Zhang Yi's direct descendants brought from Haihuang Island.
Unfortunately, apart from the fact that they all died, very little useful information was sent back.
As a last resort, two half-saints were dispatched to worship. As a result, Guangyuanzhai's top combat power suffered an unimaginable blow, so much so that it was difficult to spare manpower for operations in many places, and operations were even suspended.
After all, Jia Zhengjing also had competitors, not only from within the family, but also from enemies and local wealthy families where Guangyuanzhai ran his business.
It lasted three months and lost more than a dozen grand masters and nearly three semi-saints. Of course, Jia Zhengjing would not stop there and used almost all the power he could.
The results show that it is not a secret trap by competitors or enemies, but an irresistible objective force within the boundaries of Youzhou!
After all, under the threat of demonic calamity, the temples will never allow any force to harm the powerful people who are interested in China for no reason. It is just a matter of not finding clues. If they are found, it will be a disaster.
This kind of thing happened more than once in three years, and was found out without exception.
If you don't want to be annihilated by the three clans, all those with family master or above fighting power must enter the Demon Cave until they die in battle, no exceptions!
This is an iron law that was finally signed and witnessed by the highest level of the temples, as well as the major Tianpin sects, aristocratic families, and the imperial court. No one dares to challenge it openly.
"It seems that we met by chance, or in other words, we were unlucky enough to be targeted by a terrifying existence!"
All the intelligence files from Jia Zhengjing flashed through Wu Ming's mind. His figure was completely hidden in the shadow of the rocks, but his eyes were staring at the huge black cloud covering a city dozens of miles away.
Creepy whimpering and strange roars were heard, and the black clouds surged, as if there were countless demons and monsters with teeth and claws, trying to break out of hell.
It is the boundary of Youzhou, or in other words, the terrifying demonic cloud and hundreds of ghosts walking at night where all the demons have been trapped!
Since targeting Baigui Yexing half a month ago, Wu Ming has secretly seen the opponent capture no less than a hundred unlucky humans or sporadic barbarian warriors.
Yes, indeed a prisoner!
It is not as rumored outside that anyone who falls into the Hundred Ghost Night Walker will be swallowed up completely, not even the dregs will be left.
The reason why no wreckage or traces can be found is because they were all taken away by the other party!
In other places, Wu Ming did not see it with his own eyes and could not be sure, but at least what he saw during this period in Youzhou was that he was indeed taken away, and in an extremely strange way.
Previously, Wu Ming had also witnessed the terror of the hundreds of ghosts walking at night, and with his perception far superior to his own, he easily avoided a semi-saint man with an extremely strong aura.
If he hadn't arranged some small tricks on the way here, Wu Ming couldn't be sure at the time why Baiguiye's behavior would suddenly change directions several times. Now it seems that he is unwilling to conflict with such strong men head-on.
Therefore, it also shows from the side that even if Baigui Yexing joins forces with the extreme being under the unknown half-saint there, and can obliterate ordinary half-saints, there are still several limits.
"Being able to control such a huge cloud of demonic resentment is probably not only because of the treasure, but also because of practicing some kind of special secret technique. It is most likely the secret technique of the demon clan! Is he a fallen demon or a member of the demon sect?"
Wu Ming followed the movement of the magic cloud and squinted, "We will see the outcome soon!"
Ahhh!
Several screams stopped abruptly. Just like what had been seen before, when there was strong resistance among the scavengers, the magic cloud turned into a hurricane, and the strong man hiding inside would take action himself.
With the help of the magic cloud cover, no one can get to the specific situation inside, except of course Wu Ming.
Even the top half-saints can't hide from his perception. The ordinary half-saints come to deliver food. The warriors below see it from a distance and have no time to run. Of course, they will not expose the inside story.
"Sure enough, it's just a captured human race. The demon barbarian kills it directly and devours the essence of flesh and blood!"
After Baigui Yexing left, Wu Ming came to the place of battle, casually ingested a ball of dust in his palm, and scanned it with his powerful spiritual consciousness, easily judging the ingredients.
Snap!
Clapping his hands to disperse the dust, Wu Ming swayed and silently followed behind the black clouds that covered the sky.
Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise I don’t know how many jaws would have dropped. Someone dared to follow the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts, known as the nemesis of flesh and blood creatures!
After going around in circles for about three days, and catching four or five people sporadically, but with no more harvest, the being in the magic cloud seemed to be ready to stop, and actually appeared in a deserted valley.
Although Wu Ming had seen the real person of that person more than once through the magic cloud with his amazing eyesight, Wu Ming could not help but feel a chill in his teeth.
The other party's appearance is really unsightly and impressive.
Although he maintains his human form, his bald head is covered with a few strands of black and gray hair that looks like magic flames. His eyes are one big and one small, the bridge of his nose seems to be hollowed out, not to mention the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and there are two front teeth.
exposed.
It's not that the Hozen is better than the Hozen. If it weren't for the slender tail, it would just look like a large mutated humanoid rat!
But the strange thing is that Wu Ming felt that in addition to the pure demonic energy, there was also a special strange power in him, and after looking at the inheritance left by the inner demon, he found that the other party was neither a demon nor a monster.
This can only mean that the opponent is a human race, but he has practiced special skills, resulting in deformities. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
"It seems that the so-called Hundred Ghosts Night Walk is really caused by manipulation. Even if not all of them are, at least the frequent occurrence of such phenomena in Youzhou is related to this weird man, or the existence behind him!"
Looking at the hundreds of demonic clouds scattered in the sky, Wu Ming made a judgment, but his steps were not slow, and they fell towards each other silently, dozens of miles apart.
Nothing unusual happened along the way. Although the opponent's cultivation was quite strong and he had mastered secret techniques that were difficult for ordinary people to achieve, he was targeted by Wu Ming. Even if he hid underground, he could not hide from his perception.
In this way, after following him for nearly a thousand miles, he came to the outside of a large rift valley and lost track of him.
Without breaking into it rashly, Wu Ming observed from the outside and could vaguely sense that the other party was inside and had not really disappeared.
"It's actually here!"
Soon, Wu Ming judged where this place was.
Thinking back to eight years ago, Wu Ming went to the first secret place, Youxia Ridge, after coming out of Shaolin Temple!
Although it was teleported back then, Wu Ming also deliberately collected information on this aspect later. Moreover, after the demonic tribulation, Youzhou bore the brunt, and the largest demonic cave was in Youxia Ridge.
The most important thing is that Lu Jiuyuan died inside, how could Wu Ming not notice?
I originally thought that with one person in charge of one cave, Youzhou was at least not very dangerous, but I never thought that such weird things would happen!
"Um?"
Just as he was about to step forward to check, Wu Ming stamped his feet, regained his breath and concentration, and hid in the darkness.
Whoosh!
A moment later, a strange figure landed on the ground. It was a man as tall and thin as a bamboo pole, three meters tall. He seemed to be knocked down by a blow. He was equally ugly. He was carrying a dusty bag on his back, but he exuded the pressure of a semi-saint.
Strong.
Just like the strange rat-like man, this person also possesses demonic aura and strange power, but he is not a demon, but a human.
This time, Wu Ming was closer and could see clearly that this weirdo was holding a black token and made a strange and complicated seal in his hand. The token flashed and a portal opened in front of nowhere.
.
The strange figure swept into it, and the door was closed. Unless you saw it with your own eyes, it would seem that nothing had happened.
"If there is no movement in half an hour, go in and take a look!"
As the saying goes, talented people are bold, Wu Ming is by no means a reckless and impulsive person, he is confident, even a top half-saint cannot keep him, even if everything here is weird.
Half an hour passed by in a flash, and no more strange people appeared. Wu Mingjing concentrated on it, and maximized his perception. After confirming that there were no hidden restrictions or monitors around him, a silvery white light flashed between his eyebrows, and eight dragon shadows seemed to disappear in a flash around him.
, and immediately took one step forward.
Buzz!
An undetectable ripple flashed, and Wu Ming was completely submerged in it, disappearing silently.
With the power of the Boundary Pearl and the characteristics of the Eight Meridians Fusion, as long as there are no certain absolute formation restrictions that contain special power, Wu Ming cannot be stopped at all, and he can be called the formation nemesis.
"It is indeed a corner of Youxia Ridge!"
Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, Wu Ming felt a familiar aura that was so weak that it was almost undetectable, coming from Youxia Ridge.
Although the rules have evolved and it is no longer the same as before, he can still feel it.
Looking at it, this place is not too big, only about a hundred miles at most. Through the power of the Boundary Pearl, one can clearly feel that this is a small secret space that has been forcibly held up by a powerful formation.
.
However, it is extremely unstable, and it seems that it will collapse in the next moment, or soon, after all, it is faced with the suppression of the rules of the world of China.
If it weren't for a corner of Youxia Ridge, it would most likely be penetrated or affected by the rules inside, and I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to hold up at all, even if it was supported by formation restrictions.
Feeling the extraordinary restraint power of the formation here, Wu Ming did not dare to be as unscrupulous as before. He carefully restrained all his power, swept around, and headed towards the center.
Not long after, they came to the foot of a mountain that was cut in half. Wu Ming did not go up the mountain, but looked behind him, and there was another escaping light falling from the sky.
The escape light did not go straight to the top of the mountain, but when it reached the mountainside, the clouds lowered, revealing the figure inside. It was also a hideous and terrifying weirdo!
"Five!"
Wu Ming, who was hiding in the dark, finally determined that there were five weirdos on top, which could be linked to the intelligence sent back by Zhang Yi, but his eyes were attracted to something in the center of the flat mountain top.
It was a coffin with copper horns and gold coffin that was densely covered with mystery and exquisiteness, and exuded a strange and evil aura!
