Yi Xifeng took out a white jade bottle from the cave, poured out a brown elixir with a fragrant aroma, and fed it to the little girl.
The little girl gradually woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a stone slab with four strangers dressed in black standing beside her.
"Are you awake? Drink some water first."
A beautiful elder sister with fair skin handed over a kettle. The little girl took the kettle hesitantly, took a sip, and found that the water was still warm.
"Thank you sister."
"Little girl, why are you here alone? Where is your family?"
After hearing this, the little girl covered her face and sobbed, crying and saying:
"Both my father and my mother are dead, and Brother Zhou was also taken away, wuwu..."
"Have you seen Zhou Di? Where is he?" Yi Xifeng immediately stepped forward and asked.
The little girl cried and nodded and said:
"Brother Zhou was forcibly taken away by a man in black robe."
Yi Xifeng thought for a moment, he had a bad feeling.
He had a bad feeling.
"What does that man in black robe look like?" Wang Bodang asked.
"It was too dark at the time, and Brother Zhou hid me under the stone without me seeing clearly."
Yi Xifeng turned around and looked at the three of them.
"It seems we have to go meet the Demon Cult tonight."
…
Yi Xifeng, Li Xintian, and Wang Bodang headed east, leaving Mi Qiongbei to take care of the little girl.
Crossing a stretch of deep mountains, the Xuyou Mountain Demon Cult branch altar is located halfway up the main peak. There are two auxiliary halls and a main hall. Even though it is late at night, the lights are still bright inside.
Looking from a distance, inside the sub-altar, there are twelve patrol teams on the surface, but in fact there are eight more hiding in the dark. They are all on the top of trees, beams, dry wells, corners, etc., all of which are captured by Yi Xifeng's soul.
fundus.
It would definitely not work to fight head-on. The only option was to lurk in the dark and find Zhou Di's whereabouts first. Wang Bo was the assistant hall on the left, Li Xintian was the deputy hall on the right, and Yi Xifeng explored the main hall, and the three of them split up.
Yi Xifeng quietly disappeared into the darkness and soon arrived at the main hall. However, there were not many people guarding the huge main hall.
After some investigation, although Zhou Di was not found, his weapon - the crescent halberd was discovered.
Yi Xifeng quietly put Zhou Di's weapons into the cave, and then left the main hall.
Not long after leaving the main hall, I met Li Xintian. Looking at Li Xintian's empty hands, I knew that he had found nothing.
The two of them waited here for a while as planned, but after a long time, there was still no sign of Wang Bodang.
Then the two decided to go to Wang Bodang to explore.
As soon as I arrived near the auxiliary hall on the left, I saw a group of demon sect disciples outside the hall pressing hundreds of people into the hall.
"Brother Xifeng, what are they doing?"
Yi Xifeng shook his head and said:
"Let's go over and have a look."
The two of them followed the team into the auxiliary hall. The auxiliary hall seemed small, but there was a cave inside.
Thirty-six soul niches surround the central altar, and in addition there are three secret passages leading underground.
Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian patrolled for a long time, but did not see Wang Bodang. They guessed that Wang Bodang might have entered the secret passage.
However, there are a lot of people here. If Yi Xifeng wants to go in, he has to avoid the sight of these people. Fortunately, these people are not high in cultivation.
"Xintian, catch me."
When the girl heard this, she hugged Yi Xifeng's arm tightly, and then she saw that the surrounding scene suddenly became blurry.
Yi Xifeng took one step and teleported hundreds of feet away in the blink of an eye, directly stepping into the secret passage.
Everyone in the hall only felt a gust of wind blowing by, but found nothing unusual.
This was the first time that Li Xintian realized how fast Yi Xifeng was. If it were a duel, she might be captured before she had time to react.
When Yi Xifeng entered the secret passage, he found that his soul was hindered. It must be that there was a formation in the secret passage to isolate the soul.
"Xintian, if you are following me, you don't know where this secret passage leads to, so you should be careful." Yi Xifeng said through the message.
Li Xintian nodded and moved close behind Yi Xifeng.
The secret passage spiraled downward, and Yi Xifeng walked hundreds of steps before finding another secret door. The secret door was open, and there was a faint firelight shining inside. Yi Xifeng recognized that this place should be an underground prison.
Yi Xifeng was running the Nine Yang Divine Demonic Skill to alert the surroundings, and walked towards the door.
Although the dungeon is large, there are not many people imprisoned. There are only a few dying guys with unkempt faces lying on the ground. However, without exception, these people's cultivation is above the level of chivalrous people.
Yi Xifeng did not disturb them, but continued walking inside. After passing a corner, Yi Xifeng finally saw Wang Bodang's figure by the light of the fire.
At this time, Uncle Wang was half-crouching and looking cautiously ahead.
Yi Xifeng knew that once Wang Bodang showed this action, it meant that there was at least one strong enemy in front of him.
The person who could make Wang Bodang so vigilant must have a level of cultivation in the heroic realm.
Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian slowly approached, and after contacting Wang Bodang, they looked inside the cell together.
Layers of chains were wrapped around the prisoner's body. Li Xifeng took a closer look and knew that the chains were not ordinary objects.
Dark red light flashes from time to time on the chain, and Yi Xifeng guesses that this may be specially used to suppress the true energy.
In addition to the prisoner, there was another person standing in front of him in the building. This person was wearing a black robe, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. Even his cultivation level was very well hidden.
Fortunately, there is a formation here that hinders the exploration of the souls, so that the souls can only stay within three feet, otherwise they would have been discovered long ago.
Due to lighting problems, although Yi Xifeng couldn't see the prisoner's face, he could tell from his tall figure that he should be Zhou Di.
The location of Yi Xifeng and others was three hundred feet away from the prison in front of them. They did not dare to act rashly until they knew the opponent's strength.
Fortunately, the man in black robe didn't do anything to Zhou Di, but judging from his appearance, he should be communicating with each other spiritually.
The three of them waited for a long time, and then the man in black robe left the prison.
Not long after the man in black robe left, Yi Xifeng and the other three came to the prison. After breaking the door lock, they finally entered.
"Yi Xifeng? Wang Bodang? Li Xintian? Why are you here?"
Zhou Di was surprised and happy when he saw that the person who came was not a disciple of the Demon Cult.
At this time, Zhou Di's hair was disheveled, his clothes had several cuts, and the blood marks on his body had scabbed. Fortunately, the other party did not destroy Zhou Di's cultivation.
"Take this pill, and we'll rescue you first."
Yi Xifeng didn't say anything more, he took out a pill and put it into Zhou Di's mouth, and then started to unchain him.
At this time, Zhou Di said:
"Do not use real energy to destroy it. This chain is extremely sensitive to real energy, and it is also connected to the entire dungeon formation. Once they are alerted, you may not be able to get out."
Yi Xifeng nodded, held both sides of the chain with his white hands, and then used both arms to forcefully break the chain.
Although this chain is special, its material is ordinary and cannot withstand Yi Xifeng's power.
Li Xintian was not surprised, but Wang Bodang was a little dumbfounded. The chain was thicker than his arm. It was already a bit laborious just to grab it, but Yi Xifeng was able to break it directly.
The opponent's physical strength was far beyond Wang Bodang's imagination.
After the chains were removed, Zhou Di moved his muscles and bones. The elixir had been refined, and the injuries on his body had almost recovered.
At this time, Yi Xifeng raised his hand and threw it, conjuring a halberd out of thin air, which surprised Wang Bodang again.
"Your weapon."
Zhou Di stretched out his hand to catch it. With the relationship between them, there was no need to thank each other, and they quickly left for the exit of the secret passage.
However, before reaching the secret door of the secret passage, Zhou Di suddenly found a familiar lotus seal in the corner of a cell.
Yi Xifeng nodded, and Li Xintian used Wuxiang Gong to suck the seal over and handed it to Zhou Di.
Zhou Di took the seal and turned it over several times. He was very sure that it was the Buddhist seal of Daming Temple.
With this seal, Zhou Di finally knew where the abbot of Jingxu Temple was kidnapped.
Zhou Di's heart was very heavy, and the joy of just getting out of trouble was gone.
He looked at the empty cell and seemed to see how many disasters the monks of Jingxu Temple suffered here.
After sighing, Zhou Di put the seal away and everyone headed towards the entrance of the secret passage.
Yi Xifeng quickly arrived at the entrance of the secret passage first, and happened to see the last person being pulled by the blood-colored threads of the thirty-six soul niches, and all his flesh and blood was removed in an instant, leaving only a white skeleton.
As the thirty-six soul niches released black flames, the flames ignited the white bones along the blood-colored threads. In an instant, the white bones disappeared into smoke.
The flames on the soul niche became even stronger.
Seeing this scene, Yi Xifeng shuddered in his heart. He had seen many demonic techniques in the ancient books of the Zhenwu Dao Temple, but this was the first time he had seen such sinister ones.
A big living person didn't even take ten breaths before he was swallowed up by the soul niche without a trace, not even his bones were left.
After these hundreds of people were devoured, the demon sect disciples who were guarding them quickly left the place. Yi Xifeng guessed that they might be transporting another group of people.
Yi Xifeng and others took this opportunity to leave the side hall.
Seeing the demon sect disciples on the other side escorting a new group of people, Yi Xifeng and the other four fell silent.
"What should we do? Can we save him?" Wang Bodang asked, holding the silver gun tightly.
"Even if we are temporarily rescued, we still can't escape from Xuyou Mountain. There are more demon sect disciples outside." Zhou Di shook his head and said.
Li Xintian looked at Yi Xifeng. As long as brother Xifeng made a decision, she would definitely support it.
Yi Xifeng's eyes gradually became firm. He looked at everyone and said, "You go ahead and wait for me at the ruins of the cave. I'll go see if there are any children inside. I can take as many as I can."
After saying that, he nodded towards Li Xintian, and then he ascended the dragon with moon steps and soared into the sky.
It is nothing new that Yi Xifeng has special body skills and can fly in the air. However, Zhou Di and Wang Bodang are still a little worried.
Li Xintian said: "Let's go to Mi Qiongbei's side and wait. I believe brother Xifeng will be fine. By the way, Captain Zhou, we found a little girl in the ruins of the cave."
"Jinxia?!"
Zhou Di frowned.
…………
In the ruins of the cave, Michonbe was sitting at the entrance of the cave waiting for everyone to return. There was a faint fire in the cave behind her, which she used to keep the little girl warm.
While waiting, Michonbe yawned unconsciously, holding her delicate little face with her left hand, looking boredly ahead, and sometimes laughing from time to time, not knowing what she was thinking.
Suddenly, a sharp dagger was placed on her neck and pressed against her throat.
"If you don't want to die, don't move!"
Listening to the familiar voice, Michonbe's heart was shocked. She never expected that this frail little girl turned out to be a warrior! And when she was approaching her, she didn't notice it at all.
At this moment, Michonbe knew that they had fallen into a trap.
Jinxia's eyes were extremely cold, and her previous gentle look was completely gone. She skillfully removed the silver needles hidden on Mi Qiongbei's body, and even took off the hairpin and threw it on the ground.
"Go south, if you dare to look back you will be dead."
Michonbe swallowed, with the dagger pressed against her throat. She could only obey the other party's orders and walk south step by step.
…………
When Zhou Di and others arrived, the flames in the ruins of the cave had already been extinguished.
On the way here, Zhou Di told everyone about his experience of being captured.
He was practicing last night. After seeing so many demon sect disciples entrenched here, he wanted to go back to the Daming Temple tomorrow to find more people. Who would have thought that a mysterious man in black robes would suddenly destroy the cave.
In order to protect the little girl from being hurt, Zhou Di took the initiative to fly out of the cave and fight with the mysterious man.
Who would have thought that at the critical moment, Jinxia would suddenly attack, but fortunately he reacted in time and avoided the critical point.
With one against two, Zhou Di tried his best to strike and injured Jinxia, but was caught by the man in black robe and was finally taken to the prison of the Xuyou Mountain Demon Sect branch.
Li Xintian and Uncle Wang suddenly realized, no wonder this little girl survived and was not caught by the demon sect.
Now think about it carefully, when the little girl appeared to be dying, it turned out that she was injured by Zhou Di.
Everyone looked at the weapons and hairpins scattered at the entrance of the cave and knew that Michonbe had been taken away.
Wang Bodang rushed back to the cave, pinched the ashes left behind, and then said:
"It wasn't long after the flames went out. They shouldn't have gone far yet."
Li Xintian squatted down and put her palms close to the ground. Under the cover of Kun's eyes, she made a new discovery.
"There are shallow footprints here. They should have gone south."
Zhou Di, Uncle Wang's heart skipped a beat, to the south of Xuyou Mountain is the Devil's Cult's main altar - Fallen Dao Cliff!
"No, hurry up and chase after me!"
The three of them hurriedly chased south.
…………
Yi Xifeng released his spirit and swept it over the heads of many Demon Cult disciples and people, but did not find any children in the crowd.
Yi Xifeng sighed and was thinking about whether to leave. Suddenly, a breath came from the front and was approaching him very quickly.
"What happened, I was discovered."
Yi Xifeng was about to turn around and run away. At this time, there was an aura approaching him from behind, from the left and from the right, blocking his way.
"Fellow Daoist Yi, you are well." The person speaking behind him was none other than Su Xiaoxian. ()
