When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
The abnormality in the coach's palace made Ji Tianxing immediately realize that there might be an ambush here.
But then he thought about it, this shouldn't be the case.
Although, he announced the news during the day and would lead the army to go on an expedition tonight.
But he never revealed the information about where exactly he wanted to attack.
He didn't announce the answer until the army was about to arrive at Yulong Mountain. It was basically impossible to leak the news.
What's more, he used his spiritual consciousness to explore the commander's palace and found no powerful traps or ambushes.
There are just many defensive formations and secret passages, which are very ordinary.
"Since there is no ambush, why is the coach's palace empty?
Even if the demon generals don’t live here, why are there so few guards?”
Ji Tianxing secretly wondered, always feeling that something was wrong.
So, he quietly entered the depths of the commander's palace and approached several guards.
These guards guarded a secret passage. The ground and walls were made of black stone, and formations were arranged to isolate sounds and spiritual detection.
The passage winds downwards, seemingly leading to the underground beneath the Commander's Palace. It is so dark that nothing can be seen.
When Ji Tianxing came to them, they didn't notice it and were still whispering to each other.
"Have today's sacrifices been delivered?"
"General Hucha has just sent in more than 80,000 blood essences!
General Hucha took four Blood Lords and sneaked into the Chiyang Empire and massacred an entire city before collecting more than 80,000 qualified souls."
"Well, only those warriors who are at the Yuan Dan realm and above, and whose blood essences are considered brave, can be used by the Demon Saint."
"Shut up, have you forgotten the commander's order? Never discuss this matter again!"
"Stop talking, General Hucha and the four Blood Lords are coming out soon.
If he hears your discussion, watch your head!"
Several guards talked for a while and then quickly shut up.
Ji Tianxing frowned when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Sacrifice? More than 80,000 blood essences? For the Demon Saint?"
Could it be Demon Saint Cangyou?
He was seriously injured by me and needed a lot of blood essence to heal his injuries.
Unexpectedly, after he escaped back to the Chiyang Empire, he did not sit outside Tianlang Pass, but hid on Yulong Mountain.
It’s really unexpected!
If he is really hiding here, then I just caught him by mistake!"
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing's lips curled into a sneer, his eyes full of expectation.
He quietly walked through the dark passage and walked towards the depths of the passage.
After a hundred feet, there was a corner in the passage in front of him, which was also guarded by four guards.
He was about to cross the corner when he saw a tall and powerful demon general wearing black armor walking towards him with heavy steps.
This demon general's eyes are very sharp, his whole body exudes a frightening murderous aura, and his strength has reached the seventh level of the Tribulation Realm.
Ji Tianxing knew at a glance that this man must be a fierce general under the command of Demon Saint Cangyou, also known as General Hucha by the guards!
Sure enough, when the four guards saw General Hucha approaching, they quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted.
If it had been a normal day, Ji Tianxing would have killed General Hu Cha without saying a word.
But now the situation was special, involving Demon Saint Cangyou, so he suppressed his murderous intent and hid around the corner to wait.
It wasn't until General Hucha had gone far that he continued to move forward along the passage.
After another hundred feet, a tall stone gate appeared at the end of the passage.
The black stone door is engraved with the pattern of the devil, and a holy-level defense formation is arranged.
Ji Tianxing frowned and muttered to himself: "Once I break this formation, my mana will leak out and alert the guards in the passage.
Forget it, time is tight and I can’t take care of that much.”
He made up his mind and used the secret technique of the Divine Eye to observe the large formation on the stone gate.
In just a few breaths, he saw through this holy formation and figured out how to break it.
Then, he held the spell with both hands and began to cast the spell, shooting out a piece of holy white light and pouring it into the stone door.
The holy-level magic array on the stone gate was immediately corroded by the white light and dissipated quickly.
But at the same time, the white light and mana that appeared out of thin air also alerted the guards in the passage.
"There's a situation!"
"Go and see what's going on?"
"It's mana, it's human race!"
"Some powerful humans have invaded, come quickly!"
The originally silent passage immediately erupted with exclamations and shouts.
The eight guards all held swords and rushed over with murderous intent.
Ji Tianxing ignored them at all, stretched out his palms and slapped the stone door hard.
There was only a loud "bang" sound, and the ten-foot-high black stone door fell apart on the spot.
Countless gravels splashed out and were carried by the violent air waves, sweeping across the entire passage.
As soon as the eight guards rushed over, they were knocked backwards by the air wave.
Without looking at them, Ji Tianxing passed through the broken stone door and entered a vast hall.
This wide hall is the underground floor of the Commander's Palace, referred to as the underground palace.
The hall was a thousand feet in diameter, the light was very dim, and the air was filled with dark red mist.
The floors and walls made of black boulders are carved with patterns of ghosts, gods and Shura, which are hideous and terrifying.
In the middle of the hall, there is an altar nine feet high.
The altar was made of blood spar, and was dark red in color, mixed with many purple and green gems.
At the bottom of the altar is a blood pool with a radius of 100 meters, in which dark red blood surges and rises.
Around the altar, there are nine stone pillars carved with ancient monsters, vaguely arranged in a mysterious array.
Ji Tianxing only glanced at it twice, then frowned and sneered: "The soul-sealing blood-melting formation? It turned out to be an ancient secret method that was lost thousands of years ago, the top secret skill of the Blood Demon Path.
Apparently, this is another unique skill taught by the ancestor demon god."
The soul-sealing and blood-melting formation is a unique healing secret technique of the Blood Demon Path.
No matter how injured the powerful demons are, as long as their physical bodies are not destroyed, they can use altars and secret techniques to absorb the blood and soul of billions of living beings to recover from their injuries as quickly as possible.
When Ji Tianxing saw this formation, he was sure that Demon Saint Cangyou must be here!
As expected.
When he looked up at the top of the altar, he saw a black figure sitting cross-legged in a ball of blood.
It was a middle-aged demon man wearing a black robe, with a thin and muscular body and an appearance like a demon wolf.
He has strong arms and sharp claws, a giant triangular eye on his chest, a pair of wings and a big tail on his back.
It is none other than Demon Saint Cangyou!
At this moment, he was surrounded by dark red blood light, with his eyes closed, immersed in cultivation.
His figure was hazy and illusory, and his breath was fluctuating. It was obvious that he had not fully recovered from his injuries.
Ji Tianxing stepped under the altar, looked at him with a sneer, and said in a playful tone: "Cangyou, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
