Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"Let me take a look at the situation first!"

Zhong Ming took the bone flute, looked at it, and frowned.

"This flute made of human bones... just touching it makes people feel uncomfortable... To be honest, when I heard the sound of Li Yin playing the bone flute during the vocal competition yesterday, I felt an inexplicable aversion... Grape and the others felt the same... People who are good at vocal music are very sensitive to the emotions in the sound..."

"Simply talking about this instrument... there are indeed many people who use special materials to make it, but it is extremely rare to use human bones to make it. Even if the vocal skills are very high, it is inevitable that other vocalists will reject it... And I know of a school that uses human bones to make instruments, and they use the method of digging out human sternums... There is only one school that has done this!"

Under the gaze of Ye Fan and Liu Mengying, Zhong Ming slowly spoke.

"Sect? What sect?"

Ye Fan frowned slightly.

"Yin Gu's former mortal enemy, the Demonic Sound Sect!"

Zhong Ming exhaled lightly and said in a deep voice: "More than two hundred years ago, when Yin Valley was still one of the five sects... and the Demonic Sound Sect was Yin Valley's biggest enemy... The Demonic Sound Sect was not Yin Valley's opponent at first, but no one knows what happened afterwards. Their sect leader seemed to have some kind of adventure, and his cultivation suddenly skyrocketed... The sonic mystical skills he practiced were extremely sinister, and combined with the sonic attack weapons made of human bones, he was able to suppress Yin Valley..."

"The Demonic Sound Sect also invented a very strange method. With the help of the remains of the Xuan bones of the Venerable-level strongmen, various attack arrays can be arranged... If the Venerable-level Xuan bones are used to make weapons, the power of the Venerable-level strongmen in their lifetime can even be exerted... So the Demonic Sound Sect began to cause trouble... Many Venerable-level strongmen in the sect were attacked..."

"Afterwards, the Demonic Sound Sect aroused public anger. Led by the Mingyuan Royal Family, many sects sent people to strangle them... The then Master of the Sound Valley even went there in person... But he never came back and disappeared since then..."

"Among the people who went to kill the Demon Sound Sect, only a few returned. According to the news from the Mingyuan royal family at that time, the Demon Sound Sect had been completely wiped out... For more than two hundred years after that, there has indeed been no news about the Demon Sound Sect in the martial arts world..."

"There is a rumor in the Sound Valley that the Sound Valley and the Demonic Sound Sect used to be from the same sect, but one of them became too evil, which led to the irreconcilable split between the two sides..."

At the end of the story, Zhong Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother... this description by Senior Zhong Ming... the seven-stringed harp we found earlier... the killing array set up with the noble skulls... could it be that the ruins in the Ailao Forest are the place where the Lord of the Sound Valley fought against the Demonic Sound Sect!"

After listening to Zhong Ming's story, Liu Mengying immediately had an idea.

"possible!"

Ye Fan nodded. Zhong Ming was about to speak excitedly, but Ye Fan spoke first, "Xiao Douya, did you draw the three strange people we met in Ailao Forest before?"

"some!"

As soon as Liu Mengying finished speaking, a light flashed on her hand, and a thick stack of picture albums appeared in her hand. She quickly flipped through them and soon pointed to one of the paintings to Zhong Ming. It was the Xu Jiangtao who was wearing clothes with musical note patterns and Lu Saomei who was wearing colorful clothes with a snake wrapped around her body that Ye Fan and others had encountered.

"This... this dress... Demonic Sound Sect?"

Zhong Ming was shocked when he saw the lifelike characters in Liu Mengying's album.

"Oh my god... Xu Jiangtao is really from the Demonic Sound Sect... The guy behind him is probably dead too..."

As he spoke, Ye Fan flipped a few pages back again, and saw an old man standing in the air, wearing clothes with music score patterns and a black robe.

"This... this clothing is indeed from the Demonic Sound Sect... there is no mistake... the music scores on the Demonic Sound Sect's clothing are quite special. They look like music scores, but in fact they are slightly different from the real music scores... and the music score patterns on their clothes are all painted with blood!"

Zhong Ming looked carefully at the portrait in the album and said in a deep voice.

"It seems that... the Demonic Sound Sect has not been wiped out at all..."

Liu Mengying blinked and said.

"Master Zhong, the Demonic Sound Sect has many enemies. If they are so easy to identify, these two people are too ostentatious... The strongest old man is only at the third level of the King Rank at most!"

Ye Fan expressed his doubts.

"This... this is indeed a bit... but... but no one would pretend to be a member of the Demonic Sound Sect, right? There is no benefit in doing this... and it will even attract the pursuit of the enemies of the Demonic Sound Sect!"

Zhong Ming frowned, looking confused.

"Brother, these three people might be from the Demonic Sound Sect. They seemed to be looking for a human-faced ghost baby... It was their sect leader's idea... What did they want to do with the human-faced ghost baby?"

At this time, Liu Mengying spoke.

"What the hell...it's a bit complicated..."

Ye Fan scratched his head.

"Ye Fan, can you tell me the exact location in Ailao Forest where you encountered someone who might be from the Demonic Sound Sect? And also the place where you found the seven-stringed harp!"

Zhong Ming spoke to Ye Fan with a serious expression.

"Sure! There are more detailed records in Xiao Douya's album!"

Ye Fan nodded slightly, "But I advise you not to go alone or with Grape. If you run into that third-grade king-level old man, you might die in one encounter!"

"Well, I'll think about it carefully!"

Zhong Ming agreed seriously.

the other side,

Black Moon Chamber of Commerce,

“You bury flowers today and people laugh at you as a fool, but who knows who will bury you next year… Once spring is over, your face will be old, and when flowers fall and people die, no one knows… You have a fate but no luck…”

Yu Youwei looked at a piece of paper in her hand and murmured, her face already in tears.

"Youwei...are you...okay?"

Yao Yue on the side looked at Yu Youwei, who had been in a daze for a while, with some confusion, and on the table not far from her there was a flower mask.

“No…no!”

Yu Youwei wiped her tears and shook her head slightly, "Yaoyue, this vocal competition actually attracted such a great person, and they even created such a masterpiece as "Song of Burying Flowers"!"

"No!"

Yao Yue waved her hand slightly. "The person who composed the poem "Song of Burying Flowers" was not the one who participated in the vocal competition, but a young man named Zhang San. I guess it's a fake name, but he and Putao must have a special relationship. This poem "Song of Burying Flowers" was composed by him after Putao started to speak!"

"And I heard from Grape that the piece "Pipa Xing" that won her the championship in the vocal competition this time was also composed by Zhang San!"

After a pause, Yao Yue added.

"Grape? The courtesan of Qushui Liushang?"

Yu Youwei frowned slightly.

"Yes, that girl is not simple. Her talent in vocal music is said to be the strongest in the history of Sound Valley... Her talent in cultivation is also excellent. However, because she is obsessed with vocal music, her current strength is only at the eighth level of the general rank!"

"But if she cooperates with Yin Gu's sonic mystical skills, I'm afraid even Hou Jie won't be able to get the upper hand from her!"

Yao Yue explained quickly.

"That's it..."

Yu Youwei looked at the paper with "Flower Burial Song" in her hand for a while and said, "Yaoyue, can you arrange for me to meet the young man named Zhang San?"
