Time was short and the task was heavy, so Taoist Yuqing urgently visited the Long family, got straight to the point, explained the situation to them in detail, and stated his needs. He hoped that Long Ye could lead a few people to rescue the captured people while he was dealing with Yanxu.

After learning about the situation, Long Yunfeng made a quick decision and ordered Long Ye to take his team to rescue the trapped people, and emphasized the need to respond flexibly and closely cooperate with the Taoist priest's actions.

Long Ye accepted the task without hesitation, but Taoist Yuqing also instructed that the team members must be physically strong and have practical combat experience.

The Taoist priest explained that because the target location is filled with extremely yin energy, healthy and strong people have strong yang energy. In addition, soldiers who have been on the battlefield and killed people have the aura of killing and the smell of blood on them, which can to a certain extent resist the entry of yin energy into the body and reduce damage to the body.

Long Ye nodded, agreeing with the Taoist's careful consideration. This mission was unusual and unconventional, so everything needed to be done with greater caution.

Long Ye quickly assembled five battle-hardened warriors and equipped them with a variety of weapons, preparing them to at least delay time appropriately and have a chance to rescue the captured person if they could not kill the old Taoist priest directly.

Everything was ready, and the team boarded the military helicopter and headed directly to the destination, but they found that a person inexplicably appeared in the team.

"Ji Zheng? Why are you here?" Long Ye asked with a frown. He did not notify him.

Ji Zheng got on the plane in a nonchalant manner and sat down, saying in a shameless manner: "I came here by myself. Who told you not to take me with you? Anyway, I will follow you when you go on missions in the future. Don't think of getting rid of me."

Long Ye shook his head, got on the plane and sat down, and warned him seriously: "Okay, but you must follow my orders."

"Yes, my captain!" Ji Zheng responded immediately, and then secretly high-fived the person next to him. Long Ye realized that someone had tipped him off.

In order not to alert the enemy, the plane landed 5 miles away from the destination. The team members hid carefully and waited for the night to fall.

"Master, why don't we go directly to their hiding place and take them down in one fell swoop? Why do we have to wait until night?" Ji Zheng asked puzzledly.

Taoist Master Yuqing thought for a while and said calmly: "Because I don't know where they are hiding, I only know their final destination."

Everyone was stunned. Even the Taoist priest couldn’t figure it out. It seemed that this person must be very powerful.

"How did the Taoist know that they would go to that mass graveyard to commit the crime at night?"

This question was asked by Long Ye. Taoist Yuqing looked at him and gave him a mysterious smile.

"This news was passed to me by a master."

Seeing that Taoist Yuqing was unwilling to say more, Long Ye did not ask any more questions, and everyone waited quietly.

Time passed by minute by minute, night fell, and soon it was the appointed time. Taoist Yuqing went ahead to investigate the situation, and Long Ye led the team to the destination quickly.

At this time, the cemetery was in the dark, the wind was blowing, and it was surrounded by a thick layer of dark clouds, which made the already gloomy place even more terrifying. The moonlight occasionally penetrated the clouds, shining on the empty field in patches, reflecting the chill.

In the center of the venue, Taoist Master Yanxu, dressed in a black robe and with a solemn expression, was busy with a complicated formation.

The formation was composed of various strange symbols and black stones. There were seven exquisite altars in the center. On each altar lay an unconscious person. They were the people who were born in the seven yin times, yin months and yin years.

At this moment they are just in a coma and are not in danger of life. However, when the time comes and the formation is activated, the Yin Qi in their bodies will be slowly extracted to nourish the Yin Sha Body Refining Formation that is about to take shape. After success, all of it will flow into Taoist Yanxu's body. By then, their power will be greatly increased, and they will directly enter the path of evil, and the conspiracy will be accomplished.

Also standing present was a tall, thin, haggard-looking young man holding a whisk. He was Yanxu's apprentice, and Yanxu named him Qingfeng.

Qingfeng quietly watched the master busying around, his eyes full of respect, but also mixed with a hint of worry. Will the master succeed?

As Taoist Master Yuqing approached quietly, Taoist Master Yanxu's keen perception quickly realized that someone was coming, but he was not in a hurry and even showed a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.

Taoist Master Yuqing carefully observed the situation. The formation was about to be completed and could be activated when the time came. It would be difficult to stop it at that time.

As the confrontation approaches, the air is filled with tension and depression.

Taoist Master Yuqing walked out with a swagger and said slowly: "Brother, stop it. What you are pursuing is only temporary strength, but at the cost of sacrificing innocent people. This goes against our Tao heart."

After hearing this, Taoist Yanxu curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, his eyes full of disdain.

"Brother, you are still as pedantic as ever. The path to becoming a strong man is full of sacrifices. I am just pursuing a higher realm. What's wrong with that?"

"You are wrong because you have taken the wrong path." Taoist Master Yuqing said sternly, "True cultivation is the inner cultivation and the respect and awe for life. If you do this, you will only fall into an abyss from which there is no return."

Before he finished speaking, Taoist Yanxu suddenly stretched out his body and pounced on Taoist Yuqing like a ghost, at an astonishing speed. He held a strange magic weapon in his hand and sent out a stream of black light, with a biting chill and a strong evil aura, directly attacking Taoist Yuqing's vital points.

Taoist Yuqing looked solemn, but his steps were extremely agile. He slightly turned his body and easily avoided Yanxu's attack. At the same time, he waved his whisk, and a cold sword intent attacked Yanxu along with the dance of the whisk.

The two of them immediately fell into a fierce battle.

The sounds of whisks colliding with magical instruments, and of fists and feet clashing, intertwined together and echoed over the cemetery.

Suddenly a voice interrupted their fight.

"Master, the formation has been set up, and the time is coming."

Yanxu looked at Yuqing proudly, "Brother, you can't beat me. Even if I don't succeed, you are still not my opponent."

"Then give it a try."

Yuqing continued to attack him, trying to drag him down so that Long Ye and the others would have a chance to rescue people and destroy the formation.

Long Ye, who had already arrived and was hiding in the dark, was closely watching the situation on the field, looking for an opportunity to rush out and quickly rescue the seven people.

Qingfeng, who was watching the fight on the side, suddenly smiled strangely and slowly walked towards the dark shadow next to him. Looking at the little Taoist priest walking over, Long Ye immediately realized that they had been discovered.

Long Ye gave an order: "Action!"

Then he quickly stood up, raised his hand and fired a shot at the little Taoist priest. The little Taoist priest actually stretched out his hand to block the bullet, and a hole was shot through the palm of his hand, but he did not react at all. He just glanced at his palm indifferently and attacked them.

Long Ye stepped forward to fight with him, and the others quickly rushed into the formation and wanted to take them away.

When they came into the formation, they instantly felt a biting cold all over their bodies, as if they were in an ice cellar.

Several people ran to the altar and wanted to help the people lying on it and take them away, but they couldn't do it. It was as if the people were stuck to the altar and couldn't move.

Everyone tried their best to move but to no avail, so they had to report to the captain: "Captain, we can't move anyone."

"Hahaha, don't even think about saving them." The little Taoist priest was quickly dealt with by Long Ye and fell to the ground, spitting out blood, but he couldn't help but feel proud, "They have been locked up by the formation and can't get out."

After hearing this, Long Ye and others looked at the surrounding situation with a serious expression.

"Master Yuqing, what should we do?" Long Ye had no choice but to ask the Taoist priest.

Taoist Master Yuqing pulled away and replied: "Destroy the Yin Sha Heart in the middle of the altar. That is the core that drives the formation. Hurry! There is no time."

After hearing what Taoist Yuqing said, Long Ye and others immediately focused their attention on the Yin Sha Heart in the center of the altar.

When they tried to get closer, Taoist Master Yanxu immediately shouted, "You want to destroy the altar? Dream on."

Then he quickly threw out a talisman, and a large amount of Yin energy gathered from the surroundings to the center, forming an invisible barrier that blocked Long Ye and others out.

They tried their best to break through the barrier and get closer but were shaken away.

Suddenly, a ray of bright moonlight broke through the heavy clouds and shone onto the center of the altar.

The sudden light made everyone stop what they were doing and look up at the bright moon.

When Taoist Yanxu saw this, a cunning light flashed in his eyes. While everyone was distracted, he quickly took out a bead that was shining with a red glow from his arms. It was the "Blood Moon Bead" that he had refined in advance with his own blood and essence. He threw it into the Yinsha Heart and began to mutter a spell silently.

As Taoist Master Yanxu chanted the last spell, the entire altar seemed to be activated by an invisible force, emitting bursts of roaring sounds. The air around it seemed to stop flowing instantly, and only the center of the altar began to absorb the Yin Qi in the bodies of several people.

"Oh no, the formation has begun." Taoist Yuqing's face became nervous.

"Captain, the situation is critical, what should we do?" Ji Zheng's voice was full of urgency. Looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, he looked at Long Ye from time to time, hoping to get a solution.

However, Long Ye's eyes were still fixed on the sky, his brows furrowed. Ji Zheng, who did not receive a reply, called out again, "Captain?"

Ji Zheng followed Long Ye's line of sight and looked upwards. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "What is that?"

They saw a dark shadow suspended in the air above them, motionless, and it seemed to be a human figure.

Long Ye retracted his gaze and turned to Ji Zheng, his tone full of coldness and calmness: "Ji Zheng, pay close attention to that black shadow, and fire if there is anything wrong."

"Yes." After saying that, he took the rocket launcher from his teammate next to him and prepared himself.

At this time, Lin Dai, who was sitting leisurely on the Snow Soul, was looking down at the scene below. The system's voice sounded happily in her mind:

"Haha... Miss, they're going to shoot at you."
