"Elder Ghost, this old guy should know a lot. Don't let him blow himself up. Take him back and interrogate him strictly." Qian Renyue said to the ghost who was walking over.

"I understand, Your Highness. I will personally escort him back." Ghost replied.

"Elder Ju, Nana and Yan, the three of us will go to the village to have a look. The rest of us will escort these people back first and not get too close to the evil tree to avoid being contaminated." Qian Renyue turned to everyone and said.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Qian Renyue watched everyone walk back one after another, Qian Renyue held the scepter of life in her hand and headed towards the village. Hu Liena and Yan walked beside Qian Renyue, while Yue Guan stood at the back, just in case.

"Your Highness, why don't you use the Dragon Song Divine Sword? Wouldn't it be easier to attack?" Yan asked with some confusion.

"Although the Life Scepter has no offensive power, it is an artifact after all, and the sacred power contained in it is the nemesis of these evil spirits." Qian Renyue explained some. Detoured past the contaminated Tree of Life.

Perhaps because of the connection between the Tree of Life and the Scepter of Life, Qian Renyue seemed to be able to hear the cries for help and screams coming from the Tree of Life. Qian Renyue couldn't help but cover her stuffy chest and murmured: "Don't worry, I will save you."

Most of the villages are dilapidated and it seems that no one has lived there for a long time. Thick dust, spider webs everywhere and crumbling wood all indicate that there is no life in this village. But Qian Renyue and others still walked cautiously towards the depths.

Walk to the door of an ancestral hall. This ancestral hall is located in the deepest part of the village. There are no buildings around it. The ancestral hall is tightly against a big mountain behind it.

"Your Highness, be careful, there are traces of life here." Yueguan promptly reminded him.

"Understood. Is this where those people lived before?" Qian Renyue asked softly.

Gently pushing open the heavy door of the ancestral hall, two black figures jumped out.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Hu Liena and Yan quickly released their soul skills to attack the black shadow.

It turned out to be two century-old spirit beasts, the century-old Wind Tiger and the century-old Fire Lion. Both soul beasts were seriously injured.

Sensing Bi Ji's emotions, Qian Renyue stopped Hu Liena and Yan who were about to attack, "Why are there soul beasts here? In captivity? Nana, please go and call Na'er over."

"Yes, Your Highness." Hu Liena nodded, turned around and immediately ran out of the village.

"The first soul skill, Angel's Blessing." Qian Renyue released her soul skill to heal the injuries of the two soul beasts. Seeing that the two soul beasts had settled down, she gradually felt relieved.

"Yan, let the two little guys rest here first. Let's go in and take a look."

"Okay." Yan quickly followed and did not take back his martial soul. This place was still very dangerous after all.

After entering the ancestral hall, the originally gloomy and scary ancestral hall finally became normal after opening the door and letting in the sunlight. Although the ancestral hall is in tatters, it is still intact. However, apart from some regular supplies, there was nothing else inside.

Qian Renyue looked around strangely. She felt so strange here, and the sense of violation was very serious. After all, having read so many novels and TV series in her previous life, Qian Renyue's first reaction was that there might be a secret room here.

Thinking of the possibility of a secret room, Qian Renyue immediately released her consciousness and started sensing. However, the existence of the secret room was not sensed, but the spiritual consciousness was blocked behind the central stone statue and where it connected with the mountain.

Qian Renyue clenched the scepter of life in her hand and walked towards the stone statue.

"Your Highness, I'm coming. Be careful." Yueguan protected Qian Renyue behind him and walked over first.

After walking to the stone statue, what comes into view is a smooth wall with a material that is obviously different from the ancestral hall building.

"This is a stone wall made of special ore, which can block spiritual consciousness. It seems that there is something behind this wall." Yueguan raised his hand and gently attached it to the wall, and said to Qian Renyue.

"Can Elder Ju sense what's behind it?" Qian Renyue asked. Not knowing what's behind the wall, Qian Renyue didn't dare to rashly let Yue Guan break the stone wall. Even though Yue Guan was a Titled Douluo.

Yue Guan shook his head and said, "Since I can't sense it, I can only break it down. It's not difficult to break down the stone wall." Yue Guan looked at Qian Renyue, wanting to hear Qian Renyue's opinion.

"The fourth soul skill: Angel Aid." Qian Renyue released his fourth soul skill. I saw a golden shield appearing on both of them. Qian Renyue nodded towards Yueguan.

Yue Guan also summoned his own strange velvet Tongtianju. Under Yueguan's attack, the stone wall collapsed.

The two of them stood ready, expecting a sudden attack. But what he didn't want to see was a passage without any light.

Yan came over: "Elder Ju, Your Highness. Nana and Na'er are here. They are accompanying the two spirit beasts at the door. Elder Gui was worried and also came with him."

"Just in time, the old ghost is here, so we can go in and take a look at ease. Yan, come and light it." Yue Guan pointed to the dark passage.

Yan ignites a fire and lights up the dark passage. The three of them walked in.

The passage is very long, and the further you go inside, the colder it gets. After walking for a while, other forks appeared, leading to different places.

Qian Renyue used his spiritual sense to explore, but the surrounding area seemed to be covered with rare ores similar to stone walls, making it difficult for his spiritual sense to explore further.

Yue Guan pondered for a moment and said to Qian Renyue: "The old ghost is outside, Nana and the others don't need to worry too much. Why don't you check them one by one."

"Okay. Elder Ju, be careful." Qian Renyue nodded.

"You too." Yue Guan nodded towards the two of them. Take the lead and walk towards one of the forks.

The three of them walked in this secret passage for a long time. Each small branch road connected different secret rooms, some were large and some were small. Some of the secret rooms are clean, some have a lot of old bloodstains on the walls, and some have a lot of bones left inside, including those of humans and spirit beasts. But all the secret rooms were emptied, and nothing was left.

"It seems that they have noticed Wuhun Palace's pursuit and have evacuated this place." Qian Renyue looked at the traces left behind and said with a bad expression, "But it doesn't look like they can evacuate this place temporarily. Look, The traces have been cleared for a while. I’m afraid the old man in black robe was just giving us a casual explanation.”

"There is still one last passage that I haven't seen yet. Do you want to continue?" Yueguan asked.

"Let's take a look and record it first. Let those who are in their positions and do not seek their own policies see how rampant the evil soul masters are now." Qian Renyue said.

When the three of them reached the last secret room, they suddenly heard a movement.

"There is someone, please be careful." Yueguan said quickly to the two of them.

When he opened the door of the last secret room, he found several babies under three years old inside, as well as some soul beasts locked in cages. There are also three women who are chained, with empty eyes and half-clothed clothes.

Qian Renyue immediately stepped forward, took out some robes from the soul guide and covered the three women. Yan was checking the babies' vital signs.

"Your Highness, they are not in good condition." Yan shouted quickly.

Qian Renyue said nothing and quickly released her soul skills to treat several people. Although the injuries of several people have improved, their eyes are still empty and they seem to have no reaction to what is happening in the outside world.

"Take them out first, and let's talk about how to deal with them later." Yueguan sighed. I'm afraid this matter is very involved and won't be easy to solve.

"Don't worry, Elder Ju. The next thing will be left to us, the Blade of the Empire. This is the content of our divine examination." Qian Renyue took a step forward and said to Yueguan.

Yue Guan chuckled and thought to himself: This future will eventually be the future of you young people.
