After practicing the ruthless way, the little sister is too strong

The feeling of weightlessness is obvious, but the invisible magic circle in the cliff is obviously a teleportation array.

After passing through an invisible barrier, a huge lake appeared before our eyes.

Xia Ling was about to mobilize his spiritual power to steady his body, but found that his spiritual power was suppressed and he could only mobilize a little bit.

I tried to summon Qian Xuan again, but got no response.

Exactly the same situation as in Shadow Forest.

This is, a success?

Using spiritual sense to scan the surroundings, although the surroundings are unfamiliar, it is indeed the Shadow Forest.

It seems that Hell Cliff is indeed the exit.

The two seniors who left the letter were probably caught off guard, allowing the poisonous fog to take effect and causing them to lose themselves.

But now is not the time to think about that.

The direction of the fall is the center of the lake, and if you fall down, you will probably become extremely embarrassed.

Xia Ling's spiritual power was suppressed and he was unable to steer the sword. Just as he was about to take out the defensive talisman, his body suddenly flew into the air.

Chu Yunshu, who came from nowhere, carried her on his shoulders, stepped on the protruding stone walls or thick branches, and took her to avoid the lake and go down together.

A familiar pose, but the roles have been reversed.

Being carried didn't feel comfortable, and it wasn't like she couldn't handle the current situation.

Xia Ling was not used to it: "...let go."

"Okay." Chu Yunshu responded, and stepped on the leaves in mid-air to cross the lake. When he reached the open space, he subconsciously threw Xia Ling into the grass like a sack.

There was a bang.

When Chu Yunshu came to his senses and realized what he had done, he stiffened slightly, quickly stepped forward, bent down and extended his hand to Xia Ling.

"...Sorry, I was distracted just now."

"...It's okay, I don't mind." Xia Ling, who was thrown to the ground, looked uncharacteristically gentle, and raised his hand to shake hands with a smile.

He said one thing and did another, but he exerted some strength.

When his hand turned red from the pain, Xia Ling stood up and said innocently, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Chu Yunshu lowered his eyes and looked at his blue hands, and chuckled, "Yeah, I know."

Seeing his reaction, Xia Ling lost interest in talking.

Just as she was about to explore the surroundings, Chu Yunshu suddenly stepped forward, held her shoulders, and jumped onto the tree with her.

Xia Ling didn't think that he had suddenly gone crazy, and didn't resist.

Hiding behind the shade of a tree, I was about to ask him what he meant when he gestured to keep quiet. At the same time, he took out a magic ball from somewhere and threw it into the air.

The balloons surrounded them, forming a protective circle.

His action clearly showed that he had discovered something was wrong. Xia Ling cooperated by keeping quiet and restraining his aura.

After waiting for a while, several men in black robes came from a distance and threw a drop of blood into the lake.

In just a few seconds, the water on the lake was pushed to both sides, and in the center, a vortex-shaped teleportation array came into view.

Xia Ling's pupils shrank slightly.

No wonder they searched almost half of the forest a while ago but couldn't find the hiding place of these black-robed people. They didn't expect that they were hiding under the lake...

"The passage is about to close. Do you want to go up and take a look?" Chu Yunshu's voice sounded in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Xia Ling had just that in mind, so he quietly jumped under the tree and, using the speed of the Wind Spirit Technique, successfully entered the passage just before it disappeared.

But Chu Yunshu seemed to be a step slower.

Xia Ling habitually glanced at the gap that was about to close, but could not see his face, only his back as he left in the opposite direction.

"..."

Perhaps it was because no matter what danger they encountered during this period, Chu Yunshu stuck to her like a follower, and insisted on doing so despite her dissuasion.

Xia Ling subconsciously thought that this time was the same, but the contradictory facts made her feel subtle.

After a moment of silence, he took back one of the Concealment Pills he had taken out, took the other one himself, and kept a distance, following the man in black robe as carefully as possible.

……fair enough.

Anyway, now that they have come out of the virtual world, Chu Yunshu's cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, so he should be able to leave the Shadow Forest smoothly.

There is really no need to follow her into this muddy water.

And there was no need for her to have any further relationship with the disciples of Yinmiao Sect. They were just passing acquaintances.

That was the end of the thought about him, and Xia Ling quickly put it out of her mind.

Following the man in black robe, we passed by hundreds of tents and finally arrived in front of a tall tower.

A strong smell of blood wafted from this tall tower, and the black-robed man guarding outside had already reached the level of a spirit being.

Just in case, Xia Ling took out the god-level robes obtained from the dragon vein and put them on.

The function of the robe is to conceal the body shape and aura, making it difficult for even the strong ones in the Void Realm to detect it, so she is not worried about being discovered.

Successfully followed the man in black to the first floor.

The scene before him shocked Xia Ling.

The place was filled with corpses and pools of blood, and rows of cells were filled with young men and women.

Most of them were the owners of portraits that Xia Ling had seen on the list of missing persons.

In other words, those detained here are the missing persons.

The most chilling thing was that their hearts were dug out. The formation under their feet was constantly eroding their vitality, gathering it and transmitting it to a certain place.

Xia Ling looked around but didn't find a single living being.

They have all become... corpses.

"Why did that person suddenly come here to investigate? Didn't someone come here to inspect a few days ago?"

"It is said that the formation points in Beiling Country and the northern area of ​​the cultivation world were destroyed. He was worried that this place would be discovered, so he came here to inspect."

"Tsk, these two places are probably being investigated by people from Wangyue Sect. They are really getting in the way."

"Who says it's not true? According to the original plan, it would have been completely successful within a year. But now, because of these people's disturbance, it has to be postponed again."

The conversation between the two men in black robes was clearly audible.

Xia Ling listened quietly behind them and followed them quietly to the second floor.

Similar to the first floor, it is still filled with rows of cages.

But unlike the first floor, the prisoners on the second floor are all monks.

The first level is filled with mortals who have no spiritual power.

The higher you go, the fewer people are imprisoned.

At the same time, their cultivation level becomes higher.

However... no matter what their cultivation level was, their hearts were dug out, their hands and feet were cut off, and they were left to be slaughtered and killed.

In addition, Chunyu's spiritual power and vitality were completely drained by the magic circle.

It was unknown where the absorbed power gathered, but judging from the fluctuations of spiritual power, it seemed to be gathering above the tower.

There must be something on the top floor...

The art of sacrifice is often used for summoning.

Could it be that the purpose of these people is really to summon the unknown destructive existence that is said to be able to destroy the world of cultivation "monster"?

These black-robed people are generally ghost cultivators who have gone astray.

Do they really have no connection with the Su family or the Guisha Sect from hundreds of years ago?

The injustice that Su Lan mentioned, is it true that it is all a false accusation as he said?

Xia Ling clenched his fists. Seeing such a bloody scene, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

The conversation between the men in black robes continued.

“But they did pay a price. Didn’t the six disciples of Wangyue Sect disappear? Their current status is unknown.

The second disciple was fighting against Gui Ming when he broke through and was suddenly struck by lightning. Although Gui Ming died, his condition was not much better.

The others were more or less seriously injured, but we are not the only ones who suffered.”

"Haha, yes."

"Shh, stop talking for now. He's checking the magic circle on the sixth floor, let's get out of the way first."

"Then don't leave. I don't want to run into that female devil."

"How dare you call that person like that! Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Don't shout so loudly. Can't I complain secretly?"

They took a detour, and Xia Ling did not follow them, walking towards the suspended stairs leading to the upper floor.

Could the 'person' they are referring to be the real culprit behind this conspiracy?

What kind of existence could cause chaos on the mainland and command a group of powerful cultivators...

Master and senior brothers...are they all okay now?
