My Taoist companion just wants to welcome and refuse

In the sanctuary, Xia Qi glanced around and saw that most of the disciples of Cang Chen and Chang Yao had left, and suddenly realized that they had missed the Qing Yan, and his heart sank.

Two familiar figures came towards him, Su Ling and Fu Wan with solemn faces.

Su Ling didn't babble and joke like usual, and explained concisely about the two magic circles hidden in the southwestern suburbs and the resident, as well as the whereabouts of Qingyan and Wen Yuxie.

Xia Qi frowned deeply, the disappearing ogre vine really went to another place to cause another disaster, but what he was most worried about was his Taoist companion.

Su Ling and the others did not mention any unusual signs of Qing Yan...but how could there be no abnormalities?The Qing banquet must have taken into account the urgency of the situation and did not show any clues.

This speculation made him even more worried, and his already hanging heart rolled off the edge of the cliff, crumbling.

He frowned for a moment, forcing himself to do business first.

The disciples who returned from the border were exhausted, and they happened to take turns with the remaining disciples in the shelter, staying in the station for recuperation.

After the demon hunters and Chang Yao disciples had assembled, Fu Wan stayed in the shelter just in case.He solemnly told Fu Wan to be careful, and left the barrier with Su Ling.

This is Xia Qi's second visit to the southwestern suburbs.

Not long ago, he blasted the "alive" magic vines to pieces, and the turbulent flow of spiritual energy from the explosion of the magic circle swept across the southwestern suburbs. The magic seeds were briefly emptied, and half of the plants that were full of magic energy were shaved bald.

In the dense forest now, except for the traces left by the huge magic vines passing through a few hours ago, the rest of the vines that have been ravaged by the explosion are as obedient as dead objects, motionless.

Xia Qi's sharp eyes saw that many plants along the way were covered by the wind, so they avoided him silently.

At this moment, he didn't have the heart to beat these trivial matters, the matter of the magic circle was too important, he and Su Ling were leading the disciples, and followed the traces at full speed.

There are two magic circles that transferred the demonization and demon cultivators from Lingying Mountain, located in the Shifang Pavilion and the southwestern suburbs.The situation in the resident is unknown, and it is the hiding place of the people behind the scenes. The danger can be imagined, and the three sects should have entered together.

But time is too late, we have to split up and work together to curb the source of the monsters.As long as there is a slight mistake in one place, the leaked demonization and demon cultivators will set off a bloodbath.

He was concerned about Qing Yan's safety, but his cultivation was not enough to enter Qing Yan's sea of ​​consciousness, so he couldn't take the initiative to contact the other party.He had no choice but to leave a message in the mustard, and then checked repeatedly, but he never received a reply.

Xia Qi was worried, his brows were not loosened, his face seemed a bit cold and distant.

He suddenly noticed that the people around him touched him with their spiritual sense, as if they had something to say, to test his cold face a little.

Since the last time, everyone in Xiaoshan and Su Ling explored the southwestern suburbs together. In order to protect his disciples from being injured, Su Ling rested at Changyao after returning to the shelter. The two hadn't talked for a long time except for business.

And now that he knows what Su Ling is hiding, it will be difficult to get along with Su Ling as he did five years ago.

He thought that Su Ling was going to make fun of the lively and tense atmosphere again, but when the other party cleared his throat, his tone was serious and slightly apologetic.

"Xiao Qi, last time I escaped from the southwestern suburbs, I didn't mean to lead the wrong way. But it is my fault that I caused everyone to be injured. I have never had the opportunity to apologize to Xiaoshan..."

Xia Qi was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that Su Ling would take the initiative to bring up this matter, after all it was related to the person she wanted to protect in every possible way.

Su Ling should have guessed that Fu Wan had talked with him about taking him the wrong way, but he didn't come to confront him, so he knew about Su Qunyun.

He couldn't help but feel a little helpless, Su Ling was born in a decent family, and he still has openness in his bones.She can distinguish between good and evil and right and wrong, even if she insists on doing her own thing, she never turns her choice upside down.

Xia Qi thought silently, Su Ling was injured while saving his disciples at that time, he must have not expected that Su Qunyun would even deceive his own family, so he showed anger and surprise when he fell into the trap.

Now the two have their own choices, and Xia Qi also knows that there is no way to persuade them, so there is no need to delve into the matter of Su Qunyun.

He just reminded in a low voice: "Auntie, now that half of Shen Xinghai's enchantment has collapsed, and even more ferocious monsters have returned to various states, our party has no way out, and we cannot make mistakes. If the evil trouble cannot be completely eliminated in the end, all the efforts so far will be in vain. In vain, including the sacrifice of Zhuxi Patriarch."

Xia Qi's mind was too chaotic, and his words were a bit harsh and blunt, even using bamboo streams as sharp thorns to pierce into Su Ling's hard ice shell.

Now that the elders who treated him well are all in trouble, and the Taoist couple is unpredictable, it is impossible to be completely fearless.Su Ling is always paranoid about being dangerous and not caring. He is really afraid that the other party will make something irreversible and hurt his own choice.

Su Ling's face turned pale when he heard the words, as if he had already planned in his heart, and his helpless tone was somewhat determined: "I know the seriousness of the matter... My purpose of making the evil trouble disappear is no different from yours."

Xia Qi nodded, he always believed that Su Ling would not harm innocent people, and he could not force Su Ling to make a choice between righteousness and his family, after all, it would be a bad choice for him.

After stating the importance of the matter, he then softened his tone: "I believe in you. Nanfeng's trip is dangerous, and there are many people accompanying him, so don't force it alone."

Su Ling was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that Xia Qi was particularly shadowed by the death escape five years ago, and now he was also worried about her, so he couldn't help but frowned, showing a bit of a carefree but kind look in the past.

"Don't worry, I haven't made up the wedding wine for you and Qingyan yet."

Xia Qi is funny, can the wedding wine be made up for? Speaking of which, at the time when they formed a bond, apart from him and Qing Yan, no one else had ever drank their wedding wine...

Thinking of the Qing banquet, his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the mustard seed, but it was still empty.

Everyone traced to the area with the strongest demonic energy, which is located at the northernmost tip of the southwestern suburbs.

The dense forest here was not too big by the blast wave, and the dense and chaotic vines were intertwined, covering the ground, entwining the trunks, so lush that they almost obscured the skylight.

And the ogre vine went deep into the ground in this area, leaving several holes as thick as three people's arms, each of which was so deep that it couldn't be seen at a glance.

Xia Qi explored many caves with his spiritual sense, and came to a cave where the magic energy flowed most smoothly.

He could detect that the place where the devilish energy gathered in the southwestern suburbs was under this piece of land.

Xia Qi ordered his disciples to disperse and search for other clues around them.And he focused on it, and used his spiritual sense to explore the ground, but after a few breaths, he was stunned——

There is actually a large space underground, which looks like a cave, but it hides a strong demonic energy.

He exchanged glances with Su Ling who had also detected an abnormality, and communicated with his spiritual sense: "The climate in Nanfeng is hot and humid, the dense forest is soaked in moisture all the year round, and the soil is wet and soft, so there must be no caves."

Su Ling was also a little puzzled: "You don't need to choose a place for the magic circle to be completed, as long as the terrain is flat. And the transfer magic circle will definitely be chosen in a hidden and difficult to detect place. The southwestern suburbs were wiped out by you before, and they are easy to find without the protection of monsters. But still choose here..."

Xia Qi understood the key point: "Maybe the magic circle is built here, because there is something in the cave to rely on."

The two had the same idea, after discussing, they decided to sneak in along the hole left by the magic vine.

Not surprisingly, the end point is the magic circle in the cave.

The magic vines supply magic energy to the magic circle, and the magic vines must be lingering in the cave.If there is no other support for the cave, it is very easy to collapse - starting from diving into the cave entrance, it is a deep danger.

The disciples of the two sects prepared quickly, and Xia Qi quickly and carefully checked the crowd to make sure there were no omissions.

He put on the black hood silently, and jumped down into the pitch-black hole first.When the figure was engulfed by the darkness, a sharp light shone from the slowly drawn light.

Xia Qi bent his knees and leaned back, stabilized his figure, and slid down the slippery cave wall neatly.

The soil pierced by the magic vines condensed into hard soil, reducing the risk of collapse when falling, but the smell of carrion and wet soil mixed into a disgusting atmosphere, and the demonic aura permeated it endlessly.

Fortunately, the black cloak enveloped the whole body airtightly.

After a while, Xia Qi's feet landed on the ground.

Calculated according to the footsteps along the way, their underground location is as deep as a black market.

He led the crowd to continue walking in the narrow and soft cave, and more than fifty disciples held their breaths and concentrated in silence in the darkness.

Xia Qi's spiritual consciousness spread out, and he noticed that the mud wall not far away was connected to a flat stone corridor, and there was a misty light from a lamp in front of him.

There are obvious traces of artificial excavation and construction.

He looked at Su Ling silently with vigilance, turned around and raised his hand to make everyone vigilant.

Xia Qi stepped onto the stone corridor, the bloody aura blowing towards his face was like a gust of wind, so thick that it seemed to last for a long time.

At the same time, his consciousness walked through the corridor first and fell into a huge cave.

After the situation in the cave was reflected back to the Sea of ​​Consciousness, he held his breath for a moment, and the coldness of the soles of his feet spread to his whole body along with the blood.

The stone walls around the huge cave are neat, and old murals with strange colors cover all the stone walls.The candle flames of the ever-burning lamps were reddened, covering the hall with blood.The top is not closed, and the iron chains thick as arms are densely covered——

It's more like a mausoleum here.

What's even more frightening is that the ground is covered with numerous white bones and unshaped corpses, which are of various sizes, which is shocking.They seem to have been discarded without pity, and they have piled up into mountains over the years, filled with pain and unwillingness, and have long been unable to speak.

Along the wall are hundreds of containers engraved with fierce and ominous incantations, and inside are corpses that have lost their breath.

And the iron chains were also full of mutilated corpses.

Wherever the consciousness went, every glance was a nightmare scene that engraved horror into the bone marrow.

In the center of the cave is a spacious altar. Those ogre vines are enclosing the center of the altar airtight and motionless, like a sleeping python guarding a forbidden area.

Xia Qi's consciousness spread over cautiously, and he saw clearly that the magic circle was in the middle of the giant python, and the magic circle was constantly sucking the magic vine's magic energy, as well as the ominous energy around it.

The black shadows of demonized and demon cultivators are rising from the magic circle, heading towards the top of the cave and leaving the altar.

Even though Xia Qi was used to many cruel and bloody death scenes, his stomach still shrank at this moment, and the blood on his face faded.

Su Ling was also obviously shocked, took a deep breath, and sent a message to his spiritual sense: "Look at those containers by the wall, engraved with incantations to cultivate demons into demons. This place must be used by Shifang Pavilion The place where monsters are refined..."

Xia Qi's fingertips trembled slightly, his scalp was tingling, and he scanned the cave again with his divine sense, only to find that the mural was intertwined with blood and taboo spells, turning into thick and strange mottled.

This "mural" imprisoned the corpses and souls of countless demon cultivators... so that they could not leave the cave even if they were alive or dead.

The evil spirit of blood made the hair stand on end, Xia Qi suddenly had an extremely absurd and cruel guess in his mind.

"...After Xu Shen took over the Shifang Pavilion, the way he formed a bond with the beast became cruel and domineering. Since five years ago, every disciple can get a demonized bond beast with pure demon blood. The relationship between Xu Shen and Liu Shi There is more than one big demon beast. After the destruction of Lingying Mountain, all the spirit beasts and demon cultivators have been hunted down, and their survival is difficult. How can there be so many powerful monsters with pure blood?"

Su Ling was silent for a while: "This place looks... like it was built five years ago. The source of spirit beasts is not only capture, but also... reproduction."

She quickly used her spiritual sense to examine the inscription on the container again, her voice was difficult, "...the container is engraved with many forbidden spells, some of which promote growth...accelerate the formation of the fetus in the womb."

Xia Qi's pupils shrank, and the sea of ​​consciousness buzzed with overwhelming anger.He clenched his teeth slowly, as if his breath was being held back.

In order to obtain pure and powerful beasts with pure demon blood, the Shifang Pavilion imprisoned demon cultivators in caves and forced them to breed fetuses from generation to generation... If the blood was pure, they would be forced to transform into forms and fuse with demonic energy to refine them into beasts.If the demon blood is impure, the demon core will be stripped out, and the corpses will be thrown aside, accumulating into a mountain.

The people in this cave... are all demon cultivators who were captured and imprisoned, as well as lives that were born out of sight and died silently.

Such a ferocious place, if the souls of thousands of demon cultivators could turn into ghosts, they would have already become fierce ghosts, but it is a pity that there are many restrictions, and even reincarnation is not allowed to enter.

Xia Qi finally understood the origin of the bloody aura, and his chest was aching with anger, but luckily... Qing Yan didn't come to this place.

Five years ago was really an extremely delicate time.

At that time, there were traces of Yunzhang's evil being used for guidance, and the people behind the scenes also began to give advice to Shifang Pavilion, and many magic circles of Lingying Mountain appeared in the world.

Xia Qi's eyes were sharp, like a sharp and cold sword edge: "Xu Shen's hands are covered with blood, a thousand cuts would not be a pity. And the people behind the scenes came up with such a sinister idea of ​​killing living beings, they really deserve to die thousands of times."

During the silence, door master Ying Jie suddenly received a summons.

There was a surge in his chest, and it was the demon hunter walking behind the team who reported that they had just rescued a demon cultivator who was caught by vines in the criss-crossing cave.

Xia Qi was taken aback, then turned around and passed through the crowd, and came to the end of the line, where he saw two demon hunters and disciple Chang Yao treating the people leaning against the stone wall.

The man was covered in blood, bruised and dying.

It turned out to be Yunsu, the luthier who had been rescued before.
