Chapter 319: Revisiting the old place
On the top of a barren mountain, the earth is cracked, surrounded by weeds, and there are occasional gloomy winds, making the scene desolate.
This is a remote and deep mountain in the northwest of Tianchong Mountain. In the past, there were few human traces. Even because of the thin spiritual energy in the place, not a single monster was seen.
But today it suddenly became a bit lively. In a flat place on the mountain, a faint rainbow light appeared. Five monks took their positions, made secrets with their hands and cast spells to consolidate a teleportation array.
These five people are old and young, and they are all foundation-building monks. One of them is in the middle stage of foundation-building, and he has a sinister and cold aura. You can tell at a glance that he is a demonic cultivator.
While maintaining the magic circle, they were waiting for something with solemn expressions.
"Senior Brother Xing, has the news been sent out? The concentration of evil energy in the mass grave this time is a rare opportunity for demonic monks like us. I wonder which helmsman is coming from the shadows?"
One of the gray-haired old men looked at a young monk opposite, with respect in his expression.
Not long ago, they discovered a mass grave here. If it were just a mass grave, it would not attract their attention.
It's just that in recent days, there have been heavy clouds in this pit, and the evil spirit has skyrocketed, which seems to have caused some changes. Surprised, they sent someone to notify the sect, and they also received a reply, and they will send a mana-level shadow helmsman. Come.
After the old man finished speaking, the young monk opposite pondered for a moment and said: "According to the information I got, it seems that Lord Yan is coming."
This young demon cultivator named Xing has the highest cultivation level among the group, so it is natural for the old man to call him senior brother.
"It turns out to be Master Yan. This person has already cultivated his magic power. He has made many military exploits for the sect in the past year. The sect leader is also sorting out the process of sending him here to practice."
The old man was not surprised when he heard the name "Master Rock Helm".
After a pause, the old man was a little confused and asked: "Speaking of which, you and I are responsible for surveying the northwest area. We discovered the existence of mass graves a few years ago, but why have we never seen such a strange phenomenon? ? Is there something strange in it?"
The demon cultivator surnamed Xing frowned, and there seemed to be some suspicion flashing in his eyes, and said: "I don't know what the vision of the mass grave is. It's difficult for you and me to investigate deeply. Yicai sent a message to the sect. I thought that after Lord Yandu came, he would be able to enter one of them with his cultivation in the magic stage. It is useless for you and me to speculate here. We should first consolidate the teleportation array and welcome Yandu. It’s business when the Lord comes.”
While speaking, the Demon Cultivator named Xing looked very much looking forward to the arrival of Captain Yan, so he ordered everyone: "At this moment, Captain Yan and most of his fellow disciples are already in the process of teleportation. We need to maintain the formation for them." There must be no mistakes in the law.”
Several demon cultivators did not dare to neglect, holding their formation flags and casting spells into the teleportation formation, and all kinds of high-quality spiritual stones were also thrown into it one by one.
After about three hours of this, a spiritual light suddenly flashed in front of them, the teleportation array trembled violently, and after several light patterns shot up into the sky, many demon cultivators appeared one after another in front of the five people.
The leader was the Rock Helmsman who teleported from the North Vein Stone Cave.
"See Master Yan, this junior is punished as usual. He has been waiting here for a long time."
Seeing the arrival of the rock helmsman, the demon cultivator surnamed Xing hurriedly paid his respects. The old man and others behind him did not dare to neglect at all, and stepped forward to pay homage one by one.
"No need to be polite." Captain Yan waved his hand and said to the disciples behind him: "This is the northwest area. Everyone, please come out."
As the helmsman finished speaking, the rainbow light in the teleportation array continued to flash, and more than thirty demon cultivators walked out of the array one after another.
Ye Chunyang stood out in the queue. After walking out of the teleportation array, he looked around with his peripheral vision.
In his impression, this place should be somewhere deep in the mountains of Tian Chong Mountain. However, even though he had stayed in the northwest area for several years, he had not yet fully grasped the boundaries of the land, so he could not identify where exactly it was.
However, returning to the northwest area made him feel more relaxed. With his familiarity with this place, he could escape safely even if something unexpected happened.
After counting the number of people, Captain Yan confirmed that no one was alone, and then asked the demon cultivator surnamed Xing again: "You have reported that there is something strange in the mass grave. Can we find out what it is?" What’s the reason?”
"Reporting to the helmsman, this junior is about to report this matter to the helmsman." Demon cultivator surnamed Xing said: "The mass grave has suddenly become filled with evil energy in recent days, and the sky is filled with clouds. There are many strange phenomena, but the spiritual pressure here is very high. "Qiang, our cultivation is shallow and we can't get close, so we sent a message to the sect and waited for the helmsman to come and explore it."
Hearing this, Captain Yan's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something. He immediately waved to the demon cultivator named Xing and said, "Take me there immediately!"
"Yes, helmsman, please follow me."
The demon cultivator surnamed Xing accepted the order and was the first to sacrifice the treasure and fly into the air. Lord Yan did not hesitate and led a group of demon cultivators to ride on the clouds and follow him.
Ye Chunyang stepped on the Yinsha Demonic Pearl and followed the crowd calmly.
It was getting late at night, which was convenient for the demon cultivators, but it seemed that these demons were confident and did not deliberately conceal their whereabouts while fleeing, which made Ye Chunyang secretly suspicious.
This demonic cultivator organization has always been secretive, but this time it is so public. Could it be that the entire northwest area has become their territory and they are not worried about being discovered?
Recalling that two years ago, the Huaxue Sect and several sects were destroyed overnight, Ye Chunyang felt a little awe-inspiring, secretly guessing what secrets were hidden in this.
And when he was thinking secretly, he found that the flight route was vaguely familiar.
Sure enough, after a few hours, a blood-colored mountain appeared in front of him. It was the place where Huaxue Sect used to be. But now it looked like a barren mountain. The buildings on it were all ruins, without any life at all.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but sigh. Although he didn't have a good impression of Huaxue Sect, after all, this was the first place he settled after accidentally coming to Chaos Demon Realm. Now seeing Huaxue Sect so dilapidated and desolate, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
At this time, he couldn't help but frown. These demons came here. Could it be that the mass grave they mentioned was really the one that Huaxue Sect used to kill disciples in the past?
Ye Chunyang was secretly curious, and then his guess was confirmed. Sure enough, after a group of demon cultivators bypassed Huaxue Sect, they flew straight to the back mountain.
Ye Chunyang was very familiar with this route. It was the mass grave that led to the mass grave that year.
He felt a little strange in his heart. He never thought that he would return here one day. According to what these demons said, some strange changes seemed to have occurred here, and it seemed to be very beneficial to them, otherwise they would not have teleported here from a long distance.
After approaching, Ye Chunyang indeed found that a large piece of dark clouds had spread in the sky, and the evil spirit was rolling in it, as if demons were rampant, emitting a cold and chilling breath.
And this place was still several miles away from the mass grave. There was such a murderous aura at such a distance. I wonder what kind of Shura hell scene was in the middle.
"Captain, look, this is the mass grave. In the past, Huaxue Sect used this to select disciples and forced the candidates to kill each other. Over the years, I don't know how many disciples have been killed in the pit. In addition, after we wiped out Huaxue Sect and several nearby sects, the bodies were thrown into this mass grave. Now it is full of evil spirits and ghosts. It is really a treasure land for our demonic practice."
"But in the past few days, the strange phenomenon here has not only not dissipated, but has become more and more condensed. We can't get within a mile. To explore the scenery, we can only rely on the magic power of the captain."
The demon cultivator named Xing pointed to the front, and his words showed a hint of pride, as if he was asking for credit.
"You have done a good job. After this captain enters the mass grave and explores it clearly, he will reward you according to your merits."
The face of Captain Yan flashed a few inexplicable colors. After staring for a while, he spread his hands and closed them, and sacrificed the Yinsha Magic Pearl to the dark clouds in front.
This bead is obviously twice as big as the magic bead of ordinary disciples, and its surface also contains spirituality, which is at the level of spiritual weapon. Most ordinary disciples only have supreme magic weapons, which are far inferior to this one.
Ye Chunyang was surprised to find that after the magic bead flew towards the dark cloud, the bead body suddenly rotated endlessly, stimulating scarlet blood lines, and the large dark cloud that was originally rolling in the air was absorbed by a small half in an instant.
And the magic bead seemed to be connected with the mind of the Rock Helm Master. After absorbing the evil spirit in the dark cloud, it actually entered his body through spirituality, instantly restoring his consumed vitality.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but be surprised.
Sure enough, this magic bead can double the absorption of evil spirits with a specific skill, and after the Rock Helm Master cast a spell, the dark cloud also separated to both sides, drawing a passage straight to the depths of the mass grave.
Without saying a word, the Rock Helm Master drove a group of dark clouds to rush towards the mass grave. Seeing this, the demon cultivators couldn't help but be excited and drove forward with their treasures.
Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed with doubt, and he also rushed to the edge.
After clearing the dark clouds, the scene of the mass grave was the same as before. The pit was bottomless, surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides, and there was an astonishing evil spirit wherever he looked.
After seeing the evil spirit, the demon cultivators seemed to have arrived in heaven. They looked up and took a deep breath, showing enjoyment.
But when they arrived at the edge of the mass grave, everyone's faces changed. They found that there were wisps of red light rainbow in the center of the pit, which merged into several sharp breaths straight to the sky. After these rainbow lights flew out, they gathered in the air and turned into dark clouds covering the surroundings.
Obviously, the dark clouds on the mass grave were caused by these rainbow lights.
The demon cultivator named Xing who led the way was surprised to see this scene.
At this moment, he clearly felt that the rainbow light was filled with astonishing spiritual power. If it weren't for the Rock Helmsman's Yinsha Magic Pearl to resist, they would not be able to get close to this place at all.
"Captain, what on earth is this aura?" The strong man Wu Kui couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Captain Yan stared into the pit, his face uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking.
When Ye Chunyang saw these red rainbow lights, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and doubt flashed in his eyes.
When he was selecting in this mass grave, he had never seen such a strange phenomenon. Could it be that after leaving for these years, some unknown changes have occurred here?
