Chapter 1229 Underground Palace
It was late at night. Although there were still many brightly lit streets in Guangling City, due to the Xuanyuan Army patrolling the whole city, the streets were no longer as lively as before.
But this does not mean that the entire Guangling City is peaceful.
In fact, Guangling City was turbulent at this time. In a tea house in the west of the city, monks from dozens of chambers of commerce, large and small, gathered here. They seemed to be in conflict with the monks of the Xuanyuan Army. The atmosphere reached a tense level.
Besides here, there are also disciples from the seven northwest sects who are causing trouble in the areas under the jurisdiction of Xuanyuan Army, and some have even started to take action in the city.
The world is treacherous, and the superficial turmoil may just be to cover up the undercurrent beneath the water.
At this moment, in the center of Guangling City, in a remote alley, several figures were walking quietly.
"Is this right here?"
The person walking at the front asked in a low voice.
“This is it!”
A clear female voice answered him, her tone was very firm.
In front of everyone, there was an abandoned restaurant. There was a plaque hanging on the top of the restaurant, which read: "Qingfeng Tower"!
"I clearly remember that this place has been abandoned for many years. Is there another mystery inside?" The man walking in the front pondered for a moment, then said decisively: "Go in and take a look!"
He He made a magic spell to protect himself, strode like lightning, and was the first one to enter the restaurant. Seeing this, everyone else followed him in one after another.
The person walking at the back was a man in gray clothes, with dark skin and tall and thin stature.
After everyone went in, he stayed there and observed vigilantly for a moment. After confirming that there was nothing suspicious, he left a few simple forbidden signs at the entrance, and then followed everyone into the restaurant. middle.
The restaurant has been abandoned for a long time. It is full of dust and looks very dark.
Everyone searched for a while and found nothing special, so they couldn't help but frown.
"Your Highness, is there a mistake? The interior of this restaurant is clearly visible, and there is not even a trace of aura. Are you sure that the Second Prince and the others are here?"
"There can be no mistake. ”
In the darkness, Xuanyuan Lingwei shook her head and pointed to the spirit beast bag on her waist.
“The Rakshasa Demonic Cow is born with a keen sense of smell for spiritual roots. Since it has found this place, it proves that the monk who captured the purple bamboo spiritual roots is in this restaurant.”
"In this case, the little girl has a magic weapon that can verify whether there is any mystery here!"
The speaker was a beautiful female cultivator under Zhu Youqing, the second elder of Baiwu Zhai, Lin Shishi.
"Oh? If Sister Lin has any means, just use it, we don't have much time." Xuanyuan Lingwei urged.
Lin Shishi nodded, took out a small bottle from his sleeve, and uncorked the bottle. A white mist immediately flew out of the bottle and spread throughout the restaurant in an instant.
In the white mist, there are countless fireflies flickering, as if eyes are carefully searching every corner.
Suddenly, a group of fireflies on the south side of the restaurant flickered, and then all the fireflies became restless and gathered crazily in that corner, and finally they all attached to a wall.
“Found it!”
Lin Shishi’s face showed a hint of excitement and pointed to the place where the fireflies gathered. Everyone looked at it and saw that those fireflies were actually there. The pattern of an iron door is outlined on the wall, which flickers on and off in the dark night, giving it a somewhat eerie feel.
"There is a secret door there, why didn't we find it just now?" Ouyang Zhenru frowned, obviously a little surprised.
“No, there is something strange on the door!”
Duan Tianxing shouted lowly, raised his hand to cast a spell, and saw a black light flashing above the iron door, and a tightly closed eye was revealed. In front of everyone.
“This thing hides the secret door, and our spiritual sense can’t even detect it!” Xuanyuan Lingwei’s face changed slightly.
While they were talking, the tightly closed eye above the iron gate suddenly raised its eyelids, as if it was about to open.
"No, this is a forbidden detection method. We can't be seen by it, otherwise we will all be exposed!" Liang Yan was the first to react, raised his hand and pinched it, and was about to stab the strange eye with his sword energy.
"Brother Lu, wait a minute!"
Duan Tianxing pulled Liang Yan and said in a deep voice: "This strange eye is different. The person who performed the surgery seems to have some backup plans. If he forcibly removes the eyes, Destroying it will also expose our position."
"What should we do?" After hearing this, everyone else frowned.
“Our Jade Cauldron Mansion has a secret technique, let Duan give it a try!”
Duan Tianxing walked forward, took out a green talisman from his sleeve, slapped it on the iron door, then made a seal with his hands and began to mutter something.
After a while, thousands of green lights emerged from the talisman, slowly condensing in mid-air, forming a small green cauldron.
The lid of the small cauldron was opened, and curls of green smoke floated out. The eyelids of the strange eyes, which were about to open, were smoked by the green smoke and closed tightly again.
At the same time, the small green cauldron shook slightly, and the lid of the cauldron fell, sealing the entire strange eye within the cauldron.
Bang!
As the lid of the cauldron fell and the seal was completed, hundreds of blood streaks appeared on the iron gate, densely packed like a huge blood net.
“Cut the blood network!”
Duan Tianxing shouted, Zhu Youqing and Liang Yan shot at the same time, hitting the iron gate with the power of pure Yang and sword energy, instantly killing them This blood network was smashed to pieces!
Boom!
As all the blood threads broke, the iron door began to slowly open inward. Everyone looked at it and saw a deep tunnel, all the way down to the ground.
Seeing this secret passage, everyone looked at each other, and most of them had mixed expressions, ranging from excitement to worry.
"Now that we are here, there is no room for retreat." Liang Yan said calmly at this time: "Everyone, success or failure depends on this battle tonight!"
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu! Our Seven Northwest Sects will never back down. After tonight, the Sixth Princess will be in charge of Xuanyuan City!" Ouyang Zhenru assured, patting his chest.
"Thank you! If things come true today, Ling Wei will never treat you badly!" Xuanyuan Lingwei said with cupped hands.
“Be careful.”
Zhu Youqing didn't say anything more. He raised his hand and made a magic spell. A blue flag flew out of the storage ring and flew over everyone's heads. A ray of rays of light fell from the sky.
The glow fell on everyone, and everyone's aura became vague. What's even more strange is that even if several people are close at hand, they can't see each other's existence. If they don't use spiritual consciousness If you deliberately go to investigate, you almost think that the allies around you have disappeared.
"The 'Tianzang Flag' can hide everyone's aura. Don't go out of the coverage area of Xiaguang!" Zhu Youqing said in a deep voice while casting a spell to maintain the blue flag. "Senior, don't worry, we will never go out of the scope of Xiaguang!"
Xuanyuan Lingwei nodded in response, used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the Rakshasa Demonic Ox in the spirit beast bag, and began to prepare for People show the way.
Everyone walked all the way down the secret passage. In order to hide their traces, they did not dare to use escape light. After walking for a full hour, they saw a small hole at the end of the secret passage.
Zhu Youqing and Liang Yan looked at each other, and at the same time unfolded their protective auras, walking on both sides of the team, leading Xuanyuan Lingwei and others towards the entrance of the cave.
As soon as the cave entrance came out, the original dark environment was immediately replaced by lights.
Everyone looked around and saw a huge underground palace with a magnificent interior and all kinds of rare materials.
"Heavenly Star Stone! Blood Cloud Bamboo! Hundred Demon Spirit Crystal."
Ouyang Zhenru looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a luxurious palace! These treasures are all top-quality materials to assist in cultivation or refining weapons. Which one is worth a fortune if left outside? It's actually here. Just for decoration?"
Xuanyuan Lingwei shook his head and said: "This is just a temporary palace built by the second brother. You have never seen his palace in Xuanyuan City. That is true luxury. !”
"Bah!" Duan Tianxing cursed angrily: "No wonder he wants to suppress the sect family. It turns out that he wants to take all these cultivation resources for himself. He is so squandering. I don't know how many people's cultivation paths have been ruined by him. Cut off."
"Okay."
Zhu Youqing interrupted the conversation of several people and said solemnly: "We are not here to evaluate him. Finding Xuanyuan Haoyu as soon as possible is the top priority. ! ”
After hearing this, the other people all looked forward and saw that the palace was divided by high light blue walls. The high walls were made of sky stone, which could isolate people's consciousness and prevent them from seeing the inside of the palace.
In front of them, there were several winding corridors. From a distance, they looked like a huge underground maze.
“Which way should we take?” Duan Tianxing frowned.
"Don't worry. Although the Sky Star Stone can isolate spiritual consciousness, I have the Rakshasa Demonic Cow. I can find him no matter where he is hiding!"
Xuanyuan Lingwei raised his hand as he spoke. After casting a magic spell, the Rakshasa demon cow flew out from her storage ring, but its body size shrunk countless times, almost the same size as an ordinary green cow.
"Go."
Xuanyuan Lingwei touched its forehead, and the demon cow roared and began to fly forward.
Everyone followed it and soon entered a long corridor. After walking for half a cup of tea, they discovered that cells appeared in the corridor.
Most of the cells I passed by at the beginning were white bones and skeletons. They had been dead for who knows how long, and their identities had long been unrecognizable.
But walking deeper, the remains of the monks appeared in the cell. They were all beautiful female monks. Some had an iron hook pierced through the back of the head, and some had an iron chain chained to their bones. A strange and cruel criminal method appeared in the cell. Even Liang Yan was well-informed, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw the scenes on the road.
"They are all dead and their spiritual roots have been taken away from their bodies. They suffered endless torture before they died!" Xuanyuan Lingwei looked at the scene along the way, anger bursting out of her eyes, and Zishan beside her was even more delicate. His body trembled, as if he was reminded of the tragic situation of his twin sisters, and the anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable.
"Most of the people here are casual cultivators from around Guangling City, and a small number are monks from the Chamber of Commerce and Sect."
When Zhu Youqing said this, he suddenly stopped and looked at the cell. There was a trace of fluctuation on the calm face of a female cultivator in green.
"Senior Nephew Shen didn't expect you to be here."
Zhu Youqing looked at the dead female cultivator in Tsing Yi in the cell with an extremely cold expression.
"What a Xuanyuan Haoyu, even the disciples of our seven northwest sects will not be spared! I, Ouyang Zhenru, must pay with his blood!"
"Quiet! We seem to be arriving soon!"
Xuanyuan Lingwei suddenly reminded him. Everyone turned to look, and sure enough they saw the Rakshasa Demonic Bull beginning to stir, staring at the corner at the end of the corridor, seeming to have found the target.
“Let’s go!”
Zhu Youqing shouted in a low voice, pinching the magic formula in his hand, and a steady stream of spiritual power surged out of his body, urging the "Tianzang Flag" above his head to move To the extreme.
Everyone knew that the goal of their trip was right in front of them, and they did not dare to be careless at all. They each activated their magical powers to conceal their aura, and under the cover of the "Tianzang Flag", they walked towards the end of the corridor.
After a few breaths, everyone walked out of the corridor and came to a brightly lit hall.
The entire hall was magnificent, with many banquets placed in the middle. At each table sat a monk from the Tongxuan Realm, surrounded by four or five beautiful female monks. They were naked and exhausted. Obscene manner.
Most of these female cultivators are at the Golden Core realm, and their faces are full of flattery. They ask for and give to the cultivators around them without daring to show any disobedience.
Liang Yan has been to the Taotie Merchant Guild before, and he has seen this kind of decadent pleasure, but compared with the scene in the hall in front of him, it pales in comparison.
It's just that although the female cultivators here took the initiative, there was deep fear hidden in their eyes. Thinking of the female corpses they met in the cell before, you can see why they were so scared.
Everyone's eyes swept across the hall and soon fell on a stone pillar at the back of the hall.
The stone pillar was unusual, it was red all over, and I didn’t know what material it was made of. Even if everyone was far apart, they could feel the hot breath coming towards their faces.
There was a person chained up on the stone pillar, wearing a yellow straight-breasted robe. His whole body was pierced by iron chains. The robe was dyed red with blood, and his face was even more bloody.
However, Xuanyuan Lingwei, Liang Yan and others recognized the man on the stone pillar immediately.
"Xuanyuan Qi!"
Liang Yan's face changed slightly. He thought that Xuanyuan Haoyu would only put Xuanyuan Qi under house arrest, but he didn't expect that he would be so ruthless. Looking at Xuanyuan Qi on the stone pillar, he had been The torture was so severe that life was worse than death. If there wasn't still a faint breath that seemed to be nothing, Liang Yan would have thought he was dead.
“Hahaha!”
Laughter suddenly came from the back of the hall. Everyone looked attentively and saw a tall and handsome young man lying on a golden and jade soft couch. .
This man is very heroic, but now he is naked from the waist up, holding a wine glass in his hand, and there is a woman lying in his arms.
The woman was twenty-eight years old and looked youthful, but her charming eyes were so seductive that she was almost dripping with love. The tight-fitting dress is composed of strips of silver tassels with a hollow in the middle. The skin like mutton-fat white jade is looming, and the exquisite figure is even more ecstatic.
“My good fourth brother, you said you just usually travel around and I don’t care about you, but you want to get involved in the affairs between me and my sixth sister, and you have ended up like this today. Isn’t it your own fault?”
