Chu Ming's words are really intriguing. He worked so hard to prepare the ghost refining formation just because he wanted the reincarnation of the Underworld Lord Chu Tang to return to the ghost clan and return to its peak.
Now at the last moment, it was discovered that the person at the center of the altar was not the reincarnation of Chu Tang at all!
Where is the real Lord of the Underworld, Chu Tang?
Hua Ruxue was lying on the ground, like a hungry wolf hunting. She had no intention of thinking about these problems. All she could see in her eyes was the will-o'-the-wisp that was about to swallow up the second round of sacrifices, and Chu Ming who had lost his mind.
Thirty breaths, only ten breaths, the will-o'-the-wisp will burn to the innermost sacrifice, and after another twenty breaths, it will start to engulf Ning Shuyan.
She only has thirty breaths left!
Black shadows slowly approached Chu Ming along the stone steps, moving as fast as a fish swimming in the water under the cover of the night.
In an instant, the shadow left the ground, transformed into a piece of paper about half the height of a man, and punched Chu Ming's life gate.
At this time, Chu Ming had lost half of his cultivation and was in a state of madness. It was the best time to attack him!
Chu Ming, who was still roaring loudly at Li Zangzhi, accidentally received a punch from the shadow and took half a step back.
It's a pity that this black shadow only has one-tenth of Hua Ruxue's strength and cannot seriously hurt Chu Ming.
Three black shadows attacked Chu Ming one after another. After ten breaths, Hua Ruxue tried her best to break free of the copper ring on her body, and used the Ice Art to condense the ice blade to block Chu Ming's path, forcing him to retreat.
The force of this blow was comparable to that of a monk in the foundation-building stage. The ice blade fell on the ground, and a long gap suddenly opened in the ground made of boulders.
With the cooperation of the black shadow, Chu Ming slowly moved towards the place she estimated, and the position of his heart was exposed without any precautions.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Hua Ruxue seized the opportunity and jumped up.
Just when Hua Ruxue rushed towards Ghost Lord Chu Ming, her body was suddenly pressed to the ground by an unknown force, and the three black shadows were instantly torn apart.
It was as if there were countless mountains pressing down on her body, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move at all.
The situation reversed instantly!
Thirty breaths of time passed by in the sound of her violent heartbeat. The ghost fire devoured An Muwan, leaving only a dark trace on the altar, silently telling that someone had been here.
On the one hundred and twenty-five altars, only the last sacrifice, Ning Shuyan, and Li Zhizhi, who was about to turn into a ghost, remained.
She could only watch helplessly as the will-o'-the-wisp approached Ning Shuyan little by little, and the faint blue flame greedily tore Ning Shuyan's body apart slowly. .z.br>
Besides An Yueming, there is another person here! He was the one who took away Ning Shuyan!
Damn it, who is it?
People are good at disguise, hypocritical and cunning, so she hates people and doesn't want to trust anyone.
There are not many people she likes and trusts, only Su Yi and Ning Shuyan.
Ning Shuyan once said that she would either die in battle in front of the city gate or disappear under the thunder, otherwise she would live no matter what. She definitely didn't want to be used as a sacrifice and die quietly.
Hua Ruxue tried to accumulate strength in her palms. She had to break free!
She also promised the snake vulture to protect Ning Shuyan, and promised the long, fair-faced guy with a rough voice who was not of the same race but always liked to pester her to call her sister.
He is the only monster in Qingyu Pavilion who dares to get close to her.
After five breaths, Hua Ruxue's hands were freed. Ning Shuyan, who was about to be swallowed up by the will-o'-the-wisp, was surrounded by a layer of faint green light, and her torn body miraculously healed completely.
Then the contract mark on her left hand flashed red, then shattered and disappeared.
The contract between Ning Shuyan and the snake vulture is broken, which means the death of the snake vulture.
Hua Ruxue clenched her fist unwillingly and smashed it on the ground, feeling helpless and furious in her heart.
Chu Ming, who was previously calm and confident about winning, knelt on the ground in despair, muttering: "How could this happen? How could this happen? I was cheated, I was cheated, I was cheated."
Just when the will-o'-the-wisp pounced on Ning Shuyan's body again, trying to turn her into ashes
, a silver-white sword energy swung towards Gaoge.
The sword energy split the high pavilion into two halves, and finally fell on Chu Ming.
After a while, the will-o'-the-wisps dissipated, the ghost refining formation was terminated, the high pavilion collapsed, and the moonlight shone on the neat cuts of the stone pillars.
Chu Ming's body gradually became transparent under the moonlight, and his reason also returned at this time. He cursed with full of rage:
"How dare you ruin my plan! If you wait, Guanyun City will be destroyed!"
The shrill screams of ghosts echoed in the Beauty Courtyard, and the power that had been pressing on Hua Ruxue disappeared, as if some kind of mission had been completed.
After Hua Ruxue got her freedom, she immediately rushed to the center of the ghost refining formation. The sword energy came too late, and Ning Shuyan's body was inevitably burned by the will-o'-the-wisp. Her right arm was particularly badly burnt.
Checking her pulse, it was beating weakly, as if besides the trauma to her right hand, her body had suffered other fatal injuries.
"Don't move." A cold voice sounded behind her, like a clear spring flowing through the cracks in the rocks in late autumn.
Hua Ruxue looked back, and saw that the visitor had a white fox pendant with lavender tassels hanging on his waist. His long hair was tied up, and his eyes were as deep as ancient wells, calm and calm. It was exactly what he had seen in the cloud-moving mirror that year. Bai Xun, the lord of Guanyun City.
Bai Xun stood three feet away from her, a trace of disgust flashing in his indifferent eyes.
"Lord City Lord! One of our own! Don't do anything!" Bai Yi shouted across the broken barrier, courtyard, and high pavilion.
Bai Yi walked with his sword, but because he was too fast and couldn't stop in time, he bumped into a stone pillar that had been slashed, breaking the stone pillar into pieces.
"Sir, you were just standing above the City Lord's Mansion and slashed with your sword. You almost scared your subordinates to death! Young City Lord is still in the An family. It doesn't matter if you want to destroy the An family. It would be bad if you hurt the Young City Lord!" Bai Yi wiped the ashes from his forehead and advised earnestly.
After seeing the scene in the high pavilion clearly, Bai Yi was shocked and asked Hua Ruxue, the only conscious person in the high pavilion, "What's going on? Where is my master?"
Hua Ruxue pointed at Ning Shuyan on the altar, and because she was worried about Ning Shuyan's injury, she said briefly:
"The young city lord didn't enter the courtyard. These people were poisoned when they broke through the barrier. The initiator of the ghost refining formation was killed by the city lord with a sword, and only the last of the one hundred and twenty-four sacrifices remained."
"One hundred and twenty-four sacrifices, Master Li San is..."
"The reincarnation of Underworld Lord Chu Tang is someone else, not Young Master Li San. Now that the ghost refining formation has been forced to terminate, Young Master Li San has not yet transformed into a ghost."
Bai Yi looked at the empty altars around him and said with regret, "It's a pity that we couldn't save these one hundred and twenty-three people."
"Get out of the way." Bai Xun listened to the conversation between the two, his eyes were full of waves, and his words were mixed with a little displeasure, which was not as plain as before.
Hua Ruxue was startled when she heard this. She was still three feet away from Bai Xun, and Bai Yi was seven feet away from him.
Was this said to her?
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, then understood. He took a few steps forward and pulled Hua Ruxue away from the altar where Ning Shuyan was. He explained:
"Ms. Ning's soul was burned by the ghost fire. Now her soul is unstable and needs to be stabilized. My family never rescues people, but today I took the initiative to help. It's really strange."
Seeing that Bai Xun wanted to save Ning Shuyan, Hua Ruxue thanked Bai Xun from a distance of seven feet: "Thank you City Lord for your help. I will definitely repay the City Lord for his life-saving grace."
Not sure whether Hua Ruxue said the wrong word, Bai Xun frowned slightly and said "hmm" indifferently.
When Bai Yi saw that there was nothing wrong with him here, he turned around and pointed at Su Yi, Li Chu and others who were still lying on the ground, and said to Hua Ruxue: "My master is here, you don't have to worry about Miss Ning, hurry up and help Young Master Li first" Look at them, I have to go find my master."
After speaking, Bai Yi picked up the compass on the ground, ran towards the distance with his sword in hand.
After receiving the news that Bai Xun would rescue Ning Shuyan, Hua Ruxue had been nervous all day, and now she was finally able to relax.
Speaking of Bai Musheng, I saw that his spiritual power was unstable at that time, and I didn't know if he was getting better or not. This time I had to thank him properly.
If he hadn't provided the compass, they wouldn't have found it.
If you don't go to this beauty courtyard, you won't be able to discover the conspiracy of Chu Ming and the person behind it.
When passing other altars, Hua Ruxue caught a glimpse of wooden plaques still left on several altars.
She picked up a piece nearby and found that there were burnt marks on the edge of the wooden sign, with the word "Changyin" written on the back. The name on the other side was the female monk who had been claimed to have died in the beast tide a few years ago.
It turns out that it was a lie that he died at the hands of beasts, but it was true that he was kidnapped as a sacrifice.
Hua Ruxue carefully put the wooden sign away, turned around and looked at the altar where An Muwan was sitting, only to find that there was no identity sign on it at all. Children of aristocratic families would all carry their identity sign with them, but An Muwan didn't?
Perhaps it was because he was in his own home that the wooden sign left his body.
In the process of detoxifying Su Yi, Li Chu and others, Hua Ruxue frequently glanced at Ning Shuyan and Bai Xun. Perhaps her eyes were too hot, and Bai Xun couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"
"May I ask the city lord, how is Sister Ning's situation?"
Bai Xun was like a plucked fox, a little angry, and replied in a cold tone: "I can't die."
"Today's matter concerns the ghost clan. I don't know how long the ghost king has been lurking in Guanyun City in order to prepare for this ghost refining formation and find the reincarnation of the Lord of the Underworld." Hua Ruxue asked tentatively:
"I once had a mission to investigate the underworld. This poison was planted by the ghost king. Can I truthfully tell you what happened today?"
Although the ruling elder of the Sword Serving Sect has a close relationship with Bai Musheng, this does not mean that the Sword Serving Sect has a good relationship with Guanyun City.
The ghost clan appeared in Guanyun City, and one hundred and twenty-three monks died, maybe more. If this matter is not handled well, it means that Bai Xun's management is not strict, which will be a handle.
Whether she could let the people of the Sword Master Sect know, and how much she could let them know, she felt a little unsure.
After hearing this, Bai Xun's tone slowed down for no reason, and said: "Don't worry, they will know even if you don't say it."
These words made Hua Ruxue a little curious about what kind of place the Shijian Sect was. It sounded like it was completely superior to Guanyun City.
