In the endless darkness, a figure flashed quickly in the palace and landed under an eaves.
The appearance appeared, and it was none other than Zhao Yu, the eunuch and eunuch responsible for the ceremony.
Zhao Yu looked around the corner and saw two little eunuchs holding lanterns walking forward slowly with their heads lowered.
After getting closer, he saw clearly that it was Zhao Yu, and he hurriedly saluted and said, "Greetings to the second ancestor."
Zhao Yu nodded, looked at the two of them carefully, and asked, "Did you see any suspicious people passing by?"
The two young eunuchs looked at each other and shook their heads to express ignorance.
Zhao Yu was helpless. Both of them were mortal bodies, so they couldn't notice anything strange. So, he waved his hand to signal the two of them to retreat, and he continued to look forward.
Unexpectedly, after passing another turning point, only one of the two young eunuchs was left.
…
In the inner courtyard of the palace, there are places that are as bright as daylight, and there are also dark and deserted places, secluded places that are dark, cold and creepy.
Yue Zhufeng stood outside a palace wall. Not long after, he saw a young eunuch walking over and said with a grimace, "This old eunuch is really good at chasing. I almost got caught by him."
Yue Zhufeng didn't take it seriously and said, "Fortunately, you came back alive and don't need me to collect your body. Just be content."
"Why don't you care about me at all? I almost died in the hands of the old eunuch."
"So what I said is that I am content and save a lot of worry."
"..."
The two stopped bickering, jumped over the palace wall, and entered the large courtyard.
In the corner, Ye Ling slowly leaned out. The eunuch who just came was none other than the easy-going Ming Xuyu, but I didn't know why the two of them were in the palace. They seemed to be looking for something.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling also used his body skills to jump over the palace wall and come to the courtyard.
The courtyard is vast, almost a small square, with a palace on the north side and the door is closed. In the center of the courtyard was a building similar to an altar, with profound Taoist patterns carved around it. Just one look at it made Ye Ling feel dizzy.
Ming Xuyu and Yue Zhufeng stood beside the altar. Yue Zhufeng stretched out his hand and took out a crystal stone that exuded a faint light.
A soft Tao power was injected into it, and the Tao rhyme circulated in an instant, causing the entire formation to move.
This was obviously a teleportation formation, but it was different from the ones Ye Ling had used in various cities.
The Dao patterns shone brightly, and the eight directions in the center of the formation altar moved. The patterns of yin and yang fish slowly appeared and continued to flow.
Ming Xuyu and Yue Zhufeng looked at each other, then stood on the formation altar. As a white light shrouded them, their figures disappeared.
But just when the white light was about to end, Ye Ling also stepped in and left with him. The glory has dissipated, and the formation altar remains the same.
…
In the alley, Gao He and several eunuchs were walking forward, and they bumped into Zhao Yu who was looking for him.
Zhao Yu quickly saluted: "Godfather!"
Gao He frowned and asked, "If you don't go to supervise the work, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Yu said: "When my son was supervising the work, he felt someone was peeping in secret, so he came to look for it, but he didn't find anyone there. Maybe my son made a mistake, I will go back now."
"etc!"
Gao He was deep in thought, and after thinking about it carefully, he immediately said: "Send people to search along this road immediately, be quick!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu immediately called for people to start searching, and sure enough, he saw the unconscious little eunuch in a corner.
After Gao He heard what Zhao Yu said, he used his physical skills to reach the courtyard almost instantly, but he saw that the small courtyard was the same as before, and no changes could be seen in the formation.
It's just that Gao He has the realm of immortality, and he has his own understanding of good, bad, and misfortune. At this time, he was uneasy in his heart, fearing that something big was going to happen.
"Is it true that things are counterproductive and all the previous efforts have been wasted?"
After Gao He walked out of the courtyard, Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Godfather, do you want to seal off the palace immediately and conduct a comprehensive search?"
Gao He shook his head and said meaningfully: "There is no one, nothing happened, just do what you need to do."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows. Naturally, he would not believe the literal meaning, but he did not dare to disobey Gao He's order. He had to frown and return to the supervisor's place. He could not let go for a long time...
…
The divine light faded, and before Ye Ling could open his eyes, he felt a bloody smell permeating his surroundings, which was nauseating. He hurriedly used Taoist power to protect his whole body, isolating the inside and outside, and then he felt better.
Ye Ling raised his eyes and saw that the sky was full of blood and light, like purgatory, and the air was filled with blood mist. If he wasn't a monk, he wouldn't be able to open his eyes at all.
Looking out, this place looks like a small world opened by a powerful senior. The laws within make Ye Ling feel uncomfortable. It seems that his cultivation is difficult to fully display and is somewhat restricted.
Before he even took a step, he heard a crisp sound under his feet. Looking down, he saw bones all over the ground, covering the entire land and extending into the blood mist.
Ye Ling frowned. The scene here reminded him of the demon realm he had entered before: "Is there any relationship between Baili Longteng and the demons?"
Thinking of this, Ye Ling used Xuantian's residual image and moved forward into the blood mist. His consciousness was released outside his body, alerting him to the surrounding safety.
Not long after, Ye Ling raised his eyes and saw a Shura scene: "The vast sky is shining red, and corpses are made of earth and blood. Demonic energy fills purgatory like a charm, and death surrounds you. Rolling fishy water floats on the remains of the body. , layers of withered bones piled up on the hills. The ghosts of the tragic death are still lingering, and the head is still on the ground with open eyes. From a distance, the magic city is connected into a piece, and evil laughter is rampant in the wind. "
Ye Ling was so shocked that he could hardly move. Although the scene in the Demon Realm was tragic, most of them were just demon corpses, and there were not many.
But now we are in a place where human bones are piled up, and there are many freshly dead people with bloody flesh inside. It is really hard to accept for a moment.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ling suddenly realized why the monks of the three religions wanted to suppress the demons at all costs during the battle in the Demon Realm.
What I wish is that the scene in front of me never appears in the world again!
After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Ye Ling quietly headed towards the Demon City ahead.
This demonic city is much smaller than the one where I received the demon-slaying order, but it was covered in flesh and blood, making it dozens of times more ferocious and terrifying.
The city gate is wide open, and there are several corpses hanging on the walls on both sides. It can be seen that they were monks with extraordinary levels of cultivation before they were born. It's just that their energy and blood power didn't know where to go, and their corpses were so miserable that they seemed to have suffered horrific torture and died in despair.
As he got closer, Ye Ling seemed to be able to hear the wraiths wailing in the air, which was frightening.
At this time, there was sudden movement in the city. Ye Ling hurriedly hid behind a pile of flesh and blood, carefully checking.
Two demon soldiers came out, pushing a large cart, which was piled with human corpses. These corpses all died of being drained of their energy and blood.
The two demon soldiers pushed the cart aside, then sat on the edge and took the corpse and gnawed on the meat.
Since there were so many human corpses here, they didn't care at all. Each corpse would only eat some special parts, such as the heart, brain, etc. As for the limbs, they simply bit them off and threw them away.
Ye Ling looked at the scene in front of him with mixed emotions, but the situation was unclear and he couldn't take action easily.
There were estimated to be hundreds of corpses in this cart. The demon soldiers had a large appetite and quickly chewed and damaged all the corpses, and then pushed the empty cart back.
Ye Ling swept the pieces of meat on the ground expressionlessly and walked into the magic city.
Although the demon city is still filled with blood mist, there are no corpses on the ground. It seems that the demon soldiers will deliberately send the corpses outside the city.
Although there are some alleys in the city, there are no demons to be seen, and the two demon soldiers who delivered the corpse just now are also missing.
There are residential buildings in the city, but they are not popular and seem to be vacant.
Ye Ling searched with his consciousness and felt something approaching from the far street, so he hurriedly hid in a small courtyard. Not long after, I saw several other demon soldiers pushing a cart towards the city gate. There were even more corpses on it than before.
Ye Ling did not dare to act rashly and continued to sneak into the city.
The further you go inside, the more demonic energy you feel, and the blood is threatening. Several waves of high-level cultivation aura spread out in all directions, making Ye Ling dare not approach him at will.
There are still many demon soldiers and demon generals in the center of the city, and even many humans!
Ye Ling's spiritual consciousness explored and saw that these human beings were in ragged clothes, but they were as skinny as wood, weakly holding themselves up; their faces were frightened and uneasy, reflecting the fear of death and the unknown.
The surrounding demon generals randomly grabbed people from the crowd, put them in their mouths and bit them. The bloody scene was unsightly, and the sound of blood and broken meat falling to the ground was already frightening.
There is a bloody hall in the center of the city. It is sinister and terrifying. Thousands of ghosts are floating in the air, wailing day and night. The bloody evil energy shrouds the hall. Just taking a look at it, Ye Ling felt that his mind was shocked. It took him a while to recover.
Not long after, the door of the main hall suddenly opened wide, and a sinister smell from hell suddenly emitted. The strong wind enveloped all the human beings here, pulling them all into the main hall like a suction force.
The tens of thousands of people in the square in front of the palace disappeared in an instant. Immediately afterwards, the door was closed tightly, and the wailing sound could no longer be heard, only the thick blood filling the eyes.
After an unknown period of time, the door of the Blood Palace was opened again, and the dark wind inside carried a pile of human corpses and flesh and blood, and discarded them in the square of the main hall.
The tens of thousands of people who were alive just now have now become corpses whose blood has been sucked dry.
The demon general on the side directed the demon soldiers to clean up the carts. Although these corpses had no energy and blood, they were still a rare tonic for the demons and could be disposed of as they pleased.
The demon soldiers were cleaning and gnawing on the corpses. The hearts, livers and brains dug out were sent to the demon generals for consumption, so these corpses were already damaged before they were sent outside the city.
The demon soldiers would also secretly collect some intact corpses and send them outside the city before digging out the hearts, livers and brains for consumption, just like what Ye Ling saw when he first arrived.
The corpses in the square were all loaded onto cars and taken away. Each demon soldier left with a bloody thigh in his mouth.
Soon after, another group of demon soldiers and demon commanders escorted the humans to the square. What awaited them was the same tragic fate as before.
Ye Ling's body trembled several times while he was hiding in the dark. Even if he fell into hell, it would be nothing more than that.
But just as he was about to leave, a demonic energy suddenly rose from behind. Two demonic soldiers came here for unknown reasons. When they saw Ye Ling, they roared and rushed forward with guns and sticks raised.
Ye Ling was shocked and turned around quickly: "Exposed!"
