Outside the palace, Song Zhe was annoyed because he was rejected by the seducing witch. He was even more angry when he heard that something had slipped through the net, and he immediately took a few steps forward to investigate.
Ye Ling frowned and was about to draw his sword to fight. Suddenly a figure fled behind him. Song Zhe saw him, shouted and chased after him.
Ye Ling couldn't help but be shocked. He thought that his spiritual consciousness was powerful, so he was even more cautious. But he had no idea when the person behind him appeared.
Especially the movement he used to escape just now seemed familiar to Ye Ling. But what is even more certain is that this human body method is not as powerful as the magic thief and ghost thief!
Ignoring the two leaving for the time being, Ye Ling calmed down and walked quietly in the underground palace.
In addition to the main hall where Song Zhe and the woman were just now, there were several houses. The auras inside were so strong that Ye Ling did not dare to act rashly.
He slowly came to the depths and saw prisons on both sides. All of them were teenage boys and girls. Their eyes were empty and they seemed to have problems with their consciousness.
Ye Ling looked around and found the woman's daughter from the crowd. According to the woman, her daughter had three moles on her neck and a beaded chain around her wrist, which was correct.
The wooden sword flew out and chopped off the lock, but the boy and girl imprisoned inside did not react at all. He didn't even look up at Ye Ling.
Ye Ling was about to go in and take the person out when suddenly some breath came from behind him. He had no choice but to go into prison and hide among the crowd so as not to be exposed.
Immediately afterwards, Song Zhe and several men in black robes came in after returning. The leader of the man in black robe had a strong aura, which made Ye Ling very afraid.
Song Zhe also looked respectful next to him. But he heard the man in black robe say: "This place has been exposed, these human races must be moved as soon as possible." Song Zhe said: "I obey the envoy's instructions." As he spoke, the man in black robe waved his hand, and blood-colored light shone in the void. The carvings seemed to form a strange formation.
After the formation was finished, a door of chaos opened, leading to nowhere. At this time, Song Zhe came to the cell door and opened the cell one by one. Although he noticed that one of the locks was broken, he didn't say much.
After all the cell doors were opened, Song Zhe shouted: "All come out and throw yourself in!" Those boys and girls stood up and walked out of the cell door one after another like zombies, and disappeared into the door of chaos.
Ye Ling had nowhere to escape at this moment, so he had no choice but to blend into the crowd and join the Chaos Gate. After seeing off these people, the man in black robe also left from the Gate of Chaos together with Song Zhe and the witch in the palace.
Not long after they left, a group of people suddenly broke into the place, led by a young man in yellow clothes, who was Xiao Xuanyu, the holy son of the Holy Spirit Sect.
Next to him stood a man wearing tight-fitting black clothes, a veil covering his face, and a Guizhou scarf covering his head. His appearance was indistinguishable.
It was the person who was discovered by Song Zhe who was following Ye Ling just now. The men investigated here and reported to Xiao Xuanyu: "Report to the Holy Son, there is no one here." Xiao Xuanyu stepped into the palace, and lying on the ground beside the bed were two naked teenagers who had lost all their energy and died.
"You haven't cooled down, yet you ran away so fast!" Xiao Xuanyu turned to look at the man in black behind him. The man in black apologized and said, "This subordinate is incompetent!"
"It has nothing to do with you," Xiao Xuanyu frowned slightly: "Which number is this?"
"the fifth."
"If this matter is known to the three religious sects, wouldn't it just give them a reason to beg my Holy Spirit Cult?" The attendant next to him stepped forward and said: "Do you want to send someone to report to the chief sect and send more people to investigate."
"It doesn't have to be like this for the time being," Xiao Xuanyu said: "Fortunately, there hasn't been any big noise yet. In addition, I also have a way to find the hiding place of these rats!"... Behind the Gate of Chaos, there were crowds of people, and Ye Ling hid. Among them, he carefully observed his surroundings.
But at this moment, they came to another underground palace. Although the sun and moon were not visible, there were orbs hanging above their heads, shining brightly as bright as day.
The underground palace here is spacious, with some palaces around it. There is an altar in the central square, but I don't know what it is used for.
There were many men in black robes standing on both sides. Although their faces could not be seen clearly, Ye Ling could feel a strong sense of death from them.
"These men in black robes should not be demons or demon cultivators." Ye Ling has seen many demon clans and demon cultivators. What they exude is evil spirit and blood energy, just like those demon clans in the Demon Realm. .
But just like Weeping Blood, demon cultivators like Yu Wuxie who do not practice killing will not always have blood around them, only a faint evil aura.
Ye Ling had never seen the death energy in these black-robed men before from demons or demon cultivators. Not long after, behind the crowd, the black-robed man and Song Zhe who opened the door to chaos, as well as the scantily clad, charming witch, also appeared.
Then, a middle-aged man with a fat body, luxurious clothes and a smile came forward and said to the black-robed man: "Welcome the divine envoy." The black-robed man waved his hand and said: "Song Zhe is already here If exposed, these humans will be handed over to you. Song Zhe, follow me!" A orb floated in front of the man in black robe, and the light enveloped Song Zhe, the witch and the followers behind him.
In a flash of light, they disappeared. The remaining fat middle-aged man waved his hand, and the man in black came forward and guided the crowd towards the prison next to the square.
Like the previous underground palace, many people were imprisoned here. It's just that the people here are of all ages, unlike the newcomers who only have young men and women.
But they were all like these teenagers, their eyes were empty, as if they had lost their minds. Ye Ling kept pulling the little girl he was looking for. When the man in black was not paying attention, he walked into a prison. There were many people in this prison. With Ye Ling's current appearance, no one would notice him. .
After everyone was sent in and the cell door was locked, the middle-aged man left. Ye Ling took the little girl and sat aside, put his hands on her shoulders, and used his power to explore her body to see what kind of evil spell she had been under.
At this moment, a young man came over and said to Ye Ling: "Brother Taoist is also a monk." Ye Ling was startled and looked up at the man. He was wearing blue Taoist robes and his cultivation level was no higher than the Qingyou realm. He was not the same as the others. Lost his mind.
Seeing Ye Ling's wary expression, the man quickly said: "Brother Taoist, don't get me wrong, I have a disciple of Hanzong in Xiajiang named Feng Chong. He was also captured by the Trinity Sect."
"I'm Li Feng, a casual cultivator." Ye Ling gave a name and asked, "What is the Trinity Sect?" Feng Chong said, "The people who captured us call themselves the Trinity Sect. They are a sect that came out of nowhere. On the surface, They pretended to be the Holy Spirit Cult to recruit believers, but actually captured and imprisoned them." As he spoke, Ye Ling withdrew his hand and frowned.
He found that the little girl's consciousness seemed to have been lost, and now she was like a walking zombie, and it was almost impossible to recover.
Feng Chong looked on and asked in a low voice: "Who is this..."
"My friend's daughter," Ye Ling sighed, "I was entrusted to look for her, but Bu Shi was also caught. Brother Chen Dao is stronger than me, why was he also caught?" Chen Chong said, "This Trinity Sect is robbing my sect." I was ordered to go down the mountain to investigate the incense at the door, but they found out and arrested me. Don’t underestimate this Trinity Church, it is much more powerful than our Jiang Han Sect!"
"Then we won't be able to get out"
"Probably."
"Brother Chen Dao, does he know what those of us who are captured will be used for?"
"Of course I'll kill him," Chen Chong looked calmly, pointing to the altar in the square and said, "I don't know what kind of weird ritual it is to throw the body on that altar. I saw it twice and I couldn't understand the incantation. , not what we say here." Ye Ling looked at the altar. It was built in the shape of a six-pointed star, surrounded by white wax, and a cross stood in the middle. It was very strange, completely different from anything Ye Ling had ever seen. .
Chen Chong saw that Ye Ling's expression did not change after hearing what he said, and he couldn't help but smile curiously: "Brother Dao is also very courageous, and he is not afraid even when death is imminent."
"Aren't you the same?"
"I" Chen Chong put his arms on his pillow and half-lyed and said with a smile: "If you die, you will die. Aren't you meant to live until you die? It will be sooner or later, but there is no need to worry." Ye Ling smiled slightly, but He still had things to do and didn't want to die so early.
He looked at the man in black on duty at the square and asked: "How many people are guarding here, and what is their level of cultivation?" Chen Chong felt that Ye Ling's level of cultivation was not as good as his own, so it was useless to ask these questions, so he casually said : "The leader here is a fat man, who probably has the cultivation level of Lingxu Realm. The other men in black also have the cultivation level of Qingyou Realm. Occasionally, a few high-level people will come to preside over the ceremony. I advise you not to bother." I've been imprisoned here for half a year, and I still can't escape." Ye Ling didn't pay much attention to him, and kept exploring the terrain and the location of the guards with his spiritual consciousness.
Chen Chong was lying lazily, chatting with Ye Ling: "We are the only two with good brains here. As long as we hide in a corner every time they come to capture people for sacrifice, we don't have to worry about being discovered. That's what I rely on Zhao has been alive for the past six months. But these past six months have really bored me to death, and no one can speak human words. It's better this time, we two keep company, and I'm not lonely after all."
"Brother Taoist is a casual cultivator. I don't know if I have ever met a disciple of Jiang Hanzong. I have been missing for half a year. I don't know how many people they sent to look for me. If I don't go back, Master will be anxious to death!"
"Brother Taoist, wherever you go in the Immortal Palace, tell me what you have seen and heard."
"The wooden sword on your back looks good. Brother Taoist, it's hard to practice swordsmanship nowadays. Brother Taoist, I really admire you for rising to the challenge." Chen Chong kept chattering, but Ye Ling ignored him.
He observed for a long time, then withdrew his consciousness, turned to Chen Chong and said: "Go out with me, or stay here to eat and wait to die?"
"What?" Chen Chong was stunned for a moment. In his opinion, with the two of them's level of cultivation, rushing out was just looking for death. They would have to die many days earlier!
Ye Ling ignored him and drew out the wooden sword, then carried the little girl on his back, slashed with a sharp edge, and the cell door opened: "You decide whether to leave or stay!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ling stepped on his feet. Xuantian's afterimage swept away quickly.
Chen Chong was left in a mess on the spot: "Brother Taoist... so fast!" Although Ye Ling didn't want to alert the guards, there was a barrier at the entrance to the underground palace.
With no other choice, Ye Ling slashed out his sword. The sword energy broke through the barrier, but it caused a huge noise.
The fat middle-aged man jumped out and when he saw Ye Ling, he didn't dare to step forward to fight. On the other hand, those men in black stepped forward bravely to stop Ye Ling.
Ye Ling's wooden sword waved, and the sharp sword energy shot through the air, instantly knocking the four men in black chasing behind him into the air and killing them.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ling used his body skills again to escape. At this moment, there were a few breaths coming from the entrance to the underground palace, which made Ye Ling startled.
Immediately afterwards, someone above was heard shouting: "It seems someone is coming, please be careful!"
