So they returned to the inn and discussed in Meng Xuan's room.
"Where do you think this demon guardian will go?"
Yun Jinyi thought for a long time and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "Sima's family! That demon protector will definitely go to Sima's family."
Shangguan Fuchen frowned slightly but said nothing.
He always felt that there was something fishy about this matter. Logically speaking, the demon protector should be very powerful, but he was injured by the two of them just now. This shows that he has not yet returned to his strongest state!
Sima family! Child's blood!
Shangguan Fuchen reacted instantly, "Quick, let's go to Sima's house."
Meng Xuan and Yun Tianlin looked at each other and realized that the demon protector was probably going after Tong Xue and they had to stop him.
"Where is Sima's family?" Yun Jinyi asked.
"The east side of Weiyang Kingdom."
The five people rushed to Sima's house quickly. Because Sima's house was located far away, it was quite a journey from Wuyang's capital.
It was almost evening when a few people arrived, and the beautiful sunset on the horizon reflected the earth.
"How do we get in?" Yun Jin asked with a frown. There were many guards patrolling outside the Sima family compound. The defense was extremely tight. I heard from the secret guards that there were even experts stationed inside.
Shangguan Fuchen looked at the sky and said, "We can enter the Sima Mansion late at night. It will be disadvantageous for us during the day. We are afraid that the demon guardian will notice and run away again."
Several people fell into a brief silence.
When Yun Jin saw how helpless they were, he suddenly had an idea and said, "We can pretend to be guards and just sneak into Sima Mansion. It's not difficult."
"..." Shangguan Fuchen smiled. His family was really smart, and he could think of it as soon as he thought about it.
Upon hearing this, Yun Tianlin knocked out the patrolling guards when they were not paying attention, took off the guards' clothes and threw them to them.
"Stop talking nonsense, quickly change your clothes and get ready for action." Meng Xuanyi whispered.
"Okay!" Yun Jinyi said with excitement.
Shangguan Fuchen glanced at the secret guard, "Just wait outside."
He already knew the specific location of the forbidden area. It was difficult to hide due to the large number of people, so he was asked to stay outside to respond.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hearing this, the secret guard hid in the darkness.
The four of them changed into their bodyguard uniforms, then disguised themselves, and walked into Sima's house openly. They quietly slipped into the backyard of Sima's house, found a secluded place to hide, and observed the surrounding situation.
The Sima Mansion was heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling in an endless stream. At this moment, a young man wearing a guard uniform hurried over.
Shangguan Fuchen immediately used spiritual sound transmission to tell the other three people, "Follow me!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them hurriedly followed, and the four of them followed the guard's footsteps to the outskirts of the Sima family's forbidden area. The Sima family's forbidden area was full of weirdness, and it was actually in a cemetery.
But today, there were many guards patrolling the entrance to the forbidden area. It was obvious that the Sima family had some dirty secrets.
The guard was opening the stone gate of the forbidden area and seemed to be in a hurry.
Taking advantage of the interval when the guards were patrolling, Yun Tianlin and Meng Xuan exchanged glances with each other and followed the guards in without saying a word.
Yun Jinyi and Shangguan Fuchen looked at each other and followed without any hesitation.
As soon as he entered the forbidden area, he felt a cold air blowing towards his face, making Yun Jinyi couldn't help but shrink his shoulders.
"Be careful!" Meng Xuanyi warned, and then took out a torch to illuminate the surroundings.
The three nodded heavily, and the four continued to move forward.
The layout of this forbidden area is more complicated than outside, with twists and turns. The four of them are constantly exploring the surrounding environment, trying to find the location of the demon protector.
"Let's go to the right!"
Yun Jinyi's voice rang in his ears, Meng Xuan nodded and walked along the left side.
"Hey, there seems to be a secret passage here?"
Yun Jinyi suddenly said in surprise, Meng Xuanyi raised his eyes and indeed saw a dark hole somewhere in the wall.
"Let's go!" Meng Xuanyi decided immediately.
A few people walked slowly along the secret passage. The deeper they went, the deeper and quieter they became, the more chilling they felt.
"Be careful, I seem to smell the smell of rotting corpses." Yun Jin's face was solemn, and her small nose moved slightly, as if she smelled something.
Meng Xuan glanced around cautiously, "I smelled it too."
At this moment, Yun Tianlin suddenly pointed forward and said, "Look!"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly found many children's corpses lying in front of them. The corpses were slightly stiff, and they must have been dead for some time.
Yun Jinyi's pupils shrank violently, "So many corpses of children under the age of five!"
"Damn it!" Meng Xuanyi's eyes flashed with anger, "How cruel!"
He wished he could cut these people into pieces. These children were so young and died like this before they could appreciate the beauty of the world.
Although Yun Tianlin was also very angry, he still maintained his rationality, "The most important thing now is to find the demon protector first, otherwise more children will be harmed."
Several people looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
They walked along the secret passage and finally reached the depths of the forbidden area.
"Look there is an altar there." Yun Jinyi pointed at the altar and said.
Everyone followed their gazes and saw many tables placed on the altar. On the tables were many bottles and jars filled with bright red blood.
At this time, a strong smell of blood spread from inside, making Yun Jinyi feel nauseated.
"Why is there an altar there? Is this the demon guardian holding a sacrifice?" Yun Jinyi asked doubtfully.
"It's possible." Shangguan Fuchen narrowed his eyes and said. This kind of sacrifice can greatly increase people's magic power. "No matter what the reason is, destroy the altar first to avoid harming more people."
Meng Xuan and Yun Tianlin both nodded in agreement. They quickly circulated the spiritual energy in their bodies and flew towards the altar together.
"Who dares to destroy my ceremony!" A loud shout suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
The two men immediately stopped attacking and stared at the altar with vigilance. They found that many figures in black robes suddenly appeared around the altar, exuding an evil and murderous aura.
The leader was wearing a gray robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes were long and narrow, revealing a fierce and sinister look.
Yun Jin recognized it at a glance. This person was Xiu Ying who was taken away by the demon protector.
"Xiu Ying!" Yun Jin's voice was cold.
The demon protector raised his eyebrows, "You guys are really committed to each other. You want to destroy this deity's sacrificial ceremony. It's impossible!"
"Then give it a try!" Yun Jinyi snorted coldly.
"Hahahahaha." The demon protector raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard some big joke. He spat out a few words one by one, "You are just a few useless people who want to stop me! You are talking nonsense!"
