At night, the originally bustling Jade Hu Sect was completely silent. Only the lanterns in the hands of the night watch disciples who happened to pass by could hear three or two crackling sounds accompanied by rustling footsteps.
"Master Xifeng, how long do you want me to wait?" An impatient voice sounded in the forest.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer...We're almost there..." The master of the West Peak made a silent gesture, signaling the master of the East Peak to keep quiet.
Not long after, a cloud covered the moonlight in the sky, and the master of Xifeng stood up from the forest: "It's almost done, let's go!"
The Master of the East Peak thought that the Master of the West Peak was nervous about something, and he looked dumbfounded: "Master of the West Peak, since you want to move at night, why did you go to me so early?"
The master of Xifeng looked embarrassed: "I was a little excited at the time and didn't pay attention to the time..."
"That's all..." The master of the East Peak just wanted to find out the cause of the matter and said, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
The master of the West Peak sighed, and his expression became gloomy again: "What I want to say is...the missing disciples have been found..."
"Isn't it a good thing to recover what was lost?" Dongfeng Peak Master heard this and subconsciously replied. Then he suddenly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere and frowned: "Do you mean..."
"Yes, these disciples have been killed..." The master of Xifeng squeezed out these words with difficulty.
"Then have you found the murderer?" the master of Dongfeng asked.
"This is why I came to you..." The West Peak Master sighed again, "It's hard to explain clearly with words alone. You will know later..."
The two of them walked down the mountain road and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous cave. The entrance of the cave in front of you is only half the size of a human body, and there are many weeds covering the entrance. If you don't look carefully, it is almost difficult to detect its existence.
The master of the East Peak followed behind the master of the West Peak, ducked into the cave entrance and sneaked in the darkness. He hadn't taken a few steps when he saw a bright light in front of him. It turned out that the master of the West Peak had lit a torch from nowhere, illuminating the scene in front of him brightly.
The master of the East Peak looked around and saw that the space here was like a bowl. The farther he moved forward, the higher his head got, which finally allowed him to stand up.
"Master of the East Peak, please look, these are the bodies of those disciples." The Master of the West Peak lifted up the thatch not far away, exposing what was hidden in it.
"How is this possible? Are you really sure that...these are your West Peak disciples?" Seeing the situation clearly, the East Peak Master took a breath, a little unbelievable.
"Of course I'm sure." The master of Xifeng sighed, with a look of regret on his face.
"But as far as I know, your West Peak disciples have only been missing for a few days. Even if they were killed at that time, they would never be like this!" The master of the East Peak shook his head repeatedly.
What appeared in front of him at this time were clearly several haggard mummies. If he hadn't heard the explanation from the West Peak Master, the East Peak Master would have even thought that these disciples had been dead for some years.
The conditions for the formation of mummies are very harsh, usually in a particularly dry place, or the surrounding air is completely removed. However, the environment of Yuhu Sect is humid and warm, and such a situation would never occur under natural conditions. This moment made the master of Dongfeng Peak extremely surprised.
"What the Master of the East Peak said is right. At first, I was a little doubtful of my eyes. I thought it was due to my haste that I made a mistake in identification. After all, these disciples had become dehydrated and lost their appearance! It was only later that I dug out some objects from them. This proves their identity." The master of Xifeng said with a heavy expression.
The master of Dongfeng nodded, leaned down and carefully looked at the mummies on the ground, and whispered: "I saw that the blood on these disciples was dry, and there was no moisture at all. It seemed that they were burned by fire techniques. ...But if that’s the case, it’s really strange that these disciples’ clothes were not damaged at all!”
"Master of the West Peak, could it be that the fire spirit attacked their hearts when they were practicing the spells and they went crazy?" The Master of the East Peak frowned and stood up, asking suspiciously.
The master of Xifeng shook his head repeatedly: "This is impossible. Although careless practice of fire arts will indeed cause the backlash of the skills, if this situation is really caused by their own fire spirits, they will definitely have fire poison lines left on their bodies! But their bodies You should have seen the situation clearly. Not only are there no traces on the body surface, but there is no trace of fire spirit left in the body! This situation is as if... it is as if someone has drained the blood!"
Although the Master of Xifeng is stingy, he is very concerned about matters involving the Jade Pot Sect and has never slacked off in the slightest. He has absolutely no reason to attack his disciples! Therefore, the master of Dongfeng Peak naturally believed in his explanation.
"How is it possible? If someone in the Jade Pot Sect possesses such evil magic skills, it is impossible to hide it!" The master of the East Peak frowned, then raised his head: "Master of the West Peak, I understand what you mean. , I can also give it a try, but I can’t guarantee that I can help!”
"Sigh...I know this too! But no matter what the outcome is, I still want to thank you!"
"I didn't expect you to be so polite..." The East Peak Master joked in order to lighten the atmosphere, then took a deep breath to calm down, and nodded to the West Peak Master: "You give way, I want to here we go!"
Upon hearing this, the West Peak Master hurriedly hid aside, and then saw visible airflows suddenly appearing around the East Peak Master. These airflows were like a big net, wrapping up several mummies on the ground as soon as they appeared!
"Wind Jue! Catching wind and shadow!"
The strong wind around the master of the East Peak almost blew out the torch in the hand of the Master of the West Peak. Fortunately, the latter hurriedly hid the torch behind his back, thus preserving the only light in the cave.
This strong wind came and went quickly, bringing up a pillar of earth and shooting towards the outside of the cave. And the remaining dust is still rising and falling in this small space...
Some time has passed since the strong wind left, but the master of the East Peak has always maintained the finger gesture just now and made no other movements.
Although the master of Xifeng was impatient, he did not dare to disturb him and could only wait in silence. But the longer he waited, the more anxious he became, and he always felt a burning sensation coming from the back of his body and head.
He wrinkled his nose and suddenly smelled something burnt in the air. Then he suddenly reacted and hurriedly took the torch hidden behind his back in front of him and patted the flames ignited behind his back...
I don't know how much time passed, but when the peak master of Xifeng was covering the back of his head that was burnt to the point of baldness, with a sad expression, suddenly a strong wind swept from the entrance of the cave in front of him! This time, the leader of the West Peak reacted very quickly and raised the torch aside in time, finally barely saving the front half of his head from being burned by the flames.
"Yes!" As soon as the strong wind returned, the master of the East Peak put away his fingers and said with a solemn expression: "Master of the West Peak, follow me quickly!"
When the latter heard this, he didn't care about the cool feeling on the back of his head. He followed Dongfeng Peak Master out of the cave and ran down the mountain.
…
"This blood poison pill is extremely powerful. As long as you can find a way to make the four peak masters subdue it, after they kill each other, you can show up and reap the benefits!"
"But Mr. Nanjing, let's not mention that I just offended the master of the East Peak with my words today. I am not familiar with the masters of the other three peaks, so I'm afraid I don't have the slightest chance!"
"The opportunity is not given to you by anyone, but you have to fight for it yourself! Now that Lu Chun has no use value, you Yunlang will never let me down again!"
"I don't dare. It's just that I'm stupid and can't think of any way..." At the back of the East Peak, Yun Lang nodded and bowed to the man hiding in the shadows, his attitude extremely respectful.
"I'm just here to explain things, and other things are not within my scope of consideration..." The man said quietly, "Having said that, if the ancestor of Mingyuan knew that you have the blood of the enemy flowing in your body, he would never know that he would kill you. How to deal with it?" As he said that, the man suddenly laughed strangely.
"This subordinate knows what to do!" Yun Lang's face broke out in cold sweat when he heard this, and he could only agree to the matter with difficulty.
"It's good to know... don't worry! As long as you behave obediently, I won't treat you badly! Jie Jie..." There was another strange laugh in the male mouth, which made Yun Lang feel chills all over his body.
The man wanted to say a few more words, but his voice suddenly dropped: "Boy! I specifically told you to take care of your tail when you came here, how dare you turn a deaf ear to my words?"
Yun Lang's face turned pale when he heard this: "Mr. Nanjing, you are wronged! I made a few extra rounds before coming here. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to find out!"
The man didn't reply when he heard the words. He was just silent for a moment, then let out a light sigh and frowned: "It seems that the tail this time is a bit difficult... It's not suitable to stay here for a long time!"
"Yunlang!"
"Ah? My subordinate is here..." Yun Lang shrank his neck again when he heard the man's voice and responded hurriedly.
"I hope you won't disappoint me as I told you what I have told you!" the man warned again.
"I will definitely do my best!" Yun Lang nodded.
"Before I leave...there is one more thing I need your help with..." the man said coldly.
Hearing that the man was about to leave, Yunlang finally breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "My lord, just ask..."
…
"That weird aura should be around here, be careful!" The master of the East Peak grabbed the master of the West Peak and lowered his voice to remind him.
The West Peak Master's eyes were full of anger, and he didn't take the East Peak Master's words to heart at all: "Are you still worried about my strength? Except for that monster from the North Peak, I really don't take anyone else seriously!"
The master of the East Peak smiled bitterly and shook his head. The master of the West Peak was indeed right. Although his Wind Technique and South Peak's Water Technique should be very restrained against the Fire Technique based on their attributes, the old guy from the West Peak would always Use strange moves to overwhelm them and give them the upper hand...
"Master of the West Peak, I'm not telling you to be careful about yourself. I'm worried that you won't be able to control yourself and destroy my East Peak!"
"Why do I feel that you are more stingy than me?" The master of Xifeng frowned when he heard this, but he was not as eager to take action as before.
"Ahhhh..."
Just as the two of them were whispering and approaching the back mountain of Dongfeng, a scream suddenly rang out and echoed in the valley for a long time...
