Qujiang Luoshi, in the mine.
As a wealthy weapon-refining family, the Luo family's business spans the three realms, and there is a stable source of materials for refining their magical weapons.
This mine is one of the foundations of Qujiang Luo Family.
Bang!
A young man in ragged clothes was carrying ore and throwing it into the car.
In fact, it was not difficult for him to move the ore.
But in his current situation, he could only act very hard.
He took two steps forward, patted the bull pulling the cart, and sighed in his heart: "You are so powerful that you became a coolie pulling the cart! In fact, I am also a coolie pulling the cart, but if I am like you, I will not hide it. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to see the sun the next day…”
This is a strange beast from the southern mountains. It has great strength, rough skin and thick flesh, but has low intelligence and is easy to tame.
Now the Luo family has thirty-two bulls and has built thirty bullock carts for transporting ore.
The young man's name is Luo Yi, and he comes from the main lineage.
His grandfather did not have a high level of cultivation. He had practiced all his life and was only at the upper level of Qi refining.
But his grandfather and the head of Qujiang Luo family were brothers.
But at the beginning of this month, the head of the family died in Kaiyang Mountain.
Within two days, there was civil strife in the clan, and they, the clan members from the main lineage, were expelled to the mine.
He asked his grandfather why he was so helpless.
Grandfather said that once he takes action, there will be civil strife, blood will flow in rivers, and all the people of the same clan will die.
More importantly, even if they won the battle and suppressed the rebellion of the collateral branch tribesmen, they would still be annihilated in the end.
Because the head of the family made a big mistake.
Only by surrendering and giving up the main line can the Luo family have a glimmer of hope.
Then within two days, my grandfather committed suicide.
The news coming from the clan is that the Xuantian Temple envoy believes that the direct descendants of the main clan should atone for their sins in the mines from now on.
Moreover, the Daoji Realm of the Main Lineage, which had previously suppressed Kaiyang Mountain, acquiesced even if they did not obstruct it.
In order to appease the anger of Xuantian Guan, the Daoji realm of the main line cannot survive.
So that night, all the Taoist realm members of this lineage, including the more prestigious old man at the Qi Refining realm, died.
They all died in the mines!
But Luo Yi has been deeply cultivated since he was a child and is not a stupid person. He saw the clues.
He also believed that his grandfather and the others had seen the clues.
Xuantian Temple is higher than the top of the clouds. In addition to the headmaster, there are two envoys. Their idea is to conquer the Luo family and establish their authority outside.
The remaining matters may not be investigated in detail.
This is not what Xuantian Guan means.
But it means in the clan.
But those elders still had no hesitation and were willing to die.
Luo Yi is still puzzled, but after seeing this bull, he vaguely understood something.
He remembered that on the first day he was demoted to the mine, his grandfather pointed at the wild bull and said something to him.
"This is the offspring of the second ancestor, the two cubs he brought back from the southern mountains."
"In the past, the second ancestor Luo Chen was in the realm of making the tripod. In his later years, he provoked powerful enemies and spent his entire life and remaining life to refine the Chen-breaking Sword and present it to Kaiyang Mountain, making my Luo family the Xuantian Temple. vassal."
"Therefore, the second ancestor Luo Chen felt ashamed and passed on the position of head of the family to my grandfather."
"Today, our lineage has also made a big mistake, which has led to the genocide. The situation is quite similar to the situation back then."
"Actually, at the moment, it is the best outcome to be able to preserve the same clan and even allow descendants of my main line to stay in the mines and survive."
On the third day after saying these words, Luo Yi's grandfather committed suicide.
The general trend of the clan has been set and cannot be changed.
Although there are many powerful people in the main lineage, it may not be impossible to regain the position of the head of the family, but the end is done.
The lineage of great elders has returned to the position of head of the family.
If their lineage fights again, it will still be the strength of the same clan that is weakened.
Moreover, the great elder has returned to Xuantian Temple on behalf of the Qujiang Luo clan.
If they seize power, they will disrupt the situation set by Xuantian Guan and challenge Xuantian Guan's majesty again.
"Yier, if we are dead, the great elder... no, the current head of the family can rest assured."
"Without the power of resistance, our lineage will not be exterminated."
"The current head of the family is not a kind person, but he still has the Qujiang Luo clan in his heart. The blood of his clan spilled here will be enough for our generation!"
"Living well is more important than anything else."
"Even if you are just a miner, you can still survive."
"But I believe that with your talent, you won't stay in the mines for the rest of your life."
My grandfather's expression at that time was extremely complicated. He said in a hoarse voice: "When Xuantian Temple was at its peak, I, the Qujiang Luo clan, was just a vassal... But now, Xuantian Temple has very few people."
"Before you turn twenty, remember to hide yourself."
"After you turn twenty, you should show off your talents."
"With your talent and Xuantian's current situation, they will not reject you. You are an unparalleled genius!"
"With the cultivation of Xuantian Temple, your future will be far superior to that of the Qujiang Luo family. In the future, you will even be able to avenge the second ancestor Luo Chen."
"The first thing that made the mistake was our lineage. The subsequent disasters and civil strife originated from the new family head's lineage, but you can't bear a grudge against Xuantian Guan."
"If you worship at the mountain gate with hatred, you will die in Kaiyang Mountain."
Thinking of his grandfather's words in his mind, Luo Yi felt heavy in his heart.
He felt that he was carrying the hope of this lineage.
But I didn't expect that my hope was shattered today.
Because four people came from the clan.
The person in charge was his uncle, named Luo Hong.
The leader of this generation of the Luo family has a good reputation in the Ziyang Domain.
"kill!"
The red scar on Luo Hong's forehead flashed with light.
His tone was full of coldness.
He also held a box in his hand.
The style is very similar to the box in Yan Jia's hand.
He watched this scene quietly, pulled out the magic sword in his hand, and his eyes turned red.
"do not blame me!"
The sword light was raised, blood was spilled, and arms and limbs were broken, which was disgusting.
The screams were endless.
The clansmen who were originally the main lineage faced an unexpected final bloodbath.
——
Outside the mines.
There is a river that meanders.
By the river, the young man was sitting on a rock in a daze.
His eyes were a little dull, a little dazed.
He was clearly uninjured and his body was extremely strong.
The wild beasts in the mountains feel the power before they even approach and flee far away.
But he just had a sense of decay that was on the verge of death.
The setting sun in the evening reflected on his body, adding a touch of twilight.
The sun is going down.
He also seemed to be dying.
But he didn't die.
"That's the soul-killing sword condensed by a great cultivator in the God Refining Realm who didn't hesitate to cut himself off to cultivate."
"It contains at least half of the opponent's soul power. This is the result of his half-life practice."
"Even if you have the soul-protecting treasure, you can't resist it."
"Even if there are two Taoist peaks standing in front of me, it's just two more layers of gauze."
"Logically speaking, I should die."
The master of Juhun Palace thought in a daze.
He leaned forward.
His blurred face was reflected in the water.
It remains the same, its appearance remains unchanged.
But a dim light flashed in his eyes, and what he saw from the water was not his physical face.
But his broken soul.
Three souls and seven souls were all damaged.
At this moment, the souls gathered together to form their own appearance, but it seemed like a piece was missing.
He saw his own head, half missing, hideous and terrifying, like a ghost.
At this moment, an endless chill arose in his heart.
"My soul is so damaged, why haven't I died yet?"
"I can still stay awake and maintain consciousness, but I just seem a little drowsy, that's all."
"Who am I?"
The Lord of the Soul-Jinging Palace thought silently: "What kind of monster am I?"
He was born in the Pluto Sect and was the best at dealing with souls.
Moreover, he is only half a step away from reaching the level of cultivating the cauldron to condense the Yin Shen, achieve the realm of refining the gods, and rank among the top practitioners in the world!
Therefore, he has an extremely deep understanding of the study of souls.
But the person he is today is beyond his expectations.
"Could it be...that he is Master?"
The face of the Lord of Soul-Jieting Palace changed.
When he had perfected his Qi refining, he entered the magic weapon of his mentor and understood the steps of casting the Taoist platform. Within half a month, he had the Taoist platform cast!
At the peak of Daoji, he also entered the magic weapon and understood the steps of making the tripod. One year later, the tripod was successfully cast!
And three years ago, after he completed the cauldron, he once again entered the illusion in the magic weapon of his mentor.
He went through the steps of "condensing the Yinshen" and realized the artistic conception of becoming a great practitioner in the realm of refining gods!
But this time, the teacher was extremely satisfied and seemed more amiable than ever before.
He told himself that with this realization, within ten years, Yin Shen could become a god.
He also told himself that the cauldron was now completed, but there were few opponents in the world under the God of Refining.
And there are very few who can kill him.
Even looking at the Divine Refining Realm, there are only a handful of great cultivators in Daqian who can kill him.
At that time, he only thought that it was a soul-protecting treasure given by his mentor, which was rare in the world.
But now, he vaguely understood something.
"What did my mentor do to me back then?"
Infinite fear arose in the heart of the Lord of Soul-Jieting Palace.
But before he could think about it, he saw a figure walking slowly not far away.
The most outstanding clan member of the Qujiang Luo clan, Luo Hong!
At this moment, the red scar between his eyebrows is flashing!
Twelve years ago, Luo Hong completed his Qi refining and was recruited by Xuantian Temple to go to the southern mountains to collect spiritual objects.
That time, Luo Hong returned and was rewarded with a Taoist platform.
And there was an additional wound between his eyebrows.
The previous head of the family thought highly of him and believed that the opportunity to build the Taoist platform was earned by his life, so he paid more attention to cultivation.
But today, he almost slaughtered all the clan members of the previous family head.
"I've met the palace master."
"Get up."
The master of Soul-Jieting Hall nodded slightly.
Twelve years ago, before he could cast the tripod, he met Luo Hong.
The sword left his hand intact and did not pierce the opponent's head.
Because he was given the Five Hells Ecstasy Mirror at that time, he tried it for the first time, using the Five Hells Illusion, and planted a calamity in his heart.
Maybe it was the first time to use the Five Hells Ecstasy Mirror at that time, so I was a little unskilled.
But after twelve years, Luo Hong was activated again, and his heart was still in jeopardy.
The master of Juhun Hall was slightly satisfied with his actions that year.
"In the spirit-bearing box, almost all the souls and blood demons of everyone in the mine have been collected!" Luo Hong bowed and presented the box.
"Um."
The master of Soul-Jieting Palace received the spirit-carrying box with a cold expression.
The Pluto Sect's Spirit-bearing Box was stolen, and everyone suspected it was a thief. He had hinted many times that Yan Jia, the sect leader's direct disciple, was the most suspect.
But in fact, what Yan Jia stole were just imitations.
He had already captured the real spirit box, and induced Yan Jia to steal the imitation.
First, the Yan Jia incident can be used to weaken the prestige of the clan leader.
Secondly, he obtained this spirit box, which will help him in his journey to become a god.
But after taking the spirit-carrying box, the Master of the Soul-Retaining Palace frowned slightly and said, "Is this all there is? I remember that among the main lineages assigned to the mine, there are many Taoist foundations..."
Below the eighth level of Daoji Realm, the soul is not much stronger than ordinary Qi refining.
But the real spirit box can carry blood.
The blood energy in the Daoji realm is far better than that of practitioners in the Qi refining realm.
He took a blow from the Soul-killing Sword last night. He was afraid that the great cultivator of the God Refining Realm who had hidden the sword in advance would arrive, so he panicked and immediately escaped from Xiaoyue Lake.
He didn't even dare to collect the two blood demons at the peak of Daoji.
It was also because he felt that the sacrifices already prepared in the Luo family's mines should be enough.
But now, it's more than a little bit different.
"Palace Master..."
Luo Hong said this, bowed down and said in a low voice: "The current head of the family, in order to stabilize his position, forced to death the Taoist level figures in the main lineage more than ten days in advance... So here, the highest is the refining one." Aura."
The face of the Lord of the Soul-Jieting Hall became extremely ugly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Even if his soul is seriously injured to this extent, it is not difficult to kill Luo Hong.
But once the shot is taken, the injury will be further worsened.
In the end, he gave up the idea and was about to speak when he suddenly frowned and said, "Are you injured?"
"..."
Luo Hong had a complicated look on his face, but he finally nodded and pulled open his collar, revealing a collapsed fist mark.
If he were not in the realm of Daoji, the true energy could already be released, and with a little blockage, maybe this punch could kill him.
The master of Juhun Palace said calmly: "In the mine, the highest level is only Qi Refining. Who can hurt you?"
Luo Hong paused and said: "A junior, at the middle level of Qi refining."
The master of Soul-Jieting Hall couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
How could someone in the middle of Qi refining hurt a Taoist character?
The last time I heard about it, it was Lu Wan who killed Yan Jia in Qujiang County.
He looked at Luo Hong and said calmly: "You said before that you had almost collected all the souls and blood demons in the mine? So it was not completely collected?"
"This boy is the most outstanding tribesman I have ever seen."
Luo Hong looked complicated and said in a low voice: "It's just a Qi refiner. One more person is not too much, and one person less than him is not a lot."
"It seems that back then, my cultivation was insufficient, and my use of the Five Hells Soul Mirror was also deficient. Your mind calamity... was not complete."
The master of Juhun Hall sighed with emotion.
Then Luo Hong's expression changed slightly and he waved his hand back.
A person hurriedly ran towards him from a distance, it was Luo Hong's confidant.
In his hands, he held a young man, Luo Yi, who was full of fear and resentment.
"Luo Hong's heart has never been rebellious!"
I saw this genius of the Luo family, who was famous for his unruly nature in the Ziyang Domain, bowing down and kowtowing immediately.
The master of Soul-Jieting Hall didn't look at him, but stretched out his hand to press on the young man.
"Refining qi and injuring the foundation of Dao, so gifted..."
The Master of the Soul-Retaining Hall looked solemn, and then he showed joy: "Innate divine power? You actually have the blood of gods and demons?"
Luo Hong was startled at first, and looked at Luo Yi in surprise.
In my impression, this child's biological mother died in childbirth.
"Although my bloodline is thin, it is of great use to me!"
The master of the Soul Binding Palace couldn't help but said with joy: "The gods and demons are outside the reincarnation of Hell. If we can sacrifice him... the effect will be far greater than the souls and blood demons of hundreds of people in the spirit bearing box."
When Luo Hong heard this, he immediately drew his sword and wanted to kill Luo Yi and put his soul and blood evil into the spirit box.
But the next moment, the master of Juhun Hall snorted coldly.
"Who allowed you to make your own decisions?"
"Palace Master..."
"Sacrifice him alive, the effect will be even greater!"
When the Master of Juhun Hall said this, he became more and more anxious.
Because his soul was damaged and his magic power was not functioning smoothly, it was gradually getting worse.
However, the technique he practiced, called the Impermanent Magic Technique, did not have the effect of directly connecting to the underworld and obtaining the water of the underworld.
So he could only wait for the arrival of the Five Hells' Soul Mirror.
If I had known this, I really shouldn’t have borrowed those trash from the Gao family in Xuanyang!
But around this day and night, the God of the Five Hells, as the weapon spirit, personally controlled the treasure and came from Jinshan Town. It was time to arrive.
"It has been many years since the weapon spirit was born, and we also know that there is a strong god-refining person on Kaiyang Mountain..."
"It was born by absorbing the souls of those disciples of the Pluto Sect who failed to advance to the True Inheritance, and was born by blending them. It is extremely cunning by nature, so it should be avoided, right?"
The master of Juhun Hall was vaguely worried, fearing that the headmaster Xuantian Guan would intercept him halfway.
With the current injury to his soul, he should have died...but for some reason, he survived.
But he knew in his heart that if he could not pass through the Five Hells Soul Mirror in time to warm and repair his soul, his injuries would continue to worsen.
"The Pluto Sect is deep in the southern mountains. It's too far away...I'm afraid that my soul will disappear if I can't see my mentor."
The master of Juhun Hall thought so in his heart, and suddenly showed a look of great joy.
I saw a ray of light in front of me, arriving in an instant.
He was the owner of the Five Hells' Soul Mirror, and he felt a very familiar energy.
He immediately stretched out his hand to fish it out, and saw that the Five Hells Lost Soul Mirror was in his hand.
He smiled and waved: "Luo Hong, protect me!"
Immediately when Luo Hong responded loudly, he drew his sword out of its sheath and stood nearby.
Luo Hong's confidants also took out their array devices and arranged the surrounding areas.
Luo Yi, who has the blood of gods and demons, is tied to the edge of the formation and cannot move.
Just because the Lord of the Soul-Retaining Palace was seriously injured, he had to concentrate on using the Five Hells Soul Enchanting Mirror to sacrifice the souls and blood demons in the Soul-bearing Box.
After he has recovered a little, he will sacrifice this young man with the thin blood of gods and demons to the underworld.
"Although all the sacrifices can't make me recover as before, my injuries will definitely not get worse. At least I can recover to around 60% of my prime..."
The Lord of Soul-Jieting Hall felt relieved when he thought about it this way.
His body is intact and his magic power is intact. As long as his soul recovers to 60%, he will be able to protect himself.
He could go straight to the southern mountains, return straight to the Pluto Sect, and ask for help from his master, without fear of difficulties and obstacles on the way.
As he opened the spirit box, the souls and blood demons inside were filled with endless resentment.
The five prison enchanted mirrors flashed with dim light.
In the dark, vast void.
These resentful souls and blood demons began to disappear, as if they had fallen into an undetectable whirlpool and been swallowed up.
And what follows is that from the vast void, there is endless water from the underworld, emerging in the Five Hells' Soul Mirror.
The water ripples on the mirror surface gradually became turbulent.
There seemed to be undercurrents and waves underneath, extremely deep.
In a daze, the master of Juhun Hall had a feeling that he, as a giant, looked down and held a lake in his hands.
Then he saw a green-faced and fanged ghost appear in the mirror.
He transformed into a whirlpool, and in the five hell's ecstasy mirrors, it seemed like the endless water of the underworld was swallowed up by Him.
The mirror became a mirror again.
But when the Lord of Soul-Jie Hall looked at the mirror, he suddenly felt that his appearance had transformed into this green-faced and fanged ghost.
"The soul is becoming more and more unstable and begins to feel unreal."
The master of Soul-Jieting Hall became increasingly anxious, and then heard him approach the mirror and shout: "God of the Five Hells, why don't you quickly release the water from the underworld to warm and nourish my body?"
The green-faced and fanged God of the Five Hells suddenly nodded and immediately opened his mouth.
boom!
Incomparably blazing light suddenly appeared!
From the mouth of the Five Hell Gods, it surged out through the mirror!
Like a river bursting its banks!
"Take another shot from me with the soul-killing sword!"
"..."
Infinite fear arose in the heart of the Lord of Soul-Jieting Hall.
But he got closer to the mirror and couldn't avoid it!
This soul-killing sword came towards the face and penetrated directly into the eyebrows!
A sword pierced the Dantian!
Destroyed and shattered, the soul collapsed!
"What?"
Luo Hong and others around him only saw the Master of the Soul-Retaining Palace, holding the mirror in both hands after opening the spirit box.
As soon as he got closer, he screamed!
I saw him throwing away the evil mirror and falling on his back.
The shrill sound echoed around the mountains and forests, lingering for a long time, making people feel chilled.
Luo Hong's expression changed drastically and he was about to step forward to take a look.
But at this moment, sword energy flew in instantly and killed one of his henchmen.
Warning signs arose in his heart, and he heard another sound.
"My sword can span thirty feet!"
But there was another sword energy, killing another person.
Two of his confidants died in the blink of an eye. Luo Hong was shrouded in coldness, his face became extremely pale, and he kept retreating.
But he saw a person walking slowly in the forest ahead.
Holding a long sword and wearing Taoist robes.
Seeing the other person's face clearly, Luo Hong's pupils shrank.
"Lu Wan?"
"you……"
Lu Wan thought for a while, finally remembered, and said, "I met you in the Luo family's ancestral land."
However, Lu Wan didn't take him seriously. He looked past Luo Hong and looked at the body lying behind him.
A practitioner who has made a great success in making the cauldron!
A high-ranking figure from the Pluto Sect!
The real owner of the Five Hells’ Soul Mirror!
The mastermind behind Xiaoyue Lake Altar!
"it's him?"
Lu Wancai thought like this, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.
Because the body in his sight that was supposed to die suddenly jumped up!
Luo Hong looked at Lu Wan in front of him warily, and then he felt the cold wind coming from behind him!
Before he could turn around to look, he noticed that his body was light.
He was thrown up.
But he was only half thrown.
Because he saw that from the waist down, it was still in the same place.
In the blink of an eye, he, a Daoji realm practitioner, was torn into two pieces.
The master of Soul-Jieting Hall, with blood-red eyes, tore Luo Hong's body apart and was covered in blood.
Then, the blood on his body suddenly evaporated and turned into a blood mist.
In the blood mist, the Lord of the Soul-Retaining Hall turned into an escaping light.
In the blink of an eye, we have reached the horizon ahead.
The Pluto Sect's Blood-Burning Escape Technique!
"He's not dead?" The horrified voice of the Fourth Ancestor came from the Five Hells' Soul Mirror, full of disbelief: "What kind of monster is this?"
"Chase!"
At the critical moment, the Third Patriarch was extremely calm and said in a solemn tone: "Kill the last bit of his soul!"
Before her voice fell, Lu Wan had already made a move.
The weirder the other party is, the harder it is to let him escape.
Otherwise, it will come back and cause endless troubles.
