As the saying goes, "Looking up the mountain is like running to death." Duanshan looked very close, but it took them about a stick of incense to really get close to the foot of the mountain.
In order not to alert others, the four of them suppressed the light, and finally fell into the forest and moved forward quietly.
Although this place is only a few hundred miles away from Yuanzhou City, perhaps because it was once a holy land of the Demon Cult, it appears to be very deserted. Almost the entire mountain range is deserted.
But this mountain range that should have been deserted seems to have become "lively" during this time.
The four of them walked through the forest for only a few miles. Although they did not see any human figures, they found dozens of traces of human activity.
These traces are very new and appear to have been left not long ago.
So the four of them moved more carefully, not even making the slightest sound.
After another half hour of cautious groping in the forest, until the sky was getting dark, Chu Yungong suddenly stretched out his hand to signal the others to stop.
After a few people stopped, Chu Yungong said softly:
"It smells like smoke!"
After his reminder, the three of them also twitched their noses and inhaled slightly, and sure enough they smelled a faint smell of smoke.
They suddenly became energetic. There was a smell of fireworks, and there must be someone nearby!
The few people walked for a while following the direction where the smell of smoke came, and saw faint firelight flickering in the woods ahead, and the sound of human voices came along with the breeze.
found it!
But the woods here are too dense, and if you go any further, you will definitely make some noise.
Several people looked at each other, and Bu Xiaotian and the other three had no good ideas.
Chu Yungong, on the other hand, signaled them to be calm, and then saw his lips moving slightly, as if he was silently reciting the incantation. While reciting the incantation, several magic incantations were changed on his hand.
After he finished everything, everyone felt a breeze blowing in their faces, and at the same time there were bursts of chatter.
Bu Xiaotian recognized the spell in Chu Yungong's hand when he was casting it. It was a small spell recorded in Yuzhu Peak's "Jingfeng Jue" - the Wind Whispering Curse.
Together with Yuxu Sect, it is divided into five peaks and five meridians. Each peak has a main true art, namely Wuji Peak's "Xuanyuan Art", Zi Lei Peak's "Divine Thunder Art", and Chiling Peak's "Blazing Fire". Jue", Yuzhu Peak's "Jingfeng Jue", and Wuyin Peak's "Mingshui Jue". Ordinary disciples can practice "Ten Thousand Swords Jue" after reaching the fourth level of "Dao Xuan Jing". As well as the corresponding true techniques of this peak, the remaining four true techniques can only be practiced after breaking through the fifth level.
Although Bu Xiaotian's cultivation level had not broken through to the fifth level of the "Dao Xuan Jing" when he came down the mountain, for some reason, Xiao Tianxiong had already taught him all the true secrets of the other four meridians of the Yuxu Sect before he came down the mountain.
But Bu Xiaotian knew that his cultivation was insufficient and he did not practice these four true techniques rashly, so he could recognize that what Chu Yun Gong was using was the Wind Curse, but he could not use it himself.
The reason why the Wind Whispering Spell is just a small spell is because the spell itself is not very powerful. It can only use the breeze to detect the subtle movements around it.
People who are new to this technique can only use the breeze to hear sounds within a radius of dozens of feet at most, but Chu Yungong can make all four of them hear the conversation in the forest. It is obvious that he is highly skilled in this technique. Not shallow.
Before they could be surprised, they had already heard what the people in the forest were talking about.
One person asked somewhat depressedly:
"What exactly does the Great Elder want us to find?"
Another person replied:
"I don't know. Anyway, it's the great elder's order, so we have to follow it."
The tone of the man before was slightly complaining:
"But they didn't even tell us what we were looking for. They just let them wander around in the mountains. When will we find what the elder wants? If we see it but don't recognize it, wouldn't we have missed it in vain? ? Really..."
Before the man finished speaking, another person seemed to have covered his mouth, and the other person's slightly panicked voice immediately sounded:
"Shh! Just think about it in your mind. Why do you say it out loud?"
The man before seemed a little disinterested:
"There's no one here, so what's the point of complaining?"
Another person said:
"Okay, keep your complaints to yourself. The Great Elder has great powers. How do you know he can't hear us at this time?"
The person before seemed a little helpless that the other person was so afraid of the great elder they called him, but he still changed the subject:
"Okay, is there any news from anyone else?"
Another person replied:
"No, if there is any news, we should all be called over."
The man before suggested again:
"That's right. But we have searched the area almost inch by inch in the past few days and found nothing. How about we go inside tomorrow?"
"good."
"You should rest first. I'll be on duty for the first half of the night, and you take my place for the second half of the night."
"Um."
The other person agreed, and the forest became quiet.
Seeing that there was no movement in the forest, Chu Yungong dispersed the magic formula and raised his hand to point behind.
The others immediately understood and quietly retreated along the way they came.
After walking two miles, the four of them stopped and made sure that there was no one else around. Only then did Chu Yungong speak:
"It sounds like they are looking for something."
Everyone else also heard what those two people said and nodded.
"But what are they looking for? It seems that a lot of people have been dispatched?"
Bu Xiaotian and the others may not know as much as Chu Yun Gong, so naturally they cannot answer his questions.
Chu Yungong didn't expect them to answer. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said:
"They have sent so many people here, and what they are looking for must be extremely important to them. Let's stay put for now, and just watch them from the dark and act according to the opportunity!"
The three of them had no objections and nodded in agreement.
In this way, the four of them had been hiding in the dark, staring at the two people from the Demon Cult from a short distance.
They stared at each other for five days. Although they never saw their appearance or clothes, it was confirmed from their conversation during the break that these two people were from the Black Flame Palace.
They had no intention of arresting those two people for torture. Through their conversations in the past few days, they already knew that those two people's status in the Black Flame Palace was not high, and what they knew was limited.
At noon that day, a stream of light suddenly flew from another direction and landed directly on where the two people were.
The two people who were searching in the forest immediately stopped their search and ran towards the direction from which the light was flying.
It seems that someone searching elsewhere made a discovery.
The four people following quietly looked at each other and followed the two men without hesitation.
The cultivation level of those two people was not high, and they had not even reached the realm of flying objects. The four of them were not afraid of being discovered by them at all.
Two hours later, there were more and more people in front of them, and finally they all gathered in a forest.
There are dozens of these people who are not weak in cultivation, and Bu Xiaotian and others can feel the powerful aura emanating from them from a distance.
Only people from the Demon Cult can display such aura.
Taoist practice emphasizes conforming to nature, and the essence, energy, and spirit are integrated with the heaven and earth. If you practice successfully, you will not have any special aura even if you stand in front of you, and you may not even feel their presence.
What Buddhist practice emphasizes is to cultivate one breath of inner energy and cut off six roots. When the inner energy is fully developed, the body will be like a diamond. This is the golden body of Buddhism. At first glance, it looks ordinary, but when punched, it looks like a diamond.
Only the people of the Demon Sect practice very domineering methods. They force the energy of heaven and earth into their own bodies, control the heaven and earth with their bodies, and make everything around them surrender to themselves. This is for the sole purpose of being solemn!
Sensing the aura of the master of the Demon Sect, Chu Yungong and others did not dare to be careless and quietly hid outside the forest without moving.
The wind spell was cast again, and the chatter in the forest reached the ears of several people.
"Is everyone here?"
Although this voice is a bit old, it is full of energy and the speaker is obviously a master.
After a while, someone answered respectfully:
"Great Elder, everyone is here."
"Okay, this should be the ruins. Leave a few people to guard outside, and everyone else will follow me in. No one is allowed in until we come out!"
"yes!"
After he finished speaking, there was only a sound of footsteps, which gradually stopped after a while.
Since it was said to be a ruin, it was probably too small, and they probably wouldn't be able to get out for a while. Chu Yungong exchanged glances with the people behind him and decided to go in and explore.
They waited quietly for a moment, and then slowly approached there.
Sneaking closer, a few people saw the scene clearly through the gaps in the dense forest.
What I saw here was a small mountain col. A cave covered by low trees was in the middle of the mountain col. It would be difficult to find it if you didn't search carefully.
At this time, the bushes around the cave were removed, exposing the cave entrance. The dark hole was like a big mouth, as if it could choose people to eat at any time.
There were two demon sect disciples standing near the entrance of the cave. They were both dressed in black, with a cluster of golden-red flames embroidered on their left chests. Judging from their shapes, they should be the core disciples of the Black Flame Palace.
Chu Yungong secretly used his true power, and the long sword "Thunder" behind his back suddenly turned into an almost invisible white light and passed through the two people's throats with lightning speed. The two of them fell to the ground before they could even react. .
Of course, Chu Yungong's sword was not just as simple as cutting their throats. The sword energy on the sword had already turned their brains into paste when it passed through their throats.
Seeing the two men fall, Bu Xiaotian and the others were about to rush out, but were stopped by Chu Yungong.
Seeing that the expression on Chu Yungong's face was not relaxed, they quickly calmed down and stared at the cave entrance quietly.
Sure enough, almost a moment after the two fell to the ground, a voice of shock and anger rang out:
"who?!"
When Bu Xiaotian and others heard this voice, they were shocked, but at the same time they were very lucky. If they had rushed out rashly, they might have died under the sneak attack of the man in the dark.
Chu Yungong's sword light was so fast that the man in the dark didn't even see where the sword light came from. Even though he was extremely frightened and angry at this moment, he couldn't find Chu Yungong's hiding place, and he didn't dare to He showed up rashly, fearing that Chu Yungong would attack again.
Then the atmosphere in the forest became tense.
Chu Yungong didn't make any moves, and Bu Xiaotian and others didn't dare to move.
This silent confrontation lasted for nearly a stick of incense.
Suddenly, Chu Yungong's eyes lit up, he moved the magic formula in his hand, and the long sword behind him turned into four and flew out in four different directions at high speed.
Only a few muffled groans were heard, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and a person's body even fell from the jungle directly above the cave entrance, but there was no sound at this moment.
After all, Chu Yungong is the best among the disciples of Yuxu Sect. He has practiced for many years and has profound cultivation. Even if these people are not low in cultivation, and they are prepared in advance, they cannot escape Chu Yungong's long-awaited attack. kill.
Perhaps they will never figure it out until their death, how on earth they were discovered by Chu Yungong, even though their concealment did not reveal any flaws.
After dealing with these four people, they still did not go out immediately. After waiting for a long time, it was completely dark, no one made a sound, and there was no movement in the cave. They then confirmed that there was no one else around.
Chu Yungong shouted:
"Walk!"
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed directly into the cave.
Bu Xiaotian and others did not dare to fall too far behind, fearing that Chu Yungong would be attacked by surprise, so they rushed in after Chu Yungong.
