Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
"You don't know about the Nine Ghosts Gate?" Li Kuang asked in return.
“I’ve never heard of the Nine Ghosts Sect,” Ye Feng nodded.
Li Kuang looked at Ye Feng suspiciously for a moment before saying, "The Nine Ghosts Sect is one of the three great demonic sects. The other two demonic sects are the Blood Demon Sect and the White Bone Sect."
"Tell me in detail. I haven't been a member of the Xuanji Sect for very long, and I really don't know anything about the Demonic Sect," Ye Feng said sincerely.
Li Kuang then began to explain in detail.
It turns out that more than a thousand years ago, a new sect suddenly appeared in the Tianluo Great World, called the Demon Sect.
The cultivators of this sect are extremely cruel and bloodthirsty, increasing their cultivation level by hunting and devouring other martial artists.
At first, the other sects in the Tianluo Great World retreated step by step, but later several major sects joined forces to wipe out the Demonic Sect.
However, although the demonic sect was wiped out, not all those who practiced demonic arts were killed.
A portion of the remaining disciples of the Demonic Sect survived, hiding and eking out a living. During this process, the remnants of the Demonic Sect split into three factions.
One school of thought believes that the essence of a martial artist is concentrated in the bones of the entire body, so flesh and blood are unimportant, and bones are the most important.
Therefore, when this faction of demonic martial artists hunts down other martial artists, they only take the bones from their bodies.
This faction evolved into the White Bone Sect.
The second faction believes that the essence of a martial artist is concentrated in their flesh and blood, making the flesh and blood the most important part.
When this faction of demonic warriors hunts down other warriors, they often only take their flesh and blood.
This faction then evolved into the Blood Demon Sect.
The last faction of demonic warriors insisted on tradition, demanding both bones and flesh.
This faction is the Nine Ghosts Gate.
Lin Wuchang and the female warrior in front of him were reduced to mere skins; their bones and flesh had vanished completely, clearly having been devoured by the person hiding behind the scenes.
If that's the case, then that person is very likely a member of the Nine Ghosts Sect!
Li Kuang said, "Nine times out of ten, a member of the Nine Ghosts Sect has infiltrated this secret realm. He hunts and devours the bones and flesh of martial artists, leaving only a human skin behind."
"And he must have been very good at hiding, so I never found out where that person was hiding or what his background was."
Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "This person is probably not from a major sect."
"Why do you say that?" Li Kuang asked in return.
“People from major sects all have excellent cultivation methods, so why do they still need to cultivate demonic arts? Although demonic arts allow for rapid progress, they must have many drawbacks,” Ye Feng said seriously.
"Hehe, you probably don't know, but three years ago your Xuanji Sect produced someone who practiced demonic arts, and that person practiced the Blood Demon Sect's Blood-Sucking Technique!" Li Kuang said sarcastically.
“Really? Why have I never heard of this before?” Night Wind said.
"After such a disgraceful incident, the elders of your chosen sects will definitely control the news to prevent leaks and tarnish the sect's reputation!" Li Kuang said disdainfully.
Night Wind frowned deeply, but just then another scream rang out.
Ye Feng hurriedly led Lu Yao in that direction, and Li Kuangye immediately followed.
The three of them had just arrived here when they discovered several human skins scattered around!
"Chen Gaolei, Li Jiangfeng, Bai Yuruo..."
Li Kuang recognized the identities of these people in human skin, and his expression turned quite ugly!
“Chen Gaolei and Li Jiangfeng were at the early stage of the True Yuan Realm, while Bai Yuruo was at the peak of the True Yuan Realm! All three of them died at the hands of the Nine Ghosts Sect warriors, which means that the Nine Ghosts Sect warriors were at least at the Divine Travel Realm!” Li Kuang said, his face turning somewhat pale.
I wasn't afraid of the night breeze.
Let alone the Divine Travel Realm, it doesn't matter if they come to the Transcendent Realm or the Saint Realm.
When pushed to the limit, he unleashed the Blazing Heaven Wheel, a magical weapon that even a living saint at the Saint Realm could not defeat!
"I can't stay here any longer. If the opponent is a True Yuan Realm martial artist, I can still fight, but if the opponent is a Divine Travel Realm martial artist, how can I fight? If I encounter them, it's a dead end!"
Li Kuang was about to leave when a voice suddenly came from the air.
"Junior brother!"
Ye Feng, Li Kuang, and Lu Yao looked up and immediately saw a young man dressed in black falling from the sky.
Who else could this person be but Chang Qingyue, a true disciple of the Xuanji Sect!
"Senior brother, I've finally found you," Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Are you alright?" Chang Qingyue asked.
“Very good,” Night Breeze nodded.
Seeing Li Kuang looking at Chang Qingyue with a wary expression, Ye Feng immediately said, "Li Kuang, don't misunderstand. He is my senior brother Chang Qingyue, a true disciple of our Xuanji Sect. Moreover, he is currently at the peak of the True Essence Realm, not the Divine Travel Realm."
Hearing Ye Feng say that, Li Kuang's expression finally improved a little.
Chang Qingyue smiled and said, "So it's you, Li Kuang, the Wind Shadow Blade."
"Is Li Kuang very famous?" Ye Feng asked.
“He’s quite well-known in Tai Xuan City. Ever since he obtained an eighth-grade spiritual weapon, the Wind Shadow Blade, he’s been challenging people everywhere, so there are quite a few people in Tai Xuan City who know him,” Chang Qingyue explained.
"I see," Night Wind nodded.
Chang Qingyue then said, "You're investigating cannibals? I'm also tracking down the demonic sect members who killed these martial artists. That bastard committed so many crimes; it's outrageous!"
“Senior brother, that demonic sect member is probably a Divine Travel Realm martial artist. We may not be his match,” Ye Feng said.
“I know, but you don’t need to worry too much. Demonic arts have weaknesses, and I happen to know them,” Chang Qingyue said with a smile.
Just as Ye Feng was about to press for details about the weaknesses of the demonic art, Chang Qingyue had already looked at Lu Yao.
"Junior brother, why is Lu Yao from the Hunyuan Sect with you?" Chang Qingyue asked, her eyes narrowing slightly, and a hint of killing intent emanating from her.
Lu Yao was immediately terrified and turned pale. She quickly hid behind Ye Feng and grabbed his arm tightly.
Ye Feng said, "Senior brother, don't be so murderous. Lu Yao lost her memory after being attacked. Her current understanding is no different from that of a child."
"Amnesia? Is that even possible?" Chang Qingyue looked puzzled.
But then Chang Qingyue shook her head and said, "Since she has lost her memory, I will not settle accounts with her for now, and wait until she regains her memory."
"Senior brother is very generous," Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Junior brother, let's go. I estimate we're not far from the end of the secret realm. There might be some good things waiting for us there." After saying that, Chang Qingyue strode towards the depths of the secret realm.
Ye Feng immediately led Lu Yao to follow.
Lu Yao glanced at Chang Qingyue fearfully and whispered, "Brother Ye Feng, I'm so scared."
