Chapter 114: Soul Palace Secret (Part 2)
Just when Xingbai was feeling a little frustrated, suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a detail on the woman's dressing table.
I saw a faint dark pattern carved on the corner of the dressing table. This dark pattern was very inconspicuous and could hardly be noticed if I didn't pay special attention.
When Xingbai got closer to smell it, he could still smell a faint smell of blood.
This discovery cheered him up and he immediately concentrated his attention to carefully examine the dark pattern.
After some careful research, Xingbai finally determined the mystery behind the dark patterns.
After figuring out the location, he didn't dare stay any longer for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. He quietly left the room and disappeared like a ghost.
"Xingbai, have you found anything?" Gu Shihan's voice came clearly through the sound transmission note.
"Hanhan, there is a major discovery! The people in the Soul Palace are so crazy that they actually captured monks to raise and grow Gu.
Once a cultivator is infected with a poisonous insect, the infected person will completely obey the instructions of the poison's owner.
Nowadays, many Gu masters have appeared in the world of immortal cultivation, and some of these Gu masters have infiltrated into various families and sects.
God knows what their ulterior motives are." Xing Bai said anxiously.
"So that's the case! Then we must not keep this poisonous insect, otherwise there will be endless troubles. But there are only my brother and I, and we are probably outnumbered. What should we do?" Gu Shihan frowned and said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Hanhan. I have investigated carefully. There is only one Palace Master in the Nascent Soul Stage in the Soul Palace. The cultivation bases of the others are not very high.
The number of people in the Jindan stage and the foundation-building stage added up to only a hundred or so, while the number of cultivators in the Qi Refining stage is quite large.
In my opinion, we may not be too outnumbered. Don't forget, the flames possessed by Yutong and Longteng are feared by these demon cultivators, and your Red Lotus Karma Fire, Hanhan, can also cause a fatal blow to them, and is a natural nemesis.
Besides, your eldest brother's fire spirit root strength should not be underestimated, it is just right for dealing with these monsters." Xing Bai analyzed the situation in an orderly manner.
"Well, what you said makes sense. We have to act quietly and make sure no one notices. We try to catch them in one fell swoop and catch them all in one fell swoop! I will go and discuss this with my eldest brother right away. This matter cannot be delayed and we have to act tonight!"
Gu Shihan nodded solemnly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
Xing Bai responded, "Okay, don't worry. Give me some time, I will find out the location of their breeding base as soon as possible. This is the key to the key!"
Night fell quietly, like a huge black curtain covering the entire Moke City.
The shops that were once bustling on the street have now closed their doors and stopped business; the residents have also hidden in their homes, as if they were afraid of being swallowed by the darkness.
Looking around, the entire street was empty, with only a few lanterns emitting faint green light, like ghost lights, hanging on the street, swaying in the cold wind, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere.
Apart from these flickering lights, the rest of the place was pitch black, with no visibility of one's hand in front of one's face.
"Little sister, look at this Moke City. I always feel that there is an evil spirit about it. What should we do next?" Shi Qinghan stared at the dark street, frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Gu Shihan beside him with a worried look on his face, and asked softly.
Gu Shihan had a calm face, and he scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes. He replied calmly: "Don't act rashly. Wait patiently for news from Xingbai!"
At this moment, Shi Qinghan suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Oh! Look over there, there seems to be something going on!"
He pointed to the end of the street in the distance. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a few lanterns that looked like ghost lights moving slowly forward, accompanied by a crisp tinkling sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
Shi Qinghan's spiritual consciousness quietly spread forward.
When it touched the group of figures, Shi Qinghan was shocked. He saw ten Soul Palace demon cultivators escorting hundreds of cultivators slowly out of the Soul Palace.
These monks all looked listless and haggard, as if they had suffered great torture and suffering.
Watching the movements of this group of people, Shi Qinghan couldn't help but wonder to himself: "Where are they going with these monks?"
Just when he was full of doubts, Gu Shihan beside him suddenly felt a breeze blowing, and the snow-white little fox, Xingbai, jumped lightly onto her shoulder.
Xing Bai blinked her big watery eyes and said softly, "Hanhan, hurry up and follow them. I guess these guys are going to the place where Gu are raised."
Hearing this, Gu Shihan and Shi Qinghan looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
Without hesitation, the two took out two invisibility talismans and stuck them on themselves.
In an instant, their figures became blurred, as if they had merged into the surrounding environment.
They followed the group of Soul Palace people carefully from a distance, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Time passed by minute by minute. About two hours later, Gu Shihan, Shi Qinghan and Xing Bai finally saw the people from the Soul Palace stopped in a desolate land.
In the middle of this desolate land stood an enormous stone tablet, on which were carved three characters in vigorous and powerful strokes: "Black Wind Cliff".
"Black Wind Cliff?!" Shi Qinghan couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, his face full of disbelief.
There was also a gleam of surprise and doubt in Gu Shihan's eyes, as if he couldn't believe that what he saw before him was actually the location of their mission.
The two looked at each other and read deep vigilance and alertness in each other's eyes.
After all, the Black Wind Cliff that suddenly appeared in front of them was too mysterious and unpredictable, forcing people to deal with it with caution.
They carefully followed the black-robed man from the Soul Palace in front of them and moved forward slowly, taking every step with extreme caution.
After passing a huge and ancient stone tablet, the bottom of a cliff emitting a strong black aura finally appeared before their eyes.
I saw that the bottom of the cliff was shrouded in thick black fog, like an endless dark abyss.
Occasionally, a few green ghost lights would float by, adding a sense of eeriness and horror to this strange scene.
Looking at the steep cliff, there are countless deep and cold caves densely distributed.
These caves vary in size, some can only accommodate one person, while others are as spacious as palaces. A rough count shows that there are more than a hundred of them.
