After crossing the desert swamp, Gui Li and Hong Yuan's expressions became focused.
"Be careful, pay attention to your surroundings."
The order was absolute, especially given to Gui Li and Hong Yuan who chose to take on the mission.
Both of them had essentially fulfilled their pledges.
Using this as a pretext, they demanded a lot of treasures from their superiors. If they didn't get a satisfactory answer, the higher-ups of the Ghost Spirit Sect wouldn't let them off the hook.
They hadn't gone far when Gui Li's face darkened: "Damn it, Xuan Mo, they're all dead."
Each of the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples who entered this time left behind a Soul Fire Jade Token.
The so-called Soul Fire Jade Tablet is a container into which a cultivator's spiritual energy is injected and stored. When the cultivator dies, the jade tablet is destroyed.
Hong Yuan's lips were taut and straight, her thin lips pressed into a thin line.
"Forget it, let's ignore them."
They're already dead, so there's no point in saying anything more.
Hong Yuan sighed, and no matter how angry she was, she had to force herself to calm down.
The others, unaware of the deaths of Xuanmo and the others, were all beaming with joy.
Taihuang Valley is fraught with danger, but also full of opportunities.
After passing through the first three restrictions, each person's storage bag contained a considerable amount of high-quality spiritual medicine.
Once they leave, whether they refine the medicinal herbs or sell them, they will reap great benefits.
Although the quota is given by the sect, most of the spiritual herbs obtained must be distributed to the sect.
But it is still a very considerable income.
There are also several special restrictions inside Taihuang Valley.
Even though precautions had been taken long ago, without specific protective measures, several disciples still died under the formation.
When Gui Li and Hong Yuan entered the depths of Taihuang Valley, they were left with only twelve disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
But the remaining people were not discouraged; instead, they all looked ecstatic.
The reason is simple: those cultivators who died, their storage bags were still intact.
Those resources were naturally divided among them, which increased everyone's net worth considerably.
Gui Li and Hong Yuan broke through layers of restrictions and finally arrived at the bronze gate.
The bronze stone door has a circular groove, and the inside of the groove is shaped like a pentagon.
Gui Li and Hong Yuan exchanged a glance.
The two patted their storage bags, and red and yellow tokens flew out simultaneously, then merged into one.
It then flew towards the groove in the center of the bronze stone gate.
After the two tokens were inserted into the groove, grooves of varying depths appeared around them.
Several disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect began to feel uneasy.
"To open the door, is something still missing?"
Hong Yuan didn't answer the others; instead, she released a centipede from her beast-taming bag.
A blade of spiritual energy flashed, splitting the centipede in two, and the bright red blood seeped into the groove.
But that wasn't all. Hong Yuan turned to the cultivators and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Draw blood from me, each of you draw out a bowl of blood."
The dozen or so cultivators had doubts, but they still obediently did as instructed.
Gui Li and Hong Yuan were the most powerful and held the highest positions.
If you ask them to die, they certainly won't obey.
But if it's just a matter of bleeding out, then there's no problem.
A dozen or so people obediently gave out bowls of blood.
Hong Yuan used some kind of magic to fuse their blood together.
They then merged into the centipede's blood and flew together into the interior of the bronze stone gate, the blood slowly flowing through the grooves.
The cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect could only wait quietly.
On the outskirts of Taihuang Valley, Liu Chen found a cave anywhere.
He also set up an array outside and activated the Eternal Demonic Fiend Technique to improve his cultivation.
Master Tianxuan and Hua Yao would occasionally offer a few words of advice.
The group tacitly refrained from mentioning the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators within Taihuang Valley.
But Chen Ran, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up and reminded him, "Brother Chen, wouldn't it be a bad idea to attack the Ghost Spirit Sect rashly?"
Although the questions raised earlier seemed meaningless to them.
But she could never keep this to herself.
Liu Chen glanced at her, signaling her to continue.
Chen Ran mustered his courage and spoke his opinion: "According to what Senior Tianxuan said the day before yesterday, the Ghost Spirit Sect is divided into two different organizations."
That means the person behind the attack on Blue Star might be the Ghost Spirit Sect, or it might be the new Ghost Spirit Sect that defected a thousand years ago.
If we're still unsure of who the enemy is, wouldn't rashly attacking the Ghost Spirit Sect invite another powerful foe?
What if the person behind it all is a member of the New Ghost Spirit Sect?
By attacking the Ghost Spirit Sect for no reason, they have offended both sides.
Chen Ran's words are not without reason.
But Master Tianxuan's words immediately dispelled his concerns: "Little girl, you still don't understand. Whether he is a member of the Ghost Spirit Sect or the Ghost Spirit Sect founded by that traitor, as long as he provokes one of them, he will inevitably become an enemy of both."
Cultivators in the cultivation world are different from those with superpowers on Earth.
Especially for sects that share a common origin, their cultivation methods and key techniques are almost identical.
Therefore, there are many intricate connections involved, and it is not simply a matter of defection that can be dismissed with just two words.
It doesn't matter how much they argue about their own internal conflicts.
However, if an outsider attacks the Ghost Spirit Sect, both sides will inevitably unite against the common enemy.
"Of course, what I say may not be correct, but it is probably very close to the truth."
He had previously considered that perhaps the person who defected had truly severed all ties with the Ghost Spirit Sect.
After all, he hadn't lived in the cultivation world for 100,000 years and didn't understand the state of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
