Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Hehehe!
Yun Miao wasn't as patient as Shui Furong. She raised her sword and pointed it at the NPC in the cell. "I'll get you out, but not now."
The excited monks in the cell finally calmed down, and the disheveled woman told everything she knew in a hoarse voice, while others added some more after she finished speaking.
The Yun family's cloud yarn business is spread all over Yunzhou, and the Yun family uses these invisible hands to secretly capture and abduct low-level cultivators from all over Yunzhou, and then secretly transport the captured low-level cultivators to the Yun family's old house to feed the heavenly silkworms.
This entire underground prison is connected to the nests of the Celestial Silkworms. Because Celestial Silkworms dislike light, this place is completely dark. Every now and then, the Celestial Silkworms would crawl out of their nests to suck the blood of the monks. Rather than a prison cell, it's more like a feeding trough for the Celestial Silkworms.
This is also the reason why these monks have sallow complexions and haggard appearances. Fortunately, monks have strong vitality and few die from excessive blood loss. But apart from that, the Yun family will send people down every three months to take away most of the monks in the cell.
No one knew where those people were taken, they only knew that they never came back.
Shui Furong looked thoughtful as she turned her head to look at the female cultivator in white again. She was about to ask her opinion, but she saw that the female cultivator in white suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and then reappeared in a cramped cell, stabbing a thin, dark male cultivator in the center of his eyebrows with a sword.
The other person's eyes widened, and he seemed not to have reacted to what had happened. Then he stopped breathing and his body fell backwards.
The other people in the cell screamed and immediately looked at her in panic, trying to hide backwards.
Shui Furong was surprised at first, then she looked at the corpse again: "Why did you suddenly attack? Is there something wrong with him?"
Yun Miao didn't answer immediately. Instead, she used the Five Elements Escape Technique again, passing through the formation and entering several other cells, killing three people in a row. When all four bodies were lying on the ground, she said, "These people have murderous intentions towards me."
Although she didn't quite understand why these people wanted to kill her, her player instinct told her that she had to get rid of these red-named monsters.
The disheveled woman suddenly squatted down and carefully examined the male corpse in her cell. Then, with a look of astonishment, she suddenly pulled off the soul-locking ring on the male corpse's hand.
The monks all had sharp ears and eyes. The monks in the opposite cells saw the scene clearly with the help of the light of the night pearl.
Several people subconsciously tried to break free from the soul-locking rings that bound them, but just like they had tried countless times before, the soul-locking rings were tightly fastened to their wrists and ankles and could not be easily taken off.
The smart man's pupils shrank, and he immediately exclaimed: "This Soul Locking Ring is fake!"
Shui Furong has been in the world of cultivation for so many years and has far more experience than Yun Miao, so she reacted immediately after a little thought.
"Oh no! These people weren't captured, but were deliberately planted here by the Yun family as guards. Thanks to you for killing them in time, we prevented them from spreading the news. But the Yun family probably set up soul lanterns on these people. When they die, the lanterns will go out. I'm afraid the news of our intrusion won't be hidden for much longer. The Yun family will be here at any time."
The other people in the cell suddenly panicked, but Yun Miao remained calm and turned around to go deeper into the prison.
"Then let them come. It saves me from having to go look for them one by one."
She had originally planned to challenge the entire Yun family alone, but now with a sword immortal at the seventh level of the Void Refinement Stage by her side, she had nothing to fear.
Seeing this, Shui Furong quickly followed and told Yun Miao about a major case she had uncovered in Danzhou before, in which a noble family secretly arrested low-level cultivators.
It was because she discovered that the Yun family's forces stationed in Danzhou had been secretly helping that family to transfer the captured monks that she tracked them all the way to Yunzhou.
It was obvious that her previous guess was correct. The Yun family was indeed involved in this matter and was in collusion with the evil cultivators.
"The only one capable of reaching into Yunzhou is the Demon Cult. The Yun family wants to feed the Heavenly Silkworms with the blood of the cultivators, while the Demon Cult wants humans."
Shui Furong frowned in disgust: "Those evil demons love to use humans as materials to refine things like the Thousand Corpse Platform and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."
There was just one thing she couldn't figure out. The Demon Cult leader Yan Hai had been hiding in the Demon Cult Temple in Yuanzhou all these years. He didn't dare and couldn't leave Yuanzhou at all. So the Mahayana monster who was chasing her that day definitely couldn't be Yan Hai.
But apart from this, where did the Demon Cult get its second Mahayana stage?
Yun Miao naturally didn't know who the Mahayana-level monster was that was hunting Shui Furong, so she didn't answer Shui Furong's question. She just asked, "Besides these, what other clues have you found?"
Shui Furong mistakenly thought that the female cultivator in white was reminding her of something, so she thought hard for a long time and finally found a clue from her memory that was not really a clue.
"Back then, when I pressed the head of that family to explain why he had colluded with the demonic cult and committed such a sin, he had sworn an oath to the heavens, so he couldn't reveal the truth. He only said that he wanted his entire clan to ascend to immortality and achieve immortality."
Ascending to become an immortal and achieving immortality are the most mainstream pursuits in the world of cultivation. Most cultivators like to talk about this. Shui Furong thought that the head of the family was talking about exchanging more resources from the Demon Cult so that he could lead the entire clan to a higher level.
Yun Miao's player radar suddenly activated: "Cult of Immortality."
After what happened with Xinyi and Futu, she still had a fresh memory of the Changsheng Sect, so when she heard about becoming an immortal and living forever, she immediately thought of the Changsheng Sect.
"The Immortal Sect? I've never heard of this sect."
Shui Furong keenly caught the murmur of the female cultivator in white. She had a hunch that the Changsheng Sect was not simple. Could it be that the female cultivator in white did not come for the Yun family that was in collusion with the Demon Sect, but for the Changsheng Sect? Then what role did the Changsheng Sect play in this incident?
However, just when Shui Furong wanted to ask a few more questions, the female cultivator in white, who was so fast that she was leaving an afterimage, suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Shui Furong also stopped immediately and looked forward.
It was a huge dark room. Like the prison before, there was no light at all. It was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. The light from the night pearl could only illuminate a corner of the dark room.
Countless dry bones piled up into a high hill. One had to look up hard to see the top. Some of the bones were covered with dry and dull fur, and they looked as if they had just died not long ago and were still very fresh.
The fur on some of the dead bones has rotted into mud, while some of the dead bones have turned yellow and decayed, and are pressed at the bottom of the mountain of bones. It is obvious at a glance that they have been dead for a long time.
Because the bones are well preserved, it can be seen from their shapes that most of them belong to animals, and only a few are human bones.
Some fat white worms as thick as fingers were wriggling on the bone mountain, while others were curled up inside the corpse to rest. Stimulated by the light of the night pearl, they subconsciously shrank deeper into the corpse.
When Shui Furong looked over for the first time, her eyes met those of one of the hideous black bear skulls.
All its flesh and blood had disappeared, and its dirty fur was tightly attached to its skull. Those fat white worms were curled up in balls inside its skull, wriggling in and out of its dark eye sockets, making people instantly think of words like death, decay, and maggots.
Shui Furong was disgusted at first, and then she realized that these maggot-like things were the legendary celestial silkworms that could spit out cloud silk. She recalled that she had also bought robes made of cloud gauze, and suddenly she felt as if there were bugs crawling all over her body, and she wished she could jump into the water and take a good bath.
Yun Miao was also disgusted by this scene. She cursed in her heart, since this crappy game can blur out corpses, why doesn't it blur out this kind of scene? This is too disgusting. She doesn't need to eat tonight, either in the game or in reality!
As if he had heard her thoughts, the picture in front of her eyes suddenly had a layer of mosaic, covering up everything she didn't want to see.
Yun Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, the celestial silkworms, having sensed the scent of flesh and blood, also began to become restless. Although they hated light, the scent of flesh and blood on Yun Miao and Shui Furong was so sweet that it aroused their appetite.
The silkworms that had originally retreated into the corpse squirmed out, their upper bodies straightened up, and swayed from side to side, as if looking for the source of the breath. The next moment, dozens of the nearest silkworms immediately shot out and smashed towards Yun Miao and Shui Furong at the door.
Yun Miao immediately raised his sword, and the scorching sword light quickly cut the dozens of silkworms in half, and the insect corpses fell to the ground like rain.
She originally thought that the silkworms in the game would be as cute as the silkworms she had seen as a child, and she even wanted to catch the silkworms and raise them for fun. However, she didn't expect that the silkworms looked so ugly, they were simply enlarged versions of maggots. She changed her mind and decided to kill all these disgusting things.
Shui Furong noticed that these silkworms secreted a transparent liquid with a fishy smell on their body surface, and immediately guessed that the silkworms were poisonous, and reminded Yun Miao not to let them get close to her.
However, before she could finish her words, a roar suddenly rang out: "Who dares to act wildly in my Yun family!"
An old man in a gray robe appeared behind Yun Miao at an extremely fast speed, raised his hand and hit her on the back. Shui Furong immediately dodged and blocked the attack for Yun Miao, looking at the old man in the gray robe coldly.
"Ancestor of the Yun family."
The gray-robed old man did not know Yun Miao, but recognized Shui Furong at the first moment. He sneered and raised his palm to attack Shui Furong.
"Sword Fairy Shui Furong, it's you again. You really are still harboring evil intentions."
Shui Furong immediately raised her hand to fight back, and questioned why the ancestor of the Yun family fed the heavenly silkworm with the flesh and blood of cultivators, and why he colluded with the Demon Sect. What exactly did the Yun family want to do by capturing so many cultivators?
The Yun family ancestor naturally wouldn't tell her the truth, but only threatened her with a sinister look: "Shui Furong, you should know that people who like to meddle in other people's affairs don't live long."
Shui Furong was about to say that she didn't care, but Yun Miao stabbed a sword at the Yun family ancestor's eyebrows, not wanting to listen to the Yun family ancestor's nonsense at all.
The three of them started fighting in this narrow passage, because this passage was connected to the nest of the silkworm. Batches of silkworms were ejected and fell like raindrops.
I don’t know what method the ancestor of the Yun family used, but Tiancan took the initiative to avoid him and went straight towards Yun Miao and Shui Furong.
Shui Furong had no sword in her hand, and her strength was reduced by 30% compared to before. In addition, she could not use her spiritual sense to scan the surrounding situation, and had to avoid these highly poisonous silkworms, so her attack on the ancestor of the Yun family could not help but weakened.
The ancestor of the Yun family sneered in his heart, and the killing moves in his hands became more and more fierce. He shouted that he must take Shui Furong's life here today. Unfortunately, he forgot that Shui Furong was not the only one here.
Yun Miao was also dodging at the beginning. She was not afraid of the poison of the Tiancan, but just didn't want to be touched by this disgusting insect. But seeing that the ancestor of the Yun family was so arrogant and didn't take her seriously at all.
She stopped dodging and charged towards the Yun family's ancestor with her sword, letting the heavenly silkworms fall on her.
Over a thousand points of poison resistance were enough to make her immune to most of the toxins in the cultivation world. Although the Celestial Silkworm, a renowned spiritual creature from ancient times, was extremely toxic, and she wasn't completely immune to their toxins, this amount of poison would only slowly reduce her health by -1, a negligible amount compared to her 9 million health bar.
The Yun Family Patriarch looked shocked and asked the same incredulous question as the Poison Lady had before: "You've clearly been poisoned by the Heavenly Silkworm, how could you be okay?"
"Because I am immune to all poisons."
As soon as Yun Miao finished speaking, he pierced the shoulder of the Yun family ancestor with a sword.
Shui Furong immediately seized the opportunity and struck out with a palm strike. The Yun family ancestor had no time to defend himself and could only stretch out his hand and was forced to fight back with Shui Furong.
In an instant, the two powerful forces collided with each other, and violent waves spread out in the surroundings. Although the Yun family's underground secret room was also built with dark stone bricks, both the materials and the formation were far inferior to the underground ruins that Yun Miao had seen before.
There was a loud rumbling sound, smoke and dust rose up, and the tunnel collapsed directly, and the skylight shone in through the cracks in the ground. The ancestor of the Yun family, who was seriously injured and vomiting blood, immediately took the opportunity to fly out.
Yun Miao and Shui Furong naturally wouldn't let him get away, and immediately chased after him. As soon as they flew out, they were surrounded by the Yun family, with the Yun family's head, elders, and others standing in the front.
The ancestor of the Yun family swallowed the blood rushing up his throat and shouted at everyone: "Follow me to kill them. We must not let them leave alive, otherwise our Yun family will be finished!"
Those who can live in the Yun family's old house are all core members of the Yun family. They all know more or less about what the Yun family has been doing behind the scenes. Everyone's face changed and they realized the seriousness of the matter.
Although some of the Yun family's servants and retainers didn't quite understand what was going on, they had been in cahoots with the Yun family for so long, and had enjoyed many benefits from relying on the Yun family's support. Naturally, they didn't want the Yun family to fall. So, at the command of the Yun family patriarch, everyone immediately and tacitly surrounded Yun Miao and Shui Furong.
The powerful ones in the family who were in the Spirit Transformation Stage and the Out-of-Body Stage stood in the front, responsible for directly fighting with Yun Miao and Shui Furong, and all their attacks were killing moves, while the cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage and the Golden Core Stage were scattered around the periphery of the battlefield, mainly harassing and launching surprise attacks.
As for the low-level cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages, since their cultivation was too low to help, they were responsible for sending messages to mobilize nearby clansmen to come back and provide support immediately.
After all, it was a home battle, and the Yun family had a great advantage. The ancestor of the Yun family directly ordered people to open the treasure house and take out all the usable elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons. It was obvious that he planned to use a war of attrition and wear down Yun Miao and Shui Furong.
While fighting back, Shui Furong took the time to ask Yun Miao whether they wanted to retreat. As the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant. What's more, they have a large number of elixirs and talismans to support them. The foundation accumulated by the aristocratic families over the years is not something the two of them can compare to. If they continue fighting, the situation will be bad for them.
Yun Miao frowned upon hearing this and glanced at Shui Furong: "Aren't you a sword immortal? How come you are so weak-minded? Your strength isn't as strong as others say."
She felt deeply deceived. This was the strength of a seventh-level Void Refinement Stage cultivator? This was too bad, right? Bad review!
"Forget it. If you want to run, go ahead. I can do it on my own."
Yun Miao originally wanted to get to the Yun family by himself, so he didn't need Shui Furong's help so urgently.
"If you don't have elixirs, I'll steal theirs. If you don't have talismans, I'll steal theirs. If you don't have all kinds of magic weapons, then I won't have any. I have a sword that can break all magic. There are only two possibilities today. One is that I kill the entire Yun family, and the other is that they kill me!"
Then she goes back to fight back. Anyway, since she is here, the stubborn player will never admit defeat!
Her words were so powerful that not only did Shui Furong freeze in amazement, but they also frightened the besieged Yun family members. They looked at the surrounded female cultivator in white with fear.
There was no fear in her eyes, only a strong fighting spirit. Her figure holding a long sword appeared and disappeared in the siege. Every time the sword flashed, blood splattered.
Her clothes were not cassocks and had no defensive or self-cleaning functions. As she said, all she had was a sword in her hand, so blood dyed her white hair and her white clothes red.
There was the blood of the Yun family and her own blood on it, but she seemed to feel no pain. She did not show any pain and did not pause. Even under such a dazzling siege, each of her attacks was still accurately targeted at the enemy's fatal weaknesses, without any deviation or mistake.
If the Yun family had not been so large, and the ancestor, the head of the family, and several elders had not been rescuing each other, the number of members would have been reduced by now.
The Yun Family Patriarch realized his misjudgment and noticed that his clansmen were frightened by the other party. He immediately shouted, "Deal with the one in white first. She is only at the Spiritual Transformation stage like me. As long as we work together, we can kill her quickly!"
Everyone in the Yun family: "Yes!"
The Yun family's momentum immediately rose, but Yun Miao was not afraid at all. After all, who would be afraid of a few red-name monsters in the game?
Shui Furong looked at the arrogant and unrestrained back of the female cultivator in white, and a complex look rose in her eyes. She gripped the hilt of the sword at her waist and then released it, then raised her hand and mobilized her spiritual power to go forward to help.
*
Just as Shui Furong said, the situation was not good for them, but Yun Miao also strictly followed her own words. If there were no pills, she would rob them. If there were no talismans, she would rob them. When she performed the Five Elements Escape Technique, the Yun family could not find her trace at all.
For example, the Yun family's ancestor, the head of the family, the elders and other strong men could barely dodge when she suddenly appeared and attacked, but other Yun family cultivators did not have this ability. Yun Miao would turn into a breeze and rush over to whoever took out the elixir, then snatch the other person's elixir with one hand and put it in her mouth, and with the other hand, she would swing her sword and behead them directly.
If the Yun family's ancestor and others did not react in time and continued to rush over to besiege her, she would take the opportunity to take the man's storage bag and search for more usable pills and talismans from it.
The main feature is that she uses the Yun family's resources to replenish herself, and coupled with the player's incredible blood recovery mechanism and speed, after a siege, the blood she loses is not as much as the blood she recovers.
During this period, a clever member of the Yun family gambled his life and deliberately used a poison pill to deceive Yun Miao. Yun Miao did not realize that it was a poison pill at that time. As usual, he stuffed the pill into his mouth and swung his sword to behead the man.
When the man's head fell to the ground, the female cultivator in white swallowed the highly toxic poison pill into her stomach. That scene seemed extremely tragic to the Yun family.
However, just as they were eagerly waiting for the white-robed female cultivator to die from the poison, and even planning how to worship the tribesman who gambled his life as a hero, they saw the white-robed female cultivator comment as if nothing had happened: "This pill tastes quite good, sweet but not greasy."
After saying this, she raised her sword again and happily went to chop people, showing no sign of being poisoned.
The Yun family's hopes were dashed, and they looked at the female cultivator in white with horror, shock, and even deeper fear and dread.
As more and more people died, the ground was covered with the bodies of the Yun family. The Yun family's momentum plummeted. When Shui Furong restrained the Yun family head, and Yun Miao took the opportunity to use the Five Elements Escape Technique to sneak attack and kill him with a sword, someone finally couldn't bear the fear in his heart, screamed and turned to flee.
However, before the Yun family ancestor could scold the traitor, the female cultivator in white swung her sword and killed the Yun family member who wanted to fly out of the old house.
"I told you, there are only two possible outcomes today. One is that I kill the entire Yun family, and the other is that you kill me. No one can escape."
The cold words of the female cultivator in white made the Yun family members look despair.
The ancestor of the Yun family roared to the sky in grief and indignation: "Alright, alright, since you are so cruel and unwilling to leave my Yun family with even a shred of life, then I will not show mercy. Today, my Yun family will perish along with you!"
As he spoke, he made hand gestures, and the entire Yun family mansion shook, as if the previously dormant old house was waking up. The invisible barrier that had been covering the old house began to flash white light, and in an instant, countless rays of light shot towards Yun Miao and Shui Furong.
The rest of the Yun family members all showed surprise and joy: "It's the clan protection formation!"
"Yes, we still have a clan protection formation!"
"Fight them!"
These people thought that the ancestor's words about dying together were just angry words, but the remaining elders' faces changed drastically, and they shouted in fear: "Ancestor, you can't do this!"
"Ancestor, the clan protection formation is suppressing those... Please calm down, and let us stop them. Ancestor, please leave quickly. As long as you are alive, our Yun family will surely make a comeback!"
"Yes, ancestor, you must not act on impulse!"
The Yun Family Patriarch's expression was both sad and sinister. "With such a big commotion today, those secrets can no longer be kept. If the truth is revealed, even if I escape now, where can I escape to later? It would be better to perish together and take two people with me before I die. Having a Sword Immortal buried with me wouldn't be a loss!"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: The ancestor of the Yun family roared to the sky in grief and anger: "Female cultivator in white, you are going too far! Don't underestimate the bond of our family, you bastard!"
Yun Miao: ??? Is this correct?
