Chapter 352 The News Brought Back by Qi Xiao
“Boom!”
Three figures, two men and one woman, riding three majestic and exotic beasts, appeared on top of a low hill in the Qiubei Plain.
Under the starry sky, the field covered with three feet of snow was glowing with an enchanting glow.
The densely packed tombstones were like chopsticks stuck in the ground, with only a short section showing. All the grave mounds were no longer so scary, as they were covered with a thick coat of white snow.
Zuoqiu Hongting is in the center, wearing a loose green Taoist robe, her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, her skin is flawless white, her eyes are like stars and lightning, and she holds a magical folding fan in her hand. She is extremely beautiful, and her temperament is free and heroic.
“Swish!”
"Zuoqiu Qingting" flew out from her sleeve and went to investigate in the night.
Cangli on her left looked into the distance and said, "We are in front of us! Ever since the earthquake, the evil cult has become more active. It seems that the old ancestor of Zuoqiu Menting was right. There must be another entrance to the underground immortal palace. The evil cult's headquarters is likely to be down there."
Zuoqiu Hongting said: "There is another voice! The entrance to the underground immortal palace was blasted out by Qilin Zang. Many old-generation masters believe that the statement of the cult headquarters is a false illusion deliberately created by someone. The real purpose is to trap and kill a steady stream of human masters inside. Just like Tang Wanzhou and that person!"
She sighed in the cold wind.
"It's been a whole year! After the earthquake, everyone evacuated, but there has been no news of him since."
Yin Jiu was on the other side. His broken arm was reshaped and the new arm was covered with golden dragon scales. It was the arm of a giant in the immortal realm of a deformed human race that was reattached to his by the abbot of Du'e Temple. The new arm possessed extremely domineering power.
Cangli sighed, "With his talent, how could he be willing to stop at the Dao Seed Realm? He must want to enter the underground immortal palace to seek for a chance to defy fate. If I were him, I would fight to the death. Even if I die underground, at least I will have no regrets."
Yin Er swooped down from the sky on a black strange bird that was seven or eight meters long.
When he was still ten feet away from the ground, he used his body skills to land first.
He walked quickly towards Yin Jiu with an anxious look on his face.
Yin Er did not go through the exclusive channel of the Hidden Gate, but came to see him overnight, which shows that something earth-shattering must have happened. Yin Jiu quickly jumped off the beast mount and went to meet him.
"The Hidden God Order has appeared!"
Yin Er took out the letter he had just received from his arms and handed it over. Seeing Zuoqiu Hongting and Cangli were beside him, he used his spiritual energy to transmit his voice.
Yin Jiu was startled at first, then quickly unfolded the letter: "The secret mark is correct, and the token mark is also true."
"The runes on the seal of the letter are the secret runes of the Hidden Sect. The letter was sent urgently from Nanyan Pass over a thousand miles, which shows that the situation has become extremely serious and unimaginable." Yin Erdao said.
Yin Jiu frowned and asked, "Have you contacted Yin Jun?"
"The whereabouts of Lord Yin are secret. We must first send a message back to Jiuli Insect Valley and then find him through the Yinren elders. It will take too much time to go back and forth." Yin Er said.
Zuoqiu Hongting and Cangli both realized that the person who came must be an important figure from the Jiuli Hidden Sect.
Cangli asked, "Jiufu, what happened?"
Yin Jiu pondered for a moment and felt that there was no need to hide in front of the two of them. He could only discuss with them, so he handed over the letter: "He showed up!"
The two read the contents of the letter.
Zuoqiu Hongting's eyes sparkled: "Is this fake?"
"Everything matches. No matter what, I must set off immediately to Lingxiao City to confirm." Yin Jiu said.
Zuoqiu Hongting said: "Don't worry, there are still ten days until the first day of the twelfth lunar month. We should first think clearly about the purpose of him summoning a large number of masters to Lingxiao City. Qingting is back and seems to have discovered something."
Forty miles away.
Qi Xiao climbed out of a big river, exhausted. He fell beside the water full of broken ice, gasping for breath.
Dozens of wounds on his body continued to bleed.
Shortly after leaving Nanyan Pass, he was hunted down by the masters of the Dao Sect.
No matter how he evades, the other party can find him accurately.
He analyzed that the problem might be the ball of death spirit fire in his body, which was planted when he left the Rice Sect headquarters.
It is one of the means used by Daoism to prevent betrayal.
At the same time, it can be seen that Li Weiyi is most likely in trouble! Otherwise, why would the Dao Cult masters chase him? Nanyan Pass must be a trap, and Li Weiyi is likely to have died in it.
"Tuoba will most likely not be able to escape... Now all hope is on me? Can I do it... Can I go back alive?"
Qi Xiao lay on the ground and chuckled bitterly, then stared blankly at the starry sky above his head, feeling an uncomfortable emotion in his heart that made him want to cry out loudly. In his ears, the nightmarish barking of dogs rang again.
The enemy is catching up!
“It’s really haunting.”
He gritted his teeth, struggled to support his body, and rushed into the snowy forest.
He summoned the magic sword and the only remaining magic talisman from the ancestral field. It was with the magic talisman given by Li Weiyi that he was able to cross the entire prefecture and state, running thousands of miles, all the way to the Qiubei Plain.
Every magic talisman represents a life.
Now he only has one life left!
Behind him, on the vast surface of water, dense black clouds of dead souls surged, including hideous human figures and huge beast shadows.
Rushing in the front was a vicious dog with blue ghost fire burning on it. On the back of the vicious dog sat a figure in a black robe with white hair, with four eyes on his face and holding a magic wand, like a ghost from hell.
The dead fighting spirit of the giant scaly lion in Qi Xiao's shield magic weapon was swallowed by the vicious dog in one gulp.
On the shore, countless figures were running and chasing in the snow forest, each of them running at an incredibly fast speed, making a rustling sound.
Soon, Qi Xiao was caught up by the dense crowd of figures in the forest.
These humans were dressed in rags, their skin was as white as copper, there was a bloody curse mark on their chests, their pupils were bloodshot, and they were full of hostility. They attacked Qi Xiao one after another without caring about their lives.
They are the Blood Curse followers of the Twin Rice Cult! Through the curse seal in their bodies, they can burst out several times the strength and speed in a short period of time.
The only drawback is that once the curse is activated, one will inevitably die of exhaustion.
There was a cry of killing in the forest, and members of the Blood Curse Cult kept falling down.
Qi Xiao chopped until his hands were tired and exhausted, but he just couldn't kill them all.
Four god-killing servant knights, riding their undead mounts, rushed over from four different directions.
One of the God-killing Servant said in a deep voice: "A new mission has been received from above. No need to capture anyone alive, just kill the traitor directly."
"Who the hell is the traitor? You want to force me to betray the religion...ah..."
Qi Xiao was shot in the back by an arrow. The arrow, which contained the power of fire, pierced through his body, bringing out a large amount of blood. He almost fainted from the pain.
After sticking the magic talisman on his body, he continued to run wildly with bloodshot eyes.
Behind him were the sounds of dense footsteps and the roars of the beast-like Blood Curse Cult members.
Ahead, the dense forest disappeared, and we finally saw the Qiubei Plain covered in snow, returning to the border of Qiuzhou...
The moment Qi Xiao rushed out of the snowy forest.
“Swish!”
In the forest behind, the four-eyed old man riding on the back of the dead evil dog, had four rays of light flying out from his pupils. They shuttled through the jungle, spanned a hundred feet, and wrapped around his neck, waist, abdomen, and arms, pulling him from behind.
Qi Xiao watched himself moving away from the Qiubei Plain. Regardless of the pain in his neck, he let out an unwilling roar.
The roar startled the snow on the trees, causing them to fall down in large flakes.
Along with the snowflakes, a giant axe covered in scriptures also fell.
The giant axe flew from nowhere, spinning rapidly with dazzling light, and cut off all the four spiritual threads wrapped around Qi Xiao's body.
“Boom!”
The giant axe fell and the earth shook.
Trees fell down in large numbers, and the magical energy knocked dozens of Blood Curse Sect members who were closest to them away.
The evil undead dog with ghost fire burning all over its body sensed something and barked anxiously.
The four-eyed old man on the back of the vicious dog and the four god-killing servants all became alert and activated their magic weapons, releasing the external images of their Tao hearts and their spiritual powers.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Cangli and Yinjiu, who were wearing invisibility cloaks, suddenly appeared. The Dao in their bodies burst out and they rushed out from the left and right, crushing the four god-killing servants.
Six great masters fought in a melee, magical weapons collided, Taoist magic exploded, and human figures were confused.
After only three breaths, the four God-killing servants were thrown out, all seriously injured, and fled in panic.
The four-eyed old man on the back of the dead hound stared ahead. He saw a graceful figure in a green Taoist robe walking under the starry sky. Her skin was glowing white, like a banished immortal.
"Original lamp!"
Zuoqiu Hongting pinched the fingerprints with her hands, and the spiritual world between her eyebrows opened. A mysterious and vast world unfolded, with fragments of the ancient lamp suspended in it.
“Boom!”
A brilliant light like divine clouds emanated from between her brows.
Night turned into day, and the terrifying energy flattened the entire snow forest. Everything, including the four God-killing servants and the Blood Curse followers, turned to ashes.
The four-eyed old man and the undead dog held out a little longer, but were still shattered into powder as if they were made of sand.
Cangli and Yinjiu had already taken Qi Xiao and flew back to the snowfield to help him heal his wounds and stop the bleeding.
Zuoqiu Hongting stepped forward quickly: "Qi Xiao, where have you been in the past two years?"
Qi Xiao was lying on the ground. When he saw Zuoqiu Hongting coming over, ecstasy appeared in his eyes. He wanted to say something, but blood kept flowing out of his mouth.
"Stop talking and heal your wounds first."
Zuoqiu Hongting took out a pill and gave it to him.
Qi Xiao swallowed the healing pill, and his condition gradually stabilized. He said anxiously: "Something big has happened... The demon tribe and the Dao Cult... The Netherworld of the Dead are about to attack Lingxiao City..."
The expressions of the three people present changed drastically, and they immediately thought of Li Weiyi's order to disappear.
Cangli asked, "Why did the cult master chase you? This matter must be top secret. How did you know?"
"Li Weiyi asked me to bring back the news... For the past... one year, we have been at the Rice Sect Headquarters... We have fallen into a trap, and he may have died in Nanyan Pass..." Qi Xiao's chest was heaving violently and his face was pale.
Cangli asked, "Is the Rice Sect's headquarters in the underground immortal palace?"
Qi Xiao nodded and looked at Cangli: "A battle between immortal realm giants broke out at Nanyan Pass, and the one who attacked was Yang Shenjing, the leader of Sui Sect. Tuoba said that the person who was attacked might be your father... He felt the fluctuation of your father's mind power at the engagement banquet two years ago..."
Thump, thump, thump. Cangli took three steps back as if struck by a bolt from the blue. His face was even paler than Qi Xiao's. After steadying his body, he rushed towards the Zouwu monster without looking back.
He felt that since Li Weiyi appeared in Nanyan Pass and was killed by Yang Shenjing, it must be his father.
No matter how strong the old man is, he is only in his sixties, but Yang Shenjing has lived for hundreds of years, so how could he escape? "Where are you going?" Zuoqiu Hongting shouted coldly.
Cangli rode on Zouwu's back, turned around, tears welling in his eyes, and said, "Return to Lizhou, gather all the troops... for revenge!"
"Come back, this matter must not be made public." Zuoqiu Hongting said.
Cangli's eyes were like torches: "You, the Zuoqiu clan, want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, right? Once Lingxiao City falls and the imperial court collapses, the demon clan, the evil cult, and the netherworld of the dead will surely sweep across the world with victory. Can you, the Zuoqiu clan, stop them? Zuoqiu Hongting, if you don't fight in this battle of Lingxiao City, I, the Jiuli clan, will!"
Zuoqiu Hongting said, "Can't you be more rational? Why did Li Weiyi only summon the masters of Jiuli Hidden Sect instead of spreading the news directly? There are many things that we don't understand clearly. If we act rashly, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
