The four of them rode their horses all the way to the Demon Cult's place, which was not far from Nannanyuan City, so they were not in a hurry.
This time the four of them walked in the front. Ning Biqiao took out the token and the gatekeeper let them in. Soon someone came to pick them up.
The visitor was a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair. He spoke warmly when he saw Ning Biqiao.
"Biqiao, you're finally here."
After seeing Xia Feng's face clearly behind him, his eyes suddenly focused and his voice stopped. Now it was known that the young girl in front of him was the one who defeated the leader of the demon cult with one blow.
How come the evil star came to the Demon Cult? That’s right, in the eyes of the Demon Cult members, Xia Feng is the evil star.
He looked at Zhu Zi again. Wasn't the person in front of him the disciple of the Great Elder? Why didn't he return to the Demon Sect, but instead followed these people?
After all, the Demon Cult has suffered a heavy blow, and the number of masters is less than 20% of what it used to be. It is nowhere near its former glory, and many industries are shrinking rapidly.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to recapture the Demon Cult so easily. After all, they had only dared to remain silent before.
"Elder Sun, I'm only helping out for my father's sake. There's nothing else I can do.
I invited the three friends around me to visit the Demon Cult."
In fact, Elder Sun wanted Ning Biqiao to take the position of the leader of the Demon Cult. After all, none of the younger generation of the Demon Cult could fight, but Ning Biqiao was outstanding.
Ning Biqiao has the ability to be an elder, and she is also the daughter of the former leader of the Demon Cult, so it is natural for her to be the leader.
But Ning Biqiao kept refusing. She still liked her freedom and didn't want to be bound by the Demon Cult. In addition, she didn't have a very good feeling about the Demon Cult, so naturally she didn't want to take over this mess.
Elder Sun glanced at Zhu Zi, and Zhu Zi smiled.
Although she always wore a mask in the Demon Cult, the status of Elder Sun was not low, so it was not surprising that he knew her identity.
"Elder Sun, I have left the Demonic Cult and am now just the eldest daughter of the Zhu family."
"Let me introduce you. This is my sister Zhu Yu, the second daughter of the Zhu family."
Elder Sun suddenly didn't dare to say anything. If the evil star in front of him was unhappy, he could send him to meet the former leader with one move.
After settling down in the Demon Cult, Xia Feng took a look around. Zhu Zi took her to his room. There was no decoration at all, only a cold stone cave and a stone bed, without even a mirror.
Zhu Zi walked to the stone wall at the head of the bed, pried open the stone wall, revealing a small hole inside, and took out a small red plum blossom hairpin.
Zhu Zi caressed him lovingly, "Now I'm going to take six-year-old Zhu Zi home. We will have a sweet and happy life from now on."
Xia Feng felt a lump in her throat. The hairpin in front of her was exactly the one Zhu Zi had worn when she was abducted thirteen years ago. She had kept it all along. She had never forgotten the Zhu family.
After the two sisters calmed down and went out, Ning Biqiao sent someone to find them. Xia Feng and the others walked into a stone chamber. Ning Biqiao and Long Yuanling were standing in front of the stone wall, with Elder Sun beside them.
Xia Feng looked around. The stone chamber was simply decorated and judging from the person's attire, he should be a man.
Ning Biqiao saw Xia Feng coming and pointed at the stone wall.
"There should be something behind it, but I can't find the mechanism. We tried together, but we still can't break it, so I want you to try."
Xia Feng didn't waste any words. Ning Biqiao pulled Elder Sun away quickly. Long Yuanling automatically stood away and watched the scene excitedly. Thinking of the Demon Cult's treasure house before, could this be a bigger treasure house?
The sword energy was so intense that before anyone could react, there was an explosion before their eyes. After a cloud of dust and fog cleared, a hole as tall as a person appeared before their eyes.
Elder Sun looked at Xia Feng in horror. Just a light blow was enough to kill him. They had just put in so much effort, but the stone wall in front of them didn't move at all.
It was so scary, so scary that he couldn't help but walk away from Xia Feng.
Zhu Zi curled his lips when he saw this scene. The reason why Elder Sun was able to survive was not only because he knew how to adapt to the situation, but more importantly, he was timid and fearful.
Ning Biqiao went in first and found a secret room inside. In the center was an ice crystal coffin. The ground around it was covered with dense red lines and some scrawled symbols.
As soon as Long Yuanling came in, she couldn't help shivering and rubbing her arms.
"Why is it so cold here?"
When Ning Biqiao saw clearly the person lying in the coffin, her face suddenly changed.
Even Elder Sun couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
"It's...it's Ning...Demon Lord Ning."
Lying inside was Ning Xiuyong, Ning Biqiao's father.
But Ning Xiuyong's body was covered with dense wounds, which were cut little by little with a dagger, and there were two big Xs on his face on the left and right.
Judging from the wounds and bleeding, it was obviously painted after death.
"No wonder we couldn't find Demon Lord Ning's body. It turns out it's here."
Zhu Zi stared at the red line below and spoke slowly.
"There seems to be a Five-Death Life-Severing Formation down there. Legend has it that it's based on the Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and it can prevent the dead from being reborn."
Long Yuanling shuddered again, "This is too vicious. People are dead, and they still don't let them have an easy life."
But looking at the wounds on Ning Xiuyong's body, it seemed like revenge, Xia Feng thought lightly.
Ning Biqiao looked at Elder Sun and asked, "Has anyone been here before?"
Elder Sun quickly recalled, "This was your father's former room. Since Bai Shaoyuan took office, it has been abandoned and ordinary people dare not approach it.
I've been here a few times, but because I don't have a key, I could only sneak a few glances outside and didn't see anyone."
"Think about it carefully. Don't let even a maid go." Ning Biqiao said coldly.
Elder Sun fell into deep thought, then suddenly clapped his hands.
"Now that you mention it, I have actually seen someone here. It was a masked woman. I've seen her twice. I thought she was a maid sent by Bai Shaoyuan.
The last time was when the news of Bai Shaoyuan's failure came. I saw her go into the leader's room, and I didn't see her again in the sect.
"Is there anyone else besides her?"
Elder Sun slowly shook his head, "I haven't seen any others."
"Draw her appearance." Ning Biqiao arranged.
Elder Sun immediately went to find someone to paint the portrait.
When Ning Biqiao got the painting, she couldn't help but frown. There was only a pair of eyes in the painting, and only a petite figure could be seen, with no other information.
Zhu Zi saw the painting and looked at it carefully.
"I think I've seen her too."
Ning Biqiao suddenly looked at Zhu Zi, and Zhu Zi slowly explained.
"One time, the Great Elder asked me to deliver information to Bai Shaoyuan. When I went in, she happened to come out of Bai Shaoyuan's room."
Then he looked at everyone.
"Actually, when I first saw Aunt Hua, I felt that she was very similar to this person."
Ning Biqiao's face changed when these words were spoken.
But if you look closely, her eyes are indeed very similar to Aunt Hua's, in terms of eye shape, not temperament.
The eyes in the painting are full of indifference, indifference to the world and everything, while Hua Mengyue is as gentle as water.
But strangely, Ning Biqiao also had this feeling.
