Within Ghost Valley, miasma permeated the air, and the ancient trees all around twisted and swirled, like eerie ghostly shadows.
Poisonous miasma churned in the breeze, and a few wisps of will-o'-the-wisps could be vaguely seen floating by, making the surrounding scene even more eerie and sinister.
Liu Feng's divine sense spread out rapidly, and in an instant he locked onto several sentry posts.
He carried Ayi, gliding close to the ground like a phantom in the night, his movements swift and silent, deftly bypassing all the guards and heading straight for the core area of the Shadow Sect.
We must not alert the enemy before rescuing Jiu'er.
"Brother Liu, the main hall of the Shadow Sect is just ahead."
Ayi lowered her voice and pointed to the black palace in the distance. Will-o'-the-wisps flickered around the palace, thick with poisonous miasma, exuding a suffocatingly eerie atmosphere.
Liu Feng nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and focused his mind. His divine sense spread out again like a tide, penetrating through layers of darkness to search for the target's traces.
"Brother Liu, how's it going? Have you found them?"
Ayi couldn't help but ask softly, her voice tinged with nervousness. She instinctively gripped the short knife in her hand, her knuckles turning slightly white.
Liu Feng slowly opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and did not say anything, but simply raised his hand to signal Ayi to follow.
They quickly bypassed the main hall and quietly slipped into a dark stone cell.
The stone cell was cold and damp, the iron bars were rusty, and the air was filled with the stench of decay and blood, making one want to vomit.
Several disciples of the Shadow Sect were guarding the cell door, dozing against the wall, their breathing even, completely unaware of the commotion outside.
Liu Feng's gaze fell on the depths of the cell, where he saw a woman dressed in white huddled in an iron cage, her eyes closed, her face as pale as paper, and her breath weak.
"Senior Sister Jiu'er!" Liu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out.
Hearing the familiar voice, Senior Sister Jiu'er slowly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them, but it was instantly swallowed up by helplessness and pain: "Junior Brother Liu... why are you here... hurry... it's dangerous here..."
Liu Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart, and suddenly swung his sword. A flash of sword light appeared, and the iron cage shattered in response!
"Senior sister, I've come to take you back!"
Ayi also rushed forward, feeling pity for her senior sister Jiu'er when she saw her haggard appearance.
However, Senior Sister Jiu'er gently shook her head, her eyes dimming: "Junior Brother Liu...you should go...I've been afflicted by the Crescent Moon Gu...it's...beyond saving..."
Before the words were finished, several disciples of the Shadow Sect were awakened by the unusual activity and noticed the abnormality in the cell.
"Who goes there?!"
"How dare you trespass into the Shadow Sect!"
The group was shocked and furious, and were about to draw their swords to stop him when they saw Liu Feng raise his eyes coldly, revealing a murderous intent in them.
"Get lost." He uttered the word and his figure flashed out like lightning.
"Puff puff puff—"
Several sword lights flashed like lightning, blood splattered, and the guards were all killed before they could even utter a sound, falling to the ground and unable to get up.
Without thinking twice, Liu Feng quickly grabbed Senior Sister Jiu'er's wrist, lightly touched her pulse with his fingertips, and probed it with his divine sense. He immediately frowned. Her pulse was extremely disordered, and a strange, cold power was devouring her life force within her body.
A crescent-shaped mark suddenly appeared on his wrist, with dark purple Gu patterns faintly moving around, exuding a creepy and eerie aura.
"Chi Yan... damn it!" Liu Feng gritted his teeth and roared, his eyes suddenly turning cold.
Without hesitation, he immediately channeled a gentle spiritual energy into her to temporarily stabilize Senior Sister Jiu'er's condition, and then took out a Yuan-replenishing pill and fed it to her.
Senior Sister Jiu'er's breathing stabilized slightly, but she was still weak.
Meanwhile, inside the Black Stone Palace.
Chi Yan, the sect leader of the Youying Sect, sat in the center of the main hall, gently turning a transparent bottle in his hand. Inside the bottle, colorful Gu worms rolled and wriggled, faintly emitting a nauseating fishy smell.
A sinister smile curled at the corner of his lips: "It'll be soon. In seven days, the little Taoist nun's vital energy will be completely drained and put to my use."
"Master is indeed brilliant! The Shadow Sect has grown several times stronger over the years, all thanks to your secret techniques," a Shadow Sect disciple said respectfully.
Chi Yan scoffed, his gaze turning icy: "Hmph, nothing more than a petty trick. Once I absorb the little Daoist nun's pure Yin energy, my cultivation will advance even further. At that time, no one in the Youying Sect will be able to stop me!"
The words had barely left his mouth when a whooshing sound suddenly rang out!
"boom!"
Outside the main hall, a deafening roar suddenly erupted!
Immediately afterwards, a sharp sword light pierced through the air, carrying an astonishing killing intent, and slashed straight at the front of the main hall!
"Enemy attack!"
Who has invaded?
The disciples of the Shadow Sect were shocked and drew their weapons, looking warily at the palace gate.
As the smoke and dust cleared, three figures stepped inside.
Liu Feng's body was surrounded by sword energy, making him look like a god of death, his cold gaze fixed on Chi Yan on the high seat.
"The Shadow Sect should be destroyed today."
Chi Yan narrowed his eyes, and a sinister glint flashed in them the moment he saw Liu Feng.
His gaze swept over Ayi and Senior Sister Jiu'er, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his lips: "Heh, it seems that those good-for-nothings from the Miao village have finally come knocking on our door."
Liu Feng sneered, drew his longsword, and the sword light was as cold as frost!
Chi Yan's expression changed slightly as he finally realized Liu Feng's power. He immediately shouted, "Someone, stop him!"
Disciples of the Shadow Sect surged forward, unleashing various Gu techniques. Poisonous snakes, centipedes, and scorpions swarmed towards Liu Feng like a tide.
Liu Feng's expression was cold. With a flash of sword light, the poisonous creature was instantly slashed down!
In the blink of an eye, he had closed in on Chi Yan.
Chi Yan roared and waved his scepter, unleashing a swarm of black Gu worms that could devour spiritual energy!
Liu Feng's lips curled up slightly, and the sword energy in his hand suddenly surged, unleashing a mighty sword intent that swept across the land!
"puff!"
Chi Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, his eyes wide with horror: "Impossible! How could your cultivation level be..."
