Chapter 517 Mysterious Altar
In the center of the venue there is a huge altar made of huge stones, which is majestic and spectacular.
On the altar, there was a giant bronze tripod with runes engraved all over it. At this moment, a ghostly green fire was burning in the tripod.
A group of mysterious people in black robes were slowly circling the bronze tripod.
Liu Xing was shocked: "What is this?"
Chen Wan was supporting the picture with all his strength, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, and his face turned slightly pale due to the effort.
She could clearly feel an invisible barrier preventing her from peeking.
In the picture, in front of the bronze tripod, an old man in a black robe is holding an ancient staff and muttering something, obviously performing some kind of ritual.
Suddenly, the old man in black robe paused, as if he noticed someone was watching him.
He actually turned his head slowly, and his pair of blood-red eyes penetrated the screen and looked straight at Chen Wan.
The other men in black robes also looked over.
The picture suddenly stopped!
In an instant, a powerful backlash force surged and hit Shen Wan like an invisible wall.
Shen Wan reacted quickly and pulled away immediately, but was still knocked back by the force. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Liu Xing was startled and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Chen Wan waved his hand: "I'm fine. It seems that they need your demon pill to perform some kind of ritual. What kind of ritual can have such a large energy fluctuation? Even I almost got internal injuries."
"It's not suitable to stay here for long, let's go first!"
Chen Wan sensed that someone was chasing them, so he pulled Liu Xing along and got into the ghost sedan and left.
As soon as she left, several men in black robes rushed to the scene.
"Chief, there is some negative energy remaining." A man in black robe nodded to the old man in black robe holding a magic wand.
The old man in black robe looked around and said coldly: "Strengthen the protection, and never let outsiders find the entrance to the altar."
The black-robed man nodded and said, "Don't worry, Patriarch. The altar is surrounded by barriers. Ordinary people can't get in, let alone find the entrance."
The old man in black robe glared at him coldly: "What happened just now? The other party had already peeped in. If I hadn't reacted in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Several men in black robes were frightened and broke out in cold sweats, and knelt down in haste.
"I failed to guard properly, please punish me, Chief!"
The old man in black robe said coldly: "The ceremony cannot be interrupted, go back quickly!"
"…yes!"
Several people left quickly again.
After a moment, a ghost sedan appeared quietly.
Chen Wan didn't go far, she was just being careful.
Have Wu Gui hide his cell phone on a tree branch and keep the video on.
In the video playback, she saw several people in black robes appear at the same place.
They were very agile and it was obvious that they were from the same group.
"A man in black robes, a huge altar, a demon pill, a magic staff..."
Shen Wan pondered, thinking about all the people and things he could think of, but there was no relevant information about these people in his memory.
"Liu Xing, I'm sorry I can't take you to chase them. They are mysterious and their strength is hard to estimate. Chasing them will only bring danger to ourselves."
Liu Xing understood and said, "I understand your concerns. If it were me, I wouldn't be so reckless to chase after him."
"The other party has many people and is powerful. It is enough to know that they took my demon pill away."
Liu Xinghan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking of seeking revenge himself.
Chen Wan said sternly: "Jiuli Academy is unfathomable. If you don't want to be torn to pieces, stop thinking about seeking revenge alone."
"Boss, I..."
"I know you hate them for taking your demon pill away, but Jiuli Academy is not as simple as you think. You saw it just now. I was discovered after just peeking for a few seconds. What does that mean?"
"This means that the opponent's strength is comparable to mine, or even stronger than mine."
Liu Xing was silent for a long while before he said unwillingly, "I'll listen to you and not go for now."
"I have asked someone to look into the matter of Jiuli Academy, and there will be a response soon." Chen Wan said, "Let's go home first."
The backlash just now shocked her, and although it did not hurt her, at that moment she felt an unprecedented terrifying force.
This kind of power was something he had never experienced before, even in his previous life, in the thrilling battles with the Chrysanthemum Sect and the Blood Robe Sect.
Shocking! Terrifying!
This was the first time she felt such a palpitation that she couldn't control it.
She didn't know whether this terrifying power was good or evil.
But if it is evil, it would be a devastating blow to China.
Chen Wan returned to Shanhai Bay with a heavy heart, and immediately found Zhang Tianshi to ask about the altar.
Zhang Tianshi looked bewildered. "I've never heard of such a large altar in the country. Mysterious people in black robes? Are they all from Jiuli Academy?"
Chen Wan shook his head: "I don't know if all the people in black robes are from Jiuli Academy, but Director Wang said that the person who specifically asked for the demon pill was from Jiuli Academy."
"Master Zhang, how much do you know about Jiuli Academy?"
Zhang Tianshi's expression was solemn, and he said truthfully: "Very little."
"I only know that Jiuli Academy has existed for a long time. It seems to have existed since ancient times. They have always been in seclusion, and rarely appear even in troubled times."
"By the way, Master Taixuan once mentioned Jiuli Academy."
Shen Wan's eyes lit up: "What did the master say?"
Zhang Tianshi recalled: "This is what Master Taixuan said when he founded the Jiujiu. He said that Jiuli has been guarding something since ancient times. I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, it's been so long that I forgot."
Chen Wan thought: "Guardian..."
"I saw them holding some kind of ceremony on the altar, and Liu Xing's demon pill seemed to be thrown into the bronze tripod."
"The demon pill contains Liu Xing's lifelong cultivation. Could it be that they are absorbing external forces to use as a source of power to protect that thing?"
Zhang Tianshi reminded her: "We, Xuanmen and Jiuli Academy, have always kept to ourselves. Little friend Shen, I think it's better for you not to get involved. This kind of hidden clan from ancient times to the present is not something we can spy on."
Shen Wan smiled but said nothing.
Liu Xing is following her now, she can't just sit there and watch.
And she promised Liu Xing that she would help him find the murderer behind the scenes.
A man should not go back on his word.
When Zhang Tianshi saw that she didn't say anything, he knew that she didn't listen at all.
After thinking for a while, he reminded: "If you must participate, just mention your master's name when you encounter danger. Master Taixuan's name will definitely make Jiuli Academy a little wary."
Shen Wan laughed and said, “It’s somewhat immoral to mention Master’s name when you get into trouble outside, hahahaha.”
She is responsible for her own actions.
The master has a great reputation, so she would not leave any stain on him.
As the two were talking, Qi Chong suddenly shouted downstairs: "Boss, come and see Master Li, he doesn't seem right!"
Shen Wan hurried downstairs and saw Li Hanting sitting in the magic circle to suppress the death energy. The death energy on his body was even stronger.
His handsome face was visibly emitting a grayish-black color.
