Chapter 265 Demon Moon
Nan Xiao was a little curious. This underground palace was well connected and covered a large area. She had no idea how this group of evil cultivators had found her location so accurately.
The evil cultivator couldn't get any words out of his mouth, but Nan Xiao didn't worry about it. With three bodyguards around her, what was she afraid of?
The four of them took some effort and used some tricks to finally reach the outside of the Holy Moon Room.
This place can be said to be the puppets' base camp. The puppets that ran away are only one-tenth of those inside.
Even the passage here is blocked tightly by puppets.
Fortunately, Nan Xiao had a bell, which made the puppets willingly make way for him. Also, thanks to these puppets, they blocked the evil cultivators for them, giving them a moment of peace.
The four of them stepped into the cave.
At first glance, all you see are terrifying human heads, which makes your scalp tingle.
Su Xun rubbed his arms and said, "How many people have they harmed?"
Ye Wumian answered honestly: "Two cities..."
He wasn't sure either, there might be things they didn't know about.
Not to mention the puppets they had blown up before, there were about 100,000 of them here alone.
Lu Huai summoned the spirit swords, and four spirit swords came out at the same time, hovering beside him, vying for the first place.
Written in large letters on his body were the words: 'Choose me.'
Lu Huai held Chuyi in his hand, staring at the red moon above his head, his expression serious: "Brother, let's get down to business first."
"Big Brother said before that if we want to destroy this place, we must first destroy this demon moon."
"What?"
Nan Xiao and Jiang Xia's meeting was short and hurried. They only exchanged the general direction of the plan, and many details were still unknown.
Lu Huai explained gently, "We talked to the eldest brother. He didn't leave on his own initiative. He was forcibly pulled in by this demonic moon."
"The evil cultivators first used the Soul Devouring Bell to gradually transform people into mindless walking corpses. Then, they used this demonic moon to absorb their souls, turning them into completely obedient puppets."
Ye Wumian: "What is their purpose?"
Nan Xiao was also curious.
This question brought her back to the point that she had been unable to figure out before.
Lu Huai continued to explain: "Moonlight."
"These puppets' bodies act like containers. Every midnight, the evil cultivators release the puppets, letting them be enveloped by the moonlight. Before dawn, they retract the puppets. This way, all the power within the puppets is absorbed by the demonic moon."
"As for where the power absorbed by Yao Yue went..." Lu Huai slowed down his tone and pursed his lips: "That... is hard to say."
Ye Wumian recalled the scene he had seen before. This strange red moon was indeed absorbing the power from the puppet.
He couldn't understand: "What a complicated cultivation method, and I don't see how high their cultivation level is."
"Since we are going to use moonlight to practice, wouldn't it be better to just find an open, unobstructed place with abundant moonlight?"
Isn't it said that the evil cultivation method is a shortcut? But from what my junior brother said, it's even more difficult than their direct absorption of spiritual energy for cultivation.
I really don't understand.
He had fought with many evil cultivators here, but he had never seen how powerful they were.
To put it bluntly, there is not a single one who can fight.
Nan Xiao: "Maybe... there is someone behind this."
She remembered the forbidden room the man in black had mentioned before and murmured, "The real beneficiary may not have come out yet."
It seems that the evil leader is not the real person in power here.
Lu Huai nodded: "That's right."
"Big Brother didn't destroy it before because he was afraid of hurting innocent people. Now that those independent cultivators and common people have been sent out, it's time to take action."
"If we take action here, I'm afraid the people behind the scenes will know immediately. We must finish this quickly so that we can go help Senior Brother."
Su Xun curled his lips: "Of course."
Nan Xiao felt a little emotional. He was indeed the eldest senior brother. He had quietly found out all the things that had puzzled her before.
The four of them did not dare to waste any more time. They took out their spiritual swords and attacked Hongyue.
As the siege of several people gradually approached and was about to touch it, Hongyue seemed to have come to life and dodged repeatedly.
At the same time, the three men in black robes in the confinement room opened their eyes at the same time.
"Oh no, someone attacked Shengyue."
"What's Xiao Wuji doing? He can't even do this little thing properly."
“…”
The three cursed a few times and called for Xiao Wuji for a long time, but there was no sign of him. Instead, a man in black hurried in.
"Why is it you? Where did Xiao Wuji go?"
The man in black bowed his head respectfully as he reported, "Your Excellencies, a serious incident has occurred! Sect disciples have taken advantage of the chaos to flee, not only destroying teleportation points two and three but also releasing those in the dungeon. The underground palace is now in utter chaos, with no order at all." His voice trembled slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, he stammered, "And the master... the master is currently engaged in a fierce battle with a sect disciple."
One of the elders was furious: "You useless piece of shit! You can't even handle such a simple task. You're actually being toyed with by a bunch of brats."
Having said that, he hurriedly stood up and disappeared into the room.
The other two old men looked at each other and followed closely.
…
Holy Moon Room
A few people were unaware that danger had already arrived.
Still competing with Hongyue.
Su Xun couldn't help but grit his teeth: "What is this thing? It's so hard to catch."
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai also looked unhappy. They knew that the longer they stayed here, the more unfavorable the situation would become.
Lu Huai's expression was stern. He clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice, "Strangle with four swords."
The first, fifteenth, twentieth, and thirtieth of the lunar month...
Four spiritual swords suddenly appeared out of nowhere with dazzling light. The sword bodies were shining and they instantly took different positions, surrounding Hongyue and heading straight for it to cut off its retreat.
Nan Xiao followed closely behind, "Xiaoya, lock it."
Green vines instantly rose from the ground, climbing at an astonishing speed, densely packed together, weaving a huge cage in the air.
As the spirit sword and vines got closer and closer, the range shrank, and Hongyue had nowhere to retreat, and was finally trapped in the vines by Xiaoya.
Xiaoya: "Stinky, stinky, stinky... It stinks, it hurts... It hurts."
"Xiaoxiao, hurry up, I can't hold on any longer. This thing is very evil, it can't defeat me..."
Xiaoya was outputting crazily in his sea of consciousness.
As anxious as a groundhog.
Its leaves and vines are also turning yellow and black visibly to the naked eye.
Su Xun replenished the ice in time.
Nan Xiao didn't care about anything else and took the small bud back directly.
She touched its yellowed leaves with heartache and sent it into space to keep it company with the little stone.
At the moment when Su Xun froze Hongyue, Ye Wumian and Lu Huai were not idle either. They launched several extremely destructive attacks.
The red moon shattered with a sound, and countless faint lights floated out of its body and sprinkled on the puppet.
Before they could be happy, several powerful auras attacked them.
Ye Wumian burst out with all his strength, barely blocking it and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Third Senior Brother."
Lu Huai and Su Xun supported him on his left and right.
“You deserve to die…”
There were loud shouts and explosions at the entrance of the cave.
In an instant, three old men with powerful auras appeared out of nowhere, and the overwhelming pressure around them made it hard to breathe.
