Ling Xiao glanced at Shen Chong indifferently and said, "If I didn't guess wrongly, among these 90 martial artists participating in the test, there must be a spy from the Bloody Cave Stronghold.
Are you sure you want to continue this test? Of the 89 people who went in previously, I'm afraid that quite a few have already been killed or injured? "
"What nonsense. If you don't dare to go in, then don't talk nonsense."
Shen Chong glanced at Ling Xiao disdainfully, his eyes revealing contempt and impatience.
The other martial artist who was with Shen Chong also just looked at him indifferently, seemingly not believing what he said at all.
"Fine, if you don't believe, then don't believe. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."
Ling Xiao laughed coldly and lifted his foot to step into that blood-red teleportation array.
"Huff ~ ~"
Just as he entered, a bone-piercing cold wind assaulted him.
Ling Xiao could not help being stunned for a moment. Looking around, only then did he realize that this place was actually covered in thick snow everywhere.
The Bloody Cave Stronghold actually made their nest in this kind of place. They really knew how to choose.
The cold wind was bone-piercing.
The snowflakes were swept up, filling the sky with snow-white.
However, some of the dark red in between appeared so dazzling.
Ling Xiao frowned and quietly hid his body in the darkness, leaving only a faint layer of shadow.
Anyway, this place could not be monitored even if the Eight Immortal Mountain wanted to.
Therefore, even if he used the Shadow Step, it would not matter.
At the same time, he also equipped himself with the Shadow Armor. Not only could it increase the stealth effect of the Shadow Step, but it could also increase defense.
He saw very clearly that the dark red just now was human blood.
But the strange thing was that there were no corpses. There were only blood drops scattered on the snow.
Ling Xiao carefully observed for a moment. Indeed, a massacre had just unfolded here, and the scene was very tragic.
He estimated that as many as four or five examinees were killed.
It seemed that the strength of this batch of examinees was still very strong. They clearly fell into the Bloody Cave Stronghold's trap and could actually still escape.
"En, what a strong smell of blood!"
Ling Xiao walked forward for a distance. The bone-piercing cold was also unable to bring him the slightest bit of harm.
Just the Shadow Armor alone could dispel a large amount of cold for him. Adding on the protection of essence power, it was basically impossible for him to be frozen.
If an ordinary half-step Yin Yang Realm martial artist came here, they would have to constantly expend their internal energy to expel the cold Qi.
The Blood Cave Stronghold had chosen this place for their base because they had considered this aspect.
He suddenly sped up and rushed in the direction of the smell of blood.
After about five hundred meters, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped.
He didn't expect that there would be hunters living in the wilderness.
There were a few thatched cottages in the dense forest.
At that moment, however, there were no signs of life within the thatched cottage. Over ten corpses were strewn on the ground. Surprisingly, some of them were the examiners that Ling Xiao had seen before.
The way they died was extremely strange. All the blood in their bodies had been sucked dry, and their bodies had turned into shriveled old bark-like things.
If it wasn't for Ling Xiao's Tai Chi Eye, which allowed him to identify the corpses, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell that some of the corpses belonged to the examiners.
Every one of their expressions was extremely terrifying.
All of them had their eyes and mouths wide open, as if they had seen something extremely horrifying.
"Was it done by the Blood Cave Stronghold?"
Ling Xiao couldn't help but gasp. Such cruel bandits were actually used as an entry test. This Eight Immortal Mountain was really not easy to enter.
He squatted on the ground and carefully examined the footprints on the snow.
It was obvious that the martial artists who killed these people had good movement techniques. They could simply walk on the snow without leaving a trace.
However, during the flight, they still needed to take a breath, so there would be footprints after about fifty meters.
"There are quite a lot of people. They might be from the Blood Cave Stronghold. I wonder where the other examiners went.
Forget it, I can't care so much. Even if it's not an assessment, there's nothing wrong with killing these evil bandits. "
Although Ling Xiao wasn't a good person, he still had some thoughts of getting rid of evil for the people.
Anyway, it was just along the way and wouldn't take up too much time.
According to his judgment, this group of people shouldn't have left for long. After all, the Eight Immortal Mountain's assessment had just begun. If there were examiners killed here, it definitely wouldn't have been long.
Ling Xiao broke through the air and flew in the direction of the footprints. After flying for a short while, a fortress-like city appeared in front of him.
"Blood Cave Stronghold!"
Ling Xiao looked at the three blood-red words above the city gate tower. Naturally, he knew it very well.
This Blood Cave Stronghold was built on the mountain. There should have been buildings originally, but the bandits of the Blood Cave Stronghold had added on later.
There seemed to be only one way to go from the bottom of the mountain to the top.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, there was a scream in front of him.
Ling Xiao saw a blood-red figure suddenly fly out from the thick snow and grab the examiner who had followed him. In just an instant.
The examiner died, and his blood was quickly sucked into the body of the blood-red figure.
At this time, Ling Xiao could see the appearance of the bandit clearly.
He was wearing a blood-red robe.
He had a skull mask on his head.
He couldn't see his appearance clearly, but his skills were not bad. Moreover, this was their territory. This allowed them to appear and disappear unpredictably, which was extremely unfavorable to the examiners.
Of course, the examiners were not to be trifled with. At this time, there were already people who had killed several bandits and obtained the demonic seeds in their bodies.
The demonic seeds were pitch black.
Compared to the demonic seeds that Ling Xiao had swallowed before, it was far inferior. However, it should still be beneficial to his cultivation.
He didn't know what the Eight Immortal Mountain wanted these things for.
Outside the Blood Cave Stronghold, almost all the examiners had gathered.
However, Shen Shi and Zhou Yan were not among them.
It seemed like they were planning to attack.
On top of the Blood Cave Stronghold's city gate, a person wearing a blood-red robe and blood-red armor walked out.
Vigorous elemental energy wandered around his body and actually turned into a blood-red mist.
He was different from ordinary people. His two canine teeth were especially long and actually grew out of his mouth. As long as he ruthlessly bit down, he could bite through the enemy's protective elemental energy and pierce into the enemy's body to suck their blood.
This person floated in mid-air and looked coldly at the eighty-odd examiners below.
Beside him, over a thousand bandits appeared. Some were on both sides of the mountain path, while others were on top of the city wall.
However, their overall strength was stronger than what the Eight Immortal Mountain had described.
The Eight Immortal Mountain's people said that the lowest cultivation of this group of bandits was at the seventh Grotto-Heaven Realm, while the highest cultivation of the bandit leader was at the eighth level of the half-step Yin Yang Realm.
However, the situation now was different.
Ling Xiao could clearly see that the lowest cultivation of this group of bandits was at the tenth Grotto-Heaven Realm.
As for the fifth level of the half-step Yin Yang Realm, there were more than a hundred of them.
The person floating in mid-air should be the bandit leader. His cultivation was not at the eighth level but the tenth level. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Yin Yang Realm.
