"Junior Brother Wanyan!"
Senior Brother Zhan also recognized Wanyan Jun and his face showed a touch of joy.
"Quick! Save my disciple! "
His voice suddenly became much louder, but because his body was extremely weak, he still sounded weak.
"Senior Brother Zhan, where is your disciple?"
Wanyan Jun frowned and asked.
He only wanted to complete the task and had no interest in saving people.
"My disciple was caught by a fierce beast and brought to its den. The strength of the fierce beast is similar to mine, but it can control plagues and is very terrifying. It has a treasure in its hand, which is very likely to be a divine treasure."
Senior Brother Zhan panted and said.
Divine treasure!
Hearing these words, Wanyan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shangguan Lei's originally uninterested expressions instantly changed and became full of greed.
Ling Xiao secretly shook his head.
The reason why people lose their minds was mostly related to greed.
"Where is the den of the fierce beast?"
Wanyan Jun asked.
"It's in the basement of the manor."
Senior Brother Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "This basement was originally the place where I stored all kinds of secret martial arts manuals, elixirs, and weapons. But in the end, it took all of them away and became its devil's den. All the people in the valley were imprisoned by it."
"They're not dead yet?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
"I don't know. I'm now living in this world and can only wait for death. The fierce beast doesn't dare to catch me because it's afraid that I will choose to explode my Martial Vein."
Senior Brother Zhan suddenly cried sadly and said, "Alas, I'm useless. As the Valley Master, I actually let this place become a den of demons."
"Senior Brother Zhan, don't be sad. We will help you save those people."
Wanyan Jun said excitedly, "Ling Xiao, you stay here and take good care of Senior Brother Zhan. The three of us will be back soon."
"But Senior Brother, I also want to complete the task."
Ling Xiao said hurriedly.
"Cut the crap. Do what I ask you to do. In this way, we will complete the task and give you some benefits. Otherwise, you won't get anything!"
Wanyan Jun threatened.
"Okay then."
Ling Xiao nodded, but the corner of his mouth slipped into an imperceptible sneer.
Since these three people were in a hurry to die, why should he stop them?
"Let's go!"
Wanyan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shangguan Lei's thoughts were very simple. Although the underground Demon Cave might be dangerous, in the end, it was only a single Third-Grade vicious beast, equivalent to a Transcendent Realm Third Layer cultivator, the three of them were more than enough to deal with it.
There was no need for Ling Xiao to continue following them.
If Ling Xiao went in, he might even hinder them from completing the mission and obtaining the treasures.
Watching the three figures disappear, Ling Xiao suddenly foamed at the mouth and twitched on the ground. A moment later, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Heh, heh, heh, you're just a Half-step Master. How dare you enter the Plague Valley? I knew that you would be infected by the plague."
Senior Brother Zhan, who was leaning against the wall and looking extremely weak, sneered as he looked at Ling Xiao, who was lying on the ground.
"Next, it's time to deal with those three idiots. It's not easy to raise a vicious beast. Don't let those three guys kill you."
Senior Brother Zhan carried Ling Xiao on his shoulder and followed Wanyan Jun and the other two into the underground Demon Cave, completely sealing the door.
Ling Xiao was obviously pretending to faint.
He actually felt that there was something wrong with Senior Brother Zhan from the beginning. Others might not be able to tell, but with his eyesight, he could naturally see that this guy was exuding an evil aura.
Such a person couldn't be normal.
Lying on Senior Brother Zhan's shoulder, Ling Xiao noticed that the stone door that sealed the underground Demon Cave was actually inlaid with two Array Refining Stones.
After the two Array Refining Stones were activated, only people who were proficient in Array Formations or knew the mechanism could open the door.
His master, Yuan Venerate Yuan Venerate, had once told him that Array Refining Masters didn't exist on the Tianlong Continent, at least not in the past ten thousand years.
Could Senior Brother Zhan have actually come into contact with people from ten thousand years ago?
As they approached the center of the Demon Cave, Ling Xiao heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside. He reckoned that Wanyan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shangguan Lei had already exchanged blows with the plague beast.
Senior Brother Zhan quickened his pace and arrived at the center of the Demon Cave in no time.
There weren't any ordinary people in the valley here, not even corpses. However, there were indeed many secret martial arts manuals, as well as a large number of elixirs and weapons that were very important to ordinary martialists.
There were also thousands of low-grade spirit stones.
Senior Brother Zhan directly threw Ling Xiao to the ground, and then quietly disappeared into the darkness.
This guy was really cautious. It was obvious that he was planning to launch a sneak attack.
"Ah!"
In the darkness, a skinny claw imprinted itself on Shangguan Lei's back. Shangguan Lei let out a horrified scream as a black handprint appeared on his back. It seemed like he wouldn't survive.
"Someone is launching a sneak attack!"
Wanyan Jun and Chen Zui's expressions changed as they shielded Shangguan Lei and leaned against the wall. This way, they could avoid being attacked.
"Isn't that Ling Xiao?"
Wanyan Jun saw Ling Xiao lying motionlessly on the ground with his eyes rolled back.
"He can't be dead, can he?"
"But there's only Senior Brother Zhan outside. How could he be like this? Could it be Senior Brother Zhan?"
Wanyan Jun suddenly thought of a possibility. His heart suddenly turned cold to the extreme. Fear and regret instantly filled his entire body.
"Run!"
Wanyan Jun shouted and no longer cared about Shangguan Lei.
Chen Zui followed closely behind.
They didn't even care about Shangguan Lei, let alone Ling Xiao. They didn't even look at Ling Xiao and fled toward the outside of the Demon Cave.
However, the Plague Beast was already blocking the entrance of the cave. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, looking quite ferocious.
"Hehehe, none of you can escape today. Since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I've painstakingly set up such a trap. If I let you escape, wouldn't it be too wasteful? "
Senior Brother Zhan's figure gradually appeared amidst the laughter.
Behind him was a skull with glowing red eyes.
Although Ling Xiao had seen many Martial Spirits before, this was the first time he had seen a Martial Spirit like this.
Sure enough, the Mystic World was a mysterious place where all kinds of strange things could happen.
Deep inside this Demon Cave, Ling Xiao not only didn't feel the slightest fear, but instead felt a little excited.
This was what it meant to be adventurous. This was the path a cultivator should take.
Hiding in the Sect all day was really too boring.
"Senior Brother Zhan, as a disciple of Yuehua School, what do you want to do?"
Seeing that there was no way out, Wanyan Jun steeled his heart and decided to use force.
If he and Chen Zui joined forces, they might not necessarily be a match for Senior Brother Zhan and the Plague Beast.
After all, the other party was only a Third Layer Transcendent Realm enemy.
The two of them were also Third Layer Transcendent Realm cultivators, and they often carried out missions and cultivated together. Their tacit understanding was probably not worse than the other party's.
