Wanyan Jun and the other two knew that the stone in Ling Xiao's hand was a stone that could store vital essence. They did not know the use of the Refining Formation Stone.
So they did not think too much about it.
It was a pity that they did not know that Ling Xiao had already refined the "Plague Bone Dissolving Formation" into the Refining Formation Stone. In the future, he could use it on the spot without any materials.
If he wanted to use it multiple times, he would have to replenish the materials.
Ling Xiao picked up the Refining Formation Stone and placed it in the Mountain River World. Then, he pointed to the place where the Demon General had disappeared and said, "My Senior Brother Chen Zui, do you think I can do it now?"
There was actually a staircase that led underground. It was obviously chiseled and paved with stone slabs.
The Plague Demon King had really put in a lot of effort to build such an underground staircase.
Everyone looked at the staircase that led underground and could not help but swallow their saliva. They seemed a little excited.
"Three Senior Brothers, do you think I should go down first, or you guys go first?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
Wanyan Jun smiled and said, "Among the four of us, only Junior Brother Ling knows about formations. Naturally, Junior Brother Ling will take the lead. After all, if we go down, we don't know if there are any mechanisms or formations."
Ling Xiao cursed inwardly for being shameless.
However, he said, "In that case, Junior Brother will go down first. However, if there are any benefits later, I hope Senior Brother will not be jealous."
"Wait a minute!"
Chen Zui suddenly shouted and then transmitted his voice to Wanyan Jun, "Senior Brother Wanyan, we can't let this kid go down first. This kid is very greedy. If he sees something and directly puts it into his storage ring, we can't fall out with him."
"You're right!"
Wanyan Jun suddenly woke up. Although he planned to kill Ling Xiao and Shangguan Lei after everything was done, the plan could not keep up with the changes. He was also worried that his idea would fail. In that case, he could not let Ling Xiao take advantage of him anymore.
"Junior Brother Ling, you are our savior. We can't let you take the risk. How about this, I'll walk in front and you follow behind me?"
Thinking of this, Wanyan Jun said to Ling Xiao.
"Fine."
How could Ling Xiao not understand Wanyan Jun's thoughts? It was just that he was too lazy to expose him.
When the underground staircase was first designed, it was probably to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, so only one person could go up and down.
Therefore, Wanyan Jun walked in the front, Ling Xiao followed behind him, followed by Shangguan Lei and Chen Zui.
This was obviously to monitor Ling Xiao and Shangguan Lei to prevent them from doing anything improper.
Nothing unexpected happened along the way.
Wanyan Jun's footsteps became faster and faster.
Although there might be danger down there, opportunity and danger coexisted. Perhaps they could really find some treasures.
No, it wasn't 'maybe', but 'definitely'!
After walking for about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the area in front of them opened up.
Just as Ling Xiao had said, there was actually a very spacious underground palace.
The extravagance of the construction was not inferior to the manors above.
"Look!"
Wanyan Jun walked at the front and suddenly stopped.
Because he found some people working there.
These people were dressed in ragged clothes and looked very thin, but they were not dead. They were all real humans.
"These should be the people of the valley. There are also some Martial Vein warriors who were captured. Now they are all slaves."
Ling Xiao saw through everything and couldn't help but be surprised.
The secret of the Plague Valley being empty was finally revealed.
It was actually good news that they were not dead.
Some of these people were carrying huge stones, some were pushing wheelbarrows, and some were chiseling irregular stones into squares.
What they were doing was actually building an altar.
"Are they trying to revive someone?"
Ling Xiao couldn't help but be shocked. This altar was obviously the legendary "Life Altar".
As long as there were enough sacrifices, the dead could be revived.
The four of them hid their figures. Ordinary people and Martial Vein warriors wouldn't be able to discover them.
"What a big Life Altar. It occupies a radius of a hundred meters. Look at the statues on the altar!"
Wanyan Jun was an inner disciple of the Yuehua School, so he knew about the Life Altar.
The Life Altar was mainly composed of an altar, a sacrificial blood pool, and a sacrificial statue.
Sacrifices were placed on the altar.
The sacrificial blood pool was filled with very precious blood.
The sacrificial statue was for the person to be resurrected.
Ling Xiao was surprised to find that there were three third-layer Transcendent Realm cultivators in the giant stone bowl on the altar.
"Junior Brother Liu, Junior Brother Zhang, and Junior Sister Qin! Heavens, they are actually being used as sacrifices to the Plague Demon King! "
These three people were also disciples of the Yuehua School.
They were the inner disciples who came to the Plague Valley to carry out a mission.
For a long time, there were rumors that they were missing or dead, but their bodies were never found. Who would have thought that they would be used as sacrifices?
This outcome was truly tragic.
"They're all dead. There's no saving them."
Ling Xiao sighed.
There were no signs of life on these three people. Only the remnants of their souls were still wailing.
But only he could see this.
"Look at that statue. Who is it?"
Looking up from the sacrificial table, there was a huge statue about ten meters tall.
"A blood-red robe that covers the sky, blood-red eyes that seem to see through everything, an Evil Heavenly Eye on his forehead that is terrifying, a god with three heads and six arms that can cause the deaths of countless martial artists, a pair of crimson horns on his head that seem to be able to pierce through the heavens, and his hair is also crimson, as if it is burning with raging flames … Could this be that person?!"
Wanyan Jun didn't even dare to mention that person's name. Just thinking about it made him tremble.
"The True Demon Emperor!"
Although Ling Xiao was also afraid, he was more determined than Wanyan Jun.
In fact, it was because he was already mentally prepared.
In fact, after seeing Valley Master Zhan and thinking about the Plague Demon King, he realized that this group of people was very likely to be the True Demon Emperor's subordinates.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Human King and the other powerful cultivators of the Sacred Dynasty suddenly disappeared.
After that, a group of terrifying forces appeared on the Heavenly Dragon Continent.
Within a day, they conquered several cities and created a country called the "True Demon Empire".
This news alarmed the twelve sects behind the Sacred Dynasty.
At that time, they thought that this was just a small problem, so they didn't take it too seriously. After all, in the history of the Sacred Dynasty, there were many rebels who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
