Just as the two of them continued to search for the entrance to the basement mentioned by the Earth God, a terrifying aura suddenly rose from the ground.
Qin Xingyan's pretty face turned pale. "No, it seems that the devil is about to break free!"
It was impossible for the mastermind not to know that they were here. After all, the mastermind had already sent out the corpse puppets to stop Xu Shenxing.
But now, the mastermind didn't seem to want to hide at all. His confident appearance showed that he had nothing to fear.
"Over here."
Xu Shenxing's eyes lit up and he quickly walked in the direction of the aura.
"Have you found the entrance?" Qin Xingyan quickly followed Xu Shenxing's footsteps.
"No."
However, Xu Shenxing's words made the girl stagger and she almost knocked her head on the rotten door frame.
"Then where do you plan to go?"
"Of course I'm going directly to the place where that guy is. We don't have time to continue looking for the entrance."
While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the place where the aura was the strongest.
Then, Xu Shenxing took a deep breath and stomped his foot hard. The cement floor collapsed and Qin Xingyan, who was unprepared and couldn't help but scream, fell into the basement together with him.
Qin Xingyan, who was dizzy from the fall, was still coughing because of the smoke and dust in the air. Then, he heard Xu Shenxing beside him say in a deep voice, "There's a witness and material evidence. It seems that this time, you're the murderer."
Then, the girl looked around and found that this was a space as big as an underground parking lot. She didn't know why the developer had dug such a big basement.
Xu Shenxing and Qin Xingyan landed in the middle of the basement, a little to the west. Not far away, there was an altar in the middle of the basement. There was a table and all kinds of sacrificial tools on it.
Behind the table was a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. His face was gloomy, his eyes were sunken, his cheekbones were protruding high, and his body was thin and long. He looked like a gloomy skeleton covered with a layer of human skin.
At this moment, he seemed to be shocked by this unconventional entrance. He held a black horsetail whisk and didn't know what to do.
Nine crystal coffins were placed around the altar, in which the missing girls were placed.
Judging from the rising and falling of their chests, these girls were still alive.
Qin Xingyan heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Great Demon King had not escaped yet.
According to the law of conservation, when someone was relaxed, others would be nervous.
Qiao Hui was the nervous one.
He was the one with the best talent in this generation's Ghost Dao circle. After accidentally obtaining the inheritance of the Shadow Corpse Desolate Space, he had already passed the optimal age for cultivation, but it only took him ten years to reach the level of mastery.
However, the ghost circle was harmful to the harmony of heaven and earth. Once he started cultivating, he couldn't avoid being contaminated with corpse poison and death gas. Because of the abundant spiritual energy in ancient times, the ghost circle advanced very quickly. After his cultivation reached a certain level, he could turn this corpse poison and death gas into a whetstone to polish his own skills, so that his skills could become more profound day by day.
But now, it was the end of the Age of Chaos. Moreover, Qiao Hui had passed the best age when he started cultivating the ghost circle. After all, he came from an unorthodox background, so some of his techniques were naturally different from the original version. Even if he was extremely talented in the ghost circle, he couldn't avoid suffering from the corpse poison and death gas. Seeing that his cultivation was insufficient and his life was about to end, he could only travel all over the world to find a way to prolong his life and relieve this pain.
Then, when he passed by Jiang Jin, he heard a call from the other side of the world.
The call that resonated with his technique made Qiao Hui very curious, and he began to investigate the strange things that happened in Jiang Jin in the cultivation world. In the end, he found that there was a predecessor in the ghost circle who opened the entrance to the underworld on this land. According to seniority, the predecessor who could be considered his ancestor even used his physical body to sneak into the underworld to seize the power of a hundred ghosts. This kind of cultivation could be considered shocking in today's world.
If it was that ancestor, he might be able to solve his body's predicament.
This hope, coupled with the influence of the call from the unseen, made Qiao Hui finally make up his mind. He didn't hesitate to risk being discovered by the people of the secular world and being surrounded by people of the righteous path to sneak into Jiang Jin to undo the seal of his ancestor.
Qiao Hui, who had started cultivating in his thirties and had been cultivating for more than ten years, was naturally much calmer and more cunning than that little girl Qin Xingyan. When he did things, he didn't have any loopholes.
Walking a hundred steps and half ninety, since he had already reached the final step, naturally he could not afford to make any mistakes. He had set up restrictions all around this basement, and had also worked tirelessly to reinforce the walls and ceiling again and again. He was confident that even if a Righteous Faction person whose cultivation was higher than his by a level came, he would be able to resist for a while.
But he didn't expect that it would be trampled by someone …
But now it was too late.
Qiao Hui, who came back to his senses, fiercely smashed the horsetail whisk in his hand on the table.
With a loud bang, the basement shook violently, and the momentum that filled the entire basement surged. Finally, under Qin Xingyan's incredulous gaze, a purple flame appeared behind Qiao Hui out of thin air. Qiao Hui turned around and respectfully knelt in front of the flame.
"Disciple, the eighteenth generation successor of the ghost circle, respectfully requests the ancestor to come out!"
The purple flame jumped, and finally expanded with a whoosh, forming an arched door.
"Oh? It's already the eighteenth generation … "
An old voice came from the arched door formed by the flame.
Qin Xingyan wanted to use her sword to disperse the flame before the other party came out, but she found that her whole body was trembling uncontrollably, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. Not to mention controlling the sword, even stabilizing her mind was exceptionally difficult.
The devil's cultivation was so high that it was terrifying. He didn't even show his face. Separated by the two worlds, Qin Xingyan, who was at least one of the top five masters of the younger generation of the cultivation world, couldn't even move a finger!
This was no longer a problem of kicking an iron plate. Even if she took out a titanium alloy plate, it would be a big difference. At the very least, it should be at the level of Star Dark Iron, Gundam Alloy, or Oricha Steel …
"The human world, long time no see."
With this sigh, the great devil finally came out of the arched door of flame.
Different from the shriveled and thin old man Qin Xingyan had imagined at first, the other party's figure was extremely burly, as tall as two people, but his appearance was terrifying, as if he had come out of a nightmare.
His head was completely devoid of human shape, only a pure skeleton. The broken white tendons on his neck hung down unevenly, and for some reason, his jaw was long, and his mouth was T-shaped. His whole body was festering rotten flesh with thick dark red juice flowing out. Many parts of his body were hollowed out, and from those places, one could even see the rotten internal organs inside. Some of the rotten flesh was wrapped in a layer of hard skin that was black and shiny like an insect's shell, full of bumps.
The rotten flesh didn't grow well, and with every step, a part of it would fall off with thick juice. If one looked carefully, one could even see maggot-like worms wriggling in the rotten flesh.
Just looking at it made one's hair stand on end.
Qin Xingyan didn't know whether it was because he was frightened by the other party's appearance, or because he was overwhelmed by the other party's increasingly powerful momentum that had even produced black clouds. He suddenly knelt on the ground, gritting his teeth to keep himself from falling completely to the ground.
"Ancestor … this …!" Even Qiao Hui was frightened by the appearance of the devil, and he was a little incoherent.
Obviously, this was different from what he had imagined.
"Don't be afraid. All creatures in the world are like this. The flesh is just a bag of skin, and the soul is the true meaning."
The devil … or rather, the monster turned around and looked at Qiao Hui with empty eye sockets, making the latter involuntarily shiver.
"That's a lie. In fact, you're already dead, aren't you? "
Xu Shenxing's sudden words made the monster turn around. He bared his three-petaled jaw full of sharp teeth and stared at Xu Shenxing and the others, "Hehe, I didn't expect to find flesh and blood as soon as I returned to the human world, and it's a cultivator. It seems that the damned heavens have treated me well."
Qin Xingyan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
