Then, everyone's attention was quickly diverted, because they encountered a few waves of evil spirits in a row. Although the number of evil spirits in each wave wasn't small, the thirteen of them were the elites of the elites, so the evil spirits didn't cause much damage to them.
Only one of them was accidentally scratched by an evil spirit, but this kind of scratch was a trivial matter to them.
After killing these waves of evil spirits, four hours passed quietly in the slightly tense atmosphere.
But in these four hours, they didn't even see the shadow of the evil spirit, and they were clearly getting further and further away from the cave they were in.
Although they were far away, the environment they were in didn't seem much different from before. It was still one cave after another, and the cave was still filled with the stench of decay.
After so long, not even the shadow of the evil spirit could be seen. Hua Haotian couldn't help but frown and look at Luo Hu, "Luo Hu, are you going in the right direction?"
Luo Hu said helplessly, "Senior Haotian, the evil spirit's whereabouts are too hard to track. We can't pinpoint its exact location at all."
Linlong also nodded to himself, because he didn't know if the evil spirit had suffered from his tracking before or what. Even though he secretly sent out the Spirit Monkey, he still didn't get any accurate information.
If that wasn't the case, he definitely would've told these people to change their direction.
"Then what should we do?" Peng Fei couldn't help but ask.
"Continue tracking," Hua Haotian said, then looked at Luo Hu, "Luo Hu, bring out your strongest ability."
If they returned without any results, it would be very difficult for them to kill this evil spirit and complete the sect leader's mission.
Most importantly, the energy stored in the pagoda for more than a hundred years was also limited. If they didn't kill all the evil spirits on the fourth floor in this limited time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If the situation wasn't serious, they might be able to escape unscathed. If the situation was serious, not only would they die in this pagoda, but even the spirit of the evil spirit would be released. When that happened, the entire Zi Yang Sect would be doomed.
"Senior Haotian, I'll do my best," Luo Hu hurriedly said.
Then, under Luo Hu's lead, the group quickly passed through the same two caves.
After that, everyone was immediately stunned, because in front of them was no longer a cave, but a place of darkness that seemed to have no boundaries. This place seemed to be a boundless swamp.
In this swamp, the rancid smell was even stronger. At the same time, there was a thick fog floating above the swamp.
Such a swamp immediately caused everyone to stop moving forward. After all, no one could guarantee that there were no dangerous things in the swamp.
"Luo Hu, what's going on?" Hua Haotian asked.
The others also focused their attention on Luo Hu.
"I can't sense that evil spirit's activity around here," Luo Hu said.
His words immediately disappointed everyone.
However, at this time, Luo Hu suddenly changed the topic, "Although I don't feel the evil spirit's activity nearby, I can feel an aura that is different from other places."
"So what if it's different? If we can't find that evil spirit, isn't it useless?" Someone immediately shook his head.
A sharp-eyed person suddenly shouted in surprise, "Look, what's that?"
Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction that person pointed. After the fog dissipated slightly, an altar made of eerie white bones was revealed.
This altar wasn't big, but it was completely made out of white bones. These white bones were obviously human bones, densely packed together.
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces became somewhat pale. Although they had seen things made out of human bones, they had never seen an altar made out of so many human bones.
The altar was completely white, and it looked extremely strange in this incomparably dark swamp. Moreover, they couldn't see any living beings on the altar at all. It was completely white.
"Where did so many human bones come from?" Someone asked subconsciously.
"I'm afraid these are the bones of our fellow sect brothers who have fallen here in the past few hundred years," someone replied.
"Seems like that's the case." This answer immediately received the agreement of everyone present.
The reason why they thought so was because the bones of the Purple Sun Sect's disciples who had fallen here were rarely found by the sect members. Since there was an altar like this here, it was most likely made out of their bones.
After confirming this, everyone gasped again. It was conceivable that if they had fallen here, they would definitely have become a part of this altar.
"Senior Brother Haotian, what do we do now?" Qi Zhengde asked Hua Haotian.
"Since there's an altar like this here, it's most likely the evil spirit's lair. We'll go and hide in the altar. If that evil spirit appears, we'll swarm it and kill it," Hua Haotian said calmly.
Seeing Hua Haotian like this, Linlong couldn't help but nod slightly. It seemed that Hua Haotian, as the number one on the Heaven Leaderboard, was also different from the others.
"What if there are many evil spirits around the altar? Wouldn't we be walking right into a trap?" Someone couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Don't worry, I can feel that there shouldn't be any evil spirits around the altar," Hua Haotian said.
"Who knows, there might be some kind of rare treasure inside the altar." Hearing Hua Haotian's words, some people's eyes immediately lit up.
After all, this pagoda was left behind by the sect master. It was very likely that there was such a treasure inside.
This immediately made many people eager to give it a try. Even their fear of the evil spirit was temporarily thrown to the back of their minds.
After that, except for one or two people who objected, the rest agreed to go to the altar.
Next, everyone immediately began to walk towards the altar. Because this place looked incomparably strange, they were very cautious and cautious.
Although Hua Haotian said that there was no danger around the altar, who could guarantee that there might even be evil spirits hiding in the swamp?
The swamp was a land of death for ordinary people, but it posed no obstacle for the 13 of them. Since they were all Martial Masters, they could easily walk on it.
This swamp looked incomparably quiet, with only some black water flowing within it.
After walking for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they still didn't encounter any danger. This made them, who were originally on tenterhooks, heave a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, in the swamp in the middle of the team, a black hand suddenly stretched out from the swamp and grabbed the ankle of the person closest to it.
By the time that person realized it, it was already too late. The black hand had already dragged half of his body into the swamp.
The two people closest to that person immediately swung their palms at the black hand.
Bang! Bang!
After such a loud explosion, the black hand released that person's ankle. That person crawled out of the swamp, still in a state of shock.
Originally, he was rather fast, but at this moment, he was equivalent to half a mud man.
This situation immediately made everyone cautious. All of them nervously looked at their feet. Fortunately, there were no more black hands appearing.
"Yang Kaiyu, are you alright?" Peng Fei immediately asked.
"It should be … no big deal." Yang Kaiyu said as he rolled up his trousers. With one look, everyone immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. They saw that his calf had actually been grabbed by two large pieces of flesh. Some parts of his calf were even soaked in mud. His blood and mud were mixed together.
"Hurry up and take some healing medicine." Hua Haotian frowned and said.
Yang Kaiyu quickly took out a healing medicine and swallowed it.
At this moment, Peng Fei and Wang Han squatted at the place where Yang Kaiyu was, seriously looking at the place where the black hand came from.
"Did you find anything?" Someone asked.
Wang Han shook his head. "I didn't find anything strange. It's probably an evil spirit hiding in the swamp. However, it was directly killed by the two palms just now."
At this moment, Peng Fei suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed downwards. After a splashing sound, Peng Fei actually grabbed a Pure Yang Essence from the mud.
"Looks like it really is an evil spirit." Seeing this Pure Yang Essence, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
If it were any other monster, they wouldn't be able to understand it at all. If it was an evil spirit that they knew about, it would be relatively easier to deal with.
After that, Hua Haotian said, "Guo Lin, carry Yang Kaiyu and continue forward. The people in front and behind should pay attention to each other."
Although Guo Lin was unwilling, since Hua Haotian had already named him, he didn't dare to refuse. He could only obediently carry Yang Kaiyu.
In the following journey, they encountered quite a number of evil spirits hiding in the swamp. However, due to their cautiousness, no one was injured like before.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, everyone finally arrived in front of the altar.
Looking at the altar, even though everyone was a powerful martial artist, they still felt a chill in their hearts. It was only when they silently recited the Pure Yang Cultivation Method that the chill was dispelled.
This altar was definitely not something simple. Such a thought immediately emerged in their minds.
Such a situation naturally made them even more cautious.
Hua Haotian didn't ask them to immediately climb up the altar. Instead, he asked them to carefully walk around the altar. Only when he discovered that there was no danger did he ask them to climb up the altar together.
Those who originally wanted to find some treasure on the altar were immediately disappointed when they climbed up the altar. This was because there was nothing else on the altar other than the white bones.
At this moment, Hua Haotian's expression suddenly changed. "Not good. I seem to sense something powerful coming this way. Everyone, quickly hide in the altar." At this moment, Hua Haotian's expression suddenly changed.
