That valley was still a hundred miles away from Majestic Fox Mountain, in between the mountain ranges were undulating, ordinary people to reach Majestic Fox Mountain from here, most likely would need at least half a month but to Taoist Cang Song and Jin PingEr who could fly on their swords, it was less than half a day's work.
Just that when they flew near that mountain, it was like being punched in the face, even Jin PingEr who had been deep in thought, was also shocked speechless. As they slowly descended, everything before them gradually became clear, that once towering Majestic Fox Mountain right now had disappeared, on the huge mountain, a huge abyss appeared, from afar they could hear the roars of scorching lava, and from that abyss shot out numerous strange red lights, shooting towards the sky, like the images of the legendary evil demons.
In the air, a thick and pungent smell of blood permeated the air.
"What's going on, what happened?"
Taoist Cang Song muttered, landed on the ground and looked around, within a radius of ten miles around the abyss, it was shrouded by that strange red light. The trees that were originally lush with foliage, right now were all withered, leaving only withered tree trunks standing erect on the ground, the situation was extremely horrifying.
Taoist Cang Song looked around, in the midst of his fear, suddenly Jin PingEr's voice was heard beside him, she gave a soft 'Yi' sound, showing some surprise. Taoist Cang Song looked at her, saw Jin PingEr pointing to the right ahead, quietly said, "Look there."
Taoist Cang Song followed her finger and looked over, was also stunned, the red light in that direction swayed, several figures walked out from the red light, looking closely, these people were all strong men, their clothes and accessories, it was the Evil Sect Ghost King Sect uniform, seemed like they were all Ghost King Sect disciples.
Taoist Cang Song then heaved a sigh of relief, seemed like this Majestic Fox Mountain had really undergone a huge change during his absence but thinking about it, with Ghost King's ability, nothing could stump him, looking at these Ghost King Sect disciples, most likely Ghost King Sect did not suffer much damage.
At this time, a group of Ghost King Sect disciples who seemed to be patrolling also noticed the two of them, turned and walked over, Taoist Cang Song went up to them, loudly said, "I am Cang Song, what happened here?"
Jin PingEr did not speak, she stared intently at the red blood figure that shrouded the abyss like a light screen and then quietly followed behind Taoist Cang Song, her brows tightly frowned, watching those Ghost King sect disciples who were approaching.
As the two sides came closer, the dozens of people were indeed the disciples of the Ghost King Sect. The leader of the group nodded to Cang Song and bowed, but for some reason, his movements looked a little stiff. He opened his mouth and said: "Greetings … Uh … Taoist …"
Taoist Cang Song frowned, this Ghost King sect disciple's intonation was rather strange, his words paused after paused, together with his stiff movements, he looked like a wooden man, not knowing where he was transferred from, he actually did not look like one.
But right now Taoist Cang Song could not be bothered, said directly, "Where is Ghost King sect head, we have something to report to him."
That Ghost King Sect disciple still had that stiff look, slowly turned and pointed to the depths of that red light screen, said, "Sect head, uh, inside, uh … waited for you for a long time … uh."
Taoist Cang Song was extremely impatient, hearing this person's words really took up his energy, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, you lead the way."
That Ghost King Sect disciple nodded, turned and walked, his mouth slowly said, "Yes … uh!"
The group of them again walked towards that abyss, Taoist Cang Song initially wanted to ask what was going on with this sudden huge change but the few sentences just now completely destroyed his patience, asking such a stiff Ghost King Sect disciple was really like suffering, might as well directly ask Ghost King sect head later.
Jin PingEr followed behind them, walking slowly, her eyes quietly watching those Ghost King Sect disciples around her, other than their movements being slightly stiff, they were no different from ordinary people, there was nothing strange about them but Jin PingEr's inexplicable vigilance instead became heavier.
As they gradually walked into that abyss, getting closer to the red light, Jin PingEr suddenly discovered that the eyes of those Ghost King Sect disciples walking beside her suddenly started to turn faint red, like dark red blood, and all of their movements, started to no longer be stiff, slowly became light and quick.
Instead it seemed like that red light screen, gave them some kind of strength.
Getting closer and closer to that strange red light screen, looked like it was only two zhangs away, Taoist Cang Song suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness, just that he himself could not explain this sudden feeling. At this moment, suddenly a light cry was heard from behind, everyone turned and looked, Jin PingEr who was perfectly fine just now suddenly sat on the ground, her hand clutching her chest, panting and coughing loudly, her face pale, looked like she was in great pain.
Taoist Cang Song was shocked, said, "What happened to you?"
Jin PingEr panted a few times, shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "This is an old problem, sometimes I am like this, suddenly there is a sharp pain in my chest and then the pain will last for almost an hour and then it will be fine again. This problem has been cured for many years, didn't expect it to act up again today. "
Taoist Cang Song was stunned for a moment, said, "Then now you … what will you do?"
Jin PingEr looked very tired, quietly said, "I am fine, I will be fine after a rest. How about this, you go in and report to Ghost King sect head first, I will be right behind. "
Taoist Cang Song frowned, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then that is the only way, have a good rest yourself."
Jin PingEr weakly smiled and said, "Many thanks priest."
Taoist Cang Song snorted, turned and walked forward, with Jin PingEr's sudden interruption, he had forgotten the uneasiness in his heart. The dozens of Ghost King sect disciples behind him seemed to be in a little confusion, it seemed that although their bodies were no longer stiff but their brains were still not sharp, their red eyes swept here and there, in the end most of them still followed Taoist Cang Song, leaving only two people standing beside Jin PingEr.
Jin PingEr sat on the ground, coughed and panted as she watched that large group of people escorting Taoist Cang Song into that stretch of blood-coloured light, after which, there was no more sound.
Her head slowly drooped down, her panting slowly became hurried again but her hidden gaze, suddenly became clear and bright. Taoist Cang Song did not know, that not long ago in that valley, behind the woods upstream of the stream, Jin PingEr saw some corpses of Ghost King sect disciples, and the way they died, Jin PingEr would never forget it.
Because a long time ago, she had seen it with her own eyes during the demon beast catastrophe that engulfed the world.
And right now, those Ghost King sect disciples standing beside her, their eyes indistinctly glinted with blood-red light, almost the same as those crazy demon beasts, although she did not know why and these Ghost King sect disciples were not as crazy as the demon beasts but Jin PingEr had already made up her mind, she must not walk into that red light.
Inside, there was a terrible presence.
This was her intuition.
Jin PingEr's panting became louder and louder, the two Ghost King sect disciples standing beside her seemed indifferent, seemed to be indifferent to what was happening around them but after a moment, suddenly a strange sound was heard from behind them, like some stone hitting the ground. Jin PingEr faced the direction of the sound and then her countenance changed greatly, stood up and hoarsely said, "What, why are you here too?"
The two Ghost King sect disciples were shocked, saw Jin PingEr was so shocked, couldn't help but turned around, who knew after they turned around, it was empty behind them, there was nothing at all, not to mention a human figure, not even a stone figure, it was like they had seen a ghost. The two of them could not make heads or tails of it, turned around and wanted to question Jin PingEr, unexpectedly when they turned around, Jin PingEr who was standing behind them had also disappeared, as if she had never appeared at this place, leaving behind an empty land.
The two Ghost King sect disciples were shocked, looked at each other and then shouted but their voices did not sound like human voices, more like the roars of wild beasts. After circling twice, the two of them turned and dashed into the red light.
Far away, Jin PingEr behind a large stone slowly revealed her figure, that escape seemed simple but in fact it had used up all of her wits and skills, until now, she then slowly heaved a sigh of relief and realized that her forehead was full of cold sweat.
Just that before she could relax, suddenly, deep inside that red light, a painful cry was heard, it was Taoist Cang Song's voice, Jin PingEr's body shook and immediately shrunk behind the stone to hide. Taoist Cang Song's cry although sharp but very quickly it became weaker and disappeared, what followed was a rumbling maniacal laughter, that voice was filled with madness, as if everything in this world would be trampled under his feet, the mountains also trembled, the echoes rumbling.
Jin PingEr's face turned pale, her body actually started to tremble, although the voice had changed but she clearly understood, it was Ghost King's laughter.
A thousand miles away, Qing Yun Hill TongTian Peak, Founders Ancestral Hall at the back of the mountain.
This place was still as peaceful as usual, the majestic and imposing hall was situated in the forest, emitting a solemn atmosphere. The dense forest was quiet, bird cries clear and melodious, travelled over from afar, indistinctly in the dim hall, that little bit of incense in the shadows could be seen.
Lin JingYu raised his head and looked at the sky, the sky above his head was azure blue, not a cloud in ten thousand li, the warm sunlight shone on his body, bringing with it a comfortable warmth, from the dark green Dragon Slayer Sword hanging at his waist, it reflected beautiful and ever-changing rays of light.
Seemed like today was a good day.
He watched for a while, his lips slowly revealed a trace of smile which he had not seen for a long time, then picked up the broom in his hand and started to sweep the empty space in front of Founders Ancestral Hall.
Ever since that mysterious old man passed away, Qing Yun Hill had undergone several changes but under the drastic changes, no one noticed this secluded corner which had long stood aloof from worldly affairs, and Lin JingYu instead seemed to be sentimentally attached to this place, maybe it was because of that old man, anyway unknowingly, under many people's tacit approval, Lin JingYu became the successor to guard Founders Ancestral Hall here.
The withered yellow leaves, under the brandishing of the broom, rolled up one by one and swept to one side, Lin JingYu quietly swept, doing what he had to do every day. The forest was quiet, a gentle breeze blew, but not knowing if this kind of life, would it be more peaceful than the past.
