I laughed and changed the subject: "By the way, what are you doing here? Do you know that this is a secret stronghold hidden in the world, which is very dangerous? If it weren't for me, you would have fallen into the hands of those people." ”

"I know!" Li Xue responded, a trace of strong hatred appeared on her face at this moment, clenched her pink fists, and said fiercely: "Two months ago, they arrested my senior brother, and I traced it all the way to find here.."

She then recounted to me what had happened.

It turned out that two months ago, Li Xue and his senior brother, when they were training in this area, encountered a hidden person, when Li Xue's senior brother was captured and taken away alive by them, and Li Xue escaped, that senior brother was very good to Li Xue, and in the Tian Li Sect took care of Li Xue, in Li Xue's heart, it was like a brother.

So after the senior brother was arrested, Li Xue was panicked and anxious. After adjusting his condition, he probed it alone.

Speaking of this, Li Xue took out a brocade silk and said slowly: "This is where my senior brother fought with them at that time, and I followed the clues above to find this place!"

Hearing this, I was silent, looked at her with admiration, and at the same time was a little curious: "You are really bold enough, since you are your senior brother and were arrested by them, why don't you ask your master for help?"

Li Xue's eyes darkened, and she said faintly: "Master has been in the imperial city of Qingyun Kingdom during this time, in the past few years, because of the decline of the Tianli Sect, Master is full of thoughts about how to revitalize the sect and regain the reuse of the royal family, plus the relationship between Senior Brother and Master has not been good, so..."

"So you tracked it down by yourself, I have to say, I admire your courage!" I smiled and said, "But according to my understanding of the Youtian Yin Organization, your senior brother was captured by them, and there were only two results, one was to join the Youtian Yin and become their person, and the other... He's dead.."

I'm not talking about it, her senior brother has been arrested for nearly two months, and life and death are definitely unpredictable.

"My senior brother won't die, he is a good person, and good people have good rewards!" and hearing my words, Li Xue glared at me angrily and argued loudly.

I didn't bother to argue with her, but secretly said in my heart: It's a pity that good people don't live long...

Then I looked around: "Okay, let's not talk about that, let's search here and see if we can find clues about your senior brother." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xue nodded, instantly refreshed, and took the lead towards the depths of the woods in front of her.

This valley surrounded by mountains is not large, and in a few minutes, we explored it all, and at that moment, when we arrived at the center point, we saw the scene in front of us, and Li Xue and I froze.

The center point is a flat open space, a hexagonal wooden platform is built on the open space, around the wooden platform, there are six black wooden pillars, more than three meters high, on the wooden platform, is arranged as an altar, giving people a feeling, indescribable weird and terrifying...

And on the six wooden pillars around it, on each of them, there was a person tied to it.

Not a human being anymore, to be exact. Only one piece of skin was left on the skeleton, the head was so drooping, and the six people were in different shapes, but the withered facial expressions were extremely frightened, as if they had suffered extremely terrible things in their lives.

And their wrinkled skin also showed a burnt black color, but judging from the surrounding marks, there was no sign of fire at all.

Nima:

Seeing this scene, I can't tell what mood I feel, I just feel that the breeze in my ears is cold. Then I noticed that the clothes on these dried corpses were all disciples of some sects, but there were no traces of being cut open between their lower abdomen, but the Holy Pill was gone, as if they had been sucked up by someone in the air...

After gradually relieving my senses, it suddenly occurred to me that before those ghost-faced people left, they all said that the sacrifice had been completed, could this be the case...

Suddenly, a chill rushed to my head from the soles of my feet, and my whole body was faintly trembling, I didn't know whether it was anger or inexplicable panic.

And Li Xue next to her, seeing the scene in front of her, the whole person was also stupid, looking at the dried corpses in front of her blankly, it took two minutes for her to come back to her senses, but at this time, her tears welled up, her face was full of endless sadness, and she rushed towards one of the dried corpses.

"Senior brother..."

When she threw herself in front of the dry corpse, Li Xue's hands trembled, clutching the loose clothes on the dry corpse, still crying.

Alas!

I sighed secretly in my heart, to be honest, after learning that Li Xue's senior brother was arrested, I was very unoptimistic about this unmasked person, but because of Li Xue's relationship, I looked forward to it, he had better be safe, but at this moment, seeing Li Xue find his body, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, a little uncomfortable, and a little embarrassed.

I didn't bother Lixue, but walked slowly towards the altar.

When I got to the top, I saw that on the altar, there were some used spells scattered together, and the runes on it were all dimmed because they had been used, and the lines could no longer be seen.

But in an inconspicuous corner, I found another brocade silk.

This kind of brocade silk should be a hidden organization, transmitting messages to each other, and issuing some kind of secret mission, used, and sometimes, it will be used as a special token. It seems that those ghost-faced people left in a hurry, and they didn't have time to clean up this place.

Because the light was dim, I couldn't see what was written on the brocade silk, so I put it away, and at this time, Li Xue was still holding the dry corpse of the senior brother, crying constantly, very sad.

I walked around again, found nothing else, and walked up to Lixue, looked at the frightened corpse in front of me, and silently prayed for him.

And in my mind, at this time, it also came to mind, when I first came into contact with this hidden organization, in the secret cave where the ghost flame was, the ghost flame at that time, used the child as an introduction to refine the scene of the evil elixir.... It is the same evil and cruel as the evil altar scene in front of him.

This evil organization should not exist in this world in the first place, if it is not eradicated as soon as possible, I don't know how many people will die tragically at their hands in the future.

For a while, I secretly gritted my teeth, clenched my fists, and said in my heart.

"I'm going to kill them... Kill them.. Woo.." And at this time, Li Xue also said with great sadness and indignation.

Listening to her cry, I calmed down and looked at the evil altar in front of me again, thinking in my heart: What is the purpose of them to capture these disciples of the cultivation sect, kill them in this evil way, and also absorb the power of their dantian?

Thinking about it like this, the doubts in my heart are getting deeper and deeper.

Half an hour later, I helped Lixue bury his brother's dry corpse, and at the same time buried the other dry corpses on the spot.

With my comfort, Li Xue's mood calmed down, but there was a lingering hatred on her coquettish face at the moment.

"Aren't you trying to find out their main altar? I'm with you!" Li Xue said as she walked out of this secret valley, looking at me very seriously.

"You're going to scout with me?" I paused, watching her speak.

Li Xue nodded heavily: "Well, I want to avenge my senior brother!"

Looking at her unquestioning expression, I smiled bitterly: "Don't make trouble, my mission is very dangerous, and you know how terrifying this organization is." Saying that, I thought of Di Xin's perverted strength, and there was a trace of bitterness in my heart: "I advise you to go back to the imperial city to find your master, wait until I find the clues I have, and after returning to the empress, wait until the royal family hides against Youming, I am calling you together." ”

After a pause, I breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm just investigating now, and I can't expose myself, so it's dangerous!"

"No, you're going to join you—" However, Lixue decided on her decision and ignored my dissuasion.

I had no choice but to let her follow, but I also explained to her that all our actions after that must obey my orders, without the slightest disobedience, let alone private action.

If it was according to Li Xue's personality, she would definitely not agree, but in order to avenge her senior brother, she decisively nodded and agreed.

Soon, after leaving the valley, we went outside, taking advantage of the darkness, through the abandoned stronghold, and headed into the distance.

Along the way, I carefully inquired about Li Xue, and learned from her that she, like me, only knew the stronghold we left just now, and didn't know anything else, and besides, in order to find this stronghold, it took her more than a month to find it.

Hearing this, I was very depressed.

Originally, I thought that Li Xue had clues on her that I didn't know, but it turned out that I didn't know as much.

Depressed, I decided to find a place to rest first.

Two hours later, as the night deepened, a bright moon hung above the night sky, and under the silver moonlight, a bonfire was being lit next to a babbling stream.

On both sides of the bonfire, Li Xue and I sat there, with a sound of grease, a smell of fish also wafted around, and I saw that Li Xue was holding two strings of fish, which were carefully roasted.

Soon, seeing that it was almost roasted, Lixue handed me a bunch.

I was also unceremoniously, took it, took a bite, only felt that the entrance was delicious, nodded and praised: "I didn't expect that you are not very old, and your baking skills are not bad!"

"I used to go out alone, and this kind of thing is nothing to me!" Li Xuebai glanced at me and ate it in small bites, looking very proud.

I smiled, rolled my eyes, and teased: "Before, I thought it was too reckless to take you and investigate together, but now that I think about it, it seems that it's not bad to take you, there is an exclusive chef by your side, and she is still a little beauty, tsk..."

"Lin Bai, if you are so unserious, you will spit out my grilled fish!" Hearing my words, Li Xue's face turned pale, and she said fiercely, and at the same time, she also made a gesture to snatch the grilled fish in my hand.

I hurriedly urged the figure to snatch it over, and then waved my hand: "Okay, just kidding, what are you so excited about!"

Seeing me say this, Li Xue glanced at me and sat down again.
