Chapter 228: Encounter (First Update!Ask for Subscription!)
The temperature around them was getting higher and higher, and Qin Ming and the others had already had to use Yuan Li to isolate the hot air.
With every breath, there is a burning pain in the lungs.
"There's someone up ahead!"
On the dusty ground, there are some clear and messy footprints.
There are not many people, about ten people.
"Hurry up!"
Qin Ming said in a low voice.
......
Lin Dong and the others struggled to shuttle through the narrow stone crevices for an unknown amount of time, and finally the front of them suddenly became clear.
In front of Lin Dong was a small but very flat stone wall.
Under the stone wall, there is also a staircase. Where the staircase led, Lin Dong didn't know.
But there's no doubt that there's definitely someone here. The neat stairs were even cleaned not so long ago.
Lin Dong raised his head, and at this time, directly above them was almost the location of Dongxuan City. It seems that there is a problem with this Yuanmen.
Only when conclusive evidence is found will the rest of the sects be convinced!
Lin Dong still needs to continue to explore.
When his left foot stepped on the top of the stairs, a cold and bone-chilling feeling instantly poured into Lin Dong's heart.
The cold, as if it was about to freeze Lin Dong's soul.
Lin Dong looked at it, and his complexion suddenly changed slightly.
The material used to make this ladder turned out to be Netherworld Iron. Legend has it that the Netherworld Iron only appears at the entrance to the Netherworld, and it has the power of the Netherworld, which can directly cross people's souls to the Netherworld.
Could it be that the end of this staircase is the entrance to the underworld?
Lin Dong couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Only pure soul bodies can set foot in the underworld and enter reincarnation. And although they are affected by the power of the Netherworld, they still have control over their bodies. If the end here is not the underworld, then there is only one possibility, and it is a sacrificial ritual.
What kind of sacrificial ritual it is can only be found out when we go down.
Lin Dong gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go down and have a look. However, he did not take the disciples of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace down, but left them on this flat stone wall. After all, if there is really an emergency, he can get out of it himself.
......
"Someone!"
As soon as Qin Ming squeezed out the crack in the stone, he found several figures sitting on the stone wall in front of him.
Fortunately, Qin Ming's movements were not large, and they did not attract their attention.
Qin Ming motioned to the three elders not to make a sound, and left everything to him.
Immediately, Qin Ming slowly urged the Yuan Force in his body and hid in the darkness.
"Click!"
There was a slight sound in the air, and one of them was directly twisted by the neck.
The sound of broken bones came out clearly and fell on the ears of everyone present.
The disciple closest to that disciple was obviously startled, and looked at the body that was lying limply on the stone wall, and was stunned at first.
He squirmed two steps forward and pressed his finger to the disciple's nose.
"Dead?"
The disciple was shocked.
The cave was pitch black, and they couldn't see it, and they wanted to explore their surroundings, but they could only rely on their only divine sense. However, in this cave, the power of divine consciousness seemed to be suppressed by an inexplicable force, and he could only see the surrounding area in a radius of about three zhang.
Within the scope of their divine sense, there was no one else except their disciples of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.
Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the person who shot is very good at concealment, and even they can't find it. The second possibility is that the cultivation realm of the person who made the move is much higher than theirs.
Either way, it's not a good thing for them.
The remaining eight people formed a circle, each of them observing the surroundings with a high degree of vigilance.
But in front of Qin Ming, this is like a fictitious existence.
Two more palms were slapped out, and the two disciples of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace were directly killed.
At this time, the remaining disciples finally understood that they were no match for those who were hiding in the shadows.
The next moment, they rushed down the steps.
"Let's go, keep chasing!"
Although Qin Ming didn't know what the function of this ladder was, it was obvious that the three elders behind him clearly understood.
Before Qin Ming could speak, the anxious expressions of the two of them even surpassed Qin Ming's.
As soon as Qin Ming's words fell, the figures of the three of them floated directly into the depths of the stairs.
It seems that this ladder is extremely important for Yuanmen.
Qin Ming naturally couldn't stay outside all the time, so he raised his legs and followed.
The stairs were not long, but the dark Yuan Force in them made Qin Ming feel a little uncomfortable. He naturally recognized the Netherworld Xuantie, and he didn't expect that the Yuanmen heritage would be so profound. Such a large piece of Netherworld Dark Iron was enough to cast hundreds of Heavenly Rank Spirit Treasures.
And now, this Netherworld Iron is actually placed here as a staircase. Then there is only one explanation, and what is under this ladder is definitely not simple.
Qin Ming groped around the corpses on the ground for a while, and there were no items on their bodies that could prove their identity.
But Qin Ming found that these three people were all women dressed as men.
The vitality cultivation of these three people is all around the seven-element nirvana realm. Judging by their bones, these three people are not very old.
Only the eight super sects that can meet such conditions.
Among the eight super sects, only the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace has more female disciples.
Could it be that these people are from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace?
They seemed to be waiting for someone on top of the stone wall.
Could it be Lin Dong?
It was no accident that the disciples of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace appeared here.
Intuition told Qin Ming that Lin Dong must be here!
At this time, the three elders of the Yuanmen also didn't care about hiding their figures, and chased after them directly.
After all, the secret must not be known by anyone.
Qin Ming also walked down the stairs, his speed was not fast, and he could occasionally see several corpses along the way.
They were all killed with one hit, and they were the same as the outfits of the people Qin Ming had killed before. Qin Ming opened his chest and saw that it was indeed a woman dressed as a man again.
These disciples of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace should have all died at the hands of the Yuanmen elders.
Qin Ming's pace quickened, and Lin Dong was unknown.
"Bang!"
Qin Ming's feet were empty, and the whole person was planted directly.
During the violent descent, the short knife in Qin Ming's hand suddenly embedded in the stone wall.
Qin Ming's divine sense swept away, and there was a slightly flat stone wall not far away. With a strong step, Qin Ming jumped directly onto the flat stone wall.
Fortunately, Qin Ming reacted quickly, otherwise he would have fallen into this abyss and fell into flesh. Qin Ming looked down and couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
Since his divine consciousness was oppressed by an unknown force, Qin Ming could only look down with his naked eyes. It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
"What about them?"
Qin Ming couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
If the disciples of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace fled in a hurry and fell to the bottom of the deep valley, Qin Ming still believed it. But what about the three Yuanmen elders? Why are they gone?
"Is it a phantom array?"
Qin Ming reacted immediately.
Feeling the dark valley bottom, Qin Ming's face couldn't help but be a little solemn.
"This phantom array, I'm afraid it wasn't set up by Yuanmen. "Hundred Platings" The Latest Chapter of "The Great Villain Claw Book House Through the Heavens" is free to read for the first time.
