Chapter 6: The Dark Thing
"Sir, how did I get here?"
The boy's voice full of doubts echoed through the cave, and the scene immediately fell silent.
The old man was silent, his wrinkled face expressionless, making it impossible to see what he was thinking at this time, and his eyes were as deep as stars, shining brightly.
He didn't want to tell him anything about the young man in front of him, because there were many hidden things involved.
But the almost crazy persistence that appeared in the young man's eyes before moved his heart.
After being silent for a moment, the old man suddenly glanced at Yuan Jing, then looked outside the cave, and said in a deep voice, "Look outside." ”
After struggling for a long time, he finally didn't hide Yuan Jing, because what he saw through Yuan Jing's eyes was a pure heart and no evil intentions, so he chose to believe Yuan Jing.
Hearing this, Yuan Jing was stunned, a little unclear, but he still slowly moved his gaze to the outside of the cave, and in the next moment, a shocked look appeared on his face.
"This is...?!"
Looking along Yuan Jing's line of sight, he saw that outside the cave, there was an incomparably vast open space, and the sunlight shone down from the sky, exposing the white corpses all over the place to the sunlight.
Among these corpses, there are huge giant beasts, and there are also extremely small rats, but without exception, these corpses are all wrapped in a layer of rotting skin, and the flesh and blood inside have long since disappeared.
Numerous corpses were piled up, exuding a terrifying whiteness, and an eerie aura enveloped the entire valley, making people feel as if they were in purgatory.
Among these many corpses, the sharp-eyed Yuan Jing also found more than a dozen familiar and unusual corpses, which fell horizontally and vertically everywhere, with no life, but the flesh and blood inside did not disappear, but they were just dead.
"Wolfhorns?!"
Seeing this, Yuan Jing couldn't help but exclaim, these dozen or so corpses turned out to be the wolf horn beasts that appeared that day!
"Familiar, right?"
The old man looked at the corpses piled up all over the ground outside, his face did not change, and he said indifferently: "This is the Yuan Beast that fell with you that day." ”
"What the hell is this, sir?"
Yuan Jing looked at the corpses all over the place outside the cave, looked horrified, and couldn't help but ask.
Such a terrifying scene, it was the first time in his life that he had seen it, even in the battle of the Xuantian Domain back then, the Yuan family's situation was not as tragic as this, there were corpses everywhere!
It can even be said that the situation in between the two is simply incomparable!
The old man did not answer Yuan Jing's question, his deep eyes seemed to contain stars, and he turned to stare at the opposite side of the cave, and his expression began to be a little trance.
On the opposite side of the cave, there was a pitch black color, faintly visible the outline of another cave, and if you looked closely, it was dark inside, with a strong evil aura stirring, exuding a terrifying abyss-like atmosphere.
The sunlight shining down from the sky was swallowed up by the evil aura that stirred up around the cave, making the whole cave forever hidden in darkness.
"The source of all problems is there. The old man looked at the darkness, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said.
When Yuan Jing heard this, he felt a little confused, and then followed the old man's gaze.
And when Yuan Jing saw that darkness, his body suddenly trembled, and his eyes gradually became dull, only to feel that there was an abyss in that darkness, with many demons and demons, pulling and devouring his mind!
At this moment, an old and powerful hand put on Yuan Jing's shoulder, and the palm of his hand had a soft power transmission, and under this, the feeling of pulling and devouring in Yuan Jing's heart gradually disappeared.
Awakened like the rest of his life after a catastrophe, Yuan Jing looked sideways, only to see the old man with one hand on his shoulder, those deep eyes staring at the darkness tightly, and his face was full of solemnity: "Little baby, don't look around, with your current low cultivation, you will be controlled by it in an instant!"
Hearing this, Yuan Jing nodded, a little palpitating, just now, he only felt a terrifying evil force instantly invade his heart, and then began to devour his mind, intending to control his body and mind.
Fortunately, the old man next to him rescued him in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Yuan Jing glanced at the old man beside him, his eyes were full of waves, and the old man's actions just proved what he thought in his heart.
This eccentric old man beside him is definitely not simple!
"Old man, what kind of monster is lurking in that darkness?" Yuan Jing eased his emotions, looked puzzled, and suddenly asked.
The terrifying evil power from before was unique in his impression, even if it was his grandfather who was in charge of the Xuantian Domain five years ago, he felt that his strength was not less than one percent of it!
The old man looked at Yuan Jing and asked rhetorically, "Do you know about the human spirit war hundreds of years ago?"
Now that he has decided to tell Yuan Jing, he no longer intends to hide these many secrets.
"Soul War?"
Yuan Jing repeated the thought with a puzzled expression, and then nodded quickly, he heard his grandfather mention this battle by chance, but because the time was too long, the memory was blurred, and after the old man mentioned it, he quickly remembered.
"It is said that it was a battle between the human race and the blood spirit race, and at that time it was known as the most tragic battle in the history of the Heavenly Saint Star!" Yuan Jing took the initiative to say.
Hearing this, the old man nodded, and continued in a deep voice: "Well, you are right, before this, our human race and the blood spirit clan each occupied half of the Heavenly Saint Star, although the two sides have also had large and small confrontations, but they are also small fights, and they have not hurt the roots. ”
"But hundreds of years ago, the ambition of the wolf son of the Blood Spirit Clan appeared, and he took the initiative to provoke a war, intending to control the entire Heavenly Saint Star!"
"That battle lasted for several years, and blood spread all over the entire Heavenly Saint Star. Our Terrans relied on their numbers to win in the end. The old man's face was full of remembrance, and his deep eyes shone with a blood-red light.
Yuan Jing looked at the old man, his expression was also a little moved, although the old man did not elaborate, but he could imagine what a tragic price the human race had paid in order to resist the invasion of the blood spirit clan at that time.
As the old man spoke, a look of helplessness suddenly appeared on his face, and he continued: "The Heavenly Saint Star is divided into six realms, and at that time, the Terran and the Blood Spirit Clan each occupied three realms. ”
"The remaining realm is still controlled by the Blood Spirit Clan who fled in a hurry!" the old man's face was unwilling, obviously feeling deeply powerless about the tenacity of the Blood Spirit Clan at that time.
"Recaptured?"
Yuan Jing had an idea and noticed the difference in the words.
"Yes. The old man regained his expression and replied in a deep voice: "Among the Heavenly Saint Stars, the Blood Spirit Race is only an alien race, and it has existed since the Terran Race even before it rose. ”
"No one knows where they come from. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Yuan Jing's expression was slightly surprised, he originally thought that the Blood Spirit Clan was the native race of the Heavenly Saint Star, but he didn't expect it to be an alien race.
"The one who is hidden in the darkness on the other side is also the Blood Spirit Clan?" Yuan Jing changed the topic and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Yes. The old man nodded, his face expressionless: "When the Blood Spirit Clan attacked my Holy Firmament Realm back then, they sent six Demon Venerables, each of whom was a powerhouse standing at the top of the pyramid. ”
"One of the Demon Venerables is the one who was suppressed on the other side, one of the Eighteen Demon Venerables, Demon Yuan Venerable!"
"Suppression?" asked Yuan Jing.
"Hmm. ”
Hearing this, the old man nodded again, and a sense of arrogance suddenly appeared on the old man's face: "Back then, there were six major sects in the Holy Cang Realm, and when the remaining five sects all sent two strong men to fight against the Demon Venerable, only the old man faced the Demon Venerable alone and suppressed it!"
The old man's tone was full of pride, and Yuan Jing's face was also full of surprise, although he had not heard of the six major sects, but from the old man's words, he could probably guess that it must be a few behemoths.
And in the case of other sects sending two strong men to face the Demon Venerable, the old man in front of him was able to face the Demon Venerable alone and suppress it, which was enough to make him proud.
