Chapter Seventy-Four: Empty Mulberry Mountain
The cold moon is silent, the night sky is lonely, everything falls into a deep sleep, and the cold wind is howling on the top of Longmen Mountain on a winter night, which can make people shiver and freeze.
Fortunately, there are monks on Longmen Mountain, although most of them are not high, but there are houses to shelter from the wind and rain, and they will not feel too cold.
Jin Bei'er put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked to the window, looking into the distance with a blank expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
Now that she has been sealed by cultivation, although she has the mana to protect her body without fear of cold and heat, it is impossible to escape from this place.
There are less than 1,000 Hehuan sect disciples in the entire Xiaoyaojian Sect, and there are actually more than 2,000 monks here.
Although they are basically martial artists that she doesn't approve of, Qi Lei, who easily caught her half a month ago, is also said to be a martial arts monk, which makes Jin Bei'er dare not underestimate martial artists too much.
What's more, there is also the bastard who used her as a maid, although Jin Bei'er is extremely unhappy with Zhao Kong now.
But after following him for more than half a month, I felt more and more that Zhao Kong was unfathomable.
Although the other party is also an immortal cultivator, what is revealed in her words is not the same concept as the cultivation path she understands.
Coupled with those magical pills, the storage bag that can be mustard seeds and Sumeru, and the obviously thick and abnormal aura on this Longmen Mountain.
They all told her that maybe this capture could be a huge opportunity for her.
It is precisely for this reason that Jin Bei'er can endure it and obediently do the work of a maid.
"Bottle, prepare some more snacks for me, I'm going out for a while tomorrow."
A somewhat lazy voice came from the next room, interrupting Jin Zhu'er's thoughts.
"Okay, Childe!"
Jin Bei'er, who was already a little accustomed to the identity of a maid, subconsciously got up and responded.
……
More than 3,000 miles to the east of the Qingyun Mountain Range, there is an ancient mountain that once shook the world, which was the holy land of the Demon Sect back then, and this mountain is called Kongsang Mountain.
More than 800 years ago, the black-hearted old man, a giant of the Demon Dao, founded a blood-refining hall in Kongsang Mountain and carried it forward.
For a moment, the demonic power was monstrous, and there was almost the momentum of unifying all the veins of the demon sect.
Today, the four major factions of the Demon Sect, the Ghost King Sect, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, the Hehuan Sect, and the Immortal Hall, although they are also very strong, they are still one level weaker than the Blood Refining Hall back then.
At that time, on the Kongsang Mountain, where the Blood Refining Hall was located, there was an unfathomable "Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave".
This "Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave" is a natural giant cave, which is said to reach the bottom of the earth, and the cave is cold and damp, and there are countless bats living here, and its number is not less than one million.
There is a necromantic abyss in the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Caves, and there are countless yin spirits in the necromantic abyss, and few people who enter survive.
And at the end of the Necromantic Abyss is the Ruthless Sea, and the Ruthless Sea hides the ancient beast Black Water Snake.
On top of a cliff near the Merciless Sea, there is a hidden cave.
It was the treasure cave of the Blood Refining Hall that year, known as the Dripping Blood Cave, and there was the first volume of the "Book of Heaven" and the Hehuan Bell in the cave.
The rest doesn't matter, but the first volume of the Book of Heaven is the general outline of the Book of Heaven, and Taiji Xuanqing Dao is from the fifth volume of the Book of Heaven, so the first volume of the Book of Heaven is a must-have for Zhao Kong!
On this day, Zhao Kong took the eight third-order powerhouses under his command to Kongsang Mountain.
Kongsang Mountain is majestic and steep, straight into the clouds, and the surrounding area stretches for hundreds of miles.
Although it does not have the momentum of Qingyun Mountain to suppress heaven and earth, it also has its own heroic and majestic charm.
In the evening, the sun is sinking in the west, and the desolate and towering Kongsang Mountain, under the light of the dusk sunset, brings a bit of gloomy taste, faintly giving people a feeling of depression.
"Master, this Kongsang Mountain is so big, it's not too early now, just find a place to rest nearby, and come back tomorrow to slowly find the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave."
Wei Fei raised his eyes in mid-air and looked around, unable to see anything unusual in the mountains, so he had to say to Zhao Kong.
Zhao Kong smiled and didn't answer Wei Fei's words, but took a sharp breath, and at the Kongsang Mountain below, he used a martial art that had not been used for a long time—the Ghost Domain Yin Wind Roar.
Bats are creatures that are extremely sensitive to sound.
Not to mention the Yin Wind Roar of the Ghost Domain mixed with Zhao Kong's spiritual attack, these bloodthirsty and aggressive alien bats were absolutely unbearable.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the originally empty Kongsang Mountain to suddenly fly out of the caves with countless small black dots.
At first, these black dots were still sparse, but after a while, they became denser and denser, until they turned into a huge black cloud, surging in the direction of Zhao Kong.
The sound of these giant bats flapping their wings is matched by their shrill roars.
As the black clouds got closer and closer, the sound became louder and louder, and it was terrifying.
"Don't panic!"
Zhao Kong stopped the roar of the ghost domain and said casually to the people around him.
The eight martial artists who came with him had just stepped into the third order not long after all.
Seeing this terrifying sight, most of them showed a hint of horror.
Zhao Kong unhurriedly took out the Zhenyuan Ding, gently lifted the lid of the Ding, and saw a large white flame rising in the Ding, this flame was Zhao Kong's pseudo-magical power - Bone Spirit Cold Fire.
Zhenyuan Ding can not only store the origin of the world, as long as it is intangible, it can store a large number of things.
When Zhao Kong was free on weekdays, he would transform a large number of bone spirit cold fires and store them in the Zhenyuan Ding.
When encountering the current situation, a large number of bone spirits were directly overturned by cold fire.
Suddenly, white flames spread across the sky for miles.
And those bats that make up the black clouds are actually not even spirit beasts, and they are purely accumulated by numbers.
When they encountered a heaven and earth fire like the cold fire of the bone spirit, they didn't even scream, and they were burned to ashes.
The remaining bats, which were far away, even if their eyes were not very good, fled in the opposite direction as soon as possible.
The originally overwhelming formation collapsed in an instant under the flames in the sky.
The direction in which these bats fled was basically the same, and Zhao Kong and the others followed.
Sure enough, I soon found a huge cave in the shadow of the mountain.
As soon as they entered this pitch-black giant cave, Zhao Kong and the others felt a strong yin wind, accompanied by a disgusting rancid smell.
Casually cast a lighting technique, a fist-sized ball of light, surrounding Zhao Kong, illuminating everything around him clearly.
There are still some bats flying around in the cave, probably because they didn't leave the cave just now, and they don't know Zhao Kong's horror.
Attracted by the light source, they flew towards them in droves.
This time, Zhao Kong didn't want to make a move, and several third-order martial cultivators casually swung a few qi blades to kill these remaining bats.
The nine people present will fly in the flesh, but they don't have to step on bat in disgust.
Zhao Kong sacrificed Zhenyuan Ding in the sky again, and a large area of clear light enveloped everyone.
The environment of this Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave is complicated, although Zhao Kong is still uncertain, the people from the Blood Refining Hall have not come to Kongsang Mountain at this time, but it is always right to take precautions.
"You should also be careful, this place is the holy land of the Demon Sect eight hundred years ago, maybe there are still remnants of their people, these people have always been unruly, be careful of their sneak attacks."
Even if Zhen Yuanding protected everyone, Zhao Kong still opened his mouth to remind him again.
"Yes, master!"
Although these attendants had all broken through to the third order, the painful experience of being suppressed by immortal cultivators for a long time made them dare not underestimate any immortal cultivators.
The Ten Thousand Bat Cave is more like an underground labyrinth than a cave.
Although Zhao Kong's spiritual power was strong, it was difficult to penetrate the thick rock wall, so he could only float along the stone path.
It was about half an hour before the crowd stopped and fell to the ground.
In the middle of the road ahead, and at the same time in the center of the two forks, a huge stone tablet of more than ten meters was erected, on which were engraved four large scarlet characters:
Heaven is in me!
Zhao Kong looked up at the stone tablet, and laughed inexplicably after a moment.
"It's a pity that the black-hearted old man was not only born in the wrong era, but also in the wrong world!"
"Although these four words are a bit arrogant, there are really not many people who can have such courage."
"However, the bones of this old guy are still there, maybe it can be ......"
Zhao Kong pondered for a while, and then led the attendants to the fork in the road on the left.
In fact, it doesn't make a difference which way to go here, and the two passages are just to divide the enemy soldiers into two ways, so that the defenders can break through each and actually reach the side of the Necronomical Abyss.
The passage here is relatively spacious, and there are not many stone walls that hinder the exploration of spiritual power.
Zhao Kong and the others didn't go far before they found that there were people ambushed on both sides of the passage in front of them.
It seems that the group of people from the Blood Refining Hall have returned to Kongsang Mountain!
Just now he was burning bats outside, which alarmed these people, and he was ready to ambush them with the help of the terrain at this moment.
"These demon cubs can only speak well when they are in pain, you go and catch the sneaky guys in front of you, you can focus on it, but don't really kill them."
Zhao Kong didn't plan to take action in person, and it wasn't for them to watch it.
"Yes, master!"
Including Qi Lei, who had condensed the martial soul, eight third-order martial artists shot together, and more than a dozen second-order early demon path cultivators were all restrained in an instant, and they didn't even have time to call for help.
Of course, this is also in the narrow terrain of the cave, and the immortal monks can't use it at all.
Plus they didn't understand the fighting style of a third-order martial arts monk.
was in a hurry after being close to the warriors, and almost all of them were knocked out in front of him, so this loss was also a little unjust.
Looking at the group of Blood Refining Hall cultivators who were brought over, Zhao Kong found a man who had obviously practiced the Blood Dao Exercises, and looked like a person who didn't look like a human or a ghost.
A cloud of ice water was condensed and poured on the man's head, waking him up.
"Are you Jiang Laosan?"
"Ah, yes, you'......"
Without waiting for Jiang Laosan to finish speaking, Zhao Kong used a spiritual secret technique and began to affect his thinking.
Once the Immortal Dao enters the second order, even if there is no foundation, its own resistance to the spiritual secret method will be greatly enhanced.
Therefore, Zhao Kong did not directly control the other party, but used some secret methods similar to psychological hints to make him confide in the situation in the Blood Refining Hall.
The success rate of casting this kind of secret technique is far greater than that of forcible control, and it is much safer than that of soul searching secret techniques.
However, there must be advantages and disadvantages, and this kind of secret method can only ask for some information, and the other party does not care too much.
Once a person's core secret is involved, the other party is likely to break free immediately.
This is also the reason why Zhao Kong selected Jiang Laosan, he is a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate Vampire Ancestor, and he is not loyal to the Blood Refining Hall at all, and it is unlikely that he will take the information of the Blood Refining Hall seriously.
Sure enough, after being affected by Zhao Kong's secret method, Jiang Laosan told all the information he knew like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, so that Zhao Kong had a general understanding of the current situation of the Blood Refining Hall.
"It's okay, it's a lot better than I expected."
Zhao Kong stunned Jiang Laosan again, casually threw him to the side of the passage, clapped his hands, and led his subordinates to the depths of the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave.
