Sure enough, the woman's next words confirmed Xu Chen's guess in his heart: "You must not be deceived by his appearance in his old age, in fact, the Huai Ghost is the real culprit." It was he who turned Huaijiang Mountain into a hell on earth, and all those who entered the mountain died in his hands. ”

Xu Chen has seen the power of the Huai Ghost, and he can beat Mo Li who has the Xuantian Realm with one move, and what is even more terrifying is that his body can recover after any damage.

Imagine such a powerful and mysterious monster, if you want to kill others, no one can escape from him.

But Xu Chen didn't fully believe the woman's words, he said in a deep voice: "If he is a Huai ghost, then who are you?"

"My name is Lilun, and I used to be a subordinate of Lord Yingzhao, assisting him in taking care of the many creatures living in the Huaijiang Mountains. But after the death of the adult immortal, in order to achieve his ambitions, the Huai Ghost absorbed a lot of anger, thus refining the immortal body, and now I am no longer his opponent. When she said this, the woman's face was worried.

Xu Chen was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Lord Yingzhao's subordinates, so the girl is also an immortal?"

"If I were a god, I would have followed the figure of the Lord in that catastrophe. Lilun sighed and said, "I'm just a spirit beast that grew up in Huaijiang Mountain, because I have been guided by Lord Yingzhao since I was a child, so I was lucky to have a little cultivation." ”

Xu Chen felt his self-confidence explode in his chest, Lilun's words were simply too hurtful, if her cultivation could only be counted as a little, then wouldn't the cultivation of the Void Refining Realm she had be extremely rotten, the more he thought about it, the more ashamed he became, and he even had an impulse in his heart, wanting to find a tree and hang himself.

After being stunned for a long time, a question arose in Xu Chen's mind, he suddenly became vigilant, and asked in a deep voice: "You said that everyone was killed by Huai Ghosts, but it was those bird demons who attacked me in the past two days, on the contrary, Huai Ghost also pointed out the way to leave Huaijiang Mountain, why should I believe that what you said is not a lie?"

Lilun laughed deliciously, she shook her head and said, "You are so simple, you even believe his words!"

"The facts are in front of me, although the ghost is a little crazy, it has not hurt me. ”

"And what did he say to you?"

Xu Chen hesitated, having experienced so many things, it was difficult for him to easily believe that the poor old man was a murderer without blinking an eye just based on a few words that Lilun said.

But seeing Lilun's fiery gaze staring at him without any impurities, Xu Chen finally told the woman truthfully about his encounter with the Huai Ghost.

"Hehe, it's those clichés again, and it hasn't changed at all after so many years. Lilun sneered again, and said with disdain: "Let me explain everything to you, so that you can know how insidious and vicious this old fellow is." ”

"The girl might as well say it directly, so that I can be mentally prepared. ”

"The location you are in now is the shelter that I have spent thousands of years building, and I said that this is the core of the Huaijiang Mountain you are looking for. ”

"I've come here, so is it as the Huai Ghost said, is there a mechanism to crack the Divine Array hidden here, or to open the Divine Array's birth gate?"

"There is indeed a mechanism that can allow you to return to the human world safely, but only those selected by Lord Yingzhao are qualified to open it. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chen couldn't help but sneer and said, "Doesn't that just prove that Huai Ghost didn't lie to me, what explanation does the girl have for this?"

"It's a pure lie, not many people will believe it, and it's easy to be exposed. Lilun smiled and said, "In those words that Huai Ghost said, except for these true information, everything else is an outright lie. ”

"That's all the information the ghost has revealed to me, and you said that the rest of his words are lies, but I really can't figure out what else he has to say is a false lie. ”

He said that after the death of Lord Yingzhao, the divine array that blocked outsiders from entering Huaijiang Mountain was opened, but in fact, the respected adult had not done this at all, and even the other gods had not done this either. ”

"Could it be...... Are you saying that this divine array doesn't exist at all?" Xu Chen was shocked, his mind suddenly flooded with his experiences over the past few days, and he couldn't help but murmur: "We haven't been able to leave here, are we all trapped in an illusion?"

"No, this is the real world, although the gods did not lay down a mysterious formation, but the Huai Ghost set up a maze array for the entire sacred mountain after the death of Lord Yingzhao!"

"Ecstasy Array, you say that the Ecstasy Array that makes us dizzy is the masterpiece of the Huai Ghost?" Xu Chen only felt that the cold sweat on his forehead was about to flow out, this was a fact he had never imagined.

"Yes, but his purpose is not to prevent the world from coming to Huaijiangshan, but to wait for outsiders to come in and not let them out. Lilun sneered and said, "I've seen those cages that catch birds, and when the bird accidentally gets in, the cage door closes immediately, and it becomes the prey of the bird hunters." ”

"Prey, are you saying that those of us who go into the mountains are the prey of the Huai Ghost?" Xu Chen was taken aback.

"Yes, he is a ferocious hunter, he will never let his prey die peacefully, but slowly torture them, and when the prey feels that he is worse than dead, he will give you a fatal blow!"

"This can't be, he didn't hurt me at all, it was those murderous bird demons who turned them into stone statues!"

"Do you really think that these beasts are birds of prey that have cultivated to perfection?" Lilun's voice suddenly became a little high-pitched: "These monsters that seem to you to be extremely ferocious in your eyes are actually the same living people when they were alive!"

"What the hell is going on, tell me quickly!" Xu Chen was completely confused.

"Those stone statues you saw yesterday in the Wakaki Forest are the original faces of these so-called youkai. ”

"Are you saying that they used to be cultivators in the human race and demon race just like me?"

"Yes, they are all cultivators who have entered Huaijiang Mountain for thousands of years, but in the end, these poor guys have not succeeded in leaving Huaijiang Mountain, but have been turned into puppets in their hands by Huai Ghost, and used to besiege the killing tools of those who enter the mountain later. ”

Xu Chen shouted, "Why did the Huai Ghost do this?"

"Because he needs to leave Huaijiangshan, and these puppets are his best tools!"

Seeing that Xu Chen was getting more and more shocked, Lilun smiled slightly, and then said: "Tens of thousands of years ago, the Huai Ghost was a capable commander under Wuzhiqi, and they were entrenched in the Huaishui and killed countless creatures in the past. Later, Emperor Jun learned of their brutality and sent Lord Ying Zhao to clean up the two demons. ”

After a vicious battle, Wuzhi Qi was seriously injured and dived into the abyss and never dared to come out to make waves again, and Huai Ghost was captured by Yingzhao on the spot and brought back to Huaijiang Mountain. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chen only felt a chill in his back, he really didn't expect that the Huai ghost, who looked weak on the surface, had such a murderous experience.

Lilun said: "Originally, the Lord wanted to correct the Huai Ghost on the spot, but the Emperor Haotian and his old man thought that it was not easy to practice in this demonic penance, so he spared his life, and the Huai Ghost deeply felt the grace of Emperor Jun not to kill, so he asked Lord Yingzhao to take him in Huaijiang Mountain to practice with sin, and then atone for the benefit of one party after the cultivation has been achieved in the future." ”

Xu Chen couldn't help but interject and asked, "Since the Huai Ghost is willing to repent and reform himself, how can he become the extremely ferocious monster you said in your mouth now?"

"We were all deceived by him!" Lilun said hatefully: "When Lord Yingzhao was alive, the great supernatural powers he possessed made the Huai ghost tremble, and he didn't dare to have two hearts, but after the death of the adult immortal, this demon completely took off his hypocritical face, and wanted to use the entire Huaijiang Mountain as his own lair of harm!"

"I didn't expect him to have such wolf ambitions, now that you know about his plot, why don't you stop him?"

"I don't want to do this! At first, I fought with him several times, and there was no difference between each other, so this demon didn't dare to act recklessly, but when he used demon magic to make those who entered the mountains into puppets in his hands, I would be his opponent again. ”

Li Lun let out a long sigh, and then said: "It was only at this time that I fully understood what the Great Immortal said before he died, he said that after he died, he told me never to meet this demon!"

Xu Chen couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, but he immediately figured out the meaning of Ying Zhao's words.

It seems that the great god who guards the Huai country has long expected that after his death, the Huai ghost will tear off his hypocritical face, and it will be difficult to stop the cruelty of this demon with the strength of Lilun alone, so Ying Zhao will keep her away from the Huai ghost, so as not to be poisoned.

After experiencing failure after failure, Lilun was naturally disheartened, and finally built this shelter unknown to the Huai Ghost, hiding here and surviving.

Xu Chen couldn't help but say a little melancholy: "Is the girl just like this to protect herself, let the Huai ghost do evil, and ignore it?"

"After the fall of the gods, the divine power bestowed upon me by my lord is declining, and now I have no power to stop this demon. Suddenly, Lilun's phoenix eyes opened smoothly, and he said loudly: "But as long as I have a breath, I will never let him leave Huaijiangshan for half a step." ”

Xu Chen couldn't help but ask strangely: "Even the Ecstasy Array shrouded in Huaijiang Mountain was laid by Huai Ghost, isn't it easy for him to leave Huaijiang Mountain?

Li Lun said coldly: "My lord's wisdom is outstanding, since he has seen that there is a backbone behind the Huai ghost's brain, how can he not take precautions at all?"

"I don't know what kind of precautions the Great God Ying Zhao has taken, so that the Huai ghost can't leave Huaijiang Mountain for half a step. ”

"Please follow me. Lilun turned around and walked towards a place, Xu Chen saw that the ground in the distance was raised, it seemed to be like a small hill, but there was no grass on it.

Xu Chen then walked with her, and when he got closer, he found that this was a tomb, there was no tombstone in front of the tomb, but there was a stone sword inserted, but the entire body of this sword was deeply inserted into the soil, revealing only a phoenix-shaped hilt.

The cold wind suddenly blew up, and it made people feel chilled.

Lilun knelt down in front of this nameless tomb, and only stood up after a long time, Xu Chen saw that her face was full of sorrow, and her tear-stained eyes seemed to be buried with many bleak and painful pasts.

Xu Chen didn't dare to disturb, just stood quietly beside her, letting the cold wind blow across his face, as if he felt cold in his heart, and couldn't tell what it was like.

Lilun turned his head to stare at him and said, "Do you know whose grave this is?"

"I don't know, is it the tomb of Lord Yingzhao?"

"Yes. It was I who buried the adults here with my own hands. After a pause, Lilun said: "The Huai ghost just wants to find this place, but even if I am scattered, I will never reveal the exact location of the tomb to him." ”

"Why?" Xu Chen realized that he was about to know the ultimate secret of Huai Jiangshan.

Lilun pointed to the sword stuck in the ground and said, "Do you see this sword?"

"See. Xu Chen nodded.

"It's a relic left by the Great Immortal before he died, now go and pull it out, as long as the sword is in your hand, you can destroy the Huai Ghost, destroy his ecstasy array, and your three companions will also be resurrected from the imprisonment. ”

Xu Chen was a little surprised and couldn't believe Lilun's words, he hesitated and asked, "Why is the Huai Ghost afraid of this sword?"

"Lord Yingzhao summoned the Huai Ghost to his side before he died, and used the last bit of divine power to separate the soul of this demon, and it was his demon soul that was suppressed under the sword body. ”

"In other words, the Huai ghost I see now only has a spirit in his body but no soul?" Seeing Lilun nodding affirmatively, Xu Chen asked again: "Is this the reason why he can't leave Huaijiang Mountain?"

"Yes. The adults forcibly separated his soul and severely weakened his strength. In this way, he will not be able to reach the point of being invincible in the world, and if he rashly goes to the world, there will still be many people who can kill him. Don't look at his nagging that he just wants to die, in fact, he is a coward who is afraid of death to the extreme. ”

The Huai Ghost who only has the demon soul left is so powerful, so if he recovers all his vitality, wouldn't his strength be terrifying to the extreme?

Shocked, Xu Chen suddenly found that what happened to the Huai Ghost was simply a copy of Dijiang, and he couldn't help but hook a sneer at the corner of his mouth, it seems that God always has many unexpected ways to treat the wicked.

Xu Chen is much smarter now, and after hearing Lilun's words, he then asked another question: "According to what the girl said, if I can draw my sword and come out, won't the Huai Ghost return to its true body?

"This ......" Seeing Xu Chen's eyes staring at her like a torch, Lilun's expression was a little unnatural, but she immediately settled down and said, "What you said is not wrong at all. But you forgot one thing, since this sword can suppress the demon soul of the Huai Ghost, then it is also a divine weapon to break the immortal body of the Huai Ghost!"

After taking a light breath, Lilun said again: "Once the divine sword is drawn, the demon soul will be released, and the Huai ghost will sense its specific location and accurately find this place to reunite his soul." It's just that in the process, he can't use any spells, and at that time, it's our only chance!"

"You're asking me to use the Excalibur to give him a fatal blow while his soul is fused?"

"Yes! It sounds like a gamble, but if we don't seize this only opportunity, when his spell unleashes unchecked, we'll all die without a place to bury, and the whole world will be plunged into a catastrophe. ”

"It seems that either he dies or I die!" Xu Chen sighed with emotion and said, "If I can't pull out this sword, I won't live up to your expectations." ”

"You don't even try, how do you know you can't?"

After seeing her encouraging gaze, Xu Chen stepped forward to concentrate, reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out hard!

It was as if the sword had taken root in the ground, let alone pulled it out, but it couldn't even shake it for half a minute!

This couldn't help but make Xu Chen's face burn red, and he secretly thought, "Could it be that you have to use your own cultivation to pull out the sword?"

So he used enough true qi to try again, but the result was still that he couldn't shake the long sword for half a point.

Looking back, he saw an extremely disappointed expression on Lilun's face, although she didn't say anything, Xu Chen seemed to be able to feel that she was saying in her heart that she was useless, she was completely a waste, and he was ashamed and eager to find a hole to get into.

"Alas!" Li Lun let out a long sigh and asked, "What is the current level of your cultivation?"

"The last layer of the Refining Void Realm has not yet broken through to the Xuantian Realm. Xu Chen's voice was like a mosquito humming.

In the past, he felt how proud he was to be able to reach the Void Refining Realm, but now, he realized that he was too weak.

"No wonder. As she spoke, the wrinkles between her eyebrows stretched little by little, and she said: "Don't be sad, there have been many people who have come here before, and their cultivation is much higher than yours, and some have even reached the cultivation limit of the human race, the Mixed Yuan True Qi Realm, and they still can't pull out this sword." ”

Xu Chen was shocked when he heard this, the Mixed Yuan True Qi Realm is a realm that only God Kings and Demon Lords can have, and even a person like them who is extremely powerful can't pull it out, so who else can pull it out?

Thinking of this, Xu Chen's heart suddenly felt a little better, and he asked tentatively, "What happened to those who didn't draw their swords?"

Lilun said with a gloomy expression: "What else, of course they were all killed by the Huai Ghost." Among those puppets who have caused you a lot of trouble, there are many people who stood in front of me like you are now. ”

Xu Chen only felt a sour feeling in his heart, Lilun was telling himself unmistakably that if he couldn't draw his sword, the final result would be the same as them.

After his mood stabilized a little, Xu Chen immediately became suspicious, and he asked, "Since those people are here, why did they still die at the hands of the Huai Ghost." ”

Lilun said that this is a place that the Huai Ghost can't trace, and those dead ancestors are tantamount to coming to a safe place when they arrive here, how can they still be killed by the Huai Ghost, unless, unless......

Xu Chen didn't dare to think about it anymore, his eyes were already a little strange when he looked at Lilun, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
