The moon and stars are sparse in the sky, and the night is not bright, but it is not very dark.

In the jade city of the sand sea, which is unusually quiet during the day, it is even more silent at night, without any sound.

A void qi machine, in this quiet night, quietly infiltrated the Xilai Temple in the center of the city.

The temple is not closed at night, the lights are brilliant, there is no strict protection to prohibit entry and exit, except for many believers in the temple reciting the scriptures of the gods, there is nothing unusual.

But there is also an underground shrine inside the temple of the West.

If anyone could see it, they would be terrified.

The underground shrine is very empty and flat, the shape is square and solemn, the ground is jet black, and the four walls are brilliant and golden. In the center of the ground, there is a realistic and exquisitely crafted ink-colored god statue, which is the statue of the god of the West in the jade city of the sand sea, which everyone entrusts.

Its image is peculiar, bald and hairless, at first glance it looks like a kind Buddha with a smile on his fingers, but there is an indescribable evil spirit. There are countless curses around the statue, which are as high as nine zhang, standing majestically.

To the left and right of the statue are two circular pools that symbolize the cycle of repetition and the coexistence of life and death.

Inside one of them, the scene was terrifying, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain, and there were no less than a thousand of them.

Earlier, when the Nightkin team entered the city, they saw on the street the corpses of young men and little girls who had been chased by soldiers were also among them, and they had been undressed, and the naked-naked corpses were stacked on top of each other, which was shocking.

Most of these corpses are dead and blind, and the evil qi gathers, and it is cold and terrifying.

In the other ring-shaped pool, there are all living people, who are countless believers who devout and worship the gods of the West.

At this time, these believers threw themselves to the ground, their expressions were pious, and their faces were full of holy light. It was in stark contrast to the corpse with a terrible image on the other side.

Many devotees chanted a sacrificial mantra in unison, and everyone's body was glowing, brighter and brighter, as if they were igniting their own body with the fire of life, releasing the last splendor of life.

As their incantations grew louder, strange changes appeared.

In the middle of the two pools, the statue of the god Xilai seems to have been 'awakened'. Its eyes are shining, as if looking at the world, and the position of its forehead shows a golden body with a dazzling light all over the world, with its eyes closed, curled up like a baby, with heaven and earth as parents and sentient beings as slaves.

As soon as the golden body conceived by the eyebrows of this Western god appeared, in the molten pool where thousands of corpses were piled up, all the corpses were taken by an irresistible force. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a blood-colored liquid that fused with essence, blood, bone and flesh, which was extremely thick and swirled in the air, and was finally absorbed by the golden body contained in the eyebrows of the statue of the god of the West.

In the circular pool on the other side, more than 1,000 believers knelt on the ground, believing in the gods of the West, and the chanting stopped.

A black aura rose from the skulls of these believers, which was also absorbed by the golden body that appeared from the center of the eyebrows of the Western God.

After many believers lost the power of this divine soul core. The flesh withered like a decaying old tree, and directly dissolved into ashes. There is not a drop left.

The scene presented in the underground temple was terrifying and eerie.

The statue of the god Nasilai first absorbed the blood of death from thousands of corpses, and then swallowed the spirit and soul of more than a thousand sect members. The so-called using heaven and earth as a furnace and refining sentient beings for food is nothing more than that.

A middle-aged man standing under the statue of the god of the West witnessed the whole process with an expressionless face. He muttered to himself: "This time the sacrifice of life and death at the same time went very smoothly. If there is another sacrifice of this kind, the cultivation of the Western Divine Fetus should be complete."

The middle-aged man is an ordinary figure, dressed in a sacrificial black robe, and his eyes are bright. His face looked friendly and peaceful, not at all like a person who could witness the tragic death of all living beings without moving.

This man is the chief high priest of the Xilai Temple, and is also known as the true body of the Xilai God, and his divine power is boundless.

At the same time as his voice fell, a wisp of void qi that had quietly infiltrated this temple of His Highness was withdrawing.

Just as this wisp of qi was leaving, the golden body of the god of the West like the center of the eyebrows, and the eyes that had always been closed opened and closed like lightning for a moment, looking at the place where the void qi disappeared.

In the next moment, the high priest of the god of the West also realized it, and his eyes flashed slightly.

At the same moment, Fang Di withdrew the natal armor qi released from the outside, and opened his eyes in a certain living room in the Jade City of the Sand Sea: "The Mother Forces have built one god temple after another in the Shadow Domination Area, it was originally for people to voluntarily sacrifice their souls, and together with the death qi contained in the corpses of the deceased, they would support the statues of evil gods. What does it mean to conceive a divine fetus, is it possible that the formation of a divine fetus can still make the gods born into the world? ”

Fang Di's eyes flashed, and he frequently showed a thoughtful look.

The purpose of his deep penetration into the Shadow Domination Region this time was naturally to use battle to nurture the war, and to put himself in danger, so as to sharpen his body and strive to touch the fifth-order barrier as soon as possible. Fang Di's plan was to attack and kill the important people of the Shadow or Mother Camp in the places he passed.

As for the people he set as targets, long before he set off, he was sorted out and summarized by the Secret Temple and sent him a list, the first of which was to kill the High Priest of the Western Temple.

However, Fang Di urged the void qi transformed by the Underworld armor to sneak into the temple tonight, just to investigate the enemy's situation, and he was not in a hurry to make a move.

Otherwise, his own traces would likely be exposed, and the gains outweighed the losses.

It must be known that once the high priest of the Xilai Temple is really killed, the other party will inevitably launch an earth-shaking investigation, and the smuggling team that only entered the city in the afternoon will inevitably become the target of suspicion, and even the night walkers will get into big trouble, not to mention Fang Di's own traces. It is also likely that this will be exposed, and there will be no concealment and flexibility in acting thereafter.

Although Fang Di was a bold person, he was not blindly confident enough to think that after his traces were exposed, he would be able to advance and retreat freely in the Shadow Domination Area. Therefore, his current actions need to be carried out under the premise of hiding his body as much as possible, which is also the purpose of his need to use the smuggling team of Nightkin to shelter.

While Fang Di was exploring the Xilai Temple, Jiu Mulian and Luck on the other side, along with Mu Cheng and the others, were in the main hall of the mansion not far from Fang Di, receiving hospitality.

The correspondence of the Nightkin on this side, that is, the master of Hiller, who was responsible for receiving them into the city, gave birth to the face of an Oriental. The face is slightly old, the back is slightly curved, it looks a little hunchbacked, the nose bone is high and fleshless, the eyes are sharp, and the lips are as thin as a knife.

People of this physiognomy. Most of them have a city government in their hearts, and they act decisively and ruthlessly.

This old man's name is Yan Lao, and the force he controls is also a well-known force in the Shadow Border Region, and its name is 'Walking Beast'.

At this time, the meeting between the two sides was nearing the end, and they had a very happy conversation, finalizing the specific details of the smuggling, such as the distribution of profits.

Then Mu Cheng and Luck went to the outside of the hall to trade goods with Yan Jiu's men, and only Yan Jiu himself and Jiu Mulian were left in the main hall.

Yan Jiu's grim face rarely flashed a sincere smile, and he said with great interest: "Speaking of which, I grew up watching you." I used to cross the smuggling border with your grandfather, and then your father took over you Nightcrawlers, and now it's you. It's really not easy for you to do these things as a girl, but it's a pity that none of my children and grandchildren will be successful, otherwise I will match Mu Lian to become my daughter-in-law. ”

Jiu Mulian said with a smile: "Grandpa Yan is too humble, who doesn't know that you have hands and eyes over here, and several Yan Jia brothers are all talented." It's that I don't deserve them. Over the years, we have entrusted you with your care. in order to walk smoothly in the shadow area. ”

Yan Jiu laughed at himself: "It's far from being able to talk about the eyes and hands, just so that this big family doesn't have to go to the Western Divine Sect every day to listen to the teachings, it has cost me too much energy and financial resources, hey, it's just barely maintained, life is difficult."

There was clearly something unfinished in his words. But he didn't want to talk about it, and muttered: "There are some things in your grandfather's and father's personalities that I admire, but they have set too many bottom lines for themselves, not that they are bad." Rather, it is not suitable for this border smuggling route. ”

He added: "I want to ask again, you nightcrawlers really don't want to collect some information about the Five Directions Domain, and then sell it? For example, how many cities are on a certain life source star, how well are they armed, and so on." You need to know that these are the most profitable pieces of the smuggling trade, and they are also the things that the Shadow side is most interested in, once you agree to send relevant information about the Five Directions, it is equivalent to having a life amulet, and in the future, there will be no more Shadow Ministers looking for trouble, and the benefits contained in this are so great that I don't think you will be unaware. ”

Yan Jiu said that he meant to collect information such as strategic arming and defense in the Five Directions Domain, and use it to send to the Shadow Clan's side in exchange for huge benefits.

Jiu Mulian understood as soon as she heard it, shook her head and said, "I know that Grandpa Yan has good intentions, but my grandfather and father have said that even if we can't become a big force, we can't even maintain it, and in the end, the Nightkin needs to be disbanded, and we won't do anything to sell all kinds of strategic information in the Five Directions Domain." It's not for any big reason, just to have peace of mind. ”

Yan Jiu laughed dryly, leaning forward slightly: "I told you these words when you were your own family, you should know that even if you don't do it, everyone else is doing it." If you don't do it, not only will it not make sense, but you will gradually be eliminated by this smuggling line. ”

Seeing that Jiu Mulian was unmoved, Yan Jiu shook his head indifferently and said, "Forget it, if you don't do it, you won't do it, and I'm not strong." ”

Jiu Mulian got up and said, "Then it's troublesome Grandpa Yan, let's rest here for one night and leave tomorrow." ”

Yan Jiu said: "Well, the business on the smuggling route has always been a tight time, so naturally the sooner the better, and it is better to leave early." Don't worry, I have arrangements for some of the cities you need to pass through here. ”

At this time, Luck and Mu Cheng, who was smiling, ended the transaction and walked back. Obviously, Mu Cheng was quite satisfied with the transaction and made a lot of profits.

Jiu Mulian joined Mu Cheng and Luck, and the three of them turned around and walked outside the main hall.

When he turned around, Luck made slight contact with Yan Lao's gaze, but they both looked away as if nothing happened.

When the three of Jiu Mulian left the main hall, Yan Jiu sat still on the main seat in the hall, squinting his eyes slightly, and groaning with a deep face.

At this time, an old man in blue armor strode out of the apse, and his majesty was extraordinary, and he was actually in the castlevania a few days earlier, and he secretly met with Luck, the leader of the bandit force Boya, who was planning to annex the Bat Army and then absorb the Nightcrawlers.

Boya and Yan Jiu glanced at each other and smiled at the same time.

————

The night went uneventful, and when dawn came, the team of Nightkin hurriedly set off again for their next destination.

This time, there were people from the strict old side to take care of, and it went out of the Shahai Jade City smoothly without any accidents.

Yan Jiu also sent a small team of four people to accompany him with great enthusiasm to deal with related matters along the way.

The whole day remained on the road, and when night fell again, the team camped at a location with their backs to the sand dunes, ready to rest for two hours before leaving. After arranging for the vigil, the entire camp quickly fell silent, and everyone was busy using their internal strength to recover from the physical exertion caused by the journey.

Unbeknownst to the Nightkin team, a few miles away from where they had set up camp and resting, another team, riding a desert two-tailed giant scorpion, was rapidly approaching where the Nightkin was.

In the tent, Fang Di's eyes were closed, his expression was bright, but his smile was cold.
