Chapter 4: The Trail of the Bloody Shadow

It is said that Mo Yun and Lan Shuang of the Cangtian Sword Sect carried Wu Xun out of the Divine Sword Manor, and did not move in the direction of Fancheng all the way, but chose the southeast direction and ran all the way.

The girl Yun Tian followed quietly behind.

The sun was gradually sinking in the west, and Yun Shuang and the two found a secluded grove before letting go of Wu Xun. At this time, Wu Xun's whole body was still stiff, and he couldn't even speak. The two leaned Wu Xun against a tree, Mo Yun checked it, and then said to Lan Shuang: "Senior Brother Shuang, Senior Brother Wu's whole body meridians are blocked, and we have to work together to resolve it." ”

Lan Shuang nodded when he heard this, and while reaching out and sticking it to Wu Xun's back, he said to Mo Yun: "Senior Brother Yun, this Bai Youchuan has sealed the meridians of Senior Brother Wu's body with one move, how can his skill be so strong?" Mo Yun's eyes were a little solemn, and he said: "Senior Brother Shuang, we all overestimated ourselves too much before, and underestimated the heroes of the world. ”

Lan Shuang was stunned by this sentence, and then smiled bitterly: "Yes, not to mention this Bai Youchuan, it is the white-clothed young man in the tavern, and his skills are also extremely powerful." The two glanced at each other, and Mo Yun turned his head to the girl and said, "Senior Sister Yun Tian, I'm bothering you to protect the Dharma, and I and Senior Brother Shuang will massage the meridians for Senior Brother Wu Xun." ”

The girl nodded, and snorted, she rarely spoke, even to her fellow brothers and sisters. Yun Shuang and the others didn't mind, and immediately began to use all their strength to push Wu Xun up.

Half an hour later, it was getting dark. Wu Xun woke up, looked around, remembered what happened in the Divine Sword Manor, and suddenly understood. Yun Tian looked over, Wu Xun raised his head and met his gaze, and his face was even more ugly. "Ah" roared, Wu Xun pulled out his long sword, and stabbed the big tree behind him with a sword, he has been practicing for many years, his skill is so strong, how can the trees resist, the long sword instantly pierced through. He held the tree in his left hand, his chest heaving, and the hatred in his eyes.

The girl turned her head and stopped looking at him. Mo Yun looked at Wu Xun, frowned, and said after a while: "Senior Brother Wu, Bai Youchuan has been famous for many years, and he has reached the prime of life, and it is normal for him to be strong. The junior disciple is still young, and he is also a disciple of the master, and he has the master's supreme mental method of cultivation. In time, where will Bai Youchuan be your opponent. Junior disciples must not be rash and do things for a while, and step up cultivation. ”

Lan Shuang was on the side, also nodded, and echoed: "Senior Brother Wu, what Senior Brother Yun said is true, don't be angry." After some persuasion by the two, Wu Xun's face improved. The four of them stayed for a while, then went out of the woods and went to the city of Brahman. At this time, the night came, the sky was full of stars, and the breeze was blowing, like a mother's gentle touch.

The four of them couldn't walk fast, and it was only ten miles away from Fancheng, so they didn't have to hurry.

In a village, dozens of lights were lit, and a few dogs barked from time to time, adding a bit of tranquility. Wu Xun took a deep breath, glanced at the quiet village, and his mood suddenly improved.

Suddenly, several black shadows flickered, and in a moment they entered the village. The four of them were all martial arts masters with keen sensitivity, so naturally they all noticed the abnormality and stopped. Mo Yun looked at it, and then said to a few people: "Senior brother and sister, let's go over and take a look." ”

The four of them swept into the village and looked at each other. In a moment, there was a slight cry for help.

Wu Xun was the closest, and he didn't think much about it, so he picked up his long sword and flew over. Mo Yun and the others followed and entered a farmhouse courtyard.

I saw two people lying on the edge of the door, with blood marks on their necks, and they were no longer breathing. Just as they were about to check, there was another scream not far away, and several people flew over, and in an instant they arrived at the courtyard and surrounded them separately.

I saw a man in a black robe in the courtyard, lying on top of a middle-aged man, with his mouth on the farmer's neck, making a gurgling sound. The man's whole body convulsed, and he didn't die, but he couldn't make a sound out of his mouth.

The four of them looked at the vampire demon and suddenly felt murderous intent in their hearts. Wu Xun couldn't bear it, so he rushed to the courtyard first, and stabbed the black-robed man with a long sword. The black-robed man seemed to have low skills, but after realizing it, he saw the long sword stabbing him, and hurriedly rolled to the side, but he had no power to fight back.

Wu Xun was already unhappy in his heart, where would he think more at this time, and another sword stabbed out, hitting the black-robed man in the chest, killing him with a sword.

Mo Yun frowned, he didn't want this black-robed man to be so low. The three of them followed into the courtyard, Wu Xun picked up the black robe, and saw that this person's face was pale, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time, and blood was bubbling in his mouth.

And the man had already fainted at this moment, and the two bloody holes in his neck looked extremely hideous under the moonlight.

Mo Yun frowned and thought about it, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother and sister, the strength of these black-robed people is not high, let's look for them separately, don't kill them after we find them, and leave them alive." After half a pillar of incense, take it to the big pear tree at the entrance of the village to meet. A few people hummed, and then they split up to look for it in the village.

Soon, the other two black-robed people who entered the village were all caught and brought to the entrance of the village. Mo Yun expected that the strength of the two of them was similar to that of the black-robed man who had been killed before, and several of them were captured one by one without much effort.

Mo Yun pulled out his long sword and put it at the throat of a black-robed man, and shouted, "Say, who are you?"

Wu Xun frowned, he had already decided that the black-robed man was the demon of the "Blood Demon Sect" that had been rumored recently, and he didn't understand why Mo Yun would ask knowingly, but he didn't say anything.

The two black-robed people trembled, and the black-robed man who was pressed by the long sword to his throat was speechless for a long time.

A fierce light flashed in Mo Yun's eyes, and as soon as the long sword was sent, it immediately pierced the throat of the black-robed man, and the long sword was pulled out, and blood gushed out.

The other black-robed man swallowed his saliva, Wu Xun looked amused, and said: "When you suck people's blood and harm people's lives, why don't you see how scared you are?

Mo Yun concocted it in the same way, and the long sword was pressed against the throat of a black-robed man, and before he could ask, the man replied: "I said, I said, the hero spares his life."

Mo Yun removed the long sword, put it on the shoulder of the black-robed man, and said in a cold tone: "Don't you tell me quickly, who are you?"

The black-robed man replied, "We are the outer disciples of the Blood Demon Sect. ”

Mo Yun frowned and asked, "Outer disciples, how many outer disciples are there in the Blood Demon Sect, and besides the outer disciples, who else are there?"

The black-robed man knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "There are about two or three hundred outer disciples, in addition to the outer disciples, there are also inner disciples, and the elders of the He sect. ”

Mo Yun asked again: "How many inner disciples are there, and how many elders are there in the sect?" The black-robed man said: "I don't know how many inner disciples there are, I only know that the sect is very strict in selecting inner disciples."

Mo Yun saw his expression and knew that most of the other party did not lie, and he really didn't know. At that moment, he asked again: "That sect elder, don't you know it anymore?"

The man said, "There are thirteen elders in the sect, and the introductory disciples have all been told. ”

When Mo Yun heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper. Lan Shuang said on the side: "Senior brother, how could he be told the information of the sect master and elder as an outer disciple, don't be deceived by him." ”

When the black-robed man heard what Lan Shuang said, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kowtowed, "I'm telling the truth, where do you dare to deceive you." Every disciple who enters the sect will be told that there are a total of thirteen elders in the sect master. I don't know why."

Mo Yun thought for a while, and then asked, "Where is your sect?" The black-robed man replied respectfully: "The little one has never been to the sect, so he doesn't know where the headquarters is."

"Hmph," Lan Shuang snorted coldly, "You'd better say something useful, otherwise you'll end up like him." As he spoke, he pointed to the black-robed man who had already died on the side.

"Yes, our outer disciples gather in Qingyang Mountain every once in a while, and they are led by the elders of the sect to carry out the worship ceremony," the black-robed man said again and again.

"God worship ceremony, what god worship ceremony?" Lan Shuang asked with a frown.

The black-robed man showed a look of yearning in his eyes, and said: "We gathered together, knelt on the ground and prayed, the elders read some scriptures, we followed the scriptures and seemed to have magical power, every time we read them, we would feel peaceful in our hearts, and our bodies would be warm, as if we were in the clouds."

The black-robed man said to himself, his eyes glowing with obsession.

The four people who were listening on the sidelines were all frowning at this time, and Mo Yun thought in his heart, "Seeing that this black-robed man looks obsessed, I think he has great respect for that scripture." The scripture secret method of calming the mind and calming the nerves is so rare, how can this blood demon sect that suddenly appeared also have this method?"

After thinking about it, Mo Yun asked in a deep voice, "When will your worship ceremony be held?" The black-robed man was obsessed with himself, and he didn't think about it, so he said, "It's today." ”

After that, he suddenly woke up, and his eyes were a little flustered, as if he had leaked his mouth. Lan Shuang caught the eyes of the black-robed man, and immediately shouted: "Why didn't you say such an important thing just now?"

He drank this time, but he used the supreme heart method of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and he had an awe-inspiring momentum. Where could the black-robed man resist, he fell to the ground and buckled his head repeatedly.

Mo Yun waved his hand to stop Lan Shuang, and asked again, seeing that he couldn't ask anything, he pondered in his heart, and exchanged glances with several junior brothers and sisters before he said to the black-robed man: "You lead the way in front of your head and take us to the gathering place you said." If you dare to play any tricks, you will be in a different place. After saying that, he withdrew his long sword, and the black-robed man didn't even dare to say anything, but got up again, identified the direction, and walked in the southeast direction.

The black-robed man's skills were low, and several people were not afraid of him running away, so they followed behind by themselves. The black-robed man walked for a while, and when he saw that a few people were still far away from him, he ran wildly.

This run, that is, half an hour, the black-robed man was so tired and out of breath, looking back, he saw four people hanging far behind, with ease, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, and he no longer had the idea of getting rid of a few people.

Two groups of people, one after the other, walked forward in the night.

It wasn't until late at night that I rushed to Qingyang Mountain. I saw that the mountains were continuous, and occasionally cliffs were seen in the eyes.

The black-robed man found the mountain path, and without stopping, he entered the mountain by himself, and Mo Yun and the four followed from afar.

The trees in the mountains are extremely dense and thick, and the moonlight shines through the gaps in the treetops into the forest, adding a bit of cold and mystery.

The black-robed man seems to be very familiar with the mountain road, turning left and right, and does not stop when he encounters a fork in the road. As far as the four of Mo Yun could see, they couldn't see the black-robed man clearly.

However, the cultivation of the four people is all profound, and they follow the sound of the forest unhurriedly.

About another hour passed, and several people had gone deep into Qingyang Mountain. The black-robed man walked to the top of a hill, turned to the right, and in a moment, he came to a mountain col.

Mo Yun and the four of them followed to the top of the mountain, only to see that in the mountain col, there was a faint firelight and the sound of subtle conversations. The four of them found a high ground near the col and took a closer look.

I saw that in the col, about twenty or thirty black-robed people gathered here, either meditating cross-legged, or talking in groups and whispers. A campfire was lit in the middle, and dead wood burned, making a crackling sound from time to time.

The black-robed man who was followed by the four entered the crowd, trotted all the way, and arrived in front of an old man in black, who didn't know what to say.

The four of them were far apart, but they didn't hear clearly.

After the old man heard this, he waved his hand, and five or six black-robed people came over, and after the old man explained, the five or six people separated themselves and searched carefully around the col. Mo Yun looked carefully, signaled his junior brothers and sisters to pay attention to concealment, and the four of them lowered a little.

Those five or six people searched for it, and where could they find the four Mo Yun people whose skills were much higher than them, and they returned in vain. When the old man saw a few people returning, he looked around again, and then stopped moving.

During this time, many black-robed people came here to meet. Half an hour passed, and the number of black-robed people in the col had increased to forty or fifty.

The old man coughed, and the black-robed people got up one after another, only to hear the old man say: "Everyone, listen up, this gathering is different from the past. I will lead you to the headquarters of my Blood Demon Sect to meet the Sect Master and the Elders. ”

After the old man finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd, and then a burst of cheers.

The old man's voice was quite loud, and the four of Mo Yun could hear it clearly, and they were looking at the people in the mountain col intently. I saw that after the old man turned to a boulder in the mountain col, he could no longer see his figure, everyone was curious, and Mo Yun and the four of them also frowned.

After a while, the boulder remembered the roar of the mechanism, and saw that the boulder was moving slowly. After a while, a one-man high hole was revealed. The black-robed people were curious, they had gathered here several times, but they had never known that there was a mechanism hidden behind the boulder.

At the beckoning of the old man, everyone extinguished the campfire, lined up in line, and entered the cave one by one. In the blink of an eye, all the black-robed people in the col entered the cave, and the old man looked left and right, and followed in.

The boulder slowly turned to its place, and the col returned to silence. Except for the firewood that was still smoking, it was as if nothing had happened.

The four of Mo Yun appeared and swept into the col. Several people inhaled to themselves, never expecting that it would be so easy to discover the lair of the Blood Demon Sect. The four of them looked in the col, and after a while, several people turned to the boulder and groped carefully. It looks unremarkable here, and at a glance, there is no clue to it.

"Senior brother, come and see!" Lan Shuang squatted down and suddenly said to Mo Yun. Mo Yun hurriedly went over, squatted down, and looked along the blue fingers, only to see a flat stone slab on the side, with a circular protrusion, very hidden. If you don't deliberately observe it, it's hard to spot.

Mo Yun stretched out his hand to grope and groped, frowning and thinking, before he stopped for a while and said, "Senior brother and sister, this time I have discovered the lair of the Blood Demon Sect, this place is so hidden, most of it is where the Blood Demon Sect is located. Several people nodded one after another, and Wu Xun suddenly said, "Senior Brother Yun, since this is the case, let's go in and take a look." ”

Mo Yun snorted lightly, his eyes looked at Lan Shuang, only to see him looking eager to try, and then looked at his junior sister Yun Tian, only to see that her face was expressionless, slightly cold under the moonlight.

Yun Tian saw Senior Brother looking at him and nodded slightly.

Mo Yun knew what his junior sister meant, and pondered for a moment before he said, "Since my junior brother and sister want to go and see what is going on, I won't stop it." But this place is most likely the lair of the Blood Demon Sect, and it must be in crisis. The four of us are alone, and if we are deeply involved, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out, so we will split up and act. ”

Several people nodded when they heard this, Mo Yun has always been calm and thoughtful, and he is a brother (sister) of the same disciple, so they naturally trust him very much.

Mo Yun said to Lan Shuang: "Twin junior brothers, let's go our separate ways, I'll take my junior brothers and sisters in to investigate, you go down the mountain, go to the Divine Sword Gate, and tell Bai Youchuan and all the fellow masters about the matter here." ”

Lan Shuang frowned and said, "Senior Brother Yun, I'm afraid that if I go, all the senior masters in the Divine Sword Conference won't come here." Mo Yun heard what Lan Shuang said, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "You just have to say this."

Lan Shuang heard his brother's clever plan, and he admired it even more in his heart, he and Mo Yun have been friends for many years, and they have also followed each other when they go out and travel, so they naturally know each other quite well.

He snorted and said, "In that case, you should pay attention to safety and be careful." Farewell!" he turned and swept out of the col and went straight down the mountain.

Mo Yun and the others saw Lan Shuang leaving, and they all turned their heads to look at the organ. Mo Yun twisted it hard, the mechanism made a sound, and the boulder slowly moved. In less than a moment, a pitch-black hole was revealed.

Several people glanced at each other, Mo Yun took out his long sword, put it across his chest, and took the lead into the hole, Wu Xun and Yun Tian followed and also entered. The boulder slowly turned, and then returned to its original position.
