Night falls.

In the courtyard, it was pitch black.

Except for a few lights, the whole courtyard is like a haunted house.

"There's a problem, there's a big problem!"

Ji Tianci's pupils shrank suddenly, his face was solemn, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart.

This annex is too problematic.

Be quiet!

It's so quiet!

It didn't look like it had housed thousands of orphans.

It was silent, lifeless.

If Ji Tianci hadn't come here according to the map, maybe he would have thought that this was not another courtyard, but a wilderness.

"Everything is there!"

Ji Tianci cast the Gu Immortal Method, and his body melted into the night.

Even the Great Grandmaster couldn't see any flaws.

After making a good disguise, Ji Tianci infiltrated the courtyard to find the orphan who was adopted by Tao Tianming.

In the courtyard, it was quiet.

Ji Tianci could hear the sound of his own breathing.

The annex is large and there are many houses.

Ji Tianci came to the wing room, looked inside through the gap in the window, and saw that the wing room was full of bunks.

In a small room, there were twenty people.

The density is even more exaggerated than in high school dorms.

But what shocked Ji Tianci even more was that the mattress was still there, but it was empty.

Pressing the curiosity in his heart, Ji Tianci continued to search the wing.

The situation in the other wings cannot be said to be exactly the same, and it can only be said that it is the same.

The orphans adopted by Tao Tianming are all gone.

This strange situation made Ji Tianci mutter.

"At this time, it would be nice if Liu was here!"

Inexplicably, Ji Tianci misses the wonders of Liu Ruyi.

Her ghostly body could ignore all buildings and use it to probe the situation for no second.

Just when Ji Tianci was distressed, suddenly, an invisible fluctuation swept through the void.

This fluctuation is like a small pebble that falls into the calm water of the lake, causing a ripple.

Ji Tianci was very keen, and instantly grasped this invisible fluctuation and walked towards the source of the invisible fluctuation.

"Holes?"

In the backyard of the annex, Ji Tianci discovered a hidden hole.

The invisible fluctuation before came from the cave in the ground.

Shen Nian swept the hole in the ground and found that there was no strong man in ambush in the cave.

Ji Tianci condensed, then walked into the cave and took a look.

After a cup of tea, Ji Tianci came to the depths of the cave, and an altar appeared in his eyes.

This altar, which occupies a circumference of ten zhang in the area, is built with a lot of white bones, and exudes a cold atmosphere, so that the air temperature in the cave drops sharply.

Around the altar, there were blood stains, some of which were black, some of which were dark red.

Apparently there has been more than one bloodshed at this altar.

Even the air was faintly filled with the smell of blood, as if to tell Ji Tianci that there had been massacres here again and again.

Ji Tianci climbed the altar and saw that there were heads buried in the white bone altar.

The faces of these heads are only seven or eight years old, and the youngest is a three-year-old child.

Such a cruel scene made Ji Tianci couldn't help but gasp.

"The orphan adopted by Tao Tianming never showed up again."

"It turns out that this is the reason!"

"The orphans who were adopted by Tao Tianming were all treated as blood sacrifices."

For more than 20 years, more than 20,000 orphans have been sacrificed in blood like pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.

Even, through these bloodstains, Ji Tianci can still feel the fear and despair of these children.

Ji Tianci knelt down on one knee, pressed his right hand on the altar, closed his eyes, and meditated.

In Ji Tianci's induction, there was not just one such altar, but a full nine.

Nine altars, one main and eight auxiliary, are in different places in Jiangdu.

Among them, the location of the main altar is the Prime Minister's Mansion where Ji Tianci went during the day.

"Although I don't know what the White Bone Hall has in Jiangdu, these nine altars cost a lot, and they are by no means a whim."

"If the White Bone Palace's plan succeeds, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable."

Ji Tianci's heart sank, and he withdrew from the cave with a displeased face.

As soon as he left the cave, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the night.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you are actually in Jiangdu."

"It seems that it was you who wandered around at the door of the old man's mansion during the day!"

This abrupt cold snort, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, suddenly exploded in Ji Tianci's ears.

Ji Tianci's eyes were solemn, and his eyes were staring at the old man in front of him.

Tao Tianming!

Or is it ...... The hall master of the White Hall of Bones?

Ji Tianci stared at the white-bearded old man with sharp eyes, and snorted.

"Who the hell are you?"

"You can call me Prime Minister, but of course I prefer another one-"

"Hall Master!"

Tao Tianming said with a smile, his voice and demeanor were obviously very kind, like greeting old friends. But it just gave Ji Tianci a creepy feeling, like a man's back.

"What are your plans in the White Bone Hall in Jiangdu? What exactly are these nine altars for? Ji Tianci asked, his eyes glowing with coldness.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't you know that it is a very powerless thing to probe into other people's secrets at will?"

"Of course, if you're really curious, this seat can let you experience it for yourself."

"Experience what happened to those orphans!"

Tao Tianming was like a smiling tiger, with a smile on his face and hideous words in his mouth.

"Just you?"

"Do you think you should keep me?"

Ji Tianci glanced at Tao Tianming, looking relaxed, but his heart was full of vigilance.

The left and right protectors of the White Bone Hall are both strong among the great grandmasters.

Tao Tianming was able to suppress the two of them and become the hall master of the White Bone Palace, his strength needless to say, he must be the most powerful grandmaster who broke the limit twelve times.

Facing the most powerful grandmaster who broke the limit twelve times, no matter how confident Ji Tianci was, he didn't think he was Tao Tianming's opponent.

However, what Ji Tianci wanted to do was not to defeat Tao Tianming, but to retreat and tell Emperor Han Wen the news of his investigation in the other courtyard.

Not to mention......

Ji Tianci touched the jade talisman given to him by Emperor Xiaoyuan.

This jade talisman is his greatest confidence.

Bang!

The sound of the sword, under the darkness of the night, sounded suddenly.

Immediately after, a ten-zhang tall sword qi erupted from Ji Tianci's hand.

"Slash!"

As soon as Ji Tianci made a move, it was the strongest martial art he mastered, the Five Emperor Sword.

With the sword qi shooting out, the thunder roared in the sword qi, constantly sounding, as if it was an endless thunder hell, endless.

The sword aura is in the air.

Criss-crossed.

The sharpness of the Blue Emperor's Thunder Sword seemed to be able to cut through the void.

Before it fell, it was on the ground, and a deep sword mark was cut.

Tao Tianming faced the surging sword qi, his face was unmoved, and he was extremely calm.

I saw him flick his index finger.

Clank!

Tao Tianming's fingertips slammed into the thunder sword qi, and it actually made a sound like metal colliding.

In the next second, the sword qi of the Blue Emperor Canglei Sword seemed to have received an invisible huge force.

The ten-zhang high sword qi was stunned by Tao Tianming's fingers, flew upside down for more than ten zhang, and fell to the ground.

Boom!

A huge crater was blasted out of the ground, purple thunder, flashing and jumping.

Tao Tianming looked at the constantly beating thunder, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"The sword is like glass, and its sound is like thunder!"

"This ...... Isn't it...... The Ancestral Dragon Emperor's Blue Emperor Canglei Sword? ”

A surprise came out of Tao Tianming's mouth, accompanied by a faint surprise in his eyes.

"Your vision is not bad!"

"I actually recognized the Five Emperor Sword of the Ancestral Dragon Emperor!" Ji Tianci said coldly, still a little frightened and surprised in his heart.

The Five Emperors Sword was actually flicked away by Tao Tianming's finger.

This kind of strength, among the people Ji Tianci knows, I am afraid that only Emperor Xiaoyuan can fight with it.

Of course, the extremely mysterious prison may also have the strength to suppress Tao Tianming.

"Ancestral Dragon Emperor, Five Emperor Sword!" Tao Tianming's tone was deep and far-reaching, and he said thoughtfully, "Ji Tianci, your luck is really not ordinary!" ”

"Even the Five Emperors Sword, which has been lost for two thousand years, has reappeared in your hands."

"But it's all a futile struggle."

"In the face of the absolute strength gap, the Five Emperor Swords can't save you."

As soon as the words fell, Tao Tianming raised his hand and clenched his fist.

A punch comes out.
