In the depths of the Scorpion Valley, in a dark and huge karst cave, a thrilling execution is taking place at this moment.

The flickering torches, the light and darkness of the fire, reflected on the bound monks, adding a bit of mystery to this dark place.

The monks of the Zhu family in red clothes and the monks of the An family in green clothes all had cold faces, and their eyes flashed with determination.

They held sharp weapons tightly in their hands, facing several captured Qin family spies.

These spies played a role in the previous chaos.

The poison dart that broke the confrontation was shot by one of the spies.

If it weren't for this poison dart aimed at Li Haohan, the Li family and Zhu and An would have fought at most, and most of them would not have been able to fight, after all, it is not easy to cultivate, and anyone would be sparing their lives.

At the moment they were firmly bound and unable to move.

"You traitors!" Zhu Yantian roared angrily, the long knife in his hand was raised high, and the tip of the knife pointed directly at the heart of a Qin family spy, "Today, I will make you pay the price!" ”

The Qin family spy had a pale face, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and fear. He struggled to escape, but the restraints were too tight to move. He could only watch as the tip of the knife approached, his heart filled with despair.

"If you do this, aren't you afraid of the Qin family's revenge?" He hissed and shouted, "I'm a descendant of the Qin family, if you kill me, the Qin family will definitely not let you go!" ”

Zhu Yantian trembled slightly when he held the sharp knife, and when he looked back from the corner of his eyes, his eldest nephew Li Haohan and the eldest elder of the Li family, Zhao Ling'er, all looked at him coldly.

If you don't submit your name today, you will die by yourself, as the so-called dead friends do not die in poverty.

Zhu Yantian could still see the situation clearly, and he sneered: "Do you think our Zhu family will be afraid of your Qin family?" Don't forget, now it's our Zhu family, the An family and the Li family join forces, we are both prosperous and lossy, no matter how strong your Qin family is, it can't resist our unity. ”

As Zhu Yantian's words fell, the dagger of unity stabbed into the body of the Qin family's spies. Blood gushed out, staining his shirt red. There was an expression of disbelief on the spy face, and his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that he was dying like this.

Several other Qin family spies were also terrified when they saw this. They begged for mercy one after another, and even did not hesitate to threaten the Zhu family and the monks of the An family. But no matter how much they struggled and begged for mercy, they could not change the fate of their imminent execution.

An Phantom also swung a knife of unity to show his loyalty, and he silently cut off the head of a Qin family monk.

From then on, Zhu and An could only follow the Li family and never turn back.

In the end, under the joint efforts of the Zhu family and the monks of the An family, these Qin family spies were executed one by one. Their bodies lay to the ground, blood staining the ground. And Zhu Yantian and the monks of the An family stood aside expressionlessly, as if all this had nothing to do with them.

After the incident, Li Haohan gave a deep salute to the young Zhao Ling'er: "Great Elder, if it weren't for your help this time, my Li family would probably face a catastrophe, and Haohan is grateful." ”

Great Elder Zhao Ling'er smiled slightly, and was about to say two polite words.

At this moment, a light purple light flashed, and a young man in a gorgeous costume appeared in front of the two, it was the ancestor of the Li family, Li Shuidao, a purple shadow ghost.

"Where is Li Tianjue?" Li Shuidao's eyes were like torches, approaching Li Haohan.

Li Haohan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the ancestor, my father is currently rescuing the trapped monks in the spirit stone mine. ”

A mocking sneer appeared at the corner of Li Shuidao's mouth, and he turned to Zhao Ling'er and said, "Let's go to the Spirit Stone Mine to have a look." ”

After speaking, he took Zhao Ling'er and left.

Li Haohan looked at the backs of the two of them, and felt uneasy in his heart: "Ancestor, now that the secret of the Spirit Stone Mine has been revealed, I am afraid that the three major families will take advantage of this to make trouble and force us to hand over the Spirit Stone Mine." ”

Li Shuidao's voice came from afar, as if from the sky: "They already know that the three major families will not have fewer shadows in the Li family, and now they are afraid that there will be a storm in the mine." ”

When Li Haohan heard this, his heart sank, he knew that what Li Shuidao said was true.

I'm afraid that the spirit stone mine has long been no secret, otherwise it would not have been discovered after the "Scorpion Girl", and the Qin family immediately drove the Zhu and An families to make trouble.

The three major families are not for the spirit stone mine, what they want are all foreign beasts.

After all, absorbing the Void Realm of Alien Beasts can directly improve cultivation, and this thing is a temptation that any third-order cultivator cannot refuse.

The three major families of "Ding, Qin, and Ma" are not true to each other, can my father bear it?

A flash of worry flashed in Li Haohan's eyes, and then he turned his head and shouted to the clansmen around him: "The Spirit Stone Mine is the foundation of my Li family, and it must not fall into the hands of others. Everyone prepare immediately, if there is an enemy attacking, you must defend it to the death! ”

The clansmen responded in unison, and their morale was high.

On the other side, Li Shuidao and Zhao Ling'er had already entered the mine.

The spirit stone mine cave was dim and abnormal, with only the occasional flickering light of the spirit stone, dotted on the stone wall like stars, illuminating the winding road ahead for them.

The air was filled with a faint metallic aura, as if every stone in this cave contained endless spiritual power.

They cautiously made their way through the winding tunnels until they came to a makeshift camp for miners.

There was a dead silence in the camp, littered with weapons and raged clothing, and it was clear that there had been a terrible battle here. What is even more shocking is that all the miners in the camp were killed.

Soon, Li Shuidao saw a familiar figure.

The woman was dressed in a Taoist robe and had a graceful demeanor, and it was Li Mingyue, the mentor who had taught him the formation. An indescribable excitement surged in Li Shuidao's heart, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Master! ”

However, Li Mingyue was already lying quietly on the ground, without life.

"Their storage bags have been taken away, not like the hands of high-ranking monks." Zhao Linger said on the side.

Li Shuidao looked down at the messy footprints on the ground, they were dense, like a silent carnival. On the walls, slender scratches loomed, which were left by the sharp toes of the scorpions, and many of them were even bloodstained, like a mysterious totem.

A group of half-human, half-scorpion beasts raided the place, slaughtered them all, and then flew away.

Li Shuidao stretched out his hand and gently stroked Li Mingyue's face.

His face was cold, but not yet fully hardened.

It's not hard to guess:

About an hour ago.

Li Haohan, the patriarch of the Li family, led most of the Li family members to intercept the monks of the "Zhu and An" families, leaving a small number of Li family monks to stay in the camp.

No sooner had they walked than a killing ensued here.

A large number of half-human, half-scorpion beasts emerged from the depths of the mine, killing everyone here, and after killing them, they immediately retreated before they even had time to devour the corpses.

"What's going on here!?" A large group of Li family monks dressed in white came in a majestic manner, and they all looked shocked to find that the originally safe camp had been slaughtered.

Li Shuidao's brows tightened, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible force silenced everyone, and he said in a deep voice: "Li Haohan, quickly lead everyone out of this place." Scorpio Valley has been classified as a forbidden place and no one is allowed to trespass. ”

Li Haohan's expression was solemn, and he clenched his fists and said, "Obey, Ancestor!" With that, he turned and waved his hand to the people behind him, and everyone immediately took action and left this bloody place in an orderly manner.

Li Shuidao turned to look at Zhao Ling'er who was standing aside, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. He said softly: "Ling'er, you can go out too." ”

Zhao Ling'er bit her lower lip lightly, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she still nodded obediently and said softly: "Yes, master." ”

When everyone left, leaving only Li Shuidao's lonely figure in the camp, he slowly turned around, his eyes like a torch, shooting straight into the dark depths of the mine. The entrance of the cave seemed to swallow up all the light, and only the faint sound of the wind echoed in it, with a hint of foreboding.

There is no doubt that the three major families of the Five Poisons Sect "Ding, Qin, and Ma" have already buried countless shadows within the Li family.

The Li family has long been infiltrated into a sieve, and the news of the appearance of the strange beasts in the underground mine has not only reached his ears through the channels of the dark hall, but also quickly reached the ears of the three major families through the channels of these dark houses.

The Phaseless True Monarch of the three major families may have already heard the wind, and maybe like Li Tianjue, they all fell into the depths of that cave.

It's just that a scorpion girl, a mere beast, can deal with the three unphased true monarchs and Li Tianjue for so long, and even dares to send his subordinates to raid the Terran camp, and then go away after killing them all.

Such an act showed that the Scorpion Girl didn't care about the high-level Terran cultivators, and even the three Phaseless True Monarchs and one Li Tian would never satisfy her appetite.

Is there something else hidden, or is this scorpion girl just a fool?

Li Shuidao's clenched fists, a deep purple glow flashed in his eyes.

Danger and opportunity are always with him, and the strength he has accumulated over the years is enough for him to remain calm and confident in the face of unknown dangers.

There was a dead silence in the mine, only the echo of Li Shuidao's footsteps echoed between the empty cave walls. He followed the unique trail left by the scorpion, step by step into the heart of the cave. There was an indescribable eerie atmosphere around it, as if even the air had frozen, which made people shudder.

As you go deeper, the temperature in the cave gradually decreases, and a palpitating sense of oppression permeates the air.

Li Shuidao's mind was tense and he didn't dare to be careless.

Finally, Li Shuidao came to a spacious and deep cave. The top of the cave is not high, and a faint hazy light falls from the top, enveloping the entire space in a hazy and mysterious light and shadow.

In this dim light, Li Shuidao saw a figure, a graceful woman. She stood there silently, as if cut off from the world, and everything around her could not reach her. Her posture is graceful and weird, and the fusion of her body and the body of a scorpion is vividly displayed in her.

Her human body is as fair as jade, with exquisite curves, revealing a cold and noble temperament. Her long hair was like ink, falling softly down her shoulders and swaying gently with her movements. Her face is beautiful and mysterious, and her deep eyes seem to be able to perceive people's hearts, making people dare not look at them.

And the part of her scorpion body is even more weird and eye-catching. Below her waist, there were no longer human legs, but a giant scorpion tail covered with sharp barbs. On the tail of the scorpion, there is also a huge scorpion, its body showing a deep purple color, emitting a faint fluorescence. The scorpion's forelimbs waved, as if to warn any enemy who dared to approach.

The woman stood there quietly like this, the perfect combination of her body and the body of a scorpion made her look both weird and beautiful.

Li Shuidao stared at the scorpion girl intently, his eyes flashing with a contemplative light.

Although judging from the breath, this scorpion female alien beast only has the strength of the third order, her ability to survive so far is an extremely strange thing in itself.

The two sides looked at each other for a long time, and Li Shuidao bowed, his voice gentle and sincere: "In Xia Li Shuidao, take the liberty to disturb the girl's Qingxiu." I don't know what to call the girl? ”

The scorpion girl tilted her head slightly, revealing a look of memory, and she spoke softly: "I'm just a strange beast, why should Childe be so profound?" ”

Li Shuidao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Where did Li Tianjue and the other three Phaseless True Monarchs go?" Are they in the area? ”

The scorpion girl shook her head: "I don't know who you are talking about. I had never seen the True Monarch before you came. ”

Li Shuidao's brows furrowed, he thought for a moment and then stared at the scorpion girl: "As a strange beast, your whereabouts are exposed in this place where monks gather, aren't you afraid of attracting the pursuit and killing of the Phaseless True Monarch?" In their eyes, you are a rare treasure of cultivation. ”

When the scorpion girl heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked up a mysterious smile: "Then why don't you do it?" ”

Li Shuidao's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you expecting me to do it?" ”

With that, he suddenly made a move, and in the palm of his hand, the black-purple flame burned fiercely, turning into a bright pillar of light, and directly blasted towards the scorpion girl. However, the pillar of light penetrated her figure, only touching a touch of light and shadow, and the scorpion girl was not substantially harmed.

Sure enough, it's just an illusion!

A sharp look flashed in Li Shuidao's eyes, and his gaze turned to the top of the cave, where there was a faint light, and it was this light that created the Scorpion Girl, and it was also the key to the illusion.

He urged the True Yuan in his body again, and the black-purple flames in his palm became even more vigorous. With a sudden wave of his hand, the pillar of light slammed into the dome again, and with a deafening explosion, the entire cavern was plunged into pitch black.

Purple light suddenly lit up in the pitch-black cave, and the purple light on Li Shuidao's body lit up the surroundings.

The real effect of this illusion is not to create a scorpion girl, but to cover up the fluctuations of the qi of heaven and earth.

There's a limbo right here!

An unfolded virtual realm, the two qi of heaven and earth in the virtual realm fluctuate violently, and it can be easily sensed.

In order to avoid herself, the scorpion girl opened the void and hid in the mustard seeds of Sumeru.

is so good, and dare to pretend to be a ghost, and now let you die or live!

Li Shuidao's face was indifferent, and there was even a majesty of a superior in his voice: "Don't think that if you close the virtual realm, I won't be able to enter." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly turned his palm into a knife and slashed through a spatial door out of thin air.

The spatial door was like a void crack, shimmering in the darkness. He pushed open the door of the space, stepped into it, and disappeared in place.

With the disappearance of Li Shuidao's figure, the door of space slowly closed, and the spirit stone mine cave was instantly shrouded in endless darkness and dead silence.

However, in the midst of this dead silence, there was a faint sound quietly, and this sound gradually amplified in the darkness and became clear, it was the crawling sound of Si Suosuo,

A figure gradually emerged from the darkness. It was a half-human, half-scorpion woman, her upper body was the appearance of a human woman, with a delicate face and fair skin like jade, and the lower body was a huge scorpion, with eight long legs supporting the entire body, and a sharp poisonous hook dragging on the tail.

Her eyes were firmly fixed on the "Land of Sumeru" where Li Shuidao had just disappeared, and although the spatial gate there had been healed, there was still the breath of Li Shuidao.

She quickly turned around, the huge scorpion body had unimaginable agility in the cave, and she quickly left the dark cave, and even the sound of a rushing wind was heard in the cave. (End of chapter)
