As night fell, the laurel moon hung high.

Hong Dingwu found General Heng, and the two of them wore black clothes to explore the fire mansion at night.

When the two of them stepped into the Fire Mansion, they found that there was no fire in the Fire Mansion, and it was silent, and they had never heard the sound of insects hissing, which was too quiet for Hong Dingwu and Jiang Heng to feel that something was wrong.

Jiang Heng and Hong Dingwu glanced at each other, and said suspiciously, "Something is wrong, why is the lights of the huge Fire Mansion all turned off at this point?" And there is not even a night patrol, and all the guards are gone." ”

Then, the two cautiously came to the room where the descendants of the Fire Mansion lived, but they didn't find any people, they went to other rooms to check one room after another, but they still didn't find a single figure, and even the next person's residence could not see the slightest figure, the huge Fire Mansion was like a ghost house, empty, and frighteningly quiet.

"How come there are thousands of people in the Fire Mansion and their subordinates, why is there not a single figure?" Hong Dingwu asked suspiciously.

"When I passed by the gate of Huofu during the day, I also saw people coming and going in Huofu, why did they suddenly disappear, and I didn't hear the news of Huofu's family relocation. ”

"Otherwise, tomorrow we will come to squat in advance and see how the people of the Fire Mansion have disappeared. Hong Dingwu proposed.

"Good. ”

After that, the two left the Fire Mansion together.

During the daytime the next day, Hong Dingwu deliberately passed by Huofu, only to find that there were people coming and going, so it was not lively.

At dusk, Hong Dingwu and Jiang Heng came to a tall and luxuriant tree outside the Fire Mansion and observed every move of the Fire Mansion.

They found that when night fell, the door of the fire house was closed, and there was no place for the fire house to light candles, and the whole fire house fell into darkness.

The two found that when the night covered the earth, the subordinates and guards who were originally full of aura in the Fire Mansion instantly became wooden and stood in place, and the whole scene became extremely weird.

It didn't take long for the Fire Mansion to fall into a dead silence, Hong Dingwu and Jiang Heng jumped from the tree, crossed the wall, and entered the Fire Mansion, they checked several nearby rooms, and found that there was really no one inside.

Then they walked in the direction of the people in the Fire Mansion, but as they walked, they found that there was a tall wall in front of them, and there was no way out.

They checked several nearby rooms, which were still empty, and they crossed the fence to the other side of the wall, only to find that there were no footprints on the dirt there, and they continued to search for hundreds of meters, but still could not see any footprints.

"Strange, where have so many people gone? Besides, not everyone can climb such a high wall, is there any large-scale spatial teleportation technique in this world?" Hong Dingwu was puzzled.

"What nonsense, even your family doesn't have that thing, let alone a fire family. ”

The two returned to the Fire Mansion and searched carefully for a long time, but still found nothing.

"What the hell?" Jiang Heng frowned, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings, but there was silence around him, and there was no clue to speak of.

Hong Dingwu also frowned, could it be that the Fire Mansion is actually a ghost mansion?

Suddenly, Hong Dingwu set his eyes on a dry well located in the corner, "Eh, Brother Heng, will it ......." ”

Hong Dingwu raised his chin at the dry well and gestured.

The two of them came to the side of the dry well, because the dry well was covered with stone slabs, so there were no footprints to speak of.

The two looked at the dry well for a long time, and Jiang Heng suddenly pointed to the edge of the dry well and said, "Look here, it is obviously smoother than other places, which means that the people of the Fire Mansion are likely to go down the well with their hands." ”

"Go down and have a look?" Hong Dingwu suggested.

The two of them were bold and bold, and they didn't make any preparations, so they jumped straight down.

The bottom of the well was damp silt and covered with rotting dead leaves.

Looking at the artificially dug tunnel at the bottom of the well, Hong Dingwu and Jiang Heng knew that they had come to the right place.

"This path should lead directly below the Fire Mansion. Hong Dingwu said.

"Well, go see what the hell the people in Huofu are doing?"

With that, the two of them slowly leaned forward along the path.

It didn't take long for their horizons to widen up in an instant, and a terrifying scene appeared in front of the two of them.

Before their eyes appeared a large room, and in the center of the room, a mountain of corpses was piled up.

Small holes were carved around the room, and at the entrance of each small hole there was a person sitting cross-legged, and black gas floated out of the corpse and entered their bodies.

The eerie and terrifying aura made the two of them feel cold in their hearts.

The two glanced at each other, and then exited the dry well together.

"What kind of evil skill is this, actually cultivating with a corpse? That breath is a little bit like the breath of magic skills. Hong Dingwu frowned and said with palpitations.

"I haven't heard of such weird exercises, but I can recognize that most of the people in them are high-level people in the Fire Mansion, but I didn't expect that the Fire Family, one of the three major families in Linyang City, turned into a demon cave. Jiang Heng's eyes were full of disbelief.

"But where have so many of the people in the Fire Mansion gone?"

"Who knows, let's go, discuss with the Leng family master before making a decision. ”

After returning to Lengfu, Hong Dingwu and Jiang Heng went straight towards Leng Feng's courtyard.

"Why did you come to my house in such a hurry?" Leng Feng was lighting a candle and reading ancient books in the courtyard.

"Uncle Leng, in the past two days, I have visited the Fire Mansion for two nights, and I found that the Fire Mansion has disappeared every night, and the entire Fire Mansion is empty. And when we searched carefully, we found that there were many corpses hidden under the Fire Mansion, and the corpses were piled up in a mountain, and the upper echelons of the Fire Mansion were using these corpses for cultivation. Hong Dingwu took the teapot on the table, poured it violently, and hurriedly said.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Leng Feng put down the book in his hand, lowered his head and pondered for a long time, "If this is the case, then Linyang City will face ** trouble." ”

"Master Leng, where do you start with this?" Jiang Heng was puzzled, even if the demons were making trouble, it could be easily settled with the power of the Leng Mansion alone.

"Do you know where the Fire Mansion got so many corpses?" Leng Feng asked.

"Is it a skill arena?" said Shohyung.

Five years ago, the three major families joined forces to build a technical arena to allow death row prisoners imprisoned in Linyang City to fight to the death, and promised that those who won fifty consecutive games could not only be acquitted, but also receive rich rewards, and anyone who had undying grievances could come to the stage to compete, life or death, after stepping down, no matter what the outcome was, the past would be written off, and relatives and friends on both sides would no longer pick quarrels and provoke trouble. Since the emergence of competition, it has brought a lot of income to Linyang City, and the security of Linyang City has become much better

Praise the arena as a great invention. Now it seems that things are far from that simple. ”

"And there is one more thing you may not know, the Zhengyang Sect once laid out the Zhengyang Formation in Linyang City, and the three formations of the Zhengyang Great Array are located in the mansions of the three major families in Linyang. ”

"The other party can control the three major families under the nose of the cold mansion, it seems that the other party is not small. Hong Dingwu groaned.

"And they've been planning for five years, and what they're planning must be no small. Jiang Heng also said.

"Well, now it's a five-year Yangzhou competition, young talents from all over Yangzhou flock into Linyang City, presumably the demons are trying to do this, the demons are the best at cultivating with people, if the warriors of Linyang City are used by it, they will be able to create a big devil whose strength is not less than that of the top masters. Leng Feng said with a serious face, the seriousness of the matter was beyond his control.

"Leng Zhu, please go to the Du family and the Xiang family to see if these two houses are also all lights out and empty. ”

"Yes, sir. A voice came through the air.

"Leng Zhu, one of the eight top guards of the Leng family?" Hong Dingwu asked.

He has always heard of the prestige of the eight masters of spring, summer, autumn and winter, Meilan, Zhuju, but he has never been able to meet, and they are the eight masters of the fortune realm.

"Exactly, you will have the opportunity to meet in the future, just now you said that the Fire Family cultivates with corpses, so I thought of a sect that has disappeared for many years. ”

"What sect?"

"The Corpse Sect, more than 500 years ago, when the Zhengyang Sect did not exist, the first sect in the world at that time was the Corpse Sect, but the cultivation methods of the Corpse Sect were extremely disgusting, they actually used corpses to cultivate, and even enslaved corpses to fight for them, and the ancestral tombs of all the major sects and families in the rivers and lakes were basically ruined by them. made all the people in the rivers and lakes complain, and they wanted to break their corpses into thousands of pieces.

However, at that time, the corpse holding sect was in full swing, and they were extremely good at currying favor with the imperial court and offering various health preservation methods to the emperor, which was deeply favored by the emperor at that time, and people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes had nothing to do with them. At this time, the world's first master at that time, the Pure Yang Dao Chang founded the Zhengyang Sect, the only purpose of the Zhengyang Sect is to eradicate the corpse sect, to Kuang Zhengdao, people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes have joined the camp of the Zhengyang Sect, and the corpse sect launched a hundred years of war, that is the bleakest hundred years in the rivers and lakes, countless heroes died in this battle, and finally this battle ended with the corpse sect being wiped out.

However, although the Corpse Sect was destroyed, in the past few hundred years, people have still found a lot of traces of the remnants of the Corpse Sect. The cold wind's expression was as cold as ice, and the temperature around him plummeted.
