The mountains and forests are lush, and Xuanyuan walks through them, and a wisp of breeze under his feet condenses and does not disperse, turning the original heavy body into a light and heavy feather.

It has been a day and a half since I left Mitian New Area.

Because he was walking on foot, Xuanyuan chose to go directly over the mountains and mountains, avoiding a lot of detours. Therefore, even if he didn't take the Federation's iron truck, Xuanyuan's speed was not much slower.

Seeing that it was only half an hour's walk away from Pinghu Villa, a sudden call of surprise and urgency suddenly sounded in Xuanyuan's ears: "Xuanyuan Dao Chang, Xuanyuan Dao Chang! I'm here! I'm Ning Mude!"

Isn't this the mortal who sold a Xuanhai Blue Pearl, as an ordinary pearl, to himself? For this reason, Xuanyuan and the old man of Minshan also formed a bond that was not too big or small.

Xuanyuan looked at Ning Mude's appearance in front of him, and his footsteps couldn't help but pause - at this moment, Ning Mude was rushing towards him with a disgraced face.

His mouth was grinning, and his face was filled with a smile of joy, and even Xuan Yuan could see that there was a mixture of sweat and dust sticking to his cheeks.

I don't know which muddy ground he rolled on, and his whole body was dusty. Before he got closer, Xuan Yuan smelled a special smell on his body - the smell of blood!

With a sigh in his heart, Xuan Yuan asked in a deep voice: "Ning Mude, aren't you waiting for me to come back and give you alchemy at Pinghu Villa? Why are you still like this when you appear here now!"

Panting heavily, Ning Mude, who came to Xuanyuan's side, softened his whole body and almost fell into Xuanyuan's arms.

"What are you doing!" Xuan Yuan looked stunned, but after a moment, he immediately noticed something unusual.

Helping Ning Mude's body up, a trace of fierceness flashed in Xuanyuan's eyes, and the clear light inspired by the Xuanyuan Protector Spell flashed violently on the surface of his body.

The next moment, a vague black shadow screamed, dissipating invisibly in the clear light.

"It's already weak, and you've been possessed by a ghost after a demerit, it's not bad that you can hold on to this point. Looking at Ning Mude, whose body was gradually regaining his mobility, Xuanyuan straightened him.

"Breathe a sigh and tell me what's going on, what's going on in the villa now?"

Ning Mude sat paralyzed for a long time before he came back to his senses, sat up straight with difficulty, and said to Xuan Yuan: "Someone is attacking the villa, they are all wearing black robes and holding small lamps of various styles in their hands. ”

After thinking for a moment, he added: "When I was running away, I seemed to hear a few people shouting about what kind of light ......."

"Yes, the Ancient Temple of the Dark Lantern! That group of people seems to be from an organization called the Ancient Temple of the Dark Lantern. ”

Xuan Yuan was stunned.

Since Yuliuzi went up the mountain, Xuanyuan felt that his understanding of the inland, the inland sea and the outer islands was really limited, and whenever he had free time, he would listen to Yuliuzi explain some strange things.

And the Ancient Temple of Youdeng is a sect that Yuliuzi focuses on - the reason why it is mentioned without him is because this sect is really domineering, ruthless, and resolute to the extreme.

The disciples of the Ancient Temple of the Ghost Lantern, whether they are the main vein or the branch vein, the person who passed it on or entered the room, the elder or the disciple, are all a [soul-attracting lamp] in each person's hand.

The so-called soul-attracting ghost lamp, as the name suggests, is that it can store souls in the lamp, and transform these souls into another form of Yin soldiers, so as to be driven by the ghost lantern people.

In the beginning, most of the ghost lanterns were made of locust wood, and they only had the rudiments of magic weapons, but as more and more souls were absorbed, and the magic techniques entered by the people of the ghost lantern sect became more and more perfect, this magic artifact embryo would gradually transform into a real magic weapon.

From the pitch-black yin locust wood, to the dark purple ghost exorcism wood, to the dark blue warm soul wood, and finally to the azure Cangming wood, the magic weapons of the soul attraction ghost lamp have fully crossed the three levels of enlightening magic objects, magic weapons, and magic weapons.

It is rumored that this ghost lantern ancient temple was once rampant in the inland sea, and its ancestor "Dark Lantern Niangniang" even raised the ghost lantern to the magic weapon level.

It's a pity that due to the too large demand for souls for the promotion of the ghost lantern, the entire sect has embarked on an evil path. In the end, it was wiped out by the Lanshan Qintai, the East China Sea Guiyuan Temple, and the [Donghua Pool], which had long been hidden in the sea of fog.

Xuan Yuan didn't think about it for long, and continued to ask about the specific situation: "Do you know how many people in the black robe there are?

"Probably, there are about twenty or thirty people, right? Donald, they were all trapped in the lobby at the top of the mountain, and the rest of them were driven out. ”

"Driven out?" Xuan Yuan was stunned, "The other party didn't kill anyone!"

Ning Mude nodded, but his expression did not show any relief: "Although we have driven people out, before everyone is driven out, they will shake the lamp in their hands above our heads. ”

"After several people were shaken by the lamp, their faces turned white. ”

Xuanyuan suddenly realized that the trick of the people in the Ancient Temple of the Ghost Lantern was not clever.

It did not cause the anger of the heavens to kill them all, nor did it arouse the disgust and vigilance of the Federation, but at the same time, it also really benefited - sucking most of the essence of these monks, presumably, the quality of the ghosts in the ghost lamps in their hands will be greatly improved.

"Do you have a glimmer of salt, are you afraid of the Federation, or do you obey the Federation?" Xuan Yuan muttered, no longer lingering, and rushed straight to Pinghu Villa.

"Hey, what about me, what should I do!"

"Hide!"

......

......

When he came to the gate of Pinghu Villa, before he entered, Xuanyuan's heart had sunk.

In the villa, there is no longer a living person.

It was supposed to be an ancient building complex, but now, it should be destroyed. Gravel, sawdust, broken walls, debris...... It looked as if robbers had crossed the border and looted the place.

The most striking thing is the synagogue at the top of the villa, which constantly emits black smoke. The wooden walls of the synagogue were torn and the doors were wide open.

Xuan Yuanmu didn't make a sound, just hurried towards the top of the villa.

As soon as he walked into the villa, a sense of watching suddenly struck, Xuanyuan waved a thunderbolt expressionlessly, and a miserable howl came from a dark corner not far away, and a vague shadow appeared, quickly fleeing into the distance.

It's just that how could Xuan Yuan let it go? Seeing that a beam of thunder light was about to be triggered again, a loud shout suddenly came from the distance: "You dare!"

The main master finally came, and when he heard a voice in the distance, the speed at which Xuan Yuan pinched the magic technique in his hand not only did not slow down, but became more rapid.

With a burst of light in his hand, the shadows in the distance suddenly vanished.

"You!" the black-robed man who had spoken earlier was furious when he saw this.

As soon as the words fell, the realm of the five black-robed people stationed in the mountain villa landed in front of Xuan Yuan, and one of the black-robed people holding a sandalwood ghost lamp stepped forward.

When he raised his hand, a few wisps of black mist flowed out from the ghost lamp in his hand, instantly turning into four or five miserable ghosts, roaring straight towards Xuanyuan.

"A lonely ghost who doesn't make the climate. Xuan Yuan glanced at the group of ghosts with teeth and claws, his gaze did not change in the slightest, and with a wave of his robe, a large area of blue flames erupted from it.

The black-robed man in the distance felt the blazing flames, and his face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly planned to summon all the yin spirits back into the ghost lamp.

However, even so, it was still a step too late.

Seeing that his subordinates had planted a big heel and detected the approximate level of Xuanyuan, the black-robed man in the center of the five people finally took a step forward.

The dark blue lamp in his hand is ghostly and faint.
