Huqi Mountain, where the main hall of the Ghost King Sect is located.

"Squeak, squeak!" Ash's familiar cry sounded in the deep passage, and out of the shadow of yīn came out of the ghostly figure, on his shoulder, Ash took the big wine bag and took a few sips, and then cleverly tied the mouth of the wine bag and hung it down. There is a slender string on the wine bag, which is tied to the monkey like a sleeve, and it is not afraid that it will fall.

Ghost Li was expressionless, and walked forward, looking in the direction of the cold stone room where Baguio was, Xiao Ash seemed to be a little sleepy, lying on his shoulder and yawning. Huqi Mountain is desolate, there are not many wild fruits, after Xiao Ash returned here, most of the time he could only go to the cellar of the Ghost King Sect to steal some wine to drink, and he didn't see a few rì, and it seemed to be fatter again.

The ghost walked slowly, but he rarely encountered the ordinary disciples of the Ghost King Sect along the way, he frowned slightly, many disciples in the Ghost King Sect were gathered, and they were led out of the mountain by the Ghost King himself before counting. As for his whereabouts, he didn't know, and the strange thing was that this seemingly very important matter, he, the deputy sect master, didn't know, and Youji, Mr. Ghost, including Cangsong Daoren, who had just joined the Ghost King Sect, and many of the Ghost King Sect's jīng characters he knew, all stayed in Huqi Mountain.

The Ghost King was so mysteriously led a weak army with a large number of people, but its strength was only less than half of that of the Ghost King Sect, where was he going? However, Mr. Ghost, Youji and the others remained silent, and Ghost Li naturally didn't say much, and what he cared about most was not where the Ghost King was going or how important this matter was, in his opinion, Baguio was always the first.

And now, he quickly came to the Ice Stone Room.

There is no one at the door, and Yu Ji is not here, and the place where I usually see this mysterious woman most often is the Ice Stone Room, but since this period of time, the atmosphere in the Ghost King Sect seems to be very wrong, and she has come here less often.

Ghost Li stood in the doorway for a moment, calmed down, and then pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a white and slender figure standing next to Baguio, he was stunned, at first he thought it was Youhime, but then he reacted, Youji has always been dressed in black, this is not her. Sure enough, when the woman in front of her heard the sound of the stone door and turned her head to look, her face was not covered with a black veil.

But it's a little white.

Ghost Li was slightly surprised, since the great wizard failed to cast the spell "Soul Summoning Attraction", he sadly left Huqi Mountain, and returned here, he has not seen Xiaobai again. Although he knew that there was an old acquaintance between Xiaobai and the ghost king from the scene of the ghost king and Xiao Bai meeting, he had no intention of asking about it.

At this moment, Xiaobai saw the ghost, and his face was also slightly stunned, and then he showed a faint smile and said, "It's you." ”

After all, Ghost Li had a relationship with Xiaobai, and Xiaobai had also pointed him out in saving Baguio, so he was still a little grateful in his heart, nodded at the moment, and said, "Hello." At this time, the monkey Xiao Gray who was lying on the shoulder of the ghost also squeaked twice happily at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai smiled at Xiao Ash, then looked at Ghost Li and said, "Are you here to see Baguio?"

Ghost Li walked up slowly, Baguio's beautiful and quiet face appeared in front of him again, and his voice gradually deepened, "Yes." ”

Xiao Bai quietly watched the man sit down beside Baguio, and then looked at the body lying on the cold stone platform, motionless. She sighed softly, shook her head, and quietly retreated, leaving only Ghost Li alone to face Baguio in the stone room.

I don't know how much time passed, the heavy stone door opened again, and Ghost Li slowly walked out of the cold stone room, looking at the past, Shen Sè seemed to be a little haggard again. He had just walked a few steps out of the stone room, and suddenly stopped, and on the passage not far from the stone room, the figure of the nine-tailed heavenly fox Bai Sè was still standing there patiently.

Xiaobai looked at his appearance, sighed, and said, "You must be sad to see Baguio like that, it's really hard for you." ”

Ghost Li Muran shook his head and said, "I'm fine." ”

Xiaobai walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't be discouraged, there is always hope." ”

The ghost shook his body, turned his head to look at her, and opened his mouth slightly, but Xiaobai saw his expression, and had already preemptively smiled bitterly: "Don't ask me, I don't know what to do now?"

The ghostly face darkened suddenly, turned around silently, and just wanted to take a step, when suddenly there was a buzz in his mind, only to feel that the sky was spinning for a while, and his whole body was cold in an instant, and the cold qi in his body was rising. The shock of the ghost is not trivial, the cold aura that is making a difference in his body at this moment is the demonic power of the blood devouring bead that he is very familiar with, but in rì, especially after he has practiced the three volumes of the Heavenly Book True Dharma Dao, this cold aura has gradually been restrained by him, and he is no longer strange, I don't know how to get it today, it suddenly broke out like this.

In less than a moment, under Xiao Bai's stunned eyes, all the blood on Ghost Li's face was lost, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and within three feet around his body, it was gradually shrouded by a strange dark green light emitted from his body, and there was a faint smell of fierce blood.

Xiao Bai's face changed, and he just stretched out his hand to help the ghost, but as soon as his hand touched the dark green light, he only felt a sucking demon power rushing towards him from the strange light, Xiao Bai frowned, and took three steps back, which avoided this demon power. And Xiao Ash, who was originally lying on Ghost Li's shoulder, had already found out that something was wrong at this moment, jumped away from Ghost Li's body early, fell behind Xiao Bai, opened his three eyes wide, and looked at his master in a daze.

Ghost's face was flushed with pain, his cuffs suddenly moved, a cold breath flashed, and the Soul Eater wand slipped out, and without even falling to the ground, it floated in front of him, slowly turning, as if looking at the man who had owned him for many years with a strange and cold gaze.

The flickering dark green sè mangs stretched and contracted, the air was full of a strange atmosphere, Xiao Bai's face was pale, and his brows were furrowed, but this blood-devouring demon power actually emanated from Ghost Li's body, even if he wanted to help Ghost Li and get rid of this sudden demon power, but the root was in Ghost Li's own body, how could he start? For a while, Xiao Bai was also at a loss.

Just when the ghost li's face became more and more pale, and it seemed that he couldn't even breathe, suddenly, a warm pure yang red light appeared on his chest, and he resisted this yīn cold demon power a lot, and the ghost sè moved, and sat down reluctantly, and the golden light and blue sè flashed at the same time on his face, and under the simultaneous urging of the two true methods of the righteous path in his body, "Xuanhuo Jian" The Pure Yang Fire became more and more vigorous, gradually suppressing this yīn cold aura, but by the time the ghost power fully recovered, it was already half an hour later.

At this moment, the ghost is powerful, and his whole body is already soaked, and when he opens his eyes, he sees Xiaobai's caring eyes.

Ghost Li smiled bitterly, but didn't say anything, and slowly stood up. Xiao Bai looked at him and said in a low voice, "Is it a blood devouring bead?"

Ghost Li picked up the Soul Eater wand that had fallen to the ground at some point, took a deep look, and then retracted it into his sleeve again.

The corners of Xiao Bai's eyes jumped, and he suddenly took a step forward, and said, "Don't think that if you don't say anything about others, you won't know, now the blood devouring bead's fierce demon power has begun to eat back against you." In the past ten years, the qi veins in your body have become cold and vicious because of getting along with this murderous thing, and now you can get away with death, but you are lucky enough to get one of the few magic weapons in this world that can compete with the blood devouring beads. But......" her face seemed a little desolate, and even her voice became vicissitudes, "but you are sure that you have escaped a few times, and next time, can you escape?"

Ghost Li had been standing there all the time, with no expression on his haggard face, quietly listening to Xiaobai's words, and after a while, he said softly: "I'm not sure, but what can I do?"

Xiao Bai Hao bit his lip and said angrily: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me, don't you know? Now you can only discard this evil thing immediately, and then you take Xuanhuo Jian to a place of the sun, and use the earth fire to urge Xuanhuo Jian pure yang into the body, this is the only way for you to live!"

Ghost Li looked at Xiaobai for a while, and suddenly smiled, and that smile looked a little incredibly innocent, as if ten years ago, the simple Qingyun boy.

Then, he turned around slowly, as if out of strength, and slowly walked towards the wall, and Xiao Ash immediately ran towards his master, and scurried to the shoulders of Ghost Li three times and two times.

Xiao Bai looked at the resolute but fragile back at the same time, and suddenly said loudly: "Do you want to die, you just want to die in your heart, right?"

The ghostly body paused, but did not look back, did not speak, and after a moment, he continued to walk forward.

Xiao Bai's voice came loudly from behind him: "Do you want to die, don't dream! How many debts do you owe to this world have not been paid off, do you want to die, impossible! You don't listen to me, okay, you are powerful, then I'll go by myself, I'll go to find the true method of the 'Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array', let you save yourself." You remember for me, Baguio is still lying in the cold stone room, and before she wakes up, you can't help you even if you want to die......"

"I can't help you, I can't help you, I can't help you......" In the long passage, there was a faint echo in the distance, the ghost's face was gloomy, and his body slowly straightened, but after all, he still didn't look back to look at it.

※※※

The dense forest, the secluded valley, the morning of the Snake Valley was originally a quiet and peaceful place, but at this moment, the earth gradually trembled, the fishy smell became heavier and heavier, and the countless poisonous snakes that had gathered and swam at the edge of the valley suddenly disappeared, as if they vaguely sensed something, and these animals were all hiding.

A black sè of smoke and dust appeared in the distance of the valley, and quickly surged towards the direction of the Valley of the Vipers, and a thick and choking breath came from the air, and the louder and louder roars gradually converged into a roar that overwhelmed the mountains and seas!

Getting closer!

"Roar, ah, ah, ah......"

It was a myriad of monsters, such as the evil ghosts and fierce spirits that rushed out of the Nine Hells, blood-red eyes, sharp fangs, and sharp roars. All kinds of strangely shaped monsters and monsters converged into an unstoppable turbulent torrent, in the face of this vicious torrent, there was no one to stop and survive, and even the forest trees on both sides of the road were quickly swallowed by the torrent in the earth-shattering roar.

Without hesitation, without pause, this torrent rushed directly into the Valley of the Viper, like the black sè cháo water instantly rushed into the sea of green sè, and in all corners of the forest, there were constantly frightened vipers being thrown out, desperately struggling in the torrent, but without exception, they were instantly drowned. Even the poisonous mist in the forest could not stop the terrible torrent of beasts, and the dozen or so beasts that rushed to the front fell to the ground and died, but more countless beasts and demons stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed unstoppably, and the powerful hurricane blew away the poisonous mist in the blink of an eye and drifted into the sky above the forest.

In the torrent of black beast demons, there were four or five powerful demon beasts that looked dozens of times larger than ordinary monsters, leading their subordinates to rush forward with their teeth and claws. And at the entrance to Viper Valley, there are still countless monsters rushing in.

The entire Viper Valley seemed to be trembling at the moment. When you look at it, it seems to be the last scene in this world.

At the other end of the Viper Valley, the Ghost King who stood on a high place took a deep breath, although he had seen the power of the beast demon, but the scene in front of him still made him squirrel, he settled down, pondered for a moment, and looked at the forest in the north of the Viper Valley, under the early morning sun, the forest was faintly reflected in the flash.

A sneer slowly appeared at the corner of the Ghost King's mouth: One day, you will all know who is the one who wins in the end?

He roared in his heart, and the look on his face gradually became stiff, Baguio is gone, so use the world to make up for it!

He turned around slowly, and in the dense forest behind him, there were the disciples of the Ghost King Sect, standing densely packed in the forest, with high fighting spirit. The Ghost King looked at these people in front of him, countless eyes staring at his face.

At that moment, who knows how he feels?

The slowly rising arm seemed to become heavy, and the distant roar and the gradual panic cry seemed to have reached here, and the face of the ghost king suddenly changed again, and then, he waved the raised arm heavily.

The arm is like a knife, like a sharp blade slashing into the world, cutting off the last warmth, tearing apart the dreams that once existed, and the sound of the arm in the wind seems to be like a fracture piercing the chest!

Countless people, behind his majestic back, let out a blood-boiling cry, raised their sharp blades and rushed down the mountain, their clothes fluttering, the wind blowing, and the trees in the forest swaying, as if they were also dancing wildly for this. The Ghost King stood in the middle of the crowd, motionless like a hard, cold rock, and he turned to look at the forest to the north, where the forest was also moving and gradually spreading.

The ghost king laughed, he suddenly laughed loudly in the sea of people who were dying, the laughter was so harsh but no one dared to ask him a word, only the sun that had just risen in the morning, still with a faint warmth to pounce on this crazy earthly world!

※※※

Seven years later, entrusted by Dao Xuan Zhenren, Puhong Venerable Master, Yun Yilan and other righteous path leaders, the righteous path disciples who set out from Qingyun Mountain arrived in the southwest. Because of the importance of the matter, the three major factions have sent their most powerful disciples, as if it was a coincidence, these people have already known each other for a long time.

Xiao Yicai, Lin Jingyu and Lu Xueqi of Qingyun Gate, Fa Xiang and Fa Shan of Tianyin Temple, Li Xun and Yan Hong of Incense Valley, a group of seven people, after starting from Qingyun Mountain, they were cautious along the way, day and night, trying to avoid conflicts with the beast demons on the road, and rushed to the southwest at full speed, hoping to find out why a large number of beast demons suddenly converged on this place.

When these righteous path disciples first embarked on the road, although they knew that this trip was extremely dangerous, for the sake of the common people in the world, none of them had the intention of retreating. But after arriving at the seventh rì after their trip, all the people had become pale, and they were silent all night, including Xiao Yicai, who was the best at words, Fa Xiang behind Dingli, and even Li Xun, who had been wanting to talk to Lu Xueqi along the way, all fell silent.

The further south you go, the more tragic the situation becomes. Either the corpses of the entire village and the entire city are all over the field, and the bones are forested, or the villages one after another are deserted, and the fertile fields are turned into scorched earth. No one knows why these beasts and demons actually set fire to it, why they are so cruel and blood-devouring, just like no one knows, when will this catastrophe end?

The ghostly roar seems to echo forever in the wilderness of the southern land, telling the sad and miserable past.

After entering the southwest region, the group was more cautious, but they were facing a great trouble at the moment, first of all, they couldn't find the local residents at all, all the people either fled to the north before the beast demon came, or they had died tragically in this catastrophe, so these righteous path disciples had no way to ask the locals about the movements of these beast demons. On the other hand, most of those beasts and demons do not understand people's language, even if they took the risk of catching a few beast monsters, most of them were roaring and struggling, where can they ask something?

In desperation, after the group discussed, they finally had to follow Xiao Yicai's suggestion and take the risk to secretly follow the beast demons, where the beast demons gathered, where to go, to see what these beast demons were going to do? But despite this, they still have nothing to gain.

Just when they began to gradually lose heart, an accident, they actually found a demon disciple who had gone crazy in a forest where the beast demon passed, and after careful questioning by everyone, or it can be said to be patient coaxing, they gradually knew that the beast demon entered the southwest this time, and it turned out to be a big battle with the demon sect, and the result of the battle was that the beast demon won a complete victory, and the three major factions of the demon sect, which were once arrogant and invincible, were almost all wiped out in this war.

This news immediately stunned everyone, and among the crowd, Lu Xueqi, who was standing at the farthest distance, was especially pale!

Looking at this poor man who was huddled in a ball, constantly muttering "monster, monster" in his mouth, and from time to time his whole body suddenly trembled, frightened and screaming madman, the hearts of the seven people of the righteous path were clouded with a heavy shadow.

Xiao Yicai coughed, looked at Faxiang, and said, "Senior Brother Faxiang, we are generally clear about the shape now, what do you think we should do?"

Fa Xiang frowned, glanced at the poor man who was cowering on the ground, sighed, and said, "Amitabha, sin, sin. After a pause, the Fa Xiang said slowly, "Everyone, in fact, the purpose of our trip is now roughly known, and the little monk thinks that it is better for us to go back to the mountain first and tell a few division commanders about the current situation." ”

"No!"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the side, and everyone was stunned, the person who spoke turned out to be Lu Xueqi, who had been the most taciturn along the way. Fa Xiang was a little surprised, and said, "Senior Sister Lu has any other opinions, please speak." ”

Lu Xueqi's face was still very pale, but her voice was extremely calm, and she said lightly: "The qiqi we know now is all from the mouth of this demon sect disciple who has gone crazy, and when he spoke just now, he turned it upside down, turned it over and over, and many places were our own guesses. I don't think it's appropriate to think that we have fulfilled the tasks assigned by the teachers and commanders. ”

Fa Xiang fell silent, everyone looked at each other, and after a while, Fa Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, what Senior Sister Lu said is indeed reasonable, just now the little monk was too anxious." ”

Xiao Yicai pondered for a moment and said, "What Senior Sister Lu said has some truth, but we have come to investigate in the southwest at night, but we don't have the slightest clue, do we have to investigate like this in the future?"

The corners of Lu Xueqi's mouth moved, but she didn't say anything, obviously she couldn't think of any good solution to the current dilemma. But at this time, Li Xun, who had been looking at Lu Xueqi from time to time, suddenly took a step forward and said, "I have a way, maybe there is some hope." ”

Everyone was taken aback, even Lu Xueqi glanced at Li Xun a few more times, and Fa Xiangxi said, "Seriously, Senior Brother Li, please speak." ”

Li Xun took a deep breath, let himself not look at Lu Xueqi's eyes, and said, "I listened carefully to this madman just now, and I heard him mention a place name several times, called 'Snake Valley', I don't know if you have paid attention?"

Xiao Yicai nodded and said, "Yes, I noticed it too." I have heard of this poisonous snake valley before, and the legend is that it is a valley deep in the mountains here in the southwest, in which countless poisonous snakes are gathered, and there is a poisonous miasma in the forest. After a long time, no one knew the exact location of the valley anymore. ”

Lin Jingyu suddenly said: "Senior Brother Li didn't think that this battle between the Beast Demon and the Demon Sect was fought in this legendary Viper Valley?"

Li Xun nodded and said categorically: "Yes, I deduce that there is a decisive battle in the Poisonous Snake Valley, and even more, I think that this Poisonous Snake Valley may be the headquarters of one of the three major factions of the Demon Sect." As long as we can find out there, we will be able to figure out if this madman is telling the truth?"

Yan Hong, who had been silent all along, suddenly said at this moment: "But senior brother, many days have passed, let's not talk about whether we can find that Viper Valley at this moment, even if we find it, the scene there may not be able to maintain its original appearance......"

Li Xun said coldly: "Senior sister, have you forgotten that those cruel beasts and demons will indeed set fire to eat people, but after setting fire, there will also be ruins and broken walls, and beasts and demons will eat people, but they will not eat bones!"

Everyone's faces changed, Yan Hong's face turned pale after hearing it, and she suddenly felt nauseous and vomiting, obviously all the tragic things they had seen along the way had gradually reached the psychological limit of this woman.

Li Xun sighed and stopped talking, Fa Xiang and Fa Shan whispered the Buddha's name at the same time, Xiao Yicai shook his head, walked over to Yan Hong's side, and comforted her in a low voice, and when Yan Hong's expression gradually calmed down, he turned around and slowly walked to the Demon Sect disciple who was still shrunk on the ground trembling slightly, and squatted down.

"Do you know where the Viper Valley is?" Xiao Yicai tried to make his voice as soft as possible, sounding a little kind, but the Demon Sect disciple's body shook, but he buried his head even lower, and didn't say anything. Xiao Yicai asked three more times in succession, but the Demon Sect disciple seemed to be deaf and didn't react at all.

Xiao Yicai slowly stood up and looked at everyone, but no one spoke. Xiao Yicai sighed and said, "What should I do?"

Li Xun, who was standing on the side, frowned, and suddenly strode to the Demon Sect disciple, picked him up, and asked loudly, "Where are those monsters killing people?"

The Demon Sect disciple's body shook, and in an instant, an expression of extreme fear appeared on his face, his mouth opened wide, and after a while, he let out a sharp exclamation, but Li Xun clung to it like a stone heart, and shouted loudly: "Where are those monsters killing and eating people?"

"Ah......h

The Demon Sect disciple who was deeply frightened trembled all over, his teeth were chattering, and his eyes were full of fear, but his head involuntarily looked to the north. Li Xun's eyes froze, and he said hurriedly: "It's in the north, isn't it?"

The Demon Sect disciple suddenly tilted his head, and his whole body softened, everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see that this person's pupils were dilated, and when he poked his nose, he was no longer breathing, and he was actually dead.

Li Xun slowly put down the person's corpse, stood up, and faced the north, everyone followed his eyes, and the forest sea was far away, although it was a clear day, but there seemed to be a bloody cloud enveloping it.

，
