Chapter 152: Purgatory

、、、、、、、

Huqi Mountain, where the main hall of the Demon Sect and the Ghost King Sect is located, is shrouded in a slaughter, and the originally powerful sect suddenly dies more than half of the manpower, no matter how powerful the gate valve in the world, it is also an extremely heavy blow. There were so many hot-blooded disciples who went out to fight with high morale, but when they came back, there was only one ghost king who was covered in blood.

The lingering shadow appeared on the faces and hearts of everyone in Huqi Mountain, and no one knew who the next opponent of those cruel and ferocious beast demons would be?

After the ghost king came back, he went directly behind closed doors to recuperate, no one dared to ask him, but people didn't wait for a long time, and soon, the news came back one after another, and things gradually became clear, in this southwest war, the three major factions of the demon sect joined forces to fight against the beast demon for the first time, although why the three major factions would secretly form an alliance or have other plans, except for the ghost king, no one knows anymore.

And the result of this great battle can be said to have caused the Demon Sect to suffer the most painful defeat in a thousand years, the Ghost King Sect lost more than half of its manpower, not to mention, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect first suffered a great loss in the civil strife in the gate, and then the beast demon attacked the Poisonous Snake Valley, and some of the remaining master disciples were almost killed and injured. As for the Hehuan faction, which has always been dormant in secret, this time, for some reason, they also joined this battle with the strength of their entire faction, and their fate was also wiped out in front of the endless beasts and demons.

At this moment, the Ghost King Sect, whose vitality was greatly injured, was in a panic, but in any case, their situation at the moment was still far better than that of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and the Hehuan Sect, and most of the masters of the Ghost King Sect stayed in Huqi Mountain, so the solid strength of the Ghost King Sect was actually not damaged, and after this battle, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and the Hehuan Sect didn't even know if anyone had escaped.

On this day, after cultivating for many days, in the midst of the uneasy speculation of the disciples under his disciples, the Ghost King reappeared in front of the disciples of the Ghost King Sect. For the defeat he had just experienced, the ghost king didn't mention it, but directly gave a number of orders in a row, and soon, the entire belly of Huqi Mountain began to stir.

All the people began to pack their bags, pack their things, and prepare dry food and water, because the last item of the Ghost King's order clearly stated one thing, because at this moment, the Middle Earth Beast Demon was raging, and the vitality of the Holy Sect was greatly damaged, for the sake of the future of the Holy Sect, he had decided that all the Ghost King Sect would go to the northwest together, enter the Ten Thousand Miles of Wilderness, and go to the legendary birthplace of the Holy Sect - the "Barbarian Temple".

In the midst of the chaos, the Ghost King walked towards the cold stone chamber deep in the mountain, with his hands behind his back. This journey is thousands of miles, and the wilderness is desolate and hot, with the current situation of Baguio, it is not suitable to travel long distances to the wilderness. Originally, with the intention of the ghost king, he wanted to ask Xiaobai to take care of Baguio, and to travel with the nine-tailed heavenly fox for thousands of years, plus the heavy organs of Huqi Mountain, it was naturally foolproof, but now things have changed. Since he came back, somehow, Xiaobai disappeared from here, he asked several people, but no one knew where she was.

Thinking of this, the ghost king's brows furrowed slightly, and unconsciously found that he had come to the outside of the cold stone room where his daughter was, he sighed, opened the door and walked in.

Ghost Li was standing there, silently accompanying Baguio. He heard movement behind him, but he didn't even move his head.

The ghost king paced slowly, walked to the side of the ghost Li, and looked at his daughter who was lying quietly on the cold stone platform from his body, the pale and beautiful face was as clear as before, as if she also knew in the dark that the two men who cared about her in the world, and the two men who were the most important to her, were by her side.

Her expression is very quiet, very calm, and very reassuring!

The ghost king looked at Baguio for a long time, his eyes flashed with a ghostly light, there was a rare kindness, after a long time, he sighed, and said lightly: "Why don't you go and tidy up things?"

Ghost Li didn't look up, nor did he answer him directly, but asked the ghost king, "I heard that the wilderness is square and square, but it's either a desolate Gobi or an endless desert, and it's extremely hot all year round, isn't it?"

The Ghost King nodded and said, "Yes, I once went to the Savage Sanctuary back then, and the climate there is indeed like this. ”

Ghost Li frowned and said, "Then how can Baguio go, she is ...... now?" Look, how can you suffer this?"

The Ghost King glanced at Ghost Li and said, "I didn't want to take Yao'er to the wilderness. ”

Ghost Li's expression moved, and he looked at the ghost king, and the ghost king said: "The wilderness is desolate and hot, it is indeed not suitable for Yao'er, my original intention was to let her stay in Huqi Mountain, and after we leave, launch the ban of the mountain organs and close the entrance, so that it will be very safe." But just in case, someone should come in and check on at least once a month to avoid accidents. ”

Ghost Li stood up and said, "Do you want to keep someone, who is it?"

The ghost king said lightly: "I originally wanted to entrust it to Xiaobai, she is profound, and she is very willing to rest in this Huqi Mountain for a few years, but for some reason, I can't find her these days." ”

Ghost Li's face changed slightly, and the ghost king saw it in his eyes, his heart moved, and said, "What, do you know where she went?"

Ghost Li slowly shook his head, was silent for a moment, and said, "Let me take care of Baguio here." ”

The Ghost King stared at him and said, "Of course I am relieved that you take care of Yao'er, and I can trust you, but now that the Holy Sect has been hit hard, I intend to regain my prestige, first of all, I must stabilize the sect and unify the Holy Sect, and I need you as a talent very much." ”

Ghost Li's gaze left Baguio for the first time, and slowly moved to the ghost king, and suddenly said, "This time I fought with the beast demon, are all those disciples who followed you out?"

The ghost king's face changed, and his eyes were shining, this was the first time that someone dared to mention this matter in front of him, but he didn't get angry, he just looked at the ghost Li so deeply, and then said slowly: "It's all dead." ”

Ghost Li retracted his gaze, fell back on Baguio, and after a while, said: "After this great battle, although the vitality of the Demon Sect has been greatly damaged, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and the Hehuan Sect have all been wiped out, and for our still powerful Ghost King Sect, it cannot but be said to be a great opportunity to unify the Demon Sect. The current situation is like this, even if I don't have me, there is no force in the sect that can compete with you. He said quietly, "But here in Baguio, you still need someone to take care of her, so you let me stay and take care of her." ”

The Ghost King looked at him for a while, then nodded, "Since you said so, I won't force you." Yao'er is entrusted to you, and I believe that you can take care of her, but you remember, the strength of the beast demon is terrifying, and the senses are keen, just in case, it is best to seal the mountain gate, and then you can come in and check it once a month or two, so there will be nothing wrong. ”

Ghost Li nodded slowly, and agreed to it. The Ghost King's gaze redirected at his daughter, and after a moment, he let out a sigh and turned to walk out.

Just as he was about to walk to the door, a ghostly voice suddenly came from behind him: "Sect Master......"

The ghost king was stunned, but it was a little unexpected, the ghost Li rarely took the initiative to greet him, this time he suddenly spoke, but he didn't know why, and said at the moment: "What?"

Ghost Li was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Do you hate me in your heart?"

The Ghost King had his back to him, motionless, did not speak, and could not see his expression.

Ghost Li said slowly: "Baguio became like this because of me, in your heart, do you hate me very much?"

His face was indifferent, as if he was talking about a topic that had nothing to do with him, but the Ghost King never spoke. In the stone room, two men stood back to back, and the atmosphere in the air seemed to stiffen.

The light smoke was light, and it floated gently from the cold ice stone platform under Baguio's body, floating in the air, and I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden sound of the stone door opening behind him, and the ghost king didn't say anything, and walked out quietly.

"Boom ......" sounded in a low voice, and the stone door closed again, leaving only Ghost Li to accompany Baguio in the cold stone room. His face was blank, and he looked at the woman in front of him in a daze.

※※※

In the ancient and dense primeval forest, there was a terrible and scorching smell with the wind, like an ugly scar, the original green woods were full of traces of being ravaged by beasts and demons, huge trees fell to the ground horizontally, countless animal corpses in the forest were thrown everywhere, and the peaceful atmosphere in the entire forest was gone.

On the second day after finding the demon sect disciple who had gone crazy, Xiao Yicai, Fa Xiang and the other seven righteous path disciples gradually approached the valley hidden in the deep mountains, following the more and more obvious traces of the beast demon. The forest they passed along the way was full of the scene they had just seen, and although they did not see the bones of a human being, the sight was still moving.

In the hearts of many people, they even thought about it, could it be that these beasts and demons were really born to come to this world for the purpose of killing?

At noon on this day, a group of people appeared on the broken ancient road outside the Viper Valley, and the traces of the destruction of the beast monsters around here were so obvious that everyone almost didn't have much effort to see that the ancient road was trampled by countless beasts and demons and widened several times, and there were huge footprints and sharp claw marks left by the beast monsters everywhere, and there was still a fishy smell in the air, in addition, there seemed to be a relatively meager but even more unbearable stench, but no one could tell what it was。

Looking at the entrance of the valley in front of him, the inside was the same mess as the outside, the land and forest that had been ravaged by the terrible torrent were clearly visible, and the ancient road was winding and winding, and no one knew what else was in that valley.

For some reason, everyone's expressions were a little nervous, and they fell into an awkward silence. In the end, Xiao Yicai coughed, but after speaking, he quietly found that his throat was dry and painful. He calmed down and said, "Everyone, it seems that the Demon Sect disciple is not lying, it should be here that there was a big battle between the Beast Demon and the Demon Sect. ”

He looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Shall we go in and have a look?"

No one spoke, and even Li Xun's face looked very unsightly at the moment, and after a while, the Fa Xiang who was standing beside Xiao Yicai whispered a Buddha name, and said, "Since we are here, we have no point in saying that we will give up again, let's go in." ”

In fact, everyone present understands this truth, but for some reason, there seems to be something strange in that valley, which quietly affects everyone's emotions and makes people fearful. Fa Shan, the junior brother who had been following the Fa Xiang, responded angrily and walked to the senior brother's side.

"Let's go. It was not Xiao Yicai who said this, but Lin Jingyu, the dragon sword in his hand was clenched tightly, and then his face was solemn, and he walked towards the Valley of Poisonous Snakes first, followed by Lu Xueqi, Li Xun also followed, Xiao Yicai and Fa looked at each other, and they both saw that there was a faint worry in each other's eyes, but after a while, everyone still walked in.

In the huge valley, in the endless forest, everyone walked in the valley of poisonous snakes, but there was only a dead silence all around, not to mention seeing animals, and even the usual birdsong was not heard. The area around this valley seems to have been transformed into a lifeless ghost.

The smell of beasts and monsters in the air was as strong as the fishy smell, but as everyone went deeper, everyone's brows became more and more wrinkled, and at this moment, with another breath blowing in the valley, the terrible smell that almost made people want to vomit became stronger and stronger.

The mountain road was twists and turns, and everyone was engrossed in their surroundings and marched slowly. There was a col around the corner ahead, and the smell in the air was unbearable. Suddenly, Yan Hong, who was walking in the middle, rushed to the side of the road, and the others were all taken aback, Li Xun exclaimed: "Senior sister, what's wrong with you......" Halfway through his words, he stopped, because he and everyone saw Yan Hong standing in the weeds on the side of the road, desperately vomiting.

No one opened their mouths to laugh, for no one knew how long they could last, and the valley, though it had not yet shown its true face, seemed to be more terrifying than most of the rest of the world. Yan Hong gasped and stopped, her face pale, walked back to everyone, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I, I'm really ......"

Fa Xiang smiled reluctantly and said, "Senior Sister Yan, it's okay. ”

Xiao Yicai also said: "Yes, no one can stand this smell, you don't have to care, if you can't do it, why don't you go to the outside of the valley and wait for us first." ”

Yan Hong hesitated for a moment, but shook her head and said, "Let's go." ”

Li Xun walked over and nodded at Yan Hong, with a look of comfort in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Be careful yourself, don't hold on." ”

Yan Hong nodded in agreement, and Xiao Yicai turned his head and said, "Okay, let's continue walking." I don't know what monsters are dangerous ahead, so everyone must be careful. ”

Everyone nodded and walked forward again, Lin Jingyu was still walking in the forefront, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the corner of the mountain col, and the palm of his hand holding the dragon slaying sword began to overflow with cold sweat. At this moment, the air was already stinking and difficult to breathe, Lin Jingyu's face turned slightly pale, gritted his teeth, and stepped over with an arrow step, bypassing the corner of this mountain col, and saw the scene in the valley.

His whole body instantly stiffened.

Everyone behind him immediately noticed Lin Jingyu's abnormality, and couldn't help but get nervous, Xiao Yicai called Lin Jingyu twice in a low voice, but he didn't react at all, a pair of eyes just looked ahead. Lu Xueqi walked up the second, and then Li Xun, Yan Hong, Xiao Yicai, Fa Xiang and Fa Shan, walked through the corners of the col one after another, and saw the scene in the Valley of the Viper.

Then, all of them froze.

That is the legendary tragic Shura Hell, such a terrifying scene, impressively appeared under the clear blue sky and white sun. Countless bones fell inside and outside the house in the Viper Valley, there were people, there were also various beasts and monsters, some were complete, but more were miserable limbs and broken arms, and the bones were so broken that they were so broken that they couldn't be recognized, and they were densely packed all over the ground, and there were almost no gaps in sight.

After barely settling their minds, Xiao Yicai and the others continued to reluctantly walk in with pale faces.

The terrible sight was everywhere, and the deeper you went into the valley, the more tragic the scene became, and the battle here could be seen to be extremely tragic without imagination, the bones of countless people and the corpses of monsters and beasts were entangled, and the ground under your feet had completely turned a deep black, the color soaked in blood.

Walking into the mansion, inside and outside every room, at the entrance of the important passage, you can see the remnants of the fierce battle, and in some places even the bones are piled up high, obviously to fight for this small entrance, the two sides fought to the death one after another, stepping on the corpses of their comrades and fighting endlessly.

In the courtyard, everyone began to see several huge demon beast corpses, some of which were even taller than the entire palace house, but at this moment, the once fierce demon beasts were just lying quietly in this hell-like place on earth, waiting to rot.

The stench of corpses in the air has reached a terrifying level, but the righteous path disciples and their party are a little better than just now, because the tragic situation in front of them has made them indifferent to these stenches, but no one's expressions are good-looking, and in anyone's opinion, the faces of these people seem to be almost the same as those of dead people.

They continued to walk towards the depths of the mansion, more corpses and bones appeared in front of them, and now no one knew how many Demon Sect disciples and beast monsters had died in this valley, they almost subconsciously walked inside, walked, walked......

Everyone's face was so dull and wooden, everyone held their magic weapon tightly, and refused to relax at all, after crossing countless seas of corpses, bones and blood, they came to a mourning hall.

The reason why it can be seen that it is a mourning hall is because they saw a coffin in this room, and the inside and outside of this room seemed to be the place where the struggle was most intense, and it would not be too much to describe it as a mountain of bones. It was here that everyone found many corpses familiar to the Demon Sect: Hundred Poison Sons, Vampire Old Demons, Duanmu Old Ancestors......

These demon cult murderers who used to dominate the storm and call for wind and rain are all hiding in this place at the moment, and many of them still have fear on their faces.

Anyone can imagine, but no one wants to imagine what it was like before they died!

With the deepening of the investigation, Xiao Yicai and other older people have successively discovered more famous figures of the Demon Sect here, including the three major disciples of the Poison God and many important figures in the Hehuan Sect, but on the side of the Ghost King Sect, although the disciples wearing the costumes of the Ghost King Sect have died a lot, but the bones of the famous characters have rarely been found.

Everyone slowly gathered in front of the mourning hall, and seeing that the faces of the people around them were ugly, Xiao Yicai said astringently: "Many people have died here, the important people of the Demon Sect are here, and the Ten Thousand Poison Gate seems to be all dead." ”

Yan Hong's face next to him was pale and terrifying, and he said in a low voice: "It's the same over there, the Hehuan faction has also died a lot, even Mrs. Sanmiao is there, ...... there."

Lu Xueqi's face was pale, her teeth were clenched to her lower lip, her expression on her face was complicated and changed, she looked unbearable, disgusting, and somehow, she seemed to be a little scared. After the last one walked back to the crowd, she suddenly said, "Have you seen anyone from the Ghost King Sect?"

Everyone shook their heads together, and then they were all stunned, and Li Xun, who was standing on the side, suddenly looked even more difficult to look at. Xiao Yicai glanced at him and said to Lu Xueqi: "The ordinary disciples of the Ghost King Sect have died a lot, but they don't seem to have seen it...... The corpses of famous people. ”

Lu Xueqi's face softened, but Li Xun next to him suddenly had a bright light in his eyes, and said coldly: "Senior Brother Xiao, have you forgotten that these beast demons are all cannibals, we came in along the way, how many white bones we saw, who knows if those Ghost King Sect demons will be ......?"

"Wow!" A shout interrupted Li Xun's words, but Yan Hong suddenly couldn't bear it, and ran to the corner of the wall to vomit, Li Xun was stunned for a moment, suddenly sighed, and stopped talking.

Fa Xiang had an unbearable look on his face, and he and Fa Shan whispered the Buddha's name together, everyone knew that although Li Xun's words were ugly, this possibility was really great. Xiao Yicai, Lin Jingyu and the others had complicated faces, and they all slowly lowered their heads, only Lu Xueqi's face was gloomy, and his face was pale without a trace of blood, and even his body shook a few times involuntarily.

It's just that this cold woman didn't bow her head, she slowly raised her head and looked up at the sky, and even the clouds above the valley looked blood-red in the boundless blue sky.

Lu Xueqi's lips moved, as if she wanted to shout something, but after all, no sound came out!
