The night was dark. The red light of the lantern illuminates a small area, and the red lantern hangs on the bamboo branch and floats closer.

Crystal floated in mid-air from her bosom and looked at the lantern, her face full of curiosity.

"Put it on. ”

An old voice came from behind the lantern, and four red cloaks flew out of the darkness and landed in front of Yin Fan.

These were four Red Demon Sect-style red cloaks, the size was not much different from Yin Fan and Crystal, and the other two were faintly consistent with Luo Qingyi and Realm Spirit.

"...... this?"

"Come with me. ”

A figure with a hazy silhouette carried a bamboo branch, and nothing else could be seen clearly.

The two put on red cloaks and black boots, and followed the red lantern to the depths of the barren mountain.

The barren mountain trails shrouded in night wind between the cliffs, and from time to time stones fall off the cliffs as you walk. Yin Fan slowly peeked under the cliff, and there was a shadow moving in the dark abyss, like a human face smiling like crazy.

"Why don't you fly with the Relics?"

Regarding Yin Fan's doubts, the phantom in front of him did not answer. Bypassing many mountain forks, the cliffside trail was suddenly covered in empty mist, and the darkness was dispelled by a milky white shimmer.

Singing drifted in the wind, and through the gaps in the fog, the lights were seen in the procession.

The phantom in front of him stopped, and two red lanterns floated in front of Yin Fan.

"Pick them up and keep going. ”

With that, the phantom walked into the fog with the lantern and disappeared.

"Hey!"

No one answered Yin Fan's shout, he hurriedly grabbed the lantern to the crystal, took her hand and walked forward.

As he walked, Yin Fan's consciousness couldn't help but blur, as if he was lured by the ranks of lights, and walked towards the gathering place of the team.

The singing became louder and louder, Yin Fan's eyes suddenly widened, and a series of unknown images appeared in his mind......

The man with his hair turning from red to black walked on a battlefield full of corpses, followed by a woman in red and countless black-armored soldiers.

The shadow of a monster appears in front of the field of vision. They look strange and disgusting, their whole body looks like they have been skinned, some have their heads on their stomachs, some have their mouths split in their arms or abdomen, and so on......

The man rushed over first, and immediately the blood flowed like a river.

After slaying all the creatures, the man continued to walk forward, crossing the dark red forest and seeing the common people.

But-

Men slash like slashing. After these people die, their bodies become monsters that are neither human nor demonic, twisting their bodies and eating human flesh.

A fire burned there, and the man continued to walk forward.

Behind him was the woman in red, a group of black-armored soldiers, who walked forward as if there was no end in sight......

...... Yin Fan looked up suddenly, only to find that he had walked out of the fog.

The field of vision is full of hazy red butterflies fluttering, and the crystal that has broken away from itself at some point stands in front of it and is surrounded by red butterflies alone.

"Crystals?"

The moment Yin Fan's hand rested on the crystal shoulder, the image invaded his mind again......

The girl in the red sacrificial dress stood in front of the name of the village, tugging at the corner of her skirt tightly, looking around in uneasiness.

The name of the village said something, and Qi Qi stretched out his hand to grab the girl, and the endless darkness hit.

The girl woke up lying on the altar with her hands, feet and waist bound with blood-stained hemp rope, and the shaman blindfolded her eyes with a blood-stained cloth and prayed to heaven with open hands.

The girl's eyes widened in horror, trying to break free. The wizard turned and approached her with the blood-stained knife from the stone platform.

The girl struggled even more.

The wizard raised his knife and stabbed it into the girl's palm, and the girl screamed, and the wizard picked up a sharp knife and stabbed her wrist......

By the time of the eightieth stab, the girl was still dead, slumped on the altar with a faint gasp, her eyes and the corners of her mouth bleeding.

The wizard picked up a sharp knife and stabbed the girl in the heart......

...... Suddenly, a short scream pulled Yin Fan back to reality, and Crystal squatted on the ground with his chest clutched, his body trembling.

"It's okay, it's okay, Daddy is here. ”

Yin Fan took her into his arms and comforted her softly.

“...... Daddy?"

Crystal looked up, her eyes full of blood and tears.

"It hurts, the crystal hurts, Daddy, don't let the crystal be stabbed......"

"No, Daddy is here, and no one will stab you anymore. ”

Yin Fan's face rubbed against her face, patted her back gently, and after a long time she quieted down, and suddenly she grinned, buried her head in Yin Fan's arms and rubbed it, and kept shouting:

"Daddy, Daddy......"

"Hmm. ”

The red butterflies around him flew into the distance, and suddenly a red-cloaked man appeared at the end of his vision, he raised his hand and pinched it, and the red butterfly immediately turned into a broken point of light and disappeared.

"Don't touch those red butterflies. ”

As he spoke, the man threw over a roll of paper made of leather, on which was a very complex map, indicating a room in a staggered cascade, on which a figure was marked.

"The Red Butterfly Holy Envoy will try my best to hold it back, and whether or not you can save people depends on your own creation. ”

The man turned away.

The skin made of the map is extremely soft and smooth, and it is difficult to see what kind of skin it is in the foggy surroundings.

The map is not like Penglai, which can be indicated at all times, only marking the movement of each branch.

Yin Fan put the crystal down and pulled her, took a deep breath, and walked into the cave in front of him.

Passing through the hallway, you came to a large circular space with a hollow in the middle, and the red-cloaked people seemed to be extremely busy on the way carved out of the rock.

There are several people like Yin Fan who walk with children.

Yin Fan pulled the brim of his hat, walked in the direction he had just written, and continued to move forward after taking out the map for comparison when no one was around.

The road was unusually quiet, and the sound of water droplets dripping from the spiky stalactites overhead was clearly audible.

Were the guards transferred by that man?

Yin Fan was a little uneasy, and suddenly felt that he didn't trust the other party too much.

When they met, they walked in wearing the clothes given by the other party, if this is the place where Luo Qingyi and the realm spirit are imprisoned, it is definitely a base of the Demon Sect, right?

The more he thought about it, the farther his thoughts drifted, and the note Jiang He gave him a few days ago also made him feel a little weird.

Now that I think about it, did the word "run" on the note remind him to hurry up, or was there some other reason?

Since the person who claimed to be the Red Butterfly Holy Envoy could easily subdue Luo Qingyi and the Realm Spirit, and his cultivation should have a return to the true realm, since that was the case, why didn't he just wipe out Yin Fan and the others?

couldn't figure out these questions, which made Yin Fan feel anxious, and his pace accelerated a little.

"Daddy?"

The crystal, who was a little puzzled, raised his head and looked at Yin Fan.

"Let's go. ”

In view of the fact that no one had been seen using the Imperial Sky or Imperial Object Technique when he came and just now, Yin Fan did not dare to use it rashly.

When I came to the point marked on the map, I found that it was a sunken space, and the plank road built on the rock wall was spiraling down, and I was about to go down the plank road when I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.

If the people of the Demon Cult find out that he has come here, it will be troublesome.

Yin Fan looked around and found no space to hide, and the sound of footsteps in his ears became clearer.

Yin Fan suddenly remembered the mask of the robbery. He hurriedly took it, and was shocked to find that the crystal had not become invisible with him as it had done before.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, he quickly took off his mask and let the crystal take it on, telling her how to use it.

As soon as the crystal disappeared, a red-cloaked man walked in, and Yin Fan stood up straight with bated breath.

"Did anyone approach here just now?"

What appeared to be a middle-aged man asked him.

"Nope. ”

Yin Fan, who didn't know how to answer, said in a low tone and casually.

The man nodded and walked over Yin Fan to the plank road into the sinking space, and soon disappeared from his field of vision.

"Hoo ......"

"Daddy?"

Crystal looked at him strangely.

"It's fine. ”

Yin Fan approached the edge of the sunken space and peeked down, and saw the man walking to the side through the dim torch, and the bottom seemed to be a wider place.

"He's very high. ”

“...... Can you see it?"

"The ninth in the realm of ruins. ”

Yin Fan squatted down and looked at the crystal in shock, only to find something extremely strange.

Ever since Crystal ate the strange female corpse with eyes all over it, she had broken away from the Xuantian Bagua Sword Formation. It can be said that the current crystal is an independent individual, but she is still using her own power.

From Yin Fan's point of view, the crystal does not have any cultivation.

"It's weird. ”

Yin Fan said to himself.

"What is Daddy talking about?"

"The crystals are so cute. ”

"Hee-hee-hee......"

Yin Fan pulled the crystal onto the plank road, determined to investigate this sinking space.

The torches on the rock wall were swayed by the wind that surged below, and the already dim light was even more dim.

The air was full of strange fishy smells, and Yin Fan's expression became even more solemn.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the strange man he met in Leizhou, eating human flesh and holding a fiery sword.

Does that person have anything to do with the Demon Cult?

Thinking about it like this, the two of them came to the bottom of the sunken space.

The smell of blood here was even stronger, and there were traces of blood being dragged everywhere, and suddenly feeling something behind him, Yin Fan turned around and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

The man was looking at him almost leaning against his body. The upper and lower skins of his mouth were cut off, and the bridge of his nose was gone, and only two holes could be seen.

“......”

Yin Fan didn't know how to explain,

"Huh, you're not a prison guard?"

The man ripped off his hood, and Yin Fan found that the top of his skull had been completely shaved off, and his brain could see it clearly.

"Die. ”

The man's exposed brain rushed out of a head and bit it, and Yin Fan was about to use teleportation to distance himself, but found that his body couldn't move.

Not only could he not move, but the movements of the man on the other side also stopped.

Both of their bodies were shrouded in a silky red light.

The crystal appeared, tilting its head and smiling at the man, and something was transported into the crystal's body along the light.

Yin Fan just felt that his body couldn't move, and the rest had no effect.

As time passed, the man's breath became weaker and weaker, and after about an hour, the light from the crystal from the third eye dissipated, and the man's body went limp, lying directly on the ground, wheezing like convulsions.

“...... Crystal, what did you suck him?"

Frightened, Yin Fan squatted down and looked at the crystal.

"I don't know. ”

Crystal smiled innocently.

The man gasped first, then the whole person trembled spasmodically, and there was a clicking sound all over his body.

Yin Fan cracked and hugged the crystal away.

The man suddenly jumped up from the ground and approached Yin Fan like a puppet, every time Yin Fan took a step with the crystal, the man followed and stopped, the man stopped.

Crystal raised his hand and shook it, and the man's body immediately fell to the ground like a puppet's thread had broken, motionless.

"Can you control him?"

Yin Fan asked in astonishment.

Crystal grinned and beckoned again, and the man stood up like a puppet again.
